MRS. MCCARTHY HOME AGAIN

Mrs. ]. L. McCarty returned Sun

East. Mrs. McCarty visited New
York, Philadelphia and spent several
days with Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Mercer
at Washington, where she met a num-
Der of our noted Senators and Con-
gressmen and their families. One of
the interesting reports brouoilt back
from the capital includes the state
ment that Mrs. McCarty joined the
suffragists and has her name inscrib-
ed in the Georgia delegation.
Mrs. McCarty had planned to re-
main in Washington for the inaugu-

caused her to hasten home to the
peaceful valleys of her beloved Geor-
gia.

THE GREENWOOD SHOW
DELIGHTS FITZGERALD

The Greater Greenwood show that
opened for weeks engagement in
Fitzgerald Monday night again scored
heavy WITH Fitzgerald pleasure seek
ers. The return engagement OF this
big popular company bids fair to be
a repeater OF their former visit here
both as to big crowds and to the
pleasing quality OF the show. The
program changes every night and
special features are added each night
This afternoon there will be spec
ial matinee, the gross receipts going
to the Public Library.
Tonight the play will be Three
Married Men" which promises laugh
every thirty seconds.
Tomorrow night Brown Skim" the
big feature song'and dance is schedul-
ed, and Friday night, which is the
feature night with the Greenwood
show, in addition to a special play
there will be Chero-Cola Drinking
Contest for cash prize.
The Greenwood show never fails
to make good and when one considers
that the price of admission is only 15c
it is really remarkable that it can be
done.
Tonight one lady will be admitted
free with each fifteen cent ticket, and
no doubt standing room only will be
at premium.

Fall Grains to BE Tried at Pinedale.
(Pinedale R%oundup.)

The possibility of winter grain grow
ing in this section has long been a sub
ject Of discussion by local citizens and
is now going to receive a trial that will
demonstrate whether or not this sec
ton is adapted to the growing of fall
planted grains.
John w. Hay of Rock Springs, who
has at all times been an ardent booster
for this region, and who is interested
in the Jones, Son & Co. store at Pine
an order for 1000 pounds of the best
No. l Turkey Red winter wheat, which
is to be distributed in lots of 80 pounds
to twenty ranchmen, who will plant
for the purpose of seeing what a be
accomplished. If this plan proves sue
cessful and it is demonstrated that the
winter-grown grains can be raised here,
flour mill is established to take care of
future crops of grain grown in this
section.
The plan is urged by Mr.. Hay for
more h demonstration purposes or
any notoriety that may attach to the
plan, for during the present emergency
and war with Germany every locality
should be as self-supporting as posi-
BILE, which MI. Hay feels will be a great
aid in this inland section, should it be
possible for us to supply our own flour
and mill products, which are now be-
ing shipped in by the many carloads
each year, and will assist in relieving
the drain on other communities for
our future needs, allowing such pro-
ducts to be disposed of for the benefit
of other ~less-favored localities.-Pine-

EFT of Carbon county recently placed in
jail at Rawlins. John Leibig, a prom
inent rancher of the'Leo district, whose
place is located on the Platte river sew
eral miles north of Rawlins. He was
taken before u. S. Commissioners Geo.
e. Brimmer of Rawlins on a charge of
attempting to 'obstruct the recruiting
and enlistment service IF the United
States army"
According to affidavits which have
been filed with the United States dis
trict attorney, Leibig has boosted that
he is a German sy~mpathizer, has stat
ed that lie believes Germany has acted
right in all things, even to the perses-
cution and deportation of Belgian
women and children, and has been out
spoken in his condemnation of Amer
lea for entering the war. More recent
ly he has stated, it is said, that he had
under way plans to dispose of his hold
ings in Wyoming, go to lower Califor-
mia N there become a Mexican citi-
zen in order that he might aid Ger
many. 1t is also alleged that he has
talked schemes which are reasonable
to the United States.
Feeling against him runs high in
many, a p~enniless and ignorant for
eigner. He was n~aturalized In the dis
trict court of Carbon county in 1905,
and then made use of his American
citizenship to take up a homestead.
He has prospered in recent years,
FEELING against him runs high in

CHICKENS FOR EMPTY CANS
Trading Of Discarded Tins and Bottles
for Food Is Common in ThIbet,
Explorer Reports.

Bringing with him an extensive col.
lection of small mammals, reptiles and
birds, Roy C. Andrews head of the
Asiatic geological expedition, has ar
rived in New York, after year and
n half In the remote provinces Of
China.
The expedition spent much Of the
time in the mountains of Yunnan and
progressed as far as Thibet. Mr.. An
drews adventures included everything
from hunting "blue" tigers to buying
chickens at the rate of two for one
empty condensed milk can.
Politically China is in chaotic
state, Mr.. Andrews reports, as most of
the provinces are so far removed from
the central government at Peking that
any change of authority does not
make itself felt. Socially, he declares,
1t is overrun with bandits, most of
whom are recruits from the army. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Andrews, there is no
great moral difference between n Chi
nese common soldier and bandit.
In many places lie found traffic by
water impossible because the army has
a habit of using small river boats for
target practice.
The expedition found the border of
Thlbet an ideal place to live in. Food
may be bought with old bottles and
cans. There are plenty of servants
and no rumor of the war has pene-
trated that far.

Alfalfa as EIayorIna Extract.

Alfalfa is mighty useful plait.
Domesti, animals, from the chicken
to the COW, find 1t gastronomlcally
available. But the notion Of deriving
from fluid extract for the fiavoring
of beverages and foods Is altogether
novel For this purpose the alfalfa is
cut and harvested when about fourteen
days old and eight to twelve inches
high. In this early stage of growth it
is relatively free from woody fiber.
1t Is washed in warm water and dCied
by artificial heat, thus retaining its
natural flavor and light green color.
1t Is then ground into tiny pieces and
boiled in vacuum pans after which it
Is filtered. to get rid of the solids. The
fluid thereby separated Is mixed with
pure sugar sirup and bottled. In this
shape it is available as flavoring for
soda-fountain beverages, and even for
some foods, as well as for chewing
gum and candles. Medicinal proper
ties are claimed for 1t.
