they might attend to some i'm
p~ortant matters concerning their
dance and supper.
Tests in several subjects were
given on Thursday and Friday.
The high school dance, given
last Friday night, was a very bril-
liant affair. 1t was both financial
ly aud socially a Lunch
of ice cream and cake was served
by the mothers of the high school
pupils. The dance lasted until
about 2:30 Saturday morning.
Three of our rooms have been
equipped with new slate boards,
procured with the proceeds of the
play given by the teachers, with
some assistance from the school
board.
Annie Houston was absent Mon
day, visiting at the Sears ranch.
The snow has gone from the
play grounds and the last few
days the children have been en-
joying the swings, teeters and the
merry-go.round after a long whit
er's idleness.
Earl Petty was absent from
school Tuesday.
The tenth grade held a business
meeting in Miss Forney's room

CAPITAL CITY FACING A TERRI
BILE FATE.

Reports in the daily press in
dictate that a bill has been intro
duced in the national congress
providing that no saloons or other
establishments which dispense in
toXicating beverages of any sort
shall exist within a radius of
twenty miles of any army post or
other station occupied by the gov
ernment's troops. The passage of
such a bill would cause a consider
able drouth in the neighhorhood
of Cheyenne and Sheridan on &C
count of the close proximity of
government forts, and citizens of
these cities may be confronted
with a choice between giving up
either their forts or their booze.
AS they perhaps cannot get rid of
the forts, they will have to grasp
the other horn of the dilemma.
Many people of Denver and
other Colorado cities have found
that living in prohibition territory
is not SO bad, especially when you
have a good cellar filed with bar

Cheyenne and Sheridan anti-pro-
hibitionists could rs a last resort

MANNED SOLDIERS MARCH IN PARADE OF ANTLPACIF ISIS Scores of One-Legged Men HobbIe Along on Crutches
 In the Streets of
 Petr0grad
AMBASSADOR FRANCIS HEARD BY THOUSANDS
Dwells on Imperativeness of Victory For Consolidation of Freedom Won By the Revolutionists
 In Russia

Petrograd. April 29-via London)-An anti-pacifist procession comprised of some 1000 of maimed, bandaged and con- valescent soldiers on foot or in motor lorries, assembled this morning outside the cathedral and paraded the streets to the strain of 'eThe Marseillaise.'
 Scores of one-legged men bearing mili- tary decorations hobbled along on crutches, while many others were glad to accept the helping arms of nurses, Banners bore inscriptions inviting Lenine and company" to "get back to William"
 The procession augmented on it's way to the Duma building and by the time it had reached the American embassy there were tens of thousands of persons in line. David R. Francis, the American ambassador, delivered several addresses from the balcony
 MT. Francis said the joy of 100, 900 OO0 American free men in the attainment of Russian liberty was only second to the joy of the Russians themselves. The ambassador dwelt on the imperativeness of victory for the consolidation of the freedom won by the revolution He said he could not imagine the possibiiay of a separate peace by Russia which would involve the loss of all the Russian peo- pie had gained.
 NJ. Rodzianko, president of the Duma, who was in the crowd, was invited into the embassy, where he stood beside Am bassador Francis and led in the cheering for the ambassador of the United States.

PRACTICAL SERMON

Mid-Week Service at The Temple Omitted Account
 Miss Wilson's Concert

From the text, Come and See" pr H. M. Edmonds preached a practical ser mon at the Lyric last night The really through personal experience" said Dr. Edwards One cannot describe the deliv- erances of the senses except in relative terms; be it the delicate scent of a flower, the richness and riot of color, the rare melody of music when played or sung by the master artist; none of these things ban be defined except in general terms and by comparison.
 You cannot explain the song of the mocking bird, but you can hear and en- joy it; neither can you understand the self-sacrifce love of mother Because of this necessity of individual experience life is complicated; we would like to give the young son and daughter the benefit of advice gleaned through our expe- rience, but they will have none of it; they must sail the sea of life for them- selves, feel and taste and see and make their own deliverances as to life.

 The atonement draws humanity to the heart of God, learning the love of God You cannot explain or define immortal ity;' you tcome and see and begin to live now the dignity and density of eternal life here and now in preparation for the hereafter.

 Announcement was made that the $ o'clock midweek service at the temple would be omitted this week on account Of the concert given by Miss Wilson for the Red Cross.
 "The Point of Men'' was the subject of the morning services at the temple. Life with its perplexities and sorrows and joys vary very little for all men, but the attitude of the individual makes all the difference in the world, said Dr. Edmonds.
 Shall the sorrow or the difficulty master and break you, or will you be the master and use it's lessons as a stepping stone to finer, greater things? Shall the situation whatever 1t may be domi~a-e you or will you dominate the situation? Life is made larger in one case; death ensues in the other.
