The sophomore girls of the girls |
club entertained the club Tuesday af-

at the river. After a short business
meeting, weinies were roasted end the |
meeting adjourned. Three senior
girls who were delayed until later
were trying to locate the girls and
finally saw them away down the riv-
err. Being confused as to the location
they crossed on the bridge and hur-
ried to where they thought they
were but found that the girls were
on the other side. They went back
to the railroad bridge and started to
cross. They were unaware of an ap-
preaching freight until informed by
the girls on the shore. Frightened by
this they hurried as fast as possible
and jumped off the bridge and let
the train go by. They escaped with
out injury but this will prove a les
son to all of the girls to always

Postmaster Stotts was quite indig-
nant, or let on that he was, because
the Herald unknowingly left him out
of the party that went down to Can
adian, Texas, last week in an effort
to get new automobile highway to
come to Garden City. He says that
when the party arrived in Canadian
they at once found out that the road
was already located, and the meeting
was only to complete details for its
construction, but that the Canadian
people welcomed the Garden City
boys with open arms, invited them to
a big banquet and refused to allow
them to pay for anything while in
the town. The road as planned will
pass through Elkhart, the only town
in Kansas, and will join the Santa
Fe Trail at Lamar.
After reading the account of the
trip to Canadian by the Liberal papers
the conclusion is forced that the news
are a little sore.-Gardcn City

The annual meeting of the Bent &
Prowers Stockgrowers Association
was held in the Court House on Mon
day The meeting was attended by
representative stockmen from all over
southeastern Colorado and the inter
est in the deliberations of the day was
intense. For this association is the
representative body through which the
stockmen cooperate for mutual pro-
lection of their business.
The meeting was presided over by
James Cushny of Prowers, president
and NJ. J. McMillin of Carlton, secre-
tary. Matters of Importance % the
industry were discussed in detail thru
out the day The sentiment of more
than fifty representative men was
thus drawn out for the guidance of
the executive committee in their ac-
tons for the coming year.
The proposed Herd Law" was thor
oughly explained and when the dis
cussion was over, every one present
understood its provisions and how it
would affect both stockmen ard farm
ers. In fact, the new bill seems to be
a compromise between the differing
interests of the country-a common
ground upon which all could meet
and decide their differences.
The executive committee was in
structed to offer such rewards as they
might see fit for the conviction of
cattle thieves. 1t certainly has come
to the point where something just
must be done to protect the range cat
tie Of the country. Cattle stealing and
killing has been more prevalent dur
ing the past year than it has since the
early days. Detection is difficult, in
many cases, but when a man is caught
the association will do all in its power
to convict, in an effort to stamp out
this unlawful practice. An attorney
will be retained by the association to
aid in the prosecution of these cases.
An assessment was voted on each
member Of 8 cents on each head of
cattle owned, in order to provide the
funds for maintenance of the associa-
ton.
Edwin McCrillis, secretary of the
Stock Inspection Board, was present
and entered into the discussion giving
the stoclmen the benefit of his broad
experience.
DR.. Lamb, state veterinarian, adj.
dressed the meeting on the subject OF
anthrax, foot and mouth disease, and
blackleg. Many interesting points Of

as to blackleg, DIR. Lamb making tn,

Morgan City Boys Write OF
Camp 'Doings"

Camp Pike, Ark, Sept. 80. 1917
Editor Morgan City Review,
Morgan City, La.
Dear Mr.. King
! Our delay in Writing to you is due
! to the fact that we have been kept in
strict quarantine since our arrival
Every moment of our time has been
taken up in drills and military tao
tics.
We feel it is almost useless to ex-
press our views of the Camp mas
much as number of the boys have
previously written to you stating ex-
act conditions, which is in conform
ity our views.
We are glad to state the fact that
we started out as real soldiers.
One of the two serving as kitchen
police (polite term for flunky), the
very first day in Camp, however, we
are glad to state that three of us
have made one step forward by be-
ing appointed acting corporals,
which we hope will be as stepping
stone to further promotion.
We wish to take advantage of this
opportunity to make known to you
that our esteemed friends have been
doing noble work; Frank Prohaska,
serving as kitchen police "a polite
term for dish washer) Kaufman has
been assigned to the broom brigade
and keeps the dust in a whirl, while
our light weight, champion, Chapman,
failed to put on enough fat before
leaving home, which keeps medical
examiners busy thinking whether IN
Gle Sam will be able to use him or not.
However, it is our desire to keep him
with US in order to maintain the name
of DIRTY Half Dozen), which was
given to us prior to our departure.
We expect to leave tomorrow and
be assigned to the regular depart
ments which we are better fitted for,
to serve our country
Wishing you continued success, we
are,
Yours very truly,
LABE,
LABORDE,
ROY.

Registration Of Women
October II

England, France, Canada, and Am
erica are taking registration of
their woman power. With the men
from every walk of life going, going,
going to serve in every possible ca
pacity in this world war it is of vital
Importance that the Government have
concise, tabulated record of what
every woman in the country is ca
pable of doing in the event that they
be called upon to fill the vacancies
created in all businesses by the alb
sence of the men.
If woman desires training in
some special line of work, the govern
ment wishes to know it, obviously
with the intent to assist her in secur-
ing training.
If you do not register, the Council
of Defense will be aware of the
fact, and your name will go on rec
ord lust the same-but there will be
a mark beside it.
Let US all be up and doing. and
help to share actively and not pass
lively in the colossal burden that has
fallen upon the world. No woman
would wish to be thought lacking III
religion. yet patriotism is a very vi
tai factor in religion, and how is the
world to know that you are patriotic
unless you do your share in this af
fair of registration in Red Cross
Work, in the Navy League, or in
sending your men folk to the battle
ground?
