ALL PATRIOTIC WOMEN WILL
REGISTER NEXT TUESDAY.

The patriotism of Wyoming women
i'll response to II proclamation by Gov
ernor Houx, h women of the state
are asked to register for service. There
are approximately $4,000 women who
could volunteer to aid their country
III the present emergency, and it is
confidently expected that a goodly pro-
portion will do so.
Registration blanks are now being
sent to the several counties for distri-
button. The registration will take place
in the regular precincts and will be in
charge of women volunteering for the
occasion. Nearly all the counties are
already well organized.
In a number of the larger towns the
committees in charge are arranging an
automobile service for the day, the
object being to secure the heaviest pos
sible registration.
There are two registration cards. 1t
is believed that Wyoming women will
voluntarily come forward and regis
ter under IL of the two plans of reg
istration. one of these plans only
pledges women to carry out the direc-
tions and advice of the food admins
traitor in the conduct of their house
holds insofar as circumstances will
permit.
1t is believed that every woman can
find some employment under the state
council that would add to the defense
of the nation and they are earnestly
asked to give the matter their serious
consideration. The registration is
purely voluntary, but it is believed that
the response will be general.

Robert Burns, Father.

In boyhood Robert Burns saw his IA
ther distressed by landlords and their
factors upon rack renting intent. Upon
evil days had agriculture then fallen.
Markets were limited or remot and in
accessible. The hydraheaded indus
trialism, iourishing now upon iron ore
and coal in Ayrshire and Lanarkshire
and consuming the produce of the
farms, had not then emerged in his
tory.
Although descended from Highland
clansmen, William Burns. the poets ia
Their, had outgrown the feudal loyalty
which works out as sheer funkeyism,
accepting the cuffs and kicks of the
superior person with the inverted
pride which counts it a distinction even
to be kicked by the foot of an arts

each year, a sufficient amount could
easily be grown in the valley to JUS
tify the re-opening of the local flour
mill and this section then would not
need to depend upon other sections of
the country to furnish its supply of
flour and other breadstuffs.
Since that time there has been much
favorable talk among ranch-owners of
the valley and it is likely that the com
ing fall will witness a considerable
acreage of winter wheat planted in
this section. A local business man has
assured the farmers that if n suffi-
cient acreage of winter wheat is
grown in the valley he will undertake
to organize a company to operate the
mill and furnish u home market for all
milling wheat grown in this region.

years, however, that high sage brush
lands and foothill slopes in attitudes
similar to this region are especially
adapted to the growing of the best
grades of hard milling wheat. it is evil
den that the sooner that industry is
taken up by the landowners of south

territory begin to benefit from the

farms from purely patriotic motives
They a to help in this great ma
tional emergency, and this is the only
way they can see to do SO. We talked
to the mothers of a goodly number OF
these boys who are coming from the
personally that a very large proportion
of the boys from there are SOM of well
TODD parents, and do not need to do
harvest work during their vacations
mite toward The success of our country.
Let us accept it in that spirit. Even
though they don't know anything
about it, let us realize that we didn't,
either, until we learned by doing. The
city boy who is willing and really
wants to help will learn just as quickly
as we learned. How useful he is dur
ing his stay among us depends on how
we greet him and help him to learn
provided, of course, he has energy and
wants to help. He may not be worth
his board the first week.. But IL he is
in earnest and is not worth more than
his board the second week it will be
the fault of the man he works for
not the city fellows fault.
Remember, he knows just as much
about farming as you would know
about work one in the city he comes
from.
Then, too, let us remember that this
war may last through another and yet
another summer. The farmer who
gives the boy or man from the city,
with energy n desire to help, an OPP
portunity to learn-has patience with
him-will in many cases be able to get
the same fellow back next season. We
may possibly need these men worse
next year han we do this. But we
surely won't get them unless we
have patience with them and help them
learn how.

A STORY.

The following is a good story. The
worlds best and most disable wisdom
by and by gets itself into a story, and,
when the truth is embodied in u u tale,
that is, when it is expressed in terms
of imagination, then it is made flesh
and dwells among u.s."
y farmer had become tired of his
farm. He had lived on the place; he
was born there. When a boy he had
driven the cows in from the pasture,
swan the creek, gathered apples in the
orchards, and carried his books across
the meadow and through the woods
pasture to the little box of a school
house down the lane.
As II young MAJ he plowed and har-
rowed i'll the spring, made hay and
bound oats in the summer and hauled
fodder to the cattle in the winter.
To the old home he brought his
bride. There his children were born
that were now grown up and gone.
He was sick Of the place. He had
dreamed of some nice quiet spot where
conditions were ideal; where he could
pass his declining years in comfort.
So he went to a real estate dealer
in tow and listed his farm for sale.
The agent drove out and looked the
premises over He said he thought he
would have no difficulty in finding a
purchaser, as the property seemed to
be III fine condition.
When the farmer received the next
weeks issue of his country paper he
read the real estate agents advertise
ment. 1t was IL good one.
1t stated the Perkins farm of 100
acres was for sale. 1t was fertile. A
crop failure had never been known.
There was forty acres of excellent tim.
Der land, a good artesian well, plenty
OF pasture land, and a charming dwell
ing house, with adequate barns, bins
and sheds, The place was well stocked
with horses, cattle, hogs and poultry.
II was of easy access to the city and
had telephone and rural free delivery
advantages. Anyone looking for au
ideal farm would do well to call al
the agents office at once.
The next day the farmer was at the
agents office, and said:
Say, l read you advertisement OF
my place in the paper, and as neal as
| can figure out that's exactly the
kind of n place L have been looking
for. I'll just keep it myself"
All of which goes to show that il
pays to advertise, if only to satisfy
yourself.-EN.

and mix thoroughly and sponge light
Iy with this mixture over the horse in
the morning and he will be free from
worry for the day. This has been test
ed and found an excellent remedy for
flies, gnats, etc.
When a deer fly or n skeeter gets

and go after him right away. You can
save your horses a lot of misery by
protecting them from flies. And they

History of Wyoming Oil.
Continued from First Page)

NSollllhutu " 1loI uStJ
There are t~wenty-nine counties in
the state, and in every n a v two
petroleum has been found, and experts
declare that with development in these
two counties oil will be found.
In the more than fifty producing
fields in the state there are in round
numbers 800 wells, the acreage in
these fields ~aggregating around 100,-
900 acres. While the policy Of with
drawing from public entry by execu-
tive order prospective oil lands In the
public domain has been, according to
expert opinion, detrimental to the oil
industry, it has not initiated against
Wyoming, but rather has been bene-
fetal, for it has prevented production
in excess of transportation and refining
facilities.
This lack of transportation is now
being overcome by the construction of
pipe lines from the several fields to
common centers at railroad points
from which the crude oil is carried to
the refineries, and also by pipe lines
direct to some of the refineries.
Demand for petroleum and petro-
leum products due to the war has
grown to enormous proportions, and to
meet this demand the development Of
the Wyoming oil fields is now on as
also to replace the declining fields OF
the eastern states.
There is a veritable stampede to the
Wyoming oil fields. Every day this
year there has been a company formed
and articles of Incorporation filed with
the secretary of state to aid in the
development of the hidden wealth in
this great sea of oil.
From eight of the fields In which
are situated the larger number of pro.
ducing wells there is a daily produc.
tion of $1,000 barrels, with a value at
the well of $34,1OO.
The output of the Wyoming oil
fields this year would give every in
habitunt of the United States five gal
Ions of petroleum. Were this output
placed i'll barrels, and the barrels laid
end to end, they would extend a dis
lance of G,240 miles, or a track of bar
rels eighteen times across the state.
Divided among the people of the state,
it would give each individual SO bar
rels, or 2,730 gallons of oil.

Just Like Handling Gold

Thomas son remarked with a pleased smile. That isn't all that makes MT. Thomasson smile tho. He has something else that is just about as good as gold this year, and that is from thirty to forty acres of spuds already planted. MT. Thomas son will get in over 80 acres to crops this season, on his home stead. About 60 acres of this is old ground and the remain der is new ground that he has prepared this spring by dint of hard labor and long hours. We'd smile too, if we had 80 acres of land like MT. Thomas sons, planted to potatoes and other valuable crops this year.
