fame of Wyoming's oil fields is rapid

With the more important opera
tons being conducted in the Big
Muddy and Salt Creek fields, near
here, Casper is the whirlwind centre
of dealings in hundreds of newly
formed development companies. 1t is
estimated that the population of this
erstwhile sleepy sheep market city
has increased nearly so per cent in
the last ten months, going from about
5000 inhabitants to nearly $4,000.
Apartment houses and hotels fail to
provide accommodations for the new
corners, and building construction is
going forward at rapid pace.
Business enterprises of various
kinds are springing up overnight and
the entire community is enjoying
boom conditions that followed in the

lubricant in the Beaumont (Texas)

ships with less strain if we trained our boys
right here in America and hauled food and sup
plies to them railroads insteads of in ships
If our allies have shot their bot-if they have
run out of seasoned soldiers-if England has
sent to France all her soldiers who are fit to fight
If France and Italy have used up their availa-
BILE reserves-why, then, perhaps, the need Of
our soldiers on the western front is urgent.
But if England still has several million fit re-
serves-if France has one million and Italy two
million-then war economy in the common allied
cause would suggest that we feed, train, season,
supply and otherwise care for our own soldiers
here in America until they are actually needed
abroad
Japan has a trained and seasoned army Of
over two million. And though she was one of the
original entente allies she has rsked neither
ships nor men. Couldn't Japan rush at least
million of her fit fighters to the front to stand the
PIussians off while we seasoning our men?
Our government can easily get the facts about
how many fit reserves our allies have.
Wouldn't it help us to determine whether it is
really urgent or actually necessary that we rush
a conscript army past U-boat danger to the bat
tefields of Europe?
Haven't the people right to know just what
the purpose of THEIR government u.s. in the mat
ter of using cOnScripted American manhood?
If it is the purpose to send million soldiers to
Europe within year, what sane objection can
there be to telling the American people al about
it? The people won't demand to know just when
the soldiers SAIL on what boats or from what
ports. They won't ask for information that
would jeopardize their ships or soldiers
But they have right to know what THEIR
government intends to do with both their dollars
and their boys, in our part of the prosecution of
his war for democracy.
Won't it be better for our people, our govern
ment, our democracy, our allies and the world
democracy for which we strive, if the people are

THEIR government is doing and intends to do9

BASHFUL MAN.
A.-When such a bashful man
makes an effort to talk to q girl
she will naturally infer that he
likes her, for IL he did not adj
miro her and wish to continue
the acquaintance he would ig-
more her. First, make sure that
you are properly introduced by
some mutual acquaintance. Be-
gin talking about the work In
which you are both interested.
Soon you will find other subjects
of interest. Then you can ask
her to let you call at her home to
take her to an entertainment. II
the acquaintance progresses as
far as this you will have no fur
ther trouble.
"a girl living on our
street comes to visit me as
formally as tho we lived
miles apart. But what wor-
ries me is that l have found
out she does not come to see
me but my brother, for
whenever it is necessary for
me to leave the house for an
errand she will not go with
me, but stays with him. He

nothing to help me. / real
ly feel | must stop this, for
the girl is nice otherwise.

A.-Unless the girl has reIa-
tive who is wise to the situation
there is little hope TO check the
visits without causing a breach
OF friendship. You might return
her visits with such promptness
that their number would be de-
creased. But, after all, IL il pos
sible you are magnifying the
harm I'm her visits. Perhaps IL
you stop worrying about it the
whole matter will adjust itself
satisfactorily.
