Giving
By Mary CAROLYN Davies

by Mary Carolyn Davies
Just money! That is all we're
asked to give.
He gave his life, Jim. He'd
have liked to live
For Betty-bless her shy young
heart-had only
The week before he left, put on
his ring.
How long her life will be for
her, how lonely
With nothing of him but re-
membering!
She never flinched, nor he, my
son they gave;
She working still and Jimmie in
his grave.
And now today we're asked
again to save,
And give, give, give the. .coun-
try what we've sweat
And toiled to earn. It's hard
to all-and yet,
We safe, we calm, we fortunate,
we living,
| wonder, dare we, dare we call
this giving?

EUROPE'S BIG HERDS GONE.
World War Wastes Europe's Meat Sup
ply American Stock Growers
Must Give Cooperation.

* ID probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a
great extent to America for Its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
WIS demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations %
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres Of
grass lands have by compulsory meas.
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
'S17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
$17.2S; November and December,
S1e.0s, and for January, $14.40. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According TO official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
a total of 12.341 300 as compared with
14,S07,0 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only n gallon Of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our hocks and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years 1t has been a prac-
hce among many Of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at
birth II In many instances the fe-
males II not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense OF
maturing them into veal. The high
prices Of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is rs per cent. of
calves killed for zeal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard ave been as essential to success
In war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have beer very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
Sential an increased pork production
In this nation. In Italy grain is now

HON. NJ. b. CAMPLIN OF SHERIDAN ANNOUNCES HIS CANDI
DACY FOR GOVERNORSHIP.

To the Republican Voters of Wyoming:
1 beg to announce that / IN "A candidate for the nomination for

I stand squareLy IN the Republican National Platform, and adhere
strictly to the resolutions adopted by the Republican State Central Com
miuee of Wyoming, February is, 1918, and favor the Prohibition Amend

1 have resided in Wyoming for thirtytwo years; a m a member of

is under age. Three Of them hold Union Labor cards.
1 am supporting the president during this war.
Honest differences exist, however, between the two great political
parties. 1t is well that this should be so, for it is the right and privilege
of the people, and the principle upon which our Government is founded,
and our institutions flourish. We hold that the principles and policies
of the great Republican Party are the best for the American people.
My long residence, association with the people, and many years Of
observation, and experience in the practice of law, qualities me, 1 think,
to judge Of conditions which obtain, and the wants and needs of the
people. Certain laws exist which are undoubtedly inimical to the ad-
vancement of the state Remedial. legislation is badly needed, and
which, If secured, is sure to settle up and develop unsettled and unde-
veloped lands, which are ow practically dead lands, increase om wealth,
