WOMAN is LISTED
AMONG WYOMING BUILDERS
Enviable Record Established by Mrs. l..
C. Harnsberger, Candidate for
State Supt. of Schools.

In every new state there are always
time and energy to bringing into devel-
opmgnt and productiveness of wealth
the u~ndevaloped resources.
Many times these pioneers in the
making of a great state go unrecogniz-
ed. unhonored and unsung, while in
truth they should be the most honored
ones in the state. &,
Wyoming has many pioneers who
have labored hard n faithfully,
spent their time and their money Law
ishly, and have builded the great fab
ric of our commonwealth carefully and
with due regard to h making of it a
fit place for the latter day corners to
live. do business and make money.
Among those pioneers. not n has
labored more con%scientiously, has Civ
en- more freely of money and ability,
has always had the best interests of the
state and the people in it and yet to
live in it, than has Mrs. Lenora G.
! Harnsberger of Lander, candidate for
Superintendent of Public Instruction of
Wyoming.
That she is responsible for the devel-
opment of the oil industry on the In
dian reservation in Fremont county
cannot be gainsaid by anyone. She was
first in the field, and it was her I'M
bounded faith and indomitable courage
that brought he first production in
that field, which now ranks as II of
| tlp big producers of the state.
Not only is h responsible for n
great material development of the oil
industry, but many farmers ranch
men in the Fremont county valleys,
who are now prosperous n produc-
ing large crops to help win the war, are
there because of her.
Mrs. Harnsberger is a widow, her
oldest son. George Harnsberger, now be-
ing in France and is a captain in the
14Sth field artillery, 41st division, the
Sunset division, which has just covered
itself with glory in the second battle
of the Marine.
She was one of the speakers last
February before the Public Lands Com
mittee of Congress, in reference to the
oil leasing bill, inc it was the common
thought that hers vas the most effec-
tive talk made there. This is a great
tribute, for there We're many high
grade lawyers and business men who
addressed that committee.
\ correct earmark of his remark
able woman came nut during her talk.
Something was then said about her
having n son in France, when a member
of the committee asked her if she had
a boy in the war, quick as "A flash she
squared around to her questioner and
said: Yes. and / wouldn't own him
if he wasn't 1t was a true picture of
this woman. She is an American of the
truest type-the type that made recruit
ing easy-the type that will back the
Germans to Berlin in defeat and dis
aSter.
