MIDWEST co. AT ROCK RIVER.
Much Speculation Regarding Object OF
Refining Company in Purchasing
35 Acres at That Point.

Announcement that the Midwest OH
& Refining Company has purchased So
acres of and at Rock River, has ere
ated a stir in local oil circles. Just
what the Midwest people propose to do
with this land. which is located on the
railroad. is the subject of much specu-
lation. Reports have it that the sale
was quietly negotiated and no n knew
what was going on until the deal was
closed.
With work on the pipe line from
Fort Steele to the Lost Soldier field
under way, it is believed that the Mid
west win build either a refinery, a tank
farm, or both, on this land. Unless n
huge refinery is going in, local experts
assert that this is too much land for u
refinery, hut all concede that it is about
right for n large tank farm.-Cheyennc

OLD RESIDENT CALLED
Mrs. Mary E. CIuff Died Suddenly at
Home in Saratoga Last Thursday.
Death Was Due to Influenza.

Just after The Sun had gone to press
Mary f. Cluff had been found dead at
her home ON the east side of the river.
Neighbors calling at the home during
the day had been unable to rouse her,
N telephone calls were unanswered,
so her son, Chef, was notified at the
ranch that something was evidently
wrong Inc he came in to investigate.
The lady was found dead in her bed,
the indications being that she had re-
tired as usual and been taken ill some
time during the night. An oil lamp
found burning at her bedside gave evil
dence that she had been up after mid
night, when the electric lights are turn
ed off.
Mrs. Cuff had attended the Rebekah
lodge session Wednesday night and had
gone home at about 10 80, apparently
in her usual good health. That her
death was caused by influenza is the
opinion of the physician, as well as the
undertaken, as blood and other condi-
lions were found to be identical with
those of other influenza victims, al
though in her case the disease had as
sumed a more virulent form.
Mrs. Cluff had been n resident of Sar-
atoga for about 26 years, and probably
no person in the valley enjoyed a wider
acquaintance. She was 5S years of
ago, and a native of Missouri. Her
husband, John w. Cluff, was for many
years one of the prominent business
men of Saratoga, and passed away on
March II, 1914, in a hospital in Dem
yer. Two sons were borB TO them.
Chef. L., who resides on n ranch on
Spring Creek, and Ezra, who died in
New Mexico three years ago. The son
here is the only surviving relative with
the exception of two of Mrs. Cuffs
brothers, whose whereabouts are not
known. & sister and niece of Mr.. Cluff
reside in Cheyenne.
Deceased was "A prominent, member
of the local Rebekah lodge and had nj
ways taken u prominent part in lodge
and social affairs OF the town, as well
as in Red Cross and other charitable
work. She was sknown to all as "A
woman of culture and refinement, and
had proven herself of heroic mould. in
bravely meeting the stern requirements
n often the disappointments of life.
The funeral was held on Saturday
afternoon and interment was in the To-
cal cemetery beside the body OF her
husband, the services being in charge
of the Rebekahs.

CATTLE PLAGUE is EXPECTED.
Foot and Mouth Disease Now Preyaleni
in England and Government is
Watching American Ports.

Cabled reports of an outbreak of foot
and-mouth disease among the cattle in
England have caused the authorities in
Washington to send a danger warning
to all veterinarians and others having
to do with the handling of live stock in
the United States. There has not been
a case of the disease reported in this
country since 1916, but such informa-
ton as has come out of continental
Europe has indicated prevalence of the
disease in the central empires and also
in parts of Russia.

TRAINING FOR SOCIAL
WORK IS Being OF.
FERED THIS YEAR
A Real Kentucky Course in Social
Welfare Work WIN Be offered by
the University of. Louisville.

Young men and women Of Kentucky,
this year for the first time in the his
tory of the State, will have an op-
portunity for special training in the
new professional of social work, thru
the course in Applied Sociology just
established in the University of Louis
vile, and scheduled to open Wednes-
day, September 10.
The demand for trained workers in
Red Cross Service work, public health
nursing, playground work, commun-
ity recreation, probation and Associat-
ed Charities work far exceeds the sup
ply. Not only would young Kentucky
people, trained in this school, have
positions open to them in this state,
but other states, particularly through
out the South, will look to this new
training course for social workers
south of the Ohio and west of the AL
leghenies, excepting a small school
of Dallas, Texas.
This training course will be a real
Kentucky course, not a formal sched-
ule brought in from outside. 1t will
include training in Kentucky's rural
problems and in the organization of
small communities, with actual prac-
tice work in the country districts and
small towns; as well as training in
all the other branches of social work.
The head of the course, DR.. N ]. Ware,
has wide teaching and social exper-
fence land, incidentally, was a lieu
tenant in the famous Canadian regi-
ment, the Princess Pats, during the
world war;; and he will be assisted
by lecturers experienced in all of
Kentucky's welfare problems.
Students, who have graduated from
high school, may take the full four
year course in the University of Lou
isville, graduating with the degree of
Bachelor of Social Science. On the
other hand, people who do not want
this degree, may take the special
courses in various kinds of social
training and receive certificates of the
ground they have covered.
More than that, the Kentucky Con-
ference of Social Work, which has a
relationship to this training
course, will conduct registry Of po-
sitions open in social service through
out the state, so that students who
have secured special training may 60
into suitable work with the least pos
sible loss of time and expense. Social
service positions at from SIS to $125
a month and over are going begging
because of lack of people to fill them;
students taking this course would be
in line for them.
Young people interested in going
into social work in professional way
and wanting additional training are
invited to correspond with DR.. John
L. Patterson, dean, University Of Lou
isville, 119 West Broadway, Louisville,
KY.
