TO speak with enthusiasm about IT.

recent return from abroad. This is
the American Expedi,ionary force Uni-
versity. There never has been anything
like this I'm the world.
AT Beaumc. France, they have set
up university. The buildings were
originally put up for Base Hospital
and tho war came TO an cnd before
they had been occupied. The unlVer-
siiy was, therefore, established at this
place. There are over nine thousand
students there. and there are eleven de-

a school Of agriculture, divinity
school. a school of law. a school OF
medicine, a college OF arts, a college OF
sciences. school OF dentistry. ] cam

cally any subject that man wants to
know can be taken up at the univer-
siiy. They have gotten The teachers In

SOLDIER BOYS ARRIVING HOME.
Several Who Were i'm Service Overseas
Have Reached Home Within
The Past Few Days.

Among the Platte Valley boys arriv-
ing home the past week are William
McPhail Jr., Kenneth Dukes and Ar
thur Kincaid, all of Saratoga, and
Wilbur G. Toothaker of Beaver creek.
all of whom have spent the past year
or more in the military service in
France. All were demol cd at Fort
ID. A. Russell.
In honor of these boys, as well as
the many others who had previously
returned from the training camps and
overseas, the local Red Cross will give
a welcome dance and supper in Sara
toga tomorrow night and all the boys
of the valley are especially invited to
be present and to come in uniform.
The general public is also urged to at
tend and help to make this occasion a
pleasant and memorable one for the
returned soldiers.

MUNICIPALITY FACING DEFICIT.
Attorney General Holds That Law
Concerning Collection of Taxes
by Cities is Imperative.

NO authority is given n city of
making a separate assessment and col
lecting its own taxes, under the law
passed by the last legislature" is the
opinion expressed by Attorney General
w. l.. Walls. which means hat ordi-
nances recently passed by many Wyo-
ming cities and towns authorizing n
separate assessment and empowering
city treasurers to collect municipal
taxes are absolutely void because of
the law passed by the last legislature
being imperative, hence city taxes
must be paid the same as last year, to
the county treasurer.
The local council dill not attempt to
authorize a separate assessment, but
many cities and towns of the state
have taken such action. which is now
without force and effect, and practic-
ally every town in the state is facing
a deficit at the end of the current year
because of lack of a source of suffi-
cient revenue.
The assessment of all property in the
state at its full value would solve the
problem, and this is what the state
board of tax commissioners is at
tempting to do. But this board was
appointed only n short time ago and
will find it impossible to equalize the
assessments before next year. This
means that the new method of valua-
ton will not affect the taxes until 8
In the meantime, for about a year and

VIII Entertain Soldier Boys.

The ladies of Saratoga Branch A.
II. c.. are preparing to entertain all
the Platte Valley soldier boys at IA
public dance and supper to be given
tomorrow (Friday) evening at the
Jensen hall. and all the boys are re-
quested to come in full uniform.
They will be the guests of the local
branch, while the general public will
be charged the usual prices for dancing
and the supper. Music will be fur
nished by Stems orchestra. There
are nearly fifty of the boys who have
returned to the Platte valley from the
military service in foreign lands or
from various training camps, and the
ladies are hoping that every enc of
them will be present.

EARLY o FOR BIG CROP.
Demonstrations Have Shown That the
Breaking of Ground i'm July
Adds. to Wheat Yield.

Pillow early and produce a larger
crop. Agriculturists have made a
great many experiments to determine
the best method of increasing the crops
in The northwestern states, and one of
the most important is the demonstra-
-tion of the value of working the soil
early.
In growing wheat it is found that
blowing seven inches deep on July Ii
has given the highest average of any
method. by nearly six bushels to the
acre. In the experiments, the average
yield per acre has been four bushels
more on early blowing than on late
blowing, while in some cases the diff
ference in favor of early blowing is
nearly six bushels per acre.
Quite often it is not practicable to
pillow in July. as this is about the
busiest time of the year for the farm
er, and it is then so hot that it puts an
extra strain on horses. When it is
not possible to pillow early, say about
July 10, practically the same results
may be obtained by disking the land
Immediately after harvest, as if the
land had been plowed early. Then the
land should be plowed when the farm
err car get the necessary time.

U. S. TO ROUND UP DEsERTERs
Descriptions Of Deserters vii Be Fur
nisIied to All Federal and State
Officers Reward Offered.

The government is about to start a
great roundup of draft deserters, who
are to be tried and punished as fast as
apprehended.
Final separation of the sheep from
the goats among those delinquents who
having failed to report at camps in
answer to their calls under the draft.
have been automatically classed as de-
s~erters. will be completed by the pro-
vost marshal generals office within
the mex three weeks and the result
reported to the adjutant general.
So careful have been the officers in
charge to avoid injustice that after
painstaking investigation in each case
the delinquents have been classified
under fifteen different headings.
In the cases of all men falling with
in fourteen of these classes the report
will be accompanied by a recommen-
dation that the charge of desertion be
cancelled. The fifteenth will be the
real list of deserters, the men whose
names appear upon it being those for
whom no reason or excuse has been
presented or discovered.
Included in the fourteen classes of
ed that the charge of desertion be re-
moved are men who, after the first
registration in June and before Dec.
10, 1917, enlisted in any branch of the
United States army, navy. marine
corps, or in the service of the United
States branch unknown - those who
enlisted in any allied army men tech
nically indicted through error: men
who reported and were sent to camp
after "desertion - or who were induct-
ed and later found to be entitled to
Reconsideration; those found to be
physically disqualified and discharged
by camp commanders; men who were
in process of induction into the SER
vice at the time the armistice was
signed, and men who, after having
been reported as deserters had pre-
scented themselves to their local
boards and whose cases had not been
completed when the armistice was
signed alien enemies. and men who
have died since the charge was enter
ed against their names.
The real deserters'' on the fifteenth
list will be reported &c the adjutant
general and their names and descrip-
tions will be furnished to state and
federal officers, who may arrest them
when found, without warrant. A re-
ward of $50 is payable for the appre-
hension and delivery to military con
troy of each draft deserter physically
qualified for army service and whose
offense is found to have been willful.

been urging early classification of the
land.
The total area of land designated is
approximately 100000 acres. OF
this amount, almost 100000 acres
are in Wyoming, hence the largest
acreage of land designated as open to
entry under the 64O-acre act is in this
state.
Delegations from other states who
have also been urging action are wish
ing that their states might have the
same good fortune that Wyoming has
had. The total acreage designated is
included in approximately 1900 home
stead entries.
There are, of course, a great many
applications still pending. These Sen

Sisson Appointed Deputy Warden

Geo. w. Sisson of Saratoga received
office Of State Game Warden W. II.
Judkins of Lander, notifying him OF
his appointment as deputy game war
den for this district.
The appointment of Mr.. SissOn will
undoubtedly meet with the approval of
all residents of the valley. as he is ex-
~ceptionally well acquainted with game
and fishing conditions in these parts
and is in every way well qualified for
the position.
