To Ex.Service Men

At the present time we are preparing
1921. One more year has passed since
many of US laid the uniform aside. Are
YOU planning to commence this coming
wear without giving thought to the OPP
po-tunites that are yours for the asking
and the duties that you owe to yourself
and yours?
How about yourself and your depend
ents in all the years to come? Are your
savings enough to relieve any financial
embarrassment that might occur in the
case of Sickness or accident to you? Have
you that guaranteed savings protection?
If your physical condition is not good
and the present disability is the result of
your service in the army, navy or the
marines, have you applied to the United
States Public Health Service for medical
treatment and care? If you have dis
ability is the War Risk Bureau paying
you for this handicap? If you have a
vocational handicap and cannot go back
to your former position have you applied
to the Federal Board of Vocational Train
ing for a chance to acquire a new voca-
ton with tuition free and maintained
while doing this?
Read the following statements careful
ly: War Risk Insurance is one of the
most necessary factors in the lives of the
ex-service man, The policies are simply
contracts that contain the best possible
clauses obtainable today. They have all
the best features of the commercial COM
panies at a cost lower than any in the
world 1t is for eX-serViCe and service
men and this class alone. In the case of
reinstatement, all that is necessary is the
payment of two monthly premiums on
the amount that you wish to reinstate or
to reinstate and convert TO regular form
of insurance. viz: Endowment, Limited
Life, Ordinary Life, etc, This is, provid-
ed that not more than eighteen months
have elapsed since discharge or the date
your insurance lapsed. In the latter case
short health certificate or full medical
examination at the applicants expense
is necessary. Even in the latter case the
saving by taking the Government Insur-
ance is such that it many times offsets
the cost of medical examination.
Do not delay your decisions regarding
these things. They affect you and yours
vitality. Look ahead and plan accord

you know?

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Among the various measures which
Congress will find awaiting it's attention
when it reconvenes on December 6. is a
joint resolution introduced by Senator
Smoot, and passed by the Senate, auth
orizing the creation of joint committee
on reorganization of the executive de-
partments. The resolution contemplates
committee of six composed of three
Senators and three Representatives. 1t
will be their duty to make a survey Of
the administrative services of the Gov
eminent, ascertain the extent to which
there is duplication of work or overlapp-
ing of authority, and what redistribution
of activities should be made in order to
secure proper correlation of work and the
largest possible degree of efficiency and
economy. The committee if created is
required to report not later than Decem-

CURTAILMENT.

Lessening of export trade is bringing
about curtailment in many lines of pro-
duction. We read constantly of the
shutting down of mills, factories and in
dustrlal concerns, some temporarily and
some perhaps for long period. but there
are probably more plants that are cur
failing than shutting down. Some are
fndlng the expenses of operating too high
and are e-opening on lesser wage scales
where such are accepted by the workers.
In this connection it must be borne in
mind that in the last few years produce
ton in many industries has been far in
excess of the pre- war output, this being
because of the excessive export trade.
AS the European countries increase their
production our export trade is bound to
diminish and this means that our manu-
featuring plants will gradually reach
back to what was regarded as normal
trade before the war, and this also means
that plants which have been enlarged in
the past few years will reduce operation

DIPHTHERIA DURABLE.

Diphtherla, untreated, is one of our
most dangerous diseases but fortunately
medical science has found specific cure
in antitoxin. This if used early and in
sufficient dosage, will cure the great ma
iority of cases, says the Maine Depart
ment of Health. 1t is for this reason
that a doctor should be called early in
every suspected case Delay in the use
of antitoxen greatly diminishes the
chances of recovery. OF all cases of
diphtheria treated the first day of the
disease, with antitoxn, practically all
recover; of the cases not given the anti
toxin until the second day, about live in
one hundred die; OF cases not given anti
toxin until the third day about twenty
five in one hundred die; while in cases
where it is not used at all about forty in
one hundred die.

CLEARMONT, Wyo.. Aug. 2S.-
Nobody thought there were gray
wolves on Dead Mans Divide, less
than dozen miles from Clea rmont,
in the year 1920. The old frontier
story tellers can thrill your spine
with the stories OF the old days.
but here Is thriller of today, and it
happened just a fortnight ago.
Luther ling was sitting in his
homestead cabin when his herd of
cows and calves grazing but a short
distance away set up great bel.
lowing alarm. ling has a big, black
five-year-old gelding which is a
strong favorite with him. lie has
trained the colt until it will leave
the herd out in the hills and come
to him. His name is "Nigger." and
It fits him well. ling got Niger
and stepped on him for little ride
up to his herd of cows and calves
to see what was wrong and the
closer he got the surer he became
that something unusual was hap
pening. He left his horse and
crawled the last two hundred yards
and this is what he saw:
Fifty head of cows and calves
had been rounded up by mother
gray wolf She had stationed her
eight half-grown pups around the
herd and was circling the herd,
biting at their tails to show her
offspring how to do the trick.
ling had no gun, so he FASTENED
back to Niger. With a rush he
rode into the fray. He neck refined
his horse quickly and sharply. The
bit broke, but Niger knew some
thing was up and went right on
Obeying that pressure on his neck.
After hard. quick run and sure
throw of his rope, ling had one Of
the pups dragging behind his
horse, but he kept right on after
another one. Within hailing dis
lance of the second pup he turned
and rode his horse over the wolf in
the rope and now more than half
dead The horse finished him. The
rider raised the pup to the saddle,
!oosened the rope and let the dead
wolf drop. Then he took up the
chase again with the mother wolf
trailing him, She frothed- at the
mouth and showed her white fangs,
but this didn't bother ling. for he

Then Tom got the news that the

soon had his trusty rope over the
neck of another pup. He killed
this in the same manner as the first
and picked out a third wolf Mig
ger did his best, but he couldn't
make it. He had run himself out
and stood painting and covered with
white foam. The cattleman tied the
dead pups to his saddle and got
back to his cabin at II o'clock that
night.
Luther ling came to Clearmont
bringing the wolf pups he had
killed. He soon had a bunch of men
rounded UP for final hunt. Two
days after the first killing sixteen
hard riders rode the hills along
Dead Mans Divide until they found
the wolf den. They dug the den out
but the old mother gray wolf had
taken her remaining six pups and
made haste for other less danger.
