|. Mr.. and Mrs. C. NJ. Dominy and
family of Hastings, Nebraska, met
with an auto accident Thursday af-
ternoon east Of town on the D. l.. d.

were injured and their car badly
wrecked.
As the car was approaching town
and within three miles of the city
limits, it suddenly struck a stretch

passed another car. This change in
road conditions caused the steering
rod to snap in two, upsetting the
Ford sedan, iniuring three of the oc-
cupants.

for medical attention. One small
son and grown son sustained num-

She was taken to the hospital, where
up to a late hour Thursday evening
she had not regained consciousness
Fears We're entertained that she had
sustained fracture of the skull

DON'T KICK YOUR TOWN

There is no better evidence of a

that of loyalty to a town in which
n person lives.

worth defending ami supporting in

of the world.
Yet in almost every community y";

They cannot recognize the fact

and fed them, and cared for them III

They magnify its imperfections and

They often make life miserable for
others and invariably reproach to
themselves.

The abuse these short sighted peo-
pie heap upon their place of abode
generally falls upon unsympathetic
ears. 70
Their neighbors and friends know
them as they areas people who
might have been valuable citizens,
capable of constructive work, but
whose dispositions have been warped
in younger days, possibly through no
particular fault of their own.
Their criticisms are listened to
with good natured patience, but are

The views of the chronic kicker

WHEN WISE MEN ARE FOOLISH

WHEN WISE MEN ARE FOOLISH
We Americans have peculiar
fault.
There are times when we permit
our wisdom to degenerate into fool
ishness.
For five years we have been too
busy with prosperity to provide
against the adversity the morrow
may bring.
Millions of people today are receiv-
ing high wages who before the war
had difficulty in earning three
good meals day for themselves
and families.
2 Some are wise and steadfastly re-
fused to be stampeded. They adopt
ed n policy of systematic saving
and today are living comfortably
ana have bank books laid AWAY.
Others, normally keen of Intellect,
succwnb to the shock of sudden
prosperity and started the pace.
They are still hitting the high spots.
When work became plentiful and
wages scared into the clouds, the
wise course would have been to lay
aside the surplus and accumulate n
good large bank account. In time
they would have been in comfortable
circumstances and receiving an in

Probably never in the history Of
the Republican party in Colorado
have all those who believe in the
principles of that party been so thor
oughly in harmony. There is no de-
Election from Republican ranks this
year. What differences may have
cropped out in the past have been
forgotten, because all recognize the
necessity of returning this nation to
the rule of the people, rather than
to the dictates of one man, governed
in his demands by certain classes.
The problems of the war are big.
They must be met. History has dem
onstrated the Republican party is the
party to meet them squarely and cor
rectly. Thousands of oldtime Demo-
Gratis in Colorado are even going so
far as to say they see no hopes of
this country getting back to sanity
and where men want to work, will
work and work their best, under n
Democratic administration that gives
more time to catering to clamor than
to ascertaining the real desires of the

BECAUSE OF This PRETTY WOMAN
FOUR MEN HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES

Kan, on July IS, was famous ASIA
Iariat thrower. He had appeared in
many cities thruout the county, for he
was chief of the cowboys with the 10d
Ranch Wild West show.
Mrs Wilson, now in the county
Jail at Winfield, is q pretty, dark
haired woman with Indian blood in
her veins, it is said. She is accused
of shooting Wilson during a quarrel
over which of them was to drive their
automobile while they were returning
to Winfield from a cattle buying trip.
Two men who were in the car have
testified to this.
Wilson was the fourth man to meet
d violent death while closely associ-
ated with Mrs. Wilson. Charles West,
her first husband, was-shot and killed
from ambush near Tahlequah. capital
of Cherokee nation, about six-years
ago. Next, Frank Anthony. foreman
of Mrs. Wilson's ranch at Tahlequah,
was shot by Wilson. who RETURNING
from the war. declared his wife COM
planned to him that young Anthony
had insulted her. Almost at the same
moment, Wilson killed William An
thony. Franks father, as he reached
for the pistol his son, had dropped.

Pack, president Of the American

graduated the American people on
the fact that the next president will
be the publisher of a newspaper.
We are particularly fortunate"
said Mr. Pack, lin that the next presi-
dent will be a man who doubtless has
been hard pushed to keep going the
business by which he makes a liveh
hood, that of publishing a newspaper,
because of he mounting cost of pulp
wood and as a result the increased
cost of print paper. Neither Mr..
Harding nor Mr. Cox must be con-
VeTted to the need of a national forest
policy. Here is something they surely
agree upon. If the winner will take
active steps toward formulating a ma
tional forest policy he is assured of
a place in the Hall of Fame"

nagging process carried on for a wear
and a half in the senate" are to be
made the chief manifestations by the
Republican nominees of their fitness
for office.

out -'inducement or coercion from DO.

night combinations nor plutocratic
cabals were instrumental in making
MIN the party's choice.

tending this nomination. came to YOU
said Robinson, because your position
respecting campaign issues is known
to be in harmony with the platform
adopted, and because the record of
your public service emonstrates rare
leadership"
SCOTS at Front Porch.
He scoffed at Harding's plan for a
front porch campaign and said:
1t is not expected that you will
conduct front porch campaign. 1t is
not believed that you wilr await for
the American people to come to YOU
to hear your message, but that you
viii cheerfully carry it to them, conf
dent of their approval of the cause you
represent"
Robinson declared that mo mere
speechmaker, however pleasing in
personality, can meet the test which
the public will require of the next
president; no reactionary, no man who
races backward or who follows a lead
ership blind to the great problems of
the new era can successfully discharge
the duties of pressure the period of
reconstruction. The country calls for
an experienced and progressive mind
ed leader"
Robinson paid tribute to Cox's rec
ord as governor of Ohio, enumerating
progressive laws enacted during his
administration as evidence of his fit
ness for national leadership. Cox's
position on woman suffrage, child well
fare, labor questions, the budget sys-
tenn and other issues squares exactly
with the declarations of the Demo-
cratic platform on them, Robinson
said.

What is believed to be the first

forest fire, was made in the federal
court at Great Falls during the past
term when Fred Marquardt vas fined
500 for his offense.
He was charged with leaving a
fire built to burn brush and the sub

the Flathead forest and totalled a
cost of $1,000 to the government be-
fore it was extinguished.
A. H. Abbott of the Helena forest
said that the practice of letting Of
tenders of this sort off with a nomi-
nal fine was growing more and more
into the discard with the authorities
and that when the seriousness of the
offense warranted it, the defendants
would get the full letter of the law
if the forest authorities had anything
to say about it.
A report was received several weeks
ago of a fire left burning near Hau-
