FEED SHORTAGE
LOOKS THREATENING

The feed situation in Bear Lake
County at the present time is quite
discouraging, and from many parts
of the county comes reports Of a seri-
our scarcity of feed for livestock.
Many farmers have resorted to feed
ing corn almost entirely in MANY in
stances. Livestock men are praying
for a change in the weather. A much
longer seige of the present weather,
1t is believed, will be disastrous, and
heavy losses may result unless the
range feed is given chance to grow
and relieve the situation. Two weeks
of good, warm weather, it is thought,
will save the situation as far as Bear
Lake county is concerned.
Reports from Star Valley are dis
heartening Livestock in that pros
porous section of western Wyoming
are suffering for the shortage of feed
and some reports state that killing
of livestock for beef is taking place
there. The reason for the present
feed shortage is attributed to the ex-
tremely dry season last year which
reduced hay production materially,
together with the early winter last
fall, necessitating early feeding Of
hay The late spring is putting the
climax to an already delicate condi-
tion, and the results will be keenly
felt by everyone in this section of the
state unless conditions soon change.

THE FIRE PRINCE. .
 HIGH SCHOOL OPERA
 TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT

Tonight is the night when the big two-act operetta. "The Fire Prince will be presented by the Phoenix high school glee club in the high school au : uitor1um. The entertainment. which will start at S:15 o'clock, will be a beautiful and lively affair, well worth seeing. Seats may be reserved at inc nlgh school today or at the door this evening.
 The scene of the first act of s.The Fire Prince is laid in the garden of the summer palace of Grognio. king of Pantouflia. and the second act is in the ballroom of the Spanish embassy. Gifted with a wonderful mind. Prigio. the Fire Prince" eldest son of the king of Pantouflio, was so far above his associates intellectually that he was not only disliked by them, but summed and disregarded even by his father. One of the popular notions which he did not believe in was that of fairies. Nor did he believe in the bragging, boasting, raging roasting, t1Srid, toasting F'iredrake,'' which, ac- cording to the kings wise men, was causing the terrible heat scourge then devastating the land. Because of these strange ideas of the Fire Prince, his two younger brothers meet a terrible death and so he was disinherited by his father. The way in which Prigio atoned for his mistakes and once more won favor Tn the eyes or his father and the people of his court is a story full of strange and unexpected happenings and laugh provoking moments
 The music of the operetta is writ ten by Henry Hadley and is one of the biggest and most enjoyable features of the show. At no time during the performance do things begin to lag or interest slacken. for from beginning to end there is variety and pep to the program.
