RUSH FOR OIL LANDS
HAS BEGUN ALREADY
WYOMING OIL FIELDS GUARDED
BY ARMED MEN TO PREVENT
CLAIM JUMPING

CASPER, Wyo.-(By A. P.)-Armed
guards last night patrolled the oil
fields of Salt Creek field, which is
said to be the richest oil region in the
Rocky Mountain states, to prevent
claim jumping the first night after the
signing of the oil land leasing bill,
signed yesterday by President Wilson
after a fight of 10 years in congress
for its passage.
Leases Not Available Yet.
WASHINGTON.-( A. P.)-Leases
of great value on proven oil lands are
not available by mere filing of ap-
plication, Secretary of the Interior
Lane said today in a statement ex-
planning the oil land leasing bill.
Proven government oil lands are
largely covered by claims requiring
adjustment before the lands may be
leased, he said.

Missouri Penitentiary Pays.

The earnings of the Missouri peni-
tentiary for the past month foot up a
total of S80,36025 and there is a bal
ance to the credit of the institution
of $32, 2,594.16, says Mosby's Missouri
Message. Three years ago it was
predicted when Governor Gardner in
sisted that the contract system of
working prisoners should be abolish
ed and stay abolished, that the pris-
on would soon be head over heals in
debt and the convicts, for the most
part, would be idle. There are, no
idle convicts who are able to work,
and the prison has not only sustain
ed itself, but has cash balance and
'has purchased two large farms to be
utilized by convict labor and will
soon purchase third farm compris-
ing more than 440 acres.

seed and said it was fortunate the
entire state was well represented.
B. S. Sheehan of Boise, state pure
seed commissioner, said that it was
now well known fact that Idaho soil
produced the highest and purest
grades of seeds; that no state in the
union has greater possibilities for
seed production.
The time allotted for discussion was
SO limited that no further talks were
possible, but the visitors would not
leave until they had given rising
vote of thanks to the Washburn &
Wilson Seed company, and many of
the visitors will take time, before
leaving Moscow, to visit the warehouse
and see how the local plant selects,
grades and tests all seeds.

Short Skirts and Low Necks.

The dress reformerS will have to
find some other platform than ill
health upon which to stage their at
tack on modern feminine attire. The
world is full of fine, strong, healthy
girls in short skirts and low necks.
If the morals of the world can't stand
the low necks and the short skirts, it
is the morals of the world which are
unhealthy; the girls are all to the
good.-Baker (Oregon) Herald.

Thanksgiving Reminiscence.

With gladness reigning in our
hearts, we commemorate today the
joyous occasion of Thanksgiving With
what fleetness of time have the inter
vening twelve months elapsed. 1t
seems but scarcely yesterday since we
gathered round the festive board to
partake of the viands which nature
had so amply provided for our refresh
ment as well as sustenance. Let US
also recall to mind how in those days
our sympathy went out in gentle COM
miseration across the worried waters
where dwell the poor unfortunate peo-
pie of Poland, as well as the poverty
stricken children of the Jews. Many
there were indeed who availed them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded
in rendering material aid to their re-
lief, and in return have experienced
innumerable benefits derived from a
Christian act that never goes unre-
warded. Through the noble generos-
