He Ought To Get Out.

When II finds he is out of sym
pathy with his town, and can only say
a good word for it coupled with an
apology, he ought to get out. Many
people fall into a sort of unconscious
habit of growing. But it's a miser-
able habit. Such people make of them
selves a dead weight, while, of course,
they imagine themselves particularly
independent. The individual has
about all he "A do to get along under
his w loads, and he want help and
encouragement from those going his
way, and who are Unidentified with
him in interest. So with the town.
1t has its interest to care for, and it
needs all the pluck. all the energy, all
the cooperation and ~helpfulness its
citizens can provide and bring 70 pear.

CARBON co. ROAD CONTRACTS
Continued from First Page

Engineers have long realized the
of rights-of-way of sufficient
width not only to permit economical
construction but to provide proper
drainage. The general public now rec
ognizes the Importance of having roads
properly located, regardless of the fact
that the location may pass through
valuable land, and requiring an eighty
oot right-of-way.
Recently, on the Highway Depart
ment's project extending from Lowell
to Cowley, in Big Horn county, it was
necessary to locate this road through
some of the best lane in that section.
The owners along that road for the en-
tire distance not only co-operated with
the department in every way. but gave
ten feet additional width for the right
of-way on each side Of the proposed
road and agreed to move their fences at
their own expense.

Flu" Germ is Still a Mys-
terry, Says Noted Physician.

DIR. Royal s. Copeland, health com
missioner of New York, in a recent
statement. asserts that the causes of
tbe influenza remain as completely
shrouded in mystery as ever. He said
81 look for u recurrence of influenza
next winter, but it will be much milder
than this time. The great fact remains
that with all the experience gained in
fiuenza is still IA mystery. The germ
never has been located. In this depart
ment we are conducting research work
in our laboratories, but it is impossible
10 forecast what the result of that work
win be.
This epidemic also knocked out
some of the p~reconceived ideas on the
subject. For instance, / had main
tanned that those who were attacked
in the 1913 epidemic would be practi-
cally immune this time. Other physi-
clans held the same theory. We now
know that those who were victims of
the disease i'll 1913 were not immune
this time. Again, l hold hat the use of
serums as a preventive measure is
practically worthless"

GIVE PEOPLE THE TRUTH.
(By Wright A. Patterson.)

In its ISSUE of February II the Sat
urday Evening Post nounc an in
creas in subscription rates .'to sub
scribers west of the Mississippi river
to $3.50 a year, while east of the Mis-
sissippi the price is to remain at 81 a
year.
This increase is based in the in
creased postage cost under the zone
system, and provides that the subscrib-
er living west of the Mississippi must
pay for the longer haul on his reading
matter"
The publishers of the Pos, express
their regret that they are compelled
to make n higher rate to one class of
subscribers than to another class sim
ply because they live in a different
part of the country but they say they
have no alternative so long as the pos
tai laws impose zone rates on second
class matter.

A WORLD.

A little more praise and a little less blame,
A little more virtue, a little less shame,
A little more thought for the other mans rights,
a little less self in our chase for delights,
A little more loving, a little less hate,
Are all that is needed to make the world great.
A little more boosting, a little less jeering,
A little more trusting, a little less fearing,
A little more patience in trouble and pain,
A little less willing at times to complain,
A little more kindness worked into the strife,
Are all that is needed to glorify life.
A little more honor, a little less greed,
A little more service, a little less creed,
A little more courage when pathways are rough,
A little more action, a little less bluff,
A little more kindness by you and by me,
And, oh, what a wonderful world it would be.

woman sheriff Of the southwest was
created recently. Mrs. William Gates
took the oath OF office as sheriff of

There will be no bootlegging or
%moonshinins in these parts" Mrs

Of her platform. and to prove that. she
meant what she said. she seized three
stills within a week after she assumed
office.
Mrs. Gates succeeded her husband,
who while on his death-bed summon
ed the three commissioners of Ste
phens county and asked them to elect
his wife to the Office. They promised
that they do so. and that is why Mrs.
Gates became the first woman sheriff
OF the southwest.
Mrs. Gates, despite the fact that
she has accepted the responsibilities
OF the sherif's office in A county near
the oil fields where there is an in
clination to disregard laws. is fem.

THE KING CLIMBS THE CORN STALK.

While Tinker Bob was climbing to
the roof Of the palace, the corn stalk
and grew till the leaves shaded
the whole roof and the top was far
above the roof. He could not see the
nest that Red Ant had told about be-
cause it was too far away from him.
There was only n thing to do, and
where the nest was.
that grew and grew till it was tho
largest stalk in The world, but he had
never heard about such a large corn
stalk as this one was. He caught
hold Of the stalk and started to climb.
and before he could get a good start
the stalk grew and lifted him far
above the roof Of the palace.
He climbed and climbed but all the
time the stalk grew faster than he
climbing he became tired, and he saw
that he was losing instead Of gaining.
The stalk was now taller than some
of the great trees Of the Forest.
There was only one thing to do ana
that was to tap the Stone Of Knowl-
edge and call to his assistance the
wonderful Creature of his Desire. He
tapped the Stone and the Beautiful
Creature arrived at once with the big
basket, and Tinker Bob climbed in.
There was no corn stalk that ever
grew that could get ahead OF the
Creature with the wonderful basket.
This was the only way to see the
top of the corn stalk. The tassel had
grown as large as the top Of a tree.
and in the very top was a beautiful
nest, and nearby were two creatures
that he had not seen before this year.
OF course they could not see Tinker
Bob. They were talking something
like this: Sphinx. spank. sphinx, we
surely had a good feast in the rice
answered. Yves, we did. but it nearly
cost me my life for l was caught in
a trap
The other creature acted surprised
to think of such a thing: "spink,
spank, sphinx, I never knew there were
any traps in. the. rice fields"
