the inside work of a bank by each and every

thing for a bank to have and these three redui-

bank since its inception.
In the beginning, we selected as a slogan
"a BANK OF STRENGTH AND SERVICE

bank its standing in this community, thus in
surfing for the future a constant effort toward

CHRISTMAS-Why the very mention of it
sets our hearts aglow and recalls to mind many
a happy hour spent in company with friends
both old and new, and prompts the feeling of
goodwill within us.
We opened our doors for business in Cas-

Der rs, our third Christmas, gives us again the
opportunity for sending forth to our friends
and customers our wishes for their happiness
and welfare.
And it is to these same friends and CUSTOM
ers that W. acknowledge a debt of gratitude
for their faith in our bank, its directors and it's
management; a faith that has made possible
the steady growth of the institution through
such times of financial stringency as our coun-
try is undergoing at the present time.
The friendly feeling on the part of its pa

We wish to express our apprecia-
ton to the City Band for contributing
their playing during the evening,
and to Mr.. Lackey for contributing
his services during the dance.
A clever three-act comedy. The
Hoodoo,'' was successfully presented
by the Junior Glass OF the Rawlins
High School at the Strand Theatre
on November 22nd. The play was
a rather unusual n and the fact
that each part required skill in por-
traying character gave each one an
opportunity to star.
All of the members Of the cast
acquitted themselves c~reditably and
are entitled to much communication.
Several OF the parts were long and
rather difficult, but were very well
handled.
Mr.. B%reitenstein favored the audi
ence with several songs between Acts
one and two. Miss Schmidt retained
her reputation as a very graceful
dancer by presenting Danse d'Amour
between Acts two and three.
In spite OF the busy season a good
crowd attended the play and the
Juniors are w~ell-satisfied with the
proceeds netted them by the play.
These proceeds will be used to de-
fray the expenses OF the Junior
Senior banquet which will be given
in the spring.
Much credit should be given to
Mr.. Williams and Mr.. B~reitenstein,
who directed the play and who are
in a large measure responsible for
the success OF it.

Extract from letter of L. S. Com
missioner of Education.)
The National Education AssOria-
ton and the American Legion are
recommending that IAN educational
week be observed in all communities
annually for the purpose of inform
ing the public of the accomplish
mants and needs of the public schools
and to secure the cooperation and
support of the public in meeting these
needs. The joint standing commit
tee for carrying this recommendation
into effect has decided upon the
name "American Education Week"
and upon December 4-1O as the week
to be observed. J. NJ. Gwinn. Superin-
tendent of City Schools at New Or
leans. is chairman of this committee.
The committee has published and
Is distributing a pamphlet OF sugges-
lions for preparing programs for the
week. but wishes the school authori-
ties with the cooperation OF the
local post OF the American Legion.
and of all educational. religious and
fraternal organizations to make their
own arrangements for American
Education Week. using the pamphlet
only as suggestive in preparing the
program.
1t Is expected that the President
Of the United States, the Governors
Of all the States, and the Mayors of
all cities will issue proclamations
designating the week OF December A.
10 as American Education Week and
that all school authorities national.
state. county and city, will officially
approve Of the plan and aid in put
ting it into effect.
All national associations interested
in the promotion Of education have
been invited to inform their state
and local divisions Of the general
plan for the observance of American
Education Week and to advise them
to cooperate with the school authori-
ties and other agencies. to the end
that a strong program may be sue
cessfully carried out in every com
munity in all states and territories.

, 1921-12-01

An active campaign is being carried
on all over the country to secure the
enrolment of a large number of
teachers in the n. f. A. There are
about 700, 900 teachers in the United
States, 1863 900 OF which are affiliat-
ed with the n. +. A. and about 49,
600 OF whom are active members. 1t
is hoped that the active membership
will reach 100. 900 this year. An or.
ganiZation of this kind with a large
membership will be able to WELD a
great deal of influence for the cause
of education. An opportunity will
be given all the teachers of Carbon
County to become members of this
great teachers association.
The month of December has a good
many special days that should be
observed by the schools. Governor
Carey and the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction have requested
that all schools follow the work of
the Disarmament Conference now IN
session at Washington. studying the
history of this conference. as well as
its purposes. aims and problems.
This conference represents one OF
the most important attempts yet
made in history to bring about an
International understanding which
will result in world peace. or at
least minimize the probability and
possibility OF war.
To commemorate the anniversary
Of Woman's Suffrage, December 10th
has been designated as "Wyomine
Day" The day is not to be used as
a holiday, but a day to be celebrated
by appropriate exercises in oul
schools commemorative OF the his,

work OF its pioneers.

Law Violations.

III AVE prohibition and the Volstead law in
L i creased law violations! They doubtless
nave Just as does every law especially those based
on public policy. There is not health law sani-
tation law, police law of any kind, or regulatory
law as applied to persons, or business which is
not violated every day of the year IN every State.
and some of them in nearly every community. Law
violation is as common as eating and yet this is a
law-observing people.
Every law of public policy has to be far broader
IN its terms than it is intended be in its applica-
ton. This is true from health regulations to game
laws and prohibition The old license laws were
violated quite as freely the Volstead law Cities

Many had as many places where liquor was illegally
sold as they had saloons The saloons systemati-

this was done openly and with police acquiescence
1t IS as equally common for those who want an
excuse in legislative halls for voting against any
proposed law, to discover that it may not be con-
stitutional This discovery has now been made in
the Senate as to the amendment Of the Vostead
act. The prohibition amendment forbids the use of
liquors as beverage" This amendment to the
Voistead act would regulate their use as medicine

Business In Government.

WHEN business man wants to know just
w where he is at, he first takes inventory.
inventories have become the special order OF busi-
ness of this administration. The navy has taken
one and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is selling the
surplus and useless properties. He will not only
turn these into cash. but will save the cost of I'D
keep.
Mr.. Lasker is taking inventory to discover
how much junk the Shipping Board has on its hands
and how much 1t costs to preserve it in its state of
complete uselessness. He will then undertake to
make it of use to the world in the hands of some-
one else. There is said to be use for everything,
if there is proper distribution In ships this gov
ernment has a lot of the superhuous while others
have too little. Mr. Lasker will do with merchant
ships, Mr.. Roosevelt has with decadent ma
val vessels-sell them for what they will bring
Gen. Dawes has also gone into the inventory
process, ordering one made in each of the depart
ments to discover what they have they do not need
with a view to exchange between them or sale
Out West, the farmers in certain sections have a
regular exchange system. When a farmer has any,
thing from to harness, or a wheelbarrow
to moving machine, he lists it for exchange at
the time looking the list to see If there
is anything he wants offered by other farmers
Gen Dawes has, as it were, taken leaf from this
farmer exchange system, and will introduce pro-
cess OF barter between the departments.
All of this is practical and it is because so
practical that it has occurred to others to in
troduce inventory and exchange or sale of the
superhuous, into the business of government. The
only exchange heretofore known, has been of clerks
of political party for those of another and the
only inventories have been to find more of such
places. At last, however, there is to be more of
business in government, if not less government in
