ment, Walton Asserts

Wyo., Nov. 1.
The state of Wyoming has
a perfectly good prohibition
law and many Wyoming
municipalities have prohibit
ton ordinances, therefore any
county and town in the state Is In a
position to suppress tho liquor traf-
no without consideration OF the fed
srai prohibition law. but II they neg
lect or refuse to use their own legal
machinery for this purpose the fed
erai law win be invoked. said United
States Attorney Albert D.. Walton to-
day:
The federal officers whose duty Il
Is to enforce tho laws OF tho United
States do not intend to interfere with
or surplant local officers" said Wal
ton. but desire to work with them
and nssist them in every way pos
sibis in enforcing prohibition law.
We wish. however. to warn those whp
are derelict IN their duties thai II they
cannot enforce the laws we can-and
will"
The passage of the national prohi-
billion law does not take away from
local officers OF tho several counties
md cities tho power. or the duty Of
Enforcing the state prohibition law"
Walton continued. and n the good
people of every community would re-
port to tho local officers violations
that como to their attention. and let
It be known that they will not toler-
ate officers who arc derelict in their
duties. It would do more than any
thing else to enforce and command
respect for the prohibition law"

TREES BEAUTIFY OUR ROADS
Enthusiasm Displayed All Over coun- try in Campaign for Roads of
 Remembrance."

Motor travellers all over the coun- try have stimulated a contagious in- terest in planting trees by the road sides. The Federation of Women's Clubs, which was one of the first na- tional organizations to assist in this work. has planted many trees along sections of the Lincoln highway, writes Victoria Faber Stevenson in Sinclair's Magazine. Today it is beau tifying many roads by planting trees in memory of the men who served in the World war. In fact, enthusiasm for roadside tree planting is evident all over the country in the widespread interest which is taken in Roads of Remembrance"
 Patriotic and civic organizations, women's clubs and boy scouts units are providing miles of roadway with young oaks and elms. These sturdy trees, which will perpetuate the mem ory of the men who took up arms for America are also giving the roads beauty and Individuality.
 Perhaps the most unique work of this character which Is reported by the American Forestry association is being done in Georgia around the city of Macon. There the woman's auxil- iary of the chamber of commerce is planting a huge cross of trees in hon or of the men and women who went to war from their vicinity.

THE COURIER.

The courier, of course, had his story to tell. He was a messenger, and his name was Cooperation. He told his story to the boy and girl adventurers, and they listened, for they wanted to hear what he had to say, and they knew that he wanted to help them.
 "Oh," said the girl to the boy, "did you have a perfectly dreadful time during the long hours we were sep arated and afraid each other was lost?"
 Dreadful" said the boy, "but 1t is over with now. How about you? How did you get along?"
 "Not so badly" said the girl, for she didn't think 1t was quite so dread full to look back upon as it was when she was going through 1t all alone.
 "How did you know I was safe?" she asked, turning to the courier.

convict labor and statute labor, the value. of which, not definitely known, Is estimated at about $132,OOOOOO. So far as possible, all expenditures on city streets within incorporated towns and cities and all items of sinking fund payments or the redemption and interest payments on road and bridge bonds have been excluded.
 The road and bridge expenditures for 1919 show an increase of approxi- mately 33 1-3 per cent over those of 1918 and 70 per cent over those of 1914. More striking, however, is the increase in the proportion of the to- tai funds supervised by the several state highway departments. In 1918 the expenditures by or under the su- pervision of, the state highway depart ments amounted to S117, 7,2S5, ,26S, while the local road funds, over which they exercised no control whatever, amount ed to $16S,S12, ,925. In 1919, however, the state highway departments super vised the expenditure of $200, ,292, ,694 as against the total of $189, ,163. .237 expended by the local road and bridge authorities.
