What romantic girl could resist being
carried of her feet by these "vers librc"
lines on snperwoman? Whether Miss FL
lerman thought OF herself as a superwoman
and tried to fit these enhancing thoughts
TO her own personality is not known
While bordering the depth OF meaning
in the lines quoted above Miss Ellerman
came across another nnlightening flash of
her heros genius. This is what she read:
The penetrating eye sees color in the
sky on cold, clear days-white. being a
composite color, chemically, is more
colorful than vermllion"
Here was surely profound idea Who
before had ever thought o. seeing color
where there Is no color? Who but Il genius
like Mr.. McAlmon would have noted the
paradoXical fact that white is more color
full than vermilliOn?
Enlightened by the poets thought Miss
Ellcrman began to realize how stupid all
the rest OF mankind really is. Next day as
she saw a young bride dressed in pure
white emerge from the ceremony at the
church. she realized for the first time how
much more colorful the white bride was
than she would have been if she had worn
the brightest vermillion-shc would never
have suspected II ii she had not read her
hero's suggestion.

ALL SCHOOLS MUST
COMPLY WITH Laws

According to DR.. G. HI. james,
county health officer, every school
in Powder River county must pro-
vide adequate water supply for the
teacher and scho,ars or suffer the
penalty which would result in its sus-
pension. Such authority is given the
health officer. 1t is stated that many
trustees will comply with the laws
in this respect and will have wells
drilled. In some vicinities the health
OF the schools as a whole has been
subject to impairment by using wa
ter for drinking purposes from ques-
tionable sources.
There's no ifs and ands about
this matter" said the health officer.
Il propose to do my duty and protect
the health of the teachers and schol-
ars unless the trustees comply with
the laws pertaining to sanitation aud
proper water supply"

Normal Acreage
To Be Planted

Reports from over the county in
dtcate that our farmers are itchins
tor the time they can start work in
earnest. While some plowing and
discing has been done, the bulk OF
this work yet remains, but with some
moisture to loosen up the grounl,
farming will be under full steam.
1t is believed the acreage to be plant
ed this year will be equal to that OF
last year.
While conditions have been ad-
verse the past two seasons many of
the farmers conten nothing is to be
gained this year by ''laying Off"
and they are going into the season
with q degree Of optimism.
It 10 yet unknown whether any
effort will be made by farmers aud
ranchers from this county to secure
government funds with which to pur-
chase seed. Reference to this mat
ter is to be read In another column
Of this weeks paper.

Like
Prairie Dogs

People living in the vicinity Of
Biddle have greatly benefited by the
inhabitation Of many families of fer
rets. These animals are carniyerous,
very slender Of body and they espe-
cially relish prairie dog menu.
They are rather indisposed to work
and would much prefer to find hole
already dug for them. They are rec
ognized by prairie dogs as dangerous
enemies and whole ''towns" will be
deserted on their approach. Coyote
trappers last winter were sorry to
catch a few Of these ferrets but it
was unavoidable.
About ten years ago Mr.. Biddle,
then owner of the Cross 8 ranch,
introduced pair Of ferrets in the
vicinity and they have now multi
piled to considerable proportions.

S100 a Month
Church Support

Up to Wednesday night, total
sum OF 500 per month had been
pledged in Broadus toward the fl
nancial support of the Community
church with the pro-
viso that the minister, Rev. Henry X.
Waters, devote his entire time and
attention to the local church except
emergency calls to outlying districts
and mid-week services when they
would be expected to meet his sx-
penses.
It is believed that another $50 a
month will be supplied by the parent
church, which will provide compen-
satton to keep a minister in the To-
cal field. BY this arrangement the
church movement will be continued
In Broadus and outlying districts and
all will benefit alike.
A. n. Harlan is financial secretary
for the Broadus church and checks
or money remittances for the church
support should he rendered to him.

and saccharine which mixed with
oats, will provide 1850 pounds Of
bait.
While the county has advanced the
:money for the strychine and sac

county, where 1t will be distributed
to different individuals making ap-

bait will be sent out. For the main
part these directions advise the use
OF the bait very sparingly. The bait
should not be placed in the holes,
but scattered around, about half q
to each mound.

the situation, We beg to report fur.
ther:
| Yonr committee finds that durine
| the years of 1919 and 1920. the
highway commission built 311 miles
! OF road, at cost of $3,211,6S3.9S,
rms Is the mileage total on complet-
ed and uscompleted projects. The
above amount shows an average cost
OF over $4,000 per mile. There II
still an additional 346.46 miles to
be completed on jobs contracted for.
which means at the contract price an
expesditure of over s3,00O,0OO for
1921.
We also find that for the years
1919 and 1920 the automobile IL
censes netted the highway commits
sion $5s5,007.26, which means ST..
ssl for each mile of road completed
lbuilD during the same period OF
tlme In other words-the autom1-
bile license money Of the state estted
the highway commission ever 1877
Tor each mile of road built, for en-
gineering.
Further investigation brought TO
the attention OF your commit -
that, to all estimates figured by the
highway commission on projects to
he let, was added an additional 1O,c,
One-half Of the 1919 was paid by the
respective counties, and one-half bv
the federal government for eng
neering and contingencies. This
loie item was taken out at the very
start. For eXample-for an es,imat-
ed 100000 project, $4,000 was
demanded from the county before
work could be started, $4,000 of this
was taken for the highway commits
sion and after the remaining $50
600 had been spent, and when more
money was Forthcoming from the
federal government for estimated
and completed work, another $1,000
was withheld out of the first money
sent to pay the contractor. 1t Will
be seen that the additional 1900 IL
all contracts, for 1919 and 1925
gave the highway commission $321,-
1859 over and above the auto IL

THE total amount of salaries for
the complete crew for the year 1920
was $2S7.956.66. During the month
of Dcember. 1920, .he complete force
in the payroll numbered 175. The
month of October showed a crew oi
236, this being the highest for the
year. and making an average of 1So
individuals per month for the en-
tire year. Added to the salary OF the
complete force is an additional item
OF mileage books for the year 1920,
to S1l,OS2.13, which
again means an item of $40 to $50
more for railroad fare per each mile
OF road built during 1920. Whether
this amount is taken out of the 1Ott
for engineering and contingencies"
can oily be determined by an expert
Your committee also finds upon
a several occasions. engineers, who
have been connected with the high
way commission and who have help
ed to figure out the estimates for
about to be let, had resign
ed from the commission in order to
be allowed to bid on contracts. Your
feels that this state OF al
fairs is not giving square deal to
bidders and should be
