An important step toward the re
vival of industry In America was middle
last week when the United States
Steel corporation announced a fhev
price list showing lever prices 70.

also was reduced SI5 a ton. The De
creases are confined to certain prod
ucts and. according to builders and
architects, are not in themselves srf'
ficient to revive the building industrES
but the cut does remove uneertain
and establish a general stabilized PR
level for steel and experts in the traN
say it should stimulate industry. ThS
first concrete result was the ANNOUNCED

is the principal raw product used.

low-men, but man seems to have laid
many pitfalls for her, and 1t doth ap-
pear that she is little at sea as TO
lust how to do and what to wear
for the subject is under discussion
which in itself is somewhat OF a re-
Election upon the Lord in his wisdom
and the woman in her beauty ana
perfection. Men have been so I'M
gallant as to criticise her and women
themselves have sometimes criticised
each other, all of which Is super
fiuous, ungallant and immodest.
Now comes the Reverend w. Z.
Robertson of the Episcopal church OF
Chattanooga, Tenn, and says that
brides-to-be, when entering his
church for wedding service must
wear skirts that are long enough to
come down over the spring OF the
leg-whatever that is, and the skirt
must be wide enough to allow the
bride to kneel without slipping it up
above the knee. He also says that
the bride must clothe herself mod
estly about the neck, and that what
is known as an evening dress, expos
ing her form unnecessarily at front
and back below the neck, or sleeves
that do not come down to the elbows
will not be approved at the cere-
mony. He intimates that he will not
perform the ceremony unless the
bride is suitably attired.
1t is probably all right to tell
proud and expectant bride to cover
up herself as if she were some harm
full element, but there is no harm
excepting to harmful mind-a dis
eased set of thoughts and if the Rev
erend and his congregation would
give more thought and attention to
the brides face and eyes, and the
spirit that beams from them and less
attention to her form below the neck
and to her arms and legs and the
spring of her leg, they would prob
ably find more pure Joy in living and
in meeting with women who carry
their beauty with them.

IDAHO CALF TAKES
SECOND AT SHOW |
Selection of Winner at
International Show
Difficult Task

Idaho Sensation" go pound
purebred Hereford steer calf owned
by the agricultural callege of the
University of Idaho, won second
place in competition with approx
mately 400 fat steers at the Inter-
national Livestock show, recently
held in Chicago, Dean E. ]. Iddings
of the college reported on his return
to Idaho.
For the first time in the history
of the state university it was repre-
scented this year by an exhibit at the
international Livestock show at
Chicago" the dean said.
Steer and Wethers Exhibited
"The exhibit consisted of a pure
bred Hereford steer calf and two
purebred yearling Southdown weth-
ers. The calf, almost year old and
weighing $40 pounds on the official
scales at Chicago, had won the grand
championship for fat steer over all
breeds and ages at the recent West
ern Royal show at Spokane and at
the Pacific International at Port
land"
Continuing, Dean Iddlings said:
1t was at the urgent request Of a
number of western stockmen that the
calf was sent to the International at
Chicago. There it met in competi-
ton approximately 400 fat steers ex-
hibited by the largest and best
known beef cattlemen of America
and the leading state agricultural
colleges. In its class as senior calf
twenty-nine entrants were sregis-
tered
Judging Proves Difficult
This class is generally regarded
as the strongest class of the show.
The judges disagreed as to the win
ner in this class over the Idaho calf
and three others. Mr.. Watson, a
foreign judge from Scotland, who
was brought there to make the final
award for grand champion steer, was
called in to decide the place of the
senior Hereford calves. The Idaho
calf was finally placed second. The
calf owned by James Price of Wis
consin was placed above the idaho
entry and was later made reserved
grand champion of the show.

honor to the institution and the
state to have landed so close to the
premier honor at this show IN the

suppose he suspected that It might
be an Indian initiating turkey so
he went carefully. He found that
the calls came from the stub of a
hollow tree that had been broken of
high above the ground and he
watched the top end of that hollow
stump until he saw an Indian poke
his head out and holler again. He
shot the Indian and returned to the
fort with the scalp. Black Hawk
was taken prisoner and the govern
ment had him taken on q tour Of
the states and showed him New York
and Washington and the big things
that showed the power and wealth
Of the white mans country. Black
Hawk said that he would rather see
one good prairie fire than all Of these
things.

interview, / like his ideas about
economy. The man who will save a
little money all the time when he
has work or business always has
something to carry him thru a rainy
day. One thing that impresses me
is that so many young men and
young women in the community now
do not know anything about work or
hardship or economy. There are SO
many young men in town who show
no evidence Of ever having done a
real days work and so many young
women the same. I believe ! can

real housekeeping and real home
making.

OLD TIMER WRITES

Mr.. Editor:
read the interview by Mr.. Younie
In your paper and his reference to
prairie chickens made me think Of a
lot OF experiences on the great
prairie. Mr.. Younie and l we're small
boys at the same time, he lived on
the north side of the st. Lawrence
river in Canada, and I lived on the
south side in New York.
My Father came west when I was
q small boy and settled in Illinois,
thirty miles northeast Of Galina.
Chicago was q small town then, not
SO large as Blackfoot Is now. I re-
member there was a big strip Of
prairie just west of Chicago about
ten miles across and people thought
it would never be settled, but finally
a colony Of Germans went out and
settled it. 1t was so far to timber
that they had to use their corn for
fuel. The soil was rich and they
could raise so much of it they did not
miss what they burned. It was the
fashion in those days for every man
to carry some matches in his pocket,
SO If he saw a prairie fire coming he
could start a back fire and after it
had burned a little ways he would
pull his team and wagon on to the
part that was burned over and use
that as an island of safety when the
big fire arrived and broke around
him. fEa
The Black Hawk war In Illinois
was big event in my day. There
was log fort about five miles from
my fathers home. and one day when
there was an Indian scare, the fam
lilies gathered in from the country
around. The fort was in the woods
and an old turkey kept hollering out
In the woods not far from the fort.
One Of the old timers took his rife
end went out to get the turkey. I

THE BURDEN OF TAXES

Before the war the government of
the United States spent about one bill
lion dollars year for all purposes,
including interest on the public debt.
In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1920,
the first full fiscal year after fighting
stopped, the government spent in
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year 1921.
that is, up to June 80, 1921, it spent
$5,115,927, 6S9.30, and in the fiscal year
Of 1922, which will end on June 30,
1929, 1t will spend more than four bill
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon of
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest on the
public debt which amounts to about
one billion, dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re-.
demption. Including both interest and
. sinking fund, the government will
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1922 as it spent yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are part of the price of vic
tory. Your whole present problem is
to curtail them. 1t concerns you to
know just how these immense sums
were gathered and how much you paid
and are paying toward them, for of
course we, the tax payers, the men, and
women with jobs, the men and women
who have what the census calls gain
full occupations, paid every cent of it.
1t was our money, until the govern
ment took it.
Let us examine the fiscal year 1920.
l have not the detailed account for
1921, but it was slightly less than the
year previous, as the year ending June
80, 1922, will be slightly less burden
on us than the year preceding. Ac-
cording to careful analysis made by
the late DR.. e. B. Rosa, of the United
States bureau of standards, a govern
ment scientist who was deeply and in
diligently interested In the subject,
every man, woman and child in this
country contributes an average OF
fifty-three dollars in taxes to the sup
port Of the national government. Ac-
tually it is nearer fifty-four than fifty
three dollars, but am taking the
smaller sum for the sake Of the round
number. That is, the average family
Of five. persons pays $685. year out
of its earnings to the federal govern
ment alone, in addition to what is
paid for state, county and city taxes.
The estimated average yearly income
of family of five is something more
than $70O. But before any of that $500
is spent $2G5 must be turned over to
the general government to run the
business Of the United States.
The actual amount that each one of
us paid was $53.77. We paid it through
the medium of internal revenue taxes
and customs duties on imported ar
ticles divided as follows:

Farm Loan Plan
Operative July l
Secretary Of State Says New Law Al
lowing State to Loan School Funds
is a Very Important Measure.

Secretary of State Chaplin. in an ar
ticle published in a recent issue of the
Laramie Republican, tells about the
provisions of the law passed by the
recent legislature providing for farm
loans of state school funds, an act
characterized by the secretary as one
hat will result in great benefit to farm
land owners He says:
One of the most important and far
reaching acts passed by the last legis-
lature was the farm loan act. This
act was made possible by Il constitu-
tional amendment submitted to the
people and carried in the election of
1915. This amendment was urged with
all the ability at its command by The
Laramie Republican, ably assisted by
the entire press of the state. Under
the amendment the state nay now loan
its school funds upon first mortgage
upon farm lands within the state, and
the statute just enacted provides the
necessary machinery.
1.-The farm loan board consists of the
state school land board, embracing
the governor, the secretary of state, the
state treasurer and the state superin-
tendent of public Instruction. The
state commissioner of public lands is
made he chief executive officer and
has the general supervision of the
business under the direction Of the
board. The act requires that the bust
ness of loaning money shall begin July

mo borrower shall be given less
than $500 nor mose than $1,000. Loans
may be made upon lands used prin-
cipally for agriculture, dairying or
