James Baker and his son. Billie
Baker. had a horse camp up at the
head of Coal Gulch near Browns
Hill and a cattle camp up at Three
Forks in Colorado.
He prospected in Wyoming. Colo
RADIO and Utah and he also did some
surveying in Wyoming and Colorado.
Every fall he would go hunting and
get their winters supply Of meat.

IA store west of Dixon, the provisions
for which they would bring in with
OK teams. Whenever anything was
needed hat was not carried in stock

brought out from Rawlins, which vas
at tina time the nearest city.
He went one fall with the soldiers
and the ShOshone Indians over to
fight the Ute Indians near Meeker,
Colorado. This campaign took all

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

All Eighth grade pupils OF the rural
and Hanna schools have recently sub
mitted hort essays on some phase OF
the History Of Wyoming. These cs-
says are all excellent and show a
careful study of this interesting topic.
The best essay was to be Published
in Il paper. II has been found very
difficult to select the best from the
number of excellent papers submit
ted so that possibly several of the
better ones will be published in the
paper. This week we are publishing
one that is especially interesting.
dealing with the pioneer life Of
James Baker. n Of the best known
early settlers in Carbon County. This
essay was written by Mae Bryan of
Dixon and proves of especial interest
as Miss Bryan is a grcat-grand-
daughter of the Indian Scout and
pioneer settler.
sketch OF the Pioneer Life Of
James Baker.
(By Mae Bryan. Dixon, Wyo.)
One of the early pioneers Of Wyo-
ming and a man who played at least
a small part in the early history OF
the state, was James Baker. AS he
was my maternal great-grandfather
and as 7 have lived with my grand
mother for several years, | have. per-
haps. had a better opportunity of
getting information on his early life
than most students of history. | shall
endeavor to write down a few remin-
'scehceS OF my grandmother.

Slavery expects to have a preliminary
contest with Dixon soon. Hanna is
planning a contest with the schools
of the eastern part of the county. and
Saratoga is planning for a Platte
Valley contest. Local interest is be-
ing aroused in the different commun-
tiles and district prizes will be
awarded in some of the contests.
Most of the schools aye planning
their exhibits for the county exhibit
to be held at the same time as the
county contest. The manager of the
Wyoming State Fair has just issued
a bulletin of the Educational eXhib-
it's awarded prizes at the State Fair.
This bulletin will be of great value
to teachers in preparing exhibits.
This should create unusual interest
in the regular school work and
stimulate the art and hand work. 1t
is hoped that every school will have
a gOodly exhibit at the county ex-
hibit and at the State Fair.

My dear Judge Thiele
Allow me 10 congratulate you and
the other members of the Colonial COun-
Gil of ST.. Thomas and st. John upon the
passage of the tax law. You have ac-
compIished a great work for your com
munity.
fully realize that this new law con-
ceived along American lines and general
ly similar to the laws of other American
communities, was a new, big and an
accustomed step for the islands to take.
1t is but natural to shrink from new
paths that seemingly lead to ends beyond
our own personal experiences; but the
members of the Colonial Council did not
shrink from their duty. They squarely
and honestly faGed it and patiently
studied the problem from all aspects,
until finally convinced of its merit and
necessity, they have enacted the law.
Your line work is a source Of great
qualification to me and | feel sure that
the President and the Congress at home
will be greatly pleased.
Sincerely yours,
SUMNER E. W. KITTELLE,
Governor.

ETHEL CLAYTON CENTRAL
FIGURE in STRONG FILM

Probably the biggest punch in Fol
the Defense a new Paramount pic
ture starring Ethel Clayton which
will be shown at the Kenworthy the
alter next Wednesday comes in the
trial scene, according to Paul Powell
who directed the production.
Jennie, the protege of the heroine
played respectively by Miss laSu Pitts
and Miss Clayton, is on trial for the
murder of the hypnotist, DR.. Kashi-
mir, played by Bertram Grassby. See
ing that the evidence is all going
against the girl, the star springs to
her feet, and, regardless of court
procedure, cries:
''She is innocent, l killed him!"
In fact she is not sure but that
she did, because she was under a
hypnotic spell at the time of the
tragedy.
Knowing herself innocent "a fact
she has maintained steadfastly
throughout the trial, Jennie, deter
mined not to permit her best friend
to bear the burden of guilt, reverses
her testimony and screams that she
alone is guilty. AS matter of fact
neither is guilty-but the rest must
be left for the audience to discover
when the picture is presented
"For the Defense" is an adapta-
ton by Beulah Marie Dix of the play
by Elmer Rice. Vernon Steele plays
opposite the star.

ADDS FRENCH TO TONGUES
Even Baltic States Beggars Have Be-
come Iinqusts.

There have been so many delega-
lions of French officials and business
men in Riga this summer that the
French language is becoming popular,
adding another tongue to the three
others-Latvian, Russian and German
already recognized in the new Bal
tic state.
Because of the mixed population OF
the country, Latvian money has the
wording in Latvian, Russian and Ger
man. The telephone 'hello" girls all
speak these languages and some of
them also English, French and Estho-
MAN Many of the Latvian govern
ment officials speak English and
French At the post office the public
notices are in the three official Ian
guages. Riga's few beggars nearly all
speak five or six languages, and some
of them use very good English.
