THE CHRISTOPHER ARGUMENT.

HERE is a bit of vicious fallacy that persists
today which that life is to be main
tanned without work. That the god of idleness
decorated with the gilt of luxury, and adorned with
the flowers OF unearned pleasures shall have the
honored place the Preside. There is great
determination the part of the people to get out
of just as actual work as possible. The labor
ing classes keep fighting for shorter hours and
for limited output the young people expect to be
brought up the lilies of the field that toll not
spin not. The great army of shirkers is march
ing upon world that actually bids fair to be
crushed by their weight.
The-word need WORK The idleness and luxury
of this hour is only possible because of the stag
gering toll and the frugal savings that proceeded
it. Years of thrifty economy. Years of content
calling. Years of building up, and then the
scattering to the four winds. Billions upon bill
lions for war, billions upon billions for uxuries,
recognition OF the that the earnings and saw

one side, and STARVATION upon the other
Mostly play and little work bad program for

prosperity and its former solid grounding in trade

Miss Elsie Moran is the hrst
woman Office holder in Grafton.
She was appointed by a magistrate
to hold the office of constable I'M
til the County Court appoints a
permanent official to fill the
vacancy Already Miss Moran
has had several experiences
which have proven that she has
the nerve and grit to carry out
the som etimes strenuous duties
as constable in just about as sue
cessful a manner as man. One
of her hardest tasks was when she
was sent to Coffman to arrest a
large negro man. She made the
trip and brought the prisoner to
Jail unaided. and served the war
rant just as successfully as any
male officers ever did.

sBerton Braley's PoeIal
THE FLAPPER PARADE.

Each one wears a round little hal s.
With a bit OF tilt to the brim,
Low oxfords with heels that are flat
A scarf with much colorful VIM;
They're CARRIED in identical style
You'll meet them parading the
pike.
For mile after mile after mile,
And all exactly alike.
The same kind of bob to their hair,
The same Kind of rouge on their
lips,
The same semi-negiigent air
OF standing with hands on their
hips;
They walk with the same sort OF
a walk
"a cross 'twixt lope and htkel.
They chatter the same sort of talk.
They all act exactly alike!
They all show the same brand OF
And p use the same species OF
slang,
They dance with similar step,
And run with similar gang;
They're snappy and laughing aud
dapper,
But there is no doubt We must
start
To number each up-to-date flapper
In order to tell EN- apart!

A PREDICTION.

Riverton Chronicle When Mr.. Ross,
the democratic candidate for governor.
was in Riverton two years ago, speak
ing at IA meeting held by John IL. Ken
drick in Lawler Hall, he stated that
Warren 6. Harding, who was then Il
candidate for the presidency, would not
carry n state in the Union, but that
all would return majorities for Mr..
Cox. That was a fair sample of Mr..
Ross judgment on things political.
However, there is another prediction
that could be made at this time, and
the Chronicle will venture it, and that
is that next November Mr.. Ross will
not carry one county in the entire state
of Wyoming.
John W. Hay will be elected COVER
nor of the state of Wyoming by one of
the largest majorities ever given a can
didate for that office.
