Training in Sportsmanship.

People who do not believe in col
lege and school athletics may think
that the time spent in football and
baseball is largely wasted. But
these athletes get something besides
whatever physical benefit comes from
their experience.
One great gain is the training
they get in dealing with opponents.
To the raw and undeveloped boy, an
opposing team is kind of enemy,
which is viewed with hostility and
perhaps treated roughly.
The college and school athlete
learns to bear himself Ikea gentle
man in meeting opponents. Instead
of regarding them as hostile in
vaders, and making them feel like
enemies on his grounds, he meets
them with the utmost courtesy, and
makes them feel comfortable and at
home. In the contest on the field,
he is just as anxious to give the
square deal as to get it When a
boy attains spirit of this kind, he
acquires a form of chivalry that
arouses admiration, and must win
him friends when he gets out into
the conflicts of life.

Dear SIR
Your very kind and welcome letter

like to hear from any one back home,
for when days seem endless and con-
fnement tedious, my thoughts al
ways wander back Hurley Way.
Then / look to the future and when
this battle is won and | will be back
with you all again.
The place here is wonderful and
the environment is beautiful and
pleasant. But the beauty fades in
time with the monotony of long
confinement 1t is then we some
times wonder if it was all worth the
price we paid. The Buddies on the
inside have a lot of time to think as
they play amidst the ruins Of fallen
"dream castles, and as in fancy we
turn back the hand of time, our
thoughts and memories are not al
ways pleasant ones.
There are thousands of the boys
today with thoughts the same as
mine. Try as we may to shake them
off they are ever in our minds "Have
the people forgotten and why?" 1t
seems that human interest, sentiment
and ethics are things connected with
progress; bestowed here today and
elsewhere tomorrow, to keep up with
the mad, busy whirl of the game OF
life.

Our poets are becoming aware of
their continental heritage. Reading
them, one begins to feel natures great
scale, her wide spaces, her inexhaus-
tible variety, in these forty-eight big
states cOmpacted into single nation,
writes Harriet Monroe in Poetry. A
country larger, freer, wilder than the
little England whose tongue they
speak is asserting its power and scope
in the songs they sing. 1t may be
that the hope Of American art-its
one advantage, at least, over Europ-
pean-lles in that love of the wilder
ness which we inherit from the pio-
neers. We are nearer to wild nature
than the crowded old-world peoples,
and we still throw off more easily the
husks of civilization to build camp
fire under the stars.

INTELLIoENcE OF WOMEN

Mental tests have at last vindicated
WOman's claim to intellectual equality
with man. AS far as the average abil-
ity of the sexes is concerned, the ques-
ton has received a final answer, Lewis
Madison Truman declares in the
Worlds Work. Among psychologists
the issue is as dead as the ancient
feud as to the shape Of the earth. Two
questions, however, have not yet been
satisfactorily answered.: l. Granted
that women are the equals of men
in general intelligence, are there
nevertheless sex differences in special
intellectual functions or in emotional
and volitional traits? 2. Granted that
the average intelligence of the sexes
is about the same, is it true as some
believe, that the variability Of the
male Is greater? If so, this would
fully account for the higher incidence
Of genius among men. On the whole
the evidence available to date rather
favors the view. AT the same time we
cannot be sure that the apparent in
frequency Of genius among women
may not be accounted for by lack OF
opportunity or by certain weakness
Of the woman's competitive instinct
or twill to power"

There are fewer emperOrs by at
least four than there used to be prior
to the outbreak of the great war.
Their number has dwindled chiefly be-
cause they have not lived up to the
origin of their name. We owe the
word emperor" to. the old Romans.
These remarkable people applied the
name "imperator" to the commander
Of an army, who consequently bore
the Emporium" or command. In those
days the command of an army went
by ability. In the course of the CEN
turtles the command of an army and
consequently Of state ceased to i'm
ply ability, and was conferred not by
a victorious army in the field, who
raised q successful chief on their
shields. but by birth. And the in
creasing lack Of ability contributed
strongly to the elimination Of emper-
ors since 1914. says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. But there is still an en-
peror on his way to oblivion.

Heavy Christmas Mail Expected.

Postoffice officials are expecting a
heavy business at the Christmas
period this year, possibly heavier
than ever before Mail was flowing
heavily as early as November l, it
was pointed out and when the rush
starts SO early it is taken as a sign
of a big rush of holiday mail.
The department began in October
the usual preparations for the holi-
day increase and by December / the
entire service will be ready. Officials
see that mail early" campaigns are
having their effect on the mailing
public, resulting in the unprecedent-
ed early start of Christmas business.
1t is estimated that the increase in
postal receipts during December
over normal month is $8,OOO,O0O.
About $1,000,000 is spent for extra
space on trains to transport the
mails, the motor vehicle service
spends approximately 100000
above it's regular service, and an
other $1,0OO,OOO goes for additional
clerk hire in the various postoffices
to sort mail.
Another item is $35O,000 for adj
ditional carriers. Added to these
items are the millions of money
order blanks, more millions of
stamps, miles Of Irvine to bundle
poorly tied packages and thousands
of square feet of emergency ware
house space.
''Uncle Sans total bill for Christ
mas is about as discouraging as
dads" the department declares.
Deliver all Christmas mail by
noon December %" is thewatchword
Of the service as the day draws near
and it is very seldom that the goal
is missed.
However, bad storm may delay
deliveries, and adds terrifcally to
the bill. A storm in New York last
Christmas cost the postoffice de-
partment 100000 extra for motor
vehicle transport alone. The postal
service does not wish for white
Christmas"

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

In reviewing the year which is now
fast slipping from our grasp, we can
rest assured that if we have gone
through it without practicing thrift,
it can be set down as wasted period
in our lives For thrift is at the
foundation of all substantial success
in life.
1t is matter of secondary con-
sideration whether ones income dur
ing this period has been greater or
smaller than before. If one has
earned more than previously and has
nothing to show for it, his success is
not equal to that of the person who
has not been able to earn so much,
but who has been practicing thrift,
and therefore has something to show
for the years accomplishments.
Very few persons are purposely or
wilfully thriftless. Lack of thrift
is in most cases the result of pro-
crastination. Many of those who
are not thrifty feel that they have
not reached place where circum-
stances or personal convenience will
permit of their saving money.
But do not allow yourself to be
deceived by any such false reasoning.
Generally speaking, it is just as easy
to begin thrift one time as another.
1t may seem to you that in the future
you will be better fixed for saving
money, but as you go on, month after
month, you will find that even though
conditions may apparently improve
with you the temptations to waste
your fnancials resources is just as
strong.
The coming New Year will be a
most suspicious time for the beginn-
ing of thrifty life. Do not pro
crastinate, no matter what your
circumstances in life may be.
Make the start
Resolve that when this period
comes around next year you will
have something to show for your
time and labor. These end-of-the
year days constitute an opportune
time for the start in thrift practices

Notice To Holders OF 1918 War
Savings Certificates.

War savings certificates of the
1918 issue will be accepted at the
local post office for exchange at
maturity value of Treasury Savings
Certificates, said certificates to bear
date of issue as of January 2, 1928.
They will also be accepted at
maturity value now for transmission
to the Federal Reserve Banks and
checks for the amount will be mailed
to the owners for the amount by the
Federal Reserve Banks on or after
January 2, 1928.
1t is the desire of the Treasury
department as well as the post office
department that the public take ad-
vantage of one of these options be-
fore the Christmas rush starts.

The wooden bridge on the county
road at Deer creek midway between
Broadus and Powderville is the first to
receive an official ban by the three
county commissioners who personally
inspected 1t on Monday. Danger signs
were posted and traffic ordered into a

Robson Assaulted

John Robson, a man Of nearly 70
years of age. was brought to town
Tuesday afternoon by William Lavell
suffering with a badly bruised face
and his injuries were dressed by Dr.
c. II. James. His condition was the
result Of an encounter with Bill Harp
a man of about 30 years.
According to accounts received here.
Robison's cattle were overrunning the
unfenced land of Harp, against pro-
tests by Harp. 1t seems there is some
sort OF an agreement between the two
men weherby Robson was to fence
the land. He had dug the holes and
installed the posts. it is said. ana
promised to string the barbed wire as
socn as the wire was available.
Monday forenoon the two men met
and after some words Robson pro-
ceeded on his way. driving a team and
wagon. He passed through a gate and
1t is said Harp declined to go the same
way, Later Harp let down the eate
and riding horseback. caught up with
Robson and in passing him. is said
to have delivered backhand blow
into Robiscn's face with a nash club.
Robson was stunned temporarily tho
he still clutched the reins. His team
started into runaway and had gone
some distance before Robson regain
his senses and stopped them. 1t is
said Harp gallcped off at a fast speed,
without learning the extent of Robi-
sons injuries. Robson returned to
his home and summoned help from
Lavelrs Lavell had considerable trou-
BILE with his car in bringing the in
jured man to Brcadus. 1t was found
that the blow had landed just above
the bridge Of Robison's nose. between
the eyes. blackening the eyes and
making cash that required several
stitches. No bones were broken. 1t
is said.
While Harp is resident Of Powder
River county. the alleged assault hap.
pened just over the l'ne in Carter
county and any legal action for prose-
cution would be at the expense Of
Carter county.

ReiferS $50 a Head

stockmen of the Little and Big
Powder rivers have sold between 700
and 500 head of white-fa yearling
heifers to the Cheyenne Indian reser-
walton at Eagle Buttes. s. D., for a
price said to be $50 a head.
Archie Wells, agent from that 'nsti-
tuition, was in Broadus the forepart of
the week, accompanied by H. H.
Bright of Miles City, and made ar
rangements for the delivery of the
yearlings to him in Broadus the md :
die of next week. He will return here
at that time.
The calves will be trailed to Miles
City and loaded en- the cars there for
South Dakota.
While the price paid for the calves
is higher than year ago. stockmen
do not consider the price more than
the calves were worth in view of them
all being white faced and the pick of
the herds.
