Lloyd George Has His Joke.

A DMIRATION which most Americans hold for
"a Mr.. David Lloyd George, prime minister of
Great Britain, will not be lessened in he-least by
charges OF his enemies that he has trafficked in
peerages, dukedoms, etc
He has been accused, and to date he has not
denied the allegation, of paving the way for, war
profteers to purchase coronets with their i'll gotten
gains What is wrong about that? "Cervantes y
says Byron, laughed Spain's chivalry away" The
Castan did noble service to his country by exor-
csing all the hollow claptrap of defunct feudalism
when he created clown to dance upon the stage
Mr. Lloyd George, we suspect, wants to laugh Eng
-iands prudish arstocracy away. If he succeeds he
will render no less distinguished service

States toward European nobility has changed

Owing to very serious illness.

am now recovering, was absent
from meetings of my post OF the
American Legion for nearly one year.
My first visit since my illness was on
one occasion when the question Of
buying a permanent home for the
post was settled.
A number OF splendid talks were
had on that night. with the cac-p-
ton of one. In this case the speaker
referred to what he called "he-men,"
who do things. saying that he-men
enlisted or Joined the army only when
fighting was to be done. inferring
that men enlisting when war was not
on were not he-men.
Needless to say that these remarks
were not made through malis BUSINESS.
Our friend comrade Just does not
know. though the harm done the
service and the enlisted man by that
kind of talk is not lessened thereby
He does not know that soldiers
serving for sl3 per month were the
original he-men who opened the West
and the frozen North: we were the
ones who stood between the savage

College Men.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Why is 1t that so many of our
young, ambitious college men lack
the common sense, intelligent way
of reasoning things out for them
selves? Most of these men come
from poor homes. They eat cheap
food, wesr cheap clothing, and are
very tight" and economical. In
spite of all this they talk, think
and act like million bucks"
Proud are they of their intelligent
conservatism" Their chances of
becoming rich corporation lawyers.
mine owners or railroad presidents
are very slim. In fact. ! wouldn't
give 'em a plugged nickle for Their
chances. Verify might / say you
can send any "durned" fool to col

Renewed ACTIVITY in OIL fields
PRESAGES INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT
EVERY field ADJACENT TO MWLINS PREPARING TO MAKE
this SUMNER A MEMORABLE ONE In CARBON COUNTY
OIL and GAS PRODUCTION. ROAD CONDITIONS FAIR.
GREAT deal OF OIL, AWAITS The PIPE Line OUTLET

With h advent Of real spring
weather. the drying up of the roads
and frightening of hours of daylight
comes a real awakening in all of
the oil fields adjacent and tributary
to RawlinS. Road conditions of
course, continue to handicap opera
tions, but they generally are not
nearly as bad as would be imagined
from the descriptions given out by
some.
Roads in all directions in the fields
are now perfectly, dry, but in low
places are cut to pieces by deep ruts.
which will require some dragging and
leveling to put them in shape for
regular traffic. The opinion is gem
eral that if some work car be done
by those interested in maintaining
passable roads, in conjunction with
the state highway department. which
has been asked to cooperate. the
highways will be found in better
than the average condition through
Out the summer.
There is a cheerful note of optim-
ism heard in every quarter. among
oil men. drillers, leasers, lessees and
stockholders in companies already at
work, or preparing to enter those
fields. Many new outfits r being
installed and several new rigs are
already erected and about to begin.
while operators who are already in
production are cheered by the fact
that increased capacity of the pipe
line outlet to the rails of the Union
Pacific at Fort Steele loading sta
ton will soon enable them to in
crease their output, which has been
restricted by lack of storage facil-
tiles. to the maximum.

ton arising out of outstanding claim.
of every character against the Gov,
eminent concerning lands embraced
in the Wyoming Naval Reserve.
The great oil producing states OF
Kansas. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas
Louisiana and others have trunk pipe
lines which are connected with the
markets of the world. These states
have become large oil producing cen
ters by aso of the fact that they
have an outlet for their surplus oil.
The development of their oil re-
sources was followed by increased
activity in many other lines Of in
dustry. Prosperity was the result.
The lack OF a trunk pipe line from
Wyoming has resulted In a depression
in the oil industry here. causing a
loss to the Reclamation Service. the
State and its taxpayers. The build
ing Of the pipe line, as required by
this contract, will place Wyoming on
an industrial par with the other large
oil producing states Of the Union.
The railroads cannot compete with
trunk pipe lines for the transportation
Of crude petroleum. The %refineries of
Wyoming supply all markets tribu-
tary thereto. Transportation rates
for products of Wyoming refineries
to non-tributary points are so ex-
cessive as to prohibit active competi-
ton. A fair price can be obtained
for Wyoming surplus oil production
only by trunk pipe line transporta-
ton to eastern markets.
1t Is true that many interests in
Wyoming obtained certain privileges
and benefits in Salt Creek under the
terms eof the oil leasing act. De-
mands for like privileges in Teapot
Dome have been denied. The larger
price for Wyoming crude oil made
possible by this contract, the increase
in discovery and development Of new
oil fields. the greater return from
State royalty oils. the inreased funds
for the Reclamation Service and for
the schools and highways. the in
crease in taxable property as well as
the development resultant from in
creased wealth in the state-all tend
to build up a greater Wyoming.
In view Of the proven facts and the
favorable terms Of the contract en-
tered into under the provisions Of a
Act of Congress which made
1t the duty Of the Government to take
action in this matter. the National
Administration is to be commended
upon It's foresight and business judy
ment.

our educational program.

in our educational program.
The schools of Wyoming are more
fortunate than some of the schools
or her sister states so far as finances
are concerned. We receive a good
deal of aid financially from the oil
lands as we'll as from the state land
income fund. A good deal of this
money Is still tied up because of
litigation. but the prospects for in
creased aid for the schools in the
future are very good. Moreover. this
fund will undoubtedly increase from
year to yea as new oil lands are
opened up.
II. Organization and Administra-
There is at the present time in our
system great need for more adequate
supervision of instruction. The prin-
cipals are all teaching practically full
time and have little or no time for
supervision. 1t is a rather diff
cult problem for a small school sys-
tenn. sIn larger systems there are
sufficient funds to provide needed
supervisors.
Heretofore the grade teachers be-
low the department at Central School
have had no principal. The board
has made provision for this next year
by making the principal of4the de-
partment the principal Of iCentral
Of Central School instead. which will
result in a better and closer organ
ization for Central School.
At present the, superintendent is
burdened with much clerical work
and routine office work which takes
his time from supervision and gen
eral administrative work. There is
no provision for stenographic or cler-
ical assistance of any kind. Cores
pondence, records. reports, applica-
lions. etc. have to be taken care of.
and in the spring several hundred
letters of inquiry and applications
have to be taken care Of. 1t is not
good economy to require an execu-
tive or administrator to use his time
for work which a clerk at a much
lower salary could do as we'll.
From the standpoint Of %organiza-
ton there is another great need,
which cannot be remedied, however.
until our school system is larger.
That is the matter of mid-year pro-
motions. Under our present plan
the pupils are promoted once a year
instead of twice a year. If a pupil
finds the work of a grade too diff
| cult and must be denoted, he must
now lose a year instead of only half
a year II he is an exceptionally
good student and should be advanced
he must now be advanced a whole
year instead OF half a year. This is
a serious handicap. but pr0bably
| cannot be remedied until u school
system is larger and we have a larger
teaching staff.
III. The Teaching Staff
Our teaching staff consists OF 80
members, including "a regular teach
ers. four principals. a superintend-
emit and a librarian. There have been
q number of changes in the person.

ically every case substitutes were
