Best Lovers.

A cosmopolitan party of women, all
much travelled, We're discussing in the
lounge of a big hotel in London, writes
a correspondent, "WhO are the best
lovers?" The verdict was unanimous.
Shakespeare, said one woman, knew
what he was doing when he created
the supreme lover and gave the role
to an Italian. The pure Athenian
Greek was voted very poor under
study, not to be thought of in the
same day. Compare an Italians self
less homage expressed so delicately
as to be merely an atmosphere, with
the cold summingup of the English
man, the self-sufficiency of the Span
lard, the Germans matter-Of-fact cat
aloguing of qualities and defects, the
Swiss calculation of pros and cons.
and the selfish appraisal of the other
northern countrymen," she added. A
Frenchman's manners as a lover leave
nothing at all to be desired, contended
another woman, "the southern French
man sometimes even approaches the
Italian, but that Is surely due TO his
having Italian blood in his veins

Nature Mans Great Enemy

Love nature? 'interrogates Or. Ed
ward E. SloSsen of the national re-
search council.
Never he fiIngs back to his own in
terrocatlon
Nature is the constant and unremit-
ting enemy Of man. Never for mo-
ment may he relax his fight against
her If he does she will overrun his
fields with weeds, and he will be with
out food. Unless he fights her away
from his house by coats of artificial
paints she will lead it to decay and
her rains will come in and make him
miserable She may attack him with
pestilence at any moment if he does
not fight her with sanitation, or over
come him with flood or volcano. She
pushes him back always, into the chaos
of the jungle from which he has
emerged only by mastering her. She is
treacherous and unsleeping. She lies
in wait Eventually she will probably
overcome man and the world will move
backward toward the mollusk. Love
her? a corpulent opportunity.-Phil

LOCAL RESIDENTS WILL GET n
RURAL CARRIER JOBS.

The principle of the local resident for
the local job is further carried out by a
recent ruling of the Civil Service commits
sion. Hereafter, the commission states,
only persons who have their residence
within the delivery of the office ia which
the vacancy exists will be certified for
rural carrier appointment. Heretofore
certification has been made of eligibles
residing within the delivery of any office
in the entire county in which the vacancy
office is situated. The new procedure
places applicants for rural carrier ap-
pointments on the same basis as sppli-
cants for postmaster appointments, so
far as the matter of residence is con =
cerned. The Civil Service Commission
states that this change has been made
after due consideration and meets with
the approval of the Post Office Depart
ment.

HEALTH HAS ITS HANOlCAPS
A Well Man Occasionally Feels Too
Much Like Sinking Work
to Have Fun.

A man who works with his brain
after passing a seepess night. or
when in the clutches of some discom-
forting indisposition. often does not
see how he is possibly going to get
through with his days stunt. He goes
at 1t, however. and Is almost always
surprised to find that he works more
rapidly and successfully than when
fine and fit. We suppose this is be-
cause, feeling the necessity, he con
centrates more determinedly on what
Is before him The fact that he is
rather tired and ill., and therefore has
little temptation or ambition to 90
afield in the flesh or the spirit, may
also have something to do with it
Whatever the explanation, 1t is the
truth.
Perfect health is Il glorious thing to
have. yet its relationship to success in
life is much exaggerated. \ very

MUST HAVE LICENSE 10 SELL
LIGHTNING RODS.

Insurance Commissioner q. Waldron
Smith has received from Attorney Gen-
eral Ransford w. Shaw a most important
opinion relating to the sale OF lightning
rods in response to an inquiry made by
him.
Attorney General Shaw points out that
all lightning rod manufacturers, dealers
and agents who offer for sale any light
ming rod materials must be licensed De-
fore doing so, and moreover, such license
can only be issued to legal residents oil
the State. Attorney General Shaw adds
that the manufacturer OF such materlals,
no matter where he may be located, must
comply with Sections "a and 80 OF the
revised statutes, and that under Section
81, it is an offense for anyone to sell or
offer for sale any lightning rod materials
without being licensed.
Commissioner Smith has notified the
various manufacturers that this ruling
will be enforced to the letter and urges
prospective buyers of lightning rods,
especially those who intend having their
homes equipped with this fire prevention
device. to be careful that the persons thus
selling them these goods, and particularly
installing them, are duly licensed by the
State insurance department.
Commissioner Smith SAID Monday that
absolutely worthless materials have Deeh
sold by mail order houses or ny py
night" concerns, and if buyers will take tax
this precaution they will be additionally
protected, not only because of the auaiity
of goods, but because of the insurance
feature exacted by the insurance depart
ment from the manufacturer as to stand
ard, and endorsement in case OF lire by
lightning.

A Vacuum and Gravitation.

A tank containing nothing, not even
air, would be what is known in physics
as a vacuum An object resting on
the bottom of such tank, whatever
might be ITS weight, would be acted
upon by the law of gravitation in the
same manner as would be the case
of an object resting on the bottom of
a tank containing air or resting on a
support in the open air. The law of
gravitation would attract it to the
surface of the earth, but the bottom
of the tank on which it rested would
prevent it falling 1t would, therefore,
remain on the bottom of the tank

Our Congressional STANDARD Bearer.

Of ALL her brilliant sons none reflect greater
" credit upon the old state Of Wyoming through
ability and accomplishment, than Charles EDWIN
Winter. 49,.
Author, jurist, orator, developer and splendid
citizen. All are proud titles, and any one sui
ficient for any man. That they are all worn
worthilv BY Judge Winter marks him a man
among the best.
For twenty years the lam of Charles Winter
has been almost a household word IN wyoming;
The name has always stood for the highest and
best in public and private life and throughout the
years of his Wyoming citizenship no breath OF
suspicion could be uttered against him and no
stain attached to his garments.
He first attracted public attention by his legal
learning while n resident of En~campment- Then
he endeared himself as the author of Wyomings
state song and of western fiction depicting life
and character as he read 1T in the men and women
with whom he came in daily contact. Next he be-
came known throughout the state through pubic
addresses, in politics, social, educational and re-
lgious occasions.
When his profound learning in the law was
recognized and the elder Governor Carey called
him to the newly created district court bench of
the Sixth District, it was with the unanimous ap-
proval of the people and the members of the legal
profession who were TO practice before him. Upon
the bench he made a splendid record and gave to
Wyoming Jurisprudence a new high standing. So
great was the public confidence in Judge Winter
that at the conclusion of his appointive term he
was elected without opposition for a full six-year
term, r~esigning midway the term to accept a very
remunerative legal connection.
At the August primaries of the Republican party
Judge Winter was nominated for representative
in congress, to fill the seat SO long and ably occu-
pied by Frank ". Mondell, who at the sam pri-
mary was nominated as the Republican candidate
for United States senator.
Since arriving at his majority Judge Winter has
been identified with the Republican party, a be-
lever in and supporter of its principles. Either
as speaker or writer he has borne a part in every
campaign since Mckinley and has rendered good
account of himself in Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming
and adjoining states.
Possessing every qualification to serve his state
in congress; and in every sense worthy to be the
successor of Wyoming's other ~favorite son, Frank
Mbndell, it is as certain as the sun rises on
November 9Th Charles E. Winter will on that day
be overwhelmingly elected.
With Mondell in the senate and Winter in the
house, the prestige of Wyoming will be fully main
tanned and the old state will go forward to greater
glories.
AS a matter of pride and as an honor deserved
and earned Natrona county, the home of Judge
Winter, should give him her entire vote regardless
of party.

would have been slashed nearly s2OO,OOo,OOO a
year?
That federal taxes would have been cut nearly
s1,OO0,OOO,OO0 a year?
That a peace conference of the greatest powers
in the world would have been held at which it was
agreed TO Voluntarily scrap more battleships than
have been destroyed IN all the naval battles Of mod
ern times?
The voters know that these remarkable changes
due TO the policiis and practices of this admins
tration. They could not have taken place had there
not been cooperation between a Republican con-
gress and Republican executives.
The voters know that in event a Democratic con
grcss were elected there would be no such co-opera-
ton. Much of the good accomplished thus far
would be lost. The Constructive program now well
under way would of necessity be wrecked. There
would be a deadlock" Of the entire governmental
machinery. There would follow two, years of par
alysis. The American people are not going to bring
about such a deadlock" :.
The people are further persuaded. to elect a Re
publican congress because the Democratic party
in this campaign has not offered a single ~construc-
tive policy. 1t has presented no semblance of a leg
islative program which it would attempt TO enact
in event it controlled the next congress. It has not
contributed n single constructive thought to the
campaign. Its whole attitude has been that of
petty fault-finding.
The Democrats are probably driven to such a
campaign because they are endeavoring to get
away from their position in 1920 when they insist
ed the United States should become a participant
and a partisan in the affairs Of Europe by joining
tile league of nations. The Republican party in
1870 opposed this nations becoming entangled in
ihfSlEH ledAousles II nnlllcS Events WHICH arc
TRANSPORTING in Europe today leave no doubt as 10
tile wisdom of the Republican party two years ago.
The Republican party maintains the same position
today.
In all its history, the Republican party has never
run away from its record. 1t has never in one cam
paign repudiated the issues it stood for in the pre-
yious campaign. The voters know this. They know
they can rely upon promises made by the Repub.
lican party.
They are going to return a Republican majority
in both branches of congress in order that the CON
%stractive work so well begun may be carried TO
completion.
