GIVES VILLAGE TO MAN

MANVILLE, Wyo., May 9.-Drear-
ieness of Wyoming's hcmesteads is
not troubling Emmett C. Hathaway
whose homestead application for the
southwest quarter of Section 25-36-65
near Lance Creek. has been allowed

A little village said to have beer
erected through efforts of the West.

and may take his choice of attending
the village movie, playing pool in the

But Hathaway is facing some diff.
ficulties. The Western States COM

tract. The Western tSates company

LONDON WOMEN ARE
CIGARETTE F|ENDS

LONDON, May l0.--Tne anti-cig'
arctic campaign In England has re-
crved h big impetus through an ad-
mission in the courts that one nun
dred cigarettes a week Is the average
consumption of women In ordinarily
good social position.
Hut the best authorities state that
this is an underestimate. Cigarette
manufacturers say that great num-
bcrs OF women smoke two and three
times this amount.
"We have n large number OF wont
en- on our books who have placed
regular orders for q supply of three
hundred n week, states one of the
est-known firms OF tobacco dealers
In London, "But the ordinary woman
smokes at least one hundred weekly
"Then we have one hundred ana
fifty TO two hundred and fifty women
TO whom we regularly supply cigars
The average order is twenty week
For u woman to smoke three or four
cigars daily Is nothing at the present
time.
,''ln addition to these. we have be-
tween two hundred and three hum
tlred women who are confirmed pipe
smokers Their average consumption
works out at u half pound n month,
For these We have invented u spe-
cial pipe with stem than can be
heightened,
pipes are usually smoked In the
country, or when the smokers are at
home reading. Women mostly prefer
the finecut tobaccos but we have
lntely had n big demand for the
coarser blends. Shell briars are the
pipes mainly In request
British women no longer ask for
scented cigarettes, and the Russian
variety has entirely gone out OF fa-
vor But they all like mild tobacco
delicate aroma. Moreover, we have to-
take special precaution that teeth do
not get discolored.
when woman first comes to usI
we ask her whether her sense of taste
or small IL the more acute. Then we
have to blend accordingly. Some to-
yncco we have TO blend solely for
smell.
I'VE have three thousand and four
teen different blends on our books.
Fifty per cent OF these are for wom-
ep."

OF PEACE

The ingenuity with which the tremend-
GUS amount of war paraphernalia has been
converted into peace-time uses is as IN
teresting as it is admirable. The spirit, II
not the letter, of the Bible injunction about
swords and ploughshares has been carried
out to an extreme degree.
Bomb-proof guards used in the war
for the protection of soldiers In the
trenches are now doing duty as efficient
storehouses for dangerous explosives like
dynamite and TINT. War motor ambu-
lances are being used in several instances
to carry convicts to work outside the prison
walls. In one case in New Jersey, clever
device has been installed in a powerful
motor for the purpose of whitewashing
poles along highways for the benefit OF
motorists. Much pipe used in the war has
been turned over to peaceful employment.
The portable bridges belonging to war
equipment also have been put to good use
and reinforced to withstand long rather
than temporary wear.
It is not the American way to stack
away this vast amount of war implements
against future conflict. The supplies
were made to meet grim need, and they
met it. Now that the war is
over, this equipment is being put to i'm
mediate use in far different but quite as
important pursuits, in a sane and practical
manner quite in keeping with the progress
sve American spirit

UNMAKING THE CITIES

Charles A. Coffin, one of the foremost
of modern electricians, declares that the
development of electric power has made
the city, and that further development will
go on to unmake it. Electricity is making it
possible to take the city to the country,
where there is pure air to breathe and
good food obtainable without the cost of
transportation. Instead of transporting
coal, or using it to transport food products,
the coal can be turned into electricity at
the mines and thus be converted into
''fueP' which will do it's own travelling at
the rate of $4,000 miles second.
If electricity can bring the social and
educational advantages as well as con-
veniences to the country, no motive is left
for living in crowded sections The disease
and unrest incident to congested living
conditions may thus become thing of the
past, thanks to the application of this
cheap and efficient power.
Certainly complex and hurried life in
the large cities has reached such a stage
that it must soon turn again toward simp-
Ter and more healthful lines The home
has been almost crowded out of the lives
of city jewellers. If electricity is to be the
means of bringing back something of the
normalness and wholesomness of life in the
open country spaces, as Mr.. Coffin pre-
diets, it will have performed no mean func-
ton in bringing happiness to mankind.

A RAILROAD ANNIVERSARY

An anniversary significant in railroad
annals was recently celebrated when the
famous Twentieth Century Limited run
ming in record time between New York
and Chicago closed the twentieth year of
its service. In June, 1902, the Limited was
dubbed ''the train which made Chicago a
suburb of New York." and it carried 81
passengers on it first trip. Today the train
has increased its service to the extent of
two, and sometimes three, sections daily,
each carrying from eight to ten cars, in
stead of five cars of former days. The
cost of the modern Pacific" locomotive
on the Twentieth Century is almost four
times that of the first engine, or more than
half that of the entire train on the first
trip.
The tremendous increase in the patron
age of this cross-country limited is i'm
portant in demonstrating the large number
of travellers between east and west. A
trip across the continent is no longer a
matter of wonder and great preparation,
but has become customary among not a
few individuals. The rapid transit of
newspapers aids in the unifying in thought
and opinion widely separated districts
of the country. Provincialism in the United
States is coming to be thing of the past.

MENTAL HYGIENE

There are persons who scot at the freak
tests which were made in the military
service and which are being used by
many large employers of labor. These
tests had their place in determining the
fitness of soldiers, and they still perform a
service for some employers.
The National Committee for Mental
Hygiene, realizing the value of normal
mentality in industry, has undertaken to
direct the study of the subject as it per-
tains to industrial and business life. The
problem of the industrial foreman is to
place men in work that will prove best
for themselves and their employer
Psychiatry, the term applied to mental
hygiene, goes farther than psychology in
that it undertakes to solve the problems of
the troublesome employee by helping him
make adjustments so that he may be a
good workman and a useful member of
society.
Many men, untitled temperamentally for
the work in which they are at present en-
gagged, find themselves lacking in the men
tai satisfaction that should come from en-
ployment to which they are best adapted.
Psychiatry attempts to overcome the hand
leaps of the individual and direct his
mind in way that would develop the
best that is in him.
The mental attitude Of person toward
his employment will determine his success
or failure. The matter is more deeply
rooted than mere like or dislike, and the
tests provided by the system known as
psychiatry undertake to discover the real
difficulty and remove it.

A QUESTION ANSWERED

We have talked with good many mer-
chants in the past, and among them we
have struck several who frankly stated
that they started to advertise once but it
didn't pay as they figured it would, SO
they became discouraged and quit AL
ways they've asked the reason, and al
ways it was hard to make them under
stand, to convince them exactly why their
advertising failed. But now comes Her
bert Casson, well-known writer and pub
licity expert, with an article in an east
ern magazine which seems to answer the
question. He says:
"The man who runs an ad, no matter
how convincing it is, and then stops at
salemanship in the store, isn't going to
get his moneys worth from the advertis-
ment Neither is the man who runs one
ad, who makes sudden loud noise and
then drops into dead silence. That kind
of man sends his advertising up like sky
rocket is seen for moment and for
gotten. The wise advertiser follows up
the first ad with another and then still
more and, like lighthouse his ads stand
there to guide the public, and their lights
some people fact two or three times be-
fore they will believe it.
"After all, advertising is only sowing
the seed. After the soil and the sun and
the rain have done their best, then comes
the harvesting. You must reap, and stack
and thresh, and bag and sell. And also
you must remember that the other man will
get the business if you don't ask for ii"

BONUS BILL
THAT WAS VETOED

Benefits of the soldier bonus bill,
which finally was passed by Con-
gress Fritay, are available to every
person up to grade of captain in
the army and marine corps and
lieutenant in the navy who served
more than sixty days in the armed
forces of the United States between
April 5, 1917, and July l, 1919.
Service must have begun prior to
November II, 1918.
The adjusted service credit is
based on 81 day for service at
home and $1.25 day overseas,
with limit of the base credit of
$500 for home service and $625
where there was overseas duty.
Those whose credit does not exceed
$50 will be paid cash. Others have
choice of three options, as fol-
lows:
I. Adjusted service certificate of
face value of 125 per cent of the
base credit, plus interest at the. rate
of Az per cent for twenty years.
At the end of twenty years, when
the certificate is redeemable, it will
be worth 3.015 times the base
credit. The certificate shall be dated
January /, 1928. A vetaran may
borrow on his certificate from a
bank during the first three years
and then from the Government.
2. Home or farm aid: If a
veteran selects this option the Gov
eminent will finance him in the pur-
chase of a home or farm to the
extent of 1875 per cent of his base
credit.
3. Vocational training: The
Government under this option will
aid vetaran in obtaining vocational
training to the extent of 140 per
cent of his base credit.
To avail himself of the benefits
of this bill, a veteran must make
application not later than January
/, 1928.

HE NEVER STRIKES

Sec. Wallace, Of the Department of
Agriculture, did real public service re-
Gently when he emphasized the need Of all
elements stopping their pickering and turn
ing to production. He called attention to
the farmer, who has many tough experien-
ces, yet never goes on strike against that
tough luck, against the public or against
anything else The farmers of America,
and especially some ranchmen we know
of around Winnemucca have had pretty
tough run Of luck for the past several
seasons. They did not get big prices be-
fore the war, and they are not getting
big prices now. They were the first to
feel defation. They get low prices for
what they sell and then see their product
multiply in price until others grow rich.
They could reduce production to meet their
own needs and let the rest of the people
hustle for what they want, but they don't.
They just keep on going. And their re-
fusal to strike keeps the whole world alive
while the other fellows do the striking.
