Editor, Powder River County Exam
ner:-I am very glad Mrs. w. H. M
Latchy has taken it upon herself to
enlighten the foolish Honkoys for
thinking they had any right to come
here and try to make home on the
land given them by Uncle Sam. They
should have stayed away and let the
cattlemen have the use Of that which
they did not own and paid nothing
for the use of. And If Mrs. McLatchy
wishes tc, see I can show her forty
acres in Powder River county not un-
der irrigation which has never failed
to raise crop and has been under
cultivation since 1915. Last year with
the dry weather and grasshoppers It
yielded IS bushels of wheat to the
acres. Will also be glad to show her
scme of the true western hospitality
she speaks of as though the oldtimer
here were the only ones that knew
anything about it.
AS for prosperity we still have It
only it is divided up with more peo-
pie. There is still plenty of cattle here
owned and fed by the owners. What
I mean when I say this county will
never be cattle country again il
that the cattlemen say themselves
that they cannot afford to buy the land
and pay taxes on it and make money
in the cattle business as they did when
the range was free. AS for WY..
| tiersmen I have nothing but the d.,
est respect but do not want to- have
my children endure the hardships and
privations the frontiersmen endured az
it is not necessary.
AS you know, Ountry has either
to progress or go backwards. 1t can
not stand still. Why shouldn't we
want the convenience and modern Inn
provements of the times? AS for the
schools the system is all right but in
| some districts where only five to seven
months school are allowed. the same
condition will be found in any state
in the Union. Thanks to the Broadus
boosters we see a change in sight
where the children can get good
high school education without leaving
the county as they have had to do
before. And who has any more right
here than those who own the land and
they certainly have a right to better
their living conditions IL they can.
After locking into the history for the
natives OF Montana I find they were
red men.
/ AS for the road I certinly do not
want to go back that way as there
WAS uOI SUCH n InlHS. IL was not
much more than a cow trail but thanks
tc, the Honyok it will be a graveled
highway with beautiful fields OF grain
and corn in. place Of sagebrush and
. prairie dogs.
, AS for knocking Powder River couu.
ty I never knew anyone to give hel
a harder one than to say EARNING II
complete failure" Satisfied people
do not progress. A pessimist N M,
an asset to a community. but one whit
does not recognise the word cant
1is an asset and that is the nature c.
! the Honyoks. and I agree when Mrs.
McLatchy says, 1T you cannot be ,
4 booster. do not be a knocker." Hurral
) for Powder River county. Doubter
should visit our county and state fair
to be convinced of an agricultural fu
!. ture.

sile the individual to combat effec- lively those influences of modern civilization which tend to restrict physical activity. The perfection of mechanical devices. the many uses of electricity, etc, all conspire to make of us a nation of button push CTS and lever pullerS. The work which was formerly done by the wig orOuS use of ''Shanks mare accom- panied by copious poison -eHminat- Ing sweat is now accomplished by stepping on the acCeleratOr. Instead of eating the natural, wholesome foods grown on the farm, many of our modern foods are prepared" The craftsman and shop worker in- stead of being called upon for a wig orouS exercise of a. wide variety of muscles must delicately adapt a small group of muscles to the particular operation of piece of machinery. In such an organization of business and industrial activity, vigorous out of-dOor sports and games become an important cOmpensating factor fur nishing not only exercise but also relaxation.
 It is apparent from what has gone before that physical education. is not to be thought of as a bag of gym naStic tricks. It must be thought of from the point of view of the raciaIly old forms of big muscle activities which are natural to any play space, to the athletic field, to the swimming pool or the old swimmin' hole, to the dancing floor, to the gymnasium with its stunt-stimulating equipment, to the open country where, indeed, there is space for any freedom of ac- tion.

 We talk a deal about Americaniza- ton. Doubtless much can be done to Americanize adult in foreigners through the medium of ideas and through social contacts; but the great conquests in Americanization must be made through the children. The playground is the living school of Ann mericanizatiOn- Here. under clean and wise adult leadership, are learn ed the lessons of fair play, respect for rules, the meaning of co-opera- tion in team play, recognition of leadership, the ideals of sportsman ship. These are learned in play and sport, and in no other way.

ALI SCHOOLS IN SOVIET
 RUSSIA SHOW INCREASE

Moscow. Dec. 23-The number of public schools in Soviet Russia shows an increase under the Soviet regime compared with pre-revolution times, according to recent announce ment of A Lunatcharsky, comnissar for education.
 During the first two years of the revolution, public education was given much attention by the Soviet government. and the number of plI-,- lie schools was brought up to 300oo with q staff of 700 teachers and 2,250 900 pupils, as compared with 9 900 scvhoIs, S2,OOo teachers and 1.S0O.o00 rupils in 1911. But in 1921. with the change of economic policy c-Td the abolition Of the non none tary system. came the first reduction of expenses in education and cur tailment of public schools. In 1922 a further numbe of schools had 10 be closed. on account of budget diffi- culties, while many schools were de- serted by their staffs owing to insult ficient and irregular pay.
 At the present time. according to the official figures. there are 230Oo schools, 4s.0o0 teachers, and 1 635 900 pU1ils- But 1928 is expected to show a decrease, for the government will place the cost of upkeep of pub lie schools upon local authorities. and these are notorfousYy short of funds.

Shut Out Children From Alien Language School

Honolulu, Dec. 23.-Approximate- ly 5000 children, mostly Japanese, now attending alien language schools in the territory, will, be compelled to cease attendance January 1, by the terms of the new school departm ent regulation which has been approved by Governor Wallace R. Harrington, according to department estimates.
 The terms provide that no child after January may attend a foreign language school until he has had at least one year of public school in struction or it's equivalent. After September l, 1923, no child may at tend a foreign school until he has had at least two years of public in struction or its equivalent. The de- partment has not estimated the num- Der of children to be affected at that time.
 The signing of the new regulation closes a controversy that had per sisted since the school department promulgated a rule abolishing the first two grades of the alien schools. Governor Harrington refused to sign that rule, and the new one provides for more gradual elimination of the first two grades of the schools
