that day being the problem of
Americanizing the foreigner in our
country. Patriotism Day." on
Tuesday, was devoted to the subject
of our contry's history, what patriot
ism means, and what our flag stands
for. Wednesday, known as Schools
and Teachers Day." was designated
for the purpose of examining our
school system, it's progress and
problems and it's needs at the pres
ent day, also to pay some attention to
teacher recruiting or the problem
of inducing the young people of to-
day to enter the teaching profession.
Thursday. "Illiteracy Day." was set
aside to call attention to the problem
of illiteracy, as there are about s.
100000 il%literates In our country to-
day, a higher percentage of Hitter
acy than any other civilized nation
on the globe has. Friday, December
Sth, was known as a day to consider
the Inequality of Educational OPP
portunity."
All American children do not have
an equal opportunity to learn to read
or write, or to attend school. City
children have an advantage over
rural school children in this respect,
and in many sections of the country
the children of the north have great
er educational opportunities than
than the children of the South. The
opportunity to learn to read and
write and attend school regularly
should be guaranteed to all American
school children irrespective of
where they may happen to live.
The last day OF Education Week,
Saturday, was set aside for the pur-
pose of calling attention to the
need for physical education and
health work. When we realize that
one-fourth of the young men called
to military service we're unfit physic-
ally for this task. and they were
supposed to be the best of our young
manhood. it is time to consider the
state of physical w%ell-being of our
growing generation, for no nation
can be stronger than the physical
w~ell-being of its people. Our in
tellectual progress goes hand in hand
with our physical development.

the churches, clubs and other organ-

THE Wind BLEW
A Blue STREAK
SATURDAY and SUNDAY MARKED BY
EXCEPTIONALLY SWIFT CROSS.
COUNTRY AIR CURRENTS

For some reason, not exactly clear
to those on the outside, our gentle
zephyrs, which come from the west
with more or less frequency, turned
into gales and whirlwinds Saturday
and Sunday as if some huge monster
with a gigantic bellows was trying to
move the entire city eastward at
least as far as Granville, as long as
the refinery refused to come here.
In the absence of wind measuring
instruments it is out of the question
to attempt to describe the sirocco
scientifically, so it will have to suf-
flee to say that it was some wind.
Aside from a few broken windows
and torn awnings, no great material
damage is reported and no real
decided upward movement in city
real estate.
The eastbound mail plane was
borne on the wings of the breeze and
is reported to have arrived here 81
seconds before it left Rock Springs.
but it is thought that this apparent
impossibility is due to a difference in
watches carried by various officers
of the mail service. Anyway the
pilot travelled fast, there is no doubt
of that.
Out at the P. & r. refinery the
wind played some strange FRANKS.
One of the big oil tanks which is be-
ing erected there had nearly all the
rivets blown out of the west side, but
enough remained to hold the tank to-
gether and the rivets were at once
replaced Monday.
A crop Of late watermelons grow
ing near Rodeo Park was severely
damaged by the wind which rolled
the melons about on the rough
ground and bumped them together
so that a large percentage will be
unmarketable. 1t is understood.
however, that the crop was protected
by the Tornado Insurance Company.
Workmen at the refinery site had
removed the side stakes from a flat
car containing a quantity of structur-
al steel preparatory to unloading.
when the five o'clock whistle blew
and put a sudden stop to operations.
The car stood broadside to the wind
and Sunday morning the steel was
found neatly piled on the ground
alongside. having been crowded off
by the wind during the night.
Several other reports have been
made of the antics of this tempest,
but all seem to agree in the essential
details. A party of four. returning
from a basket picnic in the grove at
Fort Steel Sunday tell of passing a
w~est-bound passenger train which
vas facing the wind. head on. and
they say hat Notwithstanding the
TACT hat there was smoke pouring
from the stack and the wheels going
round. the engine vas held stock
still by the force OF the breeze. Some
doubt is cast on this story by the fact
that two OF the party saw but one
engine. while the other two insist
that It was n double-header.

HaRD-B0lLED VOUCHER JAILED AFTER

The wheels of Justice were oiled up

assistance of several members of the
local police force, tried. convicted
and sentenced John Ryder for vag-
rancy and 50 the gentlemen. men
toned will spend Is days as the
unwelcome guest of the city as a
consequence of the hearing.
Several unusual features came to
light at the trial, which seem to in
dictate that "mooching" is taking its
cue from other lines and that those
who become real artists in panhand-
ling adopt wholesale methods leaving
the retail end of the business to old
men, cripDles and the smaller fry
generally. The defendant in this ac-
ton. who was arrested by Officer
Neske, is but 81 years of age and to
all appearances strong and healthy.
He appeared in court clad in warm,
heavy clothes. including overcoat and
tall Attic overshoes.
Despite this appearance of ma
terial prosperity he vas charged with
begging and incidentally with being

making threats. 1t might be men
toned as proving something or other
that he had accumulated Sab.
which was found on his person when
arrested, in less than one-quarter the
time h a it would take an honest
w~orkingman to earn that amount.
Justice Dunlap read the complaint
to Ryder. who seemed overcome with
ennui and decidedly bored by the
whole proceeding, and asked him to
plead, which he did promptly by
answering guilty" This cut off the
introduction of evidence which was
present in the person of a merchant
to whom Ryder had told n harrow
ing tale of hunger and after being
refused aims added: Somebody's

MANY SIGNATURES NEEDED
TO VALIDATE CITY WATER
BONDS FOR DENVER BANKS

Four hundred and ninety beauti-
fully engraved water bonds were re
ceived by the city of Rawlins during
the latter part of the week to be
signed by three city officials and re-
turned to the Bankers Trust Com
pany of Denver, the sole buyer of the
bonds, who will turn over to Mayor
kell, or some authorized representa-
tive of the city the sum of $490, 900
upon delivery at the Denver head
quarters of the institution.
This money will be spent by the
city on the construction of a new and
modern water system, which will de-
liver the pure, cold water from Sage
and Beaver creek springs to the
homes and business places of Raw
Inns, so hat n year from today in
all probability it will be safe to step
to the water tap and drink long and
deep of city water without the secret
fear that ones innards will become
~encrusted and corroded by free alkali
and other nonessential chemicals.
1t was necessary for City Clerk
Methudy to sign each bond twice and
also to affix the city seal, which task
he accomplished Friday night by
burning the midnight oil. Then came
City Treasurer Gertrude II. Merrell's
turn and she also had to sign each
bond in two places, making $50
signatures, besides which she must
enter each in the city bond book and
take oath that this has been done.
Finally DR.. Kell was called upon to
perform a similar feat of chirog-
raphy, only he got off easier, having
to sign his name but once on each
bond.

him prominently to the attention OF
the police in a few minutes.
Anyway the justice asked a few
questions merely to assist in determ-
lining the length of Mr.. Ryder's va

answers to these questions that he
had landed here stony broke but
that he got busy at once on what
might be called a hunger strike. He
struck one man for a 5 and got it
on the hunger plea, but he was too

officers. On second thought he may
