FORMER RESIDENT OF CITY
DEDICATES VERSE TO NEPHEW

"The Fondest Memory is the
title of the poem written by Charles
w. Stephenson and dedicated to his
nephew George Rawlins Stephenson,
the young son OF George Stephen
son. Of this city.
Charles Stephenson was formerly
a resident of Rawlins and has many
friends in this city who will be in
terested in the following verse:
THE FONDEST MEMORY
SHAY" Watson said to me one day,
Twas many years ago,
There's a memory in my heart, old
friend
That sends 1t all aglow.
IT'S the memory of a circumstance
Enjoyed with little son.
I'll tell you what it was, old man,
How life's great race is won.
One starry night when summers
song
Was settling DER the farm.
My boy and l hoped off the porch
And started to the barn.
His heart was filled with loving trust
Reflected in each smile;
He slipped his little hand in mine
And left it there a while.
Old boy, we've known life's lesser
thrills,
We've sat in school rooms, dear
And waited for vacations rush
With all its joy and cheer.
We've won our scraps with gamey
fish
And jreked them on the shore;
Good shots we've made on fleeting
game;
We've heard vast pillows roar.
I've felt possessions glowing pride
In buildings, stock, and land;
Vast fields, rich crops all life's
sought wealth.
Are mine on every hand.
There's comfort in my peaceful
home
When days hard work is done;
There's bliss in realizing that
Lies battle has been won.
But the richest, deepest, heart thrill
l have felt Throughout tiny life,
The strongest stimulation l have
known
Came with memory of that pressure
Through hours Of strife,
Came with memory of that pressure
OF a tiny, loving hand;
That hand clasp with my little son,
oh memory, holy-grand.

One Too Many Mates
Results in Disaster

Girls II you must marry-marry
'em one at a time and be certain
that you r legally freed from one
before contracting to love, honor
and obey another"-thus runs the
advice handed down from the bench
by Justice of the Peace E. r. Wat
Son at the close Of a rather argu.
mentative session last Monday after
noon. The Solomonic utterance
from the lips of the local J.. P. came
as the result OF some confusing and
at times spectacular testimony in
troduced in the matter of The State
of Wyoming VS.. Mildred Wana-
maker and Ralph Miller. defendants.
Mildred and Ralph were charged
with adultry by K. Wanamaker, a
husband of Mildred who objected to
the intrusion of Ralph into the fam.
lily circle.
After the turmoil had subsidized
and things had quieted down - in
other words after those testifiying
had ceased addressing their remarks
to each other and addressed them
to the judge-the following situa-
ton came to light.
Ralph Miller, whose right name
seems to be Ralph Royce, married
Mildred Royce Wanamaker years
& down in Missouri. They moved
to Topeka Kansas. In Topeka the
then Mrs. Royce was or was not di-
vorced from Ralph-it all depends
how one interprets the testimony

that they never we're X. Wana-
maker indicated that he was given
to understand hat they were. In
March of this year X. Wanamaker
and Mrs. Royce came out to Chey-

Mildred returned Husband Mum
Der Two his ring and went to live
with Husband Number One in a
local rooming house. Husband
No. Two took the matter up with
the city police and the couple were
arrested Sunday and charged with
adultry.
Upon being acquainted with the
complaint in the ]. P. Court Monday
morning both defendants plead not
guilty to the charge on the grounds
that they were married and had a
perfect right to live as man and
wife.
The woman was given ninety days
in the woman's ward OF the county

five days-which sentence was sus
pended on condition that he leave

Railroad Earnings
Are Not Guaranteed
1

A common impression exists that railroad earn
ings are in some way guaranteed by the Govern
ment- This is not a fact.
The railroads were paid for the Federal Control
period a fixed rental and were given an option for
continuance of this basis for six months thereafter.
This arrangement expired August 81, 1920, since .
Chtch tame nothing even resembling a guarantee
has been IN effect.
Under the Constitution a railroad has always
been entitled to earn a fair return upon its proper
ty devoted to the public use, the percentage which
constituted such fair return being a question for
determination by the court.
The transportation act says:
I'm the exercise of its power to prescribe Just and rea-
s %, . rates, rate, , the Commission ~u, shall ana:r no,o adjust nst,c such
and economical management earn an aggregate an
S s to . q a fair return upon the Sssresaie value" Of the eon-
the transportation needs Of the country and the necessity
Of eniarging such ABILITIES in order to provide the
people OF the United States with adequate transportation"
For the two years ending March l, 1922, such
fair return was fixed at 6 per cent. Since then it
has been reduced by the Commission to $3.50.
In no year however have the railroads secured
the fair return contemplated by the Act, as the
following will show:
Year Percentage Actually Earned
i IS: Il
1t is entirely clear, therefore, that the lac in no
sense guarantees the earnings of the railroads. If
it did, the Government would owe the railroads
more than a billion dollars for deficits in 1920,
1921 and 1922.
Since January l, 1928, the earnings of the rail
roads as whole have been better than for the same
period in any Of the three preceding years, but the
rate of return is still lower than the Interstate
Commerce Commission has prescribed as reason
able.
The Transportation Act has not been the cause
of increases in railroad rates. One of the authors
of the Act has said:
Rates have advanced simply because the cost OF main
war days while railroad rates: taken as a whole h arc now
srnment took over the railroads at tho beginning of the

This was the answer today of

the customs division, said today.
IAN act Of Congress or the pro-
mitigation of simple regulation is
not sufficient to extend the three

Unless these rum runners are

How to Train for
Bicycle Racing
GEARING AND CARE OF
BICYCLE.

Most riders are interested in trying
to find out the gear of various wheels
that they examine. Here is little
advice on gearing. 1t is commonly
supposed that the highe. the gear the
greater the speed Of the bicycle. While
to certain degree this is true, it
must be remembered that a higher
gear requires greater pedal pressure
at every stroke, with the result that
the rider wearies more quickly than
with moderately low gear, where the
amount of power required for each
stroke is very much less and, although
the rider must pedal faster to attain
the speed of n higher gear. the total
amount of energy used is less. With
the low gear much faster distances
can be ridden with less fatigue, and
hills can be climed easier.
Your gear should not be higher than
"A. A gear of 6S or 20 would be
better, while 1-2-inch cranks are
more suitable than Z inches. If your
present gear is too high. say 81, you
can lower it by fitting rear sprocket
with one more tooth than the one you
are now using. Any repair shop win
make this change and the cost will
not be more than half dollar. You
will know that your gear is 81 ii the
front sprocket has 2S teeth and the
rear Q. By putting a 10 in place of
o gear, Y As is obtained gear
which is used by all fast riders. The
gear of any bicycle may be obtained
by the following formula: Multiply
the number of teeth on the front
sprocket BY the diameter of the rear
wheel, and divide the result By the
number of teeth oil the rear sprockct.
Much care should be used towards
keeping your bike 'ree from grit and
CRIME. If much riding is done your
mount should be taken apart and thor
oughly cleaned and new grease put in
every couple of months. Don't kid
yourself into thinking you are born
mechanic. for you can DE- more damage
in five minutes than you can repair
in five hours. Take our bike to n
cycle store, where there re men that
know how to clean ard adjust your
machine. The low cost makes it eco
nomical in the long run.
