"Mr. Frank Hadsell. warden OF
the state penitentiary at Rawlins,
sends US the following story" says
the Cody Enterprise.
The story dn question Is a hum
dinger and VI can't resist passing
1t on:
Recently an inmate asked to inter-
view the warden. On coming to the
bars he said, "Mr. Warden, I have
Just received word that my wife is
seriously ill-sick nigh unto death
and II I could get back some of the
good time that you have taken from
me I might get home before it is too
late"
The warden said, my man, I have
Just heard from your wife and she is
in her usual good health and says
that she doesn't ever want too look
upon your face again"
Warden. may 1 talk to you as
man to man instead of prisoner to
Warden?"
Certainly, ease your mind"

of the damnest liars on record, I
never had a wife"

At oxford the rowing crew is
allowed to drink wines and beer and
altho the 8 of cigarettes is dis
couraged 1t is not absolutely for

puffs are taboo and woe to the Eng

this delicious delicacy.
Yet English athletes compare fav-
orably with the athletes Of any other

Howcome?
Back in Philadelphia they have
found a new use for high powered
hootch.
One hundred and twenty barrels,
seized in raids. were poured out in
front of the Federal Prohibition
storage house for the purpose of
melting the snow.
Its a cinch the SNOW VS. melted
and II that hootch was as fiery as
some that filtered into Rawlins in
days gone by there is a probability
hal the aforesaid liquor not only
melted the snow, but set 1t afire as
well.
One certainly has to watch his
step these days.
Up in the north end of the state
a man was arrested for living with
his own wife. OF course the charge
was that of living with a woman not
his wife but, when the accused
sprang a certificate OF marriage,
dated back a year and a half, the
case of The State of Wyoming etc.

Moral: Paste your certificate of

90 up the Hudson river in the large

At Nyack the route was taken west
erly to Suffern, N. Y, a city of 5000
inhabitants, a short distance above the
New Jersey line.
The run was made southerlv to
Pompton, N. j., then westerly to New
FoundIand On this route the State
Highway Commission is building a
new road by digging out the side of a
mountain and filling ravines, also new
concrete bridges. This road will be on
one side of the railroad to take the
place of a road which followed an old
Indian trail and crossed the railroad
twice. One strip Of about three miles
will cost more than 100000.
From Pompton the tour was south
erulv to Boonton Parsippany, Nor
ristown, Bernardville, Somerville. Belle
Mead to Princeton. Many miles of
new concrete road are being built on
this route and bridges reconstructed.
Thru Passaic, Morris and Somerset
Counties much of the forty million
road bonds will be spent for tourist
roads. rather than commercial high
ways.
The argument put forth is that if
New Jersey makes fine tourist roads,
that section will be travelled more.
The increasing population in New
York and adjoining cities need good
road outlets so that more will build
homes in the country region and there
by increase valuations. Commuters
IS miles distant in New York State
go to New York City to do business.
If more can be led to settle thru the
now country districts of North Jersey
by the building of concrete roads a
greatly increased valuation will be
made.

SEEKING FOR A PLAN

Edward w. Box, whom it was re-
ported was the hundred thousand dol
lar editor of the Ladies Home Journal,
before he resigned, has offered that
amount for peace plan TO be adopted
by the Nations. The first plan which
was ever adopted was the League of
Nations plan formulated by Woodrow
Wilson, similar to the Articles of Con-
federation for the first union program
for the thirteen American colonies.
-Four years have passed for Mr..
Harding's "best minds to make a
better one.
1t is TO be seen if Bok's bribe can
produce a better one.
In ancient times there were some
nations who sought for a sign and
they We're told there would be none ex-
cept the sign of Jonah, being cast out
of the whales belly.
The partisan enemies of Wilson
seeketh for plan other than the
League of Nations, with the hope that
100000 will buy brains enough to
produce it. Some people have the idea
if by putting money in peoples pocket
they can put brains in their head.

SEC. MELONS ALUMINIUM
TRUST AGAIN UNDER FIRE

Charges that the Aluminium Com
pany of America, in which Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon is large in
fiuence, is attempting by illegal prac-
tees to perfect its practical monopoly
of the aluminium industry, have been
made by the Federal Trade Commits
sion in an action it has instituted in
the Federal Court of Appeals at Phil
seeks an injunction restraining the
Aluminium Company from consummat-
ing certain transactions designed to
make its grip on the industry more
complete than heretofore.
This is the second time the Federal
Trade Commission has moved to curb
this powerful trust. In previous at
tack the Commission sought its dis
memberment, and in 1921 obtained an
order of court directing the combina-
ton to "unscramble" itself. In the
face of these proceedings by the Fed
eral Trade Commission the Company
obtained from the Republican Con-
gress in 1922 a tariff of 40 per cent
on certain of its products and duty
of 72 per cent on table and kitchen
ware.
According to President Davis of the
Aluminium Company of America, its
earnings for the ten years ended De
cenber 81. 1920, have averaged more
than $10,0OO,000 annually. This was
after deduction for interest, taxes, de-
pletion, depreciation, etc. The com.
panys capital stock was S18,729, SOC
and its surplue $92, ,153 1861 on July 81

JOHNNY APPLESEED

This rhyme sings Johnny Appleseed
by whom the wilds were apple treed.
The settler and the pioneer, they call
ed him cracked, they called him queer
He left the settlement behind him,
the wild beasts saw but did not mind
him, and only Indians could find him.
A bag upon his back he bore of apple
seed and apple core. His frame yet
stout, he legged it timber, the seeds
he carried through the wood. each one
prayer God understood. When seed
lings sprang up far and near, he fenc
ed them from the wandering deer.
The man was old, his eye was dim,
along the frontiers utmost rim. the
fruit he stuck was not for him. But
when the settlers westward breaking,
found new land rich and free for TAX
ing, yea, there amid the forest covers
bloomed apple blossoms for young
lovers. We know not where he closed
his eyes, nor where our votive stone
should rise. Sure somewhere in the
forest dim, like one of old, God buried
him. What does it matter, 0 my
brothers, where lies his bones who
lived for others? Wherever orchards
blossom bonny, thee stands a monu-
ment to Johnny.-Bob Adams.

THE FREEHOLDERS TOUR
Travel Is Educational By Learnin!
What Others Do

After viewing the construction of
Penn-Fenwick bridge, now being built
at Camden, the Salem Freeholders
toured in automobiles to Trenton. A
detour was made to Kingston because
the road from Trenton to Princeton
is being reconstructed with concrete.
The road was then good to Newark.
On Friday morning the BaTatt
Plant, on the Hudson river, above Jer-
sey City, was viewed. The tar refuse
from the coke and gas plants in the
large adjoining cities are there dis
titled into tar products. Some is used
to make paints and roofing material
and others are used to put on roads
1t is amazing the number of different
chemicals which are distilled from the
tar which runs from coal when gas is
made. They are not only useful com
mercial products but medicinal and
ornamental. Benzol is a gaseous
product which is being mixed with
gasoline to make more powerful ex-
ploslons in automobiles.
L. E. Andrews, Division Engineer
of the State Highways under construc-
ton in North eJrsey, piloted the party
over the highways-and they were
high-On top of the Palisades which
form the west bank of the Hudson
river The tour extended thru New
York State along Bear Mountain thru
West Point military reservation to
NeWburgh.
1t is wonderful to see what New
York State has done to make roads
in the side of the rocky mountains
where the river is fifty feet below and
the top of the mountains is hundred
feet above. The roads were made
principally for tourists who spend
enough to meet the living expenses
of hundreds of food and lodging fur
nishers.
The rain and dense fog hindered the
wonderful scenery in a distance.
Newburg was one of Washington's
headquarters during the Revolution.
In the old building is a State museum
with a park in front. A monumental
tower of granite has been erected near
the river In the four corners are
inches in which are statues of revo-
lutionary soldiers. Old cannon are on
the first floor from which a stairway
leads to a scenic floor above

On the cove between the bridge and
the railroad which runs along the
brink of the Hudson river. far below
