MEASURE MUST BE PERFECT
Why Precise Degree of Accuracy Has
TO Be Maintained in So-called
Standard Bars.

For most of us the knowledge that
meter is 337 inches longer than a
ward is quite sufficient We must
know as much as thai, because the
metric system Of measures is so wide
Iy employed that one constantly finds
It necessary 10 turn meters into feet
or yards But the rrinements Of
modern science demand q far higher
degree of accuracy in measurement
than is perhaps ever dreamed of in
the ordinary walks Of life. The pains
taken to obtain precise standards Of
measure are almost beyond belief of
one who is not familiar with scien-
tifc methods.
Everyone knows that so-called
standard" bars. on which the exact
length of the yard and the meter are
marked are In the possession of the
governments Of the United States.
Great Britain. France and other coun-
tries. hut everyone does not know
with what care these standards have
been compared and with what pa
tlcnce they have been mlnutely meas

WAY
BlOtting Paper Is Capable of
Absorbing Water

Every body knows that II piece OF
blotting paper is dipped edgewi~e into
q saucer of water tie water will climb
up the paper 10 height OF some
inches above the surface. but few can
tell the reason it does so.
Capillary attraction is the name for
this power which causes water To rise
in an absorbent substance. and the
battling part Of il is its apparent sim
plicity.
This is just one Of those natural puz-
zles that our greatest scientists can
NOT solve-yet Its real nature is no
more understood than is the real ma
turc Of electricity.
But although We do not know what
1t is, capillary attraction is most
useful force. II holds the uk in a
pen nib and in a fountain pen by its
aid the melted wax in the little crater
round candle-hame rises in the wick
to keep the candle burning So. TOO,
the liquid flows up the wick Of an oil
or spirit lamp.
Were it not for this force, clothes
would become bone dry" directly they
were lifted out Of the water \
great many Of the automatic Iubrica-
tors for UiIlng machinery depend en-
tirely on capillary attraction for their
action; and sponge retains the water
in its pores by the same means.
Capillary attraction has been suc-
gested as means Of atrainiu- prrpci-
ual motion. and some very mgouiurS $
devices have been put forward An.
however. have been proven futile hy
the laws Of mechanics.
Finally 1t is owing 10 capilIurity that
soil is able to retain large part of
the moisture il receives as rain, thH
preventing the country from becoming
an arid desert.

with scarlet fever when a very small
child, his parents say.
He was brought to Sheridan Mon
day for the opening services of the
healing mission conducted by the
Episcopal clergy of Wyoming and the
Rev. Mr.. Bell.
Seven other children were brought
forward to the chancel railing and
were helped.
The Rev. Mr.. Bell said that the in
vocation of the healing presence for
children never had been unsuccessful,
to his knowledge.
Three crutches were left at the al
tar Of st. Peters church Tuesday ev-
ening and their former owners walked
down the chancel rail and back to
their seats without material assistance
as the result of the healing ministra-
tons of the Rev. Robert G. H. Bell,
who had laid his hands on them and
prayed. About 40 ailing people re-
sponded to the Rev. Mr.. Bells invita-
ton to come forward, and many were
helped. Three who assembled the
steps with crutches returned without
them. Several recovered their hearing
and n mar was healed of rheuma-
tism.
At the close of the sermon he asked
that all afflicted people come forward,
and pray with him. Forty thronged
to the altor steps. Attended by the
other Episcopal clergymen present,
he laid his hands on them and prayed.
The crowd, packed in the pews, and
standing along every wall of the
church, audibly gasped when cure aft
er cure apparently was effected and
people walked down from the altar
in possession of their normal powers.
A man in the last stages of tuber-
culosis arose from his bed when the
Rev. Robert G.. H. Bell laid his hands
on him and prayed. during the min
ister's visit to the shut-ins Thursday
morning. A nan eighty years old re-
covered his hearing and a little child
also had the use of his ears restored.
Many others were materially helped
and great enthusiasm aroused in all
who witnessed the cures.
Manw apparent cures were. effected
at the healing meeting at the st.
Peters Episcopal church Wednesday
evening. More than 60 supplicants
suffering from bodily ills iocked to
the altar and knelt in prayer while
the clergymen put their hands upon
them and asked for the restoration of
normal facilities.

Mr.. Hogg, who is Familiarity known
to his friends as "Ted," is one of the
old time stockmen of this section who
has listened to the call of the city,
having located in Denver where he
organized the Colorado Discount Cor
poration, a thriving financial organi-

high class mercantile paper, loans and
real estate investments. They are
also interested in the developmnt of
the industries of the new town of Mid

Rev. J. A. Afford of Powell ad-
dressed the fathers upon Your Rating
as a Dad and covered the subject in
a thorough and entertaining manner.
The glee club sung "The Black
smith" and an encore.
"a 100 Per Cent Son." was the
theme allotted to the Rev. j. II. Wal
ter, who in a stirring address to the
sons urged them to ways of clean
living and clean thinking.
The Rev. Carl v. Brown used the
theme "a Moment of Decision" for
the closing address, making a plea to
fathers and sons alike to aim for high
ideals and a better understanding and
good fellowship.
After the banquet the majority of
the guests accepted the generous in
vitation of William Loewer to view
the pictures of Buffalo Bill and scenes
around Cody, Shoshone Canyon, yell

Cody Stampede. The Temple was

POWELL TEAM TOO
MUCH FOR CODY

The Cody High School football
team lost to Powell on Armistice Day
by a score of 3S to g.
The game was hrrd for~ht from
start to finish, both tennis doin~ their
best to score, and fighting hard to
achieve victory.
The first half started off with the
Cody team carrying the pigskin across
the line for 4 touchdown after only
a few minutes of play, but after the
Powell team had been strengthened
by the addition of their best first team
men, the Cody boys were unable to
score again.
The score does not show the real
merit in the playing of the Cody boys,
who played as hard at the last min
ute of the play as in the first half, and
displayed true grit and determination
in the face of almost certain defeat.
Noonan, as usual. played q strong
game. He is conceded by every team
against whom Cody has played to be
the best and fastest quarterback in
the entire Basin.
Powell has the strongest team in
the Basin league. and it is n credit
to the Cody team to have scored
against them. "

beams have been rounded off and
gnawed as though a colony of beavers

Fort Collins and neighboring towns
are experiencing the greatest excite
ment known in Colorado since the
early days of gold mining booms. Au-
tomobiles Blu the hundreds, loaded
with spectators, farmers, business
men and others, are visiting the scene
from Cheyenne, Laramie, Fort Col
Inns, Greeley, Wellington, Denver and
scores of other cities within a radius
of 100 miles. There has been an al
most continuous parade from Denver.
Sherman estimated that 5000 visited
the well Tuesday. If that figure is
correct, at least 15,000-as many as
there are in Cheyenne-probably will
be there next Sunday. Hotels in FIT.
Collins report scores of kilograms ask
ing for reservations for oil experts
and oil company officials who are ex-
pected to reach hat city within a few
days from all parts of the country.
The third night of the most hectic
week of its existence found the usual
ly quiet town of Wellington throbbing
with excitement and teeming with ru-
mors. The vomiting of the natural
gas, in plain view of the villagers, and
the racket have turned the place top
sy turvy. 1t has reache the point
where every stranger is a potential
oil scout and every section whiting
10 miles is a possible rival of the null
ti-million dollar Salt Creek school sec
ton in Wyoming.
With the pressure of the gas as. it
comes from the casing figured at from
1000 to 5000 pounds uer square inch,
the difficulties that will be encounter
ed before the hole may be capped and
the product turned to commercial
uses is readily apparent. The power
by which the fluid is being forced
from the ground is almost meal
culable. When the Gaping finally is
achieved, the Union will move the der
rick to a nearby site and start drilling
another well. The proposed location
of the secon hole is a matter of mus
terry. Some observers think it will be
close to this weird and ever-increas-
ing outpouring, while others say it
will be on a smaller dome at a point
two miles northeast of Fort Collins.
