Raid Clothes Line

GREYBULL. wyo.. April 21.-If
the Bible is correct in its ruling,
some unprincipled biped whose home
Is Greybull by mistake, has lessened
his or her chances of successfully
ascending the golden stairs to the
extent of having two lines full of
clothes marked up against them.
Mrs. James Ryan awoke one morning
to find that her entire washing with
the exception of the underwear had
been taken from the line during the
night n the clothes pins placed in
a neat pile by tho aggravating
offender. 1t is possible that the
petty thief saw the clothes hanging
there and took them in for fear some
other niger might come along and
steal them. but II such is not the
case tho enriched party will never
benefit by his or her strategy as they
will no doubt feel so small that none
of the clothes will mt. 1t will not be
a comfortable feeling to venture out
in a stolen garment to have the
suspicious eye of the owner give you
the once over and probably call a
cop and have the garment removed
on the main thoroughfare and then
have your name paraded as a shirt
thief.

DIMINISHED WHEAT


The Government forecast of the
smallest winter wheat crop since
1918 reflects the unfavorable
weather of last fall and winter.
Conditions on the plains have been
extremely poor; over a large part
of Nebraska, Kansas, the Texas
Panhandle, New Mexico, Colorado
and Wyoming the estimated con-
dition of winter wheat falls below
65 per cent.
Weather does not bear all the
blame for the probability that this
years crop will be some 1900, 900
bushels less than the average pro-
duction for the last ten years. Part
of the falling off is the work of
the wheat farmer himself and not
af the elements. The ground sown
to winter wheat last fall was about
100000 acres less than that sown
in the fall of 1921 and almost
1000, 900 acres less than that sown
in the fall of 1p1s.
The truth is that some millions
VI dNItH nave btGll d"DhiluOlGu ia
the last four years because the
wheat farmer has found that win
ter wheat on the least profitable
portion of the land given to this
crop no longer paid.
On many lands marginal profit
has been entirely wiped out. In
1918 the average farm value of the
yield of winter wheat per acre wa
$3.50; in 1919 it was S27,4s; in
1920, s19.5s; in 1921, $11.s1. TIC
put the same case another way, the
average farm value per bushel OF
winter wheat in 1918 was S2.04,
in 1919 it was S2.14; in 1920,
SLAB; in 1921, 500.
Whether the weather favors him
or not, the farmer is not likely to
continue to sow ground from which
he cannat reap more than what his
seed and time and labor cost him
So long as the value of a bushel OF
wheat at the farm continues to be
below what the individual farmer
has a right to expect, just so lonl
shall we see the wheat acreage o.
this country shrink.

"THOSE WHO PASS BY"

The Good Samnritans of the
world are none too numerous
There are just as many kind-heart-
ed, charitable persons alive today
as there ever were; more, 1t is
quite likely. But the Good Samar-
itan who stopped on the road from
Jerusalem to Jericho to pick up
the poor mar who had fallen upon
evil times was an individualist. To-
day many charitable organizations
some what limit the amount of good
which can be done by the individ-
ual. But when the charitable or
Eanization fails, the modern road
to Jericho is indeed heavy travelling
for the man who is out of luck.
Joe Preston, who works with "a
gang for one of the local compa-
MES" calls the following facts to
the attention of the Tribune. In
a letter dated April 10Th, he says:
"In tonight's Tribune we read
Man run over by auto receiving
badly crushed foot. He was taken
to the CITY JAIL for treatment,
the County Hospital refusing to ac-
cept him because he had not been
here long enough
mo free treatment in our county
to a strangerl In my gang work
ing for a local company were men
who had been in Casper only a few
days when the assessor called. But
they had BEEN HERE LONG
ENOUGH for poll taxes. He soaked
'em.
If you're a stranger and broke,
watch your steps"
Joe Preston makes n point. He
stabs rather deeply into our self
esteem. Is there any logical eX-
cuse for refusing medical treatment
to the stranger within our gates?
It may be that some authorities
can explain away this refusal by
the County Hospital to care for an
injured man. 1t may be that the
hospital officials ear explain it. 1t
Is quite possible tina he medical
heads of the hospital did not know
anything about it, and that this
man was turned away by underlings
who should not have so acted. Pat
Ryan was his name, in case any
body should investigate, and he was
run over by a car said to have been
driven by II. W. Frontz. Mr..
Frontz, it appears, agreed to stand
good for the bill. But the County
Hospital did not agree to take in
the man and care for him.
Is the "road to Jericho" in Ma
trona county so filled with 'those
who pass by % the other side
that a hospital refuses medical at
tention to an injured man?

THE DEADLY GRADE
CROSSING

The recent lamentable tragedy
which has shocked the city proves
with terrible clarity the ever pres
ent menac of the deadly grade
crossing. Time will be but it not
yet when every railroad by statute
or otherwise will be forced to pass
oyer or under any highway which it
i~ntersects. Even in sparsely set
tied country this should be the first
law Of r%ailroading. 1t isn't, because
it costs the railroads more. But if
saving human life were the pre-re-
quis.te Of every railroad, and not
interest on the corporation stock. it
would be the rule, as fixed as like
the law of the Modes and Persians
which altereth not.
1t is hardly within the bounds of
economic possibility to expect roads
traversing a desert country to put
in bridgework or %culverts for every
little road they cross; although that
is the only sure and final way To
safety. But gates at ever crossing,

1t is law in some states. 1t should
be in Wyoming, if that is the only
method of assuring the public an
adequate measure of safety.
Right in Casper, interesting the
two main business streets of n city
of more than $4,000 souls, are two
grade crossings without the vestige
of a gate or a barrier which can be
let down on the approach of a train.
True, not many trains operate over
these streets per day, but it takes
only one train, once a year, to pro-
vide the means for a fatal accident.
A Waterman is stationed there at
certain times of day, it is also true;
but a Waterman can be easily over
looked by an auto driver. Gates
are much harder to overlook; and
if they are set back from the track
a reasonable distance, make a fair
ly efficient check against fatalities.
At the intersection of the North
western tracks and East Second
street a woman was badly bot only
n month or SO ago when, blinded by
a shrieking wind, she walked right
into the side of an approaching en-
CINE.
There is no possible excuse for
such accidents; and such accidents
would not occure if the public were
properly protected.

GASOLINE GYPSIES

The automobile and the good
road have brought into being n
new race of gypsies. Every spring
sees their numbers increase. They
pack their belongings into the fam
lily flivver, hook on a trailer with a
camping outfit and set out for the
other end of the continent as calm
ly as they would once have driven
out to grandma's, lover the ridge"
Now is their season. A cold
March forced the most venturesome
ones to stay at home longer than
usual this year. But before long
their camp fires will spring up in
the cool spring dusks from n end
Of the country to the other and the
%clatter of their laden vehicles will
break the quiet of country roads
in all directions.
Even the true gypsies have in
many cases motorized their cara
vans. In some instances they have
been known to display as much
shrewdness in trading automobiles
as they once did in swapping horses.
They drive through in ears of vari-
Gus degrees, their old mysterious
covered wagons left behind, their
children, their dogs and their house
hold goods piled heller SHELTER in
some capacious tonneau.
But their amateur imitators are
not born to the road. They are
small town folk for the most part
who never before could travel ex-
tensively. They used to live those
lives of narrow compass that have
stirred up the novelists much. They
seek the broadening influence of
travel. By the time another gen
Grafton arrives, will it find us n
nation of nomads?
All over the country, towns large
and small have set aside camping
places for the new gypsies, with
every comfort at little or no ex-
pense. They can travel all day and
be assured of quarters at night.
They are glad to find these, too,
for with their love of the open road
they have not learned the Romany
stoicism ms to cleanliness and com
fort. Their wandering should
broaden their minds and better
their understanding of the lives and
needs and worth of their fellow
countrymen."-New York Evening
Sun.
