CATTLE PERISH
In THE FLAMES
Horse and Cow Burned to
Death in Fire at New
man Farm.
BURNED TO GROUND

Fire which destroyed the barn on
the farm of n. R. Newman on the Nc
Cune Road one mile west of the Sher-
idan Road early Friday evening burn
ed to death a horse and cow tied
in their stalls in the burning building.
The fire when discovered had gained
so much Roadway that it was irnpos-
sible to rescue either from the flames
despite the heroic attempts of many
who came to the scene of the blaze.
The Newman family had moved but
recently to the farm and had only a
small amount Of livestock in the barn
for this reason. Two cows and two
horses were in the barn when the
flames were discovered One of each
had been led to safety when the fall
ing timbers trapped the others in
their stalls.
Helpless to Aid Beasts.
The means of the beasts as they
were burned to death were heard for
some distance from the scene of the
fire. Those who hurried to the scene
risked their lives in efforts to lead the
animals to safety but were finally
forced to leave them to their doom.
The barn burned to the ground de-
stroying all of the grain, and forage
supply of the farm. The loss is said
to be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
the barn being small one.
Few Could Reach Scene.
The condition of the roads made it
impossible for many persons of the
neighborhood to reach the scene Of
the fire in time to help fighting the
flames. Scores ran across fields when
the burning structure had lighted up
the countryside for several miles.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t is thought possible that it may
have been smouldering since the time
that the regular evening feeding was
done. When discovered it had made
such Roadway that it had spread to
the entire interior of the barn.

The announcement, given above, that
the supreme court would not review
the conviction of Attorney Walter M.
Burke of Kenosha, was construed here
to mean that the Kenoshan had lost
his fight and that there was now no
alternative to serving out the SEN
tence imposed by the federal court in
Milwaukee after he had been found
guilty by the jury which tried the
case.
Burke recently obtained a stay of
mandate effective until April LIST on
the grounds that he had filed an ap-
peNl to the United States supreme
court. The circuit court of appeals
has already ruled adversely on an APP
peal made by the Kenoshan and there
is now no further legal course open
to him in fighting the sentence of the
court.
May Seek Additional Time.
Attorney Burke could not be seen
and no statement directly from him
could be secured regarding what his
next action would be.
At his office, however, statement
was made to the effect that Mr.. Burke
had not planned to fight the case fur
Their if the United States supreme court
ruled adversely as it has. This is TAX
en- to mean that there will not be an
effort to secure a review of the case
on other grounds than those presented
in the present appeal.
1t was stated that Mr.. Burke would
probably ask for a short extension of
the stay mandate in order to allow him
to get his business affairs in shape be-
fore starting to serve out the SEN
tence imposed by the court.
Fought to Last Court:
The decision handed down by the
supreme court today marks the end
of one Of the most spectacular legal
battles in the history of Southern
Wisconsin. Convicted in the federal
court in Milwaukee on charge OF
bribery in connection with the opera
tions> of the Kenosha- Milwaukee whis-
key ring, Burke, still maintaining his
innocence, sought new trial which
was denied. He carried the case to
the circuit court of appeals and when
defeated there took his case to the
| highest court in the land.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
GOOD

The recent mysterious depression
evident in the stock market quota
tions is now being reflected to some
extent, but with less mystery, in
various current business reports.
These reports and reviews indicate
somewhat of a lull in the rising tide
of business. On the whole, this
slackening of feverish activity may
be received with approval rather
than regret.
1t indicates that the lessons of
our postwar initiation and collapse
have not been entirely forgotten.
There are many businesses and
many individuals still suffering
from those events, 1t is quite like
ly that they should try to put the
brakes upon such runaway business
activities as ended in a crash. 1t is
well that this should be done.
The end of any other course could
hardly fail to be disastrous, just az
the overinflation of business
brought disaster in 1921. Reason
able caution in expansion at this
time will allow prosperity to be ex-
tended over a long period. 1t will
eliminate such peaks as followed the
war, and fill in such chasms as we
met after passing the peaks. 1t
tends toward stability, which should
be welcomed by all.
In the present case such promise
Of stability is especially to be APP
proved because it seems to be the
result of deliberate intent and
sound reasoning. II our interpre-
tation of events is correct, the out
look is most encouraging, promising
a long period of substantial pros
perity based upon sound principles
rather than a brief and hectic pc
riod Of tremendous activity which
would inevitably be followed by n
slump.

PREVENT DISEASE

DR.. Charles Mayo, perhaps the
greatest diagnostician and the best
known physician in the United
States, recently said that the future
of preventive medicine rested with
the dental profession and particu-
larly with oral hygiene.
Coming from n mar of DIR.
Mayo's standing, that remark is
highly significant. The care Of the
mouth and teeth is a science in it
self, and it is only comparatively
recently that its Importance in gen.
era1 health has been realized. A
very large number Of human ills
and diseases are communicable
through the mouth. A hygienically
clean mouth, with strong, healthy
gums, throws off disease. A neg
lected mouth breeds disease germs.
Sanitary conditions in the mouth
apply just as they do anywhere
else. Dirt-in the oral case tartar
and acid-accumulate; and where
dirt accumulates the spread Of dis
ease is easy and rapid.
The attention of tho Casper
school board has been called before
to the need of an oral hygiene clinic
in connection with the schools. Not
a few cities now have dental clinics
for school children. In Bridgeport,
Connecticut, it is interesting to
note that dental hygiene was start
ed in the public schools in 1914;
and Bridgeport was the only city in
the east whose schools were not
partially closed down in the great
influenza epidemic. The diphtheris
death rate was cut down by so per
cent between 1914 and 1918,
measles vas brought down from 20
to Al and scarlet fever from 1<.1
to 8. bridgeport also had the low
est death rate during the flu
scourge of any city approaching it
in size.
Flint, Michigan, has a good oral
hygiene clinic in connection with
its public schools. Denver has n
small dental clinic for school chill
dren. And in every city where fig
ures are available, dental hygiene
has more than paid for itself in edu-
cational circles.
Though it is not often thought
of in this regard, health has a mar
ket value. The health of school
children has a direct bearing to the
expenses of a board of education.
Figures arc not at hand on the cost
per capita of keeping Casper chill
dren in school each year. This
cost, of course, varies in different
communities; but it is generally
about fifty or sixty dollars per
year. Retarded and backward pu-
pills, therefore, cost the average city
fifty or sixty dollars for every
school year they lose. If they are
not promoted, the school board is
out of pocket.
That health bears a distinct rela-
ton to r%etardation there is not tho
slightest doubt. In fact, it is pro-
badly by far the biggest cause, di-
rectly or indirectly, for backward
students. In tho case cited-that
of Dridgcport-the drop in rctarda.
ton between 1919 and 1918 was 90
PEI cent. And the test success of
any city school system between Civ
en- period is not whether there b,
