DR.. crane next introduced a chart
showing the work done by the Uni
versity Extension Service in en-
couraging the growing Of certified
potatoes. Previous to 1920. there
were but few bushels of certified
potatoes raised in wyoming outside
Of those from the Boys Potato clubs.
In 1920 two counties in the state
grew ten thousand bushels OF GER
titled potatoes with a value, F. o. B..
Wyoming towns, of $1S,000.00. In
1921 five counties grew thirty two
thousand bushels valued at $4,000
and in 1922 eleven counties grew a
hundred thousand bushels with au
value Of $96.00O.00. Had this last
mentioned crop been sold at the ex-
listing market price for table stock
they would have brought only
$4S.000.00, but half the seed value.
AS these potatoes were sold under
certification Of Wyoming University
Inspectors the school can rightfully
claim credit for the added value de-
rived from the growing Of certified

rather than common stock potatoes.
The biennial appropriation for the
Extension Department as passed by
the 1921 legislature was approx
mately 100000 or s5O,000.00 for
n year so that DR.. Crane was cor
rect when he pointed out that the
added value in potatoes as brought
about by the University nearly equals
the money voted for running all Of
experimental stations and farms
for one year.
Probably the most interesting of
the numerous charts exhibited and
explained by DR.. Crane illustrated
the annual tax burden per inhabit-
ant levied in Wyoming and six

FORD SALES REACH P1NACLE

F. NJ. Johnston of the F. M. John

following letter which will be Of
interest to prospective buyers:
We have finished a wonderful
year, retailing 1.2O2,517 Ford cars
and trucks. Retail sales for De-
cember total 105.799 cars and trucks
and we want to congratulate you as
our dealer. your statesmen and every
member OF your organization who
have so aggressively gone after and
obtained business in an unheard Of
volume for this time Of year. Over
one hundred thousand retail de-
liveries OF Ford cars and trucks for
nine consecutive MONTHS record
to be proud OF and one which ia
not apt to be offset by a reduced
volume Of business this month.
The New Year holds wonderful op-
portunities and now that we are on
the down grade into spring. let's
give an extra push which means
many advanced deliveries to GUS
toners who otherwise would wait
and be disappointed. You know we
are really obligated to advise the
Thousands OF prospects who have
planned on spring delivery to list
their orders now and take advantage
Of our dealers first opportunity to
make delivery. for everything points
to 4 greater shortage of Ford pro-
ducts this spring than ever before
in u history. Farmers already
realize this and are accepting de-
liveries of cars. trucks and tractors
now.
So please fulfill your obligation
to your community by advising all
prospects of these actual facts
that they may list their orders with
you now for prompt delivery which
II the only assurance We can give
them Of their obtaining Ford pro-
ducts for use this spring and sum
mer.

during the years 1921 to 1922, 1861.
This rapid increase of enrolment
in the educational department was
further illustrated by the speaker
when he said that so per cent of
the teachers in the state have re
ceived instruction in this, depart
ment.
The military School of the Wyo-
ming University. DR.. Crane said,
has trained 1900 men since 1892.
There were $40 men and lit Of
ficers from this department who
saw service in the late war. 1t
Is interesting to note that during
the war there we're 1870 candidates
for entrance into the Students Army
Training Corps and all but five
passed the requirements Of Federal
Physical Examination.
The Military School gives four
years instruction in military science
and the graduates are commissioned

wonderful work done by this de-
partment the speaker told of the
7449 children who have been enroll
ed in club work in nine different
kinds Of clubs during the past sever
years. These clubs encouraged the
children in the raising Of hogs,
sheep, calves, and poultry; the
growing of potatoes, corr and garden
truck; also gave instruction in the
making of clothing, in cooking and
in canning. The value OF the child
ren's products comes to $164,0O0 of
which $1O7 100000 was pure profit.
The law department of the Uni
versity, is yet in its infancy, said
DR.. Crane, but great strides have
already been made by this school.
There is now a law library of over
five thousand volumes and the school
will be in a position to meet the
requirements of the American As
ISOLATION, of Law Schools when 1t
joins next year.
DR.. Crane next explained a chart
which illustrates the growing pres
tfge OF the University in sections Of
the state distant from Laramie.
Southern counties have always taken
advantage of the University and the
charts mentioned tell the story Of
a great increase of enrolment from
the north end OF the state. During
the years 1915 to 1922 Sheridan
county increased her representation
from % students in 1915 to SO in
1922. Big Horn county shows. an
increase from rs to 80 students en-
rolled; Crook county from IL to
68 and Park from 8 to 81.
There are at the present time ten
state University Experiment farms in
Wyoming, not including the State
Experimental farm at Laramie. They
have been so distributed, said DR..
Crane that their attitudes range
from $500 feet to $500 feet. The
rain fall in the different localities
varies from seven inches to II in
ches. Because of this diversity of
climatic conditions. the speaker ex-
planned. these farms were of great
value to the University and the farm
ers OF the state and he stated that
II was his opinion that the farms
should be kept for further expert
mental purposes.
After all credits have been allowed
for the revenue derived from these
farms. he stated, the entire ten have
cost the state only $12, 90 yearly.
A chart Of the University Depart
men of Education showed that dur
ing the last thirty years there was
a total enrolment OF 8716. Out of
this grand total there were enrolled

neighboring states, to cover the ex-
pense of instruction and of the ex-
detrimental stations in the various
Universities. In states where differ
ent educational departments are
maintained in separate schools the
total expense has been combined in
arriving at the per capita tax for
for one year.
Idaho $1.50 per inhabitant.
Montana S1.54 per inhabitant.
Colorado S1.70 per inhabitant.
Nebraska VIA per inhabitant.
Utah $1.78 per inhabitant.

ant.

aside and entered cautiously. The

woman-a small woman clad in a
khaki-colored dust-cloak, carrying n
little red bundle. She ran with a
STOPPING gait, bending low as she
threaded between the bushes. She
reached point agains, the cliff on
Billy's side, three hundred yards far
ther along, close by a tangle of under
growth. There she halted, and. look
ing round her quickly, disappeared
with extreme suddenness.

He rose, as if to follow, but on sec

and hurried along the pit bottom In
his direction.
Billy wormed himself hurriedly un-
der the tangled briars at some cost to
his skin. The woman passed him
within seventy yards, walking rapidly.
She was no longer carrying the bundle.
When she had passed, Billy peeped
after her. Though he could not see
her face, he had not the slightest
doubt who she was. She disappeared
round the bend of the pits.
Billy eytricated himself cautiously
from the bush and waited for some
