Broken Barriers.

Stage-Struck Girls Missing from
Home, reads a headline. Then in
the body of the article we find
that though they are still child
rem, one IA and the other 16, they
are believed to have run away to
join a musical comedy chorus.
Golden dreams, and behind those
dreams potential tragedy! Will
kind fate lead them to the pro-
tecting arms Of some policewoman
to be returned to their homes? Or
will they go on to suffer disillus-
ionment, or perhaps a harsher
fate, and then come back with
their vision broken into fragments
that can never be pieced together?
1t is difficult to deal with the
dreams of youth. They seem so
real and their fulfillment is just
over the hill there. If there are
barriers, break them and get on
your way. That is youths manner
of reasoning. And when the top
of the hill is reached youth finds
that the mirage is still far dis
tant and the road more difficult
than ever.
The other day a Milwaukee
Judge showed sympathetic wisdom
in dealing with two boys who
we're brought before him. They
had the spirit of adventure, they
wanted to get into the great open
spaces, and so they played truant.
He arranged to- have them placed
on farms for the summer. There
they can see what the outdoors
is like. In such manner if stage
struck girls could be given a peep
on the side of the setting they
would understand that things are
not always as they imagine them.
Merely to impress youth is
neither wise nor just. In one or
the other of those little girls, for
all we know, there may be Mrs.
tiske or Bernhardt. But if we
could only get them to see that
by breaking the barriers, by cut
ting loose, by running away from
the support and protection they
have always had, they are taking
the surest way of never arriving
at their goal, we should prevent
disaster and perhaps tide them
over to- the time when they could
begin in earnest to realize their
tions.-Milwaukee Journal.

WILL PASS A GASS TAX
Indications Point to Passage
of Law Placing Tax on All
Gasoline Used.

The 2-cent gasoline tax effective
on July first and a license fee for
next year on automobiles of from
$40 to $26 is going through the
upper house of the Wisconsin leg
islature. The indications are that
this is the highway program
which will be adopted by the leg
islature.
The gasoline tax bill, a separate
measure, was sent to third read
ing in the senate last week with
little opposition. This measure
would raise approximately $3,000,-
900. The license fee bill would
raise approximately $6,0O0,000.
This total of 100000 would be
turned into an independent fund
for highway purposes.
The 100000 fund would then
be apportioned between the state
and the county. The state will
retain rs per cent of the funds
for the purposes of roads and
bridges, the meeting of federal
aid and state aid and highway
construction. The state aid mil
cage was increased from $500 to
10000 miles.
The Is per cent of the fund
which goes to the county must be
used for road and bridge purposes.
That part of the highway bill re-
quiring the valuation of automo-
biles and the collection of a valu-
alton tax has been abandoned as
part of the program. 1t was
proposed that this valuation tax
should be returned to the locality.
With the abandonment of this
proposal the localities will now re-
ceive only Is per cent of the
funds collected from auto licen-
ses and gas tax. This money will
be returned to the county in pro-
portion to the number of automo-
biles licensed in each county.

Direct Cable Service.

Relief Manager A. F. Hackers
OF the Western Union Telegraph
Company announces an arrange
ment effective as of June / where
by cabled money transfers to
France will be paid in American
funds at the option of the sender.
In other words, if, say $500, is
cabled via Western Union to Paris,
the amount will be paid at des-
tination either in u. S. currency
or IN francs, according to the
choice of the remitter,
The particular value of this
arrangement is that it eliminates
questions of exchange and places
the payee in a position to take
full advantages of the premium
on American currency. 1t also in
wolves refund of the full amount
deposited in the case of non-pay-
ment, which is another great ad.
vantage in the case of declining
foreign currency.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company believes that the estab-
lishment of a direct money trans
fer service to France on the dol
lar basis will be considerable
convenience to people desiring to
send money cheaply, quickly, SAT-
ely and directly to their friends
or relatives in that country.

the corn belt there are thousands
of farmers abandoning their old
policy and diversifying by putting

It is true that this incipient de-
mand has resulted in an enormous

animals to other states. In 1921

WILL DRAFT PLANS
 FOR TWO PLATOON
Fire Board and Ordinance Com. mittee to Confer Friday Night

A joint meeting of the fire board and the ordinance committee of the common council will be held Friday night, when steps will be taken to prepare for the adoption of the two- platoon system in the fire department. A. special meeting of the fire commis- sion has been arranged for Thursday night, at which recommendation for the new plan will be made and sent to the ordinance committee.
 It is expected that as soon as possi- ble appointments will be made in the department. There is much work for the commission in arranging the many details arising out of the adoption of the two-platoon plan. Chairman J. l.. R. Keevers says that every man in the department is eligible for appoint ment as second deputy chief This is expected to create much competition for the coveted berth. The chairman has asked the corporation counsel for an opinion covering the appointment of callmen in the department who are past the age specified in the ordin- ance. It is expected that in the mat ter of the appointment of new men in the ranks, ex-service men, eligible through civil service examination, will be given preference. This was the at titude of the old board and Chairman Keevers states that the present board will undoubtedly adhere to it.

HEREIN RIOTING IS
 RECITED IN COURT
Survivor Of Massacre TeStifeS as
 to Battle

Marion, H., March (By the As- sociated Press)-sweeping aside all the legal skirmishing that marked the opening of the first Herrin riots trial, the prosecution today continued the introduction of evidence against Hugh Willis, state board member of the Illinois Mine Workers, and five other defendants charged with murder in connection with the outbreak.
 The prosecution was prepared to lay special emphasis on its contention that the killing of the p non-union miners resulted from a conspiracy.
 The case of the Haymarket riots in Chicago, where an editor and speaker who took no actual part in the killings were hanged because they had advocated violence, was cited by c. w. Middlekauf, special prosecutor, in his statement to the jury, as apply for the introduction of testimony along this line was made by Judge J. T. Hartwell during the first trial, which resulted in a verdict of ac- quittal.
 Judge Hartwell instructed the first jury that if one of the defendants had helped to take the non-union men from the mine and then had publicly announced that he would take no part in any acts of violence, he still would be guilty of murder if the jury found that his previous acts resulted in murder even though he had not actu-

Mclean, Washington publisher who with Mrs. Mclean, will act as hosts during a trip down the Indiana and Shalifax rivers A game of golf has been ar ranged as the first, feature of the presidents vacation on reaching Or mond.
 The thoughts of the executive dur ing the trip were not altogether of the prospective pleasures, however. Dur ing stop at Rockymount N. C., last evening the president was greeted by several hundred employees of the At lantic Coast line railroad and their families and the first questions asked were as to conditions in the railroad industry.
 Rockmount was one of the storm CenIeTS m last summer Tall StTlkeS and MT. Harding wanted to know how things were going with the men. They assured him that all was well and when Secretary of Labor Davis ap- peared on the platform and was in- troduced by the president, the head of the labor department got a round of applause.
 The president also wanted to know about cotton prices and the condition of affairs among the cotton planters and the cotton mill owners and em- ployes.
 Have you any boil weevils down here?" he asked.
 You bet we have boil weevils and also corn liquor,' spoke up man in the back of the crowd.
 You know you are not supposed to have any of the latter" the presi- dent responded, "and I guess there is not as much of it as there is talk about it.

KIDDIES LIKE TALES

New Britain Library Is Popular
 Mecca for School Children

So popular has the chidren's story ' period become in the library of the New Britain institute that it has been found impossible to handle the crowds. This period instituted some time ago, is from 10 a, m. until 2 P. m. on Saturdays. The youngsters drop in and are assembled in a por- ton of their department, where li- brarian tells them a story from one of the many children'f classics. Fairy tales, stories of the lives of the presi- dents and other great statesmen, etc., are told and are listened to with in- terest by the children.
 This story period helps to create in the children a demand for better looks and the reaction is such that the library finds it difficult to keep up with the calls for children's books Of the better type. It is a significant fact, according to Miss Helen Vain. wright, children's librarian, that there is little if any call for trashy books.
 The most popular type among the children are instructive books, con taining stories relating to the early history Of the country, or the early history of the world stories of the worlds great rulers, geographical facts cleverly concealed in interesting anecdotes and adventure stories, and animal stories.
 Among the stories which lead in popularity at the present time are the Thornton Burgess bedtime stories, for which there seems to be an ever in- creasing demand, increasing so rapid ly that it seems almost impossible to keep the supply ahead of the demand

How Votes are Secured

The next step is to call on or write the campaign depart
ment for a free working outfit, consisting Of a special re-
c.eipt book, sample copies of the paper and other informa-
ton relative to launching an active campaign.
Thus equipped, you have but to go to your friends and
%neighbors, relatives and acquaintance, and have them clip
all the free coupons from their papers, or pay up a subscrip-
ton to the Casper Daily Tribune through you. THAT'S ALL
THERE is TO IT. However, you will never win anything
unless you make the start; and, while it will not be a very
difficult matter to capture one Of the big prizes, nevertheless
you should start at once; You must plan out your campaign
the same as any successful business man plans out his work
for a season, and above everything else let no one discour-
age you, but stick to the finish. Anything worth having is
worth striving for. A few short weeks and you may be rid
ing in your own automobile.
1t takes votes to win and votes are secured In two ways:
First, by clipping the coupons appearing in each issue Of the
Casper Daily Tribune. Begin by gathering them now. After
a short time these coupons will be reduced to a lesser num-
Der of votes. The only restriction placed on coupons is that
they must be deposited at the campaign department of the
Tribune on or before the expiration date printed thereon.
Get your friends saving these coupons for you-they all
count.
The other, and faster, way to get votes is by securing new
and renewal subscriptions to the Daily Tribune. On each
subscription turned in a certain number Of votes are issued,
the number varying according to the amount paid and dur
ing which "period' same are received at the campaign de-
partment (see schedule of votes elsewhere). So, you see,
the more subscriptions you secure the more votes you can
get and the better your chances are to capture the grand
capital prize.
, 1923-02-13
Early Start Means Easy Finish

The advantages Of an early start are manifest. Not only
do you have the full time in which to secure the winning
votes, but now and up to and including Monday, April 2,
you will receive the maximum schedule Of votes on sUbscrip-
tons, while those who put off entering until a later date will
have to take what is left.
Don't lose valuable time waiting to "see what the other
fellow is going to do" but pitch right in and show the other
fellow" how to do it..

How to Enter the Election

The first step, in order to become a candidate and COM
pete for a prize, is to clip the nomination coupon appearing
in this issue; fill in your name and address and mail or de-
liver to the campaign department of the Casper Daily Trb-
une, Casper, Wyo. This coupon entities you, or the person
who you might wish to nominate, to 5000 FREE votes.
These votes are given you as a starter, and speed you on
your way to win. Only one such nomination coupon will be
accepted for each candidate.
, 1923-02-13
THE PLAN IN BRIEF

The object of this distribution Is two-fold-prinarlv tn
increase the already large subscription list of the Daily Trib-
une, TO collect subscription payments from present or old
subscribers, and at the same time afford our friends and
readers an unparalleled opportunity to profit, and in a big
way, through their spare time during the next few weeks.
So, it is a plan that works both ways and to the ultimate
good of all concerned.
In order to gain this end quickly and advantag eously, the
most valuable and attractive list of prizes ever offered by a
local newspaper in this section Of the country has been made
ready for distribution among those who participate most
heartily. Ambition and energy are the only requisites for
success.
The plan adopted is the farest and most impartial con-
ceivable. There will be no double vote offer. extra votes
given, or any other vote inducement whatever, inaugurated
during this competition. Neither will there be any long
term subscriptions accepted. The plan of the campaign is
straightforward and simple and is fully outlined in this an
nouncement.
Let it be fully understood at the very outset that this Is
not a beauty" nor popularity" contest, but a strictly legiti-
mate, competitive proposition for enterprising men and
women, and boys and girls, and one in which no element of
chance enters. One feature of this competition is the fact
that there will be no losers in this race.
