Planning Forest Trails

BUFFALO.-Last week J.. w.
Spencer. supervisor of the Big Horn
National Forest passed through
Buffalo enroute to his home in
Sheridan from a trip OF inspection
which took in the Clouds Peak climb
and the trip to Lake Solitude.
Mr.. Spencer has expressed himself
very much in favor of improving
the trails through the Big Horns and
no doubt this will meet with the
hearty approval of those who FIRE.
quent these trails during the sum
mer months. According TO a state
ment made by Mr.. Spencer. He
said. Next year the mountain trails
in the Big Horn forest will be i'm
proved. and most of the money avail
able will be used on the Solitude
trail. and the forest ser officers
believe It is the most important.
Mr.. Spencer declared that the scenic
beauty OF Black Tooth mountain and
Clouds peak are the greatest in
the Big Horn mountains.
THE trail to these two points and
the county between. the main artery
of which is the Solitude trail are
difficult. and will always be so, but
can BIO improved greatly. in the
estimation OF the supervisor. and
every effort win be made by him to
improve them as much as possible
next year. he said"

The Typewriter and the Pen

Fifty years have passed since the first prac-
teal typewriter came into use and the writing
machine has but lately celebrated the an
niversary. In that time the machine has been
adopted the world over for most purposes of
writing, of correspondence, bookkeeping, prepare
ton of copy for the press, making official re-
cords and in divers other ways supplanting
the work that the pen had done since time I'M
memorial.
While it is not pretended to deny the type
writer any of the blessings it has conferred
upon mankind or to detract from its general
usefulness in the modern world, yet it is fire.
quently stated that writing done with a ma
chine differs in more than speed and legibnity
from writing produced in the old way-that
there is a change of style, and one not Tor the
better. Whether this is generally true or not
nobody knows with any approach to certainty,
but the charge most frequently made Is that
typewriter copy, perhaps from greater ease Oh
its production, tends to contain many words,
some of them unnecessary. Conclslon, ana Win
it energy and directness, is said to decrease I'M
der this influence. If this be so the benefaction
of the typewriter is less than its admirers claim
for it.
Still, there fingers the feeling that a personal
letter written on the typewriter lacks something
of dignity and courtesy. Be that as it may
there can be today but few business houses but
have accepted the innovation and rejoice In IT,
The victory of the typewriter over the pen is
by no means complete. There are more pens
and different kinds of pens manufactured today
than ever and the pencil has been affected not
at all. Neither is likely to disappear any more
than is the horse in competition with the auto
mobile.

Children Injured

BUFFALo.-Frank Bybee. ~. and
Carrie Bybee. 10. were injured in
an explosion Sunday at the old
Ramsbottom ranch below Kaycee.
which is the Bybee home. The
brother and sister and four or five
other children were playing in tho
kitchen at the time. Frank was dig
ging at the contents of a dynamite
cap with a knife and the cap ex-
ploded. The children were brought
to Buffalo and attended by DIR.
Knebel. The injuries received by
the little girl were but slight and
as soon as the doctor extracted a
few pieces OF the cap from the calf
of her leg she was little the worse
OF for her experience but her
brother lost two fingers Of the left
hand at the first joint and the
fingers of his right were badly torn
but will be saved. The children
were taken back to the ranch this
morning.

A Failed Venture

II might have been known, the natural result
of the Aquitania's experiment in installing a
soda fountain. 1t was left entirely to the option
of The messenger to purchase the refreshing and
yirtuous beverages offered for sale. There
should first have been a law to forbid its sale
or possession and then possibly the venture
would have lasteG longer Aud nndS~ laTo grcwE
into n permanent institution. AS it is the in
%novation lasted about two round trips.
Travellers who venture upon the Vastly deep
are bold and fearless by nature. to commence
with. They could scarcely be expected to gargle
soda water in the presence of a shipload OF
observant world tourists. Our bold travellers
are fed up on soda water at home. When they
are away from home, like all other venturers
they would rather be mistaken for regular
devils" And regular devils do not drink soda
water as a regular beverage.
European patrons of the boat accustomed as
they are at home to everything but soda water,
could see nothing to this beverage except in its
plain form ms n chaser with their liquor, or as
n sustaining force in making their highball
high.
So when our soda saturated Americans and
our European friends, who have a ~penchant for
stronger waters, both turned their backs on the
soda fountain, it was without patrons. Any
thing without patrons does not long survive.
SO the next trip of the boat found the soda
fountain missing from the palm room, and the
old order with some variation prevailing after
and before the three mile limit.
What should have really happened ON the
Aquitania was n positive assertion of prohibi.
ton instead of the negative. These Directing
and sneering travellers American as we'll as
European should have been compelled to swal-
low for their own good at stated intervals dur
ing the day and evening the drinks of putty,
innocence and virtue, instead Of permitting them
to poison themselves with noxious libations to
any such hayward deity as Bacchus.
But, seamen, long welded to their grog, have
small skill in popularizing novelties in the
drinking line so the enterprise that would sup
ply just what the traveller was thirstfng for
failed miserably.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
The Motorist Now Responsible

Nor yort Sunreme court has laid down
a new principle of law with reference 10 ~
railroads. They have in that state what is
known as the Disc Sign Act, passed IN 1919
which gives the motorist ample warning OF MS
anproach to a railroad crossing In time 10 prlhs
his car under control. Under this act a muihcr
n,l,tv or other public authority maintaining a
highway crossing at grade must maintain a disc
sign twenty-five inches in diameter, three hun
dred feet from the crossing notifying the motor
list that he is approaching n crossing. 1t Is
then his duty to slow down so that by the time
he arrives at the crossing he will have his car
under such control that he can stop instantly
If he sees n train approaching.
A railroad train with its overhang requires
only nine feet of the road to cross and the mo
torist has three hundred feet in which to slow
down and give that nine feet.
The court decision is good law. The motor
list is perfectly aware of the element of danger
at any railroad crossing and with the sign be-
fore his eyes, three hundred feet back OF the
danger point, he no longer has the excuse that
he came upon the crossing unawares or unex-
pectedly. The ordinary "stop, look, LISTEN sign
placed by all railroads at all road crossings
over their rights Of way should be sufficient in
itself and doubtless would be held in most cases
sufficient warning of danger to the public, but
New York has made doubly sure with its disc
signs, and its courts have rightly placed the
responsibility upon the motorist.
Disregard of the warning of the disc sign is
now deemed to be c~ontributory negligence, and
the motorist Tor his estate) cannot recover
damages If he is struck by a train. AS the
court points out, the law is not so much 70
place the damages as it is to protect the motor.
list from his own recklessness. Those who
observe the law will not have to raise the ques.
ton of damages. There are very few exceptions
IN the rn1a that pradn CROSSING orCidaufa a n
due to the carelessness of the motorist. If time
is pressing, 1t is always possible to make up any
loss caused by slowing down or stopping at a
railroad crossing. 1t can only be a matter of
a minute or two at most, and no one driving a
motor car has the right to place human life in
jeopardy as against his skill in driving a car.

In some the knives caught
fire. presumably from the sun, and
quite a little blaze resulted. As the
occupants of the truck had no ex-

the purpose and 1t proved very eff

Abolishing the Long Vacation

In some sections of the country, more es.
pecia1ly those in which large cities and populous
districts are located, the question of abolishing
the long summer school vacation is been dis,
cussed.
The argument in such localities is largely in
favor of continuous school session because
the problem of the child upon the street is a
vexing one to them.
In the earlier days of the country, things
were much simpler, and the summer vacation
of schools is handed down from that period.
Then boys worked on the farm all summer and
went to school only in winter. But in the de-
~velopment of modern city life such a system,
obviously, is out of place. The system does not
fit. The result being that all summer long the
big centers are full of children with nothing to
do but play in the streets and get into trouble
with a long season wasted that could well be
given over to education, without any evil re-
suits.
In such circumstances, the aIl-theyear school
with short vacations and the abandonment of
the long summer vacation period, has n strong
appeal. Saturday and n few brief holiday
spells are perfectly appropriate and desirable,
but the long vacation seems no longer to fit the
needs of the growing generations; and if the old
system was changed and the proposal, as sug-
gested, adopted, education would progress
more rapidly and the millions Of children who
throng the streets in the populous centers would
be better off and likely happier when they be-
come used TO the change.
OF course, in considering the all-the-year
school, there is the bitter opposition that is
bound TO be encountered from numerous sources.
No violent change has ever been made in the
life and habits of the people without bitter op,
position. A great deal of it seuseless.
One Of the opponents will quite naturally be
the tired school teacher, who now has more
vacation than any other class of worker in the
country. For instance the teacher has every
Saturday, every holiday and all summer or
auty and gets, at the minimum fourteen weeks

Good Roads and Competition

Community building is beset with more. puzzing problems
than one might suppose. Perhaps one of the most difficult of
solution being the problem created by the extension of good
roads.
The world admits good roads spell the development of
America, the spread of education and a better understanding
among %neighbors. There has been much difference of opinion,
however, as to whether villages are first built by stores attract
ing residents or by increasing residents attracting stores.
Whichever theory may be correct the fact remains that the
growth of any community depends very largely on the pros
perity of its trading section.
Some villages are so situated geographically that good roads
simply open up an easy avenue for trade to go out of town.
Then there is an element of danger in such thoroughfares which
must be balanced Of course by the advantages derived by the
farmer.
never can be halted, nor is it wise that they should be. But
their building means that local merchants must come to know
more of merchandising, that they must take the hometown
folks more into their confidence and show them conclasively
they can trade at home advantageously.
The competition in the small town is not between store-
keeper and storekeeper,' but between town al village. between
city and town. The 10 fef5a has his place. but he must
he awake to his responsibility.

MOTHERS THRONE

A great deal is being said and
written about. woman's position.
Superficial men and women are talk
ing about the broader field for wo-
men, about woman's opportunities.
about her equality with man, and
about her rights. 1t would be most
difficult to find a series Of subjects
more disgusting, more superficial
and infmical to woman's position.
1t may be that some poor, neglect
ed, long-suffering and oyer-burdened
wife has listened to the SIRENS song
OF the larger liberties of woman
She no doubt longs for the day when
she can open the front gate and
stroll the sidewalks of unimpeded
female liberty.
1t may be these sentiments were
born in the brain of some masculine
IL inclined women. They have
watched their poor degenerate
brothers marching forth as prodigal
sons, and wondered why they could
not have the same rights.
Whether these subjects are dis
cussed seriously or frivolously. all
will be compelled to arrive at the
conclusion that the highest, broad-
est, deepest and grandest place on
earth Is woman's indestructible
throne-Home, sweet Home.
You cannot send women to the
fields without ~neglecting the front
door of Gods mansion-Home, sweet
Home. You cannot put women In
the positions of masculine COMPETE
ton without turning the children
over to the Juvenile court and the
cold charity of the state. You can
not put women in competition with
men and continue to populate the
earth You cannot find a substitute
for Mother.
The position which rears its head
above the sweep of winds and the
fight Of birds is woman's God-cre-
ated rhrone-Home, sweet Home.

Buying Power in Small Towns

Politicians who doubt where the strength OF America lies
should examine the report made from a survey OF thirteen north
central states in relation to farm and town trade.
1t is found that in towns of 1000 or less population, the
farm trade represents about 76 per cent of the total. In dry
goods it represents 80 per cent; in hardware 90 per cent IN
building material so per cent; in furniture 10 per cent, and in
clothing GO per cent.
Automobiles are sold IN these small towns to the extent Of
so per cent of total consumption. These figures are startling
and they run only. slightly lower in towns. OF from 1000 to
$4,000. The small town consumption is more than fifty per
cent in every line.
This survey shows where the market lies for American man
ufactured goods. 1t emphasizes again the Importance Of national
legislators looking after the interest OF the farmer. The farmer
is awakening to a sense of his strength politically and eeonom-
ieally. Unless he receives more serious consideration ne Is likely
to prove a troublesome factor.
The writing is on the wall. Politicians both in the states
and in the nation should keep their ears to the ground. The
voice of the home town is well worth listening to.
