DISCUSSED BY CITY
CITY YESTERDAY INVESTIGATED WORK
Being Done ON new SYSTEM.
Authorized Light DISTRICT

Last night was held one OF the
most important meetings for some
time when the City Council met in
special session and considered sew
eral important matters.
Water System Work Investigated
Yesterday a committee comprising
Mayor Napkins. Trustee Johnson
Engineer Wisda, W. s Anderson,
spection trip over the new water
system and checked up the progress
that has been made.
OWN to the bad weather Of the
past couple weeks. work has not
progressed as far as is desired and
the trip yesterday vas for the pur-
pose of deter mining what would be
best to do.
The council last night decided to
recommend to Contractor Helmer
that he entirely complete the work
at the Sage Creek basin end. putting
in all necessary cement boxes. tieing
up the several springs and then lay
the pipe towards Rawlins. 1t is
hoped that he will be able to get
close to the city before the weather
gets very bad.
With the weather at all favorable
this system will be completed this
fall but the chances are about even
that bad weather will so hinder
work that the system cannot be COM
pleted before spring.
The bad rains we have been re-
cciving lately have washed the
bitches SO badly that the contractor.
has found Il necessary TO keep a
large crew busy s%hoveiinE them out
by hand.
New Sewer System
Tho ewe situation also was
taken up last night BY the Council
and . complete new unit was author
ICED. Tho now unit will take care
OF he Larsen addition. the peni-
Tertiary and Park Hin addition.
This new unit will relieve the
present system to such an extent
that further additions will probably
not be necessary for some time to
comc.

came up again and final decision
was made by the Council.

10 prepare an ordinance creating a
street lighting district and present

the successful staging of this cele-
b%ration, and until the growth OF the
community will insure a much
larger attendance at these shows. 1t
must look forward in the future to
the same support from business men
as it has enjoyed in the past.
IF 1t is the feeling among bust
ness men that this support should
not be expected from them in the
future. it would seem that now is
the time to have the matter defin-
itely settled so that an attempt can
he made to finance the celebration
in some other manner, or the dis
continuance of the show decided
upon.
Show "A Good Advertisement
The committee believes that this
show is an excellent medium of ad-
vertisement, not only for Rawlins
but for the entire county. and that
those who are asked each year to
support the show should so look
upon II. The committee also be-
lieyes that the business men OF the
city are DESTROYS OF continuing the
show and are willing to continue
financial support.
Donators Should Elect Committee
Some time in the near future the
donators to the Rodeo Association
should meet and elect their own
committee and secretary. II Is un-
fair both to the donators and TO the
members OF the committee to expect
the same committee to serve each
year. Each member OF the commit
tee devotes many days time TO the
putting on OF this celebration and no
compensation whatsoever Is paid to
them for this work. II the donators
desire the same committee to handle
this work every year then some
form OF compensation should be ar
ranged for them. II this is not
thought best then different mem
beers should be selected to serve
each year so that the same men will
not, be doing the work all the time.
The only compensation that the
OF the committee have re-
eeiyed In the past Is the knowledge
that they have assisted in putting on
two real Wild west celebrations In
the city
Discussion Solicited
The main and foremost idea Ia
that this celebration IL not that OF
a few, but Is OF interest and concern
70 every resident Of the community.
Tn" present secretary will welcome
letters OF approval or viii receive
with interest letters which disagree
with the policy u the association In
Tho past and which make recon-
mondntlouH ana suggestions for tn.
The committee. whoever
may be- the members. are anxious to
put on a show that viii please tn.

REPORT To contributors MAKES VALUABLE
SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE SHOWS

The financial statement submitted by Secretary Dinsmore of
the Rodeo Association to the citizens of the city who contributed
to the success of the last Rodeo shows that form a financial stand
point the celebration was also a big success.
The citizens of the city are to be congratulated because of this
fact as the admission receipts were not much larger than pre-
vousy. However, the contributions from business men were
much larger than the year before.
The balance sheet shows that the committee started this year
with a balance on hand of $3S442 and ended with a balance of
SSO55S. Total disbursements for the 1923 show amounted to

The law regarding AK payments
In printed on the back Of each notice
and should be studied carefully by
each tax payer.
For the information of our read
ers who may not thoroughly under
stand this semi-annual tax payment
law we will give an example o
ing lust how this law works.
Take for example the case OF a
person who owes In taxes $500 and
who has received a tax notice show
ing the first installment due as be-
ing 800 and the second installment
~ 500.
The taxpayer II he desires to
take advantage OF the two-payment
feature of the bill must pay his first
installment of 500. on or before
November 10th and the second in
staliment on or before May 10th.
However II the Taxpayers does not
pay the FIRST installment on or be-
fore November 10th he can still
escape the interest and penalty
which Is added because OF delin-
Quent taxe@.
This can be done by paying the
cutire 5000 on or before December
3lst Of this year. In case the hrst
payment 10 not made on or before
November 10th and the taxpayer then
do.~ not Ray the entire tax due on
or before December 3lst the tax be-
delinquent. The first install
imeut n Of November 10. 1919 and
the second instaliment Is OF May 10.

dpA ..- n- eaV " nj
though not perfect. is believed TO bs
NJ near workable as II is possible to
make such q law. Many people arc
dc.irious Of paying their taxes In
two payments while just ns many
others feel that once n year Ii bad
enough TO pay taxes and desire to
settle them in n payment.
This law takes care Of both clas-
scs OF people as those who desire 70
take advantage of tho scmi-annuai
payment plan pay n half their tax
90 on or before Novembc 10th and
tho other onc-haif on or before
May 10th. Those who were salts

SENT OUT BY TREASURER
TREASURER Heath This week MAILED OUT
FIRST TAX NOTICES UNDER The new SEMI
ANNUAL TAX PAYMENT Law

County Treasurer Laura A. Heath and Deputy Treasurer Will
Wallace the first of this week mailed out over 5000 tax notices
to taxpayers in Carbon county and within the next few days
over 200 additional notices will be mailed out.
Those who received these notices will notice that they are en-
tirely different from those of any previous year. This difference
is occasioned by the new semi-annual tax payment aw which
was passed by the last legislature.
This tax notice shows the amount of taxes that must be paid
in each payment. For instance the first installment, which is
due on or before November 10th is shown as is the second in
staument which must be paid before May tenth, 1924.

FOUNDATIONS
OF HEALTH
BY Brice Be!den, M. d.

A LII the books and all the
A talks on nerves have as
their chief burden the mo-
mentous matter of self-control.
The psychological principles hav-
ing to do with self-control are the
key to health and happiness.
1t is the mind and nervous sys-
tenn, after all, upon which all
things else depend.
Now, the matter of self-control
goes back to the training of the
child. This sort of training
should begin in infancy. The first
steps are training in regularity
az regards feeding and training
with respect to sleeping.
If child finds out that he can
get what he wants by crying and
outbursts of temper, his self-con-
troll will have been seriously I'M
dermined right at the start of his
life. Children should not have
whatever they desire unless they
show control of their emotions
and make polite requests.
If the habit of emotional out
bursts encouraged in such cir
cumstances, they will be psyche
logically ruined as regards self
control in later life. If proper
training in this regard is delayed,
it win he very difficult to estab-
lish rational behavior and the
foundations will be laid for ner-
Vous troubles in adult life.
Over-sensitiveness must not be
encouraged in children, as it will
make it difficult for them TO adj
just themselves to life as they
grow older, and the social fric-
ton increases. And they must be
taught to bear diSappointments
and other trials with fortitude
Instead of being taught TO evade
such incidents of life, they must
be made to see them as interest,"
ing experiences from which
something new and useful may
be evolved
Family discord teaches the child
to be quarrelsome, irritable and
morose. If the child observes
that those about him harbor dis
of time, he will develop the habit
of pouting and suIkinG, and in
later life may suffer from some
serious mental state.

BE SURE TO READ THEM TO YOUR CHILDREN

and the little water-boy fastened
the hooks on his feet into them
and swung his little body between
them. He felt so queerly he would
have cried if Tilly Turtle hadn't
been so near him, He began to
twist and squirm, all the time, try
ing to smile so Tilly Turtle
wouldn't think him a baby. But
he did feel strangely queer. His
little back seemed to tremble
Then a funny thing happened. The
little water-boy's suit ripped right
straight down the back.
He tried to laugh, but he felt
SO badly he couldn't. And lilly
Turtle, seeing his embarrassment,
acted as though she didn't see his
ripped suit.
Then another strange thing
happened. The little water-boy
gave q big gasp, and out of his
funny little suit he came. He was
terribly excited, and there's no
telling what might have happened
If lilly Turtle hadn't glanced his
way.
why, my DEAR" she cried,
jumping over TO the very edge
Of the log. you have another
lovely suit under the one you
just took off. Did you ever in
all your life! Yes, sir, as true
as I'm alive. you're a dragon.fly."
Tilly Turtle was so excited she
nearly tumbled off the log into
the water. "a beautiful dragon
fly! Sit still until your wings
dry"
Wings dry!' exclaimed the lit
tie newly made dragon.fly.
Have I really and truly beaut1-
full wings?" He glanced down at
his reflection in the pond and
laughed with joy. Sure enough
he had crawled right out Of his
ugly OLD suit into another lovely
one. But. oh, how tired and Ill
he felt. He could hardly move.
It took all lilly Turtle could do
to get him to try those wings.
you've got the channce OF
your life to see the world now"
she told him. Don't sit there
like a dummy or some bird may
eat you. Try your wings. fly"
Dragon-fly didn't know what
g. bird was. but he was SO happy
he didn't care to be eaten. So
he spread his lovely wings and
sailed away.
