church with music that most people
had TO go TO a concert hall to hear !:
across the street was house in which
a member Of Washington's cabinet had
once lived. Every once in a while the
Whites would go on expeditions. One
evening there was a fire across the
river, and, happening to be out walk
ing when it started, they got on a
ferryboat, learned more than the pa
pers told next morning, and acquired
new interest. They came TO know,
one by one, the high buildings that
rose above the city, and the boat lines
and steamers they passed. They had
observed and become interested in"
the water front. Anne knew the finest
bit Of skyline in the city: George was
always telling of some new acquisi-
ton at the zoo or the museum, or of
some new picture exhibit. They went

II was very big jump for so young
man. When some one commented on
the appointment TO the president. he
replied that the post called for a man
with powers of observation and sus-
tanned interest. Young George White.
he said, knew more about a job after
a month than most people did in life
time. The Whites habit of '.observ-
ing and being interested in what was
near at hand had brought to them the
ends of the earth.

wall that separated her garden from
the river and try to hear through the
stones where the sound of crying came
from.
AT last one day she found a chink in
the wall and she glued her eye 10 the
little hole and looked through. And
there she found herself looking into a
little dark room on the other side of
the wall, where lay very dirty little
boy crying as hard as he could.

The little boy sat up In astonish-

asleep on the bench. The princess ran

Old Salts Scofed
at Naval Academy

Eighty years ago. when George Ban
croft, the historian, and then secre-
tary of the navy, founded the United
States Naval academy ar Annapolis,
old sea dogs scoffed at the idea of
training naval officers ashore, says the
Mentor Magazine. Previous TO that
time any lad who aspired to command
Of a man-o'-war went to sea at the
age of ten. and was placed under the
tutelage Of a commissioned officer who
stood sponsor for the training of young
midshipmen. 1t was a hard school.
This practical training among the
"roughnecks. the scum of the water
fronts of seaport towns. produced
some of the most illustrious names in
American naval history; but this train
ing also unmade many an ambitious
young lad. In spite Of the opposition
from hardened sea dogs, Bancroft
founded the naval academy. and to-
day it stands as the leading school for
the training of naval officers in the
world

III law, and entertained the audience
with several good stories.
Tincher, in answering him, called
attention to the fact that the Under
t.. tariff law has brought ruin to
n livestock industry in Wyoming.
That In March. 1921, when Harding
was inaugurated, there was no mar
yet for wool or meats, and that the
warehouses were full of imported
frozen mutton; that the wooden mills
were closed down; that we had A.
100000 Idle men, and that agricul-
ture was at Its very lowest ebb.
A statement of Congressman Tin
cher that seemed to meet with the
unanimous approal of the audience
was that Barclay was looking at the
agricultural interests from his own
sectional viewpoint, which section
produces mostly tobacco, and when
the Kansas Congressman called at
tention to the fact that even Senator
kendrick had very willingly support
ed the Fordney-McCumber tariff law.
that perhaps he knew more of the
needs and wants of the people of
wyoming than Barclay did, it was
manifest that the audience was still
In favor of the Wyoming and not
the Kentucky language.
n Kansas Congressman also des-
cribed In detail the passage by the
Democrats of the Federal Reserve
Act, calling attention to the fact that
the Act was not amended once in the
House, but was passed in the DEM
ocratic caucus; that it has since been
proven that In that caucus Congress-
man Wingo. of Arkansas, and Con-
gresham Rucker. of Missouri, both
democrats, had asked t. amend the
Dill and allow agriculture to have
representation in the management of
the Federal Reserve system, but that
Carter Gass had insisted that the
caucus pass the bill without a single
amendment. He Wen on and called
attention to the vicious principle of
the Democratic caucus, showing how
Senator Kendrick, if he had been
a congressman. would have been
helpless against the solid South. and
now the Democrats did pass the bill
and leave agriculture entirely out.

ture. Congressman Tincher charged
that that Act alone was responsible
Tor the bank failures of today in
tina 1t cut farm values square in two,
whiie other values remained up SO
long that 1t bankrupted the farm
communities. He called attention
to the fact that the first official act
OF President Harding was to abolish
the graduated rate of interest, and
the first act OF the Republican Con-
gress was to amend this law and give
a place ON the board of directors of
the system to a farmer. He defied
Barclay to tell why he voted for

It's human nature for us to think
a mar should be well dressed only
when making a trip out of town,
where he will meet people upon
whom he wishes to make a good i'm

casion where propriety almost de-
mands we be d~ressed-up.

we make good Impressions, win add

almost daily contact with a far more
important part of our existence, and
happiness, than those occasional &C

ing that Rawlins' opinions of us

Both gentlemen spoke in the high
est terms Of the Wyoming represen-
tative in Congress. Congressman
Tfncher asserted no man had made
a better record in so short a time
than Representative Winter, and
Barclay agreed to this, and said 10
the audience that II Wyoming must
have a Republican in Congress he
would recommend that they keep a
good man like Winter.
They both spoke in the very high
est terms of Wyoming's two United
States Senators. They seemed to
get along amicably personally, but
about as we'll as two tom cats on
political issues.
Congressman Tincher spoke espec-
tally a~ffectionately of Senator War
rem. describing how, as a mere youth
he was helped by Senator Warren in
Congress, and how he has learned
to love him; that while the Senator
is growing old, he does more work
than any four or five young men.

a bufness In Torrington the other
day. He has taken great interest in
all matters pertaining to reclamation
and water rights and has beer indie
fatigable in his efforts to aid the
farmers Of the North Platte Valley.
In an interview with a reporter for
the Torrington Telegram Mr.. Sim
mons stated that he considered the
political situation as very favorable
for a complete Republican victory
this fall. AS regards the Wyoming
situation, he said that the service
that both Congressman Winter and
Senator Warren gave to the reclama-
ton farmers entitled them to a
strong endorsement at the polls in
November. In fact, he said, he did
not see how a farmer under any of
the projects could vote against these
W statesmen, except as an express
sion of ingratitude, for they worked
faithfully and untiringly in the inter
ests of reclamation farmers, and
would no countenance any move that
tended to thwart them from their
purpose. But for the unfortunate
situation of Senator Pittman Demo
