SHEARS PINI0N GEAR
ON SKULL CREEK HILL

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott had
what seems an almost miraculous
scape from a serious accident and
possible death on Friday night
while %enroute to Billings with their
truck. In going down the Skull
Greek hill the pinion gear sheared
off. and the breaks were in such
a condition hat they would not
check the speed of the car. Speed
was taken on with the result that
the car left the road and crashed
n a ravine at the bottom, COM
pletely t~elescoping the truck and
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Scott a CON
siderable distance. Fortunately nei-
II will suffer any serious conse-
quences as a result of their eX-
perience.
Mr. Scott resides in Meeteetse
h he operate a coal mine. They
were enroute to Billings to exchange
their truck for a new one which had
been bargained for.

Law Enforcement Paramount
Issue Before American People

The fight of law enforcement is
h most important issue before this
nation" said Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel and legislative SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
leage of America in an address at
the conference of the World Leage
Against Alcoholism at Winona Lake,
Indiana.
Nothing else matters" he con-
tinued. "If we confess that we can
not enforce u laws, we cease to
be a nation. We become, instead. a
mob. If ~lawbreakers. and not law
makers, control our policy. anarchy
Is supreme. Every foe of law and
order will take n new courage. If
we to a skeptical world
that we have not the courage to
hold to a victorious ideal because
1awless men oppose it, than any
world court ideals will be ~discontin-
ned likewise. Democracy will not
be trusted by these new nations

which have discarded kings. Human
progress will be turned back and
the current now steadily settling
toward a golden age will lose its
force in a backwater. Nothing else
matters so much as that the will
of the majority, expressed in legal
and orderly fashion, shall prevail.
THE law abiding majority of the
nation accepts the challenges of a
wet minority that the Constitution
cannot be and ought not to be en-
forced. Recent victories for law and
order inspire new confidence. Both
of the dominent political parties in
their conventions at Cleveland and
New York turned down the insistent
demand for wet planks and for the
first time adopted law enforcement
planks. indicating their determine
ton to defeat the vets program of
law defiance. The Independent plat
form ignores the plea for beer"

HUMAN GOPHERS TRY
TO TUNNEL TO VAULT

Workmen excavating for a new
building on the site of the former
National Bank of Commerce at Cas-
per which was recently merged with
the Wyoming Trust company of
Casper. discovered a tunnel on
which would-be bank robbers had
evidently worked prior to the trans
fer of the institution to the trust
company's location. Considerable
Roadway had been made on the tun-
mel, which started from the side of
the rear of the lot, but the human
gophers, when they ceased work.
were still a long way from the loot
they hoped to obtain from the bank
vaults. Explosives would have had
to be used before they could have
gained access to any large amount
of money. The tunnel followed an
old water line which was used by
the yeggs to guide them in their
approach to the building.

FUTURE BEET IRRIGATIONS NO LESS
IMPORTANT THAN THE FIRST

Virtually every beet field has been watered once
by this date. Some growers who began irrigating early
have now applied water to the beet crop a second time.
Irrigation having been started there is even less
occasion during the balance of the growing season than
there was earlier to withhold water on tire mistaken
theory that it would make a better crop to wilt the
plants.
Tests have shown that frequent irrigations. storing
IN the soil a supply of moisture sufficient continuously
to keep the plant foods in solution for use by the feed
ing r%ootlets, gave the highest yields per acre.
The quantity of water that should be applied can
not be stated here in specific terms for all fields. Alb
sorbing and retaining ability of different soil varies.
The rate OF evaporation differs in the various localities
under changing atmospheric conditions.
But generally the past fortnight has been marked
by hot, dry weather. Therefore, in most cases from
now on irrigations every ten days or two weeks-with-
out fooding-are indicated
Avoid flooding as it tends to exclude the air from
the beet roots and Injuries the crop.
A dark green color of the beet leaves usually in
dicates that the moisture is running low. Severe whiting
in the daytime and failure to revive during the night is
a danger sign.
Watch your beets and irrigate them when they
begin to show signs of wanting water.

be haunted by his ghost Is one Of the

to the gospel story, Is related in "The

1t appears that after the cruclhxion
POntius PLATE fell from imperial favor
and killed himself In prison. where
upon his body was cast into the Tlber,
which rose In protest and almost burst
its banks. Ultimately the body was
taken to Il lonely pool at the top Of the
mountain which now bears Its name
near Lucerne.
According to another version, PLATE
retired here during his lifetime and
was thrown into the pool by the Wan
derlng Jew. In any case his presence
caused terrible trouble, avalanches
and foundations devastating the dis
trlct amid fendlsh din in the re-
cesses of the mountains.
A Spanish scholar volunteered to
exercise the troubled spirit, and all the
way up he was beset by torrents as
wide MS rivers, abysses of Infinite
depth, all Of which instantly bridged
themselves at the sign of the cross.
At the pool, however, PLATE ap-
peared as tall as a tower, brandlshlng
a pine trunk. A terrific combat en-
auad Iaafinp NIL div md night while
tho whole mountain rocked. PLATE
was at last reduced to terms, swearing
to remain quiet IN his pool except on
Fridays, when he might roam about
the mountain.
A law was passed that none should
dare to climb the peak on Fridays and
such as did so met plate In red judi
cial robes and returned blinded or
malmed for life.
