EDITOR SMITHS NEWSPAPER
CREED; EXPLAINS OCCASIONAL
"GAUN TINESS" OF THE news

this refinement and culture we have
sought not only to reflect in our per-
sonality but in our columns.
Noone deserves ~slandering or slur-
ring by newspaper, but discreet
criticisms are often in order. We
have at no time failed to express di-
creetly our opinions on anything pub
lie for this community's good and we
have never harbored the grudge of
another except if the person with the
grievance affixes his or her name.
This policy will ever be ours.
In our walk and conversation our
life has been replete with seriousness
accompanied with pent up and uncon-
strained smiles for others. We have
V been a crouch nor a sorehead,
entirely the opposite.
When our paper has to offer any
thing for the glory and advancement
of this community and the country
surrounding its services will be entire
ly free. We are gratified for the past
support accorded us, conscious that
high prices have never found lodge
ment here nor never will. We owe to
live and let live.

thing it gave out. Knife-like pains
cut across the small of my back.
Doan's Pills had been used in

Porcupine Saves
Lives of Sailors

SEWARD, Alaska.-An unwritten
law of the north, never to kill a por-
cupine except for food, was recalled
to oldtimers here when four men with
two gasoline boats were cast up on a
rocky and inhospitable shore of Cook
Inlet, on the other side of Kenai pen
Ursula from here, and remained a
month before they were rescued. They
lived on porcupine and clans. When
they were brought off by the halibut
boat Judoslav, they were in tip-top
condition.
To Stay a %porcupine wantonly is, in
the code of the prospector and mush-
er, as wicked as to depart from a shell
ter without replenishing the supply of
dry kindling. Porcupine immunity
was founded on the frequency with
which lei whose provisions became
exhausted in the wilds were succored
by the flesh of these animals. The
Alaska porcupine, a sluggish being, is
easily overtaken by man and sue
cumbs quickly to a clout with a stick.

WYOMING HONEY BEES
SOLD BY The POUND
C. L. CORKINS,
State Entomologist

The buying and selling of honey
bees by the pound, the same as sugar,
butter or any other common commod-
ity, may sound absurd to the unfam-
liar public, but nevertheless is rap
idly becoming the standard method
of bartering in bees. The usual num-
Der of bees to the pound is 5000. In
Wyoming we have a long building up
period for the bees in the spring of
the year, commencing with the first
bloom of the dandelion and extending
up until the first crop of alfalfa bios
SONS. 1t is therefore possible to start
with 10000 to $4,000 bees, or 2 to 8
pounds at the beginning of the dande-
lion bloom and build them up to 1907
000strong for the main honey flow
and make it possible for them to
gather as much honey as bees over
wintered in Wyoming.
Bees purchased by the pound are
ordinarily secured from the Southern
states where the early spring makes
such a business profitable. The more
usual way of having bees shipped by
the pound is in a package constructed
of wire screen. We speak of package
bees as those shipped without their
natural combs and with a sterile food
supply. This is by far the most sat
isfactory way for the beginner to pur-
chase bees, as we'll as anyone else for
that matter, for it insures a 100 per
cent immunity from brood diseases.
Package bees may be shipped by ex
press or parcel post. For those on a
direct railroad connection from a
southern shipping point it has been
found more satisfactory, the more ex-
pensive to ship by express. For com
munities off the railroad, such as the
Star Valley, parcel post shipments
will be found the better for quick de-
livery.
Bees are also sold by the pound as
Nuclei, which means that the required
number of pounds are put upon their
natural brood frames along with the
brood present. Such a practice is dis
couraged because the brood combs are
the carriers of dangerous bee diseases.
In fact such shipments cannot be i'm
ported into Wyoming unless they are
accompanied by a permit from the
state apiary Inspector at Laramie. The
state apiary inspector will not grant
such a permit unless he has evidence
to prove that the bees are reasonably
free from disease. Shipments without
such permits are c~onfiscated by the
county apiary inspectors and burned.
If you are interested in buying bees
by the pound, the apiary specialist of
the Wyoming Extension Service at

Mountain Sheep
Found in Nevada

TONOPAH, Nevf-A herd of 70
mountain sheep was discovered by F.
M. Rapp, a mining engineer while
prospecting in the Silver Peak range.
While it was known that mountain
sheep inhabited this territory it was
not believed they were so numerous.
Contrary to popular belief, Rapp
said they take to sheer chiffs only
when danger threatens. At other
times they stay on the gentler slopes
of the higher mountains. Plans are
being made to bring an expert hum
ter to Nexada next summer to ex-
terminate the cougar, the greatest
enemy of mountain sheep.

From a"Dry Ship"
Ssewardeas

am 100 per cent American, and a
strict teetotaler. l have worked on
ships running "bars," and "dry ships"
l have seen men, after the days work
was over, congregate together to en-
joy their days allowance of one bot
tie of beer OF stout, tell stories, crack
jokes, sing songs, fraternize generally,
and finally dispense to their "glory
holes" content and happy. Sailing
days those same men were on duty
smart, alert, in possession of their
senses. On s~o-called wet ships" pas
sengers so inclined drink to theil
hearts content, in the various quar-
tiers of the ship allotted for that pur-
pose. In comparison with the above,
l have seer more drunkenness among
passengers, more disgraceful state
room scenes, rowdy midnight frolics,
on so-called dry ships than l have
ever seen on ships running a bar.
Among the crew., conditions have been
even more deplorable. Sailing-day
scenes-the least said about the bet
ter. My opinion is that there is no
such thing as a dry ship afloat, and
the so-called dry ships are the wettest
of the lot.
You ask: "Can you make men jack
up their habits toward goodness by
act of law"
No, sir.
Why? Because there is a lot of hui
man nature in man.

Hot Chocolate Is Delicious At

~ HOCOLATE' is favorite bever 4 age to serve at small gathering
 these raw spring evenings. IT. make it really delicious drink il should be made with care. Whether you use the powdered chocolate or the squares, mix it with the sugar and stiI it up with little hot water until it is smooth before mixing it with the hot milk.
 Avoid oversweetening, as guests can sweeten it to taste. The addition of vanilla extracts is considered an i'm provement by many cooks. A few min. utes' boiling will give richer beverage
 A pleasing variety may be achieved by adding few marshmailows or their equivalent in marshmallow cream and beating the mixture, a couple of min utes with an egg beater before serving.
 When serving chocolate fill cups two-thirds full and on top put tea spoonful of whipped cream or couple of marshmallows. When using marsh mallows select the inexpensive variety, as these melt more quickly.
 : Instead of melting the chocolate in water, coffee may be used, making a chocolate cream nectar which requires no milk. Melt two squares of choco- late over hot water, add one-half cup full of liquid coffee, cook two minutes, stirring constantly. Add one cupful of sugar and three cupfuls of boiling water; boil five minutes. Flavor with teaspoonful of vanilla and serve with whipped cream or marshmallows.

THE TREND OF FASHION
INGERIE of the present m

M AANNAAsAG O4 eAV PA AOoChk AhO- l. ment is subject of much
 fashion interest. There are the new materials to be considered, the different lines emphasized, and values and interesting trimmings to be described.
 Frequently it appears that the most effective results are achieved by the simplest means. For instance there is one set composed of night gown and step-in chemise made of white batiste with the upper part of fine white net. At intervals large circular motifs are embroidered in blue or yellow silk on the net back ground. Another set of equal sim plicity is trimmed with footing edged on either side with narrow black Valenciennes lace.
 Black footing trims lingerie of peach color crepe while on several models the net is dyed to match the color of the fabric. Quite the new est thing for the girl who looks to the practical qualities of her lin- gerie as we'll as to it's charm, is un- derwear made of tub silk either in striped or checked designs.
 {. It is very smart and most attrac- tive, and permits on to indulge in striking color effects. Shown in the sketch is a pajama suit of white silk striped in gray and coral. Rose and white checks are chosen for a straight chemise and step-in draw CTS which are made even more at- tractive by bindings and inserted bands of old blue silk.
 The costume slip that is an essen- tial of every we'll planned wardrobe is shown this spring in a number of new interpretations among which is the model sketched. This is made of peach colored crepe de Chine trimmed with Irish lace edged on either side with real Valenciennes.

Ain't it queer whaI ideas kids get, queer as the dickens?
 Kids aren't the only ones," de clared his father. It's too bad about Sam. Where did he catch them?'
 Then? Oh, you mean it, corrected Bobby. "I don't know, only his mother says she wished he'd stay away iron the doctors, where he picks up every old thing, you know Sam's going to bt a doctor when he ain't sure he's going U be a aviator, and he goes over tG Susies fathers lot and looks at the skeleton and things like that. There was measles lying around maybe and he get lem. Do they hurt?"
 'Not always" said Bobby's father.

He showed 'em to me just before the doc tor come and he said he was keeping 'em to show the fellers at school. His mother, she didn't hear me come in, and she was real mad at me and made me go home. I don't think she was awful polite, when sam had knocked on the window and hollered to me through the glass that he got something to fshow me. Do doctors make an awful lot of money?''
 Some of them," said his father feel. ingly. At least it seems like a lot to me. And they ought to when they have to give medicine to boys with the humps who won't take it."
 'I did, too, take it." cried Bobby "You must think I'm like Scrubby, who lives over. on Aunt Mary's street. His mother said he had to eat oatmeal, and when she was out of the room he poured it down a rat hole in the corner. Only we ain't got any rat hole"

New White Fur Collar And
 Cuff Set
T0HE COMBINATION of black

.THE COMBINATION of black
 and white still holds foremost place in the mode and black satin has been acclaimed one of the most fashionable of the spring materials. One idea combines the spring idea with winter, by placing collars and cuffs of fur on a satin dress.
 ! The dress is simplicity itself, with a tight bodice, long tight sleeves and a straight skirt. A double row of cord ing forms the belt and is used to fin fish of the bottom of the skirt. Either ermine or rabbit fur can be used for the collar, which is cut so that it snugly fits tight about the throat, making soft outline circular, like the collar, and both the cuffs and col lar are lined with jade green crepe de chine.s They are not fastened on the dress, but attached by means of snappers, so that they can be easily removed and kept softlessly clean and fluffy. This fur collar thought could be beautifully carried out with com bination of dark brown velvet and beaver, if one dif not care for satin just yet

Blackheads Go Quick
 By This Simple Method

Blackheads-big ones or little ones soft ones or hard ones-on any part of the body, go quick by a simple method that just dissolves them. To do this get about two ounces of calonite powder from your druggist-sprinkle a little on a hot, wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly for a few seconds and wash off. You'll wonder where the blackheads have gone. Pinching and squeezing blackheads only open the pores of the skin and leave them large and unsightIy-while the simple application of calonite powder and the water dissolve them right out, leaving the skin soft and the pores in their natural condition.
