Lincoln's Example

There is a lesson that we all may well take to heart in the
life of Abraham Lincoln. Summed up in a few words, it can
be expressed thus:
Whether you reach the top or not depends pretty much
upon yourself! Lincoln was born of poor parents. Friends, so
cal life, even ordinary opportunities were denied him. He
knew only hard w~orkglnder the worst conditions. But it only
spurred him on, He looked ahead-and dreamed.
There were no Libraries for him to turn to. The benefits
of our present day schooling were not his. So he borrowed
what books he could, and read and worked and dreamed on!
Lincoln gave himself an education. As he read, in front of an
open fireplace, his dreams grew bigger-but never were they
dreams of personal power.
Time let him gradually find his place in the scheme of
things. Dreams began to come true. But only after he had
studied them out and worked them out for himself. Lincoln,
of course, did not know what his goal was going to be. He did
not think of going from prairie cabin to capitol" He only
dreamed of bigger and better things-and then did them. The
whole world benefited by the reward that came to him. There
is room, in this world, for more dreamers-who are big
enough to make their dreams come true!

Editor Tribune: Here is a little
piece I would like for you to print.
All my life l have heard of Buff
fslo, Wyoming. and what a pretty
place 1t was. Then 1 lived in east
ern Wyoming on the pralries for
some nine or ten years. and the
cowpunchers used to tell Of Buffalo
and how pretty it was. with their
mouths watering. But always the
motif of their song was the trees
in Buffalo. Well, l finally went to
Buffalo in 1922, and 1 was certainly
terribly disappointed. OF course.
the trees / had heard so much about
were there. but they were mostly
tall. overgrown cottonwoods, all
much in need OF pruning and shap-
Ing and trimming-just tall. gangly
rank cottonwoods. 1 am frank to
say they did not make much of a
hit with me But think of-the hit
they made with the Wyoming cow
punchers all those years. SO much
so that Buffalo represented to their
minds a heaven to go TO whenever
opportunity offered.
Now Casper can be made a haven
for the cowpunchers OF central Wyo-
ming by lining its streets with trees,
and let's do 1t. Let's do 1t, first.
from an aesthetic sense. and second.

punchers. and thirdly because 1t will
bring people and business to our
town. Let's make Casper the most

n Peacefully Adjusted

The Whitney educational trust, which transfers a million
dollars from the estate of the late Edward A. Whitney within
the next three years, and which Sheridan county seeks to tax
by legislative enactment is by way of being settled "out of
court" The trust has three years yet to run, having been
created seven years ago. Arrival of Joseph D. Thorn, banking
partner of the late Edward A. Whitney, in Cheyenne, and
with Supreme Justice Frederick II. Blume, both of whom are
trustees and executors of the Whitney will, and together with
attorneys and Sheridan county representatives and senators in
the legislature, an amicable adjustment was arranged, where
by taxes will be levied upon the estate regardless of the educa-
tional purposes to which the property is to be devoted. The
estate will pay taxes for 1926 and 1927. After that it will pass
to the people of Sheridan county to found a school of tech
nology, under direction of the district court.
The necessary legislation will be put through the present
session.

-FABLES ON HEALTH-
LIGHT DIET ESSENTIAL WHEN
YOU HAVE MUMPS

quently in spring and autumn es-
pecially during wet weather.
One Of the most serious aspects Of
mumps is the frequent and painful
complications that may develop in
other glands. Other infrequent
complications are great prostration,
tendency to wild delirium, disturb
ances of the tissues Of the spinal
cord and brain, inflammation of the
middle ear, tonsilitis and pneumonia.
A patient suffering from humps
should be kept quiet, in bed, in or
der that none of these serious com
plications may develop.
Light Diet Is Big Help
a light diet such as eggs, broth,
milk, and rice pudding should be
given. Sour food and acid drinks if
taken into the mouth will be found
to give considerable pain. If there
is much pain hot applications may
be placed over the swollen h.aAtJ.
Laxatives should be given when
necessary.
You should remember:
l. In the prevention of mumps
that necessary precautions should be
taken in order that the disease may
not be spread to others.
2. That all cases of mumps
should be isolated.
3. No person who has not had the
disease should be allowed to come in
contact with an exposed non-im-
mune for at least twenty-one days
after the last exposure.
5. That all articles soiled with(
discharges from the nose and throat
OF the patient should be thoroughly
| disinfected or burned.

1t cannot be supposed. however. that the primary

BY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING
Surgeon General. United States Pub.
lie Health Service

Mumps is an acute infectious dis
ease usually affecting children, but
frequently occurring in older people.
1t affects the parotid glands which
are on each side Of the head just
below the ear.
1t usually occurs in children of
from five to fifteen years Of age
but may recur at any age.
Mumps is conveyed from one pa
tient to another by contact.
The first symptoms are pain and
swelling in the parotid region under
the ear. Movements Of the jaws,
such as. chewing and talking are
painful. The swelling may occur
on one or both sides. Usually both
sides are involved.
The attack generally comes on
about fifteen to twenty days after
exposure to the disease. 1t is at it's
worst about the third day and may
gradually disappear after that.
Mumps is contagious before the
symptoms appear and for some time
after the symptoms have disappear
ed. The disease may, and frequently
does occur as an epidemic. The par
otid glands are most frequently the
ones first involved. After these the
submaxillary and other glands may
be attacked.
Germs Come From Mouth and Nose
Mumps is rarely spread by indi-
rect contact or by third person.
The virus is contained in the Sc
.cretions from the mouth and per-
haps the nose. 1t occurs more fire.

French Debt Settlement

Now comes the French debt and that will be
harder
For one thing, both sides insist refusing to
discuss more than fraction Of the whole situa-
ton
The French claim that it would infringe their
Sovereignty" to permit us to discuss possible say
ings in the French budget If the actual budget
leaves very little to pay with. must not point
that most of that budget goes for expenses that
could be given up--the maintenance Of the largest
army in the world, and aid to the Little Entente"
to support armies which they could never keep up
on their own account.
TO be sure, J. Pierpont Morgan has repeatedly
and successfully thus invaded the sovereignty" Of
France, but our government must not.
And if we were to claim that the whole question
could not be discussed without including the whole
situation, the French might counter by offer -
do exactly that-only the whole would then in
cude also the interrelated allied debts. And this
will no more discuss than France will the budget.

self that it will be easy. as pleasant.

Creased Trousers an Error

There have been different stories at different
times as to how the crease came into vogue
Thirty years ago the Count de Craven filled the
role of social arbter in France, as Brumme once
did in England The day of the counts marriage
his valet brought his trousers sharply creased The
count, not noticing this, put them on and went to
the wedding. Only after the ceremony did he. to
his great confusion, observe this error. There was
much discussion of it. Some men who were charmed
with the effect Immediately ordered trousers with
crease-and the fashion established.

Standardization works for every
thing but humans. The same money
will give more children better rooms,
clothes and food in orphan 'asylums
than in scattered homes, where they
might be individually adopted. Simp-
ly as q matter of economic distribu :
ton, the large scale method is the
| more efficient. But as matter of
human welfare, the individual home
is infinitely better, and we are every
where coming to it.
Education is harder. The whole
sale lock-step is being only gradu-
ally broken in our common schools.
Higher up. universities have grown
until they almost need a brigadier
general to herd the students in and
out.
"This place is like biscuit fac
tory" said discouraged professor.
"ln the factory, they run train
load of wheat in at one end and a
trainload of packed biscuits out at
the other. The sign says that, in
the interval, the goods have not been
touched by human hands That is a
fine way to make biscuits, but bad
way to educate students"
Criminology is worst Of all. The
worst way to reform a criminal is to
put him in prison.
Most criminals are young, the pro-
duct of bad homes.
Many of them could have been
saved by putting them in time into
good homes.
Few Of them are helped by putting
them into even good institutions.
Most of them are spoiled by throw
ing them into prison.
Industry is most important, be-
cause it affects Us all. Mass pro-
duction turns out more and better
steel or shoes. But it does not. in
side the works, make for better men.
Its better wages and shorter hours
may give them more chance for i'm
provement outside, but, to them,
"life" is something apart from work.
The man at the lever Of the peg
machine in a modern shoe factory
gets better pay for less work than
did his predecessor, the village cob
bier. But the cobbler, working all
day at his bench, and living his life
in his work, was also often the viii
lage philosopher.
