He charges that ''they have devoted

This observation has been frequent
ly made and even newspaper men re-
porting important litigation involving
powerful corporations have observed
it bit cynically, but it gains weight
from the fact that it comes now in
the form of confession from one in
position to know. Mr.. Wilkinson has
put his finger on the outstanding rea-
son for such cynicism in the public as
may exist.
Powerful interests engaged in the
exploitation of the public are too
prone to violate the law intended for
the public's protection because of
their confidence in the ability of a
clever lawyer to save them from the
penalty through bubbles, technicali-
ties and delays" A very able lawyer

Killing Time.

One seldom hears of sensible men
and women burning money, tossing
gold into the river or deliberately eat
ing poison which will shorten their
lives. On the contrary most of our
waking hours are devoted to planning
means by which we may gain those
things which make life enjoyable.
Why then this strange custom of
killing time? At most and hest all of
us have but few years in which to
accomplish that for which we came
into this world. The hours O; childhood,
the day of youth and school and the
deliberate years of old age ali serve
to rob us of time in which to do our
share of the worlds work.
Time in reality is the most precious
thing any of us posses. 1t is that of
which we really have the least in all
the world. All about us is great
supply of every thing we require
just waiting for our industry and
thrift to make it ours. There is food
to be had in abundance if we but
work for it. Each man may have
home and furnish it as lavishly as
his industry and good taste permits.

signed to it. Chances are the man
intimidates her into doing this. Then
the "old man" comes home, finds out
what has taken place and he "hits
the roof"
This very thing actually happened in
the home of member of The Far
mer's Protective Association. The
picture ordered called for payment Of
$3.50, and there was to he "free"
picture by way of good me lsure. The
"good man" was not home when the
delivery man arrived, and the "little
woman" was plumb scared INFO giving
her husbands check for $50 80. Friend
husband promptly ordered payment on
the check stopped, and now the por-
trait company is threatening to sue
him for $1,000. He wants to know
if they can collect it. They can't.
The portrait company may legally de-
mand payment of $3.50 and not a
cent more. Besides, we'll wager that
they won't sue under any circum-
stances.
Furthermore and lastly, the pic
lures themselves resemble the orig
inals about as much as bull frog re-
sembles sparrow. It's nothing more
or less than skin game, folks.-St.

There is plenty to read, eat, wear and
enjoy.
There is an abundance OF every
thing except time. And yet it is of this
very precious commodity time that
| we are the most careless. We fritz
ter it away on trifles. We squander
it with senseless things which do not
even bring US pleasure.
Killing time on the job is ar unfort-
innate practice of a lot of people. They
feel that whatever loafing they can
put over on the boss is a clever bit
of muscular or mental thrift. These
folks fail utterly to realize that when
they steal half an hour of time from
their employer they not only do him
an injury but they treat themselves
far worse.
There is no task in the world which
cannot be done better than you are
doing it. The man or woman who
studies the duties which come to hand
cumstances but leaves behind better
method to help those who follow after
him. If this is not true then we should
still be grading wheat, travelling by
stage coach and eating handground
corn.
All employers are not blind to in
dustry and initiative among those
they employ. Those killing time are
always known and sooner or later
are always shaken out of an organiza-
ton while those who make the most
of their opportunities always win in
the long run.
Women who kill time socially at the
expense Of their families are doing
themselves far more harm than they
ever can guess. The harvest always
comes intears and regret.
Men who kill time viii I'll belongs to
those dependent on them are as culp-
able as though they failed to provide
their children with food and shoes.
The home needs the presence of the
father and the mother. Without both
disaster is certain.
Seize the passing hours while they
are yet yours, store up an day both
the material and spiritual things
which make for full and complete
life and when you near the end of
your journey there will be no cause
to lament that you have wasted Gods
most gracious gift to mankind time.

The Picture Enlarging
Racket.

One of the old "strong-arr," games
that refuses to die is the yicture-en-
larging racket" 1t is worked by
crews of men who Systematically
canvass whole communities at time
representing, we will say, The Graft
ing Portrait Company. These are
real high-powered statesmen, and about
the only way to get rid OF them is to
drive them off with a club.
Here is the way their game is work.
ed: You sign an order for a picture
enlargement at an agreed price, for
example of $3.50. This covers the
picture only and nothing is said about
the price of the frame. The man
goes on his way and some two or
three months later another man comes
along to deliver the picture. 1t is in
a fine, big, gilt frame for which they
want as much as for tie picture.
Here is where the rub comes in"
The picture is not much good to
you without the frame, and they
know it. Maybe you object to paying
for the frame. You don't have to
pay for it, understand thai. But the
man is a past master in the art of
wheedling or bullying, whichever may
seem at the time to be the best meth
cd, and nine times out of ten you take
the COMPOUNDED thing, pay for it and
consider yourself 'stung"
Suppose the good wife is alone
when the man comes. That's just the
way they like to have it. If she does
not happen to have the money, the
man will, by one means or another,
get check with the husbands name

MURPHY
PASSED
THIS MORNING

Steve Murphy, the two year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Murphy,
died at 6:45 this morning at the
home of its parents from pneumonia.
The small boy had been failing for
the past month but had been up and
around the house most of the time
until the past week when he was
taken seriously i'll and was confined
to his bed.
A few days age it was decided
that the parents would take the boy
to Denver where it would have the
services of specialists, however, it
was later decided that If the lad was
taken to Denver it would lessen the
few chances he had of living. The
nature of the child's sickness was
such that few hopes were held out
for his recovery. Several compiled
tons entered into the case but the
immediate cause of his death vas
pneumonia.
AS yet no arrangements have been
made for the funeral or the time at
which it will be held.
The Murphy's ave the most heart
felt sympathies of the entire COM
munity in the loss of their baby son
and it is hoped that the great hand
of time will lessen the orrow of the
bereaved parents.

side state residents to secure a Ii
cense from the Colorado authorities.
In that the matter directly affect
ed members of the Carbon County
Woolgrowers Association, that organ
ization had pledged funds for the
fighting of the case and carrying 1t
through to the Supreme court of
Colorado. AS stated the law was de-
clared unconstitutional and at the
last session Of the Colorado legis-
lators another bill of similar nature
was passed and approved by the
governor Of that state, however, sew
eral features were corrected SO that
II possible the law would stand the
tests Of the courts.
Mr.. Brimmer gave the opinion that
the law recently passed is unconsti-
tutional in that it designed to prevent
outside sheep from entering Colorado
for summer grazing and in doing so
1t shows special preference to Colo
RADIO residents. Also the license fee
of 25 cents per head which may in
clude the lambs is unreasonable.
1t Is believed that the Carbon
County Woolgrowers Association
will help financially again In the
fighting of the ease in the Colorado
courts.
MI. Wilson again took the floor
and gave an able discussion on the
leasing, or controlling bill. as he call
ed it-Senate Bill No. 4076. He
said that the matter of the Colorado
case was insignificant compared to
the Senate Bill No. 4076, II this bill
passed as it stands Undoubtedly
some legislation will pass the next
session Of Congress. said Mr.. Wilson,
thus 1t was necessary for the wool
growers to get together and try to
keep out as many Objectionable fea-
lures as possible.

F. M. JOHNSTON
A
ROTARY LUNCH

Rotarian Frank NJ. Johnston was
the principal speaker at the regular
noon luncheon of the Rawlins Ro-
tary Club held Tuesday last. Mr.
Johnston a couple weeks ago gave a
talk regarding his recent visit to
Panama, South America and other
southern points. His talk was so in
teresting and instructive that he was
asked to give further details at the
meeting Tuesday. Tuesdays talk
was exceptionally interesting and
those present secured much valuable
information regarding the places
visited by Mr.. Johnston.
Rotarian c. l.. Bunten gave a short
talk regarding a toy pistol which he
invented and which is now on the
market. DR.. Bunten explained the
principal of the gun and gave a DEM
onstration OF its accuracy. This new
toy is being we'll received wherever
1t has been placed on the market and
DR.. Bunten states that those behind
the marketing of this toy expect large
returns.

N. R. GREENFIELD
IS CHAIRMAN OF
LEGION DRIVE

Fred Duncan Post of The American
Legion feels very fortunate in the
selection of Attorney N. r. Green
field as local chairman of Child We'll
fare. State Department H%eadquart-
ers announce that during the month
of May wyoming will raise its quota
of 10000 for the National Child
Welfare movement. Contributions
to the fund are in order at any time.
There are 10000 orphans of world
war veterans without care. The plan
in brief is tC give all possible pro-
lection and care to these children
and assist the disabled veterans to
get back on their feet. This feature
of relief work Is not being covered
by Government agencies.
Until the present time the Ameri-
can Legion has been carrying on this
work from its own limited funds,
but 1t has become so large a task
that help is needed or much of the
good work must be curtailed. The
American public Is asked to become

Plans are now being matured for

Post gains no profit from this move
ment, but its members unanimously
endorse the plan and will have charge
of raising its share of the fund.

men VINO neld their WOOL received
on the average Of six cents per pound
more for their wool than those who
sold at shearing time.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he thought
the condition would be the same this
year. At the present time the mar
ket is at its lowest point, but that
before long it would again advance
considerably. The dealers are faced
with the same condition and prob
lens as existed last year, thus the
market is only temporarily low
Mr.. Wilson then explained the CO.
operative marketing and advance
plan to the members. The members
in turn asked him a number of spec
ific questions and a general discus
sion on the matter was had. 1t Is
believed hat the new plan will work
much better and quicker than any
plan that has been devised or used
In the past.
AS another matter of interest and
Importance which was presented to
the woOlgrowers in Carbon county,
w. P. Hays. member of the Rawlins
Chamber OF Commerce on the new
wooden mill committee, talked to the
Association on the plan OF building
a wooden mill in Rawlins or near
vicinity.
Mr.. Hays stated that Rawlins. like
every other progressive city which
is looking forward to growth and in
dustries, had been looking around
for an industry which would be of
great benefit to the community. AS
one of the most logical and profit
able the members of the Chamber of
Commerce had selected the erection
of a wooden mill. The Chamber has
had considerable correspondence on
the matter and are now in a posi-
ton to put the proposition squarely
before the wool growers.
Carbon county, and especially Raw
Inns. Is situated to the best of ad-
vantage for a wooden mill. The sup
ply is more than adequate. the mar
ket Is very accessible and material
is also within easy reach of Rawlins.
Even though the proposition is in
the embryo state as far as a lot of
details are concerned, 1t is felt that
the plan is a creditable n and is
worthy of deep consideration. The
cooperation OF the w~oolgrowers of
this section is absolutely necessary
and II was for this reason that Mr..
Hays appeared before the meeting
on Monday afternoon He stated
that he hoped the Association would
give the matter consideration and
would cooperate with the Chamber
of Commerce on the working out OF
the plan, in fact 1t was suggested
that the Association appoint n mem
Der from their organization to work
with the Chamber OF Commerce com
mittee.
AS another matter Of great import
ance to the woolgrowers in Carbon
county. Clarence Brimmer, repre-
seneing the law firm of Brimmer and
Brimmer made a report OF the law
case which was recently handled by
his firm in conjunction with Attorney
Pugh OF Colorado. The Migratory

rectors. The advisory board is COM
posed of D.. p. Espy, Abe Stratton,
w. w. Daley. ]. X. HART and l.. E
Vivion.
AS one of the first matters brought
up at the meeting, President W. A.
Mckay stated that the valuation OF
the grazing land in the county was
exceedingly high and although it was
in the power Of the county COM
missioners to lower the assessments,
they had refused to do so.
In asking Mr.. Wilson's opinion on
the matter he said that the county
commissioners could reduce the graz
ing ices as could the State Board of
Equalization but that 1t was a matter
of passing the buck from one to the
other. The Board OF County Com
missioners put up the plea that they
could moi run the county on the fees
collected II the valuation on the
grazing lands was lowered. Mr.. Will
son also stated that the tax levy could
be raised to equalize the lowering of
the grazing land valuation. Other
counties had reduced the fees on the
grazing lands, thus it was only fair
that the Carbon county commission
ers should lower their valuation. The
main point brought out was that it
vas in the power of the county com
missioners to lower the valuation on
grazing land in this county
w w. Daley. secretary OF the
Association made a financial report
to the members. Although, as II
was brought out, the report was not
extended 1t showed the association to
be in a fair shape financially and
that in the past year the association
had accomplished good results and
forwarded the interests of the mem
bers. Also 1t was stated that the
organization has considerable import
ant work before It In the coming year
some OF the work being the fighting
of the move to cut down the number
OF sheep which are permitted to-
Craze in the National forests.
Mr.. Daley reported that recent cor
respondence had with the forest SUI
pcrvisors indicated a general reduc-
tion In the number OF sheep allowed
on all allotments in the Routt forests
W tdht CdIt Of sHtep WHICH uTt Dt-
Ing purchased by residents of Colo
RADIO and the line adjacent to and
within the boundaries of that forest.
In view of the fact that present
users have acquired tracts of land for
their fall and winter grazing in keep
ing with the present number OF
sheep owned and for further reason
that there is no additional summer
range outside OF forests. a cut down
in the number allowed to Craze with
in the forests areas will do ire
parable damage to owners of said
lands upon which taxes In great
amount are now collected In Car
bon and Sweetwater counties.
Byron Wilson gave n splendid talk
and discussion on cooperative mar
keting and advances. As one OF the
main features of his talk he brought
out that early In the season last year.
around October. between 20 and 10
per cent OF the wool In the west had
been contracted for. Last year the
price on the clips continued to raise
until about January or February
and then buying dropped off almost
completely. Later in the season the
prices came up again and the wool
