 Rome, Feb. 1l,-All attempts to negotiate concordat between the Vatican and the Italian government have so far failed because the Holy See, 1t Is stated ih circles close to the government, has made 1t pri- mary condition that the concordat be acknowledged by all the pow CTS, thus becoming an international agreement.

WHO OWNS THE CORPORATIONS

In 1900 the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company, one of the
five American corporations with total
investments of more than $1,000
100000 each, was owned by 1900
stockholders. Today 1t is owned by
more than $4,000 stockholders. APP
proximately $4,000 employees are
stockholders in the United States
Steel Corporation, another billion
dollar concern. The steam railroads
are owned by upwards Of III, 900
stockholders. Customer ownership
has added more than 900
shareholders in the electric light
and power companies.
This wider ownership of the prof
table businesses of the country is
a great reinforcement to lasting pros
perity. 1t demonstrates that people
have at last begun to discriminate
between untried, get-rich-quick lures
and the stable businesses that offer
a record of actual earning power and
a fair return on their stocks and
bonds.
More than 100000 persons have
more than $780, 900, 900, 900 in saw

Highland Park Plant
In Detroit Continues
to be Big Attraction

The Highland Park plant of the
Ford Motor Company continues to be
the big attraction for visitors in De-
troit, and they come from all over
the world.
Last year more than 10000 peo-
pie were escorted thru the plant.
Guides are always on hand to show
visitors the interesting phases of
Ford manufacture, for the company
invites inspection not only of its
great plants in Detroit, but also its
assembly plants throughout the coun-
try. Summer months bring the
largest number visitors and in
1924 August held the record at
Highland Park with 30,64O.
Among the distinguished visitors
last year was the Prince Of Wales
and the youngest of the notables was
Jackie CoOgan. Most every country
was represented in the visitors.
To the average person the final
assembly holds the most interest

Training is given in any trade, in

trained under its supervision in M
ployment in line with this training.
The Claims and Rating Board, with
j. c. Littlefield as chairman, which
passes on the veterans claims and
makes ratings in accordance with its
findings, consists of five members
and meets in person with any veteran

MOTORIsT SUED BY II. r.

Here is the other side of it: A
motorist who drove his car onto a
Southern Pacific track in California,
and went to sleep, succeeded in
damaging a locomotive; and the CON-
pany sued him for the repair costs.
Why not? Just because the rail-
road corporation is big" it loses no
rights to decent protection. 1t is a
public necessity, that must be main
tanned. 1t has its right-of-way, and
no turn-outs; its trains must make
regular schedules as provided by law.
The motorist has no more right reck-
lessly Dr. maliciously to impose costs
upon the million-dollar security hold
ers. than he has to steal from the
blind apple woman; o has he the
right to 90 unscathed after causing a
railroad wreck hat kills railroad
passengers.
This suit along a new line of
thought may establish a precedent for
automobile responsibility that will
directly affect the $4,000 automobile
killings every year.

LEGION BRANCH
OFFICE CASPER
HAS MUCH WORK

A branch of one of the biggest
business institutions in America is
now in full operation in Casper, the
personnel and records of the last
department to be decentralized from
Denver having arrived and are now
at work.
The United States Veterans Blu
reau has a man sized job on it's
hands, when one thinks that there
are only a few of the industrial cor
porations in this country which have
large financial operations.
The branch office of this bureau
which is known as the regional Of
flee, has offices in the Becklinger
building of this city The Veterans
Bureau is charged by law with the
duty of providing medical care and
disqualification for disabled veterans;
of providing vocational training for
the yocationally handicapped veter-
ans who are disabled as the result
of their war service; the considera-
ton of claims for compensation, in
surance and vocational training, and
insurance matters both under the
War Risk Insurance Act and the new
Adjusted Compensation Law.
When a few years ago the first
offices of what is now the Veterans
Bureau was transferred from Chey-
enne to Casper there We're but three
employees and but a very small Of
flee used. Today these facilities,
which have been increased to forty
nine employees and larger offices are
at times strained to give the speedy
consideration to which every veteran
is entitled who has any sort of a
claim nnIa, tho law
The liberalizing laws enacted by
Congress and for which the veteran
is indebted to the ex-service mems
organizations, particularly the Amer
lean Legion, have increased material
ly the scope of the work to be done
by the bureau.
1t is estimated that the Veterans
Bureau has in round figures about
1000. 600 customers on its books of
which number 1850 are residents of
Wyoming. The bureau all owe the
United States disburses currently
over 81 900 900 a day, of which $50
900 is spent in Wyoming each month.
In addition to the above, the local
office has the care of 34S other vet
Grams who are either American veter-
ans of other wars or veterans Of our
allied forces during the World War.
On the insurance side. and it must
be remembered hat the Veterans
Bureau is conducting II of the larg-
est insurance businesses in the world,
Wyoming has approximately $500
policies in force, of which SIS are
handled directly through the Casper
office.
Wyoming has one of the Veterans
Bureau hospitals at Sheridan, where
those veterans who are in need of
treatment for nervous diseases are
being treated. This hospital, al
though it has over 800 beds avail
able. has proven inadequate in size
and 500 beds are being added to
cope. II possible. with the additional
call of the applicants for treatment

transportation as well as an attend

LAWLESSNESS A
NATIONAL PROBLEM

A. c. Bedford, of the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey, blames lawlessness
not upon the police or the courts, but
rather upon the mass consciousness.
He says:
Last year, a total of around $2,-
10000 was taken in hold-ups, burg
laries and confidence games. and an
other round total of 500, 900, 900
was stolen through f%orgeries. When
you add the collateral cost of crime,
its detection and punishment, we are
struck with the appalling fact that
the total bill last ear eQualed our
national budget-$3,5O0, 0O0, 900. /
am convinced that good citizenship
cannot be forced upon people by more
laws or more police. 1t must be the
result of education and moral train
ing that makes crime repugnant. The
church can certainly take the lead
in this kind of education"
Good morals is good government
and good citizenship. 1t is money
in the bank and food on the table and
ones own roof over ones head.
There is no better business than to
make men better.

~STUDEBAKER LINES

When we hear one fellow asking another how he
can get ahead we are curious to know what he would
do with two when he can't use the one he has. One
head is all any man needs if it contains the right ma
terial. People who buy Studebakers are satisfied
because the cars are built right from the best ma
terials. Studebaker owner drivers look no further
because Studebaker gives in riding comfort and per-
formance all there is to be had.
Promotion stocks are alright when they pay ten
to twenty per ent-whe they do! A savings bank
account will beat them all "holler." Four per cent
in interest and six per cent in contentment and sound
sleep of safety will compound and reach home base
with the larger amount, measured by life's balances.
The way may be long and the road rugged. Stude-
bakers propelled by medium speed motors do the
lap call in the days work" High speed motors
make detours running on a straight line.
Many a man is playing golf because he needs ex-
ercise who never needed it before. Exercise is
necessary to health. Health is necessary to the
duties of a president the same as other people.
President Coolidge must get his exercise also by
playing golf. He certainly doesn't get it by jump
ing at conclusions. 1t is likewise poor pastime and
Improbable to jump at conclusions in buying an
automobile. Proven facts of performance are re-
sponsible for the increasing popularity and number

can do better than we. Telling you about q Stude-
baker automobiles; what it is, how it is built and
what it will do is one of them. The Studebaker
Corporation can do this better and in fewer words
than anyone else. They do this through the medium
of national advertising and printed matter sent to
us for distribution and - our statesmen. All we can
hope to do in these columns is make a little noise
to remind you we are selling Studebakers in Rawlins
and vicinity.
