p. O. Employees
Received Back Pay
Checks from Jan.

The back pay checks for the en-
ployees of the Rawlins post office
arrived here on March 18th and have
been distributed. These checks
amounted to an additional pay of
$4,000 a month to the regular en-
ployees from the first of January at
which time the new law became eff
fective.
The Increase under the new law
makes the monthly pay roll around
$1,000 a month, the pay roll before
the increase being SIPS. Thus the
local yearly pay roll under the new
law will be about $4,000.
The increase to the clerks and
carriers is $500 per year and to the
auxiliary help from so cents to IS
cents per hour. At the present time
there T II employees at the local
office and three auxiliary help de-
signated as clerk-carriers by the To-
cal office.
From the checks, there is deducted
two and 0ne-half per cent for the
government retirement fund. This
fund is for the purpose of creating
a fund for service men who have
been retired by old age or disability.

old regulation the pay of retired I'M
ployes was practically sixty per cent
regular pay. An effort is now being
made to have a new rating and make
the retired pay flat 800 per month.

DISCRIMINATION OF VALUES

T%ennyson could take a worthless
sheet of paper and write a poem on
it and make it worth $1,000
that's genius.
Vanderbilt could write a few words
on a sheet of paper and make it
worth $500, 000-that's capital.
The United States can take an
ounce and a quarter of gold and
stamp an eagle bird on it and make
it worth $20-that's money.
A mechanic can take metal worth
SIS and make it into watch springs
worth 500, OO0-that's skill.
A merchant can take an article
worth seventy five cents and sell it
for $1.5O-that's business
A lady can purchase a $3.50 hat,
but she prefers one worth $27-
that's foolishness.
The ditch digger works 10 hours a
day and hauls several tons of earth
for $3.00-that labor.
Bryan proposed to take a coin
worth SO cents and with it pay up
an indebtedness of $1.0O-that's
reputation.
The writer of this article could
make out a check for $4,000, but
it probably wouldn't be worth so
cents-that's rough.
A man gets up in the morning,
finds the bottle empty and drinks
water-that's hell. Eek.

WHAT MY NEIGHBORS SAY


When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills-and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering,
that persons advice is of untold val
ue to friends and neighbors. The
following case is only one of many
thousands but it is that of a Rawlins
resident. Who could ask for a better
example?
Harry Riley, railroad conductor,
e. Cedar St, says: THE continual
vibration on the railroad weakened
my kidneys. They acted too often
and the secretions were scanty.
There was a dull ache through my
back and when l stopped 1t became
a sharp, dartisg pain. Doan's Pills
from the Wyoming Drug Co., cured
me of the attack"

four years. He attributes this rapid
increase to the mildness of the past
two winters and to fewer hunting
parties during the ope season.
He also pointed out that under pre-
SEN conditions there is three times
the number of elk that there is hay
to feed and that the next hard winter
is very apt to see heavy losses in
the elk herd.

be placed much higher than is now
mechanically possible, but experience
will have to write the actual figure,
The height limit, they add, is around
$4,000 feet.
This contention regarding the
maximum speed for turning, the
flight surgeons pointed out, is pred
icated upon the experience of Lieu
tenant Alvin ]. Williams, of the navy
at the Pulitzer air races at st. Louis
in October, 1923, who said he be-
came practically unconscious at the
turns of the triangular course, when
he rounded at 243.67 miles an hour.
The flyer at the turn banks his
craft at right angles, the centrifugal
force acting at right angles to the
new direction of travel and the blood
being carried away from the head
toward the stomach, and probably
even into the legs. causes faintness
and possibly Inconsistencies. Blood
circulation quickly adjusts itself, the
fight surgeons say, and the direction
of centrifugal force is rapidly
changed, although at turns at very
high speeds in a%irplanes, brain in
jury or rupture OF a vital blood yes
sci might result.
Even when supplied with oxygen
the flight surgeons hold, an aviator
could not survive beyond a height
of $4,000 feet, under ordinary cir
~cumstances. because the available OK
ygen pressure in the lungs would be
too low to sustain life.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 feet is

geons. and at higher attitudes oxy-

The aviator experiences, among
other things, as the result Of high
altitude flights, sleepiness, uncon-
trolled emotion. including giggling,
singing or laughter; muscular weak

GRAINS Have
FRACTION LOSS
Wheat Stages Rally at Close
of Market.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 3.-Grains lost
fractionally in today's session on the
Board of Trade. Wheat was most
active. 1t started higher, slumped
at midday and in final trading staged
a good comeback to within a frac7
ton of the opening.
Wheat continued to maintain the
erratic undertone. Breaks ran into
supporting ordSs, bulges into prof
it's. There was a fair amount of
evening up. Crop news was de-
cidedly mixed. Shifting Of interests
in the suspended firm of Dean O'Ni-
tivia was an unsettling factor.
High temperatures in the South
west boosted corn early. Later this
grain slipped off when wheat turned
weak and May checked up losses for
the day.
oats ruled strong, but they too
lost in late trading with other grains.
Good buying of lard by local inter
ests and higher hogs bosted provis-
ions.
