BALTIMORE, July 3.-Terminal

Where formerly farmers were forced

Nagel said, they now can store their

RICHER LIFE SOUGHT
BY FARMING PEOPLE
Comfortable Home, Leisure for
Worth While Pleasures, Would
Come With Electric Service.

That it is the enrichment of life,
in all that this term represents, which
the average farmer hopes electricity
will ultimately bring him is the re-
Elective opinion of H. w. Riley, pro-
lessor Of rural engineering of the New
York State College of Agriculture.
Professor Riley, who has lived with
farmers and studied their problems
for years, appreciates that the imme-
date ambition of the farmer, in re-
spect to electricity, is to obtain a
larger cash return from his farming;
but he maintains that the farmer
looks beyond this, and has in his mind,
as the final goal, a greater share of
the stimulating social and mental pos
sibilities of life, which he hopes will
come with an increased cash return.
Showing h a SO far as getting
through season after season of farm
work and actually producing market
able crops is concerned, the farmer
could doubtless get along" If he
secured electric power, Prof.
Riley asks why, then, is there such
an insistent demand for rural electric
lines and what is the real service that
electricity from such lines is to
render?
1.-THE answer to these questions"
he asserts, can be found readily
enough when it is realized hat the
farmers central objective in life is
the maintenance of an Independent
and comfortable home, where he and
his wife may live, where his children
may grow up strong in body and re-
sourceful in mind, and where he may
live in peace to the end of his days.
Money must come in reasonable
amounts sometimes, to be sure, or,
like any other man, ne will not count
his work successful, but money is Of
value to him mainly Is it enables
him to improve his farm and nome
and to enjoy some of the pleasures
and amenities of modern life. The
ready sale of automobiles and small
electric light plants to farmers, the
extension of country telephone lines.
the demand for rural free delivery Of
mail are instances hat prove this
point. Now interest is starting to
concentrate on the extension of cleo
trio power lines into the country for
the very evident reason that the
whole farming population lave e
what electricity has Ion in the cities
and they want the same benefits for
themselves
1.-THE farmers want electricity main
ly because they know that it will
make their lives better worth the liv-
ing. They do not want it to cost too
much because cash money is carce
with them, but they want 1t mainly
for what it will do for them and not
primarily because Of a possible low
cost for the SERVICE"

In Wyoming, far Wyoming.

In Wyoming, far Wyoming,
In the lofty Shoshone mountains.
In the rugged Shoshone mountains,
Rise the waters of a river
That is unsurpassed for beauty:
And a thousand miles it courses
Through a scenic panorama
That's the wonderland of nature,
Till the roaring turbid waters
OF it's cataracts and cascades
Find at last a restful solace
In the arms of the Missouri.

THE YELLOWSTONE RIVER

In Wyoming. far Wyoming.
In the lofty Shoshone mountains,
In the rugged Shoshone mountains,
Rise the waters of the river
That is unsurpassed for beauty;
And the orb of day at dawning,
In the lovely light of dawning,
Casts upon it's dimpled surface
Its W myriad of diamonds,
Which emit such sheeny splendor
In the golden light of morning.
That the y of mar is dazzled
By their e~vanescent beauty.
In Wyoming, far Wyoming,
In the stiffness of the forest,
In the quiet of the forest,
Can be heard the limpid
OF this laughing. leaping river,
AS it ripples thru the woodland,
Thru the cool and shady woodland,
Ere it enters into valleys,
Into green and verdant valleys,
That were one a ground of hunting
For the cruel and painted savage.
In Wyoming, far Wyoming,
Winds the ever foaming currents.
Winds the silver crested current
OF this long and lucid river
Till the volume of it's water
Plunges Ger a ledge and dashes
Into boulder-strewed abysses,
Where a shower of spray ascending
Like a cloud of smoke, envelopes
Giant pinnacles uprising
From the verge o fsteep precipices.

The Tribune Publishing company
has offered its annual prize of 800
which will be divided among the
four top spoilers, $50 to the grand
champion, $25 to the one winning
second honors, SIS to the third and
$40 to the fourth. The state teach
ers' association presents the three
top winners with medals, a gold one
to the champion, silver to the next
and bronze to the third . These are
already on hand and pending the
contest are in the care of Mrs.
Morton.
The state spelling test by Horn
Ashbaugh will be used as the stan
dard for spelling. Mrs. Morton
will prepare a list of words and
will turn it over to the judges at
the time of the contest. They will
select words from the list. Trick
words and unusual words will not
be used, the selection being from
words in general usage and in the
vocabulary of a child of elementary
school age. The judges have not
been selected, but will be chosen
from among the persons attending
the fair.
Park county will be represented
by Miss Marian Van Wagner of
Garland, who won the county cham

WYOMING STATE FAIR
TO BE RECORD BREAKER

The 22nd annual Wyoming state
fair promises to break some records
this year. In the number and char
acter of the exhibits the indica-
tions are that all previous fairs
will be surpassed and the enter
tainment program will be n that
the patrons of the fair will thor
oughly enjoy.
There is reason to believe that
the attendance will be large. The
railroads have made a most at
tractive rate this year., one that is
cheaper than driving the a to
Douglas. Tickets will be on sale
every day of the fair at IL cents
a mile for the round trip. A one
day limit is placed on these tickets
from points where the fare is less
than three dollars, a two-day limit
where the fair is ove that amount.
For those who desire a longer stay
at the fair, the round trip rate OF
a fare and a third is available.
Everything considered this has
been a good year for Wyoming and
this fact will be reflected in both
the exhibits and in the attendance.
Agricultural hall will be filled this
year with a display of farm pro-
ducts that will be a matter of pride
to every resident of the state.
County agents will vie with each
other in preparing the most at
tractive display of the products of
their counties and with the album
lz- ouoo1 th;z uaor fhnra will he
plenty of opportunity for those in
charge to make a remarkable show
ng. A new exhibitor this year will
be Teton county, and the public
spirit shown by the citizens of that
county in sending a county exhibit
the long distance from Teton to
Douglas is worthy of special men
ton.
The forecast for the livestock ex-
hibits is very encouraging. In the
cattle department there will be
some splendid specimens of the
various breeds. A notable exhibit
will be the one from the Wolhurst
farm of Littleton, Colorado, which
will show its milking Shorthorns
and observation-disclosures These herds
have long been noted as being
among the finest in the country.
There will be the usual good dis
play of sheep and the swine de-
partment will be of more import
ance. Both the Duroc and the Po-
land China futurities have been
filled and the interest by the mem
bers of the boys sheep and pig
clubs will add Importance to these
departments.
The outlook is for an interesting
showing in the Industrial building.
which will be more attractive than
it was a year ago.. The finishing
touches are being put to the Arts
and Crafts building and the women
will find this building a thing of
beauty.
The Fourth United States Cav
airy will be at the fair again this
e The soldiers with their musi-
cal drill, Roman and rescue races
will add greatly to the amusement
program.
Lem Carmen will again have
charge of the rodeo and there is
no better rodeo manager in the
country than he is. He has the
buckers and knows how to run a
program and IS the liberal purses
will insure the best riders attend
ing, there is no doubt of the sue
cess of this part of the program.
For the evening entertainment
the fireworks spectacle, "1776," has
been provided. This spectacle will
be put on by the Thearle-Duffield
of Chicago.
