POLITICS WARMING

That the political pot in Wyoming will sooon be boiIno
Is evidenced by the numerous political meetings which are
being held all over the state, and the campaign this wear
promises to be one of the hottest which has been held in
many years Keen competition will force both major parties

administration should profit thereby.
Since the primary law was placed on the statutes. if has

hold n unofficial convention, at which time. the men of the
party best fitted for the important state offices nav be drafted
as candidates.
Ihere has never been a time in the history of Wyoming
when the need of a strong executive as governor was so
padiy needed, and the voters mays rest assured that the
republican party, at least, will present a formidable candidate
Tor these honors. For four years the state has had a Demo-
cratic governor. For the past two years, although we have

The entire list of offices from that of governor down to

DON'T THROW THE GAME.v

The nation was shocked a few years ago by revelation of
attempted corruption in what has been one of its most highly
respected baseball teams. That some of the most famous plav-

was a startling revelation not alone of mans inherent weak
ness, but OF the tremendous temptations that he is called upon
to withstand.

The Prohibition Law

"The effect prohibition has had
on u young people is one of the
big arguments against it. In our
own locality drinking among the
young people has became a matter
of everyday occurrence. AS a think

the facts of prohibition squarely

have to face these issues sooner or
later, and the sooner we do it, the
better it will be for our country"

Things You Should Know
IMPORTANT MINERALS.

The blood is enriched by certain
minerals in our food, beyond
question. mention Lime, (Calci-
um) Potassium, Iron and Iodine as
among those of first Importance.
These minerals abound in earth,
and are taken up by plants which
grow everywhere in the soil. Food
animals get the minerals by eating
the plants, and store them in the
red muscles, such as our beef
steaks, hams and mutton-chops.
Our animal and plant foods are
richer in mineral content when
they are grown on the lower levels
of soil. The hills lose continually
their minerals by rainfall and
drainage, so that hill-grown ami
mails and plants are poorer in
mineral values.
The chief value Of the minerals
is in the growth Of bone In chill
dren, particularly ths teeth. The
milk Of cow grazing in the hills
is much poorer food for the child
than from cow that fattens on
valley food. Corn, wheat, garden

less observer even, may have
noticed that cattle In mountain
sections of the country carry less
tat than animals Of the lower
plains. Vegetation is more dwarfed
on the sunburned, arid hfll-sites-
The reason Is, that the minerals
have been washed away from the
elevations.
And, haven't you noticed that
the adult human being in higher
attitudes is, generally wiry, with
thinner muscles, as well as more
nervous" in temperament? Miner
ais are feeders for nerves as we'll
as for muscles. The logical con-
clusion therefore is, If you are too
fat, seek moderately high alti-
tudes; If too lean, try to secure
your cereals, vegetables and meats
from the rich, alluvial valleys Of
the lower levels.

BUM LOGIC! WHAT!

How's this for logic? We have just
been reading an item in an Iowa pa
per stating that petitions for paving
are being circulated in that town.
The editor remarks that there is little
use of the paving boosters circulating
such petitions as that town will be
twelve or fourteen miles off of the
proposed paving. On the same page
the editor tells of how he plowed
through sixty miles of mud to attend
the funeral of a relative. In other
words that editor drives farther than
twelve miles from home on about
three fourths of his drives. The argu-
ment he puts up against paving is
fallacious. We folks here in the
state of good roads know that our
all weather roads would be bless
ing to use even if we did have to drive
twelve miles to get on to one.-Cot-
tonwood County Citizen.
