APPOINTMENT OF ROACH
CONFIRMED BY SECRETARY

The appointment of ]. o. Roach
for the m~anagership of the newly
organized Shoshone Irrigation dis
trict has been confirmed by the
Secretary of the Interior after con-
siderable delay, and during which
time the administration of the new
district has been pretty much up
set. Roach was the choice of the
new board of managers, but mas
much as the contract with the
government gave the Interior De-
partment the last word on the APP
pointment, it was doubtful for a
time as to whether he would be
agreeable to the governmental de-
partment at Washington.

LOVERCHECK LOSES TILT
In DISTRICT COURT
Suit for Total OF $4,000 Ends
With Lose of First Suit-Other
Two Actions Dismissed

With an adverse verdict in the
District Court last week, Bronze &
Bronze, attorneys For Frank Lover
check of Garland, withdrew their
other two actions and all actions
against Thos. NJ. Glass n wife
have been dismissed. Lovercheck
was suing on three counts of S12.-
800. The. action tried was for
$1,000 for property which he claim
ed Mr.. Glass, his father-in-law took
from him at the time of a separa-
ton with his wife. The second
action was for $1,000, wages he
declared due him while living with
his wife. 800 per month for Is
months. The third action was for
$4,000, the amount sought by him
for alienation of his wife's affec-
tions. Attorneys Goppert and Greever
'~terests in the actions.
The court actions are the e
suit of a family breakup. After
16 months of welded lire Mrs
Lovercheck returned to her parents
who reside near Garland. In the
distribution of property she retained
property amounting to $1,000 which
was given her and her husband by
the father-in-law, Mr.. Glass at the
time of their marriage. 1t was
for this property that L~overcheck
started suit, and also for $1,000,
wages at 500 a manth, which he
charged had been promised him by
the elder Glass.
Carl Brandt Lovercheck, the child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lovercheck played
a very important roll in the trial
of the action, nj by his bright and
CHEEKY smile and happy demeanor
won the heart of the court and
jurymen during the trial of the
case. He romped upon the floor
of the court room not in the least
worried about any turn taken by
the case. in which his parents were
SO vitality interested.

LEGISLATURE KILLS
GAME COMMISSION

The Enterprise is in re-
ceipt of a wire today stat
ing that a majority of the
House and Senate commit
tees voted yesterday to
abolish the Wyoming game
commission and to put the
power back into the hands
of the state officials as il
was in former years. 1t
is expected that a new
game bill will be drafted
and introduced this week.
The adjustment of the
game commission has
much significance at this
time for it evidences a de-
sire of the members of the
legislature to bring the
control of this important
branch of the state gov.
eminent back into the
hands of those duly elected
to administrate it. Under
the game commission sys-
tenn, six men from over
the state were appointed
to administrate the fish
and game department, and
the authority designated
to them under the COM
mission bill gave them
even greater power than
that of the governor.
1t is evident the legisIa-
ture does not care for the
bureaucratic ideas in state
government.

TURKEY SHIPMENTS
NET GROWERS $17,lO3.27
February Shipments Bring Nearly
Four Thousand-Price Paid
Average About 81 Cents

With the last shipment of turkeys
Egoing out from tbs Cody loading
depot last week, the growers of
this section have received s17,-
|103.27 for this years crop. A to-
tai of 1876 birds were marketed
this year in the three shipments
made at Thanksgiving. Christmas
and at this time. They weighed
4S,427 pounds and when dressed
and packed occupied 1872 barrels of
the finest birds ever placed on the
market. Most OF. the Wyoming
turkeys go to the Atlantic seaboard
where they bring fancy prices.
The Christmas shipment was the
largest TO be shipped. At that
time an entire car was loaded at
Cody and ten more cars were mar
keted in the Basin at that time.
These turkeys are sold through the
efforts of the Big Horn Cooperative
Marketing association and bring the
highest prices paid anywhere in the
west. The Christmas shipment
from Cody consisted of 2.259 birds.
weighing 25.42s pounds, and Melted
the grower $10,5S3.29. This ship
ment was shipped in ia barrels.
The first shipment was the small
est of the season, and only those
birds which were early developed
and fattened were placed on the
market. $50 turkeys were market
ed by the Cody growers at Thanks
giving time and brought $2.570.67.
This shipment included $50 birds
weighing 1880 pounds. occupying
33 barrels In shipment.
The shipment sent out this week
consisted of t5 barrels or 94S dres-
sed birds weighing 10.4S1 pounds.
The return on the shipment was
$3.949.31. In this shipment there
We're S21 fancy young toms. weigh
ing 4.314. They averaged 1919
pounds to the bird and netted the
grower s~1,S12.SS. There were 406
fancy young hens which weighed
3,621 pounds, and averaged .
pounds. They netted $1,332.19.
There were lit No. 2 toms. weigh
ing 1901. averaging IL rs pounds
and bringing $64S.71. 80 No. Q
hens weighed 1913 pounds. averaged
6 pounds to the bird n brought
$3.50. IL old toms weighed 262
pounds, averaged 21-5-6 pounds and
brought the grower S96.7O.
1t will be readily seen by the
above figures that the big money
is in growing the fancy turkeys.
No. / toms and hens bring the big
prices and cost no more to grow
that the inferior fowl. 1t just takes
a better understanding of the bust
ness, and the growers in Park
county are advancing very rapidly
in this work las is shown by a
comparison of the shipment made
in former years.
The marketing of turkeys is one
Of the major projects OF the Big
Horn Marketing association and the
quality OF the Wyoming birds Is
such that there is a keen demand
In the fall OF the wear for Wyoming
raised turkeys. The birds are sold
by the Marketing association and a
small per cent deducted from the
sales price to cover the cost of the
association. Later on when the
Iinal check-up can be made, the
balance .on hand is mailed as divl-
dend checks to the members of the
association. over $500 in dividend
checks were mailed out last week
to turkey growers. which is not
Figured in the price above.

Peace for Nicaragua.

Patience, combined with firmness,
seems at last to have the vexed prob.
lem of Nicaragua at the verge of So
luton. Henry L. Stimson, President
Coolidge's special representative to
the Central American republic, ap-
parently has brought the Diaz Con
servatives and the Sacasa Liberals
into agreement on the main points Of
program which looks to a cessation
'of hostilities and a new presidential
election early next year, to be held
under American auspices. 1t is pro
vided that both the Conservatives and
Liberals shall surrender their arms
to the United States forces, and un.
less the agreement is complied with
within a limited time those still re-
tanning their arms are to be forcibly
disarmed.
1t is contended by the Liberals that
they yielded only to the threat OF
armed force by the United States, but
the State Department has no infOrma

The Last Call.

The campaign to build a memorial
commemorating the services of the
men and women who fought and who
died in the World War comes to an
end tomorrow. SO far, the campaign
cannot be called a success. A sub
stantial sum remains to be secured,
and time is short. But the work of
those actively engaged in the cam
paign has not slackened. Each diff
Guilty encountered, each new obstacle,
each disappointment, have all com.
bined to spur them on. And now they
are making their final effort. Every
Washingtonian should join them. The
stake in balance is large.
Tomorrow the success or failure Of
the campaign will be known. If the
campaign succeeds, those who have
labored untiringly and who have given
unsparingly will receive their reward
in the knowledge that the men and
women from our own city who so
nobly served their Nation are to be
remembered and that their ideals of
service to country will live after them.
If the campaign fails, there can be
but one true explanation, although
many excuses based on fictitious as
sumptions doubtless might be ad-
vanced. This explanation win lie in
the fact that eight and half years
of prosperity, of peace, of rapid
growth and expansion have so dulled
the finer feelings of Washington that
an appeal based purely on sentiment
is wasted on barren soil. 1t will mean
that our gratitude, once voiced for the
men and women who answered the
call to the colors, is empty gratitude,
shell that holds no meat. Tt will
mean that while men and women
gave their lives, we, the living for
whom they died, have turned away
our heads, passed by on the other side
and selfshly followed the paths they
blazed.
This cannot be true Of Washington.
This must never be said of Washing.
ton. It is not too late to join that
final effort that must bring success to
a great undertaking.

The Community Institute.

ance of the maintenance of n "lycenm'
course of lectures and musical events
for the benefit OF the people of the
Capital during the coming season.
This is logical development Of the

for several years been conducting an

ing programs of this character, with
the cooperation of the society, and
thus assures the District people of
educational and entertainment events
at low cost to the individual subscrib-
ers to the course.
Under the control of an advisory
board of well known citizens, this
work should make definitely for the
public benefit, 1t Is in every respect
a community service. The sponsors
and guarantors feel that the move
ment is of Importance in bringing
about the advancement of Washing

center. While the program for the
coming season Is at present merely
outlined. it is assured that it viii
comprise lectures of the first order of
Importance and interest, and plans in
contemplation promise broad devel-
opment, in proportion as the public
responds to the invitation to partici-
pate by subscription to the courses,
at remarkably low rate, which mere
ly covers the actual expenses.
1t is important that advantage be
taken of this opportunity, and to that
end it is to be hoped that the public
subscriptions for next seasons course
will be filed early. To the extent to
which this is done the specific plans
for the year can be made. Engage
ments of lecturers and musical organ
izations must be made we'll in ad-
vance, for the demands upon their
time are numerous and urgent.
The offer of ten events of excep.
tional merit for the price of three dol
lars for each subscriber is one to be
grasped by all who desire that the
best expressions of thought and the
best artistic talent should be brought
to Washington to contribute to the
educational development and the en-
tertainment of the community.

EVERYDAY RELIGION

strengthening and enrichment of char

Mothers Sunday compels us to think
more definitely of those fundamental
things that constitute the strength
and sanctity of home life. 1t Is demon
atrable that the homes of nation
have the power Of making or unmak-

or debaae them. They either con-
tribute to the wholesomeness of our
social life or they Eraveiy impair it.
Indeed the home standards affect for

We are living In an age in which the
duties and privileges of women have
been infinitely broadened. They are
equal aharers with the men of the Ma
tinn In It's large concerns and oppor'
tunitIes. They have to do with the
making OF policies and the shaping of
national ideals. All this should make
for greater refinement and whole
someness in all that concerns our

c,lpationa, no indulgence in those
things that concern the state and
tho Nation, may be substituted for
those holer responsibilities that have
to do with home and family life. The
greatest trust that God has committed
to Ills children is that which is given
to the mother of the household. She.
more than all others, determines the
moral worth and strength of our do
mestic and social life. To her hands Is
given the Incompatible privilege of
shaping the characters of her chill
dren. The moral and spiritual ideals
Of the Nation. as "a whole, are largely
determined by it's mothers.
Little as we know of that simple
home In which the child Jesus was
reared, sufficient is told us to indicate
His mothers influence as well trs her
understanding sympathy. She. above
all others, discerned the high and holy
purpose of His ministry. With
prophetic instinct she saw from His
earliest days what no other eye could
discern.
Poets and painters have exhausted
their genius in portraying this sacred
relationship. The modern mother may
find in this lowly home at Nazareth
an ideal Of transcendent loveliness.
We may change our customs and our
ways of living, but we dare not lower
those high and holy standards that
give to the mother the sovereign place
to which by divine sanction she was
appointed. She must continue to be

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

Now that the two defendants in
very notorious murder trial In the
Queens County section of New YORK
CITY have told the world" their sor-
did stories of the Staying of the hus-
band of the woman in the case, and
have accused each other OF instigatinS
the crime, lawyers connected with the
case have recalled the interesting fact
that long ago in England there was
q rule which prevented a defendant
from testifying in his own behalf. or
against a codefendant.
In the Jurisprudence of this country
there is a rule that the defendant
never shall he required to testify in
his own behalf, and in most of the
States there is the further rule that
the fact that an accused man or wom-
an fails to take the stand shall not be
called to the attention of the jury.
Seeking to improve criminal meth
DDS and to speed up the tardy wheels
Of justice, several States are thinking
of changing the American rule so
that juries may be permitted TO con-
slider the failure Of defendant to
take the stand.
1t is everywhere admitted that the
fundamental purpose of a criminal
trial should he to arrive at the truth.
HO HldtLEF now WluE III Ifldt mar Is
some modern trials have taken us.
II a defendant refuses to take the
stand and tell his own story, many
lawyers hold that that is a fact in the
case. Its weight may vary with cir
cumstances, but, whatever it's weight,
it is a fact in the case. The law pro-
vides now that the jury must not
consider that fact. 1t may well be
doubted If it is humanity possible for
81 jury to fail to consider it. There is
a growing sentiment however. that
the jury should be entitled to consider
it, for in many cases it would aid
materially in arriving at the facts.
In the Snyder trial. curiousIy
enough. the lawyers for both de.
PENDANTS quizzed the prospective
jurors long and searchingly as to
whether or not they would hold il
against defendant if he or she failed
to take the stand. Then both sides
promptly put their clients on the
stand at the first opportunity.
The rule which prohibits the jury
from considering the fact that a de
fendant fails to testify is believed to
be the outgrowth of the old English
rule forbidding the defendant from
testifying. If the accused man OF
woman could not testify, it was of
course fair and just that failure to
testify should not be considered a fact
in the case. The rule forbidding de.
PENDANTS to testify, however, has long
since been discarded in England

approval and with the country's
| economic condition growing rapidly
worse, but the threat to use armed
force probably did not extend beyond
a restatement of the firm detcrmina-
tion of this Government that the lives
and property of Americans and other
foreigners should not be sacrificed.
Neither Nicaraguan faction made
any attempt to conceal it's knowledge
of the fact that peace Is necessary If
the country is to be saved from utter
ruin, and both factions express COM
plete approval of the proposal that
the United States shall supervise the
coming election and guarantee its
fairness. 1t is admitted by both that
the basic cause of this and past revo-
lutions has been the fact that cleo
tions have not been fair, that what
ever government was in power has
sought to perpetuate itself by coercion
and intimidation, leaving revolution
as the only recourse of the opposition.
The agreement provides that pending
a new election DiaZ shall continue in
office, with Liberal representation in
his cabinet, and that order shall be
maintained by a native constabulary
with American officers, thus making
possible recall of most of the United
States forces. Continuance of Diaz in
office was a bitter pill for the Liberals
TO swallow, but they recognized that
some sort of government was neces-
sary and that chaotic conditions made
it impossible to hold a fair election
at this time.
The Nicaraguan situation has not
been a pleasant one to handle, and
the American State Department has
been considerably handicapped by
rear seat" diplomats, who, with that
Astounding assurance that goes with
superabundant lack of knowledge.
have kept up a constant barage OF
criticism from the rear. But fortified
by its consciousness of good will
and fair intent, this Government has
pursued a policy which now seems
about to be crowned with success.
