TERRITORY OF WYOMING

TERRITORY OF WYOMING
On July IS, 1868, the Territory of
Wyoming was created by congress. It
became q state on July 10, 1888.
The ares now included in the state
of Wyoming was acquired by the
United States in the Louisiana Pur-
chase with the exception of a small
section in the southwest which was
obtained in the Mexican secession of
1848.
First white explorers in Wyoming
were Sieur de la Verendrye and his
sons, who passed through while seek
ing trading posts in l734-1741. White
hunters visited Yellowstone in 1904.
In 1907, fur trading posts were estab-
lished.
The first permanent settlement,
however, was built on Fort Laramie
in 1884.
Although thousands of settlers on
their way to California and the Pa
cific northwest passed through Wy
oming, few of them settled within the
state.> A chain of government posts
were built to protect travellers against
the Indians who declared war on
them in 1854.
Following a discovery of gold in
1867. South Pass City was founded.
Cheyenne was laid out by the Union
Pacific railroad in the same year. A
year later. congress established the
territory Of. Wyoming.

N AND CITY COST

TWO aspects Of what 1t costs to be sick in the country
and In a great city appeared in surveys published last
week. The city medical cost survey was Of New York
citys 100000 people. made by the research bureau OF
the local welfare council. The country survey was Of
$50 families 1890 individually living in every state OF
the Union and In every type of farming country. 1.-THE
Farmers Wife" monthly magazine published at st.
Paul. made this survey with the help Of the national COM
naittee on the cost Of medical care.
The 80 farm families surveyed last year paid out an
average OF $l0494 each for doctors, nurses, hospital care.

per family, the individual outlay was 922.62.

NEWSPAPERS ARE GROWING

Seven New York City newspaper publishers were inter-
viewed a few days ago on the subject OF the increase in
newspaper circulation. which has 80 multiplied In re-
cent years as to force itself upon the publics attention.
An unusual number Of important news events, inn
provements in the quality Of newspapers. a widespread
growth In popular education, an extension Of interests on
the part of newspaper readers. and a growing practice
Of reading from three to five newspapers a day, instead of
one or two, are some of the reasons ascribed for the gen.
eral increase in circulation.
The public is more interested in newspapers for two
reasons. Comparison OF the papers Of today with those
OF 20 years ago will suffice to show why those of today at
tract more readers. And it is evident that the masses
are more alert, more interested in public affairs and cur
rent events, and more consistent readers than ever in the
past. This growing intelligence of the public is reflected
in the tremendous sales of books on history. science,
philosophy and biography. Americans wish to be in
formed as well as amused.
Competition has forced publishers to produce better
newspapers. Each publisher has striven to give readers
greater value. Today newspapers are better printed and
easier to read. And circulation managers have procured
new outlets and devised ingenious methods of delivery to
make their papers accessible to greater numbers.
Another considerable factor in the increased circulation.
especially In cities having two or more newspapers. is the
fact that even among those who, in the past, have been
coptent with the frothier types Of papers, there is a de-
veleptng interest In the more serious, general news Of the
dass which prompts them, even while adhering to their
first newspaper love. to supplement their reading with
another paper devoting more space to solid reading and
informative news.

BOrLS AMI CARRvJNCLES

The microscopic staphylococci caus-
ing boils and carbuncleS are often
found on the surface of the skin, es-
pecially if it is not kept s%crupulously
clean. But they do not cause these
infections unless they are assisted
in penetrating through the skin. They
enter by slight scratches, cracks or
wounds of the skin, often too small to
be noted. o. by way of the hair folli-
Giles or oil glands.
The most frequent locations for boils
are the back of the neck, caused by
rubbing of the collar: the buttocks;
the external ear canal; and areas of
the body where masses of hair are
found. Even a tiny scratch, too small
to see, made with the fingernail, may
break down the skin enough that
these St~aphylococci can enter the It's
sue.
Not only must they gain entry,
but the body must be in a stage where
it lacks resistance to their growth or
contains morbid material upon which
they thrive. Once they enter the
warm flesh, millions may be produced
within a short time around a central
core of staphylococci and dead tissue.
Around the central nodule of infec-
ton is an ares of congestion from
blood serum and white coils. The
spot oon turns red and begins to
pain and swell and the boil makes its
appearance.
AS pus begins to form about the
core, the boil ripens and will usually
break by itself in the course of time,
but the process may be fastened by
the use of hot poultices. In some
cases, where the boil is located high
upon the neck or face, it is we'll to
lance it before the surrounding It's
sues become permeated with the
poison.
When the system is run down one
is especially susceptible to boils. This
occurs most frequently in diabetes,
IN aged people, and in those conva1-
escing from typhoid fever. If you are
troubled with a crop of boils, it
would be a good plan for you to have
an analysis made to see if you have
a tendency toward diabetes.
A carbuncle is much more severe in
symptoms, as it is really a sort of
colony Of boils about a common CEN
ter. It may have several openings.
The skin ove a carbuncle becomes
red. shiny, and sometimes almost of
a blush appearance. It takes a week
or longer before the pus breaks
through the skin. Sometimes the It's
sues between the different openings
will also slough off. Carbuncles are
sometimes dangerous to life, especially
in old persons.
BOils and carbuncles usually start
after ones system has become run
down from overwork, prolonged ex-
element or over-indulgence in food,
especially rich foods like chocolate,
peanuts, ice cream, cakes. cream, pan-
cakes, sausages and candy. One with
a tendency to boils should live on
acid fruits, vegetables and lean meats

THE SHIPPERS MEETING

The meeting here. Tuesday, of the Northwest Shippers
Regional Advisory board had several merits, one OF which
was the enlightenment Of the community on shipping
movements in relation to the agricultural industry OF the
Northwest and, particularly. Of North Dakota. 1t was OF
a tendency to incite and spread thinking along economic
lines and thus create the mind that looks for rational
solutions Of problems in agriculture rather than seek
:. legislative panaceas of a radical and uneconomic nature
which mislead and betray those for whose benefit they
are advocated.
Grain growers who followed the proceedings Of the
board meeting must see that there is more to their prob
lens to be worked out by cooperative processes than by
the fiat of laws. It will tend to develop patience with
the business world.
The revelations Of the session were strikingly valuable
at this time as bearing on the movement in the states Of
North Dakota and Montana to develop q farm storage
system Of handling grain as a means to ~stabilizing prices
and better ones, at that, than helter -skelter marketing
At harvest time heretofore has been able to assure the
farmers. The session was a big contribution to the facts
that pertain to grain storage and marketing. 1t en-
phasized the fact that natural laws will prevail in spite of
cleveriy contrived systems to override them. and that
these natural laws can be Of benefit and advantage as
we'll as of loss and disadvantage.
All this was brought out In consideration Of the price
factor arising in the present grain situation by the par
tial failure Of the grain crops Of the Northwest and Can
ada and which shippers, railroad and terminal authori-
ties now are striving to fathom as an influence on ter
minal storage. Farmers are more so interested in the sit
uation as it viii affect the prices which they may OBJ
tain on their diminished harvests. The result is that sell
ers. buyers and handlers are all interested in the same
set OF future facts and conditions. For this region. then
it was a helpful circumstance that this meeting was held
here, in the midst Of a great grain producing area
whc-e people are ripe to learn about the economic cur
rents affecting their products.
TIE shippers board heretofore has been averse to
coming SO far west to hold one of its four sessions. It
would be a good plan tn the future to continue the
precedent established Tuesday and make Bismarck one OF
the points at which to hold regular summer sessions, or
at least frequent sessions. Such sessions have been held
in other seasons in South Dakota and in Montana. It
should not be that the immense agricultural area in be-
tween Montana and Minnesota should be neglected as
heretofore up to Tuesday. With the erection of its
community building, Bismarck will be we'll equipped to
handle such meetings with facilities it did not have at
its command Tuesday. and the shippers board will find
this city a good place to come in the future-a better
place even than Tuesday.

A good many weighty articles have been written telling
how the automobile has brought the farmer into contact
with the city.
Good roads and fast machines have ended the ira
diticnal isolation of the country districts. The hick is
being done to death by Henry Ford and his co-workers.
But. on the other hand, the automobile has brought the
city dwellcr into contact with the open country. And
that. considering the cramping tumult of the average city,
is quite an achievement.
In rural regions, a few years ago, the city boy was
looked upon with a sort of contempt. He was astound-
ingly ignorant: he couldn't tell a horse from a sheep. and
he thought the docile COW In the farmyard was apt to
bite him.
Today the city-bred %youngster is different. He has
been places and seen things. His fathers auto has car
ried him into the country time and again; and if he
knows nothing about farm life, he at least can recognize
the livestock he sees in the meadows. and he knows a
field Of green corn from a white expanse of blossoming
buckwheat.
Now all of this is rather important. For if the auto
mobile gets the city youngster out into the open coun-
try, it also gets his father and mother out there; and this
is all to the good.
of place anyhow.
Winter submerges it in dirty snow. dangerous ice and
dismal slush. Then spring comes and tantalizes the city
folk with faint hints of an awakening life in which they
cannot share; and summer, loafing indolently over the
land, only makes the city a place OF steaming canyons
and hot pavements, where even the fantest breeze, laden
with fumes of gasoline and coal smoke. is a gift from
heaven.
So, on evenings, and on week lends, the roads from the
city to the country are filled with autos. bearing people
out of the city into the country.
What do they get out Of these brief pilgrimages? Moth
ing much-and everything. They get a glimpse at their
earth as it is meant to be, and not as man has defaced
it. They get a chance to see how a rolling green field,
a purple hill or a stretch of woodland can put to shame
the finest skyscraper. the most ~glittering Of city avenues.
II they can listen, they get a priceless encouragement for
their daily routine.
The earth is a living miracle, and those who inherit
it must. after all, be destined for some sort of ultimate
glory. And that is the sort of thing one forgets in the
city.

FAMILY LIFE
(By Alice JudSOn Peale)

When you and I were children we
went on family outings, wholesale Wis
its to relatives. and spent many eve
nings, father, mother. brothers and
sisters all together in the family liv-
ing room.
But today it is literally true that no
two members of the family spend
their leisure hours together. Father
goes golfing, mother plays bridge. big
sister has set of friends and little
sister has another. Big brother plays
baseball with the fellows from the
Junior High; little brother plays base
ball with his friends in the fifth
grade. There is no common center
of interest: there is scarcely even any
overlapping.
That is the way things are in most
homes. It is perhaps too bad. but we
can no more bring back the old style
of family life than we can bring back
the spinning wheel. Must we then
lose the special virtue of family life
it's solidarity of affection and SYM
pathy born of a common meeting
ground for the most diverse ages
and temperaments and interests?
Not at all. The value Of family life
is in its quality rather than in the
number and unanimity of its common
activities. We can let the family fes-
rivals go without a sigh if in our daily
life we keep the spirit of which. ideal
ly. at least, they were the expression.
No matter how crowded is the sep
arate schedule of each member of
the family. it is possible to preserve
this spirit of genuine sympathy. The
way you accept your child's informal
invitations to share his enthusiasts
the way you listen to his stories will
either draw him closer to you or shut
him away.
The attitudes of mutual respect for
diverse interests which we may incul-
cate in brothers and sisters will in
fluence the degree to which they can
learn to share either actually or i'm
agihatively their leisure time activi-
ties. Cultivate the spirit of family
life and it will find its own express
sion.
