most of the way. We see a hay chopper in one big field, hay of different height in another and a recently harvested field flooded .with water. These farmers are using the ws--of the Platte for irrigation, either by force or gravity. It seems odd for us to ditch water off and they dig ditches to put it on. These large ditches flow past a farmer’s land and a flood gate measures the amount of' water he gets. Many'times this is set by a commissioner and locked and he pays this cost along with land taxes. The older the water rights, the better you fare in case of a water shortage. In places where it comes not too far from the mountains, the folks like hot weather as this gives them more water fi’om the melting snow. PIPES ON WHEELS Some of these irrigation projects run for more than a hundred miles. In Oregon, I saw troughs, eight and ten feet in diameter hung on the sides of cliffs for miles to preserve the water level. Several farmers had their fourinch pipes supported by wheels and the pipes were moved by pushing the wheels down the field. One man near Salt Lake City, who processed hundreds of deer in season for hunters, said, “Give us water and we’ll feed the world.” We stopped at North Platte for the night. Trains going east from here have Central Standard Time and those going west Mountain 'Time. Yes, the sun set later. This is the boyhood home of William F. Cody, known as Buffalo Bill. This city, along with Cody, Wyo., is full of the lore of this popular Western hero. As you know, he furnished the buffalo meat for the men who built the U.P. railroad. He’s supposed to

have killed a herd of buffalo at a half-mile distance before they knew what it \yas all about. The buffalo herds dwindled like snow in the hot sun and Buffalo Bill is a memory to all of us. RECKLESS DRIVER The next morning a car passed us bn a yellow line and didn’t get back on his side until he reached the crest of the hill. If he keeps that up, someone will offer this sympathy at his casket, “I guess it was the Lord’s will.” But how about the innocent victims. As we neared Cheyenne, we heard a few honks on the horn from a ear and saw an RR license plate. This hello gesture when away from home gets scarcer in this country as Indiana plates are rare. With Cheyenne to our back we started kitty-cornered across the state of Wyoming heading for Yellowstone. These are really the “wide open spaces”. Sage brush, rocks, dry land, with now and then a sign, “stock at large”, “open range” or “deer crossing". As we peer to our right we see a dozen deer peacefully eating in a gully. I can see where the tumbling tumbleweed came from too. At Casper, a clerk told us that just a few miles back, was where Charles Starkweather hailed some innocent motorists for help and shot them down in cold blood. We are now entering a country of oil wells. My gas gauge shows I need to refill, so I stop at a station just across the street from the refinery and pay 40 cents a gallon. For the next 2000 miles, gasoline will cost from 36 to 41 cents. We j also need our dark glasses, for this! Western sun is dazzling to the eyes. The lingo describing the topography of the land is beginning to confound me. When I ask the difference between a coulee, a canyon, a draw and a slough, the definition seems to be different each time. One man at a filling station,' warned me about careful driving. He said the police loved to “milk the out-of-staters.” I recollect that i I heard something ljke this before. Seems like I have often seen a red flasher near out-of-state cars on trips we’ve made. DOESN’T WANT BEAR We entered Cody on a Monday j evening and went to a travelers in- I formation office to have a cabin j at Yellowstone reserved for Tuesday night as Mrs. Haney has no love for the idea of a bear poking his nose in an unprotected shelter.

school uses tests on “Primary’ Mental Ability” and Kufer's “Preference Interest”. “We do not use these tests as final nor .for controlling conclusions to guide the student,” Weddle added, “For college, two years of math, two years of foreign language and science courses are indicated,” he stated, adding that college requirements range from the strict classic demands of the old Eastern colleges to those colleges who appear to Weddle to have no specific requirements except what is termed “Educational Experience.” “Parental pressure,” he declared “Such as going to the alma mater of grandfather and father or following the professional and vocational preferences of parents, complicate the problems of the student facing a choice between college, professional schools and the increasing multiplicity of technical schools.” McGrew stated that “Our guidance is not to determine for the student by the tests but to help him determine for himself. Tests go on in Nappanee schools from second grade to the end of high school. Our tests are designed to show a student where he places in .the national averages and bring out those areas where he lags and needs extra effort.” “The top one percent of students get the best scholarships in the nation, he said and quoted figures showing that Nappanee has 5.54 percent of students equal to the top one percent of the nation. Arden Stutzman was again made a member of the club. Dan Metzler reminded the club to attend church Sunday. “Vacations are over,” he declared. He also reminded members to send ■'ards to Dr. J. S. Slabaugh in Robert W. Long hospital, Indianapolis, and Ralph Metzler, at home, being built-up for hospital treatment. Members will attend the barbecue at Pioneer Trails scout camp, near Cromwell, led by W. R. Kendall, inter-club chairman.

The pesky Eagles tallied again near the end of the third period on Bruckners 23 yard scamper over his own left tackle. The try for extra point was no good and Bulldogs had a slim 2013 lead going into the final period. Nap was able to punch across two more six points and pulled away from the tiring Eagles.
