of about Seventy-tive AdvertiS-

TO GET TOGETHER.

was depore1-ani RENE
DIES WERE DISCUSSED
FOR THE CURE or THESE
EVILS.
Just what will this mean to
The future of advertising?
What the Agencies want.

COUNTS AND COMMlS-
SlONS THAT ARE OPEN
TO ALL ALlkE-they want a
National Organization, so that
the methods of all Agencies
shall conform 10 one code
viz. :-BUSlNESS HONOR.
The old habits of undermin-
Ing one another-One agency
taking business away from an
other by cutting prices and
making impossible promises
will be buried forever if the
Agencies represented at the
Convention have their way.
There is no objection to
COMPETITION = kEEN
AND HONORABLE-in the
matter of planning campaigns
for advertisers or rendering
service or furnishing good
copy. AS a matter of fact,
such competition is the life of
the agency business. Then it
is a question of the SUR
WVAL OF THE FlTTEST.
A National Agency Organ
izatiOn, conducted on the plan
so enthusiastically discussed in
Boston, will do more To regu-

The Revolt Of the Toys

The Revolt of the Toys" given
by the little tots of the Primary
department in the Opera house
Saturday evening was a great sue
cess. There were a few recita-
tions when the little drama follow
ed. Miss Lesta Andrews, their
teacher, can well be proud of the
great hit the play made, for the
little folks did remarkably well,
averaging better for their age
than older children would have
done, because they suffered little
from embarrassment. There was
d good crowd present and the re-
ceipts were satisfactory.

Reception to Miss Sensintaffar

The reception given Miss Sem
sintaffar by Mrs. Ekdakl and Mrs.
Winsor at the very pleasant home
of the latter Tuesday afternoon,
was well attended. The day was
bitter cold, but that did not prev
ent a great many people from pay
ing their respects to Miss Sensin-
taffar, who has always been quite
popular with Saratoga people.
The entire afternoon, from 2:3O to
5 O'Clock witnessed a constant
stream of Saratoga danes, either
going to or coming from the Win
sor residence. Tea was served to
all guests and it was voted by all
one of the most agreeable funct-
ions that Saratoga has had for
some time Miss Sensintaffar wss
for many years a teacher and later
principal of the Saratoga school
and is held in very high estimation
by all.

Hon. j. F. Crawford,
Saratoga, Wyoming.
My dear Crawford,
Yours of the 18th on my desk
upon my return yesterday from
Chicago. Good shot was glad
to get 1t right at this time, as I
am today making up the data of
the Auto routes of the State for
the Clason Map people of Denver
from which they are to make a
1917 edition, and you can just bet
that l got the North Park, Hunt
err CASTLE Hunter, Saratoga route
into it. Your log is what
different than the one l made of
this route last summer. | went
the mail route down through
Woods Landing, near Jelm etc,
and in this route had no gates to
open and found i. a good road all
the way, until | got to the Hunter
ranch. The mileage of both
routes is nearly the same. l of
course butted against Big Greek
in high water and could 90 no
further, but siuce your bridge is
IN, it brings Saratoga within an
easy days run from Cheyenne,
and no doubt next summer will
see a good many Cheyenneites
your way on fishing trips by
auto.
Wishing you II Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year 1 am
Very truly yours
E. l.. Emery.

Severe Christmas Weather

The present Christmas weather
is the coolest ever known in this
locality the mercury reaching a
lower point by a few degrees and
remaining uniformity cold for sew
days proceeding, as we'll as for the
three days succeeding that holi-
day. On Monday morning the
mercury marked II degrees below
at Z o'clock in the morning, and it
dropped a degree within the next
hour, making the record IL de-
grees below here on that day. All
day long the mercury stood close
to the zero mark, being ofterner
below than above that point.
There is not to exceed three inch
es of snow on the ground at this
point, but on the out-laying creeks
the snow ranges from 6 inches to
a foot in depth, that being the
prevailing amount reported from
different sections of the valley.
Christmas, 1911, will go down in
record as being the coolest aver
known in this valley.

Waiting

Serene l fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind. nor tide, nor sea:
rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For lol my own shall come to me.
stay my haste, I make dslays,
For what avails this eager pacei
stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my iaos,
Asleep, awake. by night o. day.
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alonsi
wait with joy the coming years;
Ny heart shall reap where it hath
sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own, and
draw
The brook that springs in yopder
heights;
So flow the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delighs.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space. nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from mo.

What Is the Matter with
the Saratoga Valley7

lIulLOr Gun;
so you pause Ter on answer as
why this country does not adj
vance2 Why there are not ditch
es to cover the land which would
be rich agricultural land, if some
OF the water, which flows down
the river and out Of the state, was
spread over itP And why other
undeveloped are not de-
veloped.
Well this is the way it
comes to me-. A part OF the
people are satisfied with things
just as they are. They do not
wish for anything better. They
are making easy money in raising
stock, while if this was a farming
country or a ditch built, it would
become rich and the price of land
would go SO high that they could
not afford to raise wild hay and
pasture, so they would have to
either sell or go to farming.
Many people say the s. & E.
Ry, has killed the valley. That it
has brot down the price Oh hay
and oats which the freighters used
to feed their horses. Before the
railroad we had no outside market
for it cost to much to freight our
products to the railroad. But now
we can ship out any excess crops
we raise. 1t has alec brot the
price on goods which we're ship
ped into and consumed in the
valley, down below what we use
pay. Still why do some people
kickP
Yes, we want an irrigation can
al, to turn the large tracts of land
which is now not worth over 6f-
teen or twenty cents per acre for
grazing, into agricultural land
that will yearly be worth from
fifteen to twenty dollars per acre.
Yes W. want it and still we keep
knocking.
One ditch started and stopped,
or was stopped. Now why was il
stopped? Because some people
who could stop it was afraid it
might injure their business.
Yes, some Of the people of the
valley are to be held responsible
for the country's being held back.
There are some who would like
to see it advance some others,
don't care, SO the country is divid-
ed against it's self. Now, do you
recall that passage in the scrip
turep Mathew IL; 25. 1t says
ga community divided against
itself is sure of dissolution, and a
house divided against itself is
sure to fall"
So if we want this country to
progress, we must get together,
and give it a shove. When once
started it will go Of itself.
About three years ago some one
said, I'VE ought to have a county
fair organized, and have the
grounds at Saratoga" That in.
terested the people of the valley,
so they got together. What was
the resultsp Why, The Carbon
County Fair Association was or.
gained, and now We have a very
nice fair grounds, and we are
proud of it. We say, "why the
people of the valley can do things
up right when the want to-" Sc
we can, and why don't we dc
more to bring the country up IL
to liner We would like the
country better, feel more at home
if we had a neighbor within two
or three miles of us, wouldn't we
Then an irrigation canal woult
double the value of our land, maxi
it twice as valuable, without GU.
taking any risk, or doing an.
work. Just boost a little, an,
you will be well paid for it.
