 TRUTH-IN-FABRIC BILL

The legislature of the state of Wyoming has recently passed a truth in fabrics bin. similar in intent to the French capper bill which has been before congress for more than d year. The Wyoming bill is a mighty en- coursging step in the right direction. Wool growers are at the present time penalized fin every way imaginable. In the first place. most everything they have to buy has a protective tariff on 1t. while wool can be brought in free from anywhere. Then. in the .demoralixation of the past year. one and one-haif years supply has accu- mulatcd- Meanwhile the trade fin shoddy or reworked rags has been so immense as to greatly interfere with the use of virgin wool Thousands of heads Of range sheep are being slaughtered and unless conditions are relieved the wool business of the United States Q promised a blow from which it cannot well recover

 WRITE ID FRIENDS
 AND TELL OF VALLEY

Modern uses of the X-ray fin both medical and surgical work were ex- plained interestingly by pr. Win Will kinson at the weekly kiwanis club luncheon Yesterday. The speaker in jected humor into the discourse by citing Roy Murray and Fred Payne as examples of good material for the Ray.
 On behalf of the advertising com mittce of the chamber of commerce Press Bancroft presented plan for advertising Phoenix and the Salt River valley. He called upon each member of the Kiwanis club to send to friends and relatives outside the state two letters written on special chamber of commerce stationery. This stationery consists of four pages. The first is blank except for the let terhead bearing the newly adopted slogan: Rich. Resolute. Ready. Phoe- nix. Salt River Valley" The other pages show attractive scenes in the Salt River valley and sketch very accurately conditions here which in- cludes a cheerful forecast for the fu : ture. The idea was immediately en- dorsed and acted upon. Another plan for boosting this val ley was presented by Marvin Young a rancher. who advocated cutting Gown the size Of some Of the largei valley ranches and giving the out sidor an opportunity to come in. Leo Weaver gave some interesting infor- nation in a three minute talk on thu Builders exchange and it's work. Tasso Coe was chairman of the day Among the guests of the club wer.

Little JOURNEYS
A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men.

Gliding along the Glacier Trail
the other day in our seventeen
cylinder back action Packard
oughtomobile enjoying the balmy
zyphers of Minnesota February,
we thought, we. would stop off a
few minutes and make a friendly
call on Brother Archer of the
Kerkhoven Banner while our
chauffeur was replenishing one of
our tires with fresh azone by means
of hand pump.
We were about to inquire of ped
estrians on the street. as to the
geographical location of the Ban
ner office, when our we'll trained
olfactory organs caught the fam
iliar odor of sour paste. Follow
ing the scent we came to door
which we opened, and entered.
The front Office was deserted.
But it became evident to our eyes
at once that we had come unex-
pectedly upon the scene of
tragedy. The editorial chair was
lying upside down with its back
wrenched and three ribs broken.
The ink-well was turned bottom up
and the vital fluid was dripping in
to the waste basket. Editor Ar
cher's favorite copy of the Con-
gressional Records lay torn in
pieces on the floor and the bowl
of his pipe lay in the paste pot.
Suddenly there fell upon our as
tonished ears the weird strain of
music. 1t was the printers in the
back Office practicing song:
"Thereu be no coal bills over
, there"
When the song had subsidized, we
ventured to ask what had hap
pened, where was the editor and
wherefore the musical comedy?
'Well, you see" says one Of the
printers as he wiped his inky nose
with his apron, the boss has been
taken to the hospital and we thot
