CHEYENNE. Wyo., September
24.-Two white swans, dead and
stuffed, occupying the peculiar
position Of also being white ele-
plants, in so far as the federal
government was concerned, at last
have found a resting place. They
will go OF the University OF Wyo-
ming. at Laramie, there to remain
until the end of time, or until they
rot away. or until somebody finds
some other use for them
Bacl, in March; 1920. Walter

possession OF one of the then beau
tiful birds. Three days later Carl

swans. confiscated them. and then

swans were forfeited to the United

And right there the govern

assigned to him place had to be
found for the finished. products
But no one wanted them. Finally
they were assigned to the United
States marshal's Office in Cheyenne.
There they have been confined ever
since. They are not exactly what
you would call thing Of beauty
and joy forever; rather they have
been som9what IN the way. One
might even imagine that they were
there to strike terror into the
hearts, of all evil-doers gathered

Druggists Declare Public Will Not
Pay More for Soft Drinks.

DENVER, Col, September 24.-The
American public will not stand for
any more increases in the price Of
soft drinks as the result of war taxes
and is opposed to federal taxes on
toilet goods and proprietary medi-
c;nes. in the opinion of the National
Association Of Retail Druggists,
which is holding its twenty-third an
nual convention here. The association
expressed that opinion today. when
it adopted the recommendation Of the
legislative committee. headed by
Frank T. Stone, Washington. D. c..
that the convention ask Congress for
relief.
The druggists also voted to ask for
enactment of the Kelly BILL providing
for the standardiza ton of resale
prices; for the amendment oe the in
ternal revenue laws and the national
prohibition act so as to remove the
ella ssification of retail druggists as
retail liquor dealers.

Young McComb Man
Loses Foot In Accident

G. e. Afford, young man of 26,
of McComb, was caught on the Che
rokee street crossing here Friday
night by the Chicago Limited train
at IL O'Clock and his left ankle so
badly mangled and crushed that am
putation was necessary afterward.
From the statement of witnesses to
the affair it seems that Mr.. Afford
was crossing the track not far ahead
of the train, due to come to stand
still within another block when he
seemed to stumble and fall, at the
same time crying out loudly for help.
AS soon as the train had passed he
was picked up by persons on the
street and carried to Drs. Parsons
and Collins offices. where all avail
able attention was given him. A
wire hoop was removed from his legs
after the accident, which is attribu-
ted to be the cause of it, 1t being
believed that he became enmeshed in
1t as he was crossing the track ahead
of the train, and on this account was
unable to get out Of the way In time
to avert the accident.
The injured man was taken to Nc
Comb early Saturday morning to the
Illinois Central Hospital on account
of the fact that the Brookhaven Hos
pital is closed at present for rebuild
ing purposes.
Mr. Afford was brick mason by
trade and was a frequent visitor here.
He was a single man, but had been
married, having been divorced from
his wife.

Many Ladies Expect to
Attend Court Opening

There will probably be represen-
tatives from every woman's organi-
cation in our city present at the op-
ening Of Circuit Court next Monday
morning at nine o'clock. Religious
and secular organizations would do
well to cherish an interest in the
enforcement Of law and order. A
more intimate knowledge of the do
ings of court session will enlist
this interest and tend toward employ
ing high ideals and expressing them
to the advantage Of our children who
are being tossed about in a mack
strom of conflicting tendencies that
have no relation whatever to Chris
tian civilization and refinement Of
character.
After noting endorsement in the
Leader Of the invitation Judge Mil
Ter extended to the ladies of our town
and county the Circuit Judge has
written
1T is to be hoped large number
Of ladies will attend the opening Of
court. Should they do SO I am sure
it will be very helpful to law en-
forcement."
Let our women bear In mind the
date and hour Of the convening Of
Court.
