DURANT STRONG IN
LONG ECONOMY RUN

Harry E. Clem, local manager for
Durant ears, is well pleased with the
showing made by both the Pour
and Six in the recent economy run
from. San Diego TO FL Centre, staged
exclusively by the motor car dealers
of San Diego.
The route to Ell Cento and back is
246 miles over a good road but with
many hills and one of the hardest
grades in the country.
The Durant "6'' consumed 9.S9
gallons of gas on the trip, with no
oil and two quarts of water. The "a =
made the round trip on 6.96 gallons
of gasoline, one pint of oil, and one
and one half quarts Of water. There
was no shifts of gears on the whole
trip and the Mountain Springs grade
was negotiated with ease. At no time
did the speedometer show over 30
miles per hour.

There are those who believe them to be singing
and eating societies. And there arc others who be.
ileve the meetings to be a waste of time. And
there are still others who claim TO believe that no
good can come out of any of them. z
OF course, those who know, know different with
respect to all of them.
There is little use to remind the pubIic of the
aims and objects of each of these organizations.
Such particulars are widely known. And for the
good they do look about you. They are to large
extent the clearing house for public opinion on
about all matters save politics and religion.
IL is very true that all of these organizations

but when they have done this you find them dis.

The discussion simply crystallizes into the action

Meantime, the Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis,
the Rotary, the Lions, and the rest go on their
tunefm and carnivorous way and are happy and
the community is benefited and don't know 1t.
If there was nothing more to these clubs and or.
CARNATIONS than the mere meeting and association
OF one member with another, that is worth while.
Any institution that draws men together in as.
sembly, big or little, important or unimportant is
for the public good, ultimately. The right of meet
ing and resolving is one of the early ones granted
by Magma Charta, it is still worth hanging on to.
and 1t has done a great work in the world.

Land Board amendment

DURING the 1921 session of the Wyoming legis.
~ lature, a resolution, known as Senate Joint
Resolution No. 2 was passed. 1t proposed an
amendment to the constitution and provided for its
submission to the qualified electors of the state,
recommending the consolidation of the present
state board of land commissioners, consisting of
the governor, secretary of state and superintend-
ent of public instruction with the state board
of school land commissioners, consisting of
the governor, secretary of state, superintend-
ent of public instruction and state treasurer. The
design being to merge the two boards into one and
include the state auditor to the end that the cleo
tive state officers form the board, assume the re-
sponsibility, do the work and save the overhead
expense of maintaining two boards, keeping two
seq of records and practically duplicating the
same general object.
= The amendment should be unanimously carried
because it is a step in the direction of economy.
1t will bring all state land matters into the one
board consisting of elective officers and will ex-
pedite transactions.
1t is just simply good sense in consolidating the
separate boards as sought by the adoption of the
amendment. There is every reason for adopting it
and no reason against it.

Drops down toward the west
On soft cloud pillows fringed with gold

And over garden field and lawn
And wooded m~ountainside
