THE ROUNDUP RHYME
By F. F. M.

The Welfare League is run for ALL Don't sit and wait
until they CALL
But send your contributions right away
Let's make this Drive rarity and for sweet Christmas
charity
Mail in that check you talked of yesterday
On Monday Sousa comes to town. and meath his spell the
desert brown
Should turn to rose, and amethyst and blue.
For music hath magic touch to poets near-poets and
such,
Affecting them perhaps, as does home brew
The Indians ride far and wide and chase the bovine from
her hide
To make the ton1-toms for their coming show
And this week we will have chance to hear them sing
and see them dance,
And exc the mighty tomahawk to throw.
Did youresolve New Years Day optimistic be alway?
And is that resolution still hole proof?
When you wakened from your sleep by bosses which
the neighbors keep
Have you again begun to raise the roof?
The tourists have begun to flee the cold and bitter north
countree,
And flock to Phoenix town by every train
And should treat them royalty and make them love
loyalty
The sunshine should not be their only gain!
For driving seet and falling evils
know
Who live in Arizona where the sun is ever bright
Let's give the hand of fellowship to those who from
Winters grip
And let them know that Western hearts are hearts
forever right.

BEST BACK YARDS

With Enterprise As incentive
For Cody Folk to Spruce Up

A visitor to Cody who prefers to
remain anonymous, has left a check
for $50 with the Enterprise which is
to be divided into prizes for the three
best looking back yards in town this
summer.
1t will be distributed in amounts CT

With a few exceptions. the back
yards Of Cody are not conspicuous
for their beauty and this fac so inn
pressed the visitor. with whom
attractive backwards are somewhat Of
a hobby. that the money was left as an
incentive to make some improve

So here is a chance for ambitious
youngsters and grown-ups to earn
some money and at the same time do
their bit toward making Cody a more
slightly town and adding to the value
OF their property.
Flower and garden seeds do not
cost much and an hour or two a day
will do wonders.

GREAT POWER PLANT AT SHOSHONE

Two Units Now Installed Will Develop 5000 Horsepower and

At one o'clock last Sunday after

The event was quite an suspicious

of the biggest electric power projects

within five minutes after the water
was turned on was running at maxi

able of generating 1000 horsepower.
The second unit will be ready to oper-

Library BOARD IS
HARD TO CATCH
Donor Of Books Unable To Pre-
sent Petitions Signed BY Tax
payers To Restore Them.
Editor of Enterprise:

Editor of Enterprise:
1t seems impossible to find out When
the Library Board holds its meeting
and as we have a matter of public in
terest to take up with them, we hope
you will allow us to state our case
through your paper.
Petitions asking that Miss Lock
harris books be re-catalogued and
again placed upon the shelves Of the
the county and have been signed by
hundreds OF citizens and taxpayers.
Therefore, to you members OF the
Library Board. we wish to say that we
will appreciate it if you will notify
us when it will be convenient for us
to come before you and present these
petitions
We would also appreciate it IL you
will tell US why these books were re-
moved from the shelves just after
Marjory Ross became a member OF
the Board. We have been told hat
Marjory Ross say that il these books
are replaced it will be "over her dead
body"
If this is true, the books, then. are
kept out for personal reasons. Now,
we do not believe that the public
should be deprived of something it Oh
viously wants, and is entitled to, be-
cause of spite on the part Of Marjory
Ross. She is not a taxpayer, and the
people who want these books on the
shelves are taxpayers and help to
keep up the library.
These books are in other Carnegie
libraries throughout the United States
and in every library of Importance in
the country.
OF course. If Marjory Ross takes the
matter so much to heart that she
would rather die han see them on the
shelves. and there is any real danger
to take them back and loan them out
ourselves to the many library patrons
who inquire for them.
Rather than to see Miss Margie's
dead body blocking the door of the
library, we might consent tc do this.
for we realize that her kilograms and
letters to the President, Senator War
rem. Hon. Frank Mondell. Governor
Carey and other lawmakers would be
greatly missed and the loss of her ad-
vice and counsel would be a big han
dicap in the business Of running the
government.
Hoping, however. that we may
have been misinformed as to the dan
ger of Miss Margje passing out in this
fashion, we shall continue to await
word from the Library Board as to
when we may be able to meet with
them.
Yours truly.

Thogs who nonchalantly assert that

Every now and then we are told in
Mr.. Newton's columns hat the pros
ecution Of the liquor cases is a lucra-
tive business and the bootleggers and
moonshiners now filling the jail are
a source of revenue to the county.
The taxpayers should hope SO with
the expenses of the sherif's office
amounting to s984.19 for the month of
March.
This sum includes the salaries of
the sheriff, his deputies, their expens-
es, and the board of the prisoners
paid to Mrs. t. P. Cullen.
TTTg
With the little item of s9s4.19 for
maintaining the sheriff's Office for one
month staring us in the face, we turn
to the new report of the State Exam
iner for 1921 which sets forth the cost
of government in the counties of Wy
oming.
Therein we note hat the cost of
maintaining Sheriff Davis office last
year was $~6,2S2.53. or $629.82 more
than it cost Big Horn county, the pop
ulation of which is nearly double that
of Park county.
1t cost Park county S3,S09.11 more
to maintain its sheriff's office than it
cost Washable County.
The only county in the basin paying
out more for its sheriff's office than
Park County was Hot Springs County
with seven murders On its court cal
endar.
The cost OF the sherifrs office to
the four counties in the basin is given
by the State Examiner as follows.
Hot Springs County 800. $10.961.17
Park County .............. 6.282.b2
Big Horn County .........- 5.652.71
Washable County ......... 2,473.42

DOING GOOD
WORK AMONG COYOTES

There are at least twenty coyotes
less on Elk Fork and around the Rich
ards Ranch as a result of the poison
put out by Clifford Spencer of the
Canyon Ranger Station since the wis.,
it of the predatory animal inspector a
few days ago.
Ten of these were found and at least
ten nor had taken poison which is
sure death.
The coyotes came into the corral
at the Richards ranch and killed a
sheep a short time ago. They also
killed a deer on the hill back of the
ranch.
On the Jenkins place where there
are some twenty head or more of
goats. it is necessary to keep close
watch over them and shut them up
nights on account Of coyotes.
