new MAYOR TALKS
At ELECTION DANCE
Whole Town Guests Of Dr.. And
Mrs. TruebIood-- Applaud
Proposal To Bury Ratchet.

The election dance given by DR.. and
Mrs. r. C. Trueblood at the Temple
Theatre on Friday evening may be
taken as an Indication that the Doctor
meant what he said when he declared
that If elected cooperation would be
the keynote of his administration.
The Legion orchestra was engaged
and hand-biils printed extending a sin
cere and cordial invitation to the
defeated as well as the successful
supporters of the two candidates for
mayor.
Both sides responded. with the re-
suit that the largest and ~jolliest
dance OF the season was enjoyed by a
crowd which filed the Temple to its
capacity.
During the course of the evening
the new mayor made a speech which
was received with great enthusiasm.
He said in part:
IF there is any one thing that Cody
needs more than another II is CO.
operation. Never was there more
need of burying the Ratchet.
81 would take my hat off to the
sheepherder for two reasons: first,
because when God wished to reveal
to the human race the most import
ant message ever delivered to man,
he chose the lonely shepherd who
kept watch of the sheep by night;
second. because their work in caring
for the helpless lambs is such that
we all would do well to emulate.
II do not believe that order forced
by the heel is the better way to gov
ern, but rather in the home, school,
state or nation government secured
through respect. persuasion. and edu'
cation is best, at least in America.
Why not have law obedience or
B,.nizations instead Of nw enforce
ment organizations? Law enforce
meut implies broken laws and func'

prevents the need Of law enforce

HAY GIVES $1,000
TO AMERICAN LEGION

Laramie, May 10.-At the sugges-
ton of the American Legion commit
tee which had the drive for funds for
the community house in charge, the
editor of The Republican wrote 70
John w. Hay of Rock Springs, asking
for a contribution for the community
house. Mr.. Hays son. Archie, was one
of the victims of the world war. and
he was closely associated with many
of the Laramie men, so it was thought
that the idea of so lasting and splen-
did a memorial would be one that
would appeal to him.
Yesterday afternoon a telephone
call was received from Mr.. Hay, who
had been out of town. the letter just
reaching him, and he stated that his
gift would be $4,000. Mr.. Hay made
no restrictions on his gift as to the
amount to be raised. simply stipulat-
ing that he would make it conditioned
on the matter going through.

greatest misfortune that has befaI-
len this country.
He was a staunch Republican and
n of that party's best workers in
this section, giving generously of his
time and money and asking nothing
in return in the way of office or IA
vors.
Bill Hogg's endorsement meant
much to any candidate for it usually
carried with it the willingness to get
out and work for the person he re-
commended.
Mr.. Hogg was ffty-e.ght years
old and was born in the south of
Scotland in 1852. His boyhood was
spent in the north of England near
the village af Hawick in West More
land.
He anne to America in 'S4, or when
he vas twenty years old. He entered
the employ Of Robt- Taylor who was
an extensive wool grower lei Raw
Inns. After fifteen years with Mr..
Taylor. he moved to Casper and went
into the sheep business for himself.
After a few years he bought the Y.
U. ranch located some twelve miles
below M~eeteetse. He has been in this
section for more than twenty years
and through his industry and ability
developed one of the largest sheep
outfits in this part of the State.
About three years ago. he sold the
bulk of his ranch interests to Eychan-
er and Winninger and retired.
Mr.. Hogg was a man of extensive
interests in Park County and well
known throughout he entire state.
He was vice president Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Cody and held the
same position in the First National of
Meeteetse.
He is survived by his widow. two
sons and a daughter who have been
in California for some months.
Among those who are arriving for
the funeral services, which will be
held in the Temple on Sunday at 900
o'clock, are Mrs. Hogg, Robt. Taylor
and Mrs. Taylor of Grand Island, Ne
braska; Adam Hogg of Denver, and
Mr.. and Mrs. George Taylor and Mr..
and Mrs. Dave Taylor OF Tensleep.
Mr.. Hogg will be buried at Riverside

Greybull river where he was respect
ed by all for his sterling qualities, and
held in affectionate regard by the
many he had befriended.
Sincerity and loyalty were his chief
characteristics: he was blunt and out

MAIL CLERK
GETS MARK OF 100

Grace Lambert is one of the top
mail clerks of the State, according to
]. A. Cruickshank Of Cheyenne who
put the Cody mail clerks through their
yearly examination on Wednesday
morning.
She made 100 with Jesse Davis a
close second with a mark CT 1919.
The office average was 99.S9 which
is not apt to be excelled, if equalled.
by any office in the state. This high
average is most unusual, the post of
fee department man says.
The Cody office was at the top OF
the list last year also.
The examination is conducted by
means of a miniature separation case
with cards containing the names of
the 452 post offices in the state. Miss
Lambert threw these cards. which
means properly routing them, in fif-
teen minutes. or thirty cards a min
ute. This is very close to the record
held by any mail clerk in the state.
