BETTER LATE THAN EVER

En connection with the agitation for the cancellation of European debts to the Unite" States il is interesting 10 note that Great Britain is just now pattln@ herself on the back for hey share of fife BoNcr ind"nnItlcs, After the united military expedition into China to suppress the Boxer instruction was forced to agree to pay certain indemnItcs. The Jn;!rl States immediately rcmitted her share with the proviso that China should devote the money to the education of Chinese students ln tho United States. That was 23 years ago, Great Britain is now rclinqushing her share with strings to relinquishment. According to the London Times, "Thc British Govern ment does not propose to remit the indemnity, but the sum still due is to be devoted to the education of Chinese students under British auspiccs.'' The Times closes it's comment on the subject by saying that "Such a use of the indemnity is an act of far-secing states manship' It is some 23 years short of being as far-seeing as American statesmanshp.

He controls che stock and can do as he pcases, but the minority stockholders are making a vigorous protest They say that Ford and his assocl- ates can claim to be employees and share in the profits, and his new scheme will merely have the effect of denying profits to those stock

It looks as if the new tariff bill were going to beat the estimates of the ''eXperts" by about $15O0OO,0O0 as a revenue producer while exports are increasing and imports in dicate that Europe is selling more to us than ever before-the importers buying at low prices, but compelled to pay more into the Federal Treasury by way of duties. They arc no longer having things all their own way in the American market, and, though paradoxi- cal, the new tariff was followed by lowering of living costs.

to the unofficial count which was tele
phoned in. He made no request from
the County Commissioners for a
specified sum but the County Com
m~issioners. in consideration of
services rendered, allowed a. bill
which was far below what they would
have had to pay any person they
might have hired especially consider
ing the condition of the roads at that
time, there being approximately
eighteen inches Of snow over part. Of
the road between Cody and the two
above named districts. This required
five days Of his time, four days Of
which a team was used and he paid
his " expenses while in Cody, and
n day as Judge Of election.
Mr.. Morton delivered the ballots to
the Painter Post Office which is
about eleven miles for which a bill
of $11.10 was allowed. his services as
election Judge being included. The
sore point of the complaining party
is really this that heretofore he
delivered the ballots to the Clark
Post Office which is six miles from
his ranch and has received a renum-
GRAFTON of $1,000 for this service. The
County Commissioners in allowing ali
the bills for the election were just as
frugal as it was possible to be and
allowed no bill that was not legally
necessary holding the entire expen-
diture within the budget for the year.

on the .sharpest kind Of a struggle
throughout the match and continually
threatened the visitors basket for ad-
ditional goals but 1t was not Cody's
night and SO Basin. mainly with the
aid Of superior team work and clever
long distance basket shooting, went
home a victor.
Cody seemed outclassed at the
start, Basin scoring Don after the
commencing of play, and showing a
brand of team work, good dribbling,
a fast and varied attack. and a strong
defense which u boys found hard
to check.
Soon after the opening of the Sec

Cody fans breathed easier when it
was quite evident hat the local team
was putting up a keener fight and at
times clearly o~utplaying the visitors

rescue with brilliant dashes down
the floor, clever passing, and dribdl-

came to Cody to attend the annual
allotment conference, held. in the
Pioneer Building al the office of the

scented their estimates Of funds need
ed for the fiscal year 1928. Rangers
submitted estimates prepared from
their various districts, and these were
discussed at the meetings. The esti-
mates include maintenance Of i'm
provements, construction of new pro-
jects, trail and road funds, travel and
forage money needed.-in fact plans
for almost everything that can possib
ly be foreseen, were taken into con-
s~ideration.
The rangers estimates will later be
combined into a Forest total. and
presented. to the District Forester at
the annual Supervisors conference
to be held in Denver next month.
The meetings Of last week accord
ing to reports from the Forestry
Office. resulted IN benefit to all in
attendance and was made especially
enjoyable by two 30 called get to-
gether' meetings,-one at the Irma
Cafe. and the other at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lansworthy. at which
delightful dinners were served.
