Service is Important
Factor in Life of Car

when one thinks OF the faithful
"old timers in the Dodge family
that one sees on the roads of Wyom-
ing the statement that 90 per cent
of more than a million Dodges are
still in active use does not seem so
improbable" said Leland Smiley,
yesterday.
But" he continued. there does
o seem to be any Dodges in the
junk mans stock-in-trade rel the
country. and to me 1t is more than
simply a case of long life. 1t is long
service that the owner values in his
Dodge Brothers car. Nobody Is 60
ing to cling to an old car Just be-
cause it is a relic. They do that
with heirlooms that have passed
down from m generation to the
other, but moi with motor cars. But
IL the car continues to give the same
dependable service year after year,
without undue expense for parts re-
placements and frequent overhaul
ing. 1t becomes the most economical
transportation that G man can posi-
bly, get. You can figure that by dis
%tributing the original list price of
the car over the number OF years of
service. when a man has owned a
car five, six or seven years. as Is
often the case with our owners. his
annual Investment is reduced to ridi-
culously small proportions.
1T has always been Dodge Broth
ers contention that dependable per-
formance, more than any other at
tribute, Is important to the owner
Combined with the quality OF long

PAT SULLIVAN OF CASPER IN THE LIMELI(

A recent issue of the National Republican in commenting
upon a visit of Pat Sullivan of Casper, to Washington, had the
following which will prove of interest to the Casper mans many
friends in this section:
Pat Sullivan, Republican national committeeman of Wyo-
ming, who is a Washington visitor, arrived in New York City
from Ireland in the late sos. He came because he desired to be-
come an Americana citizen in the land of opportunity for those
who would make the most of opportunity. He didn't mind hard
work. In New York City he got a job as a worker on the docks.
lie heard OF the great West. He determined it was better to get
away from the big city, go West and grow up with the country
After working three months on the docks he took his small saw
ings to the railroad ticket agent. Reserving a few dollars for
lood' ne told the ticket agent how much he had left for railroad
1are. The agent told him that his money would take him as far
as Rawlins, Wyo. Sullivan didn't know anything about Rawlins
or the far West except what he had read, for he had never been
outside OF New York City. but he determined that Rawlns should
be his destination. He made the trip in day coaches. moi having
enough money to pay for n Pullman berth. En- route he bought
cheese and crackers at stations where brief stops were made
he landed in Rawlins with only S4.60 in his pocket. But il mat.
practically no money, for he possessed a willingness to work. He
got a Job Willingness to work represented his great asset II
brought him success. ~
HE has climbed to the top of the ladder as a sheep rancher
and business man. The last time he made a count his hocks num-
bered $4,000. He has n great appreciation of America. He
took advantage Of the opportunities offered here. He is grateful
Tor the chance America gave him. He is devoted to his fine
family. his state and his adopted country. And he is devoted. too,
to the Republican party, for it was his early observation that the
West was experiencing its growth and development while the
FEDERAL government was being conducted under Republican ad-
served. was a great factor in promoting national prosperity.
The present Republican protective act-the Fordney- McCumhsr
!aw-has been a life saver to the West, he says. during the past
two years. Since this law became operative the metal mining
industry and sugar beet industry Of the West have been revived
and the rancher interested in the sheep and wool busines. ~

THE NEW YEAR
Ring out h old,
Ring in the new;
Ring out the false,
Ring in the true"

Standing at the beginning of the New Year one is impressed
by the fact of change, the transition from the old to the new.
That there is change we know; but behind all change is the fact
which steadies us-the changelessness of God. So we find bridg-
ing the chasm of the years, spanning the gulf of centuries, the
continuous, inerrant, immutable unity of the purposes of God
and amid the changing and shiftings of time, which are like the
changings of a garment, the years of the Almighty have no
change.
We are related to the immutabe. This ought to sustain US
in a world of change-and it does. The history of science, of
logic, of human reasoning, is based upon this assurance OF in
volatility and consistency in the universe. And the great hope;
the one hope of peace and confidence is in this certainty that our
affections and ideals are untouched by the changing years.
We need to have something fixed! We must indeed have a
fixed star above us to which we may look, and toward which we
may hold our way. The sailor must at times veer his course one
way or another as the storm blows. But he at last is brought
into port by the needle which points true.
Each experience of change demands that our ifes are not
the prey of the passing years. Each experience of change de-
ness and immutabiity of God! One who knew the tragedy of
change and the transitions of faith and fear wrote:
at fortfes my soul
That though l perish, truth is so;
That howso'er l stray and range,
Whateer l do, Thou dost not change.
l steadier step when l recall
That though l slip, Thou dost not fall"
The Old Year is dying. What regrets? What things left
undone What evil committed? What Indifference to the things
worth while?
The New Year is in its birth throes! Shall we resolve, I'M
der God, that life will become more sacrfcial and less selfish =?
1t We're better so; and that brotherhood be crowned with charity.
We put away the life of the passing year as we put away an old
garment-but there are purposes and hopes-whose years have
no end, and one may pass TRANQUILITY the artificial boundary of
years because one is upheld by the Everlasting Arms.

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

President Harding: eve have come thus
far, and thus fortunately, through the most
difficult period of reconstruction that we
have ever known. We have been sheltered
against the world storm of tendency to
social revolution. The best test of policy is
by results. By that test, we ask no more
than fair and reasoned verdict on our
program. We ask that its results be COM
pared with the showing, in these after-war
years, that can be presented by any other
country on the face of the earth. We ask
that you examine the contrast, thoughfully
and seriously, between the general state of
the public veal in this country and in
others. For our vindication, we point to a
great nation, its credit preserved, its indus
tries crowded to the point of capacity pro-
duction, its people employed, its wage
scales high beyond all comparison with
any other in the world, its banking system
standing as the final bulwark of sound
money and the gold standard, and its aver
age level of comfort and prosperity unex-
ampled among the races of men,"

ALASKA'S DAY HAS COME

Alaska experiences the dual advantages
of being picturesque and long way off.
During two decades its story has been
often told, but without dispelling the
glamor with which the novelist of realism
has enveloped it. Distance lends enchant-
ment, but discourages personal investiga-
ton.
President Harding is the first national
executive to visit the great territory to the
north and the significance of his visit is
that more than one hundred million pairs
of eyes follow him there. Where he goes
and what he beholds is national knowledge
as fast as wires can flash the word and
mails can carry the pictures. Thus, in a
sense, the American people are introduced
to Alaska, and many of them will discover
it something different from the bitter,
hardknuckled land of the novelist.
The visit is particularly timely through
the completion of the government railroad
to Fairbanks. This road penetrates the
rich agricultural valleys of the Susitna and
Nenana rivers to the important Fairbanks
district, through which flows the great
Tanana river with its neighboring mineral
uCPOOANo. AsCoA uOSCAOpiiCut VI hIdohd lle1S
waited on this railroad, for now it will be
possible for settlers to farm the abundant
valley, as large as the state of Iowa, and
supply the mining centers for which Fair
banks is the focusing point There prob
ably are thousands of sturdy Americans
who, once the true picture of Alaska's op-
portunity opens their eyes, together with
the assurance of transportation facilities,
would be glad to people this new frontier
for which experts prophesy future COM
mensurate with the great development of
the middlewest of the United States.
Ice and snow may be found in Alaska,
but also fat cattle and generous crops.
President Harding will experience both,
and his experience will be public property.
For such publicity the territory long has
petitioned; none will grudge those hardy
sons, who waited not on railroads, this
deferred revelation of the basis of their
faith. Alaska is the treasure-chest of the
Unitd States.

MY LADY NICOTINE

There Is very little romance con-
nected with the dope traffic. The
arrest Of a San Francisco woman
has unearthed an extensive con-
spiracy to violate the laws against
the sale Of narcotics. It is not a
pretty story. 1t would take more
than a woman to invest its sordid
features with anything resembling
romance. Sometimes we may feel
an element Of sympathy for a wo-
man who is led into breaking some
of the laws by the necessity Of
making a living for dependents,
but there is no redeeming feature
connected with the traffic in mar
cotics. For the sake Of an easy
profit with which to sustain an un-
earned and unmerited luxury the
dope peddler plays a game Of
chance with the lives and happiness
of his victims in which all the cards
are marked.
There are occasions when it seems
humane to a patient suffering from
an incurable disease to keep him
under the influence of morphine to
ease the pain and smooth his jour-
ney to the grave. But it is a ter.
rible responsibility to take, because
it closes the dor to all earthly
hope. It he should recover from
his original ailment he would be in
the clutches of another even worse.
From that dread affliction there
is very little chance to escape when
it has reached advanced stages

DOESN'T NEVADA
ADVERTISED

Lemuel Bolles, National Adjutatit
of the American Legion, was q
passenger through this part Of the
country recently, en- route to Sa n
Francisco and Los Angeles. Mr..
Bolles chief interest, as his train
fed through the great stretches of
Nevada lands, was centered about
its possibilities from the standpoint
Of colonization.
Doesn't Nevada do anything to
advertise these great stretches OF
available lands?" Mr.. Bolles in
quired.
While the query may not have
been SO pertinent in some localities
as in others, the question Of water
having considerable to do with the
value of any advertising canpai gn
designed to bring settlers, it new ar
theless expressed once more the
general idea that much could be
done toward increasing the popu Ia
ton of this state through the n ,e-
dunn of publicity accorded its : re-
sources and opportunities. Becas Use
Of the constant search of the or
ganization which Mr.. Bolles rep re-
sents, for new lands upon VII ich
former service men may be loeat ed
to advantage a lack Of means for
informing the nation at large up ,on
Nevada's great land areas may h I'VE
seem more objectionable to b i'm
than would have been the case " IT'D
the average private citizen. ! BUT
Bolles has had considerable ex-
perience with colonization. He eli ted

where large areas had been Gu lii

ships full Of immigrants waiting in Allan
tic Coast harbors to be landed under the
annual allotments to, the different nation
alities. However much the l. w. w., the
Bolshevists, the Socialists and some public
men have to say in severe criticism of the
Government of the United States and in
dustrial conditions here, it is evident that
the rest of the world looks upon the United
States as the best place on earth in which
to live. If the dissatisfied would only emf

would be more room and opportunity for
