HANDS-THE CODY STAMPEDE
OF 20 WILL Be A WHIRLW|ND
Long Horns And Bucking Horses, Riders, Ropers,
Indians, Dudes And Cowboys Will Be Here
For The Big Celebration July 3, 4, 5th

has been engaged to furnish the dance
music. The members of this orchestra
ira have gained much popularity
since they came into the territory,
not only because of their excellent
music but through their Willingness
to oblige.
M. j. Dayer will be over from Mid
west to take charge of the financial
end of it. This is a difficult job and
he handled it in such a business-like
fashion last year tina tthe Committee
feels itself fortunate in again obtain
ing his services.
C. A. Starkey, the wool buyer, who
has been coming to Cody so many
years that we look upon him as one
of ourselves, will also be on hand to
help, and DIR. Blaske is too have his
job of last year. Clayton Brady has
promised to be here if he can make
it, and there will be r. ]. McGinnis,
John Nolan, B. C. Rumsey and as
many more of the former %organiza-
ton as possible on Mr.. Ewart's staff.
Henry Haid and Ted Hogg who did
their bit last year will be missed, un-
less they get an itching when they
read the Stampede news and come
back.
The crowd is the least of our wor-
ries if the weather behaves, and the
number of letters of inquiry which
have come in at this early date is a
pretty good sign that the Cody Siam
pede is on the up grade.
Jim Lynch, u worlds champion
bulldogger and trick rider, sends for
information and dates, from Laurel,
Montana.
Clover Sturlin wants to come down
from Joliet, Montana and act as
clown for us. He says he is very
funny.
Sam Bass is making preparations
to entertain a party of relatives and
friends who are coming from back
East in Missouri to make him a visit
and see the Cody Stampede. y
Judging from what we heard on a
recent trip to Denver, a large number
of men are going to have important
business in Shelby, Montana, on the
Fourth of July. They plan to bring
their wives as far as Cody to attend
the Stampede as a peace offering.
The Flying w Ranch intends to
bring its roundup wagon and cook to
Cody for the three days of the cele-
bration.
Other Buffalo writes from the
Crow Agency that as she does not
wear shoes she would like to have a
present of a deer hide so that she can
make some m%occasins and come to
the Stampede. We girls all have the
same trouble-"nothing to wear"
Jack and Jesse Coates who are
among the top contest hands of the

YUM! YUM! TRY SOME
Picked BEARS FEET

A. J. Martin was walking around on
Decoration Day with a queer looking
package which he said contained
bear feet for "Bill" Simpson. II any
one doubted it, he readily proved il
by undoing the parcel.
It appears that Attorney Simpson
has a penchant for picked bears feet
and as the demand for bears feet for
this purpose is limited, he has plenty
in season. Where he acquired this
taste is something of a mystery but
the supposition is he has lived with
the Indians. 1t also gives rise to the
question as to whether he eats some
other of their famous delicacies.
This diet of bear feet may be what
makes him so savage when things go
cross-wise. Very likely, too, he takes
on n few bear feet before going into
the courtroom when a hard case in
up. At any rate, don't anybody waste
their bear feet from nov on; do them
up in n neat package and send them
to w. l.. Simpson.

we confess to a waning interest
in Mr.. Newton and his Herald. Be
yond a glance at the headlines to see
if he knows anything we do not
which seldom happens-we have ceas
ed to peruse his chaste columns. Last
week, however, seeing ourself featur-
ed in his headlines, we did read him
carefully. We learned that we have
a "magott mind"-whatever that may
be something lively, we take it
"exude venom" are a coward and a
liar, malign Methodists, ridicule all
law and behave like a daughter of
Satan generally.
This from the apostle of sweetness
and light who edits the Herald, makes
us feel that something has curdled on
Len Leander. There is a sackful
that we might say back if we wanted
to, but somehow we cannot stir up
any enthusiasm. Besides, we hope we
are too much of a lady to hit a dead
man. .
DIR. Josiah Oldfied who died in Eng
land recently at the age of 1872 years
attributed his long life to plain food
and a liberal daily allowance of home
brewed ale. We now look to see fig
ures from Brother Deets Pickett in
the Methodist prohibition bulletin
proving that DIR. Oldfield's intemper-
ate habits shortened his life.
Before prohibition, George Korlick
of Edwardsville, ILL.,, was a kind hus-
band and father, coming home with
armful of presents for the children
and theatre tickets for Mrs. Korlick
whenever he had had a couple of
drinks of bourbon or Three Star
Hennessy. But he spent too much
money. Therefore, when prohibition
went into effect Mrs. Korlick rejoiced
and hung a picture of Mr. Voistead
in a gilt frame in the parlor. But
prohibition proved a failure so far
as Mr.. Korlick was concerned; he
started a distillery in the cellar and
took to drinking his own product.

The sagebrush has turned green,
the cottonwoods are in lief on the
creek bottoms, the horses have shed
and Major Hopes is wearing his
straw hat all signs of spring and
warning that Stampede time will be
upon us before we know it.
1t is time to be trying out your
geldings, cowboys, limbering up for
the bronc riding and getting in prac-
tice to lay your ropes on the long
horns when they come out of the
chutes like tn ebt out of-you know
where.
And wait until you see their stride!
They walk like elk, and when they
trot reach out like r. C. Hargreaves'
Sabbath Day" coming down the
home stretch at the Billings Fair.
John Kirkpatrick says it will take a
race boss to catch 'em and he de-
clares the top pole of the corral is
none too high for him if they get on
the fight in the arena.
Fay Hiscock went over to the yards
at the station to take their pictures
but one of them with a brockle face
got to taking such an interest in him
end eying his camera with such a
hostile expression that he did not
linger for a closeup.
Horns and hoofs were what we
were after when we picked them from
several carloads in the Denver stock
yards, and horns and hoofs are what
we got-31 head of them, built for
speed and battle.
George Coleman will soon join the
horse roundup on the Crow reserva-
ton and the Big Bench. George
knows a bad 'un when he sees it and
can be depended upon to bring home
a string that will make the best of
them ride. Howard Tegland, who
won two worlds championships last
year, one at Cheyenne, declares that
the Cody Stampede had a collection
of buckers hat were as hard to "set"
as any he met up with during the
season.
"Jerky Bill" says he has a long
legged sorrel that he wants to see
somebody tackle, and "Billy" Cos
grove, foreman of the cattle outfit on
the Crow reservation, told us that he
had a couple that would make their
riders hunt for something to hang to.
C. II. Studebaker has been prevail
ed upon to take entire charge of Wolf
vile this year, its dance and amuse-
ments. This means that everything
will be handled in a careful and sys-
stematic manner with plenty of enter
tainment for everybody inside the
high board fence. The Stampede
Committee counts itself lucky to have
p~ursuaded Mr.. Studebaker to take the
management of this very important
adjunct to the Cody Stampede.

Many complimentary remarks are
being heard on every hand with re-
ference to the progressiveness and lib
erality on the part of the Cody En-
tesprise in offering a brand new 1928
model Dodge touring car and other
rich attractive prizes in its big sub
~scription contest which is just start
ing and which comes to a close the at
ternoon of July 14-just six weeks
from this Saturday.
The undertaking, while colossal in
a way, has met with instantaneous
favor in the eyes of the newspaper
reading public of Park County and,
if the advance interest manifested be
taken as a criterion, the menture is
already an assured success Never
before in this community has there
been a campaign of such magnitude
where the time was so short and the
conditions so easy and liberal.
Dodge Car Big Feature.
One feature alone is enough to
make it the most talked of event of
recent happening. That feature is the
offer to award a brand new Dodge
touring car, worth SOTO to the can
didate securing the greatest number
of votes in this competition.
There have been other contests in
this vicinity where the first award
vas a piano or something in that
class, but that was not considered to
be of sufficient value for The Enter
prise contest. We want good work
and are willing to pay literally for it.
The best there is to be had is none too
good for our candidates and that is
what we had in mind when we select
ed a big Dodge as the Grand Capital
Prize.
In addition can you imagine any
thing more alluring than n trip to
New York City? Think of being able
to spend your summer vacation in tbs
wonder city. There is hardly another

Instead of making him generous
and mellow, the moonshine turned
him into a. skinflint and he took to
whipping his wife for exercise, while
the children, who had once RAJ to
greet him, hid under the sofa when
ever they saw him coming. So, last
week, Mrs. Korlick poked her hatpin
through the picture of MI. V%olstead,
chopped up his gilt frame for kind
ling, and asked the Judge for a di-
vorce from Mr. Korlick on the grounds
of cruelty and abusive language.
What a lot that congressman from

Another prohibition director has
gone wrong-and been caught at it.
Joseph H. Shearer, former prohibit
ton director of Ohio, has been arrest
ed, found guilty and released under
$4,000 bond on the charge of conspir-
acy to violate the liquor law. Also
Frank Countz, a former prohibition
agent, together with two prominent
attorneys of that state. According to

Mrs. Charles Pancake of Lusk,

The outstanding expenditure for the year were the funds used for the erection of the soldier monument at Nineteenth street and Carolina ave- nue, the memorial tablets for which are now being made. A considerable portion of tho funds were also used for the relief of disabled veterans and their families. while an interest ing item was that of 32 Christmas boxes sent to the hospitals last year.

INTERESTING REPORT


 In summarizing the work Of the Wednesday Music club for the past year, Mrs. Julian Brick submitted some interesting data to the meeting of the organization held this week. The club has become one of the lead Ing institutions for the advancement of the study of music in this sec tion, and In addition to eXpendlng considerable sum of money during the year, has staged some of the most interesting musical events oc- curing here. The club has also been active in securing scholarships for many young people who have ex- ceptional talent.
 The club has sponsored the organi- zation of other music clubs of the dis trict, notably among the children. Some of the clubs organized are: The Hueytown Junior Music club. the Jonesboro Junior Music club. the Juvenile club, the Junior Wednes- day Music club, the Mcdowell Music club. On the community phase of the concert program, the report states: At the beginning Cf the year, Mrs. Stevenson appointed com mittees to cover the civic. welfare and musical work of our club. Every member was placed on a committee with set duties incumbent upon her. We feel that this, too, has been a step forward. Under the director ship of Mrs. E. L. Huey, a splendid sacred concert was given at the Methodist church. This was attend. ed by a large group of interested music lovers.
 "Under the chairmanship of Mrs c. B. Hollingsw worth, three lovely pro- prams were recently given by mem bers of the club-one before the Ro- tary club, and two over radio. In all instances. enthusiastic receptions were given us.
 National Musio Week was fitting ly observed February 1924. and Mrs L. l.. Yam was chairman of all ar arrangements. All clubs in the city instantly responded. and splendid pro grams were rendered before schools. churches, clubs. etc.
 Another accomplshmen upon which we pride ourselves Is the securing of scholarships for worthy and ambitious young artists in our midst This work exceeds all oth- CTS in importance. Recently we were instrumental In procuring scht lar ship in violin for MT. David Nixon and one In vocal for Miss Phyllis Waites, of whom we should feel just ly proud. since they are both Besse- mer products. We expect to get worthy results from our efforts In their behalf, however, for they arc sure to make their marks Tn the musical world in the near future.
 Taken all in all. we had successful, happy and harmonious year. We are still not perfect, but in glancing back over the years work. we feel that another long and hearty stride has been taken toward | our goal"
