Judging Nuts Difficult.
How to judge common dogs is pro-
viding the society with difficult
problem. Several of the best known
professional dog judges officiating
at the regular kennel shows here will
judge the NUTS. They have been
asked to formulate a set of rules
which can be used in this and future
shows.
One of the developments Of the
show may be the formation Of a ma
tional mutt show association, as pro-
posed by the Humane Education So

to exceed the expectations of the So

QUESTIONAIRES TO
KEEP CLERKS BUSY
THINKS WOODRUFF
TIRED OF ANSWERING CUES.
TONS, SHOSHONI SHEEP
MAN BALKS ON SIX IN
ONE MAIL
BY ]. d. Woodruff

The old saying that a child or a
fool can ask more questions in a min
ute than a wise man can answer in a
life time did not have any meaning
for me until recently or about two
years ago when the age of question
aires commenced and the fad for
which must now have about reached
the crest.
Many of the questionaires seem to
be modelled upon the income tax
schedule; in fact they commenced to
appear about the second or third
year after the income tax. The more
incomprehensible they are, the more
unsolvable and ridiculous, the more
conflicting, the more repetitions and
the farther they get away from the
subject, the more intelligence the de-
partment, bureau or commission
seems to think II has used. The
clerk or employee who can form n
list of questions which cannot be an
swered or which may be construed
in seven different ways, is considered
u genius, and is in line for promotion
to Fourth Assistant in the Depart
ment.
or course no other questionable has
ever quite come up to the income tax
schedule. II took Congress several
years and much effort, aided by the
best attorneys and authorities, to give
birth TO that monstrosity.
The last mail brought me six ques-
~tionaires, n modest one Of two pages
and an average one Of six; the others
were in between. II I should attempt
to answer all the questionircs that
come to me / would be as bad off as
to answer all the questionaires that
require n first, second and third assis
tant, n new dictionary, an encyclo-
pedia and a mind reader.

H. w. Thurston, Ned Frost and d.
A. Tinkcom have consented to becom
candidates to fill the vacancies left
on the city council by the resignation
of Roy Holm and the expiration Of
the terms of Hayden and Johnson.
Their selection is considered to be
admirable as they are all men who
have the respect of the community
where they have lived for more than
twenty years. They are known to be
fair-minded, upright citizens who,
may be depended upon to apply the
same rules to the conduct of the
towns business which have made
them successful in their W affairs.
They are all busy men and 1t is no
inconsiderable sacrifice to take on
additional responsibilities. Since they
have finally consented to become can
didates there is little doubt but that
they will receive the edorsement OF
the people of Cody at the special cleo

TEN-YEAR-OLD
Wants TO DIE,
TAKES POISON
EWING CHILD SWALLOWS
HANDFUL OF STRYCH-
NINE ~TABLETS--PROMPT
AID SAVES LIFE

The pupils and teachers at the Hig
School were given a bad scare on
Friday morning when it was discov-
cred that little Cleo Ewing the 10
year old child of Mrs. Jesse Shining
ton was in a dangerous condition
from taking a large dose of strych-
nine tablets. Prompt work by Doc
tor R. C. Trueblood undoubtedly
saved the child's life as she was in
commissions when he reached her.
The only explanation that the child
would give for taking the poison was
that she wanted to die, and that she
took a whole handful of tablets. 1t
is doubtful if the child realized the
seriousness of her act, as probably in
a moment of melancholy she decided
that she would end her life.

ed that it was an advocate of good
roads, catered to the farmer and had
a high moral tone which made it a
great factor for good in the COM
munity. The supporters of the En-
terprise argued that they were fed
up on good roads and farm articles
and would far rather read what was
happening in b~oot-legging circles;
that they preferred to be entertained
to being uplifted.
But the argument which gave the
decision to the Enterprise, and which
vas heard by the three judges above
the hub-bub made by the whole Club
talking at once, was that had it not
been for the Enterprise they never
would have known what a handsome
man Sanford Watkins was when he
was younger.
This was a clincher, and, since the
judges were marking by points like
a bucking contest, set the Enterprise
so far in the lead that the Heard
was never able to overtake it.

BILLINGS AERIE

CODYEAGLES
.SANITARIUM PLAN MEETS
WITH QUICK
VISITING BIRDS ARE
GIVEN WARM VEL
COME

That the Billings Aerie of Eagles
No. 176 are strongly in favor of the
building of a National Sanitarium
for Eagles, and think that Cody is
the logical and best location for such
an institution was evidenced by the
enthusiastic greeting given the local
Eagles who attended a meeting and
initiation held in Billings on Thurs.
day April 18th.
The Billings Aerie extended an in
v~itation to the local Eagles to visit
with them, and a party composed OF
r. ]. McGinnis, Lou Woolery, Jack
Daughters, Charles Enochs, Ernest
Edwards, DIR. o. B. c. Kinney, Jack
Horisky, Amor Moore, Ernest Ricci,
and Kid Wilson motored over to Bill
ings on Wednesday in Wilson's White
as to attend the meeting.
The Billings Aerie initiated a class
of So candidates and the local birds
who were present say that the work
was put on in a perfectly organized
manner and to the satisfaction of
both the candidates and members.
After the initiation the matter of the
Sanitarium vas taken up, and pre-
sented to the meeting by the mem
bers of the Sanitarium Committee,
and the entire membership present
voted solidly as in favor of the mat
ter of building a National Sanitarium
for Eagles, and for Cody as the loca-
ton for the same.
The members instructed their dele
gates to bring the matter before the
State Aerie, and to urge them to en-
dorse the movement as the Billings
Aerie has done, and the Secretary
was instructed to write to each and
every Aerie in the State of Montana
and ask them to give the Sanitarium
proposition with Cody as it's location
their full support and endorsement.
The membership of the Billings
Aerie comprises some of the best and
most influential professional and bust
nessmen in Billings, and it is indeed
encouraging to the members of our
local Aerie and the Sanitarium Com
mittee to have the unqualified sup
port and endorsement of the Billings
Eagles Now that the campaign for
a million dollar S~anitarium for Eagles
TO be built in Cody is in full swing,
let each and every citizen of ourcom-
munity boost everlastingly and for
ever for this movement, as it consum-
nation will mean more to Cody than
can readily be imagined, and be a
priceless boon to suffering humanity.
The Sanitarium Committee are
making a drive for members for the
On to Denver Class" to be initiated
April 23rd. The Committee wish
everyone who contemplates joining

FOR these, and other reasons, the

is as untrue as 1t is ridiculous.
In the 1irst place the news was not

Captain w. H. Stayton, founder
and executive head of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
who is in touch with the political sit
uation over the country, declares en-
phatically that the control of the or
ganized dry minority is slipping

dorsement of a candidates by the Anti
Saloon league is n to which the poll

as well as in the city are rapidly
awakening.
The Salt Lake Tribune has this to

the part which prohibition will play
in it: Reconsideration it may

our critics is hat we are not econ.
structive". Somehow the accusation
has never disturbed us. We have OBJ.
served that being Constructive"
seems to consist chiefly in endeavor-
ing to put across some visionary
scheme or experiment, some costly
improvement at a time when the tax
payers have about all they can stag
ger under. We have noted too, that
the most vociferous of our construc-
tive citizens are those who have not
made dazzling successes of their own
business.
For o%urself, we would prefer to be
"unprogressive", "non-constructive",
and know that our name was good on
the business end of a check any time
we chose to write it, to being pro-
gressive and constructive that we
were always in imminent danger of
seeing the auctioneer hunting over
our front sidewalk for a crack in
which to plant his red flag.
This dissertation leads up to the
point we wish to arrive at, namely,
that we are plumb tickled to lend
what aid we may to obtain the pro-
posed Eagles sanitarium for Cody
without straining what passes for our
conscience.
1t is the most likely and feasible
proposition which has been put up to
this community for years. There is
everything to be said in its favor and
little or nothing against it. With the
ideal location which Cody can offer
and the imperative need of such an
institution by this large and financial
ly substantial organization, it seems
a fairly safe bet that the hopes of the
originators of the plan will be realiz-
ed. We like, too, the earnest and
business-like way in which the local
committee is going after it though
we do miss the conversation which
always has been a feature of any
undertaking of this nature.

At the recent meeting of the states
law enforcement officers in Cheyenne

league in Wyoming, told that gather

speech to the states county attor-

Apropos of this meeting, Sheriff
George Carroll told the Lions Club
in Cheyenne last week that little was

as almost a confession of failure to
enforce the law Neither the Gov
ernor nor attorney general had any
plans to offer, he said. "The only
thing we did accomplish" Sheriff Car

quainted and organize the Wyoming

1t is conceded that the support of
the Anti Saloon league to candidates
for elective office is becoming a LA
bility rather than an asset and the
recent mayoralty election in Chicago
may be cited in proof of it.
The Anti Saloon league took a
hand in the campaign with results
disasterous to the candidate it sup
ported. Endorsed by the league, the
republican dry candidate was defeat
ed by a majority of 100000 votes
whereas the Democratic candidate
who had announced himself as oppos-
ed to "Blue Laws" and holding liber-
al views had an easy victory.
