CODY CREYBULL FOOT
BALL GAME PROMISES
PLENTY OF THRILLS

The Cody High school football
team will line up Saturday afternoon
at 200 P. M. on the athletic field at
the High School in the first game of
the season against the Greybull High
School eleven.
Coach Roberts has been working
hard with the boys and has developed
some good promising material from
among the % boys who have been out
for practice.
While the boys are rather light in
weight they show plenty of pep and
speed, and it is believed by those who
have seen the boys at practice that
Coach Roberts will develop a fast
team from the material that he has
to select from.
The line up for the first team has
not been selected as yet, but it is pro-
bable that the heavier and more ex-
perienced of the boys will be in the
initial lineup.
The boys are very enthusiastic and
confident that they will coin their
first game and a large attendance is
expected to see them play the first
game.
Most of the business houses will be
represented at the game, and every
one who can should turn out to help
cheer the boys on to victory.

MlDDLEOFOCT

Yellowstone Park, September 21.-
Automobile travel in Yellowstone
National Park will be welcome as
long as the roads remain open, not
withstanding the formal closing of
the park season on September Goth,
according to an announcement of
Superintendent II. NJ. Albright. 1t
Is believed that conditions will remain
favorable for automobiling until Oct.
10th or perhaps a little later, when
the first heavy SHOWS usually fall.
All hotels, camps and the regular
transportation system of the park
will discontinue operations on Sep
TENDER 10Th, and all special and
through Pullman train service will be
discontinued. Automobile parties ar
irving subsequent to that date should
be prepared to make their own camp
ing arrangements. Public camping
grounds, gasoline stations and stores
will remain open.
Travellers arriving in late Septem-
Der or October will find the nights
quite cold. The days during this
period are as a rule quite clear and
pleasant until the storms begin.
Fishing in the park will continue
after September Goth. There is no
closing date in Yellowstone Lake and
Yellowstone River, where fine catches
now are being made. The species
native to these waters spawn in the
spring. Fishing in Madison River will
lease October 10th, because of spawn
ing of Lock Leven trout.
Travellers reaching the parq in the
late fall should see abundance of
game. Deer and elk are returning to
lower levels of the park in proximity
to park roads and antelope recently
have been sighted frequently.

M. c. Wachtel, State Prohibition Commissioner, appears ito be highly
incensed v the statement published in the Enterprise that Harry Steadman,
the Laramie stool-pigeon, vas a State prohibition agent. He telegraphed
a rather premptory request that the mistake be corrected in the next issue
The same telegram apparently was sent to the Laramie Boomerang which
and explained that Steadman wasa Federal nt State prohibition agent.
But why should Mr.. Wachtel be SO incensed over this trivial error7
Why should the State Prohibition Commissioner be SO sensitive because
the toe lpigeon who furnished the liquor to put o n parties at which he wa
himself intoxicated "a said to be in the employ of the State department.
What has happened that Mr. Wachtel should suddenly object to having
it thought that a stoolpgeon using such methods to obtain evidence ws
attached to his department.
Are his methods any diferentfr from Federal methodist
Less than a year ago. MI. Wachtel appeared in Cody, as a Federal agent,
of his agents, Bruce Hodge, who ws accused and subsequently convicted of
drunkenness after having shot the Town marshol while resisting arrest. 1t

FARMERS DAY.

Beginning June 81 the retail
merchants of the city of Tucson
are going to conduct a series of
unique and unusual events that
will be of interest to the farm
ers and cattlemen of the county.
Tucson is the center of business
of Pima county. It is in Tucson
that the farmers of Pima county
hope to sell their produce on a
co operative basis to Tucson
wholesalers. And it is in Tue.
son that the farmers and cattle
men of the county come to make
their purchases of the thousands
of articles necessary for their
subsistence which they do not
grow on their own farms, and
for which they do not send an
order to some mail order house.
The mail order business has
increased tremendously during
the past year, and principally
because mail order houses have
increased their advertising ap
peals. The merchants of Tue
son, now realizing that advertis
ing to the farmer is a necessary
activity in order to combat the
competition of the mail order
houses who drain the state of
its surplus without putting any.
thing into the state in return,
are going to put over an adver
tising stunt that will be interest,
ing to follow and study. o. the
21st day of June, and probably
once a month thereafter a

ed in Tucson. The merchants
have combined to offer real bar

inducement to come to Tucson,

Mission figs made their initial
appearance; they are maturing
rapidly. The Irish potato crop
is now being harvested with the
favorable season reflected in both
the size and quality of tubers.
Sweet potatoes are about all set
out. The earlier plants are be
ginning to develop vines. There
seems to be much less interest
in yams than last season. Both
watermelons and cantaloupes are
showing sizable fruit. Citrus
appears to have set heavily but

PAVED ROADS FOR ARIZONA.

ment for paving highway sys.

the state would benefit through
the construction of such sys.
tenn as is proposed by the local

RADlUM SPRING DISCOVERED.

Tucson, June 2.-That he has
discovered two miles north of
the Gila river and three miles
east of Kelvin, a spring contain
ing radium in it's health giving
waters, is the contention of
Frank McGill, who has resided
near this spring for a number of
years. McGill declared recently
that he has sent samples of ore
from the locality to the Smith
sonian Institute in Washington.
D. c., and that it was declared
to contain radium.
Furthur substantiation of his
belief is declared by Mr.. McGill
to be found in the tests of sam
pies of the water at the Rock
fellow Institute, in New York
City, be asserting that t his es
tablishment reported the water
to be radio active.
The spring is situated one mile
south of Pinal Hill, Mr.. McGill
having resided there for the
past three years.
The discoverer of this spring
has boxed the opening to it and
has arranged medicine chest
| four by two feet in dimensions
from which the radium bearing
water is taken. The water, says
Mr.. McGill, filters through the
radium bearing rock in the 10
cality, and is perfectly clear ano
pure.

from the Office of the Adjutant
General of the Army, Washing,
ton, D. c., permitting corps area
commanders to accept applicants
for the Citizens Military Train
ing Camps who are Is years of
age, but who will be II at some
time during the calendar year
1923. Thus a young who is only
| IS years old when the camps
open July 28th, but will be II on
or before December 31st, 1923,
may be accepted.
The order granting this au
thority reads as follows:
Several applications from
young men below II years of age
have been forwarded to this of
fee, recommended by Command
ing Generals of corps areas, for
acceptance.
The minimum age limit for en-
trance to the G. N. #. Camps
was determined by the War De
partment after considering re
concentrations from all corps
area commanders and from other
sources in the country at large.
The Secretary of War considers
that candidates for the camps
should have attained the pbysi
cal, mental and moral character
istics typical of well developed
young man of II and directs that
II be the normal minimum age
limit for the camps.
However, corps area command
ers are authorized to accept ap
plicants for the Basic Red Course
who will attain the age of II
during the calendar year in
which the camp is conducted !,
when they are convinced that
the young men in question are
of exceptional physique; that
they possess the required attri
butes of character and have suf-
ficient mental and moral stamina
to attend G. M. T. Camp.
This authority will not be used
10 lower, in any manner, the
standards that have heretofore
been expected in INIT. Camps. .
This order will have a pro
nounced effect upon the recruit
ing of G. Nj. T. G. students IN
the Eighth Corps Area which
includes Texas, Oklahoma, Colo
RADIO, Arizona and New Mexico.
Heretofore. a large number of
applicants who were perfectly
qualified physically had to be re-
jected because they we're few
months, ard in some cases only
a few days, under the age limit.
Any young man who may be
effected by this change, even
though they have been previous
ly rejected, should make appli
cation at once. There is Citi
zens' Military Training Camp
representative in practically
every town in the Corps Area.
Application may be made to
these representatives or by writ
