<~Y ES, I certainly would
like to be elected I
said to Bobby and
Bunny one night just before cleo
ton day.
''Well, Foxy Grandpa. what is
the meeting over in the school
house tonight" asked Bobby.
my boy, they're nominating
the man who is to run against
me, and if they nominate Farmer
Jones I haven't as good chance
of winning as if they nominate
Bill Baker, because Farmer Jones
is very popular in this county.
However, tonight will settle it.
And after a while Wen walk over

AS finished speaking Bobby
ran out to feed his pet fox. And
as luck would have it, the fox
seeing a beautiful moon high up
in the sky, thought he would like
10 run off in the woods and visit
some of his old friends. And be-
fore. Bobby could catch him the
fox whisked out of the gate and
dashed down the road.
Instantly a great bowling and
barking started in the barnyard,
and right on his heels ran our pack
of foxhounds, yelping for all they
were worth.
What a racket they made as
their cries pierced the still night
air.
Bobby and | jumped up and ran
down the road to see if we could
call them back, but it was too late.
The fox was terrified. In his
fright he ran straight under the
schoolhouse where my opponents
were having the meeting. The
pack of yelping hounds ran after
him.
We stopped at the door OF the
schoolhouse and looked in, and |
tell you there was as much com
motion In the schoolhouse as there
was under 1t. All the men jump
ed to their feet. Some opened the
windows to look out and others
ran to the door.

CODY CLUB HEARS
FASCINATING TALK BY
MISS E. A. SEYF0RTH

The regular Monday Luncheon of
the Cody Club was of a very inter
esting and instructive nature.
In the absence of President Cook,
DR.. Trueblood had the Chair. The
features of interest were the remarks
of l.. II. Ewart, outlining the work he
had done, and the progress he has
made in Post Office and camp ground
problems, and the very interesting
and instructive talk by Miss T.. A.
Seyforth of the State Department of
Education.
Mr.. Ewart gave in detail the inform
alton that he had gathered as to the
attitude of the various towns in the
Basin in regard to the matter of fix
ing a charge for tourist accomoda-
tions at the camp ground and it deve
Hoped that nearly all the towns are
planning on charging a small fee for
camping privileges with the excep-
ton of Basin.
1t seemed to be the opinion of the
majority of the members present that
Cody should charge a small fee, with
the possibility of providing a free
camp ground in addition to the one
already provided. The matter was
referred to the directors of the Club
for final action.
In the matter of the Post Office
Mr.. Ewart stated that in the cores
p~ondence he has had with Senator
Warren in regard to this problem, II
is manifest that Cody would have to
wait for many years for Legislative
action to increase the APPROPRIATION OF
$40,500 that has already been made

that Cody should grasp at onc the

Jap Learns American
Ways and Makes Moon

Kay Timakawa, who is farming a
place near Ralston, was taken into
custody late Saturday night by
Sheriff Loomis on a warrant charg-
ing violation of the Volstead Act.
The sheriff found a quantity of
moonshine and a we'll equipped still
on the premises, and Immediately
took his prisoner to Powell where
Timakawa plead guilty before Judge
Monteba, to the charges of manufact
uring and possession of liquor.
Sheriff Loomis AYERS that the pris
oners Jap wife talked to him in Jap
anese, but from her forceful delivery
he understood every word of it.
In fact the sheriff admits that she
threw a scare into him as she seemed
uncommonly handy with a large knife
and looked him over for the obvious
purpose of finding a place for it in
his anatomy.
The still, which consisted of a
copper wash boiler equipped with a
copper coil and a faucet, was the
cleanest outfit confiscated since he
has been in office.
Timakawa will probably be bound
fover till the next term of District
Court.
