ARM|ST|CE DAY
REAL GALA DAY

The Armistice Day program and pa
rade on Monday was without doubt
the most successful and %pretentious
that has ever been given in Cody.
The success of the entire program
was due to the untiring efforts of
Prof. Rudy w. Cooper and the whole
hearted cooperation given him by the
committees in charge of the various
features of the program and parade.
The program begun with exercises
at the high school auditorium at 900
a IN.
At the close of the program in the
school the forming of the parade in
front of the school was begun, and at
about 1890 the parade started on the
line of march down Sheridan avenue.
The float of the 9th grade carried
off first mention with the "Navy" as
their subject. The float represented
a ship with colors flying and the crew
in uniform with the signal flags of the
navy. The floats are all deserving of
honorable mention and showed that
the citizens of Cody al put it across
when they make the effort.
The comedy feature of the parade
was furnished by the Upper Sage
Creek Country Club float, arranged
by the irrepressible Art Pearson at the
last minute. The float carried decor
atoms of alfalfa and bundles of grain,
and n five-piece "rube" band.
At the conclusion of the parade the
crowds assembled at the school house
where the presentation of the flag
was made. Forest Supervisor Hutton
made an impressive address of pres
entation.
The afternoon was taken up with
the in%itiatory work of the 40 & Sers,
who put through a class of a dozen
candidates.
The American Legion Benefit Ball
given by Mrs. Lulu Hall rounded out
a most successful and enjoyable day,
and Cody may well be proud of the
hitting manner in which Armistice
Day was celebrated.

INNOCENT
AS BABE OF COPS
LIQUOR CHARGE

The Keystone Barn was subjected
to a thorough search on Monday aft
ernoon by Sheriff Loomis and E. ].
Goppert, who were armed with a
search warrant charging manufacture,
possession and sale of intoxicating Ii
quor on the premises named.
The barn is being operated by w.
s. Widdous, who was absent from the
premises at the time that the search
was made Chris Nelson the hostler,
being present at the time.
1t is stated that the search failed
to reveal any liquor, although several
empty bottles and a ten-gallon key
filled with water were seized by Mr..
Goppert as evidence of one sort or
apother .
Widdous was later taken before JUS
tice of the Peace C. A. Marston, who
dismissed the complaint on grounds
of no evidence.
1t was stated that Mr.. Goppert
worked real hard on the business end
of a pitchfork, turning owe tons of
hay in fruitless search for illicit liquor
and that the 10-gallon key filled with
water was seized by Cop with all the
avidity of a boy making off with a
pumpkin pie.

RUSSELL k|MbALL FORMALLY
RETAINED BY MRS. WHITNEY
Buffalo Bill Statue to Have 100 Acres of Ground,
Plan-Base of Red Granite from Canyon to
Cost $4O,OOO-wil be spent in Cody

Russell Kimball has been retained
formally by Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney to have complete engineering
charge in the erection of the Buffalo
Bill statue, according to a letter re-
ceived from Mrs. Mary Jester Allen.
Mrs. Allen adds that MI. Kimballs
letters and surveys have pleased those
interested in the Memorial so much
that it is considered remarkable that
so small a town should have such a
fine and able engineer. This is all most
gratifying news to such Cody folk as
have long appreciated the fact that
in Mr.. Kimball this little community
had not only as able an engineer as
there is in all this western country,
but a man who by reason of his fine
traits and qualities is a superior per-
son. Among them is the modesty
which has kept him from receiving
the full appreciation which should
have been his long ago.

Loomis, a rather well known humorist
and author in his day. Her hand was
paralyzed so hat it was curled under

"When her turn came, Bishop Tho

there this week. The best physicians
cure her of "A long illness.

"How do we explain it? We do
not explain it, we have no theory ex-
cept hat it is done through faith. This
has been going on quietly for a long
time among the Episcopal clergymen,
who have been feeling their way,
avoiding publicity and anything hat
smacks of the faker and of sensation
alism.
"The Episcopal church has been
asking three questions concerning
miracles. Is it lack of faith
that prevents them from happening
today? Do they happen? Or did they
never happen? Out of its speculations
have come these modern miracles
through our church-the most con-
sentative church in C~hristendom."

THE DUDINES CAN'T
CAN'T!

This summer the fashionable
Eastern girls at the Dude ranch

been showing US a few, says the
Idaho Statesman. They appear
Mt local dances dressed in one
button flannel shirts. high heeled
COW boots, five-gallon Stetsons,
smoke cigarettes, even while
dancing, s cuss words freely,
drink moon and think the west
is calling them. Our poor little
well-behaved, respectfully dress
ed ranch girls sit by wondering
II the call of the east would
make such darn fools out Of
them.
That covered wagon show has
cerainly started something. New

In the park next and electing

those eastern girls can't roll
their own, they havn't the

A prohibition agent was arrested
on a farm in Nebraska where three
stills were in operation. OF the in
cident the Cheyenne Tribune says:
Anti-prohibition proponents will
cite his case derisively, d~eprecating
the whole fabric of the prohibition
theory because one agent of prohibi-
ton law enforcement machinery was
unworthy of trust imposed in him.
The argument will be inept-as thor
oughly so as it would be to deprecate
the law %forbidding murder because
public officers sometimes have COM
mitted murder from private motives.
We read the above with our tongue
in u cheek, figuratively, of course.
Not so much because zone agent of
prohibition law enforcement machin-
cry vas unworthy of trust imposed on
him. as because, if they do things in
Nebraska as they do in Wyoming, he
probably will stay on the payroll and
continue to draw a salary for catching
others doing what he was caught at
himself. We might, for example,
mention Bruce Hodge, who was ar
rested, convicted and fined for drunk
ennes in Cody, but who afterward re-
manned in the employ of the Federal
Prohibition Department, and is still
there for all we know to the contrary.

An Oakley, Wyoming, man came to
a tragic end a few days ago in pun

cellar to see how his grape mash was
getting along, touched a spot on the
electric transmission wire and wa
killed.
Judge Leonard d. Verdier, of the
Superior court of Michigan, has de-
clared for a modification of the Vol
stead act. "The law is too drastic
and no one believed that it should in
terfere with a person in his home. The
result of too drastic law has made it
impossible of enforcement and it is
violated continuously in Grang Rapids
and other parts of the state and the
whole United States" he said.

Here are the facts of that meeting
as told by DIR. Winecoff, an eye wit
ness to all that %transpired. DR.. Wine
coff is a scientist of international rep
utation, a remarkable mathematician
and a man of such character that his
veracity cannot be questioned.
In Cody over Sunday as the guest
of Dean Blaske, he was asked con-
corning the reports of those cures and
gave the following interview to the
Enterprise:
"The first and one of the two most
extraordinary cases of healing at Lar
annie was that of Father Mckay of
Buffalo, Wyoming.
"He has been deaf for years, so
deaf that he could only hear when one
shouted his loudest into an ACQUISITION
keyed to its highest pitch of
sound. Bishop Thomas is very fond
of him and although he is rs years
old, has sen him everywhere in the
hope of regaining some little of his
hearing. The best specialist in the
country told him that the organs were
gone, that his case was hopeless and
his hearing would become worse as
time went by.
at was at the afternoon session
when other matters were being dis
cussed that Father Mckay sitting
down at one end of the chancel an
nounced that he wanted to be cured
of his deafness.
There was present a clergyman
named Bell, from Denver, not at all
a brilliant man, just a good, average
intelligence and the same kind of an
education, but who has this particular
gift or power, call it what you will,
who has been doing some wonderful
things in Denver. He motioned Faith
err Mckay to come up to the chancel,
which he did, and knelt there.
"The clergyman touched his ears,
and said, not in a loud voice, the CON
trary Elm the name of Jesus of Naz-
areth-hear!"
"The old man looked up with a face
l shall never forget.
az hear he whispered, awe-strick-
en-.
at was all done quietly, so free
from sensationalism that few who
were present quite realized at the time
that they had witnessed a miracle.
This was late in the afternoon but
the story spread so that when the
meeting opened that evening there
vas a line of persons stretched all the
way across the chancel.

to pinch himself to be convinced that he is awake, when he is told
that Bishop Thomas OF Wyoming, and other Episcopal clergymen
of the state and elsewhere, are performing cures as wonderful as
the miracles of which the Bible tells and which have been the target
