ITS AN ILL WIND ETC"

We have read. somewhere, some
time, that old saying which goes
its an ill wind which don't blow
somebody some good" It's a true
saying, gentle reader. and further
more there amt nowhere it applies
more than right here in Rawlins.
In the first place we have the
wind-altho it can hardly ever be
described as i'll on the contrary our
wind is anything but sick, being
strong and robust like 1t is most
three hundred and sixty five days
of the year. Every year B. c. and
A. d.
Rawlins Boosters what tell the
world about IL many and various
resources. oily and otherwise, and
point out the fact that we have with
us the U. p. shops. main line trans
portation, (Which makes it so nice
for the travelling man), a gas com
pany, a refinery and a foundry, fail
to mention the breeze from the west.
We have heard a lot said about
Our Wind but have yet to hear it
thoroughly Observation-Disclosures not
in the presence of ladies'. This is a
mistake and goes to show that we
are dead on the job and don't know
a good thing when it hits us-like
it does somedays at about eighty
miles an hour Or is it a minute?
But to be more explicit-why not
work Radio ard wind together?
Radio is the coming means of
communication as a mayor found
out yhen he stuck h; uu:r against
a wireless trrnsmittef and invited
every radio fan who heard his voice
to send in a telegram collect. AS
there are only a few broadcasting
stations in this here state why not
put Rawlins on the map? Let's
erect a radio broadcasting station
on the summit of one of our nunier-
Gus hills and let the world know
that we are alive and kicking. When
we "a the world we know W. are
covering a lot of territory-but why
not? 1t has been estimated that a
message sent Il from the top Of
Monument Hill and REINFORCED by
n of our so-called ell Winds"
would be received at Paris, France,
before we could get a postal card
W to the Postoffice Citizens of
Rawlins. we say it again. let's put the
wind behind home town radio mes
sages and tell the world that we
are here.
We note a recent press dispatch
which states that a sculpture is suing
his landlady for 100000 damages.
which he alleges he suffered thru
improper storage of busts. masks.
etc. while he was away on his vaca-
ton. The landlady's name is
Evelene b. Poor-and probably she
will B, too. IL the suit is successful.
We always get a kick" out of
Caroline L%ockhart's Cody Enter
prise. Last week we found the fol-
lowing:
"Over in Greybull the Law in all

We are informed that along in
March and April the kids in Grey
bull begin playing marbles for keeps
and we hope that the Standard will
see to II that the Sheriff and Prose-
cutting Attorney do their duty and
the practice Is discontinued"
And while we are on the subject
OF law enforcement we cannot re-
frain from quoting a little paragraph
we noted in a recent exchange. II
runs as follows:
mo city in Wyoming has a more
alert police department (than ours).
Every place where liquor Is sold Is

anyone gcts a little top heavy he

taken TO Headquarters to hear that
