1.-THE Wyoming State University
has a great future, but the pheuon-
email growth and remarkable past
accomplishments Of this, the States
highest Institution OF learning. has
been too often overlooked" Is the
message brought 10 the Rawllns
| Lions Club and their guests by DR..
| A. G.. Crane, President of the State
University. in his address last Thurs
day noon. The story OF our Uni
versity as told by DR.. Crane was
based almost entirely on facts and
figures and was n complete revela-
ton to the fifty or more Rawlins
business men who had assembled
at the Lions nccr day luncheon.
II has long been the custom of the
majority of the representatives of
the Wyoming State University to
confine themselves to the future
possibilities of the great institution
they represented. Little has been
known Of the history OF the school
and practically nothing has been
told OF the many valuable fields Of
research which are being developed
today.
DR.. Crane in opening his address
last Thursday remarked on the pro-
gressive spiri; evidenced ut the var
ious business mems clubs ne had
attended since coming TO Rawlins
and stated that such spirit meant
more to n community than the re-
sources upon which II bases its
future. He said that he had known
OF neighboring cities OF unequal re-
sources and that he had watched
the city of least possibilities out
distance by far her more fortunate
sister. Rawlins. he said. had both
the and progressiveness
and he ventured the opinion that a
great future was in store for this
city.

ON BUFFALO STREET. WILL BUILD MOD
ERN Office and BANK BUILDING
Rawlins is to have a new business block.

Rawlins Is to have a new business block.
The first great step in the further expansion of the Rawlins
business district was taken this week when The First National
Bank of Rawins, through its agents, Messrs Dunlap and Dins-
more, purchased what is known as the Clause Corner, opposite
the Elks Home on Fourth Street and Buffalo. In purchasing
this corner the First National Bank becomes a pioneer in the
further development of the citys business section. The Banks
action is evidence that a group of well advised business men
see a great future for this town and that they realize that q
tremendous expansion in the down town district must be made
at once to meet the citys growth.
Although Rawlins has been steadily increasing in size for
a number of years past, the present developments throughout
this section of the County have made it imperative that action
be taken at once to handle the existing situation.
In purchasing the Clause Corner, the First National Bank
backs its belief that future business houses will be located to
a great extent to the north of Cedar Street and that the day

During those days Mrs. Nudge

She hoped earnestly that the girl
