AS DIRECTOR AND CASHIER
A. J. MARTIN BUYS IN

l.. X. Ewart has resigned as Presi-

have disposed of their interests in the
bank to Andrew ] Martin and Charles
E. Parker of Castana, Iowa.
The resignation of Mr.. Ewart will
take effect on May Is when the new

The present policy of the bank
The present policy of the bank,
that of careful conservative banking
in keeping with the needs of its pat
rons and for the best interest of the
community, will be continued.
l.. r. Ewart came to Cody from
Eustis, Nebraska about nine n ago
and Immediately assumed the presi-
dency of the First National Bank.
At that time the affairs of the in
stitution had just passed through a
period of unusual depression, but with
careful methods and n keen and alert
eye on the needs of the community,
as well as safeguarding the interests
of both the depositors and stockhold-
ers Mr.. Ewart has so successfully
directed the affairs of the bank that
today it is one of the foremost bank
ing institutions in the Big Horn Basin
Mr.. Ewart has made a thorough
and exhaustive study of the condi-
tons prevailing throughout the
country and is probably one of the
best informed men among banking
circles in the state.
Since coming to Wyoming MI.
Ewart has taken an active interest in
politics and has twice been honored
by the people of the country by being
elected rs a representative to the
State Legislature.
Up to the present time Mr.. Ewart
has made no definate plans for the
future, but it is to be hoped that
whatever business he engages in will
not necessitate his leaving Cody, as
it can i'll afford to lose n man of Mr..
Ewart's ability.

SHERIFF IRRIGATES
COURT HOUSE GROUND
WITH MOONSHINE

Visitors at the court house on Sat-
urday afternoon were witnesses to
the destruction of something over
twelve gallons of moonshine which
was poured upon the ground at the
southwest corner of the building
and for some time after the ceremony
anyone who happened in the vicinity
might imagine themselves in Peoria
Illinois in the pre-Volstead days, as
the air was filled with the scent of
ardent spirits. Acting under a court
order from Judge Metz, Sheriff Loom
is called in four witnesses, and the
stills of Pete Bloom, and James
Nolan as well as the liquor that was
liquor taken by him when he seized
found at the time of the Simington
arrest, was destroyed, and the stills
and coils were also mutilated and
destroyed so as to end their useful
ness in the making of the prohibited
spirits.

STAMPEDE
BUYS LONG HORNS
CARLOAD OF TEXAS CAT
TIE PURCHASED IN DEN
YER FOR WILD WEST
SHOW, JULY 3, 4, 5th

AS further proof that the Cody
Stampede is o a regular show, TAX
ing its place with Frontier Days and
Bozeman, the Committee now point
with pride to its latest acquisitions
carload of long-horned, wild-eyed
steers of every known color mad mark
ing, straight from Midland, Texas.
There is 81 head of them that look
like jackrabbits with horns on, and,
thin and leg-weary as they are, ready
to do battle with anybody.
They were bought in Denver on
Saturday, shipped out Sunday, and
are nov chewing Russell Cranes baled
hay over in the corrals across the
river, waiting for John kirkpatrick
to trail them out to n cattle paradise
in the foothills.
Owing to the fact that they arrived
in Denver late on Friday and there
was no market Saturday, and, in ad-
dition, were hard lockers from their
long journey and short feed this win
ter, they were purchased at a price
agreed to be a bargain by the stock
yard folk who took much interest in
the transaction.
They are long two year olds and
should fill out quickly and be ready
to take on all corners by July 3, a, 9th.
They were picked for their horns
from several carloads and it is hop
ed that the Stampede will be able to
hold them over for another season as
it is not likely, according to the COM
mission men, that cattle will be so
cheap next spring.
Anyhow, it is a big load off the
Stampede committee who have found
more difficulty in getting suitable
cattle than all the other troubles of
staging the show put together, and
the stockholders can write to their
friends that they are now in the cat
tie business.
What the Committee wants to
know now is, where will they get
horses to catch them?

TEACHER TELLS
OF WY0MING'S
AID FOR BACK
Ward CHILDREN
FROM 10 TO 20 PERCENT OF
STATES LITTLE ONES
NEED SPECIAL CLASSES,
SAYS MISS ELISE
SEYFARTH
ELISE sEYFARrH

Four years ago the Wyoming legis-
lature made it's first provision for
handicapped children by %appropriat-
ing the sum of $4,000 a year for two
years. The work was placed under
the Division of Special Glasses of the
State Department of Education. The
extensiveness of the problem was
evidently unknown when the appro-
priation was made. Recent study
shows that from 10 to % per cent of
all children are suffering from some
form of physical, mental or speech
handicap. There are crippled; the
diseased; the deaf and blind or parti-
ally so; the speech defective; the
mental defective; the psychopathic
and many others.
Time has proven that the most eff
fective and expedient way of provid-
ing adequate education and training
for the greater number of handicap
ped children is by means of special
classes.
Special classes for the training of
children suffering from defective
speech or from mental or physical
handicaps are encouraged by a small
state subsidy. In these classes all
children are given mental and physi-
cal examinations and training is pro-
vided according to individual needs.
Casper leads the state in its number
of special classes. During the past
year one or more special classes have
also been conducted in Buffalo, Lara
mic, Lander, Rawlins, Rock Springs,
Sheridan, Thermopolis and Worland.
Basin, Greybull and several other
towns are planning classes for the
coming year. Sheridan, Rock Springs
and Laramie have employed a ply
c%hologist to direct this work.
Due to the splendid Advancement
made along this line by some of the
larger cities, the State Special Class
Division is nov enabled to devote the
greater part of its time and money
to the work in the rural communities,
to especially difficult cases and to
general mental survey work.
In the rural communities, through

Real Polo Played At
Deer Creek Ranch

A bonefide polo game was played
at the Deer Creek Ranch last Sunday
to the great glee of many South Fork
natives who never had seen one of
these exciting events and cheered
loudly when Injun Joe Mathison was
cracked on the head and knocked
cold, which was looked upon as a just
punishment for dressing up like a
dude in white clothes, English boots,
polo helmet and disgracing himself
for all time by riding an English sad
die.
The players on the respective sides
were Alfred Hyde Clark, Tyler
Twadge Bronson, Barry Williams and
Freddie Sayles, Jack Forbes, Injun
Joe Mathison. The score was 6 to A
in favor of the Williams team. Maj
or Hemphill of the Valley Ranch act
ed as referee.
The western horses, though I'M
doubtedly astonished to find them
selves in shin boots and blankets, and
the objects of so much care and at
tention, took to the game and showed
nearly as much zest in chasing the
ball as if they were turning a cow
and otherwis demonstrating that they
have the savvy to make top polo
ponies with further training.

DISTINGUISHED COLO.
BISHOP TO VISIT CODY

The Right Reverend Fred Ingley
ID. d. Bishop of Colorado, will be the
special preacher at the Confirmation
service to be held at Christ Episcopal
Church on Thursday evening, May
10th Mt 500 p. NJ.
Bishop Ingley is said to be one of
the most forceful and eloquent speak
crs in the Episcopal Church, and
every address that he delivers carries
n message Of interest and benefit TO
his audience.
He is associated with a large num-
Der Of civic organizations in Colorado
and is also an officer and an active
member of the Denver Rotary Club.
1t is not often that the people of
Cody have an opportunity to hear an
address from n man of the brilliancy
and charm of Bishop Ingley, and it is
hoped that n large congregation will
attend the Confirmation services.

point.
Here are fat envelopes with bulle-
tins and what-not from educational
institutions. They arrive almost
daily, dull, voluminous, of no general
interest, but they must cost a large
sum annually to print and mail out
to the newspapers that seldom or
never publish them. Why should
they? AS We see it, these institu-
tons receive large appropriations
from the State and there is no reason
why they should ask charity from
newspapers depending upon the space
they have to sell to pay their bills
and keep things going.
Another one-a page of it-asking
us to tell the world why the Middle
West should have a water highway
to the sea. An association has been
formed to bring this about, with a
staff of writers to issue propaganda.
These writers are undoubtedly paid
for their services but the newspapers
are expected to print what they write,
gratis.
Another thriller of three closely
type written pages which we are Civ
en- the privilege of printing-an Eye

Another snappy article from a
Beekeepers Assn, more than a solid
typewriter page, is referred to by
the sender as a short squib".
And so on and so on, day after
day, but they're not talking to us,
any of 'em. If they would invest
some of the money in legitimate adj
vertising that they now spend in
stamps, paper and ink trying to slip
something over country editors they
would make considerably more head
way with the cause they wish to
further.

AGRICULTURE

The cooperative system as exempli-
fed in the Farm Bureau movement is
the most helpful and hopeful move
ment ever inaugurated to obtain JUS
tice for and improve the financial con-
dition of the farmers.
This statement, recently made by
the Chief Judge Of one of the South
ern states in upholding the contract
of another cooperative association,
tells the story of the Farm Bureau
together with it's almost limitless pos
sibilities in favor Of the farmers, and
it applies to Maryland just the same
as any other state in the union.
Cooperative marketing of farm
commodities, especially those products
which are of the greatest economic
value to the farmer such as wheat,
wool, live stock poultry and eggs,
sweet and white potatoes etc., is at
present occupying a large part of the
time of officials of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation and the
Maryland State Poultry Association.
It is the intention to get the sever
al marketing organizations in opera
ton at the earliest possible minute
and, if possible, in time for this years
crops. Surveys are now being made
OF the various commodities with this
end in view.
It will be we'll for the Farm Bureau
members to remember that the Farm
Bureau is strictly a service organiza-
ton and not a commercial enterprise.
It's chief aims are to help the farm
er through cooperative methods and
to help him standardize his product
with a view to securing sufficient
guarantee of quality which is always
necessary in order to demand the top
market price.
Of the several plans for marketing
Maryland farm products that are un-
der way, that of poultry and eggs are
probably farthest advanced at this
writing. M. Melvin Stewart, secre-
tary of the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation and others directly inter
ested in this work are working night
and day on the proposition and it is
not at all unlikely that an egg market

Neighbors frequently object to the
keeping of poultry in towns and cities,
most complaints being against the
>ociferous rooster and disagreeable
odors. In some cities and towns there
are regulations to prevent or control
poultry keeping, but the United States
Department Of Agriculture says that
the flock need not be nuisance. There
will be no annoyance from odors if the
dropping boards are cleaned daily
and the yards are kept reasonably
clean. There is no necessity for keep
ing a rooster unless the owner intends
to hatch chicks, and in that case the
rooster should be disposed Of as soon
as the hens have been set. A flock
without a male will produce just as
many eggs and, what is more, the
eggs will be infertile and will keep
better.

ing agency will be established in Bal
timore before the close Of the coming
summer with 100000 hens signed up
on the producing end.
Maryland also has much wealth
wrapped up in it's live stock possess
sions and plans are under way to
make "a survey Of the state that will
show exactly how many cattle, hogs
and sheep. are owned and from this
information plans will be formulated
looking to more effective system Of
cooperative marketing among farm
ers. An improved system of coopera-
tive purchasing of farm supplies is al
so engaging the attention Of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation.

The bumper crop of peaches and ap-
pies and all other fruit Washington
county will produce this year, accord
ing to present indications, passed thru
the May cold wave and snow Of the
first part of last week unscathed, de-
clare fruit growers and experts from
the Maryland University, who made
an inspection of the orchards.
A rising temperature has caused
fruit raisers throughout the fruit belt
to feel easier regarding the safety of
the crop, and they now believe that
the danger period has passed The
growers state that only the fruit in
the lowlands was in danger from frost
and the 36-degree temperature.
Growers expect to receive good
prices this year and recoup the heavy
losses they suffered as the result of
freezes in two successive years.
