In Ne1O York
Rv STEVE -HANNIGAN

m EW YORK, June 21-New
in York's gypsy colony is TAX
IL ing the road again. It is fol
lowing the sunshine trail Of the
open highway.
After wintering in the empty store
rooms of lower Fourth Ave. and
Avenue A along the waterfront, the
descendants Of Romany hit the trail
with the first breath Of summer.
Gay in garb and as picturesque
and mysterious as Of yore, the
gypsies form an interesting colony
in New York each winter.
Arranging vacant rooms Of any
type after the fashion Of the ancient
covered wagon, with colorful hang
ings. pots, pans and whatnot clut-
tered about walls and ceilings, they
pass the cold months.
Then men do nothing-as usual,
while the women tell fortunes for
the disturbed of New York.
Luxurious limousines line up be

extensively garmented women hear
] bLttl- lutUlE OiiNtAlCi
The gypsey women earn from $50
to 500 per day, reading the wrinkled
and bleached palms of gullible New
Workers.
| The gypsy travel season was de-
layad this year, not alone because of
the weather, but because business
was so good.
Gypsy men, known for centuries
as horse traders, have forsaken Old
Dobbin and gone in for more modern
| bartering. Starting their yearly pill
grimage back to nature II a ram
shackle automobile, they tra DE- their
mechanical steeds as many as TWEEN
~ times before they return to their
winter home in New York.
Two outstanding features Of q me
diocre boxing program the other eve
ming are unusual.
The only disturbance noted in the
audience was created by a woman
She was not satisfied with her ring
side vantage point and told the 49,
600 assembled people about It,
The other was that a fighter
named Clarence won.
An amateur artist with a sense Of
humor and few well-stroked crayon
lines created a laughable moment for
hundreds of passengers on a subur-
ban train this morning.
He changed the insipid face of a
collar ad model to a character Of
which any comic strip might we'll be
proud.
BY drawing horn-rinned spec
| tacles, a mustache in need of cultiva-
ton, and an upturned nose that only
a circus clown could tolerate, the art
list made an unconscious suggestion
that collar manufacturers could fol-
low to advantage.
Any body who could make a collar
that would offset the handicap the
artist gave this card model would be
accomplishing a noble act.

Tom Sims Says

A golf ball leaves the club head at
about 185 miles an hour. which is
about as fast as a golfer leaves the
Office.
Perhaps time really is money.
Anyway time is all some friends
spend.
Even If women do have more
sense than men. you never see a man
with about a million buttons on his
shirt.
As the candidate spreads his bunk
so he viii lie.
The height Of foolshness is on the
same level with the depths Of de
spair
People who think too much of
themselves do not think enough.
Trouble with knocking around the
world is 1t knocks you around in
stead.
They do not shake hands at all in
China, and not enough in America.
The biggest things in life are the
small things.
Baseball fans blow almost as much
as electric fans.
Many a garden plot has ceased to
be the land Of promise.
Absence Of winter makes the heart
grow fOnder.
It is hard to sing Home, Sweet
Home" in a rented house.
Since the first four years is sup
posed to form child's character We
can report there Will be no wild
man shortage.

Though the Bunker Hill monu-

WHEAT PRICES
MEAN MUCH TO
OUR FARMERS

. CHEYENNE, WYO., JULY az
Recently wheat has advanced upon
the Chicago and Winnipeg market
twenty to twenty-five cents per bush
ell. This is a jump that means a
big profit to- the American wheat
grower. Closing price in Chicago
for December wheat, July IA, was
S1.26. This big jump has undoubt-
eddy been brought about by the re-
ports of a very dry condition in the
Canadian wheat belt, and also by the
fact that we are now exporting large
quantities of that grain. The ex-
ports last week totaled 1,372,OOO
bushels against 100000 for the
previous week. This indicates that
the foreign market is growing strong
er, and that European countries are
more able to buy.
Some think that Wyoming is not
materially interested in wheat. We
have not been looked upon as a big
grain-growing state, but last year
we produced 2,7S5,000 bushels of
wheat. The late advance, upon this
quality of wheat. would mean more
than a half million dollars to the
farmers of Wyoming. In 1928 Wy
oming produced 10000 acres of
spring wheat and 5000 acres of
winter wheat. The per capita pro
duction was II 1-3 bushels, or APP
p~roXimately three times the average
per capita consumption in the United
States which means that we are ex-
porting large quantities of wheat.
Corn too has not been generally
known as a Wyoming crop. Last
year Wyoming produced 4,O50,O 900
bushels of corn. The recent rapid
rise in corn, applied to this yield,
would approximate a million dollars
to Wyoming farmers. We are ex-
porting corn that ought to be fed
to Wyoming hogs and steers The
time is right at hand when the stock
men of Wyoming should so adjust
their business as to finish their cat
tie before shipment, thus obtaining
the greatest weight and the highest
price.
The outlook for this veal is equal
ly bright. with Wyoming farmers
producing three times as much wheat
more corn, Jour OF five times as
much sugar, several times as much
honey as the people of the state use,
so there will be no hard times in the
rural districts. We might also add
that Wyoming is raising a large
portion of its fruits. ac0uple of hun
ly all of its butter and eggs. and a
great deal of its cheese. The argu-
ment with which to meet the calam-
ity bowler is to tell him to get to
work; that there is plenty to do.

Our IncorriyibIc Girls

Chapter 16 OF the session laws of
1928 provides for the location of a
Girls Industrial Institute. This To-
cation must be determined by a vote
of the people at the general election
to be held in November. The site
must be In good agricultural dis
trict, and only counties within the
State meeting this requirement are
eligible for this institution. Counties
may be nominated as candidates in
the manner provided by law the
nomination of candidates for public
Office. and a certificate must be filed
with the Secretary of State in the

for certificates of nomination of can

The purpose of this act is to pro
vide a place within the State for girls
who are offenders to such an ex-
tent that they are required to be
committed to an institution. Here
tofore such girls have been sent to
institutions in Colorado.
