gasoline? When used in accordance

should not consume more gasoline
than will the present high-pressure
equipment
II. Are snubbers and shock absorb

dition becomes manifest at nigh
speeds. it can generally be renedled
by balancing the wheel assembly ana
making other minor adjustments.
l5 Is there really any advantage
in equipping small cars with ballooh
tires? Balloon tires are really ad-
vantageous on small cars. more so
than large cars, as they give the
smaller car the riding qualities or
much heavier ear with a long wheel
base.

loon tireso With balloon tires there
is less tendency to skid sidewise in
applying the brakes or in rounding
corners On snow and ice any tire is
likely to slip without chains.

PLATFORM OF THE COOPERATIVE
TICKET FOR SCHOOL ELECTION

AT a meeting of a number of Cody citizens on Monday night
to consider school matters and the coming election, the following
Platform o # declaration of principals wa adopted and c. R. Cobb
and w. b. Richards were unanimously selected as candidates for
members of the School Board at next Mondays election.
We believe in a closer cooperation between the pupils, faculty
directors, parents and the public at large, and to this end we believe
that the regular, as well as all other meetings of the schooboard
should be held in the school house and open to the public.
We believe in physical culture and development for all the pu-
pills of our school, and not for the members of the athletic teams
only. To accomplish this successfully, we believe that a competent
physical director should be employed for this special purpose, de-
voting his entire time t. it and, i'll addition, serving as coach in so
far IS this may be possible in conformity with the school laws and
the rules OF the Big Horn Basin Athletic Association. We believe
that the school board should be so instructed by the proper resolu-
ton 1t the next district meeting.
We believe that there should be an athletic association formed
to handle the various athletic matters pertaining to our schools and
that this body should be composed of representatives of the High
School, the various athletic teams, the board of directors, parents
and faculty, and that this organization or committee should formu-
late rules to govern athletics. We believe that the financial affairs
especially should be handled in a business-ike manner and that a
record should be kept of all receipts and disbursements, with re-
ceipts, and vouchers as is customary in the handling OF public funds.
We also believe that this committee should act IS a board Of
arbitration in matters pertaining to school athletics when there is
a difference of opinion, and that the decision of this board should
be binding upon all parties concerned

BALL
IS POPULAR AFFAIR

The Fisherman's Dance, given by
the Park County Rod and Gun Club
last Saturday at Sage Creek hall, was
well attended, and while the exact
net figures are not yet available, it
is believed that the club Melted a tidy
sum.
The action of the State Game and
Fish Commission will make it neces-
sary for the Club to alter their plans
to some extent, but the proceeds of
this dance will go to the planting of
what fish are at the hatchery and for
shipping in fish from the H~yattville
hatchery and from the Yellowstone
Park.
The gross proceeds of the affair
amounted to $4,000 but this sum will
be decreased by some minor expenses

VIM. ROBERTS WOULD
FAIN Be ELSEWHERE

William Roberts, the fourteen year
old boy who vas arrested last week
for the robbery of the Shelley Sad
dlery, seems to be tired of his new
boarding place and decided to make
a change last Sunday morning.
The Roberts boy, with two other
boys being held at the Court House,
was taking his meals at the home of
Sheriff Loomis, and while the lads
were eating breakfast Sunday, Mrs.
Loomis left the room for just a mo-
ment. Young Roberts figured that
his opportunity had come so he got
up from the table and left without
saying where he was going.
Upon Mrs. Loomis' return, the
alarm was given and a hot search was
instituted. The boy was found a few
hours later in a closet in the base
ment of the court house. 1t is be-
lieved that he planned to keep under
cover until night, and then execute
his escape.

TO MAKE GETAWAY
ON way TO CODY
YOUNG MAN WHO ROBBED
BENEFCTOR TIRES OF
SHERIFF,S COMPANY AND
LEAVES.

Sheriff w. H. Loomis returned or
Monday from Chicago where he had
gone after John Noonan, who was
wanted here for the theft of valu-
ables from the home of DIR. True
blood.
All went we'll on the homeward
journey until the train reached Eagle
Nest Station this side of Powell, when
Noonan apparently thought that he
had gone as far as he wanted to and
proceeded to act accordingly.
At this point he asked permission
to go to the toilet on the train, and
this being granted, he saw no reason
for not going a little further, so
opening the window he jumped out
to the ground and headed for the tall
timbers. Several passengers on the
train saw him jump, get up and run.
Mr.. Loomis had the train stopped
and started back in pursuit, but as
Noonan had quite a start it was no
easy matter to overtake him.
The sheriff sent word into Powell
to the deputy there, and in a short
time a posse of a dozen or more men
was engaged in the search. Tracks
were picked up at the edge of the
railroad track and We're easily fol-
lowed. Noonan was found after
about three hours search by DIR. Van
Heuser of Powell. He was hidden in
the brush along a canal.
Sheriff Loomis brought his captive
on into Cody, where he is now locked
up awaiting a hearing in court.
The diamond ring. which Noonan
stole from Miss Wilder at the True
blood home, was recovered from a
pawn broker in Denver and returned
to the owner.

had three ribs broken.
They were taken into Powell, where
their injuries were attended to and

DR.. IT,. HAMILTON OF
CREYBULL FOUND DEAD

DIR. Thomas F. Hamilton was found
shot to death in his home at Greybull
Friday morning by Town Marshal Ed
Cusack when he had gone to call the
doctor to attend his son who was in
the hospital conducted by DIR. Hamil-
ton.
The first time CuSack called he did
not see the Doctor as he was asleep
but was told that he would be over
shortly. After 80 minutes Cusack
went back, and this time found him
dead in his bed, shot in the left side
of the head near the top and well
back. The bullet had come out thru
the temple.
Five doctors who were called all
said it would have been impossible
for DR.. Hamilton to have shot him
self in this fashion.
1t is known that DR.. Hamilton had
received a threatening letter the day
previous to his murder and had con-
suited a lawyer as what to do. He was
advised to do nothing at that time
but TO take the matter up with the
post office authorities the next day
An investigation of his rooms after
the murder failed to find the letter.

A battalion of Boy Scouts, massed

honor in the crowd witnessing the
dedication of Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney's likeness of the Vests most
famous scout.
Perhaps never again will these boys
experience such a thrill as will sweep
through them when their gaze first
rests upon the amazingly life-like
Buffalo Bill and his mettlesome
mouth. Inspiration to be strong men
literally will surge into their hearts
at that awesome moment, there to
make its abiding place and mould
their futures. Providing that inspri-
alton, the great statue will be fulfill
ing in the fullest degree the ideal
of the Buffalo Bill American Associ-

perpetuated the spirit of the heroic
character of whom the statue is mem

for the event, one that is focusing

through the town %enroute westward
are expressing their intention to

A short time ago, Mr.. Teeters, my

amongst other places where he had

Mr.. Teeters found your cured meats
so attractive in quality and price that

use, but was told that for some reason
or other he could not sent it to wy

Now this seems to be such an abb

and so hard to believe, | thought If
true maybe you could tell me why it
is so.
We get fine fruit from Colorado;
we get cantaloupe and early vege-

can't we have those delicious hams
and bacon?
There, of course, must be a reason
why you won't sell to us, so please
tell me about it and maybe We can
