Is 1t not logical to reason that the Dividend history of the last eleven months, as here presented, has had at least something to do with the develop fnent of the advance we have been wit hessing on the Stock exchange during he last month. As a matter of fact, Dividend election has in certain cases tesulted in doubling of the market value bf shares-Frisco common shares, for bxample, sold below 20 last month, con- 4rasted with better than $60 when the Dividend was announced last week. These facts should be taken into con- Liberation when attempting to arrive at conclusions as to what the stock mar xet may do during coming months. A rise such as has already taken place warrants caution, but just because the market has had a sharpe rise is no guarantee that it will not rise still Further if business and profits improve hnd many dividends are increased.

ATTENDS MEET
VIA AEROPLANE

1t took Walter Storrie of Casper
less than an hour and a half to
make the journey to the Cowboys
Alumni Roundup" at the State Uni
yersity last week. Storrie, a Uni
versity graduate Of the class of '13
made the most sensational arrival
of any of the 140 alumni attending
the annual University "Homecom-
ing" at Laramie. Storrie left Casper
at 500 on the morning of the first
day of the annual alumni reunion
and arrived in Laramie shortly be-
fore 1890. To quote an old Cow
boy grad of the COS: They used
to visit the old stamping grounds on
horseback and now they come by
acceptance"
The Homecoming at the University
last week was the most successful
in the history of the University. The
attendance was several times larger
than that of last year and alumni
stunts a holly contested ''soph-
frosh Olympic" an alumni banquet
and Il special luncheon at the Uni
versity Commons, were some of the
features of the Homecoming this
year.
Perhaps the outstanding feature of
the annual reunion was the confer
ence football game between the Cow
boys and Colorado University, last
years conference champs. More than
three thousand Wyoming fans watch
ed the Varsity hold a heavier and
more experienced eleven to a nothing
to nothing tie during the first half of
the game, only to lose 81 to 0 after
the Cowboys lost the services of Van
deveer. Captain, and Spears. Full

taken out late in the game on ac-
count of injuries.

Kill Mosquitoes Now

You recall the story of the
fisherman who. before leaving
home, always slipped bottle of
whisky in his pocket, for snake
bite" He took a little nip as he
left the house, another half way
to the creek. still another as he
baited his hook. and drained the
bottle before he got his first
bite
why wait to be bit before
taking the medicine" he said.
Take the liquor first. then when
Mr.. Snake comes along you are
all ready for him.
That's the way to fight ma
laria. Get the mosquito before
he gets you. After he has in
serted his bill in your skin, it's
too late to kill him.
With the spring rains we are
having, Misunderstanding mos
quitoes propagate rapidly. Al
ready the inspectors are find
ing 'wigglers" about in rain bar
rels, pools, tin cans, and other
places where water is allowed to
stand.
Begin the fight now, and
start in your own back yard.
Clean up every empty receptacle
that will hold water. Many
have accumulated during the
winter. Give the place a thor
ough raking over. Do not al
low the weeds to grow. Gather
