WRITE THAT STORY FOR
THE HOME TOWN PAPER

The Letter Writing contest is go
ing even better than the most san
guine hopes of the Publicity COM
mittee of the Federated club. With
in h past week or ten days the
chairman of the committee has re-
ceived a large number of appeals
for assistance in the matter of pre-
pairing letters to be sent to the old
friends and neighbors back home.
He has e~ndeavored to promptly sup
ply the desired information about
the Big Horn Basin country in the
matter of figures and other infor-
nation in order to assist all who
sired to get up the n best letter.
While there are a great variety
of subjects upon which to write,
and most of them have been men
toned frequently, the committee has
Just learned an important point that
might well be featured in any letter
written, for it is outstanding. Re-
Gently the Chicago Tribune carried
IA story in its Sunday edition of a
choice tidbit which is being featured
by the Burlington diner service and
s produced in the Big Horn basin.
The name of this choice tidbit is
"Yama" and the supply is furnished
to the Burlington by Mr.. Robin
Bonwel1 of Basin. 1t is a vegetable
something like a sweet potato and
yet of the squash variety, and when
properly prepared is very toothsome.
Mr.. Bonwell has been propagating
this vegetable for some time and
during the past year secured the at
tention of the Burlington diner ser
vice by supplying them samples and
later landed a contract for supply
ing them for use out of Chicago.
h Burlington in it's advertising
is featuring the Big Horn Basin as
the place of production and Great
ing much favorable publicity for
this country thru this vegetable.
The fact hat a Cody dairyman
furnishes exclusively all the milk
for the Burlington Inn and diner
service on the outgoing trains dur
ing the tourist season might also
be featured to good advantage in
any letter written.
The great flow of the highest
gravity oil in the Rocky mountain
region struck at Lowell by the Stan
dard of California last week, might
be incorporated in your story about
the Big Horn basin.
The committee deems it advisable
to close the contest on the goth of
December and urges that all who
care to participate get their letters
written before that date. Remem-
Der that you may be the party who
will win that $40 cash for the best
letter.

BANKING LAWS ARE DIS
CUSSED AT CASPER MEET
Bankers will not Favor Bank Guar,
antee Law, but will Seek Leg
islation which will Protect
nonncffOr


State bank guarantee legislation
probably will be subInitted to the
next Wyoming legislature, but no
such recommendation will be made
by the legislative committee of the
Wyoming State Bankers association,
it was indicated at a meeting of
committee members on measures
which it will endorse. held in Cas-
per last week. Radical revision of
state bank laws is anticipated.
Guarantee laws have reacted to the
injury of depositors and banks alike
where they have been tried out, it
is claimed by the bankers.
In rewriting the banking laws
for Wyoming it will be the aim of
the state association to give better
protection to the depositor and
draft a measure that will come up
to present day needs. 1t is possible
that the creation of the office of
state bank commissioner will be en-
dorsed.
Members of the legislative COM
mittee who met in Casper include:
NJ. R. Collins, Douglas, chairman;
C. r. Massey, Sheridan; Victor
Fascinnelli, Rock Springs; ]. D.
