PARK COUNTY WILL
EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR

A committee composed of R. j.
Allen, o. p. Roberts and c.. NJ. Cox
is putting forth every effort to
gather an exhibit of agricultural
products from the west end of the
county to send to Douglas to the
state fair. They report splendid pro-
gress so far as grasses and grains
are concerned. During the last
week of the drive, however, they
are asking the cooperation of farm
mers and townspeople who have
good garden and fruit products to
report the same to the committee.
The fair dates are September 16 to
10. All exhibits will have to be in
by September ~.
A committee is working at Pow
ell also. The products collected by
the two committees will make up
the county exhibit. The exhibit will
be composed of grains, forage, veg
etables, fruit and apiary products.
The Farm bureau, the Cody club
and the Powell chamber of com
merce are each furnishing 500 to
help bear the expense of sending
the county exhibit.

FIRE In PARK
NOW UNDER CONTROL

No fires have been reported the
past week from the Shoshone forest.
A large fire is burning in the
southern end of Yellowstone park.
This fire is being fought by a large
force of men.
The fire situation is serious. The
prolonged drouth has made the tim
Der as dry as finder. Large areas
within the national forests are be-
ing closed to travel in an endeavor
to reduce the number of fires due
to carelessness. AS a of
protective cooperation the Burling-
ton and other railroads are CARRYING
fire slogans on their time tables and
folders.

TAGGART STEAM SHOVEL
BURNS TUESDAY NIGHT

The Taggart Construction has had
part of its works brought to a
standstill by the burning on Tues
day night of the cab on its steam
shovel which is working on the
road in Shoshone canyon. No idea
of how the fire may have started is
entertained by the officers of the
company. They hope to be able to
resume work in a few days.
Mr.. Taggart states hal on Tues
day evening the operator ceased his
work as usual and everything was
left in good shape. Later in the
ev ening a load of coal was taken
to the scene of activities in the can
yon and at nine o'clock all was
well. This morning the engineer
when he went to work found the
cab burned away completely. me
damage, although slight, is covered
by insurance.

president, sis not devoted altogether

hope to find somebody they can

Can America pay for the public

heart of its highest representative.
There are three kinds of les
a Doctor Crane, white, black
and statistics" He then entered a
plea for the study of school finance
es on the part of everybody engaged
in public school business, because
they are constantly under fire. There
is no closed season on school teach
ers. superintendent, and finances,
and they shoot from back or front
always open season. Appeal was
made to the public school emissaries
present to represent fairly the pub
lie school system and to be alert
in correcting concepts as
to distribution of taxes and other
matters vital to intelligent school
management. America can finance
the public schools if she wants to,
at SIS a head, and there is no 9Th

to democracy" said the speaker.
1.-The only limit is what they want
and what they are willing to pay
for" President Cranes closing
message to the teachers was to
make the public schools so good,
their service SO valuable, to demon
strate their worth so clearly to the
American people, that they will
want better and more public
schools.

In readiness for the opening OF
faculty has already assembled in
Cody and is in attendance at the
institute. With but one or two ex-
ceptions the teachers have all spent
their vacations in other states and
return to Cody after a three months
siasm which will do much toward
making this term of the Cody
schools the best in the history of
the town. There have been but
two additions to the high scncol
faculty. and but one in the grades,
all of the instructors who were here
last year returning with the ex-
ception of Miss Erma Dragoo and

greater part of his summer vaca-
ton in Buffalo, where he and his

background of three successful
teaching years in the junior high
at Des Moines, Iowa. She will be
the English instructor in the high
school.
Miss Ruth Blanshan will do her
second ear in Cody teaching home
economics. Through changes which
have been made in the high school
more room is to be available for
the teaching of this subject and the
new order of things will be a de-
cided improvement to this depart
ment. Miss Blanshan, after a visit
with home folks in Iowa, spent her
vacation in Yellowstone park.
Miss Marion Finch is here again
and will teach normal training and
French. She has been in attendance
at the normal training conference
at Laramie and arrived in Cody
yesterday. Miss Finch has been at
her old home, Fayette. Iowa, dur,
ing the vacation period.
We would not fail to mention O..
p. Roberts, although he has been
busy with his agricultural work.
throughout the summe months and
has enjoyed but a short vacation.
Mr.. Roberts spent last week at the
agricultural conference at Laramie I
and is very enthusiastic about his
work with the boys of his class this
term. He is the Smith-Hughes
man in the high school faculty and

rection in the school. During the
past few weeks he has been taking
special musical work at the state
university at Laramie.
Science his year will be taught

the new members of the high school
faculty. Mr.. Grossman is a gra-
duate of the University of Okla

recommended as a man and i%nstruc-
tor. Mr.. Grossman will also assist
in coaching athletics.
The departmental work in the
Junior high school will be handled
by the Misses Louise Filing, Win
fired Mcbride and Manila Hanson.

THREE FIRE CALLS In
ROW KEEP FIREMEN BUSY
Fire Jinx After Fire Ladies' and
Keeps them on Run

During the past week the Cody
Fire department has received three
fire calls, but fortunately none of
the CONGREGATIONS reached the stage
where a great deal of damage was
done. In each instance the fire
calls were quickly and efficiently
responded to and the equipment
which has been furnished the fire
boys proved its worth in permitting
the fires to be extinguished with
the greatest possible dispatch.
Laundry Engine Room Burns
On Saturday morning at about
$50 o'clock the engine room at the
Cody laundry burst into flame and
was practically burned to the
ground. The department responded
to the call and had the fire under
control within a few minutes. The
engine room, which was a lean-to
to the brick building, was of frame
construction and the loss was very
light. Had the fire had but a few
minutes more it would have burned
thru the door to the main building
and Mr.. Cook states the loss would
have been very heavy inasmuch as
the lint on the walls would have
spread the fire in the laundry very
rapidly.
Fire i'm ITma
A call Sunday morning at about
400 O'Clock got the fire depart
ment out to extinguish a small
blaze which had originated in a
pile of rubbish in a room adjacent
to Patchell's billiard parlor. The
damage at this fire was very light
as the fire was detected before any
considerable damage had been done.
Bill Loewer Gets Singed
Billy Loewer, Cody's tailor and
cleaner, got his whiskers singe,t
and suffered some burns on
the hands and arms when a tuD
of gasoline took fire Tuesday fore
noon while he was washing a heavy
wooden skirt. The fire, which start
ed in Loewer's wash room, was eX-
tinguished when he threw a heavy
blanket over the flaming gasoline.
Mr.. Loewer's theory is that the
fire was started by static caused
during the washing of the heavy
wooden garment. His presence of
mind is all that saved him a heavy
loss in his establishment.

Miss Filing has spent the summer

strong and she spent the summer
il the park with her chum, Miss
Blanshan.

as yet been selected and Miss
Martha Nuckols will have the first
grade for another year. Miss Muck
OILS is a decided success in her

derful start under her supervision.

garten course.
