TRUEBL0OD AND
GREEVER TO
HEAD TICKETS
Picking up in City Election
and Two Tickets Placed in
the Field

With less than twenty days until
the city election, interest is being
taken in who will administrate the
affairs of Cody for the next two
years, with the result that today
there are two petitions being cir
culated with two full tickets named
for local honors.
DR.. r. C. Trueblood, mayor, and
Ned w. Frost and Chas. Stump,
councilmen, will be candidates for
reelection. The new ticket will
bear the names of Paul R. Greever
for mayor, with L. d. Wager and
Lloyd Buchanan as running mates
for positions on the council. The
men IN both of these tickets need
no Introduction to the voters of
Cody. They have all beef residents
for several years and have taken
more or les activity in the commun-
ity life of Cody. DR.. Trueblood has
served the town as chief executive
for the past two years while Mr..
Stump is just completing a four
year term as councilman. Mr.. Frost
was elected a year ago for a one
year term.

DOKIES WILL
MEET in CODY
ABBAS TEMPLE, ID. o. X. X, TO
HOLD CEREMONIAL HERE
MAY TWENTY-FOUR

Buffalo Bills town will be host
to the Knights of Khorassan, Abbas
Temple, Casper, Wyoming, on May
"a, at which time a ceremonial will
be held here for the initiation of a
large class of novices who will cross
the burning sands.
Members of Cody Lodge No. "a,
Knights of Pythias. are making
plans for the entertainment of sew
eral hundred Pythians at that time
and the business houses will be
asked to cooperate in showing these
men a good time while they are
here. The ceremonial will be held
OF Saturday and it is more than
likely that many of the visitors will
arrive in their own cars from both
Wyoming and Montana points to
participate in the big entertainment.
The local X. of p. band will furnish
no small part of the musical enter
tainment and the guests are to be
made acquainted with the Buffalo
Bill country in such a way that they
will come again. With the early
opening of Yellowstone park, it is
not at all impossible that the trip
to Cody can include a tour of Vel
lowstone.

finest musical events yet to be held
in Cody. AT the Methodist church
a fine program was arranged by
Mrs. w. A. Rodgers for the evening
service. The decorations at each of
the churches denoted a great deal
OF labor and ability. Mr.. and Mrs.
Phillips are responsible for the beau

Old Timer - Meet the
National Forest, Formerly
Known as Forest Reserve
Help Protect and Preserve Them!
(By Margaret Hayden)

Shoshone, the Forest Enchanting
Our W forest is outstanding as
a playground. Through it runs a
large part of THE Most Scenic
Seventy Miles in the World" the
slogan adopted by and gladly con-
coded to the eastern entrance.
People accustomed to nearness to
wild game have no concept of the
emotion upon seeing these creatures
for the first time, either singly or
in great natural herds in their ma
tive habitat. In the cities there is
a constant pageant of delighted
children around the Gagged animals
in the zoo, but this is not to be
compared with seeing one fawn or
a pair of cubs in their freedom.
Grazing fees and timber sales can
be computed to the fractional cent,
and made into a government report,
but the mental and spiritual health
and wealth to the one bested in
llfe's battles is beyond computation.
And this opportunity is Cody's pre-
eminent gift.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN ON In EARNEST
CODY HAS DRESS UP" APPEARANCE
Under Leadership J. N. Langworthy Town being
Raked and Cleaned from Street
to Alley

The people are doing the raking
UP and the city administration is
seeing that the debris is hauled
away, and the spirit of Cleanup
prevails which is bound to make
Cody as spick and span as it is pos
sible to do so. Even the weather
is cooperating with the local COM
mittee and the first three days of
the week have been such thai
nothing but the best of results could
maintain.
Chairman Langworthy is being
ably assisted by Messrs. Lowe and
Evans and representatives of prac-
tically every other organization in
Cody to the end that no corner of
the town will be overlooked in this
spring cleanup. Those owning mo-
tor trucks have generously placed
their machines at the disposal of
the committee and this morning the
piles of rock and debris were fast
disappearing from the thorofares of
the town.
The campaign will continue until
Saturday when a c%heck-up is to be
made by the officers of the town
and steps taken to clean up any
vacant lot overlooked during the
week, and those places which have
been neglected by those who should
clean them up. Mayor Trueblood
states hat the nuisance ordinance
will he enforced in cases whara oh
stinacy prevails.

Ten Million People Used the Ma.
tional Forests for Recreation
i'm 1925

Realizing that the city folks
cross the continent for the very
silence and earth contact of which
the city has deprived them, Cody
retains the naturalness to meet that
need. No hurdy-gurdy tortures the
stiffness of that Invest of all growth,
the forest. and the voice of the
fakir is not heard in the land.
Even the site for the monument
hat will commemorate the west
ward spirit is to remain "as it was
in the beginning" with it's sage
brush and cactus cover.

MUST SETTLE
ROAD PROBLEMS
RIGHT-OF-WAY MUST BE FORTH
COMING IF ROAD is TO
BE REPAIRED

If there is to be a good state
highway between Powell and Cody
the property owners to be served by
the highway must get together and
settle the right-of-way problem 50.
that the department can proceed
with the work, said John M. Snyder,
member of the state highway COM
mission while meeting with the Cody
club Monday at a directors meet
ing. While Mr.. Snyder said that
the funds were very low in the
highway treasury at the present
time, and that it might not be pos
sibIe to even contemplate the roa
improvement as outlined by the en-
gineers, the work certainly would
not to be thought of as long as there
was a controversy locally as to the
location of. the road.
With the loss of the Lower Sage
creek bridge several times in the
last two years, the idea of bridging
the creek at the old span is almost
given up, and the new bridge sIte
as recommended by the state en-
gineer would necessitate the loc1-
ton of the new road which would
follow the grade along under the
bench, and would be much straight
er and consequently shorter than
the road now in use. This is the
route which has been accommodates
by the department, and seems to
the engineers to be the most proc
teal and feasible route for the
Cody-Powell road. The new routs
would cave the present road at the
McGuffey corner and follow along
under the bench. crossing the creek
and rejoin the old road ear the
Hempstone corner.
Although Mr.. Snyder said that he
could make no promises for the
highway department it was very
possible that if the new project
could get the approval of the pro-
perty owners which it is to serve.
that the new bridge would be CON
structed in the neal future and tie
project carried through to compile
ton as o as funds will permit
While in Cody Mr.. Snyder, who
was accompanied by his brother.
Will Snyder of Lowell, made 4 trip
through the canyon and inspected
the projects under construction
there.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
BURLINGTON STATION

Improvements are going rapidly
forward at the Burlington station
and before the 1924 tourist crop
begins to arrive all will be in rea-
diness for it's reception. The old
depot besides being moved back sew
eral feet is being remodeled and
re-decorated and will present a very
pleasing appearance when finished.
A wide tile promenade or walk is
being laid in front of it. An arch
similar to that which welcomes you
at the Canyon hotel in the park is
being planned which will give the
Cody depot a rather distinguished
appearance.
Twenty-Five additional rooms are
being added to the hotel and the
dining room facilities are being i'm
proved upon to the end that better
service will be possible this year.

COOLIDGE FOR
RECREATION

President Coolidge says: "The physical vigor, moral
strength, and clean simplicity of mind of the American
people can be immeasurably furthered by the proper devel-
oped opportunities for the life in the open, afforded by our
word, the president has appointed a national policy commit
tee on out-of-door life. 1t consists of Secretary of War
Weeks, Secretary of the Interior Work, Secretary of Agr-
culture Wallace, Secretary of Commerce Hoover, and Assis-
tant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt.
The federal government is already engaged, through
many of the departments in the promotion of outdoor activ-
tiles. Public interest in the citizens military training camps
conducted by the war department is increasing. Tourist
travel through the national parks, supervised by the de-
partment of the interior, is growing every year. Campers
and mixers are offered special inducements in the national
forests under the department of agriculture. 1t lis the
desire of the president to coordinate all those and other
recreational facilities at the command of the national gov
eminent, and to form a national recreational policy that
states and private organizations may follow as a guide.

TWO BARRISTERS PASS
STATE EXAMINATIONS

'Myer Rankin of Cody and T. M.
Mckinney of Beaver were admitted
to the bar of Wyoming Wednesday
after having successfully passed a
stiff examination at Basin the week
before. The questions were hypo-
thetical in their nature and the an
swers drew out the ability of the
applicant to grasp the point of the
law and by argument present the
facts as he would to the court in
the trial of a case. Both men will
likely practice in the Big Horn

A Bit of Psychology

Why does every child and nearly
every grown-up love to go to the
woods? Why does every child love
to climb trees? Those who seek
the truth tell us that at n time
our ancestors lived in trees, or ran
to them to escape their enemies,
and perhaps that is the reason that
we feel safe and ecure and at home
in a tree or nea n that is not
too tall to climb.

In 1905, on account of technical
problems which the Interior de
partment felt to be outside their
province, forestry was transferred
to the Agricultural department, and
scientific forestry is being indicated
by the great congress of public
opinion. Forest resources are not
looked upon as reserves" for a
distant future; they are here to use
and the forest service is to see that
the greatest number of people have
an equal chance to use them.
We are cutting trees four times
as fast as we grow them, and forest
fires burn twice as much as is cut!
A ranger has said that of the
various fire risks that menace this
country, there are about one hun
dred and six million and one. The
one is lightning" This same rang
er believes in putting pep into pre-
vention and thus avoid suppression.
Eighty-five per cent of all forest fires
result from human carelessness.
Said Ranger Perry: There are rel
atively few people who will build
a fire on the floor of a public build
ing and go away and leave it. But
there are millions who do that very
thing to a public forest"
Should We Use Christmas Trees?
The state forester of Maryland.
through the medium of American
Forestry" has gone on record in no
indefinite terms as to the use of
Christmas trees, n whether this
use is detrimental to forestation.
Rather adopt the slogan "Trees for
Christmas trees as such, to satisfy
real need" OF the Shoshone filing
cabinet one-sixth is devoted to
fuses" of the forest-summer
homes, resorts, sawmills, pastures,
reservoirs, cabins and irrigation
bitches.
The use of the Christmas tree has
grown into the web and wool of
child life, and the efforts of senti-
mentalist and economist have only
furnished the impetus to grow more
trees rather than to deny to the
children, which has proved a slim
illus to forestry. This will mean, of
course, that scenic highways will
nod be denuded but that Christmas
cutting is becoming a legitimate bus
mess, handled for the greatest good
of all, and Christmas vandalism will
be succeeded by a rebirth of for
estry.

Water

Whence comes the first drop of
our great rivers? From the high
est leaf on the tallest tree on the
top-most mountain. Shall we have
charcoal mud-bed for the sources of
sweet waters? The forests get their
waters direct from the heavens.

The wild creatures gave their lives
that we may live. They can do
more for us now if we give it back
to them. Colonel Cody became Buff
alo Bill because of the buffalo meat
on the tin plates of railroad build
ers. A game lover has asked how
many of us 10, 900 900 people in
dulge in a good long think about
the pioneering part of the wild
game, and has proposed a mon
ument to the services of the white
tailed deer, the bison and the elk.
Until the women took up the
work of conservation, there was no
concerted civic beauty effort. Now
a chain of towns is realizing their
ugliness and using their God-given
heritage. A city beautiful makes
for the civic pride of youth, aetistic
instincts will respond, and such ap-
peal is always to the higher side
of mems natures.
Mrs. Florence Oskins, of the Cody
greenhouse, has first demonstrated
her ability as a grower of flowers,
and then has worked out and pre-
sented to Cody a plan for it's beau
tification.

JEWS IN PALESTINE
 RATE 25,OOO A YEAR

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.- In his report of Jews to Palestine at the rate of about 25,000 persons a year appears probable from the pace reached the last three months, when an average increase of more than g. 900 Jews per month occurred. The official report for September shows 1879 Jews entered the country, ex- clusively of possibly 1000 tourists, many of whom have come with the intention of remaining if conditions permit. Only eight Jewish settlers enligrated from Palestine during the month and twenty-one immigrants returned to their countries.
 A hindrance to the establishment of the Jewish National Home has 6een the fact that the Jews are out numbered by the Arabs about 5 to 1. The Zionists have maintained all along, however, hat if economic and political conditions would allow an immigration of about 25,O0O a year,
