WHEN LOGIC VANISHES

1t isn't in accordance with human ma.
! ture for people to be consistently logical
The greatest handicap to the effort to
be so presents itself in perhaps the most
elusive form when death intervenes If
relevantly to change the course OF men ;
thoughts And human nature doesn't
seem 10 have undergone any great trans
formation since certain men became CON
spicuous figures in the Democratic party.
-Four years ago says dispatch from
Washington. "the Wilson stamp was a
liability" This means, of course, that
any political candidate who cspoused the
League of Nations project had to fight
against odds OF sentiment, conviction ard
reasoned Judgment.
But now. since Woodrow Wilson's
death, the dispatch reports. the Wilson
stamp" is regarded by Democratic lead
erS as an asset.
Why? What semb1ance OF logic could
there possibly be for such a reversal on
account OF an act of Providence: Let
every man search his own soul for j
tcnable answer, il he will but nowhere
in the realm of reason can even a plauSi-
bic answer be found.
Consider the sheer absurdity OF the
proposition: During his lifetime. while
he is able to retort to criticism. cause
to which a man deyotes himself is re-
garded as fallacious: he dies. and the
mere circumstance that his devotion to
that cause probably aggravated the
malades to which his death was direct
ly due is seized upon as a means OF
cfiecting direct reversal OF the original
Judgment concerning that cause. What
manner OF magic, what prescription OF
psychology. must a normally sane per-
son accept to bring about such change
of conviction: The inference he invites,
by submitting to such process, is that
he had been incapable OF a true. Just
judgment But Of course his reversed
Judgment, ii it be a product of the other
mans death alone, is really irrelevant
to cause, itself, for which that man
fought: it is merely sort of mental
reflex from old thoughts indefinitely as
sociated with that cause; for example.
thoughts of sympathy for one who has
courdgeously waged losing battle.
The human mind plays queer tricks
on itself. Politicians. we'll aware OF this
tendency. are reported to be determined
to include in the Democratic platform
a program which the American people.
in their sober, deliberate judgment. once
plainly rejected Since that time there
has been no development to cause the
American people to regret that rejection.
No such development in world affairs
had even been definitely alleged by pro-
ponents OF the League project. Yet the
sheer, irrelevant fact OF Woodrow VIII
sons death they are trying to interpret
as a vindication OF the policies which DIR
ing his lifetime were deemed wanting
in the basically sound craftsmanship
which in times of crisis has been the IN
failing protector of America.

without which Christmas would be
almost unthinkable.
At Denver, the head office of the
Rocky Mountain Forest Service, the
overnment policy is so well worked
out and observed hat they have a
slogan. Buy a tree with a tag" and
it is considered a matter of honor
to buy the tagged trees, which
means that they are cut according
to forestry principles.
Three thousand years before the
birth of Jesus. we first hear of a
tree taking part in festivities in De-
cember. These were the palm trees
of Egypt, which put out a leaf each
month. and the tree with its twelve
Leaves was looked upon as the sym
Dol of the completed year. So the
palm tree is thought to be the an
cestor of the Christmas tree of
The forest service hopes the
beauty and fragrance of the little
Christmas tree pines, spruce and fir
will awaken sparks of forest love
Iir the hearts of Cody children, ana
are glad this beautiful custom which
has grown into the web and wool
of child life is to be kept alive.

UNSOLICITED AID
NOT APPRECIATED

During the past few weeks the
Cody fire department has been
called out several times. At each of
the fires the truck has been loaded
with several enthusiastic fire fight
ers who are not members of the de-
|partment. The additional load en-
tailed by those men made the
handling of the truck a great deal
harder, and also retards the eff
cheney of the members of the de-
lpartment, each of whom has GER
tain duties to perform.
The department has asked the
Herald to make notice of the fact
that hereafter no passenger other
will be permitted on the truck. 1t
is not that the Cody firemen do not
appreciate the assistance which is
rendered by many other than mem
bers at a fire, but it is necessary
that certain rules regarding the
handling of the equipment be es-
tablished. Every able-bodied man,
Ia resident of Cody, is eligible to
membership in the department.
Another thing which al times may
save someone embarrassment is Civ
ing of wholesale advice by the by
ISLANDERS. Each n has a different
idea of combating the fire to that
of the fire chief and spreads his
knowledge as freely as though he
were paid for it. At times it has
seemed eXpedient for the boys to
turn a light stream of water on
some aspiring executive before he
can be relegated to the ranks.
What the members of the fire de-
partment wish to get to those who
would like to take part in the
fighting of fires is, that if they
would participate, join the depart
ment, and learn what they are to
do, rather than jumping in and
being the fifth wheel to the fire
fighting organization.

STATE POTATO SHOW
County Exhibits Capture Four First
Prizes, Six Seconds and Four
Thirds in State Competition

That no better potatoes are grown
anywhere than those which are pro-
duced within the Big Horn basin
and Park county was proven by the
competition at the state potato
show held recently at Casper, Wy
oming, at which time the exhibits
from this county took four first
prizes, six seconds and four thirds.
These IA prizes were won out of
20 exhibits which were sent to Cas-
per by r. ]. Allen, county agent.
last week.
The prizes as awarded to Parl;
county axhibits at Casper last week
were as follows:
Russet Rural Seed-First, Jesse

These were the first exhibits
which have ever been sent to the
state potato show and the growers
have a right to feel cry proud of
their achievements. R. ]. Allen
collected all of the exhibits SEM
to the show with the exception OF
the Harrison exhibit from Powell
which won first place in the Russet

WOMAN'S CLUB BAZAAR
AT THE IRMA THURSDAY

The Bazaar held on Thursday in
the dining room of the Irma hotel
proved to be the usual success of
these projects in Cody and many
organizations of the town cooper
ated to the end that the dining
room was filled to overlooking with
booths of things to sell. Fancy
work, plain sewing, baked goods,
novelty goods and art work made
up the list of things which yer
offered for sale.
Each of the churches of Cody
maintained a booth as did the
Camp Erie girls and the Woman's
club. Miss Olive Fell had probably
the prettiest and most artistic booth
of the bazaar. She offered for sale
her own products which were pref
tily displayed and marked their
maker an artist Of unusual ability.

MONTANA GIVES ELK
FIVE DAYS GRACE

The state game and fish commis-
sion of Montana took compassion
on the Yellowstone elk this year
hurried the closing date i've
days, granting the elk protection
after Monday, December Is. instead
of December 20. The slaughter this
in the vicinity of Gardiner and
Jardine is said to have been heavy.
where these noble creatures were
shot down as easily as domestic
cattle could be slaughtered.
The Billings Gazette, which seems
to have little hear for the wild lie
of the mountains, complacentfy
states hat even with the earlier
closing, it is likely thai all who
really wanted an elk had already
killed one before the closing date

The children of Cody are glad
to know that Uncle Sam is grow
ing Christmas trees-symbols of joy
all his millions of little chill
dren everywhere.
While the Christmas tree eel
ebrates the birthday of him who
dated our calendar, its use is COM
ing to mean the rebirth of forestry.
According to Supervisor Langworthy
only about one little tree in fifty
struggles up and into the sunlight
become a full grown tree. The
tiny trees grow so thickly, almost
like a lawn, and then each one be-
gins the struggle up into the sky
to become perhaps a Christmas tree,
or to make a box to hold 1t by the
chimney, or the boxes to bring the
gifts to hang upon 1t.
On account of the closed north
fork road this holiday season, Cody's
trees this year are cut from the
public domain, but next Christmas
an area will be designated and
trees a-plenty cut away back in the
forest where the scenic highway
beauty will not be marred, and the
trees will grow the better for the
cutting and thinning, and will not
need to S their energy in crowd

JAIL BREAKER Is
FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE

Two young men, Mike Finley and
Harold Barrows, are today fugitives
from justice as a result of their ac-
tivities on the night of the STAN
pede ball. Barrows was merely be-
ing held on a drunk and disorderly
charge, and therefore if apprehend-
ed would draw only a nominal fee,
while Finley should he be captured
must appear in the district court
to answer to the crime of having
broken the lock of the city jail,
thereby being a party to Jail de-
livery.
The rumpus started at the Quick
Lunch at an early hour Saturday
morning and Finley and Barrows
became so unruly that they were
taken in by the night marshall and
an effort made to put them in Jail,
Finley resisted the officer and got
away while Barrows was locked up.
While the marshal went in search
of Finley he slipped around to the
Jail and broke the lock, releasing
his partner and another party who
was being held on at attempted
horse stealing charge. The three
men have not been seen since the
Jail delivery.
Pete Osberg, who had also i'm
bibed too freely, was, a witness to
the delivery from the other cell.

at a dinner party given
Tuesday evening at the home of
their son, Gothard, and Mrs. Holm.
Many of the family were present at

seven children, is hat they all re

married and have families of their
own, and all but me-, the youngest
daughter, were here to help their

SCHOOL

The school at Lower Sage has not
been kept during the past two days
owing to the cold weather which

OH Tuesday morning, and again
on Wednesday morning, that it
would not be necessary for her to
come out to school on those two

Presto, change" and the balmy
weather of the past few weeks
changed to bitter cold on Monday.

cellar position about seventy de-
grees within a 24-hour period.
Monday morning dawned with the
wind still blowing from the west.
BY ten o'clock the wind had sub
sided and the breath of a bitter
cold wave was %crowding in on the
Cody section from the northeast.
and by evening the thermometer, in
stead of registering from 55 to 90
above the zero line, showed the
mercury showed into the cellar sew
eral points.
Monday night the mercury went
down to about twenty below, and
on Tuesday not far above the line.
Tuesday afternoon it again began
to lower and at 6 O'Clock registered
81 below, and at eight o'clock 25
below. The low temperature Tues
day night was % below zero.
Ample warning was received of
the threatened cold spell and il is
not likely that many stockmen were
caught unprepared. The stock gem
orally is in fine condition this win
ter, and will be able to Withstand
quite a siege of cold weather. How
ever, the frigid wave has put a
hump in the backs of the best CON
ditioned stock and it will take an
abundance of feed to keep them
warm during the ext few days.
