MUCH SENSE In
THIS NONSENSE

There was an old geezer,
And he had a lot of sense.
He started up a business
On a dollar eighty cents.
The dollar went for stock,
And the eighty for an ad.
That brought three lovely dollars
In a day. Ivy dad
Well, he bought more goods
And a little more space,
And he played that system
With a smile on his face.
The customers flocked
To his two by four,
And he soon had to hustle
For a regular store.
Ur on the squar
Where the people pass,
He grabbed up a corner
That was an plate glass.
He fixed up the windows
With the pest that he had,
And told all about it
In a half page ad.
He soon had them coming,
But he never. never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down
On his ads one bit.
And has kept things humping
In the town ever since,
And everyone calls him
The Merchant Prince"

FAUST PASSES-SPAN
OF ALMOST FIVE SCORE YEARS

In later years he moved to St.
Charles, Iowa, near where he
farmed with his IONS who had
grown to manhood. Later he went
westward to Seward, Nebraska,
Early in the nineties H. A. Thurs
ton, his son-in-law, n his sons
John. Cyrus and Will, moved to
Wyoming and located for a short
time at Lander. Mr.. Faust and his
wife at hat time went to Electric.
Montana, a small place near where
Gardiner now is. but they did not
like it and wanted to have the fam
lily together, so they decided on
the Big Horn basin and John, Cyrus
and Will and Mr.. Thurston, to-
gether with Mr.. and Mrs. Faust,
located near Otto, where they tool
up homesteads and embarked in
stock growing and farming. This
was in the year 1892, and since
that time they have lived on the
Greybull and in Meeteetse.
In 1902 Mr.. and Mrs. Faust
moved to Meeteetse where they
lived until 1910 when the latter
died. Mr.. Faust since that time
has lived with his daughter, Mrs.
H. A. Thurston, at the ranch home
on the Greybull, and for the past
year in Cody. Mr.. Faust delighted
in getting about and visiting with
old friends and with his car and
his daughter as chauffeur, he spent
his later years very pleasantly.
Was Prominent Mason
Grandpa Faust had the distinc-
ton of being the oldest member of
the Masonic lodge in the state, both
from point of age and of the length
of membership in the Institution
He was made a Mason at Freepurt
Illinois, in January. 1864. Later
he became very prominent in Ma
sonic work at st. Charles, Iowa.
where he helped organize Model
Lodge No. 315, A. F. G A. NJ. and
where he held his membership at
the time of his death. Model Lodge
celebrated its golden anniversary a
year g and requested the pres
ence of its Wyoming member, but
his health was such at that time
that he did not think he could make
the trip.
Mr.. Faust played a very irnpo--
tant part in the organization of the
first church in the Big Horn basin.
Through his efforts the Rev. l.. c..
Thompson, then doing circuit riding
service, came into the Basin and
made his home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Faust at Otto. He held services at
all points of the Basin, making the
trips with a saddle horse and pack
outfit.
Golden Anniversary
In the yea 1906 the Faust fam
lily all came to Meeteetse to be
with the old folks at their golden
wedding anniversary which was held
at the Henry Thurston ranch. Every
member of the family was there
at the time, having assembled at
the ranch of Will Faust on Sage
creek and rolling in to the Thurs
ton ranch in a six-horse coach on
the morning of the anniversary day.
This was a happy event for the
family of five children and their
parents were reunited on that ,.ay
for the first time in many years
Five Children Survive
Mr.. Faust is survived by i've
children. John Faust of Meetaetse,
Mrs. H. A. Thurston of Cody, Will
Faust of California, Alberto Faust
of Dillon, Montana, and Amanda
Martin of ColfaX, Washington. The
youngest son, Cyrus, was killed by
lightning shortly after coming to
the Big Horn basin, n the Young
est daughter, Elite, who became the
wife of DR.. P. w. Hale after her
arrival in Wyoming, died several
years ago.

The following verse IA handed in by a local poet and deals with
Big Store and its corps of efficient clerks:
THE CODY STORE PLUS ITS STAFF -
(By Biddy O'Rileyl

(By Biddy O'Riley)
One day 1 walked into the Cody Store.
A footman met me at the door.
Good morning, lady" 1 heard him say,
And Isn't this a wonderful day."
'Tis overhead, but not underfoot,
Say l as 1 turned to get a square look,
At the good looking things piled up there to eat.
Praties and onions, cabbage and beet.
Lettuce and radishes and spinach galore,
Carrots and turnips piled up on the floor.
There were cases and cases of eggs standing by,
1t was a great sight for anyone's eye.
Behind the counter were smiling boys,
Standing there waiting like Christmas toys.
Upstairs l saw Dinty and Grace,
And Colonel Melton filled a little space.
l saw all kinds of hardware from crowbars to tacks.
With Albert and Scotty right there on their tracks.
Then over in the gentlemen's aisle
Was Hammond with his genial smile.
I walked on til 1 came to the place
Where they sell shoes and dry goods and lace.
And who do you suppose smiled up in my face?
Why. Mrs. Darrah and dear little Grace.
or all the clerks you'll find anywhere
You could not beat this jolly pair.
1 looked around to see where Jake was
And there l found him playing jazz.
You're always sure when Jakes at nome
That you can get him on the phone
To correct any error or find anything
That you might need or maybe he'd sing
You a bit of jazz in the music nook
Or maybe a song from the "Singin' Book"
Anyway he's always on the works
To show you around and cheer up the clerks.
But leavin' all these jokes aside
NO matter how far you walk or ride.
You'll not find a nicer little store begorra
Unless it's down in old Missouri.

SOUND SENSE
COUZENS ASKS KRESGE TO PAY
LIVING WAGES
Suggests 1t Would Produce Better Re
suits Than Gathering Funds For
RESCUE Home"

Detroit-If you had a daughter
would you want her to work for 1882
a week? Senator Jim" Couzens
plunked that question to S. S. Kresge,
the e-and-Ten-C Cent Store mag
nate, and up to date Kresge has not
replied.
1t came about in this way. Kresge
and throughout the country. The
average wage paid Kresge's girl en-
ployes is $7.52 a week. Recently he
became interested in a rescue home
for unfortunate girls and he wrote
Couzens asking for $1,000 contribu-
ton.
Couzens came back with a check for
S2500 and with it he sent the follow
ing letter to Kresge:
II do not know whether you have
daughters, but | do know if you had
any you would not want to see them
working for $752 week. The report
which you gave me as to the wages
paid to the girls in the five and ten
cent store, Woodward and State,
shows the average wage received to
be S7.52 a week If that is the aver
age, what is the minimum? 1t is
really the minimum that counts, be-
cause the individual getting the mini
mum has to live just as well as the
girl who gets the maximum or aver
age.
"You say you try to get girls who
live with their parents and do not
have to pay for room and board, as do
a good many others who are other
wise employed. Just why should par
ents contribute to the support of their
daughters working in five and ten
cent stores? Just why should you
and your stockholders receive any
benefit by employing girls who live
at home?
,>r''The S. S. Kresge Co. makes lots
of money, otherwise it would not be
asking S265 share for common stock
and Sill for preferred stock. ]
would much prefer talking this over
with you than to write a letter, and
if you wish will come to your office
or you can come to mine, for | think
you can do much more for girls and
women by paying them better wages
than you can by subscribing $1,000 to
rescue them after they have gotten
into trouble.
II trust you will take this in the
proper spirit, as l am deeply inter
ested in the subject as anyone coulo
be. | do not want to criticise, but
want you to see the light, for I am
convinced when you do you will look
at the matter as / do"
The Republican machine would like
to beat Couzens for Senator in the
primaries which will be held Septem.
ber 9, but from present indications
he will win out handsomely.

DINNER PAIL EPICS
(By BILL LLOYD

These days, when there is murder
trials the daily papers fill their files
with lots of dizzy-written features
about the doings of those creatures
who like to risk their pesky necks by
making folks pass in their checks.
The funniest features in the lists is
those about these alienists, the men
who probe inside your skull to see If
YOU are smart or dull, who measure
down to minute fractions the jumps
and jerks of your reactions, who have
YOU tell about your dreams to see II
things amt what they seems, who put
contraptions on your wrist to find If
you've mental twist, who never hes
itate to AK if you recall prenatal facts
and ak you in a way informal If your
sex life is strictly normal; and if it
amt, which you prefer, a female him
or manlike her.
Some murderer has got his man.
The state would hang him if it can.
Defense attorneys wanta save the fel-
on from an early grave. Two sets
of alienists appear to look into the
mental gear. The state pays some;
defense, the other. They don't show
any love, like brothers.
The state-paid alienists will say the
murderer's mind is clear as day. They
swear in court beyond a doubt the
man knew what he wuz about. Then
taking the same set of facts defend
ants lawyers calmly ak the alienists
that they is paying if other side
knows what it's saving.
This second set of alienists will
swear with pounding of the fists the
man has paranoid delusions, hallucin
ations, and illusions, his glands is in
awful fix, his nervous systems in
a mix, he's in an adolescent state be-
cause some things arrived too late,
his sex life sure has all gone wrong,
because he loved two girls too long
The poor cuss really mustn't die be-
cause one shoulder blade is high. He
is so cracked beneath the lid, he
didn't know just what he did.
When each set sed the other lied,
they drew their pay and step aside.
And having listened long and well,
the jury needs a padded cell.
Court is adjourned.

The 100000 was intended to de-
fray expenses of legal work in con-
nection with prosecutions growing out
of the senate oil lease Investigations.
Directors to the senate probe insist
