YOUR FRANCHISE

November the fourth will soon be
here. On that day the citizens OF
this country will be called upon to
exercise their privilege OF balloting
for the express purpose OF placing
those men and women in offcie to
direct the destinies Of our govern
ment.
Thirty-four years ago Wyoming
ceased to exist rs n territory and be-
came n state. Equal suffrage has
always existed from hat time In our
fair State and so women. like men.
have always been able to cast their
ballot.

PTactlce mas started IN earnest ana
things look exceptionally bright for
another championship.
At the present writing there are
thirty candidates out for the team.
Nearly all of them have had con
siderable practice and experience at
n time or another SO the possibil-
ties of producing a smooth working
machine are infinite. If you haven't
been around to the gym to see the
boys practice just drop in some even
ing about seven o'clock and you
certainly Twill get an eye opener. They
are going after things in real earn
estness and fighting for a position.
Competition is stiff and that COM
bined with the prevailing good sport
manship and spirit that has always
been a feature of Parco's participa-
ton in sports is bound to win.
New equipment has been ordered
and should arrive here shortly. There
will be punching bags, boxing gloves
new b~asketballs, volley balls and
many other things too numerous to
mention. Membership cards are still
procurable and If you wish to get
in On some interesting things and
some of the best and cleanest amuse-
ment there is in existence at a min
imum cost 1t behooves you to see
some of the members Of the Assoca-
ton as soon as possible lest you
miss some of the good times.
Arrangements are being made for
a smoker which will take place in
the near future. There will be some
interesting bouts, wrestling matches
and various other sorts of entertain
ment. The date has not yet been
set but il you watch the paper care
fully you will get the latest informa-
ton as to what is going on.
In addition to all that, there is a
movement now on foot for the de-
velopment of a minstrel show. There
is considerable talent in Parco and
we are fortunate in having a few who
have been quite active in that par
ticular vocation In the past and are
undoubtedly well fitted to put some
thing in that order across.
The Association welcomes sugges-
lions for new and possible improve
ments from any who may be inter
ested in the welfare Of the organiza-
ton.
There will be meetings the first
and third Thursdays of every month.
II is to yonr advantage to be present
at all these meetings and keep up
with the activities Of this progress
sive organization.
Remember that basketball practice
is held every night with the excep-
ton OF dance nights: hat the place
Is the Parco Gymnasium and the
time seven o'clock: that there are
still opportunities for you to join
the Parco Athletic Association and
thus affiliate yourself with the most
progressive organization in Parco.
And last. but not least. VI want
your cooperation and support.

efficient n quick service of the
Parco Fire Department the probable
ity is that it would have resulted in
a serious loss. One of the pupils
who was in the building discovered
the blaze and notified Miss Lemen
who called the Fire Department. The
fire was quickly eXtinguished with
chemicals with a result that very
little damage was done. School was
resumed in the afternoon as usual.
h Fire Department Is to be com
mended upon their efficient service
and we feel that should Parco ever
be so unfortunate as to have a bad
fire we could depend upon them to
successfully combat it.

Producers
On Southern Tour

The famous Parco Music Producers
are now on a weeks tour OF southern
Wyoming and Northern Colorado.
Monday night they played in the
w. o. w. hall at Laramie to a large
crowd and Tuesday night in Chey-
enne they were given a rea welcome
at the COLISEUM. Their musical pro-
clivities cause them to produce those
tunes and melodies which one can
not resist. 1t is resulting in a con-
slant demand for their most excellent
services and so we shall be deprived
of their presence on Wednesday and
Saturday night this week.

There are rumors Of a big mas

Halloween Friday October the thirty

at this dance and 1t will be more

Confetti, paper hats, horns and var

We prefer to present
the unmounted diamond
to our patrons when pos
sible, for this good rca-
son:
A diamond unmount-
ed, just as received from
the lapidary, lends itself
to most thorough and
satisfactory examination.
You can place it under
the special microscope
here in our office and
minutely inspect every
detail. T he diamond
stands revealed = moth
ing can be concealed.
But. after a stone is
mounted. examination is
more difficult. The re-
{ Election of the holding
prongs or claws inter
feres with color determi-
nation. Bright metal
surfacing tends to mag
nifty size and augment
brilliance. Shadows and
false lights may cover
up flaws.
1t takes an expert to
accurately test the quail
jty and appraise the val
tie OF a mounted dia-
mond-and the general
public is not expert.
But anyone with nor
NAL vision can perceive
the perfections or imper-
fections of an unmount-
ed stone under the mi
croscope-after a briet,
preliminary explanation
by an experienced dia-
nOnd man.
And so we like to
show you and sell YOU
an unset diamond; To
point out its beauty and
perfections, or. if you are
in the market for an i'm
perfect stone. its imper-
fections. We want you
to know. beyond the
peradventure OF a doubt,
what YOU are getting.
Then. as an artist Sc
lects an appropriate
frame for his canvass,
we will help you select
a mounting that will
most fttingly enshrine
the diamond YOU have
purchased.
And, as we can mount
your diamond in twenty
minutes, right i'll our
own workrooms, t h e
time element is negligi-
Bile.
Incidentally, our stock
of mountings in white
gold, green gold, yellow
gold, platinum and gold
and all platinum. is large
and varied enough to
meet the most exacting
requirements.
