OF seventeen men working in Parco
all OF whom will mako this their

This consolidation OF the offices Of
the Producers and Refiners Corpor-
alton In Parco Is a very significant
move In oil circles OF this state. The
fact that this move Ia made, from
what has heretofore been the leading
oil center OF the state. Casper. to
Parco the sea OF tho newest OIL
Town In the country. Is evidence of
the tendency OF the oil companies to
concentrate on the direct control of
operations from a point which IL
more centrally located and which
possesses the advantages of railroad
facilities 10 any part OF the country
over n more direct route. That Car
bon county is fast becoming one OF
the leading oil centers in Wyoming
and that Parco IL here 10 stay.

cupied by the Parco Refinery up to

A THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
By the Governor

wa
To the People of Wyoming:
In compliance with a custom which is immemorial
and IN conformity to the proclamation of the President
!, l.. l.. Lucas, Acting Governor of Wyoming, do hereby
designate Thursday, November 81, 1924, as a day of
public thanksgiving and prayer.
The observance of Thanksgiving Day has from the
earliest tunes centered about the home. There can be
no sound lite of a state or nation unless the life of the
family be sound. If our immense and complex national
structure is not to dsintegrate by reason of its very
greatness, the strength of the material of its construction
must be maintained.
therefore urge that this Thanksgiving Day be
especially dedicated to the renewal and preservation of
the bonds of home life. Though the children of Wyoming
be widely scattered and the stress of present day exist
ence be severe on this great family festival, let the
hearth fires blaze with their former warmth, let them
again be the center of brightness, of instruction and of
good cheer, and in our family reunions let us, in these
days OF peace and righteousness, as did our forefathers
IN those days of hardship remember with grateful hearts
the Author of our blessings.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
Capitol in Cheyenne this 18th day of November in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred twenty

This plan was initiated at a meet
ing of woolgrowers and bankers from
all over Montana, which was held at
Helena, Mont, on November 18th.
At this conference the plan of the
National Wool Exchange was worked
out.
Last Saturday Mr.. Staff presented
this plan to the w~oolgrowers and the
bankers of Fremont county at n
meeting held at Lander. 1t was re-
ceived very enthusiastically there
and practically all Fremont county
sheep have been signed up.
The purpose OF this new company
is to act as n selling agency for
woolgrowers and the personnel of
the company Is composed entirely of
western men. The company will
have warehouse facilities and sales
headquarters at Boston. Mass.
At the meeting held here Tuesday
the movement was well received and
approximately 10000 sheep were
signed up at that time.
A committee comprising w. A.
Mckay, president OF the Carbon
County Woolgrowers Association. w.
w. Daley. secretary OF the Carbon
County Association. and Geo. A.
Bible. was appointed to sign up such
woolgrowers as we're unable I o be
at the meeting.
In the opinion OF western WOOL
growers this movement Is n OF the
most important steps ever taken in
the history OF the wool industry as
II will promote orderly marketing
wool. thereby obtaining for the
producer a fair market price for his
product and will also END to elimin-
ate tthe DISASTROUS effects of specu-
lative manipulation.
In addition to Carbon county wool
growers who attended the meeting

also represented M Hon. J. ID. Noblitt

A THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY the President

We approach that season of the year when it has
been the custom of the American people to give thanks
for the good fortune which the bounty of Providence,
through the generosity of nature, has visited upon them.
1t is altogether a good custom. 1t has the sanction of
antiquity and the admiration of our religious convictions.
In acknowledging the receipt of Divine favor, in con-
templating the blessings which have been bestowed upon
US we shall reveal the spiritual strength of the nation.
The nation has been marked by a continuation of
peace whereby our country has entered into a relation
ship of better understanding with all the other nations
of the earth. Ways have been revealed to us by which
we could perform very great service through giving of
friendly council, through the extension of financial
assistance and through the exercise of a spirit of neigh
borly kindness to less favored peoples. We should give
thanks for the power which has given into our keeping,
with which we have been able to render these services
to the rest OF mankind.
AT home we have continually had an improving state
OF the public health. The production Of our industries
has been large and our harvests have been bountiful.
We have been remarkably free from disorder and re-
markedly successful in all those pursuits which flourish
during a state Of domestic peace. An abundant prosper
ity has overspread the land. We shall do we'll to accept
all these favors and bounties with a becoming humility,
and dedicate them to the service of the righteous cause
of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. AS the nation
has %prospered, let all the people show that they are
worthy to prosper by rededicating America to the ser
vice of God and man.
Therefore, l, Calvin Coolidge, President of the
United States of America, hereby proclaim and fix
Thursday, the 9th day of November, as a day for ma
tional thanksgiving. l recommend that the people
affairs, and offer up their thanks for the goodness which
has been shown to them in such a multitude of ways.
Especially | urge them to supplicate the Throne of
trace tnat tney may gamer StrenStn from their tr1Dula-
tons, that they may gain humility from their victories,
that they may bear without complaining the burdens
that shall be placed upon them, and that they may be
increasingly worthy in all ways of the blessings that
shall come to them.
In witness thereof, 1 hereunto set my hand and
cause to be affixed the great seal Of the United States.
Done at the City of Washington this 9Th day of Novem-
Der, in the year of our Lord 1924, and of the independence

VACCINATION
IS CAUSE OF
COURT CASE

Recently a suit was brought nv
Mary Ruth Easter by her father. p.
w. Easter, against the Board of Ed
ucation, Supt. Coleman and the prin-
cipal of the South Side Ward. asking
a writ of mandamus compelling
the defendants to admit the Main,
tiff to school.
Judge Tidball has set December
the 18th as the date upon which
the defendants will be required to
appear In court and show cause why
such a writ should not be ssued.
Ihis case is started as a friendly
suit IN order to determine whether
the order Of the State Board of
Health requiring all children to be
V~accinated before they can attend
school is legal.
Under the Wyoming statute the
State Board Of Health is given auth
orlty to require vaccination of
school children before they can en-
ter school. Under such an order the
school officials of this district have
not permitted several Rawlins child
rem to enter school because they were
not vaccinated.
This matter has been decided in
District Court n a couple Wyoming
Districts but it has not heretofore
come up in this Judicial District.
1t is very probable that no difference
what Judge Tidball decides in this
case 1t viii! be appealed to the Su-
preme Court as both sides to the
controversy are anxious to see the
question settled finally.
