HENDRICKS APIARY
DESTROYED BY FIRE

A loss by fire estimated at around
$4,000 occurred at the ranch of
John Hendricks near Powell on,
Monday of last week, when his bee
supply store house and twenty
stands of bees were entirely de-
stroyed. Insurance to the amount
of $4,000 was written on the pro
perty.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Hendricks at the time was in
Casper and the fire had gained such
a Roadway before it was noticed
hat little or nothing was saved
The loss included about 5000
pounds of honey and $500 srpers,
together with a great deal of mis-
e~ellaneous equipment. Mr.. Hen

MASONIC LODGE LAYS
TWO CORNER STONES

The officers and members of Shu-

participated in the laying of two
corner stones on Saturday morning
of last week, first going to the Com

and then to the Buffalo Bill mem
orial where they placed the key
stone for the beautiful memorial.
The ritualistic work of Masonry
used with Chas. Gawthrop,
master of Shoshone Lodge, pre-
siding. 1t was impossible for the
Grand Master to be here at the
time and a dispensation was issued
to Mr.. Gawthrop, authorizing him
to o~fficiate.
Owing to the uncertainty of the
of the corner stone laying, very
few people attended the services at
the monument, but at the Upper
Sage building the people of the

FRED COE POST
MEMORIAL SERVICE

Friday, May 30 is Memorial
day and will be observed by
the closing of all business
houses and fitting services in
Cody. Everyone is urged to
participate in the honoring of
our soldier dead on that day
by attending the services.
Memorial day is a holiday
which was created shortly aft
ter the Civil war for the pur-
pose of honoring the memory
of those who died in the ser
vice of their country. The
following is an extract taken
from the first proclamation is
sued, setting forth May Both
as Memorial day.
I'VE should guard their
graves with sacred vigilance.
All that the concentrated
wealth and taste of the naticn
can add to their adOrnment
and security is but a fitting
tribute to the memory of our
slain defenders"
Due to the lapse of over
fifty years since the creation
of this holiday, there is an APP
parent. forgetfulness-. OF its
Significance or possibly a lack
of appreciation and under
standing of its true purpose.
1t is not a day of revelry or
rejoicing or celebration, or a
convenient holiday to go on a
vacation, but n time of rever-
ence, honor and respect to
dead comrades who made the
supreme sacrifice on the field
of battle in defense of the
country's honor and safety. 1t
is not i'm any manner a day
for the celebration of victory,
but a day to pay tribute to
those who gave their lives In
their country's service.
Bearing in mind the pur-
nose of this holiday and sig
nificance to all true Amer
leans, Memorial Day, 1924,
should be observed I'm the true

Neanderthal Teeth Found.
The event has proved that early
man Of the Neanderthal type-the for
bidding species which disappeared
from Europe long before the Ice Age
ended-had passed this way, and by
force or by his own free will did enter
Char Dalam, never to come out again.
Only two of his molar teeth have heen
found, but they are amply sufficient
for his recognition-they are fossil
lied to the same degree as the bones
Of extinct species Of elephant and hip-

race of men have such teeth ever been
seen except in the Neanderthal spes

The discovery was made in these
circumstances: Just before the war
broke out the British association un

Malta-particularly those of Char

on DR.. G. Despott. curator of the Nat

easing Cost Of TelephoI
Plant and Equipment
ONE of our big tasks today is to pro-
~ vide the plant and equipment necessary to
meet the demands of the people of Maryland for
more telephone service.
qEach telephone added to the system
the last five years the number of telephones
added in Maryland has been $4,000; an increase
of So per cent. But the increase in telephone
plant during the same period has been Ga per cent.
Thus, while the growth in telephones has been
large, it has been greatly exceeded by the increase
in plant.
qStated another way, the plant per
telephone in service in 1919 averaged $151.00
1t is now $4,000 and in 1928 it will be more
than $4,000 per telephone.
GYou ask why. 1t is because of the
present high cost of building plant first, to
tend the system, and, second to replace old plant
built at low pre-,xar COSTS with new plant built
at present-day COSTS
qThis process of extending and re-
placing plant and equipment is constantly going
on. 1t is part of this Company's obligation to
give service to the people of Maryland. But our
present rates were designed to yield return,
not on the average plant per telephone today,
but as it stood in 1920.
gilt takes more net earnings now to
pay a return the property than it did in
1920. This is one of the reasons why we must
ask for some moderate increases in our rates.
