'ARmER prrMAN's PHILOSOPHY

After going through some of them
Western Slope apple orchards I've
,uit worryin' over why Adam ate
Ewes apple. 1t just goes to show
that the snake which tempted Eve
was up on what them highbrows now
adays calls psychology. reckon
there was plenty of other fruits and
vegetables in the Garden of Eden.
such as tomatoes, pluns, grapes, per-
simmins, ounces, and no market fur
any of it, but the snake picked on
big, red, juicy apple and dangled it
before Ewes eyes and she fell and ate
thereof and she gave Adam the core
and he ate what was left thereof, and
that's how this world got often the
track.
They is only one way of bringin'
back Paradise and that is to try the
rule that's used by them old time
homeopathic doctors. We used to
have one of them FUR our family, all
except my Dad. Dad said homopaths
was good fur children, but they
lidn't prescribe big enough doses fur
full grown man. He didn't say
doses of what.
Anyhow, them homopaths believes
that diseases is cured by administerin'
The same pizen which caused them.
On that theory, if eatin' apples
caused the fall of man, eatin' more
apples ought to restore him to his
original angel condition This here
may not be approved by the preach
ers but it won't do no harm to try,
because all other remedies seems to
fail. So Pm advocatin' as universal
cure fur Indigestion, under-nourish-
ment, overweight, lack of vitamines,
yrouchiness, either plain or purile,
rheumatism, human foot-and-mouth,
super-persnicketyness and all other
lis that flesh is heir to, apple eatin'
ike the old woman in the black al
>aca dress said: If an apple a day
teeps the doctor away what will two
apples do?

PRESS CLUB OFF
 TOFLYIvG START.
Reorganization Completed And First Banquet Held Fri
 day Night

Thirty or more members of the re. gently reoreanized Birmingham Press club were on hsnd Friday night for the organizations first banquet in the private dining room of the Hillman hotel and listened to interesting ad- dresses by Octavus Roy Cohen Judge H. B. Abernethy and several others.
 Mir. Cohen, who was unanimously elected a member of. the club, spoke of his early experiences in newspaper work and praised the spirit of newspaper men he had met in various parts of the country, especially those with whom he was associated while working as a re- porter on a Birmingham paper.
 There is something about news paper work that holds person long after he has left it and gone into some other kind of business,y' he said. II never feel quite so much at home as when smell printers ink and see copy paper lying around everywhere" 4s
 Judge SAbernethy, who was intro duced as the person responsible for more good newspaper Ecopy" than any one else in the city, described the men and women brought before him as judge of the court of misdemeanors with their quarrels and grievances. He also spoke in praise of the newspaper men, who from time to time during the past 25 years have been assigned to the court house ''beat.''
 "All human types come before us with their treubles," he continued, gamblers, thieves, men who will not support their wives and wives who say they can't live with their husbands, all come up sooner or later. We who see them day after day have. to learn to see the funny side of their cases, to keep them from making us sad..s I have my regular customers, just like the stores do. They come back time after time. Sometimes they get two or three trials behind, and have to work hard to catch up" ..t
 Leon Friedman of the Birmingham News spoke of the men who made the old Birmingham Press club and de- scribed the spirit of fraternalism that characterized them. He was followed by E. T. Leech Sof the Birmingham Post and>> Perkins Pruitt of the News, who urged the members of the new or ganization to work for a high standard of ethics that would prevent them from being under social or other obligations to any group that might use it as a means of furthering personal ambitions. Others who spoke included Jack Bethea of the Birmingham Post, Assistant Solicitor Frank Dixon, Mike Thomas, secretary to Octavus Roy Cohen; Pete Marzonie of the Birmingham News and Miss Frances Youngblood. 's
 The decorations, favors and bill of fare were all suggestive of newspaper office. Lewey Robinson, president of the club, was toastmaster. The enter tainment committee was composed of Lane Carter of the Birmingham News, chairman; Miss Jessica Ingram and Miss Helen Rubel of the Birmingham Post.
 A meeting of the club has been called for next Sunday afternoon in the Bir. mingham News building, beginning at 2:30 o'clock.

Republican Party Bases Claim for Election
1nnsHTr Upon Efficiency and Honesty in Office

has been a very active business man in the county for many
years, and is known for his executive ability and energy.
He has, at different time, has charge of road work in the
Powell section and his success has been noted by the county
commissioners. Mr.. Wright is seeking a new position. It
is a new departure all over the state. Just what results
will be obtained by the new order of things is very problem
atical, but if there is a man in the county who can success
fully fill the office, the Republicans think it is Col. Wright.
Howard F. Bell is again the candidate for the county
surveyor job, which he has filled so satisfactorily for sew
eral years. Mr.. Bell is closely in touch with the county
plats and road surveys, and is also a valuable man to the
county commissioners when they seek his advice regarding
matters pertaining to his office.
For county coroner John H. Vogel remains the choice
of the Republican party. His efficient and economical man.
agement of the affairs of his. office commends him to the
voters for reelection. o~
Last but not least of Republican officers is Chas. A.
Marston, who is seeking reelection as justice of the peace
in Cody. Mr.. Marston has held this office for several years
and his ability and honesty in office has never been ques-
toned. He is one of the old timers of the Basin country,
and his host of friends will see that he is retained in office.
Members of the G. O. P. party need make no apologies
for the men and women whose names appear on its ballot.
Each and every one of them will give one hundred cents on
the dollar in service to the county if chosen at the general
election November 4th. Promises are a fine thing. but
results are what the Republican party delivers in the adj
ministration of government affairs.
