Uncle Sam VIII Get
You-Can't Fool Him,
Says Income Tax Man

A procession of folks with their
faces screwed up in knots and carry
ing their income tax blanks filed in to
consult DR.. Louis Willard, income tax
specialist, during the three days he re-
ceived patients in the parlor of the
Irma Hotel. Some came out Smiling,
happy in the assurance that their
business affairs were not of a magni-
tude to warrant the payment of a tax
to the government, while others had
the burrows in their brow deepened by
the painful duty of "Doc" Willard to
convey the information that an OPP
Grafton separating them from their
money would be necessary.
"The trouble is" said the income
tax specialist, who is sympathetic and
u~nhardened by his calling, that peo-
pie do not keep records, or very in
complete ones They rely on their
cancelled checks to show what they
have expended, guess at figures and
trust to luck to get by somehow or
wish the job on their attorney or
banker.
There are many systems of book
keeping which they can get that
would greatly simplify the process of
making out income taxes if they
would use them. The government,
however, will make ~bookkeepers out
of everybody in business eventually.
at is useless for people to think
that they are such small potatoes that
the government won't check up on
them, for it will, and is, although it
has not yet gotten around to every
body"

SETTLERS DEMANDING
NEEDED ROAD Up the
CLhRKS FORK CANYON

Editor Enterprise: I surely agree
with Mr.. Evens of Sunlight that the
time is ripe and past due for a road
up Clarks Fork canyon. There is sew
eral good reasons for this road: First
The Sunlight people have only a
summer road over Dead Indian hill,
showed in all winter and too muddy
in the spring to get over until late.
The ranchers must lay in Il big supply
or pack it on horses over the Clarks
Fork trail. The Crandall Creek peo-
pie are also isolated from the world.
These people are all heavy taxpayers
and are entitled to a road that isn't
impossible half the year. The people
up there want cars the same as other
folks but pulling Dead Indian is al
most an impossibility, while a good
road up Clarks Fork can be made and
never showed in. Then there is the
natural a good road will
open up. The rich mines and a sui
phur mill could be put in there and
sulphur could be hauled out on trucks
profitably.
Enough timber could be sold out of
that country to pay for the road and
never miss it. Scenery? Well Clarks
Fork has got them all skinned!
The writer was at Cooke City last
summer when the dudes could hardly
be restrained from coming down
Clarks Fork.
The public demand for a road will
eventually get so strong that there
will be no getting around building a
road. Just think of Cook City with
over 800 patent claims right at our
door and not a road to it! Right now
the Western Power & Smelling Co.
incorporated for $4,000, 900 have their
smelter ready to work this summer.
The people of Park county could find
a market for lots of their products
at fancy prices if they had a road.
Can you show me any place in the
United States where such a condition
exists? l dare say not.
The Clark Fork, the Bennett Crew,
the Paint Creek, the Sunlight Greek
and the Crandall Creek people are all
willing to cooperate with the county
and forest service to put a road in
there.
A few years ago Bert Marvin, an
old-timer in Sunlight, took a paper
around to see if the people would help
them out. He wasn't long getting
$1,000 subscribed. Then it was re-
ported that the forest service and
county would build it. After that it
all went dead. There is many good
reasons why we should have a road up
Clarks Fork, but no good reason hat
! can see why we should not have one.
There is no finer place on earth for
dudes than Clarks Fork. 1t has good
water and fine climate and good fish
ing. Just tickles 'em all over.
If the county and forest service
wont help let's appoint a man with
tact and talent to solicit money
enough from the rich dudes that pass
through Cody next summer. They
say where there's a will there's a way.
Yours for road up Clarks Fork,
OLD-TIMER.

is where his house stands.
The other day we thought we saw a
new sheepherder's monument up on
one of the pinnacles of Dry Fork, but
when we got out our glasses we found
it was Mary Say looking down onto
Paint Creek.
Well things look encouraging. We
saw a washboard come by parcel post
the other day, coming for one of our
Paint Creek bachelors, and the tag
on the washboard said she would fol-
low soon. Allow US to congratulate
you Bak.
Speaking of congratulations we
have got them to hand to our school.
Iisten-The Paint Creek school was
the second of the rural schools of the
county in the average attained in mid
year examinations. Tell you we are
proud of school, the Riddles and
the teacher and we're getting ready
to give them nine rahs and a tiger
on the final examinations.

self as the mayor of Paint Creek and
thereby got an audience with the
Cody Club at the MONDAY luncheon
on the 18th. He grated for an hour
and a half-we mean a minute and a
half-on the condition of the roads
between Paint Creek and the county
seat. The road committee of the
Cody club volunteered to go before
the county commissioners jointly with
the committee from Paint Creek or
the Clark's Fork to try and secure
some relief from these everlasting
blockaded roads. Let's get off of the
see-saw neighbors, and pull together
for a little road improvement. Get
ready! Heave, no!

HONEY BETTER THAN
SUGAR FOR BAKING

The use of honey in baking is ad-
vocated by c. l.. Corkins, the state
entomologist at the College of Agri-
culture, who declares it superior to
sugar for that purpose. Mr.. Corkins
says:
If Johnny kicks about the cake be-
ing dried out, or you had to throw a
loaf of bread into the cake box to
keep pour pastry moist, just write
Mrs. Cecilia H, Hendricks, Powell, for
some Wyoming honey cake and cookie
recipes. For here's the secret, honey
used instead of sugar in baking holds
the moisture in the cakes and cookies
and they do not dry out. That 81
like it best when fresh" taste still
fingers after many days. Mrs. Hend-
ricks says that honey has a very de-
cided advantage especially for cakes
that are meant to be kept for some
ey keeps the cakes moist and they
ripen and improve with age. But that
doesn't mean that freshly baked hon
ey cakes are not better than those
with sugar. They are not only better
the first day, but also after several
days or weeks.
Mrs. Hendricks lists the following
principles of baking with honey,
which will give you the rules for the
substitution of honey in your favorite
recipes: First-In each cup of hon
ey, there is 4 cup of liquor. There
fore, cut down the amount of liquor
an ordinary recipe calls for by 4 cup
for each cup of honey used. Second
Wyoming honey is sweeter than sug-
ar. Use q as much. Third-A small
moun of soda should be used in all
honey baking to counteract the slight
acid content of the honey and make
it rise well. Fourth-When a cake is
made wit hall honey, the honey should
first be heated until it is quite hot,
but not boiling, the soda added and
the mixture beaten until it forms.
This gives a finer texture to the cake.
Fifth-It is impossible to make a per-
fectly white cake with honey. The
honey colors enough in baking to give
q caramel tint.
