Every American should not only own
a copy of this book but should see that
others have it. Not the wisest seer nor the
most optimistic dreamer among the found.

to predict the things that this book sets
forth. 1t is story of varied deeds more
marvellous than the wonder tales of the
ancients. 1t is a story whose astounding
facts stand out so boldly in the record of
the worlds progress, that the knowledge
of them cannot but increase the love and
honor we all have for our country.

The Panorama Camera.

resemblance ceases. In the ordinary

the whole arc of its field is covered
With the improved camera the
whole box moves A cog track. cir

Similar cogs on the under side OF the

wish to use The camera is driven
around the turntable by clockwork.

FRED WYCOFF RESIGNS
COUNTY ATTORNEY JOB
Hot Springs County Attorney Quits
Under Fire-Hands Resigna-
ton to Law Enforcement
Commissioner

According to NJ. C. Wachtel, state
law enforcement commissioner. Fred
Wycoff of Thermopolis has resigned
the county attorneys job in Hot
Springs county, personally handing
his resignation to the state officer
August 2Sth. Mr.. Wycoff had been
charged by Wachtel with drunken
ness in office and neglect of duties,
and had been summoned to Chey-
enne by Governor w. b. Ross tn
show cause why he should not be
removed from office.
The Supreme court in a decision
last week held that the law en-
towering the governor to remove
public officials was valid and con-
stitutional and as a result of this
decision, Wycoff's attorneys dropped
their suit which vas brought in an
effort to stay Wycoff's removal.
Governor Ross had set a date for
hearing on September 8, but Wy
coff's resignation removes the need
of this hearing.
The resignation winds up a long
series of charges, motions and infor-
nations. Closely related with the
Wycoff ease are several other
cases and suits. Wachtel was sued
for damages and a state agent now
is Il on heavy bonds on an assault
charge.

SPECIAL WYOMING PRODUCTS
EXHIBIT AT THE STATE FAIR
BOOSTS SALE AND CONSUMPTION

Wyoming is to have a rue ex-
hibit of what she produces and man
ufactures in a large building that
is being constructed for the purpose
on the state fair grounds at Doug
las. The Wyoming public will be
shown what the state of Wyoming
actually produces. To push the sale
and increase consumption of Wyo-
ming products to the exclusion of
all others will add hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to the
wealth of the state. This will also
prove to a lot of Wyoming people
that Wyoming's products excel all
others in a great many instances.
The Wyoming products exhibit
of the state fair will be brought
about as a result of the efforts put
forth by the Casper chamber OF
commerce and the Casper Lions
club. during the past two years. in
order to establish a greater sale of
Wyoming products on the Wyoming
market. During this time much has
been accomplished, however, the
biggest step taken in boosting home
industry was brought about by n
meeting at Casper which was he!.!
under the auspices of the Lions
club on August 27th. During THIS
meeting and the committee follow
ing, definite plans were outlined for
a true Wyoming product display at
the fair. The Wyoming Products
association has been organized. with
headquarters in Casper and it's mem
bership is being composed of cham-
bers of commerce, commercial clubs,
farmers organizations, Rotary, Lions
and Kiwanis clubs of the state.
Nearly a hundred individuals,
companies and corporations of the
state have already applied for space
in the Wyoming Products building.
All manufacturers of true Wyoming
products and all producers of stan
dardized farm products are eligible
to free space in the building. How
ever, it must be borne in mind that
this is not an industrial exhibit
that the sole object of the display
will be to boost Wyoming products.
Among those who have already
tE1> 'B'Stf ~ CAi
companies will probably put on the
biggest display of oil and oil pro-
ducts. Thousands of dollars will;
be spent on this exhibit. Forty-two
manufacturers will show Wyoming
folks how rapidly our great state is
developing into a m~anufactur. g
state. Agricultural organizations in
all parts of the state are planning
exhibits of certified seeds, honey.
graded eggs. dressed poultry, crelm-
cry products. etc.
All inquiries concerning the Wv
oming Products exhibit, or concern
ing any of the extensive plans which
are now being advanced to place
the sale of Wyoming products first
should be addressed to-Wyoming
