SERVICE URGES
FULLEST COOPERATION
In PROTECTING FORESTS

In view of the fact hat this is a
very dry and dangerous fire year,
j. N. Langworthy of the Shoshone
forest urges that every possible pre-
caution be taken to prevent fires on
the Shoshone and other national
forests.
If a neglected camp fire is found
put it out as soon as possible. If
a forest fire is found to be beyond
YOU control report it to the nearest
forest ranger and assist in it's sup
preston.
A cigar or cigaret stub is the
most dangerous enemy to the forest.
If dropped in dry humas. it some
times shoulders for several hours
before the smoke makes its appear
ance. BY this time the traveller is
many miles away and does not
realize he has started a large fire.
Therefore it is suggested that smok-
ing be dispensed with while travel
ing thru the forests. Smoke when
you get to camp where your stubs
can be tossed into the camp fire or
disposed of otherwise so there will
be absolutely no danger. You owe
these precautions to yourself as well
as to others in protecting human
lives and valuable property.

r~esentatives were in some way in
terested in oil. For instance, if
the girls father or brother is en-
ployed in the oil business, or she
herself works for an oil company.
But remember that connection
with the oil industry is not an es-
sential-beauty is.

National Event
The International Petroleum ex-
position is the great annual gather
ing of the petroleum and natural
gas industries. 1t will be attended
dustries from all parts of the United
States, as well as from foreign coun-
tries. Some 900 manufacturers of
oil and gas equipment already have
contracted for space in the indus
trial section of the exposition, while
historical and scientific exhibits are
being assembled from all parts of
the world.
Three days of the exposition will
be devoted to sessions of the petro-
leum industry, at which leaders of
the industry will gather to discuss
its problems. These congress ses-
sions, will be held October 6, 7 and
8. The first day of congress-, Oc-
tober s. also has been designated as
Governors Day, the chief executives
of the various petroleum and ma
tural gas producing states, along
with the princesses, being guests of
honor on that day. 1t will be on
this day also that the state build
ings will be christened by the prin-
cesses.
e. r. Mcintyre, general manager
of the exposition, estimates that APP
proximately 100000 persons will
visit the grounds during the ten
days of the big reunion. 1t will be
upon the princesses and their con-
test for the Queens gown that the
interest of this great throng will be
conferred.

Voting. popularity and subscrip-
ton contests are taboo-there will
be nothing of that kind, nothing
with strings attached.
After we locate Wyoming's beauty

ton at Tulsa, Oklahoma, October

trolia of Wyoming and may be
Queen Petrolia of the United States
if she is the "keenest'' among the
beauties representing the other on
states of the exposition. All of her
expenses - railroad and pullman
fares, meals and hotel bills-will
be paid.
On September 9 the Casper Trib-
une will put on its grand and gor-
geous wyoming Princess Petrolia
Ball" in that city. There will be
% girls as guests of honor at this
affair, every county represented, and
one of them will be selected by the
judges to be the young princess.
The girl from Park county will have
her round-trip railroad and pullman
ldie, hitdio dlu IOtti oili pdlu lol
by the Casper Tribune. She will
be permitted a two-day stay in Cas-
per at the Tribune's expense.
The Tribune has but one idea,
and that is to find the most beauti-
full girl in the state. Beauty will
count first, beauty will count sec
ond, beauty will count everything.
The county judges are therefore be-
ing asked not to choose favorites
unless, of course. they happen to be
the most beautiful. Naturally home
popularity will have no bearing here
in naming the princess.
Rules of Contest
Because of the determination to
have the right girl for Mornings
princess thumbs are down against
general voting and other similar
means of selection.
Here are the rules of the selec-
ton which are to be considered by
county judges.
Beauty is more than FACET is
face, figure, g~racefulness, poise, per-
~sonality and good, clean character.
Contestants are to be unmarried.
Because the choosing of the Wy
oming beauty is in a way connected
with the petroleum industry it would

N Spend a Day with Picnic,
Musical Program n
Speeches

= The 1924 Missouri Day celebration
was held Saturday at Powell and as
in former years the day was one
to be long remembered from the
standpoint of a real good time,
good fellowship and an opportunity
for renewing acquaintance with old
home friends from the SHOW me-
state. Earl Murray was chosen as
the new president of the club, to
succeed VIM. Loewer of Cody, who
has been al the head of the organ

was reelected secretary. The next
annual event will be held in Cody.
The program included many fine

part of the days program, when
several hundred people from all
over the country gathered around
the festive board and enjoyed the
spring fries and other delicacies
which were furnished by the best
cooks that even left the state of
Missouri.
The athletic events as usual
proved an interesting part of the
program. Elmer Gould won the
race for boys under IA years, with
Albert Lookhart second. Hazel
Winkleman took the lead in the
race for girls under IA years, with
Lorraine Conway second. .
In the mems race, 100 yards,
Wynn Clark proved to be the speed
lest entry. with Vernon vaught sec
end. Paul Winkleman got over the
line first in the sack race, followed
by Gerald Collins.
In the standing broad jump Ed
a Markly took first honors with
Hugh Cox a close second. Wynn
Clark and Vernon vaught won the.
three-legged race with Hugh Cox
and Edgar Markly as contestants.
In the candidates race, which was
the fun event of the athletic pro-
gram, Orilla Downing demonstrated
the speed of women candidates and
outstripped his opponents easily.
Col. j.. B. Wright won the booty
prize in this event, which prize was
strongly contested by several other
aspirants to office.
A pleasing part of the musical
program was a piano solo by Harold
a Horn and a violin solo by Mar
gerry Kinder.

GROUSE SEASON HAS
BEEN SHORTENED BY
STATE GAME OFFICIALS
Request of Game Wardens Over
State Result in Season Thirty
Days with Bag Limit of
Four Birds

The grouse season in the state
of Wyoming has beef shortened
from two months to one month and
the bag limit reduced from fifteen
to four birds, according to informa-
ton received by Game Warden r.
r. Rousseau by wire from the office
of the state game department at
Cheyenne.
The season.. according to the new
order of things, will open October
18th and will continue for thirty
days, or until November 18th. The
opening date was formerly Sep
tember 18th. Frank S. Smith, state
game warden, stated that the change
had been made in the law regarding
grouse due to petitions he had re-
ceived from the deputy game ward
ems over the state and from organ-
iZations interested in wild game and
fish. He said thai owing to the
backward season, that even though
conditions did not warrant the clos
ing or shortening of the rouse a
son, that the young birds were too
small to be hunted at this time, and
that by retarding the opening date
thirty days the wild fowl would be
much better protected.
The season on sage hens which
opened August LIST, will close Fri
day, h 18th. and it is very likely
that the birds will be given pro-
lection in 1925 and future years
At the present time the entire young
hatch of chickens are being killed
each season and a practical method
of solving this problem would be to
close the season at least every other
year.
