CHRISTMAS TURKEYS
BRING RECORD PRICES

The Christmas shipment of turk
eys which leaves the Cody station
tomorrow morning will bring the
highest price ever paid to local
turkey growers, and the shipment
is to be by far the largest sent
out this season. No. 1 turkeys will
bring 39c per pound, the highest
price recorded as yet any place in
kthe state. and seconds will weigh
in at zoe per pound. Old toms will
bring 34c. The shipment goes to
an Omaha commission house.
Turkeys are being prepared for
shipment this week, and more than
two hundred of the fowls will be
dry picked at the local depot. This
is made. necessary, due to the fact
that many shippers are sending out
more turks than they can get ready
before the cars leave.
Although a great many of turk
eys were handled at the local de-
pot several years ago., when the
first cooperative shipment was made,
after learning the methods of dress
ing the fowls, most of the growers
prepare birds for shipment before
bringing them to town.

AS no enlightened modern COM

which has been organized along the
lines of the Southern California
Motor club. which needs no intro
duction, to the world and which
has been an important factor in
California touristry.
Already the State of Wyoming
has received a vast scope of ad-
vertising, Cody having the out
standing place on a folder issued
at the time of the completion of
the organization of the Motor club
at Mammoth Hotel. Yellowstone
Park in July.
Asked his views of the venture
the publicity director of the Park
replied: I'm surprised you haven
had one before,"
Not only is it n prime purpose
of this club to practice the amen
tiles of the road, and direct tour
lists to the place they wish to co."
but it will also participate in road
and touristry legislation.
The writer is spending part of

ROCKY MOUNTAIN ENTERTAIN
Frs TO APPEAR HERE
ON DECEMBER 10.

Frank Lozar Post No. 248.. of the
American Legion is fortunate in
securing the Rocky Mountain En-
tertainers to furnish music for
dance in this city on the evening of
Thursday, December 10, at the
Washington Auditorium.
The Rocky Mountain Entertain
ers, an exceptionally fine orchestra,
formerly associated with the K o A
Broadcasting Station of Denver.
Colorado have ever since the latter
part Of June been on tour of the
Middle Western States. Part of the
time this summer, Mankato, Mime
sofa, was the center of their en-
gagements as three nights regular
every week were booked at the
popular Mankato Pavilion. Early
this fall, headquarters were changed
to Minneapolis as it was then more
centrally located for tours scheduled
during the early winter months.
The first two weeks in December
have been retained for The Iron
Range and northern Minnesota and
Immediately following they return to
Denver to resume their engagement
at the Rendezvous Dancing Club.
The Entertainers have been gen.
eral favorites among radio fans all
over the country, and with but one
exception now consists of the same
six members as when organized six
years ago. You will readily UNDER
stand how possible in this length of
time it would be for any progress
sive orchestra to develop its dance
music, singing, and entertainment to
almost a point of perfection. The
originality and versatility of the
program appeals to even the most
discriminate of dance music critics
Always changing encores has a
tendency to keep the dancers curl
| osity ever on edge and eliminates
the common long and monotonous
dances.
This organization has played in
most of the larger cities throughout
the country, in addition to making
two tours to foreign countries, and
the last two years has played ex-
clusively in Denver. It's repertoire
and number of arrangements is un-
limited, each member being an art
list with unusual ability on several
instruments as well as being q train
ed vocalist. To hear this great
group of Jazz Artists is we'll worth
the price of admission, even to those
who do not dcnce.
