KEEP MONEY!
Home TRADE
MAIL ORDER HOUSES UNDER
MINE PROSPERITY OF THE
HOME COMMUNITY

Some men and women spend their
money away from home because they
think they are putting it into cir
culation."
They are sincere in their belief
that they are serving a real econ
omic person by taking the train or
their car periodically and buying
the things they need in some large
city near their home. An eloquent
stranger from the city. in the form
of a department store advertise
ment. or a mail order house catalog.
a explained the matter to them in
great detail and perhaps some logic.
In either case the advice never
from any fellow townsman of
theirs who has the interests of the
home town al heart.
That is a point to be remembered.
Coin Put Into Motion
1t is true that such buyers. by
carrying their money out of town
in person. or sending it out by
money order. are putting their
money into motion. That is one
step in the process of circulation
as 1t. is known by economists I'M
business men. The dictionary says
in defining circulation: Motion
around oil through something back
to the starting point"
Nothing comes back in the kind
of circulation they are trying to
put under way. Value received
would come back to the community
If it were the right kind of circuIa-
ton. That is the theory of all
sound business. Nothing must be
lost in the cycle. whether the re-
turn is in money or in kind.
The money or the purchasing
power hat is in a small community
is like the reservoir of water tina
is stored up behind a dam. The big
city market is the lowland into
which the river drains when the
gates are lifted. Every time some
member of the community carries
his money away. the water level is
lowered and the power that should
grind the corn is lost.

JACK PIERCE RETURNS
FROM SHRINE HOSPITAL

Jack Pierce, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gunnar Smith, arrived home last
week from the Shrine hospital at
Twin Cities, Mimi. where he has
been for three months and a half
receiving treatment for his limbs,
which were left in a crippled condi-
ton by an attack of i%nfantile par
alysis a few years ago. Mrs. Smith
state that his condition has been
greatly improved by the treatment
received, and it is the plan of the
surgeons to recall him to the hos
pital in a few months for further
treatment.
Jack states that the Shrine hos
pital is the real thing, and he is
one of its most enthusiastic boosters
since his stay there. When he went
to Twin Cities he was under the
impression that but one IF his feet
was crippled, out an examination
disclosed that the heavy service
which has been given his good limb
had all but broken down the good
one, and a great deal of work was
necessary to put the arch and foot
poSN III Il htaithy CohuitlOH.
A great deal of improvement is
noticeable in the paralyzed limb and
it is hoped that further treatment
will show greater results. Jack is
ten pounds heavier than when he
wen east and is in the best of
physical condition other than his old
injury. Although he was anxious
to see the home folks, he stated
that he was not at all anxious to
leave the Shrine hospital. There
are about sixty patients being cared
for there, both boys and girls, and
with the good wholesome food, re.
Sular hours and kindly supervision
they make the life there as pleasant
and interesting as 1t is possible &c
do so.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and Jacl
have asked The Herald to express
their sincere appreciation of the
great work which is being carried
on by the Mystic Shrine, and es.
pecially the interest which is beine
shown in their case.

JUDGE RINER SUSTAINS
SHERIFF In SERVICE CASE

Judge VIM. A. Riner ruled in ia
vor of Sheriff Henry Dahlem on
Friday in the case in which w. H.
LOOMS was attempting to establish
service on the Park county sheriff
in quo warranto proceedings which
he is instituting. Dahlem asked
for q special appearance hearing,
%contending hat he had not been le-
gally served by Coroner Tucker of
Powell, and p%etitioned the court for
relief.
Judge Riner ruled hat inasmuch
as there seemed to be considerable
doubt as to the legality of the ser
vice made by Tucker, that the pro-
per method of procedure would be
to grant Sheriff Dahlem relief, and
should LOOMS wish to persist in
his quo w%arranto proceedings, he
would have every opportunity to
make the proper service before the
case could be heard. Attorneys
Bronze and son of Basin appeared
for LOOMS. while Sheriff Dahlem is
represented by Attorneys Greever
and Goppert.
Should Loomis again start his
proceedings it will be necessary for
Judge Riner to return to Cody to
hear the case, as Loomis has OBJ
jected to Judge Metz sitting in the
case.

dairy troubles. Attorney j. Z. Nc
Elvain was making a plea to the
court when. without warning the
ceiling vas torn open, throwing two
by ten timbers 8 or 8 feet long
down into the room. and the weight
rod, bearing sixteen 50-lb. weights,
struck the floor just to the cas- of
the aisle, about midway down the
room After striking the floor and
crushing a big hole thru the floor
ing. the heavy weight rebounded
and rested across the center aisle
near the front row of seats. Mrs.
May was seated in the first seat on
the east side of room. removed just
two seats from where the weights
struck the floor.
Just what caused the accident. if
there was n other cause than the
wearing of the cable, will never be
known, but the break came just
as the clock was about to strike the
half hour after three and while
Chas. Blaine. the janitor at the court
house. was in the act OF winding the
big clock. The weights. due to the
winding. were well to the top, and
the cable which snapped showed ev-
idence of considerable wear.
Carpenters have been busy this

An accident SO serious in its por-
tent, and one which could have cas-
lily have killed several people and
wounded many others, occurred on
Saturday in the court room of the
Park county court house, in Cody.
and in which no one received any
serious injury whatsoever. The
heavy weights, which serve as pen
duIum for the huge clock in the
steeple of the court house. broke
loose from their cable, and the 500
pounds of steel weights came crash
ing down thru the ceiling. striking
the floor within a few feet of the
several people who were in the court
room. bringing CONSERVATION to all,
and slightly injuring Leonard Went
worth and Mrs. Ernest May. The
Wentworth boy, who vas struck by
a piece of timber broken from the
ceiling, received a light scalp wound,
and Mrs. May, who was the closest
to the point where the weight struck
the floor. had her glasses struck
from her face, and a severe blow
upon one of her wrists. Others in
the court room received scratches,
but nothing more serious.
Court was in session with Judge
Metz on the bench and a hearing
was being held regarding School

SEVERAL CODY YOUTHS TO
BE In COURT FOR THEFTS

The town and county officers
have been kept pretty busy for the
last few days by a small gang of
youngsters who have such taking
ways that a bit of property is not
safe when it comes within their
reach. Scores of thefts have been
reported, and the sheriff has finally
conferred his attentions on Woodrow
Clock, a youngster with more time
than he knows what to do with, and
who has developed into a petty thief.
Some time ago he. with an asso-
ciate, stole a iashlight, which the
sheriff finally got him to return,
and last wee he was caught in
the storehouse of the Banner store
helping himself to some OF the
stock there. Probably the most ser
ious theft which is charged to him.
and the one which will send him to
the reform school. is the theft of
a purse belonging to Mrs. Lawrence
containing ten dollars in
cash and some jewelry. Evidence
points toward the Clock boy as the
guilty party, but he shows no dis
position to return the stolen purse.
and is to be arraigned before Judge
Metz the latter part of the week.
There is altogether too much
thieving going on in Cody at the
present time, and from the value
and character of the articles taken.
it would seem to be the work of
young boys.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 10 TO

Judge Metz ruled on Saturday, at
School District 10, that the petitions
of this district were entitled to be
heard in court, and set Saturday,
August 22nd, as the date of the
hearing. when the entire matter will
be heard on it's merits.

ion has existed in this district ever
since the consolidation of the Grey

TAX SLIGHTLY HIGHER

With the total valuation of all the
taxable property in Park county

quarter of a million less than it was
in 1924, there is to be but a slight
increase in the county tax levy,
according to figures worked out by
the county commissioners, who were
in session last week. All of the
decrease in valuation is due to the
reduction made by the state board
of equalization in the tax schedules
of corporations such as oil compan-
les and coal interests operating in
this county. The total state and
county tax levy is .012697 mills,

NO FINAL DECISION
Thompson School Committee Re munerstion Case Went Over

January 2i, 1925. To the Putnam Patriot:
 Will you allow me space m your valuable paper for the following let ter:
 was much surprised to read in yes tarday's edition of The Patriot that Judge Malthie had rendered n deeis- ion in the Thompson school committee case while presiding over the last civil term of the Superior court in Putnam. Judge Maltbie did write a long and instructive epistle on the history of the rights of the people beginning with the landing Of the Pilgrims and end ing about ten years ago.
 The only decision he reached, how ever, was to adjourn the ease to tn next session of the Superios court pre- sided over by him.
 This was done to give opportunity for more evidence, f there was any. to be introduced before the court. lt seemed to be the desire of the court to find out if the majority of the peo. ] ule of the town of Thompson ever did vote Co pay or ever wanted to pay the sehszsl committee a salt1Fy.
 The ease. as pse-arrnnged. came up again before Judge Maltbie q few weeks ago at Niilimantic. But, as yes no d.ecision whatsoever has been rendered by the judge.
