SHOP EARLY IN CODY

1t is perhaps a little too early to adopt resolutions governing
personal conduct for 1926, but is is timely to resolve to do YOUR

year are the stores more attractive, so we'll and completely
stocked with new merchandise and sc humanity interesting.
This time of the year the mel folks don't wait outside while the
wife is inside doing the buying.
1t has never been proved that the mail order houses and
out-of-town stores have more merchandise and lower prices to
offer than the hometown stores, and there is reason to believe
that now as the Christmas shopping period begins the home
town stores are equipped with everything desirable and obtain
able for gifts.
There is one privilege and convenience offered to the public
by the earlier Christmas shopping season which has been
overlooked: With the Christmas stocks on display six weeks be-

they would make their selections from the mailorder catalop
The public is now buying at home for Christmas. resorting to

1t is a matter for congratulation
that Cody people are learning to
put their earnings back into their
business instead of giving them to
f~ly-by-night outfits that come in
here from outside towns and try
to sell stock in questionable or
mythical enterprises. This was evil
denced this week by the fact that
the outfit of crooks who have been
in here for the past month trying
to sell blue sky to people had sc
little success that they had to wire
for money to get out of town with.
Cody people have been hooked so
often in the past by bogus stock
selling schemes that they are get
who have the welfare of the COM
munity at heart hope that the time
is near when it will be impossible
for anyone to sell any kind of stock
in Cody. There are plenty of sound
and profitable stocks on the mark
ct that may be bought through
licensed and reliable bond houses,
if one has the money to buy them
with, but these stocks are never
peddled around the country by
seedy individuals who smell of
m~oonshine. They are only to be
had in respectable places where
the customer comes looking for the
stock. not the stock out in the
country looking for the customer.
Let's all keep our wits about us,
and the text time any one offers
us a plot of blue sky for our saw
ings, just run him clear out of the
country before he has a chance to
deceive any poor working man or
farmer who needs his money for
his business or his family.

BUREAUS TO BE ABOLISHED

A movement will be inaugurated at the opening of Con-
gress to pass some measure that will place the administration of
many OF the commissions and Independent bureaus in existence
under the control of cabinet officers, subject, of course. to the
supervision of the president.
1t is known that President Coolidge favored a system along
the lines OF the Smoot reorganization bill in the last Congress
and that he would not be adverse to having it passed Of
course, Mr.. Coolidge believes that some of these commissions
and bureaus should be abolished on account of the overlapping
II the bureaus are not abolished by Congress there is but little
doubt that the same personnel will be retained. If, however.
some are abolished, those remaining will have their same
officers. 1t is the Presidents aim that somebody be in a posi-
lion where they can be held strictly accountable to the people
of the country.

PRESIDENT A DIRT FARMER

While it is early to forecast just what the Presidents mes
sage to Congress will contain, it can be stated that one of his
suggestions for aiding agriculture will be the encouragement of
the cooperative movement for the handling of farm products.
President Coolidge as a boy lived and worked on a farm.

THE PARK COUNTY HERALD

The problems of a farmer are not theories with him. He knows
by actual experience the things with which the farmer has
TO contend. He realizes that the farmer, like every other indi-
vidual, has a right to expect aid when aid is needed. Neither
the farmers of the country nor the President are foolish enough
TO think that price-fixng will bring any relief.
If any of the farmers of the country have an idea that the
President is going to promise them something that cannot be
done they are very badly mistaken, for Calvin Coolidge is honest
and no honest man will ever promise to do more than he can do.
