WYOMING WOMEN ENJOY
LUNCH WITH EXCLUSIVES

Not to be outdone by their dis
tinguished husbands, wives of United
States senators have an organiza-
ton of their own. to which member
ship is quite as limited as it is to
the Senate itself. 1t is the Sen
ate Ladies Club. The organization
boasts no official status and its in
formal deliberations are sandwiched
between tasty salads and other
equally as palatable dishes prepared
by the ladies themselves. Politics
or legislative matters of the mo-
ment nave no place IN the program
and the society meets but once a
week as compared with the daily
gatherings of the august assemblage
which their husbands constitute.
But the meetings are said to be
none the less interesting, and t.
participants at least. very often
much more enjoyable. AS for ad-
mittance of visitors, total exclusion
prevails SO far as males are con-
cerned. and only at stated inter
walls may a member bring a woman
guest, n then but one at a time.
Wyoming m fortunate enough
to be guests al meetings during the
past year are Governor Nellie Tay-
loe Ross, and Mrs. H. F. Eggleston
of Laramie.

THE PARCO NEWS
BY H. T. DUCE
AND
BALFE ADDED
TO ORCHESTRA

The Parco Music Producers have
added two new members to their
orchestra during the past two weeks,
making - players in all.
Herb Simpson, the new saXaphone
player, halls from Green River where
he has been playing for some time.
He previously played with Flint's
orchestra in Clinton, Iowa, and is
considered one of the best saxaphone
players in the middle west. The adj
dition of Simpson to the orchestra
has greatly improved the saXaphone
section making it one of the best
ombinations available.
The latest new member is Jack
Balfe from Chicago. He made his
first appearance with the orchestra
on last Friday night and was well
received. Jack is a violinist of eX-
ceptional ability, both as a musician
and entertainer. He is a personal
friend of Paul Whiteman and played
with his orchestra in Chicago. For
three years he appeared with the
famous Courtney sisters in Keith's
vaudeville The Music Producers
feel extremely fortunate in securing
his services and he fills the vacancy
made by the we'll known Paecheco,
who left some time ago.
Both of these men fill up the gaps
in the orchestra that have been so
noticeable and make it a finished or
g%anization which is capable of and
does produce dance music equal to
that found anywhere in the country.
Parco people consider themselves
very fortunate in having such music
at their demand and are glad to be
able to share this pleasure with the
citizens of all the surrounding COM
munities.
This week the Music Producers are
playing in Cheyenne at the Frontier
Days Celebration after which they
will proceed into Colorado to play
engagements in Denver, Pueblo,
colorado Springs, Boulder and poss-
IDLY other places. They will return
to Parco August the LIST. In their
absence S~artoris' orchestra from
Rock Springs will play in Parco Sat
urday night the 25th. This band is

ming scores of the day.
Payne appeared on the mound for
Parco for the first time and while
he allowed the Laramie boys 16 hits
he also accounted for nine strike
puts. Considering the hitting RAM
page, that both teams seemed to be
on, his performance was creditable
and he will be looked to for results
latter on in the season.
Five men hit for home runs, the
Oil Cans accounting for three of
them. Three doubles and our trip
les added to the homers made an ex-
citing game and honors were evenly
divided at the bat. Parco players
reached Privett and Wills of Lara
ME for nineteen hits while Payne
was touched for 16.
Powell and Galena divided the hit
ting honors of the day, each getting
four hits out of five times to bat.
Powell hit out a home run and three
singles while Galena accounted for
a triple, a double and two singles.
Smith, playing center field for Lara
mic made the sensational catch OF
the game when he fell after making
a long running catch, holding the
ball safely after the fall.
Honors and breaks throughout the
game were evenly divided. Both
teams committed five errors and 80
hits in all were accounted for.
The Laramie boys accounted for
the only double play of The game
which occurred in the fifth inning.
Powell singled and reached first when
Sullivan hit a fast grounder to Pri-
vett who caught Powell at second
and Sullivan at first by a wide mar
gin.
WEIGH, the first man up for the
Oil Cans, hit the first ball pitched
for a single. but the ball bounced
over Freeman's head in left field and
WEIGH stretched the hit into a
homer. Privett of Laramie opened
the game and allowed eight runs In
the first three innings but settled
down until the sixth when Wills took
the box. The OIL Cans gave Wills a
great reception in the eighth and
scored the three winning runs.
Next Sunday the Oil Cans will play
the Cheyenne y. p. Stores team in
Parco and on August 6, z, s and 3
they will play a four game series
with an All Star team from the
