BUYING IN CODY

There is no statement more fanacious than "you can buy
cheaper out of town. Yet it is surely not uncommon in Cody
Every town and city has its population of mail order and out-of-
town buyers, but fortunately for the hometown merchants. the
hometown itself and the residents in that town, that proportion
of out-of-town buyers is never large.
There may be instances where there have been apparent
economies through buying away from home, but how do the
books balance at the final reckoning? If the purchases have
been made by mail what saving is left after the time, postage
and carrying charges are deducted? Is the railroad fare added
to the shopping expenses on those bargainLhunting excursions
to the nearby city or the larger town? Is there not also a value
in dollars and cents for the worry, delay and disappointment that
IS inevitable in mail order buying.
There is an unselhsh, community side of this buying t-home
question which cannot be ignored by the good citizen. People
who believe in Cody must believe in its merchants, who are an
integral part of the town. Buying-at-home serves a double pur-
pose. When people buy at home, through their buying the
home town merchants prosper, the town prospers because of
the prosperity of its merchants, public improvements follow
municipal prosperity, and the public benefits from the public
improvements. Can anybody afford to trade away from home
when there is always a means of getting what they want at
home, and at as good or better prices, than the same goods
cost away from home.

THE WISE MEN
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

THIS is a day of wisdom and we all
have to do with wise men of all
sorts. Self-interest is perhaps the
most common sort of wisdom. We
hear from all sides the necessity of
looking out for Number One, the obi
CATION one is under to AXE care of
himself, n the utter foolishness of
spending good money on anything
without getting an adequate return.
All for I" is the motto of such a
wise man, and the one he has in mind
is himself.
Jimmy and 1 were having a little
conversation about certain rather ques-
tlonable proceedings of which he had
been a part. Jimmy belonged to an
organization, and he and 1t were In
trouble.
II don't care ABOUT the other fell
lows" he asserted. what they do
doesn't concern me. I'm interested en-
tirely in clearing myself. 1 learned
long ago that the main thing is to take
care of Yourself" His point of view is
not an uncommon one among men of
wisdom, but it will not go far toward
bringing peace on earth and good will
toward men," The wisdom of self
interest and of sclGslness is IA poor
wisdom that robs us Of the sweetest
pleasures Of life.
The wise men who brought their
gifts to the Christ Child had come a
long way over barren desert roads.
They were following an ideal, and in
order TO realize 1t they were willing to
make sacrifices, to endure hardsEips,
and to face dangers. The gifts they
brought represented the best they had,
the most precious things they could
buy, and they laid them willingly at
the feet of the Child.
There is no star shining In the west
Tor us today. perhaps, and we may
have neither gold nor frankincense
nor myrrh, but there is about us every
where opportunity for sacrifice. for
ememberlng ~kindnesses, for thinking
and doing for others, for showing the
Christian spirit. For they are the true
Wise Men who spend themselves. who
realize that ii is Withholding that i'm
poverishes and giving unselfshly that
enriches.

DANGEROUS TURN NEEDS ATTENTION

Public officials are very prone to neglect the repair Of
dangerous places in the road, until some outstanding catastrophe
occurs which arouses public sentiment to the point which makes
the improvement eXpedient. Almost a year ago al accident
occurred at the hill to the southeast of Cody. A car went over
the hill at a bend in the road which represents one of the great
est hazards of any highway in the county. Immediately after
the fatal accident something was to be done. Civic organizations
went on record to get this bad turn eliminated. The town
council sent a crew to the place and did a little work.
After several months, the hazard remains. Unless something
is done, there is no doubt but that a second toll of life will be
the result. Let's fix it NOW.

HERALD HERALDS

If you thinks Cody is a Gay"
town, turn around in the city streets
between intersections. The greatest
trouble the local officers are having
nowadays is to keep the eastern mo-
florists from violating all traffic
rules. They seem to think that
because they are in a small town
they can operate their car as they
please, and with no consideration
for their own, or n others safety.
