WE USHER IN ANOTHER YEAR

We're off We toed the scratch, hit the cinder path with a
jump, and our goal is greater prosperity in 1925.
More than twenty-five years ago the Enterprise came into
existence in this city. William F, Cody and Colonel Peake, recog-
nizng the value of a newspaper, o. a mouthpiece, to any community,
fathered the establishment of the newspaper, and very week in
each year that has passed since that time has seen the Enterprise
carrying its news stories to the public. Always a booster for Cody
and the Buffalo Bill country, always endeavoring to align itself
justly in any cause, heralding the "doings' OF the people OF the Big
Horn Basin with pride, chronicling developments, announcing births
and deaths and marriages, and in every way seeking to be a real
newspaper, the Enterprise is still going strong" and will be at the
same old stand in 1925 and in all succeeding years telling its interest
ing little stories of home-folk just as it has done during the twnety-
five years that have elapsed since its establishment.
The Enterprise believes in the west and, despite the arrival of
eastern people and their eastern ideas. it believes that these people
and their ideas have become absorbed by the traditions and customs
of the west, and the western melting pot has functioned for the
betterment OF the Buffalo Bill country. Mighty good people have
Der them among its citizens-but the Enterprise believes that the
spirit OF the old west has prevailed, and that now every person COM
ing here from other regions is a confirmed booster for the tradi-
tons that the immortal Buffalo Bill labored to perpetuate.
Trials and vcisstudes have visited the Cody district and the
and optimism, and today there is no part of the great state Of wy
9ming, or or OF the west, that promises more than the Big Horn

WHEN YOU AND l WERE YOUNG, BILL"

when You and Were Young, Maggie" is San old song that
conveys volumes of sentiment, but the sentiment and fact contain
cd in that old song isn't one whit more pronounced than the
sentiment and fact contained in the statement of a local garage
Young, Bill, we didn't have half the scolastic advantages the young
sters have nowadays"
The man who made the statement was referring directly to the
athletic side OF the education offered to the boys and girls of today,
and more direct reference was made to the school children of
Cody. Most people who are observant will agree with him, even
though, at times, we are prone to think that reading, writing, and
iithmetic and other branches are sometimes sacrificed in order to
emphasize the athletic reputation of our schools. 1t is indsputable,
however, that athletics, properly INDUCED in, stimulate us to better
things, gives him or her the vigor and pep" SO necessary to the
healthy-minded ambitious student, and is a pronounced asset TO
scholastic training.
Let's go back to Cody.
The basketball season is here, and the high school of this city
There's a real man coaching the basketball team, and his name is
II. F. Grossman. Only last week he exhibited his calibre when
he dismissed from the team several star players who persisted in
breaking training rules and disturbing the morale Of the hoop squad.
were considered the bulwarks OF the team, but Coach Grossman
looked farther than that-he believes that the spirit OF school should
be upheld, and he preferred to place men on his team who had the
entire honor of the school at heart, and the dismissed stars were
the practice games with the true spirit of high school athletics, and
these are the players who will start in the games against Lowell on
Friday night, and Cowley on Saturday night.
Bully for Coach Grossmanl
In the meantime, the basketball fans of the city. and all lovers
of good sport should be thinking about attending both games and
port will help, but financial support will help more because it covers
moral support also. Everybody who can find time to go to the
schoo gym on Friday night should be there. Saturday night also.
There will be coolies of good sport for you to see, and you will be
doing your bit To encourage the biggest aid to education known to
the unsurpassed school system of America.
Everybody turn out. There is both education and real religion
in school athletics properly conducted. and your support Is needed.
More than that, your Amencanism demands it.

Mays heart beat high with eX-

windy darkness on her way to

This, for her, was adventure Of
an entirely new sort. May always
thrilled to adventure as a spoiled

on a bench, in the shadows a few

they are and the training which
they receive. We are pleased to
feel that Uncle Sam is doing such
a splendid work in developing the
manhood Of the men he takes into
his employ.
In the course of the various let
tiers | have written during my stay
on the battleship West Virginia I
have given my readers only a gen
eral idea of the extent and intri-
cacies of a modern battleship, but
in this letter have thought it we'll
to give just a few figures descrip-
tive of this great fighting machine,
which is the newest and one of the
three most modern and effective
ships Of it's type in the navies of
the entire world.
We have eighteen battleships in
the American navy, of which the
Florida and Utah, completed in
1911, are the oldest. We have read
much in the newspapers recently
about elevating the guns of our
battleships to increase their range
The West Virginia, Colorado, Mary
land, California and Tennessee
which are the newest, all have a
thirty-degree angle of elevation
The rest have fifteen degrees.
In the British navy only one bat
tleship, the Hood, has a thirty
degree elevation, while the balance
all have twenty degrees. There
has been much argument about our
inferiority in the shooting range
of our ships, which is true except
as to the five mentioned.
There is much argument over the
question of elevating the guns or
the other ships and we have nc
doubt it will be done in time. They
are now inferior to the British
ships and it is claimed the Japan
csc have elevated their guns.
The West Virginia has eigh
sixteen-inch and twelve five-inct
guns. Saturday I visited one of hel

On the interior they are a mas
