Lou Burmeister is at home again.
He came home a couple of weeks
ago and, if the rest of the United
States is like Florida, Lou says he
is going to stay at home.
Nj. Burmeister has called Wyoming
home for many years, but he has al
ways borne in mind the words taken
from hat old song you know so well:
"There is no place like home, and,
being of a naturally curious DISPOSE
ton, he decided, last September, that
he would make a personal tour to
Florida and find out whether that
much advertised peninsula was even
the least bit like the home he has
known for so many years. This cur
iousity was superinduced by a desire
to find a place where he could en-
gage in truck farming, on a few acres,
with a COW and pigs, and chickens,
and such things, and at the same
time get just a little more ease and
enjoyment from life. So, on the 14th
of last September, Mr.. Burmeister,
.chaperoned by Mrs. Burmeister, took
the train from Cody. and set their
resolute faces Floridaward.
Unfortunately, said Mr.. Burmeist-
err nothing sufficiently dangerous con-
fronted them during the trip to i'm
pede their progress or change their
minds, and eventually the travellers
landed in jacksonville, in the land of
fruit, flowers, alligators and real
estate agents. There were other
things beside those just enumerated
to make the state of Florida memoir
able TO them, such as coolies of ants
and Crackers" but the real estate
agents, alone, said Mr.. Burmeister,
were there in numbers and tempera-
ments to cause n person TO remember
them forever. There was only one
kind of pest more umerou than the
ants, he said, and they were the real
estate agents.
Mr. and Mrs. Burn eister stayed in
Jacksonville one week. and then went
to GAINESVILLE, an inland city, where,
the imaginative real estate agents as
sured them, they could find just the
sort Of small acreage tracts they were
looking for. GAINESVILLE is n college
town, said Mr.. Burmeister, and a
beautiful little city, but "beauty was
only soil deep" there, and after wan
dering about the GAINESVILLE district
six or seven days, our pilgrims went
on TO Leesburg.
There wasn't anything fit to be
compared with Wyoming around Lees
burg, and then began n pilgrimage all
along the west coast of the state,
Tampa, Sarasota, st. Petersburg. and
Harpoon Springs, coming under the
discriminating scrutiny of Mr.. and
Mrs. .Burmeister.
When the Burmeisters left Cody,
they really intended to stay in Florida,
provided they could find n location
10 suit them. but after three and a
half months Of fruitless search, they
decided that they would shake che
snndy, unproductive soil Of Florida
from their shoes and HE themselves
back to Wyoming.

STAMPEDE SET FOR JULY g. ,4
@i&!Dl~

The sixth annual meeting of the Cody Stampede Association
was held in the court house on last Friday evening at which time
the old board of directors, consisting of ]. H. Larom, J. M. Schwoob
and Caroline Lockhart, was unanimously reelected.
Owing to the fact that the fifth of July this year will fall on
Sunday, the dates were changed to the End, 3rd, and 4th, so that
the last day will come on Saturday, the holiday.
The directors feel very well satisfied with the report which
they are able to make to the stockholders, and which shows that
in spite of the big expense to which they were put in order to take
care of the extra crowd attracted by the unwilling of the Buffalo
Bill monument, and the serious handicap of competition to Wolf
vile, which yearly works a hardship upon the management, they
were still able to pay their debts and start 1925 with practically a
clean slate and good credit.

Paving the Worlds Streets

The lake of asphalt in Trinidad has
fallen only fifteen feet since its dis
covery by early explorers, despite the
fact that approximately 1000 600 tons
of road-making material have been
removed. 1t is estimated that TO-
O0O,0 900 tons of the mixture have been
churned into asphalt by gases during
the ages in Pitch Lake, which 10
known as Devils Caldron among the
natives. To transport the material,
rails mounted ON ties have been ex-
tended oversthe surface, and cars are
run out to the diggers who never move

days activity filled up. About every
three days, the pitch covers the rail-
way, which slowly sinks into the soft
material and must be raised and Ne

tons of asphalt are withdrawn from
the lake each year. The entire de-
post covers an area of about ITO
acres but its depth has never been
measured.

SMALL GROUPS
PLAN WORK OF
NEXT SESSION
Capital Whisperings During
Washington Recess Time
Are Quite Important \
BY CHARLES =. STEWA
NEA Service Writer

Washington, April 21.-This is
supposed to be a quiet place when
Congress isn't in session The truth
is that more connubiating goes on
at the national capital when the bulk
of the lawmakers are scattered over
the face Of the country than when
they are on the job,- talking them
selves black in the face and occa-
sionally passing bill appropriating
money, creating az fresh political
snap, or prohibiting something it
always was all right to do before.
What Congress does, when in ses-
sion, is to carry out the plans franz
ed up by few leaders during recess
periods, when they have plenty of
time to sit down quietly and think
and chat--to speechify-about the
things they'd like to put through.
So, recess-time though this is,
there's continual dropping in and
whispering and scattering and get
ting together again Of this little
group or that. These meetings are
important, too. They don't attract
much attention just now, but their
results will, when Congress recon
vcnes in December, or somewhat
sooner, if an extra session is called
The War and Navy Departments

ban would deny publicity, except as

demonstrations as the sinking of the

cent anti-aircraft gunnerv trials at
Fortress Monroe, or the earlier

bombing of the condemned German
war vessels, concerning which so
much was said in connection with
the Mitchell controversy. Publica-
ton of details Or photographs other
than those given out by the depart
ments themselves will be prohibited,
if officials have their way.
The trouble with this program is,
how is it to be made effective with
out the cooperation of the press ?
which isn't all of it likely to be will
ing to cooperate. In wartime it
could be done, of course. Even in
peace-tme it can be done in some
old world countries, where militar-
ism has tighter grip than here.
But in the United States, except
when war is on, if the newspapers
can get details and pictures, unless
new laws are passed, no means eX-
lists of preventing their publication.
And battleship, for instance, cam
very well be bombed in an enclosed
space, from which reporters and
photographers can be excluded.
This question came up in connec-
ton with the sinking of the Wash
ington. 1t was going to be secret,

"Then how'd you stop him.

And more than this, now appeal

Senators by correspondence, by resO-
