YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK EXTENSION
written for the Inland Oil Index by Anna A. Jelenl

Wyoming, would you hesitate to do
The noble thing? All, no! Not you'll
Would you shrink from duty? Count paltry cost
When a nation calls? When your pride is tossed?
All, no! Not you'll
Within your borders, living one glad hour,
l sang your songs of beauty and power.
In those songs | read the souls of your men,
Heard mother-hearts beat, again, yes, again.
Ere l left you.
Heard your youth sing, Land of the sunlight clear"
Beloved State of Mine" Land we love so dear"
Knew they felt the thrill of Sweet Freedoms Song
In Tempted hills and Rocks" that Sound prolong."
And nobler grew.
You've dared your sister states to do the right.
On historys page is stamped your noble fight.
just add to that page, burning words of flame,
preserve to posterity more than a name
In Gods giftsH'
Give, proudly give, your gold-crowned Tetons, Grand,
Mirrored, natures pyramids. Yet understand
No earthly power can move them away.
These treasures rare, your privilege for aye.
Natures tokens.
Then give, Wyoming, give with bounteous hand
To all humanity! And, you'll understand
Why to the open heart comes a lifelong feast.
Build from these dreamland haunts of man and beast.
Your hearts monument.

LEGION AUXILIARY DANCE
PROVES POPULAR AFFAIR

The dance given by the Ladies'
on Tuesday evening proved a very
enjoyable entertainment. and des-
pite unfavorable condition of the
weather and impossible roads the
crowd was a very large one, and
the dance was considered a success
from both a financial and social
viewpoint.
The Irma dance room had been
artistically decorated for the occa-
sion and every effort was made by
the ladies to insure the guests a
good time. A light lunch with re-
freshments ives served between ele-
ven and twelve o'clock.
The Harrison orchestra furnished
music for the occasion, and Cody
has every reason to be proud of
this local musical organization. With
Manager Harrison at the piano,
Mable Bulger leading with the VIC
lin, Jay Bennett and Morris Starr
with saxaphone and drums, re-
spectively, the orchestra furnishes
a quality of music which is rend-
cred only by orchestras of the high
err class.
The Ladies of the Auxiliary wish
to thank all those who contributed
toward making their dance a sue
cess, and wish to assure all that
the funds will be used in the most
efficient manner to bring joy and
comfort to the disabled veterans at
the Federal hospital at Sheridan.

Hunters from out of the state are
already arriving in the Piscataquis
big game regions to await the open
ing of the deer season next week and
to enjoy the partridge shooting in
the meantime. Guides and wardens
whose duties have taken them into
the big woods during the past few
weeks report plenty of deer. and
cartridges are more plentiful in the
northern end of the county than in
the Dover Foxcroft section where
they are unusually scarce this sea-
son, the cold spring having ap-
parently been responsible for the
death of many young birds. 1t is
said that the hunting season will
open with conditions more favorable
than usual owing to the fact that
the early frosts have turned the
trees bare. While early frosts and
high winds are spelling many of the
usual beauties of the autumn foliage
they are making conditions some
what more favorable for the easy
hunting of deer. The official" hunt
ing party composed of State and
Piscataquis county officials are pre-
pairing to depart next week for
Forty Mile Swing where they will
remain in camp for week or more.
The personnel Of the party will be
about the same as in past years, al
though Williams H. Downes of
Sebec, cook par excellence. will be
unable to cater to the appetites of
the officials because of an accident
which put him in a Bangor hospital.
In the meantime the managers of the
party are casting about for a cook to
take the place of Mr.. Downes.

SPEAKS A GOOD WORD

Criticism of legislative bodies
has first and last contributed to the
public's amusement but not so often
to its comprehension. II people
would be well served by their law
makers they should endeavor to give
credit where credit is due. Rep
resentative Burleigh Martin of this
city. speaking before the Kiwanis
Club this week, paid tribute to the
faithfulness and industry of the
members whom he had known, many
Of them coming long distances and
making sacrifices to attend to the af-
fairs of the State. He thought 1t
would be well il the public took more
interest in their Legislatures.
This is something which needs to
be said every now and then. for peo-
pie are forgetful, and more depends
on their recognizing and rewarding
faithful and efficient service than
most seem to comprehend.
Mr.. Martin also speaking out of
his experience in the Maine Legis-
lature, reminded us that the State
has had excellent service from the
two women who have served and
from his acquaintance with condi-
lions does not hesitate to say that he
believes 1.-THE presence of women in
the Legislature is wholesome and
beneficial" He thinks the time fast
approaching when there will be
many more women in our law-mak-
ing bodies.
With regard to his further con-
.clusion that little If any time is
wasted by the Legislature in coming
together Tuesdays and going away
Thursday nights or Friday morn
ings there will, we assume. be
a difference of opinion. Quite a
number Of the lawmakers come long
distances and cannot go home every
week to attend to their personal af-
fairs and so are at some sacrifice as
well as the expense of remaining
here. That this time is not alto
gether wasted by them would hardly
be doubted. Presumably some Of it
is used in getting acquainted and
faniliarizing themselves with their
duties. But surely the need of these
things is not confined to those COM
ing from a long distance. and they
are unable so to get acquainted with
the members who go home, and these
after attending to their own affairs
cannot possibly have much time of
the recess to devote to familiarizing
themselves with the legislative af-
fairs. Is there not in the present ar
rangement somewhat of advantage
to those who are so enabled to spend
half the week at home. while mem
bers not so near by are put to ad-
ditional expense?

CRIME IN NEW YORK

The New York papers seem to
think 1t matter of news that six
judges on Wednesday disposed Of 26
criminal cases and cut the indict-
ments awaiting trial from S37 to S11:
that three judges were absent. re-
ported indisposed. 1t is noteworthy
that % of the 26 pleaded guilty,
though the report makes no men
ton Of reason why those pleas were
made. Presumably there was rea-
son and it is more than probable it
was not the desire of the criminal to
aid justice or save the court ex-
pense. Furthermore it appears the
percentage of indisposition among
the judges, three absent out Of the
nine, was rather high; also that with
500 cases waiting justice cannot
strictly be termed expeditions.
Alongside this report in the New
York World Is one of a series of
articles by Donald Ewing on crime
conditions. He finds that the Jail
records show that the crime Of youth
is increasing rapidly. In the three
prisons to which those guilty Of SER
ious crimes are sent, "a per cent
were but 80 or less years of age.
He finds evidence of tremendous
increase in the number Of persons ar
rested for violent crimes.
Police Commissioner Enright con-
dennis the practise of giving in
determinate sentences. He reports
that in the first half of this year 1859
who had been given suspended
sentences were arrested for new
crimes and that in six Of these cases
the charge was homicide.
Just what may be the causes for
such evident lack of respect for
human life does not appear. 1t is,
however, quite obvious that the
youth in that part of the country,
which in this respect does not seem
dissimilar to some other parts. Bos-
ton for instance, are obsessed by the
idea that crime affords easy money
with little risk. OF that idea at
least, it is entirely possible for
society to disabuse their minds. Con-
gested court calendars. indisposed
judges, unprepared lawyers wishing
to postpone trial and a disposition
toward unwise leniency decidedly
are not the ways to go about it.

Knottinq the Halter

(The Public Ledger
The United States Shipping Board
continues to knot thee halter around
it's own neck. With President Cool
idge in far-away Nebraska. 1t ex-
ecuted a few more steps in its dance
of defiance by ousting Admiral Pal
mer from control Of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. The board has
rut in it's own hand-picked man and
is waiting to see what the President
will do about it.
There is no immediate necessity
for him to do anything. The board
is committing suicide as fast as it
can. The personnel of its organiza-
ton never had any morale to speak

lie. 1t will neither do anything

matters little what the board does in

Thompsons resignation will doubt
less be accepted. Commissioner
Haney has refused to resign, but his

fish stories to stir them to the desire
to emulate the native anglers. Not

the village storekeeper to lend them

the understanding that any parts lost
