day evening. The noise of the
moving chairs as more than 500
banqueters were being seated was
drowned out by an orchestral over
ture, with Mrs. r. L. Silver at the
piano. Many high ~salaried vaude-
vile performers would have suf-
fered in comparison to the talent
of the powdered and painted colon
ial danes, the ballet girl grads,
stepped out and interpreted the joy
and poetry of motion, and dem
onstrated what is possible in cor
relating young minds and bodies
thru aesthetic training. The High
land filings and Chinese sings were
worthy the occasion. AS a remind
err of an outstanding event, each
hand painted place card, with a
magic phial of aster buds attached,
was IN artistic lettered sentiment.
Yes. it was a painless speechless
banquet, with all early to bed and
early to rise to receive THE Gift
of the Waters and witness an i'm
pressive symbolic pageant. COM

5000 spectators, gathered between

of these renowned mineral springs
to the white man-the Big Spring,
which had meant so much to him
and his people in a spiritual way.
The words were given in the Sho-
shone tongue, with it's intricite in
English. The ceremonial was led
by Ellen Washable, with more than
500 ONE participating. Fox
flmers were busy keeping the
white youth out of this distinctly
red mans picture, with its noun

The retiring president, Mrs. w.

of ceremonies, proving herself an
altogether lovely parliamentarian,
quick at gracious repartee and the
retort courteous. Our loss is an

make her home in Colorado.

History

| just finished hearing a Politician,
one of the Washington Boys, talk
on Abraham Lincoln. The only
thing | could picture in common
between him and Lincoln was that
they had both been in Washington.
When a Politician aint talking
about himself he is talking about
Lincoln. Lincoln has had more
Public men speak of his good
qualities, and fewer copy any of
them, than any man America ever
produced. His famous address was
only about two hundred words
long. Nc Politician has ever been
able to even copy his briefness.
In fact that is the last one of his
qualities that they would try to
copy. Lincoln said more in those
200 words than has been said in
the entire City of Washington in
the last 10 years, and here is a
quality that no historian or speaker
has ever brought out before. AT
the completion of the Gettysburg
speech, he wisely refused one of
Grants Cigars, and borrowed a
sack of "Bull'' Durham from an
Elk Southern private, rolled his
own, got on his Mule and went
back to Washington.

certify in accepting this the highest
honor of the club. and feel gratefri
that the charm of the southland
mingled with the freedom of the
west in the mental makeup of the
new president, should be at the
helm guiding destinies of this 20
lent aggregation of the best mind
of the great state of Wyoming.
Among the delegates represeu
ing the Cody Woman's club Were
Mrs. Edith Langworthy. president.
Mrs. Ada Greever. eX-president. and
Mrs. Mabel School. While our
president was alive to every problem
handled by the Federation. she was
particularly alert upon the conser-
walton of natural and at
the special luncheon for presidents

delegate placed Upon the program

Contrary to the traditional belief
of the opposite specie, there was
no overtime talking, the two-min-
ute Limitation on reports being en-
forced. Trespassing beyond the al
lotted time was promptly penalized
by the official gavel welded by Mrs.
Greever, who was pressed into SER
vice upon arrival.
Prominent upon the splendid pro-
gram was an address by DR.. A. G..
Crane, foremost always in those
events which make for the upbuild-
ing of youth. He chose Citizen

DR.. Crane is an ardent lover Of the
national forests, and in a personal
interview stated that he heartily
endorsed a forestry program for all
Wyoming clubs. Governor Ross
also personally expressed an active
interest in the federal forestry, and
added a heartfelt desire that the
state university be cherished in the
hearts of Wyoming club women.
The Governor also accented a journ-
alistic note in her appeal for and
appreciation of more accurate and
ethical publicity.
Ballots were cast to tom tom
marches, pep songs punctuated par
liamentary procedure, and long
locked Lander ladies inspired the
bobbed Cody contingent to become

Nellie Tayloe Ross, who, costumed
in black and white silhouetted

pleaded in low but ~far-reaching
tones for the very life of the land,
for willing obedience to the law,
for the unfolding of order, which

PRETTY NEAR END OF
THE FISHING CONTEST

Fishermen still have a few days to
compete for the prizes offered by
Babbitts' hardware store for the larg-
est fish taken during the season. Bass
are biting better than any time this
year, according to anglers at Mormon
lake. From now to October first, the
best strings have been taken in the
past, and by all reports, the fish are
biting true to form this year.
|. H. Swisher, at Montezuma lodge,
reports catching 70 bass in four trips
out on the lake with a party of fisher
men. No record breakers were taken,
but the fish averaged up well.
w. C. Rinard of Phoenix still has
the largest bass taken thus far this
season. 1t was a small mouth, weigh
ing four pounds, eight ounces. Ray
Vyne of Prescott is a close second
with a bass four ounces lighter.
To compete for prizes, fishermen
must register at Rabbits, use stand
ard lightweight tackle, catch their
fish in Coconino county and have a
license. The fish must be weighed at
Rabbits.

WHAT OUR CUB
REPORTER WANTS
TO KNOW?

The Inquiring Reporter: Every
This week, speaking of snake dances:
"What is the biggest snake yOu ever
SAW"
Joe Schmidt, jeweler-"B Biggest
snake / ever saw, was at Hoteville
three, years ago. 1t was bull snake
and must of been around eight feet
long. A Hopi boy about 10 years of
age was dancing with it. The snake
wound around the lad and squeezed
him SO tight it was necessary for some
of the elders to take the snake off
him.
Everett Mercer, rodent leader
biggest snake | ever saw was killed
by my dad in the Paint Rock country
on the Concho river, Texas. Father
came on him at night lying across a
cattle trail. When he told in town of
the big snake several were dubious
and wanted to see it. They went out
in a buggy and brought it to town.
1t was a diamond-back rattlesnake
and measured about 10 feet in length.
The snake was skinned and later sold
to the Buckhorn saloon in San An
tonic. At this time it was reputed to
be the largest rattlesnake ever killed
in the state of Texas.
A stranger-"Nevef saw any big
snakes myself, but down at Carr's
ranch below Pleasant Valley was the
snake hangout | ever heard
of. A bunch of cowboys riding in this
region came onto a ball of rattle
snakes, apparently fighting. Return
ing to the ranch, the boys got pitch
forks and rolled the mass of reptiles
off the mountain side. 1t contained
about 100 rattlesnakes and was three
feet in diameter Hunting out the
