ised steady ascension durirg the
rest OF the daylight hours.
Because Saturday is regularly a
half.holiday, 1t was not necessary
today, as 1t has been for the past
three days, to close any OF the
Government departments because
OF the heat. The fact that today
is also half-holiday for most OF
the city's office workers and q
whole holiday for thousands Of de.
partment store employees. also Of
fered a chance for escaping the
heat to great part OF the city'a
population.
Reports from nearby Maryland
and Virginia indicate that the heat
wave in those sections has been al
bad as in Washington. Early to
bacco and corn In Southern Mary
land counties are said to have beer
burned up and other crops are sui
fering heavy damage.
More local thunder showers arr
promised for today, and the Wealth
er Bureau says tomorrow night
might bring a slight letting up In
the heat wave. But any great re-
lief is not yet seen.
AS today Is a half.holiday in Gov
eminent departments anyhow there
will be no need TO disturb the work
ing schedule of Federal employees
because OF the heat. Many depart
ment stores are closed all day thus
affording some respite for thou
sands Of other workers.

Of these officials was most cordial

A TOWNS BEST BOOSTER

A writer in a current magazine observes eff the newspaper
is just a little better than its town, the latter is the gamer
thereby"
Towns and their newspapers usually lag or lead together.
Progressive journalism is the unfaiing tonic of the lethargic
community, but it is equally true that a ifeless newspaper can
seriously retard the development of its community.
There is no better community asset than a home newspaper
equal to the needs of the community. While a poor newspaper
is better than none to the individual reader, that does not
hold true for the town.
What can a good newspaper do for its community? 1t can
serve as the towns messenger to the outside world. 1t must
take the leadership in all community projects if they are to be
successful. 1t is to the newspaper that all organization be-
tween local government and citizen. 1t is to the newspaper that
all organizations turn for assistance in public welfare movements
and without that assistance they face failure.
The newspaper reaps the reward of it's initiative by sharing
in the general Improvement of business and community affairs
it has been instrumental in bringing about. The good news
paper deems it a pleasure to serve it's community and it's read
es and it fully aware that it is only through giving a full
measure of service that it can progress and prosper.
1t is also very essential, in order to have a good newspaper
in a community, that a full measure of support be given it,
both in assisting with the gathering of news to fill its columns,
and supporting it in a financial way. Money that goes to out-of-
town solicitors in advertising, and money that is spent with the
out-of-town printing concerns, does nothing to support the home
town newspaper which boosts your home town for you.

BILLINGS WANTS IT ALL

During the last few years there has been developed a most
kindly feeling toward Billings, Montana, and the Midland
Empire. 1t is to Billings that the local business men have
gone for much of their merchandise, and Billings has grown
to be the wholesale market for much of northern Wyoming.
Frequently Billings boosters have toured the Basin, and at
a meeting held in Cody not long ago, these same boosters, who
by the way were advertising the Billings fair as much as any
one thing, said: Come to Billings, for the fair; to Red Lodge
on Labor Day and we will Come to Cody for the Stampede
This was certainly a commendable spirit on the part of
the Billings men, and was more than appreciated by Cody
people, yet this year, in direct violation of these promises,
Billings stages a four or five day show, and Billings faces were
rare sights at the Cody celebration.
That Cody businessmen resent this attitude is attested
on every hand, and the Billings market will no doubt feel a
chilly breeze blowing from this quarter in the future, if they
persist in this attitude of get aH-take al-and give nothing
in return"
There are Wyoming towns which have made strong bids
for the Big Horn basin business, but the tendency has been to
stay with Billings" but if current remarks mean anything,
, 1926-07-07
THANK o ALL

At this time it is evident that someone must issue a full
round of thanks, and express the sincere appreciation of the
Cody community to those who have taken the lead, bore the
burdens and did the work in putting on the seventh annual
Cody Stampede, and making it the unusual success which
it most surely was. The business men and the people of
Cody as a whole, are duly appreciative of the efforts of the
Stampede directors and assistants, and commend them very
highly for their work.
That the 1926 Stampede was a success goes without saying.
The show was unusually well conducted, efficiently organized,
and included the best talent to be assembled here in several
years. There We're no disturbances to mar the enjoyment of
the merrymakers, no undue boisterousness, and everyone, both
those who took part on the program, and those who at
tended as spectators, had nothing but good things to say of
the show.
A big THANK YOU goes to all who took part.
, 1926-07-07
there is at least one town in the Basin, and we think it is al,
real good one, which feels that it has not been justly dealt with.
AGE MUST BE SERVED TOO.

America may be the land of the young man, but if the
young man thinks he has put the elderly man upon a shelf
he has another think coming.
In the field of science, for instance, statistics recently
gathered by Professor Raymond Pearl, and published by the
National Academy of Sciences, show that elderly men are
fully holding their own. The average age of the members
of that body on May /, 1925, was GOT years.
In sixty years, Professor Pearl discovered, the Academy
has admitted but one man under 80.
In political life the richer rewards go to men of ripe age,
too. Only about a dozen of the present membership Of the
United States Senate is composed of men under SO, the ma
jority being well along in their sixties.
The average age of members of the Cabinet is 589 years.
Only two men are under 5O-Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War,
46, and William F. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture, AT. Presi-
dent Coolidge will be 81 on July A. Vice-President Dawes is
going on 81.
