RADIOS OF REAL SERVICE

Heavy mail receipts from agricul-
tural areas of the Middle West and
Rocky Mountain territory show con-
clusively, it is said, that farmers are
attaching more Importance and de-
pendence than ever to radio.
Hundreds of testimonials to KAO,
General Electric b~roadcasting station,
reveal, it is pointed out, that greater
profits said to be due to radio, are
frequently made possible because
market and livestock reports are
heard sufficiently in advance of price
increases. Letters also indicate that
weather forecasts and warnings are
proving of material assistance to the
cattlemen and ranchers.
OF striking interest in rural dis
tricts, is the question box for farm
ers which is billed at the Denver sta
ton on every Tuesday evening. This
ethereal attraction, it is said, is the
means of disseminating technical in
formation concerning crops, garden
ing, poultry, stock-raising and kindred
agricultural topics. 1t is conducted
by George C. Wheeler, managing ed
itor of Western Farm Life.

of the principal game animals found

WHICH r YOU?

when the Creator had made all the good things in the world,
lie gave the devil a chance at creation to see what he coud do. So
the devil made the beast and the reptiles and the poisonous insects.
When he had finished these, he had some scraps that were too bad to
put into a rattlesnake, a scorpion or a skunk, so he put all these
together. covered it with suspicion. wrapped it with jealousy, marked
1t with a yellow streak, and called it a "knocker" The "knocker"
is the devils supreme creation.
This product of the devil was so fearful to contemplate, that
God had to make something to counterfeit it. So he took a sunbeam
and put it into the heart OF a child and the brain of a man. He
wrapped these in civic pride, covered it all with brotherly love, gave
1t a mask of velvet but a grasp of steel. and called it a booster"
God made him a lover of fields and flowers and manly sports, a be-
lever in equality and Justice, a worshiper of optimism. Ever since
these two creatures were made. mortal man has had the privilege of
choosing one o II the other as his associates.

White stated, land while most of the

A HALF MINUTE SERMON

The human race is forgeful and unappreciative-traits that can
never be overcome until human nature is remade.
We do not appreciate the comforts of our home until a raging
and disastrous fire o r tornado leaves us without shelter. 1t is only
when we lie fiat on our backs in bed, forced there by illness and
pain, that we place value on good health. 1t is then that we mourn
fully resolve to take better care of our bodies once we get up again.
When our modern conveniences are temporarily out of commits
sion we fret and fume and grumbe. Electric lights. for instance. AS
we light the candles or kerosene lamps we are impressed by the
pale reflection they give off. and wonder how our fathers and moth
es used to get along with such awful lighting.
We are not excited to active service for our god when we are
young and vigorous, but when we lie upon our %deathbeds, recalling
our days of forgetfulness and unappreciativeness of the opportunity
then we long to be up again and have one more chance.
Remember thy Creator now in the days of thy youth"

YOUR INFLUENCE SHOULD BE LASTING

The printing industry is one Of the leading industries of the
country. w. L. Mccain, editor of Printing" says it is fifth in size
and first in Importance.
He goes further to say: "The radio is a wonderful invention.
Almost a miracle. When you speak into it, thousands can hear your
voice. But how much more wonderful is printing. Through the
medium of the printing press you speak, and the power and influence
of your words, forgotten when the sound of your voice has ceased,
extend around the world, go surging down thru the ages and leave
their imprint on generation after generation through the marvellous
union of paper and ink"
You. a an individual or as the leader in some organization, may
have a message which should be put into pertinent form so that its
good influence may be felt by your contemporaries and be preserved
for future generations.
The old time advertiser rang a bell at the door of his business
house, but the sound of the bell has died out forever. The successful
advertiser of today has lasting messages printed in his newspaper
and their influence never dies out.

A GOOD CITIZEN

Whenever we need money to promote a community event of
any kind we go to him and ask for a contribution. And he usually
comes across.
Whenever we need a few local workers who are willing to do
something for the town without immediate profit in sight. we call
upon him and he rolls up his sleeves and gets busy.
Whenever we find ourselves in hard straits financially. we go to
him, tell our story. and get a reasonable line OF credit.
And then at times we forget what he means to our community
and complain about the way he runs his business and the kind OF
service he gives us.
"Whois this fellow? ?" you ask.
He is ysur local merchants good Cody citizen.

CODY is FORTUNATE

In reviewing the coal situation throughout the country for the
winter just passed, we have come to the conclusion that Cody res
idents should feel fortunate that they live in a country where any
grade of coal may be had at such reasonable prices. And the most
remarkable part of it is that the price of coal in Cody this winter has
been about onethird what it has cost the people in some sections of
the east.
People living in some of the strike areas of the east have been
glad to pay $50 to SIS per ton for coal during the winter and during
the severe weather coal sold as high as $3.50 per ton in one eastern
city. When you feel inclined to feel that your coal bill is high, just
compare these prices with what you pay for coal in Cody. The best
shipped in coal sells in Cody for Sl050 per ton and the product of
our local mine, which is of very good quality, sells for $3.50 per
ton, delivered to your coal bin. If you want to go to the mine after
il. it may be had for half that price.
Cody people have no cause to complain about their coal bills.

day evening, February II, when
their only daughter Elsie Marie, be-
came the bride of Mr.. Frances
j. Otis Kennard, OF Rising Sun.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. w. L. Hess, pastor of Hope
well M. E. church.
The bride was attractively gowned
in white satin trimmed in seed
pearls, with silver cloth slippers and
stockings, and carried shower
bouquet of white roses and lilies OF
the valley. Her travelling dress was
light blue, with hat to match
Miss Sara Benjamin, of Chester, a
cousin of the bride, was maid of
honor. She wore a gown of apple
green georgette. appliqued in velvet
roses, with silver kid slippers and
stockings, and carried an old
fashioned arm bouquet.
Mr.. c. Warren Kennard, of Rising

INSTALLING DEEP WELL
PUMP


An electrically driven, automatic,
double action, deep-well pump is
being installed at the town water
plant by j. d. Donache.
This pump will lift water from a
depth of 130 feet, and as the four
wells have proven by tests made to
be inexhaustible, our town will be
insured a never failing supply of the
best water that any town can
boast of.
The old pumping outfit will be
kept intact, as a reserve. The diff
ficulty with the town water situation
in the past has been that the pump
could not lift the water from a
sufficient depth to keep the supply
up, not that the. water was not in
the wells. With the new pump in
operation this will be overcome, and
as the pump works automatically,
requiring no engineer, but starts
when the water in the stand-pipe
reaches certain low point, and
stops pumping when the pressure
reaches the high point, the supply
will be maintained at all times.

FIRE SCARE AT AUTO
SHOW

There was any amount of excite
ment at the auto show being held
in Elkton armory, on Friday, when
the building became filled with
smoke. All hands turned their at
tentfon to running the twenty or
more cars that were on exhibit out
of the building, and an attempt was
made to turn in an alarm of fire,
only to discover the wires had been
burned off.
Investigation finally revealed the
fact that some careless person, after
washing out a pair OF overalls, had
hung them over a heater pipe in
the basement, where they naturally
caught ON fire and started a blaze
that was threatening disastrtous
results, but fortunately was soon
extinguished without any serious
damage being done.
To carlessness is attributed more
fires than any ether cause, and this
is just an Instance where timely ais
coyeFy prevented one, despite the
earelessness of some thoughtless
person
