To Build Rearing Ponds
For Propagation Fish

Tex Kennedy, deputy game and fish
commissioner for Park county, is NOV
ing to his Northfork cabin on Golf
creek this week after spending the
winter in Cody.
Mr.. Kennedy is making plans for
the building of rearing ponds for the
raising of fish on the Northfork, as
well as on the Southfork and other
localities this year. He states that it
is almost useless to plant fish in the
streams as they come from the hatch
cry, as only a small percentage of
them ever reach maturity. The only
sure way of restocking Park county
streams with trout, Mr.. Kennedy says,
is to provide places where they can be
grown to a size where they are able
to take are of themselves before they
are placed in the streams. A rearing
pond has already been constructed on
Kitty creek, which is proving most
satisfactory.
r. R. Rousseau, deputy state game
and fish commissioner, is expected to
be in Cody about March Goth, when
definite plans will be made for the
construction of the rearing ponds.

STATE ADJUTANT MEETS
WITH LOCAL LEGION men

Sameul Chilcote of Casper, state adj
jutant and service officer of the AM
erican Legion for the Department of
Wyoming, was in Cody Saturday and
met with a number of the local Leg
ion men that evening at the Lions
Club rooms.
Mr.. Chilcote assisted in outlining
a definite program of activity for the
local post during the year 1926. 1t
is the intention of the local post to
put over some real work this wear and
it is ready and willing at any time to
cooperate with the commercial and
civic organizations of the town and
lend its assistance in any way toward
the betterment of the community.
Mr.. Chilcote, as state service officer
Is doing a big work in the way of as
sisting disabled ex-service men and
their dependents. All persons having
claims against the government should
communicate with Mr.. Chilcote, and
and everything will be done to bring
about a satisfactory settlement. His
address is P. o. Box 100, Casper.
Wyoming.
Aithoughthe American Legion has
not been noticeably active in this par-
ticular community, as a national Or
ganizaton it is a big power. 1t has
been especially beneficial in aiding
needy ex-service men and their FAM
lies. In cases of disaster. such as
NINE explosions and floods, the Amer
lean Legion has been of great assist
ance IN handling relief work, for the
reason that with their military train
ing they know how to work together
IN places where the absence of dis
ipline would lean only confusion.
The American Legion now has a
membership of more than 100000 and
1t Is expected that within a few years
more than a million men will be af-
hliated with this great organization.

Association, 10 E. Market st.
AS one of the hest established saw
ings and loan companies of Indian

and Loan Association has made
great strides in it's development over
period of thirty-five years.
Located in the heart of the bust
ness district" the company is one
of the most progressive Of the saw
ings and loan associations of Indian
apolis.
Young men should form the habit
of systematic savings" said Yoke.
"A fixed amount added to an ac-
count each month eventually means
nest-egg. In ten years, if only 81
month is saved. 1t will mean an
accumulation of $164.04. Figuring
on 9. basis of SO month. which is
systematically saved. young man
will have $1,64O.43, with dividends
at 6 per cent compounded semi-an-
nually."
Yoke insisted that children should
be taught the value of thrift in order
to encourage them as they grow
older and realize the value Of invest
ments.

BIC DEMAND FOR
CAMP EQUIPMENT,
DECLARES DEALER

Demands for camp equipment are
strong at this season indicating a
large number Of city folks are max

the road pilgrimages of vacations,
according to w. H. Thorp of The
Thorp Awning Shoppe, 2407 College
Ave.
A special feature OF tn company
line Of camping equipment has becn
the Bedroom tent, a specially-built
tent, giving more floor space than
the average tent. This >tent, he
said, is made Of waterproof drill
and can be put up and taken down
in five minutes. 1t weights fifty
pounds. With a folding pole and
metal stakes, convenience in pack
ing the tent. he explained. has made
1t especially attractive to automo-
bilists on vacation trips
when calls are made foR camp
equipment as they have been made
this year, we are certain of an in
creased tendency on the part of
persons in this city and elsewhere
to enjoy vacations on the road" said
Thorp.
There was a time when tents
were bought largely because of de-
mands for shows and stand owners.
Occasionally parents bought tents
for children, but now the demand
shows a tendency on the part OF
automobile owners to obtain tents
as a necessary part of equipment
for vacation trips"
Thorp handles other camp equip
ment, including cots. camp stoves.
folding tables and chairs. Only
tested lines are goods are kept in
stock by his company. he said. and
all camping goods are guaranteed.
The company enjoyed splendid
awning business during the early
summer months and a fairly good
business in that department is be-
ing enjoyed at present. although
most of the awning buying is done
earlier in the season, he said.
