SEEK BRANCH.

Following the appointment Of va-i-
Gus standing committees and the trans.
action Of routine business, the annual
meeting was given over to a discus
sion of ways and means Of obtaining
a branch of the government bank for
the city.
It was agreed that the most deter
mined and concentrated effort ever put
forth to this end will be undertaken
this year. The first step, according
to Mr.. Leighton. will be to assemble
data and statistics showing the need
of a branch here. This will be taken
before officials of the system IN the
South and, if necessary. a representa-
ton of San Antonio bankers will take
the matter to Washington.
Political representatives Of the San
Antonio district in Washington will be
requested to get behind the move, Mr..
Leighton said.

MUSICIAN SINGS
TO CODY RELATIVES

Defeating her song to Mr.. and
Mrs. H. A. Phillips of Cody, the
voice of Miss Helen Talcott, their
niece. of Lincoln, Nebr., came in
clear and strong on Tuesday eve
ming from Station K f A B, at
Lincoln, in a soprano solo. Miss
Talcott took part in a splendid mu-
steal program broadcasted from the
Lincoln station.
Having advance knowledge of the
program in which their niece was
to take part, Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips
had made arrangements to listen
in at the home of Chas. Stump,
who distributes the At-Water Kent
and Federal radios. Mr.. Phillips
states the program was heard very
distinctly and he got the surprise
of his life when the announce
ment came that the solo of their
neice was to be dedicated to her
relatives at Cody.

GARDEN SPOT OF
STATE SAYS PEARSON

That the Cody country is enjoy
ing the most remarkable weather
experienced any where in the state,
is the opinion of l.. w. Pearson,
who last week returned from a visit
of several days to the state capital
and Laramie. Mr.. Pearson states
hat nowhere he has been. are
conditions so attractive as they are
here.
According to Mr.. Pearson, the
southern part of the state is in
the throes of a sever winter, and
all motor traffic has stopped as
standstill. He stated that not a
car did he see on the road along
the Lincoln highway, except those
which have been showed in. No at
tempt is being made to keep that
road open at the present time, and
all motor traffice has stopped as
far north as Casper.
At Laramie Mr.. Pearson spent
several days visiting the state uni
versity. He had planned a trip
to the King Bros. stock ranch nine
miles from Laramie, but due to
road conditions it would have been
necessary to make at least half of
the trip by sleigh. Heavy feeding
is being done by the stockmen of
that section and the weather is
unusually severe.
Park county and especially the
western portion of it, with it's sum-
merry weather, and lack of snow,
is the most ideal winter feeding
place for livestock in the state.
Withe the mercury running down
to cellar locations all around us,
%singularly it has not as yet reach
ed the zero position this season in
and around Cody.

BROOK EGGS
FOR CODY HATCHERY

r. r. Rousseau, assistant state
game warden, announced that there
will arrive in Cody Thursday ESQ.,
900 Brook trout eggs which will
be set at Cody Hatchery. The
eggs were secured by the state de-
partment from Allenstown, Pa.
Mr.. Rousseau states that the
100000 Lochlaven eggs planted in
December. have all Matched out,
and the little fish are coming along
in splendid shape. The new ship
ment of eggs will fill the local
hatchery to capacity.
According to MI. Rousseau, the
Cody hatchery is making a splendid
showing under the supervision of
Adam Majors, and will make a
record this ear for production.
Plans have been worked out for its
operation throughout the entire
year.
The Locklaven, trout will not
be ready for planting in streams
until next fall, but unless some
rearing ponds are provided it will
be necessary to free them next
spring. This is a problem which
must be cared for by the Cody
community, states Mr.. Rousseau, as
the state at the present time has
no funds for building the rearing
ponds.
A suggestion has been made that
home ponds can be made at a very
nominal expense near the hatchery
and in this way, the capacity of the
institution nearly doubled. 1t is
work which will naturally come
under the jurisdiction of the Cody
Rod and Gun club, and it is hop
ed that by early spring, the ponds
will be under construction.

ENFORCEMENT
SUBJECT FOR BIG
UNION SERVICE
Anniversary of 18th Amendment
and Prohibition Observed at
Union Service Presbyterian
Church

The Union service at the Pres
byterian Church Sunday evening.
concentrating the sixth anniver-
sary of the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead act, was very
well attended, and the program
arranged by the ladies of the
w. G. T. U. was very complete and
interesting.
AS a part of the program the
county attorney, ]. E. McElvain,
and Messrs. Dahlem and Hancock
of the sheriffs office, had been
asked to speak, and they gave some
very interesting ideas relative to
law enforcement, especially with re-
CARDS to the enforcement of the
18th Amendment. The county Of
fgicers laid particular emphasis on
the fact that they needed the whole
hearted cooperation of the town
enforcement of the prohibition laws
in Cody. AS long as the town board
will grant licenses to those who
operate places of business where
the sale of moonshine is the prin-
cipal stock of trade, the county
officials can do little or nothing
to improve conditions.
Mr.. McElvain made a very fine
talk to those assembled as did the
men of the sheriff's office, and a
better understanding of the condi-
tions as they exist today was had
as a result of the meeting.
