MAY DAY, MOTHERS DAY, MEMORIAL DAY

No other month has been so much written about as the merry
month of May" 1t might be called the magic month, for legend and
tradition connect many a tale of romance with this last month of
spring. Earth and sky seem kindiest then, sunlight never brighter,
and all life pushing upward.
Strange beliefs have from olden times belonged to the first day
OF May. Then the maid may find her lovers face in the quetness of
hidden pools, and the dew of May Day holds a fairy beauty. Around
the May Pole laughing children dance, hardly knowing that their
festival began as a religious rite, as a dance of thankfulness for life
renewed with springtime.
Then the end of May and the nations tribute to its soldier dead.
In the great national cemeteries Of the land where sleep the dead
of three wars, the rows Of graves becom a bright stretch of flow
ers, fresh cut. In remoter places men, women and children pause to
remember those who gave life in defense OF a country that shelters
them still. In many a quiet graveyard throughout the land, away
from cities and parades, the pomp OF ceremony. wherever may be
found the grave of one who wore the Blue or the Gray of the Kahki,
flowers rest and prayers ascend.
Between Mays merry entrance and its departure in the tribute
and remembrance of Memorial Day. comes Mothers Day. The day
is worthly chosen. and worthy thrice over they whose day it IS
our Mothers.

TO THINK

That your city is a beautiful and
thriving city?
That it possesses every clement
that goes to make a happy and pros

That it is endowed with natures
gifts to the greatest degree.
That your pathway is not strewn
with roses, yet it is one of the favored
spots of nature.
That it is a city of substantial
homes, a fine business section, excel

That the very oxygen you breath
is surcharged with hospitality.
That it should be an ideal habita-

supreme.
That it is a city with a past, a pres

That the past is gone.
That the present is here.
That the future is ahead.

A CRIMINAL

Jesse Britain narrowly escaped a serious accident while re-
turning from Ralston late Saturday evening. There were three men
and two women in the car. They overlook another car and attempt
ed to pass, but each time they turned out the other car would cut
in ahead and not allow them to go by. This happened sew
eral times over a distance of ten miles and on one occasion Mr.
Brittains car was crowded off the grade and it was only by the
narrowest margin that they escaped turning over into the ditch,
which would have resulted in serious injury and possible death to
occupants of the car.
Finally the leading car stopped on a culvert in such a way as
to block the progress OF the Britain car, and the language they
used before the ladies was disgraceful. Mr.. Britain took the license
number of the car and upon arriving in Cody notified the sheriff,
but somehow they managed to slip away and leave town. The
car is owned by a resident of one of the lower basin towns and the
matter is being investigated further.
If a man will risk his own life by foolish recklessness. whether
he be drunk or sober-let him go his best. But when he deliberately
endangers the life OF others-then it is time that something be done
about it.

SPARE THE WILD FLOWERS

"Spare the wild flowers is a timely suggestion which should
be passed along by the people OF Wyoming to tourists and visitors
who will soon be hunting the beauty spots in the mountains for their
camps and picnics. With such a profusion Of blossoms as
that which adorns the mountains and plains in gorgeous coloring
it seems almost unnecessary to think Of picking them sparingly. yet
some varities have already become almost extinct because Of the
greedy way in which plants were torn out by the roots.
Some states are passing laws protecting certain species. Col
orado has a law that limits the plucking of Columbine, the state
flower, TO twenty blossoms. on roadside or open land and public
domain. 1t has become common practice TO raid the gulchcs and
glades where this flower thrives. and carry away blooms by the tub

is stronger than a law Of this sort. which is easily violated, and the
way to arouse sentiment is through education. Here is a bit of
service that may be done in any mountain community. Create a

Mail Order Merchants
Find Good Excuses

The Riverton Review prints an il
Illuminating little story illustrating the
big difference between the home
town merchants and the mail order
magnate when it comes right down
to doing something for the town.
Over at Arnold, Nebraska, says the
Review, a new Baptist church is un-
der construction and nearly complet-
ed. The pastor felt that. as business
competitors of the business men of
Arnold, the mail order house of
Montgomery Ward G. Co. should do
their part in supporting the erection
of the church and took occasion to
write the company, asking them for
a donation. He received the following
reply:
eve have a fund for donations to
the various charitable organizations
in our territory. We receive so many
requests for donations and contribu-
tons that it is necessary to limit
the amount of our gifts.
"Our records show that we recent
ly made a donation to one of the
churches in your city, and we do not
feel that we can contribute to more
churches at this time.
although we are not helping you
just now, we do encourage work such
as you are doing. Please accept our
best wishes for your continued sue
cess. Yours very truly, Montgomery
Ward & Co."
Upon RECEIPT of the above letter
the pastor set out to see who the
lucky recipient of the mail order
house might be. He visited all the
protestant churches without success,
none of them ever having received a
donation from the above people to
their knowledge.
The mail order houses, says the
Review, certainly get their share, but
give nothing in return except thanks
but it does not build churches,
schools, roads, pay taxes, nor help in
any a with the thousand and one
things that go to make a better and
more prosperous community in which
to live. Better buy your daily needs
from the home merchants, who sup
port the schools, churches, etc. You
keep your dollars at home. and in this
way they are eventually returned to
you.

A MATTER OF INTELLIGENCE

THE YARDS

This is the time of year when nurseries send abroad their in
triguing catalogues and fire home owners with the ambition for
beautifying their premises. 1t is a splendid work. 1t is really too
bad more people do not see the advantage and the beauty and great
a few flowers and shrubs and trees can make.
Many people beautify their front yards and let their back yards
remain ugly and unattractive, when a few dollars worth of shrubs
and flowers would transform them. However. the front ward is
the first responsibility. 1t is that the passerby sees first and last.

HER SEX CAUSED LOSS OF TITLES
If She'd Been Boy, British Woman Would Have Had 12

London - If the Duches of Montrose, one of the wealthiest women in Great Britain, had been a boy she would have been the holder of ten British and two Scottish titles, including that of Scotland's premier duke,
 The Duhcess was Lady Mary Douglas Hamilton before her mar riage to the Marquis of Graham who succeeded to the dukedom on the death of his father, and there- fore is now the wife as well as the daughter of a duke, her father having been the Duke of Hamilton.
 Land owned by the Duchess in- cludes Arran, the widest and most picturesque island on the Clyde, and the Easton Park estate in Suffolk, and rentals from which amount to 27,00O pounds a year.
 The Duchess was one of the first women to undertake the duties of master of the hounds and is an enthusiastic deer-stalker, having as many as 20 stags to her credit in one season. She Is a bold horse woman, and Is unusually popular among all classes in the hunting field.

The modernist trend in art is re- flected in many of the new dress patterns. Silks and chiffons printed in daring, futuristic designs have re- placed, to certain extent, the more conventional flower and dotted motifs. In woolens, also. we find the use of diagonal and geometric figures, this type of design being particularly favored for tweed top coats and sports costumes.
 While the pattern of the tweed coat sketched today is slightly sug- gestiye of modernist art, it is by no means extreme and is an excellent medium for rough, informal type of fabric. The background of the material is a soft, light tan and the stripes are in brown and copper tones.
 Contrast is afforded by the long collar and cuffs of beaver and the side panels on the lower portion. Here the stripes are used vertically and the pockets trimmed with nar- row bands of plain brown cloth.
 The hat is dark brown suede, trimmed with a pleated gros grain band in front.
 The tan wooIen of this top coat is striped in brown and copper tones. Tbe collar and cuffs arc beaver.

 By this gradual increase the per son develops in his body a tolerance to the pollen and resistance against it, so that by the end of the treatment, If 1t is successful, he does not feel any i'll effects from breath ing the polle in the air. Treatment during the symptoms, as has been said, is not as successful as that given before the time when the symptoms come on.
 It has been found that many per sons are sensitive not only to the pollens of plants, but react with symptoms of asthma to the eating of protein substances from various foods.
 In such instances, the physician also makes c skin test of the pa tient to determine his sensitivity to food substances, and the patient will gain much relief by avoiding those foods in his diet after the exact sub stance has bsen determined.
