 Philadelphia Convention
 with the national convention being held in Philadelphia on October Il, 12. IS, fl, and 15, it affords an opportunity for Legion naires to witness the Legion oper- ating as real big organization. This, in connection with the Ses- quicentenial exposition, should at- tract the number that the depart ment Philadelphia convention com- mittee would like to the convention. It is planned that it shall be more or less a boosters proposition, boosting our manufacturing indus tries throughout the state by hav- ing representative floats in the parade on October 12. We plan to beat Iowa and it's tall corn. Special trains and special rates will be pro- vided for any number. It is hoped that money can be raised to take various local uniformed organiza- tons to the convention.
 France Travel
 Plans are progressing toward the Second A. F. r. to France ifs 1927. This is to be a sacred pilgrim age when visits will be made to the graves of those of our comrades who fell in action or died in France. Connecticut Legionnaires can well afford to consider a trip of this kind and l hope that our allotment will be taken up by the number who will go from this state.
 Officers School
 "A most successful officers school was held on February 22 at the Harry w. Condon post of Bridgeport. The school was well at tended and the instructors well prepared. It made for a better un- derstanding of our Legion and it should become an annual event.
 New England Conference
 ThSough no fault of the Con- necticut department, the New Eng land conference was indefinitely postponed. It appeared. due to a difference of opinion which existed at the Omaha convention, to be im- possible to get the New England departments together in conference this year.

FEEDING SHEEP

Last week a shipment of five thousand sheep went from the
Powell flat to market. They had been fed there on various
ranches since last October, and were placed on the market in
splendid condition. The arrangements of feeding the sheep
right here at home, has its many advantages, both to the
owner, aid to the farmers who have the forage and grain
to sell: Money which would otherwise have gone to feeders of
the middlewest has been kept at home, the owner has been
able to keep in touch with the condition of stock and is
able to move them to market at the proper time with the
least inconvenience.
What has been accomplished in sheep feeding in the Powell
community this fall. can be done also in every part of the
county. In the Cody community, and on the Northfork and
Southfork hay can be purchased at better prices than on the
Powell flat. There is more grain in this part of the county
than there is on the flat, and from many angles sheep feeding
should be practsed more generally here than it is. Many
of the small farmers have been feeding sheep of their own
for several years, but there are also many of the farmers who
are shipping both hay and grain which could more profitably
be fed right on the ranch.
The finishing of both sheep and cattle is an industry which.
when it is generally followed, will make Park county a much
more prosperous one. Powell is leading the way, and next
year instead of five thousand, there should be a hundred
thousand sheep finished for market right here at home where
they are produced.

WHY NOT THE sHosHoNE

In g. recent speach which Sen. Kendrck is credited with
having made before the Secretary of the Interiors conference
at Washington, he stressed the need for further reclamation
development, especially the development of the Casper Alcova
and Saratoga projects.
Of course it is only natural that Senator Kendrick would
be endeavoring to make himself solid with the people of the
largest city in the state, and to do so must push their pet
scheme, the Alcova project, but can any sound-minded man or
woman explain the practicainess of developing a new project
which is said to be little better from a soil standpoint than
the Deavor and Frannie unites of the Shoshone, and permit
to lie idle the investment which has already been placed on
the Shoshone project.
Can anyone offer one valid excuse for the development
of an entirely new project while that vast reservoir of water
behind the Shoshone dam remains unused from year to year,
and the huge hydro electric plant at the dam, electric energy,
which has been provided for reclamation construction be unused
and going to waste so to speak.
We have a deep respect for Senator Hendricks business abIi-
ty, and knowing that he is fully acquainted with the condi-
lions as they exist on the Shoshone project, we cannot believe
his sincerity when he is working for the development of a
project upon as yet there has been no money expended, in
preference to & project upon which more than a million dollars
of reclamation funds are idly involved.

A LESSON TO EVERY DRIVER

We doubt if there is an auto driver who can fail, if he
so desires. to get a good object lesson from the accident
which occurred on the Northfork road last week which re-
suited in the death of a little girl
The accident, as so many serious ones do, occurred on a very
fine piece of road. On a road which would be ordinarily classed
as one without the slightest hazard. Just how the accident
happened no one will know except those who were operating
the cars, but no one woulo be so unjust as to accuse anyone
of criminal intent in the smashup.
1t was Just one of those little incidents which confront
the auto driver daily; a moment or two when good judgment and
proper consideration OF the safety of Others is thrown to the
winds, with the result that an innocent party must pay the
price. Seriously, it should be a lesson to all, to drive carefully.

his own scales. weighs his own coal, and the purchaser ac-

The practice as followed at the present time is all very
good, but it is lacking as far as good business goes. The
purchaser many times is dissatisfied with the weight given him,
and the practice places the dealer under the ban of suspicion,
which is far from pleasant.
The town board is planning the installation of municipal
scales, which will be carefully tested as to correctness at all
times. A small weigh-charge will be made, and the project
is one which should be seIf-supporting.
