Home development in the county,

such as bridge construction and

to put their shoulders TO the wheel to

Forester. Denver, shows a total of
8 0,66S,C0 board feet. making IN

National Forests of the State in
Guiding two, the Teton and Wyo-
ming, reported by District Forester
Rutledge of ogden.
Forestry officials look upon this
increase, not only with pride, but
with great satisfaction from a pro-
fessional standpoint. This cut
amounts to only about 40 percent
of the estimated annual wood
growth in these forests and, accord
ing to those in charge, should be
increased to the point where t clos
ly approaches annual growt' of the
possible yield of the forest is to
be realized. Although such an in
crease, in addition to improving
silvicultural conditions, would ma
terially affect the output and the
financial return of the forests to the
various counties in which they are
located for the maintenance of roads
and schools, it would not in any
way endanger the total stand nor
alter the essential forest conditions
which are important from a stand

William c. Kinkead of Cheyenne
was introduced to speak on the SUBJ
ject of The Party for Young vot-
ers." His address was an admir-
able one and showed clearly why
the new" voter should seek and
find a political home in the Republi-
can party.
Mrs. Bryant B. Brooks Of Casper,
whose husband is a former COVER
nor. delivered a message to Repub-
lican women which was a rare COM
binantion of political acumen and
common sense. The speaker devot-
ed considerable of her time to a
consideration of the home as the
greatest institution in the Republic
and to its importance as a factor
in the social and political lives of
the people, bringing out forcibly
the necessity of fostering and pro-
tecting the home and its sanctity.
Senator John Dillon's address on
the Campaign of 1926 repeated
his former triumphs as an orator
and deep student of the trend of
political affairs. His plea for a
return to sound business sense in
the conduct of the business affairs
of the State of Wyoming and to
eliminate sentimentalism and hys-
terra. was received with loud ap-
plause indicating the hearty en-
dorsement which his hearers gave
to his u~tterances.
Coolidge" State Executive Needed
William F. Gurley, a prominent
Republican of Omaha, Nebraska,
closed the program with an impas-
stoned plea for the injection of
some of the Coolidge brand of Re-
~publicanism into State affairs. He
showed how in National matters
the policy of the President and his
advisers had brought order out of
chaos and put the country on a
sound and economical basis, with
reduced taxes and increased effici-
ency and declared that we must
have the same drastic action in
State business. His showing of
the intimate and personal reasons
for Coolidge success was interesting
and enlightening in the extreme.
