HECTIC DAYS

Doctors all over the country are finding
that heart disease is steadily increasing
and is year by year causing a growing
number OF deaths.
Latest statistics show that more than
200 people die each week in London alone
from heart disease, while the total num-
Der of deaths in the whole country from
the same cause now lumber nearly 81. coo

numbered 60. 900.
Women are afflicted in greater number
than men.
Rheumatic fever has always been the
chief cause of heart disease" said a Lon.

DASH TO BUSINESS
THE explanation is ME increased rate
at which we live today in comparison
with twenty years ago. The wear and
tear of the machine is greater now than
it ever was. The dash to business in
the morning the days work, the journey
home, and then, perhaps, a dinner party
or a dance or a theatre all these, crowd
ed into one day try the heart.
"Nowadays the average women does
as much in one day as she used to to 30
in three or four.
Years ego a Qill who was going to a
dance in the evening used to rest all the
afternoon before changing into her dance
frock. To day she does hard days work
first, PUSHES home, filings on a dance
frock, dashes through dinner, and goes
to a dance.
Men. too. live far more s~trenuously
than they used tosdo. They over exercise
to keep themselves supposedly fit for still
harder WORK. y DomerarG Dolly Chr0-

{. EMERSON
AND STANSBURY HERE

Frank c. Emerson, choice of the
Republican convention at Casper
for the nomination for governor,
and John S. Stansbury, a Republi-
can candidate at the August Pri-
mary for the nomination to Secre-
tary of state, were Cody visitors
on Thursday, taking their lunch
here with a number of business
men and meeting many of the vot-
ers of the county seat.
Messrs. Emerson and Stansbury
are making a tour of Wyoming be-
fore the primary in the interest
of their candidacy, attending the
~woolgrowers' meeting at Their
mopolis last week. They left Thurs
day afternoon for Yellowstone park,
planning to exit at the south en-
trance and meet their friends down
in the southwest corner of Wyo-
ming.
In these gentlemen the state has
two business men who are in every
way qualified to serve in the offices
they seek. Mr.. Emerson is a resi-
dent of Worland, but was called
to Cheyenne by Gov. Robert Carey
and appointed state engineer, a
position which he has filled with
credit to himself and honor to the
state. He is a clean-cut man, well
versed in business affairs, and one
held in the highest esteem by those
who know him. Mr.. Stansbury re-
sides at Douglas. and has a state
wide reputation as a splendid fell
low. He has made a success of his
W business and received the
hearty endorsement of the Republi-
cans at Casper. Mr.. Stansbury has
a strong following over the state

retary-of-state's job.

CODY CANAL LEVY
ONE DOLLAR PER ACRE
For First Time in Fourteen Years
Assessment is Brought Down
to Dollar Mark-Indebt-
edness Paid Off

For the first time in fourteen
years, or not since 1912, has the
levy of the Cody Canal Irrigation
year when at a meeting held July
3rd. the 1926 assessment was fixed
at s1.00 per acre of each and every
acre of land lying under this dis
trict. There is at the present time
but a one thousand dollar indebt-
edness against the irrigation dis
trict, and it will be liquidated by
the one dollar levy. "a
The administration Of the Cody
Canal, since it was taken v er by
the Cody Canal Irrigation district,
has been unusually efficient. Dur
ing that period practically all of
the improvements has been of a
permanent nature, and the canal
has gradually become one of the
best and most substantial carriers
for irrigation in the state.
Previous to 1914 there was an
nually a great expense in the main
tenance of the flume about Red
Hill. At that time a bond issue
was sold and q tunnel constructed
which has proved itself a good
investment. Each year concrete
~headgates have been constructed
and the dam at the headgate has
been enlarged and improved until
1t is a most permanent structure.
The canal today is in splendid con-
dition.
Last year the levy made to cover
the overhead and maintenance was
$1.48 per acre. Included in this
budget was an Indebtedness of &c.
500, which has been paid off dur
ing the last year, so that the
actual cost of operating the canal
last year was in the neighborhood
of rs cents per acre.
According to the plans of the
present directors 1t is not the plan
Of the district to make the levy
less than $1.OO per acre, but a sur
plus fund is to be created in fu-
ture years to safe guard the pro-
perty owners under the ditch from
unusual expenses which may pre-
sent themselves from time to time.
With a ditch such as the Cody
canal, fully paid for, and the o.
and M. down to a minimum of one
dollar an acre, the land under this
project becomes very desirable, and
takes on a greater value than it
had during the veal when the dis
trict carried an indebtedness.

THREAT OR PROMISE
JUDGE DON'T KNOW
Judge Metz Hitting Bootleggers
Hard-Closes Joint Near
~Thermopolis

A short time ago Judge Metz
received an anonymous letter, with
a clipping showing the picture and
an account of the recent murder
ing of a prosecuting attorney in
Chicago, who had been active in
the prosecuting of boot-leggers and
others. The letter was mailed to
the Judge from somewhere in the
Basin, and the address printed in
lead pencil. He is wondering if
it is a threat or a promise,
but isn't worrying much.
Court has been in session for
the last week at Thermopolis, at
which time Judge Metz ordered the
paddock placed on the Moonlight
ranch, which has been a notorious
cabaret and liquor joint for some
time. 1t is located outside the city
limits of the hot springs town
and was operated by P. A. Tucker,
formerly Of Greybull.
With the dockets well cleaned up
in the several courts of the Basin,
and the attorneys all anxious to
get away for the summer vacation
the District court will probably
recess until early fall.

This has formed a peace time
army larger than the military fore
es we modified in the World wal
of 100000 public officials, en-
ployees and pensioners.
THAT army contains one-twelfth
as many persons as are engaged in
gainful production in America and
to maintain it costs $500, 900, 900
per year. one-half of the nations
tax bill.
MAY it not be that the chief
reason for the high cost of govern
ment is too much government"
Governor Christianson declared
that the reason state expenditures
continue to increase, while federal
expenditures r being reduced, is
that while the federal activities are
controlled through a system which
gives the president full power over
every department. the typical state
government leaves nowhere ade-
quate power and practical means to
stop expenditures"
Governor Christianson declared
that If a state department asked
for 10 high-priced automobiles, it
was likely they would be allowed
10 low-priced machines unless their
demand exhibited an absolute nee
essity-"this system stops the leaks
of waste"
ut is my conviction that, unless
the tendency toward increased tax
alton in this country is soon check
ed. the burden will seriously i'm
pair the prosperity Of the people,"
Governor C~hristianson said, citing
that taxes have quadrupled in the
past decade.
There is a limit to the load the
people can bear. There are grave
social consequences which may
threaten the superstructure of civil
ization."
Solidarity of states and the ur-
gent iced of reduction of state
government expenses and debts
were stressed at the opening of the
first governors conference, aver
held in the West, by three COVER
nors. representing the West South
and Northwest.
Another speaker, a business man,
Walter B. Brockway of Portland,
Me-, analysed the problems of state
government finances from the view
point of a layman.
In her address of welcome, Gov
ernor Ross urged that the confer
ence promote more sympathetic
understanding and tolerance be-
tween states"
Governor John w. Martin of Flo
rida, who gave the response de-
clared Americans must have pride
in the nation, and all it's sections of
the United States will retain it's
place as a great country"

Governor Ross in her address,
said:
ut is with real and unalloyed
pleasure, l assure you, that I ex-
tend to o today. our most well
come guests, greetings on behalf
of the people of Wyoming. From
the moment of my first appearance
at the conference in Maine last year
1 have cherished the hope that
acceptance of the invitation which

me opportunity to greet this assem-
bly, of governors on the soil of my
