da, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts,,

an extra lady was invited for the
extra girl.
Mrs. Stanley Landgren acted as

A. p. Libby had been asked to make
the p%rinciapal address and her talk
was an unusually good one. Mrs.

young people and the opportunity
to speak to the young ladies of
Cody was one which she made the
most of. Mrs. P. E. Wells was a
guest of the Camp Fire girls and
made a short talk.

KOENIG FAMILY LEAVE
MONDAY FOR CHICAGO

The Cody community feels a dis
tinct loss with the departure on
Monday of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Koe-
mig and family who go to Chicago
to make their home. Robt., the
eldest son, will remain in Cody I'M
til the close Of the school year.
Bill Koenig, who has spent the last
year in Cody, accompanied the fam
lily east.
Mr.. Koenig first came to Cody
eighteen years ago as a young man,
and since that time has been taking
an active part in the development
of the community. He served the
town in a creditable name on the
city council, and also on the school
board, and as a member of several
of the civic organizations took a
leading part in the activities of the
community. Both he and his
wife and children will be keonly
missed in Cody, and if at any time
it seems advantageous for them to
return west, they will be given
cordial welcome here.
Owing to their hurried plans to
get away, it was impossible for the
Cody club to hold the farewell
dinner as planned, but as a mark
of the esteem in which Mr.. Koenig
was held by the members of the
club he was presented with a beau
tiful and serviceable travelling bag.

DEPARTMENT GETS
TWO CALLS THIS WEEK

So far this week, the Cody fire
department has received two calls,
one to extinguish a fire sweeping
across the high school lawn, where
the spreading of anu was ablaze,
and on this morning to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Purvis in
the northeast part of town.
The fire at the school house was
the result of the careless throwing
of a lighted cigarette into the dry
straw. With a strong wind from
the west it took about an hour
to completely e%xtinguish the smold-
ering fires.
At the Purvis home this norm
ing. the wall board had caught
fire from an overheated stove. and
the flames had run up into the
space in the roof. The blaze was
easily controlled and resulted in lit
tie damage to the home, all the
destruction being in the kitchen.

JOHN BROOKS JAILED
FOR PETTY THIEVING

AS the result of an attachment
suit started by Albert Felsheim.
John Brooks is in the county Jail
and unless he changes his mind
with regards to the ownership of
considerable property, he is likely
to be there for nearly a year.
Brooks owed Felsheim a board
bill. which the latter proceeded to
collect through attachment. When
Sheriff Dahlem took over his prop
erty, he found a great many articles
which led him to believe that Brooks
possibly had not come by them
honestly. A little investigation soon
showed hal many of the tools had
been taken from the Brundage HARD
ware company, and to keep Eel
sheim from securing the property,
Brooks denied ownership of all
of it.
He was given a hearing Satur-
day, and things looked very bad
for him, although he maintained
his innocence. He was offered &
chance to plead guilty to petty lar
grand larceny. but this he refuses
to do, and at the present time he
is bound over to the district court
on a grand larceny charge. Should
Brooks wish a jury trial his case
will not come up until another year.

KIRPATRICK'S RIFLE
SEEMS HARD TO RETAIN

For the third time John Kirk
patrick of Skull creek has recov-
cred his rifle by process of law, it
seeming to be the most transient
property owned by him. Entering
the Keystone barn Sunday, there
lay his rifle, alongside of a suit
case owned by a young man by
name of Albert Thornton. An in
vestigation disclosed hal Thornton
had just recently arrived from
Billings. driving in a team and
wagon belonging to Chas. Helgeson,
and coming via the Clarks fork and
Skull creek. .
At first the lad, who is but six
teen years of age claimed he had
not been to the Kirkpatrick ranch,
but had purchased the gun from
a party he met on the road. Later,
however, after Sheriff Dahlem had
matched tracks leading from the
road to the Kirkpatrick cabin with
those made by Thornton's shoes,
the boy changed his mind and ad-
mitted he had stopped there and
secured a lunch. but still maintain
ed he had not taken the rifle, but
purchased it further down the road.
The sheriff and cou nty attorney
made quite an investigation of the
boy, who previously resided at Bill
lings, found him to have a general
good reputation, and he was per-
mitted to, go free. In searching the
lads suitcase, a Bible which had
been placed there by the boys
mother had considerable to do with
the action of the officers, who felt
that the boy had not been entirely
without good influences, and that
he had many chances of making
good.

NO ADVERTISING
SIGNS ON HIGHWAY

Through the cooperation of the
Bureau of Roads and the American
Association of State Highway Of
ficials, an interstate system of high
way marking has been adopted and
the roads of Wyoming are to be
designated by this uniform system
this year. The signs will be stan
dard in shape, color and placing
of direction, as will the caution
signs and any other route markers
which are to be used.
To make this new system of
marking, the most efficient no other
signs are to be permitted along the
right-of-ways of the state roads.
and those now erected must be re
moved before May LIST, this year,
or they will be torn down and
destroyed by the highway depart
ment. This new order is in accord
andce with public sentiment, for
the motorist for several years has
been at a disadvantage due to the
numerous signs, which are confus-
ing.
The highway department has a
legal notice in this issue of the
paper, and r. L. Silver. district
engineer for this part of the state,
states he will appreciate a prompt
response to the new regulations.

THE FORMULA OF SUCCESS

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
One ship drives east, and another
drives west,
With the self-came winds that blow.
TITS the set of the sails and not the
gales
Which tells us the way to go.
Like the waves of the sea are the
waves of fate
AS we voyage along thru life.
IT'S the set of the soul which de.
cides its goal
And not the calm or the strife.
