LIVE ON THE OCEAN WAVE!
iObsCryed BY Frederick COoney)

II have some wonderful news.
Title! Clifford-my sweetie, you
know--has Joined the navy, and Is
petty officer already! Isn't that
wonderful"
AZ suppose so, Lois" said Tillie.
you say he's a petty officer? Does
he wear petty coat?"
mo he wears those cute sailor
middies. He gave me one, and when
I put 1t on, actually felt sea-
sick"
II suppose he's an old salt by
this time" unused Tillie.
p "salt?' snapped Lois. why.
should say not! II he's as sweet on
the ship as he Is to me he's an old
sugar! Clifford knows all about the
ship already. He told me the names
Of the ropes and things-let's see
now. there's the anchor--thats the
thing they throw overheard when
ever they want to throw the ship IN
low gear; then there's the funnel
they use that to fill bottles with
and there's the jib-boom. | suppose
that's a big gun. Oh. yes, and the
spanker."
Whom do they spank?" demand
ed Title.
THE Boatswain's mate, / think
from what Clifford said"
Gracious! Does the boatswain
have his wife on board?"
II guess so. There's lots OF in"
teresting things on a ship. There's
the stern-and Clifford said all the
officers are stern faced men--and
there's the bridge"
"A bridge on a ship!" exclaimed
Tillie. What's the other end fast
ened to? Clifford must have been
kidding you. What kind Of a petty
officer is he?"
Hes a quarter-master."

of about $50 clock stars. These are
stars whose positions are know to a
high degree Of precision and whose
apparent places from day to day are
given in the American Ephermeris
and are therefore readily obtain

meridian within 20 degrees of the
zenith are included In order that

raised on stable areas in some
cases but most of The rest OF the
products arc grown on one family
tracts Of small acreage.
II Is rather surprising to one who
has given scant attention to farm
ing that hay Is one OF the most
valuable crops grown In tho state,
Ordinarily Il runs second to toboc-
co. In 1875 the value OF the hay
crop was considerable above that
OF tobacco, state board figures CIV
ing the value OF hay raised IN the
state at sil,0S0,o0o, in addition 20
sloS,0oO worth OF wild hay har-
vested, II is figured that the total
crop worth for 1875 was sSo.4al,-
o0O. In this amount Is included the
hay mentioned above, s76Sl,0o
worth OF tobacco, five million dol
lars worth OF potatoes, three mil
lion dollars worth OF corn, and over
two million dollars worth nt apps~s.
siSS,0o0 worth OF peaches ware
raised and the remainder r. ihe
crops were represented by sman
amounts.
In order 10 raise so much hay,
however, there were used $50. 900
acres, but $4,000 acres were plant,
ed 10 tobacco. In addition, the yield
OF tobacco fcll off to less than half
that OF the average for the last
five years.
The risks Of farming on an eN-
tensive scale with valuable and
delicate crops, such as tobacco are
evidently not to be lightly UNDER
taken by one possessed OF few cash
resources, better to let the land go
to hay and sell to the ncighboring
dairy farmer. But, the remunera-
ton on tobacco during a good year
is correspondlngly high, and the
profits greater than other crops.
We are seeing the development
Of many small farms about the
country toward which those who
have recently come 10 these shores
are drifting. They are getting
cheap land and living a life with
which they are familiar and which
/ they seem to like. We do not know
of any abandoned farm census in
the state. but believe, from the
places which have come under our
observation that they are fewer
than they were ten years ago. that
many that have lain idle for years
are again being developed and
made TO bear food stufTs for man
and beast.

A DOUBLE WARNING

Now that there are some indica-
tions that the snow will stay upon
the ground for while It IL time
for the annual warning, to parents
and 10 mobilists--watch for
sliding accidents.
At this writing there had been
no collisions between sleds and au-
tomobiles, but. with conditions as
they are, 1t is quite possible that
one will take place at any moment
unless the greatest care is eXer-
cised by drivers, or children are
kept off of hills where there arc
likely TO be automobiles. The po-
lice department has annually set
aside certain streets where sliding
may be enjoyed, with adequate
warnings TO drivers to watch for
youngsters on sleds. On other
streets some of them more tempt
Ing to those who love the swift
rush over the hard packed course,
sliding is prohibited because of the
Danger from automobiles. usually
traversing intcrsccting streets. Dc
spite the efforts made to restrain
the coasters from using these hill
side thoroughfares, however, there
may often be found Il few who
have yielded to temptation and
have placed themselves in great
danger Of mortal injury. Another
source Of danger is formed by the
children Of Il household sliding
down q bank or garage entrance
In front OF their own house, across
the sidewalk and into the street.
The sleds appear before u driver
with great suddenness, so quickly
that they are unable to stop on the
slippery road and it is a miracle
that many children are not killed
In this manner every year
An automobilist may travel along
a road or street, running at right
angles to an incline and. by eXcr-
cising the greatest caution at in
tersecting ways avoid hitting Il
sled, but that same sled might hit
the auto, which would be just as
harmful to the slider as If the re.
verse happened, 1t is a good plan
for a driver to stop before crossing
an intersection in a dangerous dis
trict and look over the incline
above very carefully. He may oftcl
avoid an accident in this manner
But the best plan is for parent
to see that the child does not tlk'
his sled from the house before i
is known Just what he is going t.
do with 1t and where he is going
II his intentions arc 10 slide whcr
there is no danger from autos, Al"
there is some guarantee that he
going to oarry ont those intentions
we'll and good. II not, see that h
remains indoors. Above all things
beware of front yard Siding, th"r
is more threat in that than in slid
ing in a place where an autoiSt ha

C%ODY-CORBETT ROAD
NEARING COMPLETION

The Cody-Corbett road begins to
look like a highway, and with the
placing of the steel last week on
the bridge across Sage creek, the
outlook of having the new road for
use by the first of the year looks
very promising. This has been a
good sized road project, entailing
the expenditure of about sixty-five
thousand dollars. and when it is
completed the people of Powell and
Cody are to enjoy a fine automobile
connection.
Engineer Hayden, who has super
vision of the road work for the
state highway commission, states
that the rock crusher is being
placed at the present time and the
graveling of the farther end of the
project will start soon. The steel
has been placed on the abutments,
and the riveting is going forward
this week. The Taggart Construc-
ton company, which has the dirt
construction work on the road, is
now working near the I. N. Nc
Guffey ranch, and will have COM
pleted the grade for the new road
within the next month or six

HARRISON ORCHESTRA
GOING ON EASTERN TOUR

On Wednesday evening of next
week, September LIST, Pat Harrison's
famous Cowboy orchestra will give
its farewell dance in Cody, and
leave soon after for the east where
they will work this winter. Mr..
Harrison has signed a contract
with m of the popular cabarets
of Minneapolis for a term and
plans 10 take his jazzy boys around
a circuit before locating there for
the winter months.
In losing the Harrison orchestra,
Cody loses a group of young men
who have proved themselves one
of the most popular musical organ
izations within the Big Horn basin.
Under the guidance and direction
of Mr.. Harrison, who is an accom-
plished musician OF high order. the
orchestra has developed until today
it is rated second to none in the
northern part of the state or Mon
tana. 1t is with regret that bus
mess reasons made it imperative
that they seek a wider field.
The orchestra as it leaves Cody
is made up of Mr.. Harrison, Jay
Bennett, Raymond Ahlberg, Melvin
Gay. Maurice Starr, who has been
identified with the orchestra for a
year has severed his connection
with the organization and will re-
main in Cody where he has resided
for the past fifteen years.
