When Iowa was hit so hard in the
neighboring state to the west, and the
same latitude, should not also have
been hit. The states where farmers
MIXED cows are the ones that came
through in best shape. Milking is
not done extensively in Nebraska
likely on par with Iowa in that re-
spect, so it is very possible that the
bank guarantee law has helped Neb-
raska. 1t has stood the test of Is
years which is some recommendation.
The reason that there is more need
for a bank guarantee than for the
merchant, farmer, or printer to be
guaranteeing the acts of his neigh
Dor in the same line of business, is
because people deposit their money
in banks and must of necessity have
confidence in the banker, rely upon
his honesty, integrity, and ability
whether or not they be privileged to
examine his books and know just how
he is conducting his business. The
banks are licensed or given a charter
by the state, examined by the state
at intervals, but even at that if the
state deposits any money in the banks
it asks for security. The state is
certainly in better position than the
individual to know what condition the
bank is in and yet it asks for added
security of deposits. If the state is
entitled to added guarantee it would
seem that the individual should also
be entitled to it. Folks are not de-
posting money with the merchant
farmer or printer, hence not so much
need of guarantee there.
Likely there are some bankers who
might be better sheep herders". A
bank guarantee law would help to
weed them out For instance il
there was one such "sheep herder'
banker in Pine county and the other
bankers who were conducting legi-
innate and conservative business were
noting his doubtful business methods
and knew that it would spell ruin
sooner or later, with the result that
it would cost all the other bankers
some real gilt, it would make them
bear down on the state banking de-
partment to such an extent that there
would be thorough examining with nc
ifs and ands about it. In the long
run the people would pay for the
guaranteeing, but those who have

No economic necessity exists for
establishment of this road.
Three roads already entering
Yellowstone National Park through
Montana.
Region to be penetrated by pro-
posed road is the last virgin wild
area reached by pack outfits in the
United States. Already used by pack
outfits and region increasing in i'm
portan ce for that purpose an
nually; and interest of public will
be best served in maintaining this
area for that purpose.
Entirely out of line with prin-
ciples of economy as enunciated by
President Coolidge who is opposing
every unnecessary expenditure of
public funds.
New road must be built largely
above the timber line, difficult of
construction; where even the sum-
mer period ice and snow prevails.
Projected road does not tie con
v~eniently into any standard or Ma
tional highway north or northeast
of Cooke City.
lnsurmountable difficulties will
be encountered in construction of
proposed road, especially in the re-
gion of Beartooth Plateau, and ap-
preparation sought as this time ia
believed totally inadequate, probab-
ly building only a small portion of
projects, thus running cost into
millions in final completion.
Construction of this road would
furnish another entrance into Vel
lowstone National Park, now al
ready adequately served at -four
other well established trunk line
points.
Building of this road would al
most parallel another entrance into
park.
Estimated that new. road would
be open to traffic on an average of
only about two months annually.

Wyoming Towns
Oppose Montana's
Proposed Road
Continued from page y

some measure the Cody entrance.
Members of the club expressed re-
greet that action was necessary in
this particular matter in view of
the long standing friendships ex-
listing between the citizens of Park
county and those in Red Lodge and
other Montana towns, it was held
that the ground was well taken,
and while it might appear selfish
upon the part of Cody and the in
terests of other towns in Wyoming,
no Interior motive prompts the
action which has been taken. Other
cities in Wyoming have made SIM
liar protests to Wyoming members
in Congress and word had been
received from them that action on
the proposed road has been delayed
for the present session which closes
this week.
In asking for the special appro-
priation for the new road, Montana
is asking for a sun equivalent to
that spent upon all park entrances
in many years. 1t is argued that
there is positively no necessity for
a second eastern entrance to the
park and that the million dollars
and pre- which it would take to
build a road over the Beartooth
mountains may well be spent by
the federal government in improv-
ing the present entrances to Yellow
stone park, which are located in
Montana. Idaho and Wyoming.
The meeting was well attended
and aside from other routine bust
s which came before the club,
d. W, G%reenburg of Casper, secre-
tary of Wyoming Motor Club, ad-
dressed the members on the work
of the statewide motor organization
and urged upon all members to
renew their memberships for. 1927
and made an appeal for new menu
bers also.
In view of the Importance and
the general interest taken in the
controversy over the proposed Red
Lodge-Cooke City road, the road
committee of the club prepared a
formal statement of facts which it
is deemed appropriate the public
should be informed on and we pub
fish the same herewith:
Protest and Statement of Facts
1t has come to our attention that
Congress is now considering an ap-
preparation of approximately ST.
100000 of. federal funds to be used
in the construction of what is
known as the Red Lodge-Cooke
City. Montana, road, a large pro-
portion of which will lie wholly
within the Shoshone national forest
in Wyoming.
Believing that said project at this
time is of no economic value or
necessity; that IL such road is built
under the U. S. Bureau of roads.
che funds necessarily be drawn
from the U. S. Forest Service; that
proposed established project now
within the National Forest will saf-
fer as a result, and that such mon.
les should be kept available for
projects already established and
surveyed first.
We vigorously protest against
the use of such funds, or any other
federal funds on the proposed Red
Lodge-Cooke City project, and ear
nestly and respectfully ask the Wy
oming members in Congress to on
pose the establishment of said road
now outlined, and offer briefly
of the reasons for said pro-
test:
Necessity for bringing present
projects leading into Yellow
stone National Park up to standard
before starting new projects.
Projected road lies largely within
county, Wyoming, and would
serve only a very sparse population
and would remotely attract new

And now the disappearance OF the
good old American family, the kind
that had children, lived in house,
kept dog, had lawn to cut In
summer and a sidewalk to shovel
off in winter, furnace to bank, and
sundry other things-now they say
that all this is on the wane on &C

Young men, we are told, won't run
lawn mowers, fix furnaces, shovel
walks, revamp screens, or do any of
the odd jobs that have always been
looked after by pater families.
Both Sexes Blamed
The declaration comes down to
even such a plain statement as this:
I'm the national passion for shirk-
ing domestic duty, the male has
been just as slothful as the female. ,
There is little doubt of the ten

couples have always had houses.
Young mothers have cooked and
sewed, and young fathers have cut

Circumstances Rule
Why should one generation make
such a difference? Surely young
people cannot change so completely
and break away from all biological
tradition if circumstances beyond
their control were not directly re-
sponsible for their new standards.
We cannot blink the fact that
times have changed, not people. I
know the struggle that many young
couples are up against. They could
not possibly maintain house or a
family. am only excusing the ones
who have neither because it is an
economic impossibility. For those
who prefer luxury without RESPONSE
bility I have no word. But I know
too many fine young men, and
young women, to let the accusation

We hear a great deal today about
the hardships of women in business;
how, in order to be called success
full, they must make good a hun
dredfold more than men in the-same
positions. We hear dramatic tales
of impositions put upon women by
male superiors; of males who take
credit for a woman employees

me that there are many more work
ing women who complain as did

BY ALLENE SUMNER

Just a handful of thoughts perco-
lated on the morning car ride. I
carried with me Storm Jameson's
new novel, 1.-THE Lovely Ship" 1t
is no reflection on the book that I
only read page or so. Even the
greatest book ever written could
not have really competed with the
rainwet world outside the car
window. Scarlet winged blackbirds
flew up singing from swampy beds
of arum lily and wild iris. Wild
honeysuckle perfumed the air and.
mingled with the scent of ripe wild
strawberries and sweet clover, made
a bouquet fit for a queens nostrils.

outside. Mary Hanske Roxby had
a Job in her uncle's shipyards. It
was about 1860 Women did not
work Outside the home" in those
days-especially not women with
baby sons, as had Mary.
"She worked during this time as
she never worked again, in all her
long life. She knew that Mark
Henry Carton would turn her ruth
lessly out of the firm if she proved
useless. She was there to fight with
naked hands and wits in a world
that conceded nothing to a woman
except her right to be protected
from it"

lack of knowledge on the part of
persons entrusted with the care of
children" the statement continues.
ut matters not now poor the par
ents of a child may be, if they will
use proper precautions and care in
feeding they can usually bring their
children through the summer in
safety"
