affairs had existed throughout the
year and with many projects under
way a bright future for the club
and the community it is endeavor-
ing to serve through future years.
The financial statement shows the
club in a very healthy condition,
financially, with but a small an
members and business houses. The
campground, which has been one
of the major projects of the club
for many years, showed a substan-
tial increase in receipts. with al

Paul r. Greever and l.. H. Larom,
both of whom made very interesting
addresses. Mr.. Larom, the first
speaker. talked on the subject of
GA Bigger and Better wyoming
and did credit to even this broad
subject. He is a keen student of
economic affairs and brought OUT
some mighty fine thoughts toward
the development and bedding of a
vast empire within t,.e state.
Mr.. Greever's subject was "Cody
Five Years Hence" and he most
interestingly drew a picture of both
Cody and Park county's potential
possibilities. He evidenced a great
faith in the development of agricul-
tural resources, the tourist and dude
business, and also the oil resources
within this county. at is .inev-
TABLE" said Mr.. Greever. that Cody
will grow and prosper, and 1t is
growing and prospecting. and 1t is
to be hoped that it does so upon
a most solid and conservative basis,
that its future may not be that of
many of the other Wyoming towns,
where the oil development and
booms finally left then in a most
pitiable situation" :
A pleasing part of the evenings
program was music furnished the
club by the Red Devil orchestra
and a vocal number by Mrs. L. NJ.

Cowgirl.

ing this interview Ray admitted hav-
ing worked for the Dodge people In
Detroit for about three months. The
brothers then went to Hanging Rock,
Ohio. which, according to the confes
sion of Ray was a community in
which there were number of moon
sinners. Ray explained that they
sought this place knowing that they
would not be questioned or asked
from whence they came. They would
be taken Tor moonshiners. Ray rea.

questions by stating that they had
come from Arkansas.
While in Hanging Rock Ray mar
ried Hazel Sprouse, in order to pro-
tect Roy and himself. as he explained.
There was talk in the community as
to who the boys were who were
living alone and it was decided the
best thing to do was to get married

relatives and kin in the community

would make their getaway In about
two months. In order to avoid de-
lection Ray declared he kept his hair
and eyebrows light by the use of
peroxide and shaved daily deep into
the skin to prevent his whiskers
from showing a different color from
his hair and eyebrows. The brothers
kept all their currency in their home
so as to be ready for an immediate
move.
Ray said that shortly after the train
holdup and after circulars had been
sent broadcast he was in a town in
Oregon, where he met a deputy
sheriff who sized him up closely. The
deputy reached his hand into his in
side pocket to get one of the cir
culars. Ray looked at the deputy,
smiled and asked him some questions,
thus diverting his mind to other mat
ters. His legs were trembling at the
time. declared Ray.

AT that time he had a gold front
tooth. upper but shortly thereafter
he pulled it out In order to wipe out
this part of his description. He had

FARM REVOLT
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON

ny WILLIAM N HUICH1NSUN
The Senate insurgent bloc believes
the state Of American agriculture
constitutes q national calamity"
and that farm relief il the dominant
issue facing Congress, 1t was an.
nounced today.
This belief, 1t was said, prompted
the Insurents to launch presi-
Dental drive for Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska in order to
project the issue into the next
campaign of 1928.
A statement OF the Insurgent out.
look toward agricultural conditions
was issued by Senator Brookhart
R.) of Iowa. following a meeting Of
the Insurgents. Later, 1t was en-.
dorsed by Senator Borah RO Of
Idaho, who likewise has endorsed
the candidacy of Norris.
1.-THE farmers received about 49,.
000, 100000 for what they sell but
the consumers pay over $4,000
100000 for it." said Brookhart.
"Since 1910. farm bankruptcies have
increased by more than 1000 per
cent while commercial bankruptcies
remain about the same.
These facts show a national
calamity for agriculture without
parallel in the history Of the coun.
try. 1t IL the highest duty of states
manship of this time to determine
the causes of this great discrimina.
ion against agriculture and to pre-
scribe an efficient remedy. It is
the duty of members Of Congress
to solve the question"
