Too much Importance can not be placed up on the benefits
of a good band in any community, and the earlier the girls and
boys have opportunity to be members of q band and learn to
play musical instruments the better it is for them and the
greater advantage to the community in which they live.
This thought was brought home most forciby to us thru
an article which appeared recently in the Branding Iron" Of
ficial paper of the campus, at the Wyoming state university at
Laramie. The article tells of the organization of the R. O. T. C.
band at the university and gives the names of those who will
be members. In this group we find five Cody boys, everyone
of them able to join this musical organization because of early
training in the Cody high school and under band directors of
the town band of Cody.
In speaking of the benefits to be derived as a member Of
the university band one of the young men writes home: "The
band goes free to practically everything of any Importance hap
pening in Laramie and nearby. Free transportation, and an
opportunity to earn our way with a little music" This is indeed
something worthwhile to every young man attending the state
university or any other school of higher learning where he is
trying to advance himself educatonally and at the same time
have some of the pleasures to be gained, along lfes road.
The boys from Cody who are members of tha band include
Tom Trimmer, Judd Newton, Alden Ingraham, William Visit
and Snvernai.

DID CEDAR NOUN
TAIN OBTAIN ITS NAME?

Last week The Enterprise asked
for Information regarding a Ruby
river, which is located in Park coun-
ty. We have to date received no
authentic information relative to
this water course. SO are pleased to
reprint a clipping from the Billings
(Montana) Post. under date of Mo-
vember 81. 1882:
About 100 settlers on the Ruby
river. better known as the Sinking
Water. and its tributaries, are
making application forS a weekly
mail route from Billings to their
nearest postoffice. Ranchers and
cattlemen who have formerly gone
to Cheyenne for their supplies are
now coming to Billings. These set
tiers are from $50 to 200 miles
from Billings. Among the ranchers
who have been coming to Billings
are those on the Big Horn. Clarks
Fork, Big Wind, Little Wind, PA
O'Hara creek, Owl creek and Camp
Brown, as well as the Sinking Wa
ter. (The Big Horn basin. Cody.
and the sections generally described
in this item, still have close bus
mess relations with Billiugs)."
The Enterprise received one reply
from it's last weeks question re-
garding Ruby river, and although
the communication raj anonymous.
we will deviate from u regular
procedure Of throwing communica-
lions of this character In the waste
basket and publish same for the
benefit of our readers. Although
the letter is evidently written in
Jest. there is probably much truth
in the statement:
Dear Mr.. Editor: / noticed in
your last edition o were broad
casting for information as to the
locality of Ruby river. Not reflect
ing any insinuations as to your
ability of not knowing about this
valuable stream (however. most of
us overlook many great things).
RUBY river is located about
one and one-half miles west of the
Park County court house. and is
one of the tributaries of Sulphur
Cor overflows). In fact. statistics
on record show that Ruby river has
only flowed once in the history of
Park county. and may never run
again unless Goppert Is again pros
ecuting attorney.
Trusting this Information will
lead you to a valuable sense in
geography and information desired.
II beg to remain,

TRY WRITING A LETTER

Your home paper is really a treless letter writer if nothing
more. Week after week we prepare this printed letter for those
living here and for those who have moved to some other locality,
telling of our marriages, births, deaths, the coming and gong
people, of business efforts and progress, accidents, crops, i'm
provements, meetings and so on. In fact, everything OF interest
and Importance. If you should undertake to write a letter to
an absent friend every week telling him all the news you would
get a faint idea of the task in preparing a newspaper. Many OF
our townspeople recognize this and take pleasure in giving us
stems of news. 1t helps us and is appreciated.

TAKING Unfair ADVANTAGE NEVER PAYS

Fortunate indeed is the club or organization or town which
does not have that Individual who will take an unethical advant-
age.
On the school ground he is the lad that will always be found
in the shove for the inside track. He is the fellow whom the
referee on the football field must watch for constant off-side
plays. On the cinder track tryouts he does his best to get off
just a second ahead of the gun. Later when he plays golf, he is
the bird who seeks a better lie, claiming a wagon wheel or horse
hoof has left an unnatural depression.
In politics or business or professional life, he can never be
counted on to carry through with associates or competitions.
When they plan to do something as an association or as a
community they always look to him to pull something that is
just a little off form and he seldom disappoints them. Natur-
ally he is unpopular with his contemporaries and competitors for
his unethical actions pique them, but they are seldom hurt a
great deal by his unfairness, for the public these days is just
a little quicker than ever before to spot unfairness and to reason
that if a man is unfair in his competition, he will bear close
watching in his dealings with customers and clients.
Taking unfair advantage never pays permanently.

OPEN DOORS MEAN LIFE

Another Myomingite the victim of carbon monoxide!
He started the engine Of his automobile in his garage with

Winter is imminent, the period when you will be reluctant to
open the doors of the garage before the engine OF your car
has been warmed up"
Don't be fooish-take no chance with invisible, odorless,
impreceptible, deadly carbon monoxide.
NEVER start the engine of your car in the garage without
