bandages be kept in a gas oven In
order to sterilize them?-S. W. NJ.
A. The Public Health Service says

For simple folk, like you and me,
Along life's road so rough.

The traveller views a vast array

Seem more than we should really

When cares have heavy grown,

sENEcTIssIMus OF ALL SENATORS

Under the heading, "Wyoming's Hero" the national news
weekly, Times, published in Cleveland, had the following highly
complimentary but certainly entirely deserved fine things to say
about Wyomings Senior Senator at Washington. 1t is comfort
ing to know that so influenced and widely-read a paper as Times
is, thinks the same thing about our Mr.. Warren that we do!
with tears in his voice, if not in his eyes, the senectis-
sinus of all U. S. Senators stood up and pleaded with snaring
fiibusterers for the passage of his Second Deficiency bill, dearer
to him than all investigating of slush funds. He, Francis Emroy
Warren of Wyoming, 80, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, had made a plea more than 20 times during the 4O1s-
hour Reed VS.. Reed wrangle. He had spent half of one night
on a Senate lounge when he should have been home in bed. His
snow-white moustache dropped; his eyes were sunken, bleary;
his voice quavered. Somebody said: I object His last plea
was dashed to the floor like a broken relic. Like an angered
God, he. lifted his voice above the Senate din, pronounced a
commandment: Every Senator can't have his owned damned
way
eff there is a man in the u. S. today who merits the title
of Grand Old Man, it is Mr.. Warren. His fame goes back to
the Civil War when he was awarded the Congregational Medal
of Honor for gallantry on the field of battle; Back to the '70s
when he, astride a horse, was making Wyoming something more
nor of the territory; back to 1890 when he first entered the u.
S. Senate And perhaps in 1881, when his present term
expires, he will be guiding his last annual three-biIion-dollar
flock of appropriation bills through a stormy Senate with the
skiIful hand that gave him the subtitle of "The Greatest Shep-
herd since Abraham,
FRANCIS Emroy Warren-hero, rancher, pioneer, law-giver,
financer, shepherd, Grand Old Man."

TOWN PRIDE

There is in many towns a conflict between people whose
thought is to make money, and those whose first thought is to
make an attractive home town. The first named people are
constantly seeing chances to make money through some kind of
development enterprise. If such promoters lack good taste.
they are apt to cut up real estate in an undesirable way, or
erect flimsy looking dwellings, put up unsuitable business build
lngs or erect them in places where they injure the looks of the
town. They may sincerely believe their projects help the town
grow and are commendab1e.
These people are apt to show enterprise, and if they only
had more sense of fitness and taste they would do a lot of good.
In a town where there is not much pride or community spirit,
people of that type have things about their own way. They
go ahead with their commerciaized projects, and the town
grows heller SHELTER and may never develop into a real honey
kind of place.
But in a city with live community spirit, these money max
es find that it pays to conform to a higher standard. They
learn that the average run of people take pride in their COM
munHy, and want 1t made attractive and beautiful. They
realize that unless their developments are in keeping with the
standards desired. their enterprise will get in bad.
They IND that II they put up ugly houses, people are slow
TO buy o r rent them, and if they erect unattractive stores in
unsuitable places, people may not patronize them. 1t is a
pleasure to be able to say that on the whole excellent standards
OF taste have prevailed in the development of Cody. AS a whole
we have a city to be proud of, yet there is always room for i'm
provement, and still higher standards.

seems preposterous for us to be

dition like this prevails, and prac-
tically every one knows that the
local dealers are not to blame.

WHY SHOULD GASOLINE SELL FOR Is CENTS IN FORT
COLLINS AND FOR "a CENTS IN SHERDAN

With the season close at hand for burning up gasoline ON
the mountain trails, there is a feeling that Wyoming is not being
treated right in the retail prices fixed on its gasoline.
This price in the mountain states district of the oil world
Is supposed to be fixed by the Continental Oil company, through
ITS Denver headquarters, and is presumed to be prorated on an
equal price from center plus freight.
In California today gasoline is being sold for 14h cents per
gallon AT Fort Collins, Colo, the price is Is cents. In Denver
a few miles away, the price has recently been lowered to 10
cents. These prices include state tax.
on tuesday of this week, the price was reduced in Sheridan
from 26 cents to "a cents, including a state tax of 8 cents.
Sheridan is within a few miles of the oil fields, yet it paws one
of the highest rate for gasoline in the nation, figuring railroad
points.
III gasohne can be sold at Fort Collins for Is cents, there
rs no excuse under the sun for a 9 cent higher price to prevail
in Sheridan.

 Dr. Daude's statements of his findings indicated he had invaded what once was the realm of mon strous reptiles and gigantic al most beyond belief.
 A carload of fossi.izcd scales from reptiles such as mesothorium traco- don and other gigantic monsters can be picked up near Sarm Springs on the edge of the town of Burns. Dr. Daude declared. What the United States Geological Survey has report cd as rhyolite is actually q silicltied forest of scquoias, cedars and coni- fers whose staggering size is such as to test the most vivid imagination, the gcologist added.
 Until his discoveries recently, Dr. Daude declared, no fossils of the great lizards of the reptilian age had been identified here. And this he pointed out, is the most important discovery inasmuch as the reptilian age existed long before the nam mals which arrived in the Eocene or Dawn" Age.
