SALE SATURDAY
BENEFIT WAR VETERANS.

The ladies of Fred Coe Legion
Auxiliary will conduct it's annual
poppy sale on Saturday, May 2Sth,
at which time every man. woman
and child in Cody should contribute
his mite to the comfort of the dis
abled veterans of the World war.
The sales will be conducted by the
ladies through a street canvass and
also from a booth at the Post Of
flee store. Wear a poppy on Sat-
urday, Poppy Day.
In years past the peoples have
been made by the members of the
Auxiliary. This year all the pop
pies sold will come from the Battle
Mountain Sanatorium Hot Springs,
South Dakota, where they are made
by the disabled war veterans. This
plan enables the veterans to make
some money as well as providing
them with suitable employment.
Twenty-six thousand veterans of
the World War are in Government
hospital being cared for and being
put in shape that many of them
may again get out in the world
and earn a living for themselves
and families. Many of these boys
will never again be able to leave
the hospital. Many of them are
most helpless and unable to even
take care of themselves. The money
secured through the sale of pop
pies on Poppy Day goes to these
disabled soldiers. 1t is used to
make their sojourn at the hospitals
nor pleasant. and to furnish en-
tertainment for them that their
living there a be made less non .
otonous.

explanation of the workings of the
Reclamation Services plan of OPP
Grafton was presented TO the mem
bers of the Cody Club on Monday
by Mr.. Kreustler, of the Reclama-
ton Service, who WIKI Superinten-
dent of the Shoshone Project, Nit
chell and r. T. Baird Of Powell
were guests of the club. Mr.. Krust-
Ter is one of the prominent officials
of the Reclamation Service. has
given this work a close study and
is thoroughly familiar with. all
stages of Reclamation on this and
other government projects, and has
great faith in the new plan the
government is trying out.
The government will endeavor to
select. to practically hand pick the
fifty-eight entries for the units on
wildwood project. The qualifica-
lions which these entries must
have are considered only those
which are necessary to make farm
ing on government reclamation pro-
jects a success. The pan has been
inaugurated to do away with the
Spectator, the misfit or the fell
low who wishes to become a farm
er at the governments expense.
To become an applicant for one
of the Willwoods' units one must
have At least $4,000 or its equiv
alent in workable assets; he must
also have had some farming ex-
perience, preferably two years.
either irrigable or dry farming, pre-
ferable irrigation. He must be
possessed of a desire to make his
bona fide home on the wildwood
project. and not to be filing with
the hope of securing a trading pro
position. If he has many or all of
these qualifications. the govern
ment will go farther with him than
1t has ever gone before with its
home steaders. If the applicant
the government proposes to loan
him some more. 1t expects to gam
BILE with him that he can make a
success of his new venture, and
will aid him in every way possible.
The wildwood project is consid-
ered by reclamation men as one of
the best projects ever to be opened
in Wyoming. The government has
made careful soil tests. and the
land has been placed under ditch
in the most careful and efficient
manner. The So units which are to
be opened to entry this fall COM
prise only a small portion of the
wildwood project.
