RANCHER LOSES
BARN AND HAY CROP
BY LIGHTNING FIRE

o. H. Lundvall, Monument Hill
rancher. lost his large barn and
about fifty tons of hay on Thurs
day morning, when lightning set
fire to the barn, causing a fire
which could not be checked before
it had destroyed the building, ad
jacent cattle sheds and one of
three stacks of hay which had been
stacked nearby. The barn was one
of the largest in the Cody COM
munity, had ample capacity for
more than forty ton of hay, and
besides the work horses sheltered
25 head of dairy cows. Fortunately
no stock was in the buildings at
the time of the fire. Mr.. Lundvall
lost all of his harness and saddle
equipment.
An s. o. S. call was received in
Cody at an early hour on the
morning of the fire, and in spite
of a rain storm, which made the
roads to Monument hill most i'm
did what little there could be done
in putting out the fire before it
had consumed the other two hay
stacks.
The barn and dairy equipment at
the Lundvall ranch has been the
work of several years of hard and
consistent work, and with very lit
tie insurance, the Lundvalls sus-
tanned a real loss from the fire.

Mind of a Motorist:

When kinghthood. was in flower
the gay birds of romance rode horses,
just like our polo players. Now that
knighthood has been knocked into a
cooked derby, these same fellows
drive cars. The hardware they used
to cover knight and horse has been
turned into the tin of the car.
How the time flies! In this age of
tin everybody rides, and with some
people all the polish is on the outside
of the car. The gay knight at the
steering gear is still on the lookout
for fair ladies', although Sir knight
has the manners Of mechanic.
Now don't think I'm going to air
my knowledge of history, for the
wind might blow it away. But if I
did attempt to strike up some anal
ogies I'd liken the men in armor to
our boys in fur and leather, the cru.
sades would be week end trips and
the holy grail would be a roadhouse.
But our Sir Galahads are different.
They could give the chivalry people
lessons in efficiency and tell them to
hitch the noble nag out by the front
gate and make him neigh until Mar
guerite appeared. Well, chivalry
was one thing, gasoline another, and
those old crusaders could have learned
lot from our chauffeurs
The ardent knight of all ages has
ardent faith in the power of his steed
Sentimental girls always fall for
flash of steel, touch of speed and
the he-man stuff generally. The
amorous motorist of today acts as
though the gas had gone to his head.
His closed car is a sort of movable
love bower or temporary trysting
place. He's some knight, believe me!
What | don't like is to ride in an
eight-cylinder car with a two-cylinder
man. But, then, I'm fussy. I'd
rather hop along with an impecunious
chap who had a good line of chatter.
One kind Of gas, you know, may be
better than another.
Men are so funny. They have no
faith in themselves, and so they are
always getting up all sorts Of gew-
gaws and gim.cracks to astonish the
ladies. II all the cars in the world
were removed the only people who
would miss them would be the chauf.

seats. We girls could walk or take

Vitamin B is widely distributed It

Vitamin c is not so abundantly

For this reason raw, fresh foods must
be eaten every day to insure the

Lemons, oranges and other citrus
