BY Charles { Chick Evans, Jr.
Consider the clubhead as a pencil
point describing q straight line
along the ground and a curved one
through the air, and coming back
along the same line, No man can
hit well who swings with his arms
and does not break his wrists. In
my stroke the wrists break straight
back rather than in a rolling
motion. Hit crisply! Here is a
good point to remember. The arms
should swing more freely from the
body. The ball will always wait
for the proper stroke.

Yankee slump this season will be a
very minute affair, indeed. The
Hugmen are getting too good pitch.
Ing, their fielding is too dependable
and their reserve strength too great
to permit of an extended slump.
They'll drop games from time to

three or four in row. But they're

RICHARD HOME FROM
INTERESTING VISIT
TO THE SOUTHLAND

Will Richard, taxidermist and no.
table artist. arrived home last week
from a six-weeks motor trip to the
Southland. a part of which time
was spent tarpon fishing at Port
Kansas, the most southern point of
the state of Texas. Mr.. Richard
brought back to his taxidermy shop
two splendid specimens for mount
ing. each of which are about six
feet long and weigh from 100 to
l36 pounds.
After the fishing excursion Mr..
Richard motored along the ancient
dinosaur tracks in the sandstone
near Tuba City. These tracks are
IL inches long. and look like the
dinosaur had strided off at a run
ming pace. sinking his tracks in
delibly into the formations.
He also visited the petrified pump
kin patch. These .petrified pump
kins cover about 40 acres, and still
mold their leaves and wipes. They
measure from 1s to 20 inches thru,
even after the elements have partly
wor them off.

SUN EANCE SHOSHONES
IS NOW FINISHED
Fort Washakie Scene of Three-day
Endurance Event

Twenty-four sturdy Shoshone
bucks with dragging feet and hol-
low eyes Thursday finished the an
nual sun dance which so braves
began at FIT. Washable Monday.
Clad only in breech cloths and
vivid paint the Indians had danced
steadily day and night for three
days without food, drink or rest,
blowing whistles monotonously. The
older bucks, several of whom have
passed the century mark. soon fell
exhausted and me by one others
dropped for lack of strength to
carry on.
As the sun rose Thursday morn
ing the cripples. blind and sick of
the, tribe ere carried or led to the
center pole and a final healing
ceremony held over them. Then
the remaining braves staggered from
the dance arena to a feast which
awaited them and the rest Of their
tribe.
The dance opened Monday with
echoing war whoops and a sham
battle. A tree was killed" for the
center pole for the arena with this
erected they began the gruelling
dance to the center pole and back
to the edge of the circle.
Gathered close around the outer
circle were some 500 dudes and
tourists. many of them wearing
shirts and neckerchiefs with colors
rivaling those painted on the In
dams bodies. Cameras clicked, whis-
les blew and the bucks danced.
The dudes and tourists left for wa
ter and meals but the bucks kept
up a steady pace until they were
rewarded by rest and a feast on
fat steaks Thursday.
Last year the Indians hs,d their
dance at an i~nopportune tiEie and
crops were lost. This year Indian
Agent r. p. Haas asked the chief
to wait until the hay was harvest
ed and the grain fields irrigated
for the last time. The redmen
saw the white mans wisdom and
agreed.

FIRST. AT HOME ISA
GOOD MOTTO FOR ALL TO HEED
tEditoriaD 40
tEditorial)

Try first at home Is good advice
for all of us, and 1t applies in many
ways.
The schooling the youth may
get away from home. so far as 1t
applies to the grades taught at
home is concerned, is no better
than can be found right here. Our
teachers are as good as those found
in other schools. and the textbooks
are largely the same.
Our churches offer the same relig-
lou advantages as are offered
elsewhere.
Our social activities meet the
needs OF our people as well as, or
better than. the social activities
of other places.
The enchantment of distance is
very. very often a false sister.
But "try first at home" applies
especially to the things we buy. We
want good stores in this home town
of ours. Such stores are an asset
to the community. and that means
an asset to each individual. The
fact that we have good stores
means that we have a good town
in which to live; a live, upAto-the-
minute market place that makes
for general prosperity for the people
of the community. For our mer-
chants to keep good stock of mer-
chandise for our convenience. for
them to make fair prices. they must
have our confidence and patronage.
When we give them this we are but
helping ourselves. adding to our
own convenience and w%ell-being.
The merchandise our merchants
offer us is fully as food as that

The book is all hand work and is

part of the collection brought to
Cody by Mr.. Bradford. 1t was made
during the last two years of the

In speaking with Mr.. Bradford
this morning, who was accompanied
to Cody by Mrs. Bradford, he ex-
pressed himself very much pleased
to be able to place these effects of
Col. Cody in such a wonderful and
beautiful place at the Cody museum.
He expresses great confidence that
the keep sakes of the family will
be most safely guarded In the mu-
scum. and cared for better than
would be able to do so at his home.
Mr.. Bradford stated that he also
knew where considerable more rel
les and souvenirs of the great scout
were now located. and that he felt
sure thai most of them would be
turned over to the Cody museum
Mr.. Bradford was present in Cody
at the dedication July 4th, and at
that time was most ~favorably i'm
pressed with the fine spirit in which
the Cody Family and the business
men of Cody were cooperating in
the development of the museum. !
Probably no man alive today was
more closely associated with Col.
Cody than his nephew. Cody Brad
ford, who travelled with the Buff
falo Bill show during the last few
years 1t was on the road.
There are SO many interesting
things in the collection brought to
Cody by Mr.. Bradford that it will be
most impossible to describe all of
them. There are Cody's hats, the big
black one which he always wore
in the show ring; the Stetsoa he
loved to wear when he was home
in Cody INT on the ranch and the
soft felt which was his travelling
attire or when he was at ease His
wonderful leather coats are also in
1916 during his last show year,
and also the one he donned- in
Europe when he showed to royalty
there. Then there is the colonel's
last pair of shoes. The ones he
took off at the home of his daugh-

tools of life. and his slippers. which

COOKE CITY MINING 2
CAMP VISITED BY
PARTY FROM CODY
Visit to Cooke Fish Fry Most
Pleasant-Surprised at Activity
of Little Mining Town.

The annual Fish Fry held at
Cooke City was a most successful
event according to Sen. and Mrs.
j. M. Schwoob, Mr.. and Mrs. /.
H. Larom and Major E. S. Hopes
who spent the week end in the
Montana city and took part in the
festivities.
For many years ae t~Eish-Ery'',
has been an annual occurrence at
Cooke City, located just east of
Yellowstone park and a few miles
across the neutrality-suspicious. line
in the latter state. This year when
the company which has in years
past sponsored this occasion were in
a mood to let the season go by
without a celebration. some of the
old timers. namely Martin Ran
mael and r. l.. Morton sent out
invitations and advertising and made
ready a program and sponsored the
show.
A huge beef was ~barbecued, a
bucking horse or two was rode. and
a program rounded out quite salts
factory to all who attended.
However 1t was the town of
Cooke City itself. and the mining
operations there which held great
est interest for the Cody visitors
and they returned home very much
eathused with the idea that Cooke
City is coming into its own as a
mining center.
a. little town located high in the
Rocky Mountains. at the headwaters
of the Clarks Fork, Soda Butte
creek, and several other Montana
waterways. at an altitude of 1900
feet, Cooke City is located beauti-
fully. It is reached by a wagon
up the Clarks fork. or a very good
auto road from Yellowstone park,
where the main loop road is left
at Camp Roosevelt.
With "a population of about 20
persons during the long winter
months. at this time of the year
Cooke City is teeming with activity
and has a population of about $50
to 400 people. The town has one
store. 2 hotels. a billiard hall, and
a. few other small business houses.
There are three smelters located
n - ncdi ? SOOht Oits- Ont VI
them is a cotton smelter; one a
lotion and the other. the Tanner,
by far the largest and most pre-
tentious. rated at $50 ton. This
smelter is employing a large force
of men, has several huge trucks
on the road hauling il supplies.
and is just getting started to some
heavy production of valuable ore.
While in Cooke City the Cody
men had an opportunity for dis
cussing road prospects. and routes
best fitted for getting the ore out
to market, and with very few ex-
ceptions the mining men favored
the route down Clarks Fork canyon
as the most practical to build.
There is strong opposition in Cooke
to the proposed Red Lodge Cooke
City route. inasmuch as it would
serve their needs but a very small
portion OF the year.
