for improving transportation and

Equipped with this information
Washington would be in better posi-

BALTIMORE, March 5,--The build

report at the Baltimore Association OF
Commerce.
One large contractor estimated that

Despite comparatively open Win

The trade in this respect. 1t was ex-

1t was this time last year. when
weather conditions were much less

AS regards house construction, one

Only one in 5000 Russians is a member of the Communist
party, yet this minority wrecked Russia and rules 1T today.
Not one in twenty Southerners owned slaves, yet this
minority overshadowed American affairs for years and event

fratrcidal tragedy.
The prison population of the United States is about one in
a thousand, and the criminal. part of that population is much
less than one in a thousand, yet this minority imposes on us
the costhest police, judicial and prison systems in the world.
The number of drinkers of alcoholic liquors in the United
States in the heyday of the business was less than two for
every 500 Americans, yet this minority of two individuals, aided
by. the stupidity and shortsightedness of the commercialized
liquor interests, was powerful enough to precipitate prohibition
upon the country.
The diplomats of the earth are a minority too infinitesimal
to measure, yet like virulent microscopic germs they have power
to infect the whole earth with hate and war.
The jazz kings of Tin Pan Alley are but a handful, yet they

Society is an organ of myriad pipes which is played upon by
a minority of ten fingers and two feet that give the organist

more than the passive organ to be played upon; 1T will have

to majorities; it will have to choose which minority shall rule

ESPECIALLY THE FOURTH

The Fourth of July is the anniversary of the Declaration of
independence of these United States. 1t is a holiday. the
average citizen and his family expects to enjoy a "rest," by
motor, by rod and line, by golf-club, by swimming-suit, by pic
nic-basket, by the noisy and futile fire-cracker; some, perchance,
by a good old snoose at home.
The two facts remain; the Fourth of July is an important
anniversary; it is a holiday. How would it be for every Ameri-
can to combine, for as little as five minutes, those two facts
devote part of the holiday to thoughtful consideration of the
anniversary?
Do we commemorate this Fourth of the fathers who were
the heroes of a magnificent event; or do we celebrate rather
the fruits of their efforts? Would the Fourth be the great
day it is if their efforts had come to naught, or if the United
States had become a less imposing people? The truth is, we
celebrate both; both the fathers who founded and the wonderful
thing that has grown from that foundation. In other words,
we are remembering all good citizens of that day. and since
that day who have contributed to the national welfare. Each
Fourth marks a year in which many useful men and women
have crossed the line; their memory, too, is enshrined, or should
be, in the celebration.
To bring it nearer home, the time will come when we, too,
will exut some Fourth of July. Does the quality of our citizen
ship, our service to the nation, merit that consideration? Shall
we have contributed anything at all to warrant our successors
in perpetuating the occasion for anything other than the noble
foundation?
1t is a fair question, and a necessary one: The duty of
citizenship is not arduous, although plain. 1t implies a high
standard of national government, the choice of good men of
steadfast purpose for public office, the intelligent and unselfish
participation of every American in the business of government.
A subject worth giving five minutes of your time to.

Cody's City Park

If there is one institution with
in the town of Cody, and under the
jurisdiction and administration of
the city officials, which is in need
of some attention and improvement.
it is the city park. Our city park
has possibilities. 1t is nicely To-
Gated, has plenty of shade and. a
carpet of heavy grass. What it
needs is attention. It's trees, in
dire need of pruning and trimming
make it look like a jungle. The
grass is knee high and. resembles a
wilderness. 1t has the stamp OF
desertion all over it.
The city has three policemen on
the pay roll. If any one of them
could be induced to spend two
hours a day working in the city
park it could be made a. place of
beauty and a credit to the town.
So much for that.

NeWs Notes From The
County Agents Office

h weed control demonstration
on the w. j. Hail. farm north of
Powell turned out to be very inter-
esting. After the carbon bisulphide
had been working a week it was
found hat the weeds had been kill
ed but the beans were uninjured.
The weed killer was applied to a
patch of weeds on the bear field
and 1t was put down to a depth Of
IL to IA inches in holes two feet
apart each way. The beans were
shallow rooted and were not af-
fected but every weed in the treat
ed area was killed
This treatment is expensive but
where weeds are in small patches
on farm land it can be used to ad-
vantage inc the rapid spreading
can be stopped without injury to
the land.
Weeds are fast becoming a SER
ious pest and unless something is
done soon, there will be some SER
ious losses in land values in this
county. Irrigation is almost a per-
feet method of spreading weed
seeds, and the danger increases
from year to year.

Three men, all in their twenties,
tiary last week to start serving life
sentences, penalties for the murder
of four men in a California train
ho,dup in 1928. These boys had
some "dime novel" ideas in their
heads when they staged the train
holdup, and have since come to
more serious thoughts. They admit
that they have not had a pleasant
hour since the crimes were COM
that their, fight to elude officers
and justice is over There seems
to be a hard and stony trail for
those who take the road of crime.
The much mooted ''pauper sign"
at the state bath house in ThermoD-
oils has been taken down and Mr..
Tightwad will not have to smother
his pride from now on when he
bathes there. OF course there is
much merit in the arguments used
as to why this sign should not be
used at the state bath house. but
it was surely funny to hear 'em
roar when a charge was made TO
those well able to pay.
For a number of years there has
been. talk of creating a game pas
in Shoshone canyon, above the
bridge, and to the south of the
river. For a very nominal sum
this project could be carried out and
a few elk, deer and buffalo placed
there. which would lend another
splendid attraction to Cody and the
Cody-Way road. If some generous
individual will come forward with
a contribution sufficient to cover
the light fencing expense, the thing
can be made a realty.
What is the matter with those
fellows from Powell? A year or so
