The colorful and useful life led
by the great character in American
history marked the theme of the
brief address. delivered by d. w.

resentative of Midwest Refining

larly the example of courage and
devotion to duty e%xemplified
through the life of Colonel Cody

cidents in Cody's early life which
indicated his inherant devotion tn

OF Wyoming, including brief re-
marks concerning many of the In

and p~lainsman. He i~ntersperced
his remarks with short humorous
stories. He paid a tribute to the
work of the Cody club, stressing
the value of community cooperation
In bringing about real growth. His
knowledge of horticulture gave him
an opportunity to dwell pointedly
upon the value of the local rec
lamation project and of the essen

~cessfuI farming.

+ R. S. Ellison. vice president of
Midwest Refining company, who
had anticipated being present as
one of the speakers, sent his re-
grets due to unexpected business
engagements which prevented his
appearance. Mr.. Ellison is one of
the best posted men in the country

vitation to President Coolidge last
Saturday to visit the Buffalo Bill
country on the occasion of the OPEN
ing of the Cody Museum in June.
Mrs. Agnes C~hamberlin very grac-
iously gave to the assemblage the
aims of those who r in charge of
the building of the Cody Museum,
of which she is president.

invocation. Musical numbers were
provided by Mrs. Corrinne Williams,
