ARMIsTICE DAY

On Friday the ctizenry of the United States will join with
the ex-service men of the World War and former wars in hon
orng this nations hero dead. Friday, November 18th, is known
the world over as Armistice Day, marking the cessation of hos
tiEties on the greatest battle front this world has ever known.
1t is most fitting that every one observe this day with the Lee
gion boys. 1t is most appropriate that we pause on this day,
and pay proper tribute to those who layed down their lives in
the service of their country.
Altogether too soon does the average citizen forget the
days of early 1913, when every cable brought word of the loss
of our American boys on the battle front. Armistice Day had
a real significance in 1918. 1t meant the war was over. 1t
meant that our soldier boys would soon be home again. AT
that time the people of the United States turned out one hun
dred per cent to services held throughout the nation. So it
should be again on November 18th. We should show that
we do not forget. That we are still alive to the great sacrifice
which was made in the cause of justice. Armistice Day should
be observed in a most fitting way. Everyone should plan to
attend services, and in this way pay tribute to the memory of
those who made the supreme sacrifice.

DISCOURAGE THE PANHANDLER

Last week a young man wearing a cane, and claiming some
serious affliction to his back, Gmped about Cody gathering
funds, with which he said he would start a cleaning establish
for Cody merchants are as liberal as any when it comes to help
ing a needy fellow.
However, the policy of giving freely to each and every
fellow coming to town should be tabooed. Better send him to
the commercial club and let it investigate his worthiness
before being made an easy mark Many of these men with
their cane and limp are as able bodied as any of us. This fell
low who was here last week is. His name is Frank J. Sherwood,
and an investigation of him was made over at Lander, and the
report received was far from satisfactory.
These panhandlers are always moving toward prosperous
communities. They find an easy living with their song and
dance. Each one of these beggars should be investigated before
they are permitted to beg in town. 1t is only fair to the mer-
chants that the city authorities give the business men this pro-
lection. Most of the townsmen are willing to give to a needy
brother, but would appreciate protection from the fourhusher.

PERPETUATING THE SCRUBS

Several weeks ago when The Enterprise received a feature
story from somewhere, we don't recall where, telling about a
wonderful reserve which is being created where the Texas long
horn cattle are to be saved for posterity, and giving no end of
credit to Senator John B. Kendrick for the part he took in es-
taohshlng this national monument, we gave very little thought
to the matter. More recently, however, many editors of
the state have been taking jibes at the new preserve. Editor
L. L. LOOMS of the Torrington Telegram makes the following
pointed criticisms to this act to preserve the Texas dogies:
"A Texas cowman has searched until he found twenty cows,
four bulls and three steers of the famed Longhorn cattle. famed
for nothing In the world except an uRtamed, vicious disposition
and a razorbaek quality Of beef. In fact they are the razor
backs of the bovine species of quadruped, The same cowman
hoodwinked the national congress into creating out of valuable
land a Federal reserve near Lawton, Oklahoma, for the sole
- axnot,a+;nr The Tonoborn The Ionoborn is nothing
in the animal world. He is the product of the mixing of several
breeds of cattle, nature taking the output and making it tough,
lean, wiry and fleet, and growing on it long horns as protection
from the predatory animals that prey upon the game along the
Rio Grande. Just what can be accomphshed by taking an i'll
formed, vicious COW brute scrub and endeavorng to perpetuate
it in the cause Of curiosity is another of the wonders of science
in the twentieth century, and another tribute to the statesman
ship of our national congress"

Stanley Greenbaum of Casper. Mr..

summer, in having mud holes along

1t is time the business men and tax

of permanent improvements for
Sheridan n The conditions
existing the last season were un-
speakable. Visitors and local
people as well could hardly leave
their cars without the use of hip
boots. Even during the fall season
it is most i~nconvenient to get to
and from ones car when the wealth
er is bad s~underfoot.
Another dance hall has gone up
in smoke over in the Sheridan
country. This hall was located at
Manchester, Wyoming, and has been
getting quite a name for its noisy
Saturday night dances. On the
Saturday night previous to the fire,
there were eight automobile ac-
cidents on the road from Ranches
ter to Sheridan. Much community
opposition was evident at Ranches
ter to the location of the dance
hall there, it being fnaned to a
great extent by Sheridan capital.
This is the third dance hall in the
vicinity of Sheridan to burn in the
last two seasons.
