The American boy, at birth,
is valued in excess Of $4,000,
DIR, Louis |. Dublin, statistician
for one of the big life insurance
companies, told the American
Child Health Association today.
"At the age Of s." he said,
"the corresponding figure is
over $4,000, and at is in4excess
of $25, 600"
Using these estimates, Dublin
arrived at the conclusion that
$4,000, 100000 a year is the
measure Of our neglect of child

STUDENTS ENTERTAINED

Honoring the Anchorage High school basketball girls and the local high school students a party was given by MT. and Mrs. H. F. Morton, last evening, at their residence.
 At eight o'clock, the party con- menced with a bang. Some of the young bucks started by roasting marshmellows for their girl friends. Dancing and games were indulged in throughout the evening, every body having a great time. During the activities, refreshments were served.
 There was plenty to eat and enough left over to give the Anchor age quintet some lunch to take the train with them.
 The arrival of the "wee" hours of the evening was the signal for the guests to leave for home, all with the same story, of having a high old time.

HONORING A HERO

No more typical or picturesque hero has the West produced
than Colonel William F. Cody, known to four continents, up to-
a generation ago, as Buffalo Bill"
He lived before the West was blah-blahed by the fiction
writers who came after Mark Twain and Bret Harte; before the
automobile had rendered horseback riding antediluvian; before
Indians were cigarstore effigies and adventure was to be found
only in the air. Buffalo Bill served his apprenticeship as a from
tier scout, pony express rider and Indian fighter. To see him on
his caraconing steed, controlled by silver-mounted harness, SOM
bero and buckslin clad, mustachioed and imperialed, was a spec
tade that filled the eyes of Europe's kings and mobiles. He gath
cred about hime the most adventurous of the old Vests horse
men and sharpshooters, and under a tent of huge proportions
showed the world Americas greatest epic.
No wonder a memorial has been raised to him in Cody,
Wyoming. There ought to be memorials to him in New York,
where he played for months at a time in old Madison Square.
Garden; in San Francisco, where the crowds loved him, and in
London, where he and the Prince of Wales-later King Edward
VI-were the bravest of friends.-San Francisco Bulletin.

CODY STORES

Retail stores are doing business today on a smaller margin
of profit than ever. &J
The higher range of prices prevailing since the wal has
stimulated competition and has forced retail trade to remodel
its system of operation and to make every possible improvement
and economy in it's methods. The stores are saving a margin
for the public as a result of improved distribution methods.
Merchants today are putting more brains in their work.
They get better expert advice, they understand markets better,
they train their employees to render better service.
The best way to make the people of Cody realize the fine
quality of the service they get from their stores is by consistent
advertising of those stores. As they read the newspaper adj
vertisng people learn about special, chances to buy goods which
they would never have known about otherwise.
They learn that stores are carrying lines that they knew
nothing about. They get information warning them of condi-
tions that tend toward higher prices, and showing them how
they can save money by prompt purchasing. They learn that
their home merchants have been securing the country to obtain
the best merchandise obtainabe. They discover that their
home stores are working nightly to provide. the necessities and
conveniences of life at the lowest possible price consistent with
substantial merit.
The advertised store is the appreciated store.

WYOMING CROPS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT

The condition of practically all
crops improved greatly during the
past month according to d. F.
Christy, Statistician for the Wyom-
ing Crop and Livestock Reporting
Service.
Weather during June was gen
orally SO favorable for crop growth
that it partially offset the ~lateness
of the paintings.
Dry land crops are doing very
well and present prospects are for
a wheat crop 100000 bushels larg-
er than last year. Other grains
will run about the same as last
year with the exception of barley.
At present the barley crop promises
to be around 1,722,OO0 bushels the
largest crop barley ever produced
in this state. While the corn
crop will probably be slightly small
er than last year the United States
corn crop gives promise of being
the smallest sine 1901.
Potato ard bean production in
Wyoming also show a substantial
increase over last year. The indi-
Gated potato prediction on July 1
was 2,002, 900 bushels. Unfortun-
ately the United States crop of late
potatoes also shows a large increase.
While tame hay production in
Wyoming will likely be somewhat
below asst year the United States
crop promises to exceed all pre-
vious records.

A TO H FLY

If there is no breeding place for flies there will be no flies.
The almost propagation. But not all the spots which assist
the fly in preserving his species were in the vicinity of stables.
Where there is filth there will be flies and where flies go there
will some of the filth accompany them.
Time was when flies were endured as an inevitable annoy
ance without an appreciation of the menace to health there
presence is. They swarmed because no effort was made to
eradicate them. That era is past but there are those still who
tolerate conditions which in effect are not inimical to the in
terests of the fly. Not every house occupant can prevent flies
from, seeking entrance but everyone can keep them on the out
side 1t is within the province of all to refuse to purchase food
products which are accessible to flies.
Were everyone to eliminate breeding places on his own
premises and to screen and swat, the fly soon would become as
completely extinct as the monsters of which we know only
through their fossil remains. The fly is small but he makes
up in industry and persistence what he lacks in size. We be-
come alarmed when an epidemic threatens, yet too many of us
tolerate the fly when we know his capacity as a disease carrier
Because he is no novelty we minimize the peril which he may
transmit.
Long hair, says a womans page note, will come back slowly
If at all. Bobbed young ladies who are trying to grow it
already knew that.

Radio Stations Defy
Commissions Order

Following a conference between
Commissioners Caldwell, Bellows and
Sykes of the federal radio commits
sion and Operator Chester R. Bohn-
sock of station WNYC, owned by the
City of New York, it was agreed to-
day that the station will be allowed
to continue broadcasting on its pre-
sent wave length of $40 kilocycles.
No other sation will be permitted to
use the same wave length.
Warning has been served on twelve
New York sations that they must OBJ
serve the commissions rule that sta
tions must not vary more than one
half kilocycle from their assigned
wave lengths.
Twelve stations were found to be
violating the commissions order by
varying from 6 to 1856 kilocycles
from their assigned fraquencies. They
were: WPCH, WIN, WWRL, WKBO.

surveys and measurements carried
out for over half century do not
show that the levees have .appreciably
raised the bed of this river"
It is not true he shouts, and yet
he is preforce compelled to admit
that the river bed has been raised,
although he endeavors to deprecate
the fact by declaiming about zap
preciably." What Mr.. Hoover might
designate as not being "appreciably"
appears very ominous to engineers
and authority no less able than he
and apparently far more honest.
Can Control Floods.
Opposing this 'levees only system
is the bypass spillway" or Safety
valve" plan. 1t calls for the use Of
levees, supported by spillways and
passes. Nowhere else in the world
is the '1evees only" system used for
flood control. In the Nile valley. in
India, in France, and elsewhere, flood
control is effected by use of spillways
and passes aided by the levees. A
spillway is the same as a crevasse,
or a break, only the latter is I'M
controlled or uncomfortable and the
former is a manageable opening that
allows the excess water out into pre-
pared passes so that it can run off
to the sea relieving the main channel
Of its overlooking buyden of water.
Used Elsewhere in y. S.
In every other flood area in the
United States the bypass spillway"
system is in use. In California. in
the Ohio River Valley and other
places the levee is only part Of the
flood control system. Only in the
Mississippi Valley, where Of all places
adequate flood control is most needed,
crooked politics, dishonest officials,
demogogic authorities have continued
the antiquated method at the cost Of
billions Of dollars in losses 70 the
workers and the poor farmer. Every
flood drags down deeper the workers
in the lower valley, while enriching
contractors and the petty bosses.
Return For More Graft.
In spite Of every failure Of their
system, these "levees orcy" advo-
Gates have returned for more funds
and never once been denied their
loot. Next session will see their
powerful, well' "heeled7 lobby once
more about the halls Of Congress.
They will pull the ropes and
manipulate the wires and the senators
and representatives will twitch and

In the past it was S10,000,000 annu-

troll is not only the problem of stem
ing foundations, but water-power
rights and privileges. Under the
guise of providing relief no doubt
lucious vH ter-power steals will be
put through. Who can tell, it is pos
sible that even Muscle Shoals will be
grabbed off.
