In other words Ferdinand calls
the firemen to the coIors when
emergencies arise.
1t seems that some of the
folks up in the West End still
would like to see Ferdinand in
other pastures. The noise he
makes annoys 'em no end. On
the other hoof, the firemen, I'm
told, have taken a likin' to Old
Ferdy and would like to see him
continue to nibble around the
green's in Washington Square.
Ferdinand was almost forgot
ten until last week, when some
one mentioned it to the Mayor
and Council. That was bad, be-
cause the b'hoys went into the
same old groove and started
passing the buck around. par
don us, we mean they started
passing Old Ferdy around). The
King wants Ferdinand driven out
to the City Park. Councilman
Fricnger amt interested in
having Ferdy trampIe down the
gladiolis, chrysamthemuns and
daisies. It's an awful mess!
don't know what use Old
Ferdinand would serve out
there in City Park, what with the
baseball season and picnics off
the schedule now. Perhaps the
King figures it would be a swell
idea to use Ferdy to below for
lost children. 1t would either
find 'em or frighten 'em to death.
Or it might be that the King
could use it to call his b'hoys to-
gether when the going gets
rough. remember being told
of a meeting Of the King and his
lads at City Park, way back
when the two factions of the
Democratic Party were having
Primary trouble. 1t seems that
an Ex-Mayor was called away
from a family picnic being held
there that day, and invited to
join up with the insurgents and
help take over the outfit. But
the WouId-be leaders in The Big
Automobile were doomed to dis
appointment. Result: The Great
White Chief is still head of the
Democratic Party in these here
parts.

down in history as this Admin

A YEAR AROUND PLAN

National Cotton Week. set for May 1925 this year,
promises to the greatest of its kind in coons
history.
Promoted by the National Cotton Council, the Cotton
Textile Institute and other cooperating agencies, Cotton
Week in the nineteen cotton producing states will bring
before the public record parade of cotton products
With merchants of the Belt featuring their annual
sales is certain that cotton consumption will take
a decided jump during National CottonWeek Promotion
al plans which bring into play agency in the COM
munity but result in such increase.
Yet increase in volume of cotton sales during Ma
onal Cotton Week alone is not enough To increase cot
ton consumption appreciably must convert Cotton
Week into year around plan. If the goal of ten per
cent gain in domestic consumption set by the National
Cotton Council for the immediate future is to be reached
every man. and child in the United States must
use an additional 1400th of of cotton every day
of the year.
Fourteen hundredths of an ounce is not very impos
ing quantity But when the capita increase day
of cotton consumption reaches that quantity, will be
using 100000 bales year than at present
This increase would bring domestic consumption to with
in few hundred bales of the all-time high.
The Cotton Council is launching program which
can bring about that increase, increase which will
make it Cotton Week not once, but ytwo times year
Cooperation of the people of the Belt will go long way
toward making that program successful,

EVERY MANS" PROBLEM

An official of large Portland, Oregon, wholesale
company recently compared his company's operating
methods of the with those of the good old days.
Sngulary he the railroads credit for the greatest
contribution to wholesaing efficiency during the past
twenty years Two decades his firm of necessity
ried large stocks because weeks required for ship
ments arrive from distant manufacturing centers. And
large investment in goods on hand often meant large
interest payments borrowed money; necesstated out

costs All of these handling encumbrances penalized
the ultimate consumer.
Progressive Improvement period of years in
rail transportation has entirely altered the situation This
particular wholesaler carries only half the inventory of
former years. In his words of his orders

We get what need need it,
An incident of this kind to illustrate the vital
degree to which the country depends modern rail

The country needs definite transportation policy
which will rehabtate the railroads. Legislation now

Leap Year Idea
Results In Nation
Wide Publicity

LANDER, WYO.-How a simple
Leap Year idea introduced by D..
Miller, editor and publisher of the
Lander Evening Post, developed
into a feature that created general
community interest and attracted
nationwide attention to Lander
and the Evening Post makes in
teresting reading.
At the start of the year Mr.. Mil
ler announced that the Evening
Post would publish a list of all the
eligible bachelors in Lander and
Lander Valley. A prize was Of
fered to the first girl or woman
who landed one of them On Janu-
airy 2 list of Is bachelors was
published as a starter, and they
were declared charter members of
the Evening Posts Leap Year club.
The list was added to each day,
and on January the complete
membership Of more than 10 eli
gible bachelors was carried. Local
readers liked the idea and helped
compile the list as wei as furnish
ing humorous sidelights.
The Associated Press carried
the story of the Leap Year club,
and the Evening Post began re-
ceiving letters from girls, spinst-
ers, and widows in such widely
scattered states as Massachusetts,
Florida. Alabama, Tennessee. 1ndi-
ana, Kansas, Oklahoma California
and Washington, in addition to
Wyoming. The letters were pub
lished without name of writer, and
each writer was sent a copy OF
the issue carrying the full list of
bachelors.
On February %, E. M. Baker, 4S,
local Western Union manager and
a confirmed bachelor" married
Miss Edna Highland, much to the
surprise of the community. That
story was also carried by the AS
sociated Press. The marriage and
a continuation of the letters kept
alive local interest, and the whole
thing eliminated March 1924
when R. f. Geiger of the Denver
bureau of the Associated Press
came to Lander to secure pictures
and material for Leap Year club
feature. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker and
local bachelors and unmarried
women co-operated by posing for
pictures. The women appeared as
members of the Ladies Protective
league, organized to protest
against the Posts part in attract
ing the attention of outside ladies
to local bachelors.
A barn dance at Milford grange
hall six mi'es from Lander was
made the center of a Leap Year
party Saturday night. Most of the
500 guests appeared in cowboy or
cowgirl attire, and more pictures
were taken. A feature of the eve
ming was raffling off a bachelor,
the single-woman winner to have
him as her escort for the evening.
Besides covering the Leap Year
feature, the Associated Press man
found other subjects which inter-
ested him during the visit. These
included the colorful Shoshone and
Arapahoe Indians, and he photo
graphed number of them.
The Lander Evening Post makes
the claim that Lander is the small
est community in the United
States which has a six-day daily

THE WORKING MAN PAYS

Who bears the heaviest burden when an unjustified
strike is called? That is easy to the working
The San Francisco Employers Council recently pub
ished survey of what happened in number of recent
strikes. In 1876 employees lost 81 days wages
and the strike finally called off another 53 EN-
ployes lost 67 days wagesand the strike was called Off
In another $50 employees lost 107 days wages-and the
strike called off
So it goes down long list And in the case of really
big STRIKES such as that against Chryser the wage loss
to workers runs far into the millions.
Labor organization is desirable A we'll organized
and fairly operated union great asset to the aborng
man. But the unusfed strike usually the result of un-
principled, self-seeking labor leadership Such labor
leaders don't have to worrtheir salaries go on as usual
It's the working man who pays and pays and pays.

were enlisting and many had been sent overseas.
All the women were lni tting socks and sweaters.
Entry into Canada is complicated than

FIREROOFING CURTAINS

Did you know that you could fireproof your
tains? The Bureau of Agricultural Chemistry and En-
cheering recommends the following:
"Mix ounces of boric acid and 7 ounces Of borax
in quarts Of hot water. IF you powdered boric
acid, make paste fir st with little water, then
add the remainder. Dip the curtains into the solu-
lion, wiring them out, then hang till nearly dry and
iron. Be tains clean and dry before dio-
ping. The solution may not work wet curtains.
Another way is to sprinkle the curtains with the
soluti on before you iron them. Sprinkle them well,
using moderately hot iron, but do not iron then
to tn point where they almost dry.
Remember the treatment has to be renewed each
time the curtains washed and dried"
