Y. WESTERN WARBLES By SILVER TIP We don’t mind seeing a woman keep a parrot if she doesn't substitute it for the stork. De Valera says Ireland is in a con dition just like Mexico. But it isn’t true. The Mexicans never did behave like that. The service men are beginning to ■wonder what has become of the old fashioned liberty for which they were supposed to be fighting. A lot of women in business wish they were men. And all men on trial for murder wish they were women. The stingiest man controversy has been settled. A fellow in Chicago went to a spirit* medium and asked to communicate with his dead wife. He then asked if he could have the charg es reversed. We are all Inclined to magnify our disappointments. The water in the hot water faucet is not really colder than that in the cold water faucet. It Just seems so in comparison with what we expect. WUinq Him Up A stranger was raving the other day as he was coming into Cody from the train. “Why in thunder did they build the depot eo far from town?’’ he asked of the group in the bus. Where upon the driver answered: They do any ft was so it would be close to the railroad/* A New and Greater Gardner Car for 1922 Primarily, the successful automobile dealer is not interested in the price of a car, but in selling a car he knows embodies the quality and value to fully justify the price asked. With a thorough knowledge of automotive machinery, we have ex amined many motor cars for their honest worth—for value—for clean cut character clear through—the responsibility and financial strength of the makers behind them, resulting in an unalterable decision to secure and sell the riew and greater 1922 Gardner car in this territory. We absolutely guarantee to prove to your entire satisfaction that there is no greater automobile value available today at any price if you will give us the opportunity to show you the new Gardner car for 1922 in detail and demonstrate its performance. It’s Value that Counts Oft THE GARDNER MOTOR CO., INC. .... - CORD TIRES STANDARD EQUIPMENT* ~ SIRRINE & SCOVILLE AGENTS IN CODY Some ardent fishermen were recent ly telling an old Cody scout of the beauties of a sunrise they witnessed the previous morning. Whereupon the old scout answered: “I haven’t seen the sun rise in ten years.’’ “No," he added presently, “I am always in bed before sun-up." MATTER OF OPINION One of our Big Horn county editor ial brethren, in commenting on the re cent world’s championship billiard game, wants to know what use a cham pion is, any way o He says: “As a matter of fact what has any wrestling champion, boxing champion, prize fighting champion or any other kind of sports champion created that will benefit humanity or make the world better?” It Is all a matter of opinion. Our brother represents as small a portion of the American public as dbes the man we once heard express himself on a memorable occasion. This man was one of a very large number who were watching the returns from a fam ous fight. Suddenly a bulletin was flashed which read: “Johnson knocks out Jeffries." The old man, a veteran of the Cival dropped his head and said solemnly: “I would rather have heard that the president of the United States had been assasinated.” The old man was radical and extreme, | but not more so than one who can see ' nothing in sports, which the ma- ! jority o-f American people watch with intense interest. What is the use of anything? Are merely eating and sleeping and pray ing and making money the only things which should claim the attention of humanity? We don’t think so. Re creation, which among Americans finds its principal expression in various sports, is just as essential to whole some existence as many of the so-cal led higher virtues. It may not be the real cause, but it is a fact that those nations which have developed their sports to the highest point are the leading nations of the world. The Eskimos and Chinese do not go in strong for sports. But who wants to be a Chink or an Eskimo? A great many people are wild to see a good fight, or a world’s series ball game or a championship billiard match, because it represents sporting skill developed to the highest possible point. And why should they be blamed? A man may, perhaps, carry his in terest in sports to extremes, but we are suspicious of the boy who hasn’t an ambition to be the best marble player and wrestler in his town —the champion. By developing a sense of keen com- petition in the accepted sports of a na tion the champions have done much more for the world than a lot of straight-jacketed gents who want to tell humanity exactly how to be good.
