economy of administration.
FOR COUNTY CLERK

date for County Clerk, is well known
to most of the voters of Park County

busy looking after your affairs in the
office that he will probably not get to
see you personally. He is never too
busy to answer your letters or a tel
ephone call and his records are among
the best in the state. Voters, it is to
your interest that this office is not
changed and you should vote to keep
an experienced man and one who is
familiar with the records and ab
stracting in this office.
If you have had no business deal
ings with him, ask your neighbor who
may have had. Vote for Jim. He will
appreciate it.

date for County Treasurer. A home
steader in the year of 1909. he’ has
served his district as school director.

term on the board of directors of the
Shoshone Mutual Insurance Company,
which has over 9400,000.00 of insur
ance in force. Mr. Herrington is well
qualified for the position he seeks and
promises an economical administra
tion. Taxpayers who wish to pay
less tax will vote for Herrington for
County Treasurer.

An allegorical concept of the Red Cross as a peace-time ideal is em
ployed by the American Red Cross in a new and striking poster for its
Annual Red Cross Roll Call. Spread out before the heroic size figure is the
outline of the United States with a Red Cross superimposed upon it while
around its borders are sketched scenes depicting the chief activities of the
Rod Cross today—service to disabled veterans of the World War, disaster
relief and promotion of the public health. The poster is the work of
Lawrence Wilbur, a New York artist and will be displayed througnout tl>e
country during the enrollment of the Red Cross membership for 1923.

This advertisement authorized and paid for by Democratic County Central Committee
ed a delegate to the Oklahoma con
stitutional convention and helped to
make the state constitution. He mov
ed to Wyoming in 1908 and home
steaded near Powell. He was made
Receiver of Public Moneys at the
Lander Land Office and served in that
office from July Ist, 1914, to June
30th, 1922.
Mr. Edley’s varied experiences in
public affairs makes him well quali
fied for the office he seeks.
W. H. LOOMIS
is the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff. He is a pioneer on the Pow
ell Flat and has a good reputation as
a business man. He stands for a
fair, forceful and business adminis
tration and the enforcement of all
laws and has lived long enough with
us to know we make no mistake when
we vote for him for sheriff. A vote
for Loomis means a saving of money
to the county and a fairer enforce
ment of law.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES
The Democratic Party of Park
County presents as its candidates for
State Representatives John Hendricks
of Powell and I. N. McGuffey of Cody,
both dirt farmers. Mr. Hendricks has
been secretary of the Farmers’ Union,
a member of the Shoshone Mutual
Fire Insurance Company and the Wy
oming State Beekeepers Association,
and a disabled veteran of the Spanish-
American War. He promises, if electj
ed, to introduce bills for insect pest
control, bank deposit guarantee, and
elevator grain storage protection. -
I. N. McGuffey favors remedial leg
islation for agriculture and labor, nec
essary legislation that will enable the
farmers so to control the marketing
of their products that the best prices
and the products thereof will be paid
to them and not into the pockets of
speculators and gamblers. He favors
a policy by which state money may
be made available in a practical way
for credits upon farm and home loans
at as low a rate of interest as is con-

VELVET JACKET WAS SYMBOL
Worn by Stevenson, According to
Writer, as Protest Against the
Tyranny of Fashion.
Thus gallantly he appears In my
mind’s eye when I pause In rereading
one of his books and summon up a
fantasm of the author —Robert Louis
Stevenson, gentleman adventurer in
life and letters, bls brown eyes shin
ing in a swarthy face, his lean, long
enduring body adorned with a black
velvet jacket, Henry Van Dyke writes
in Scribner’s.
This garment Is no disguise, but a
symbol. It is short, so as not to im
pede him with entangling tails. It is
unconventional, as a protest against
the tyranny of fashion. But it is of
velvet, mark you, to match a certain
niceness of choice and preference of
beauty—yes, and probably a touch of
bravura in all its wearer’s vagaries.
Tis like the sliver spurs, broad som
brero and gay handkerchief of the
thoroughbred cowboy—not an element
of the dandiacal, but a tribute to ro
mance. Strange that the most genu
ine of men usually have a bit of this
in their composition; your only incur
able poseur being the fellow who af
fects never to pose and betrays him
self by his attitude of scorn.
Os course Stevenson did not always
wear this symbolic garment. In feet
the only time I met him in the flesh
his clothes had a discouraging resem
blance to those of the rest of us at
the Authors’ club in New York. And
a few months ago, when I traced his
“footprints on the sands of time” at
Waikiki beach, near Honolulu, the
picture drawn for me by those who
knew him when he passed that way,
was that of a lank, barefooted, bright
eyed, sun-browned man who daun
dered along the shore In white-duck
trousers and a shirt wide open at the
neck. But the velvet jacket was in
his wardrobe, you may be sure, ready
for fitting weather and occasion.
Long-Distance View.
Looking from one lofty mountain
range across to another, enormous dis

Is said to be between Mount Sparta,

two ranges being about two hundred
miles apart.

market value while the properties and
products of wealthy corporations are
assessed at only a fraction of their
actual value. The best interests of
the farmers will be safe in the hands
of these two men.
P. E. MARKHAM
is the candidate for the Four-Year
Term for County Commisioner. He is
a pioneer of Park County and a man
who has been interested in Park
County affairs for more than twenty
years. He stands for economical ad
ministration and favors the letting of
county contracts to the lowest respon
sible bidders.
He favors county employees receiv
ing pay only when working for the
county. A vote for him will be a step
toward saving money on your tax bill.
CHARLES WEBSTER
is the candidate for the Two-Year
Term for County Commissioner. He
is a farmer and a pioneer of the Grey
bull River country and has a good
record as a member of the Board of
County Commissioners.
The Greybull River country is en
titled to representation on the Board
and in justice to Mr. Webster he
should be re-elected.
The Republicans promised to re
lieve labor. And they did —relieved
them of their jobs.
WHAT THEY HAVE DONE UNDER
THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
“Masters of coal, Iron, steel, cotton
and woolen mills, the grain trust,
meat trust and other great financial
interests have accumulated more
wealth than they ever dreamed of
possessing.”—Senator Robert M. La-
Follette (Rep.) of Wisconsin.
A FEW OBSERVATIONS
The present administration con
firms President Wilson’s suggestion
that the Republican party hasn’t had
a new idea in thirty years.
UVE IN FEAR OF SPIRITS
Copper Eskimos Believe Themselves
Constantly Surrounded by Mys
terious and Hostile Powers.
The Copper Eskimos believe that
many strange and only semi-human
races surround their land. The In
dians, they feel, may be human, but
the peoples far from them are alto
gether strange.
Birds and animals, think the Copper
Eskimos, cun be offended by scornful
words, and the hunter who mocks the
caribou or seal will be suddenly
stricken down by Illness or dogged by
constant 111 luck. Not only must the
Eskimo propitiate the shades of LIS
human dead, but also the spirits of
the animats he kills.
Mysterious and hostile powers, in
visible and incalculable, hem them
in, as they believe, on every side,
so that they never kuow from day
to day whether a fatal illness or mis
fortune will not strike them or their
families —from no apparent cause, and
for no reason, save the Hl will of those
unseen foes.
The main distractions of the Cop
per Eskimos are singing and danc
ing. Practically all their songs are
dancing songs. They have fashions
In clothing. Every man and woman
of fashion should possess two suits
of everyday working clothes, one for
summer and one for whiter, a thick
set of heavy winter clothing for travel
and visiting, and a lighter set of short
haired summer skins ornamented with
colored bands and insertions, fringes
and appendages of various kinds, to
wear In the dunce house on ceremonial
occasions.
To Increase Percentage.
There are no two ways about cider;
when It works it works hard.—Boston
Transcript.
Quaint Custom.
A quaint custom is still maintained
in one of the old streets off the Strand,
the London Times reports. This is the
burning of a light in the hall of one of
the houses all through the night when
everybody Is abed. This light has a
history, and marks an ancient privilege
and bygone right-of-way. The light is
maintained by the Westminster council
and not by the tenants of the house.
The lamp-lighter enters at twilight and
kindles the light, and on his round In
the early morning; he re-enters with a
latchkey and extinguishes it The light
la the remaining symbol of a right-of
way formerly enjoyed by residents tn
the street to proceed to a spring of
water Ln the basement, which was once
their sole water supply.
The Republican party needs mon
key serum. It would then be known
as the gland old party.
What little hope the Republicans
had has vanished. The Denver Poet
has received its price and is now sup
porting them.
Agricultural note: It Is quite cer
tain that Hay will soon be shocked.
They used to talk about the "blood
soaked prosperity" of the Democrats.
The theme now is the oil-soaked panic
of the Republicans.
The Republicans are certainly giv
ing us an economical administration.
They are running the country almost
as cheaply in peace times as did the
Democrats C2T In war times.
It is still* a question whether the
Republicans candidates have ’taken
back* all the names they called each
other during the primary.
You can’t bring peace to the trou
bled waters of business by pouring
Teapot Standard oil on them.
When the Republicans talk about
harmony they put the accent on the
"harm.”
CLIPPING FROM THE
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
Mr. Mondell: "Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to address the
house for two minutes on the work of
this congress.”
Mr. Garrett of Tennessee: "Does
not the gentleman think he could con
fine It to one minute?” (Laughter.
The Speaker pro tempore: "Is
there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Wyoming?*’
Mr. London: “Mr. reserv
ing the right to object, may 1 ask that
the gentleman from Wyoming have
an hour to tell what the congress has
failed to do?”

can Red Cross is chartered by Congress as an official volunteer relief
organization the dome of the Capitol at Washington, upon which is super
imposed a large Red Cross, is the central figure of a new poster for the
Annual Red Cross Roll Call. The poster, which has been pronounced one
of the most striking of innumerable representations of the famous dome,
is the work of Franklin Booth, a New York artist of wide renown. It will
be displayed throughout the country during the Roll Call period, Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving, when the Red Cross membership for 1923 will be
enrolled.
