Cody Wins From Casper
Joe Bennett, David Cozzins and
Myer Rankin, the debating team of
the Cody high school defeated the
team of the Casper high school at 1
Casper last Friday night receiving
the unanimous decision of the judges. |
The question at issue was the ship-'
ping subsidies and the Cody team
was assigned the affirmative. This
question had been debated previously
three times by Wyoming high school
teams and each time won by the neg
ative, because of the natural advan- 1
tage of points afforded that side. !
Joe Bennett was Cody’s first speak- j
er. He had the difficult task of intro- ,
ducing the subject to the -audience
and judges. He made a clear, con- J
sise statement of the facts in lan
guage of classic polish that at once
won the audience and made an excel-.
lent impression on the judges. His
effort was received with tremendous ;
applause.
David Cozzins made his first ap
pearance on a public platform and .
hi 3 effort was a complete surprise to
his coach, his associates and even'
himself. He became so wrapped up '
in his theme and had such thoro pre- !
paration that his arguments fell into |
line with a percisi«n and telling es- j
feet. He closed with a peroration
at the sound of the buzzer that sum
med up his arguments and scored high
for the negative side.
The last speaker for Cody was My
er Rankin who used every minute of
the allotted time in pouring his argu
ments across the platform. He had
debated the question on both sides,
gathered material from every availa
ble source and had literally lived with
the question for six months. In
making a statement he quoted author
ities to prove his points and ham
mered his arguments on the oratori
cal anvil until they glowed with fer
vent heat. The speaker showed re
markable ability and carried his aud-_
ience by storm.
In the rebuttal the Cody team was
even stronger for in this the test of
original thought and initiative was
brought into play. They had the
subject so thoroly in hand that the
arguments of the Casper speakers
were answered with a definite per
cision that left no question in the

FIFTY YEARS AGO
The man who took out an Insurance Policy for the benefit of
his family had to "beat it" home by the back door to avoid sup
erstitious neighbors who accused him of trying to fly in the face of
Providence.
TO-DAY
The man who isn’t insured somewhere for the protection of
those dependent upon hint is regarded as an improvident Citizen.

side had the better of the argument.
| The news was phoned to Cody and
within a few minutes all the students
| knew of Cody’s victory. On Satur
| day evening the team was met at the
train with high school colors flying
and a reception was tendered Ran
kin and Cozzins at the school grounds.
Bennett stayed to spend Sun
day with his brother Bertram.
1 Prof. A. A. Slade recounted the
I victories of the Cody high school,
; mentioning the winning debating
, team of 1915 and the last season’s
. basket ball team in connection with
| the Casper debate. He paid a glow
ing tribute to the spirit of Cody’s
school and the hard work that was
1 being done to succeed in all lines of
, endeavor.
; Mr. Blanchard, the coach, was call
ed upon to give the details of the trip
and he spoke of the hard work the
i boys had done and the determination
' they had to win. Rev. W. G. Pit
] kin who had assisted in the prepara
j tion of the team and the assignment
of points and had worked night and
1 ! day for several weeks in getting them
iin shape was escorted to the plat
form amid the yells and shouts of
the students He modestly credited
i the team with the victory but failed
to convince the student body that his
work did not play a large part in the
: success of the undertaking. Miss
■ Brady recited an original poem and
1 paid a tribute to the young ladies of
, the school for the spirit and enthus
iasm they had displayed in the efforts
i of the school to get to first place.
> Cozzins and Rankin spoke in appre
ciation of the support they had re

■ and the hard work that had been done
- to make the victory complete. They
- mentioned the splendid treatment ac

The heads of the passenger de
partment of the Burlington system,
P. S. Eustis of Chicago, and L. W.
Wakeley of Omaha, were Cody vis
itors Friday and Saturday and came
for the purpose of making final ar
rangements for the opening of the
Eastern entrance to the Yellowstone
park.
The gentlemen came in their pri
vate car and were met at the Irma
and entertained at an informal din
ner by Dave Jones, S. C. Parks Jr.,
Dr. F. A. Waples, J. M. Schwoob, E.
V. Robertson and Gus Holm’s.
Mr. Eustis outlined in detail the
plans of the Burlington to get behind
the boosting of the Cody way con
firming all that had been previously
announced concerning the additional
train service and the motor company
that is to handle the business between
Cody and the Lake hotel.
Three Thousand Tourists
“We have guaranteed this company
3.000 passengers” said Mr. Eustis,
“and with the advertising on bill
boards, in magazines, with folders
and the local papers all over the
country there islittle doubt but that
our guests over the Cody way will
exceed that number.
“The new train service will cost
the Burlington SIO,OOO and the cam
paign of advertising we have inau
gurated will total an amount that is
almost staggering. If we can once
get the business started over your
scenic route we are confident that it
will become the most popular en
trance to the park.
“The trains will leave Billings
about midnight and reach Cody
about four. Passengers will leave
the coaches at seven and be at the
Irma for breakfast. The same mom

Rev. Columbus Wardlaw,
Member Library Board
Powel boasts— and 1 think Bhe Is
justified in it — of having the highest
educational standard, or to put it in
the Inverse order, the fewest illiterates
of and community anywhere accord- j
log to population. There are more j
college and university people on the J
Powell flat than can he found In any !
other vicinity with no more Inhabi
tants. This is her claim: Her peo
ple are a reading people. Their
reading is of the very best literature,
ami on a very wide range of subjects
Kin a- 3 library con only be useful
to a reading people, It would seem
'that the Park county library might be
very uFof”i to the Powell community
unless there is some lilnderance.
True, the library t s not located In

not traveling by railroad, and there
are two trains each way every day ex

The law directs that t! o “best pos

j convenient use of the hooks by resi
dents or Park county who live out of
the town where the library is situat
ed." These provisions are to be
made by the library board. I feel
‘justified in saying that, the present
board will see that the direction of

Party Visit* Northfork
Saturday morning the railroad
party accompanied by E. V. Robert
son, Dave Jones and the Herald man,
motored up the Northfork to inspect
the road and furnish first hand infor
mation to Mr. Eustis and Mr. Wake
ley as to the conditions.
The road as far as the Morris
ranch was practically completed un
der the work of Chas. Enochs and
crew and from there to the Will
Richards place was in excellent con
dition requiring very little work
aside from dragging. The last six
miles to the forest reserve line was
in bad shape and necessitates S6OO
worth of work to put it in condition.
The work which Enochs has done
was paid for by subscription, the
county paying $750 and the business
men of Cody and the ranchers along
the road paying a like amount. The
financial matter has been handled by-
Dave Jones who estimated the
amount of work still necessary to be
completed.
Burlington Makes Pledge
The Burlington thru a pledge made
by Mr. Eustis agrees to guarantee the
S6OO still necessary, one-half the
amount to be paid by them and the
other half by the Cody-Sylvan Pass
Motor company, stipulating, howev
er, that the local people take care of
the work necessary in the canyon
and raise enough to pay the $l5O
which the committee has gone into
debt to carry the work this far. The
work in the canyon is estimated by
Mr. Jones to cost about SIOO.
