O. K. K., of Casper, and the town will be filled with Dokies and K. P.’s who want to be Dokies. Some four hundred are expected from all over the state and a program has been ar ranged by those in charge which will leave nothing to the im agination. The Tiger, it is said, has been without meat for several moons and many Tyros will be at the Cody oasis on Saturday to pay tribute to the king of beasts. Cody is all set for the entertain ment.

During the early part of the day cars will be available to take all who wish to make the trip through the Shoshone canyon to the dam and take a peep in at the famous DeMaris springs. The many points of interest will be laid before the eyes of the K. P. guests that they may know the wonders of the Buf falo Bill country. In the afternoon the parade will be formed at the schoolhouse and this event itself will be worth a trip several hundred miles. An al most endless line of captive Tyros will parade the Cody streets, pay ing tribute in their humble way to the faithful followers of Mokanna, and in the evening they will learn more of the joys which await thorn in this fair oasis. During the degree -work, which will take place at the high school gymn, a dance will be arranged for the ladies and other visiting K.

ROD AND CUN CLUB TO CARE FOR TROUT • The Park County Rod and Gun club has taken on the job of moth ering 500,000 baby trout of the eastern brook variety and the little fishes will be turned over to this organization June Ist. Supt. John son who V as been in charge of the hatchery will probably be retained and will supervise the feeding of the trout until they are ready for distribution to the streams of the county. A few weeks ago the local club was notified that the fish were to be placed in the streams of the county at once owing to Insufficient funds to longer carry on the work of the hatchery. Steps were taken immediately by Otto Koenig, pres ident of the Rod and Gun club, and the problem of financing the care of the little fishes for six weeks longer has been worked out. At that time the high waters will have passed and the fingerlings may be placed in the streams of the county with a very good chance to survive. A drive will be necessary to raise funds for the carrying on of this , work and all who feel that they can contribute toward this enter prise are urged to mail checks to O. F. Koenig, president of the Rod and Gun club. MASONIC LODGE LAYS TWO CORNER STONES ,1 The officers and members of Sho shone Lodge No. 21, A. F. & A. M.. ; participated in the laying of two corner stones on Saturday morning ’ of last week, first going to the Com ’ munity house on Upper Sage creek, ’land then to the Buffalo Bill mern ' orial where they placed the key stone for the beautiful nremorial. The ritualistic work of Masonry was used with Chas. Gawthrop, master of Shoshone Lodge, pre siding. It was impossible for the Grand Master to be here at the time and a dispensation was issued to Mr. Gawthrop, authorizing him |to officiate. ' Owing to the uncertainty of the date of the corner stone laying, very : few people attended the services at the monument, but at the Upper i Sage building the people of the I creek were present almost to a man. 1 HENDRICKS APIARY DESTROYED BY FIRE A loss by fire estimated at around SIO,OOO occurred at the ranch of • John Hendricks near Powell on ’ Monday of last week, when his bee 1 supply store house and twenty ! stands of bees were entirely de -1 stroyed.

Philadelphia has taken up the memorial strain. Mr. Dripps brought greetings from Mrs. Gertrude Whitney, from Mrs. J. R. Force, her executive sec retary and recent Cody visitor, and from Albert Ross, architect, who may be said already to have erected a monument at Cody, for such, said Mr. Dripps, is the plinth itself, as. like the transplanted' sagebrusi now flourishing about, over and around it nothing has been lost in natural ness as it awaits the erection of the idea of the western spirit now immortalized in bronze. In addition to the local Buffalo Bill committee and the press, there were present at the luncheon Mayor Trueblood and Russell Kimball, of whose construction work Mr. Dripps spoke in unstinted terms. From being director of the public safety of the great city of Philadel phia Mr. Dripps comes to the open west giving his time whole-hearted ly and enthusiastically to the reali zation of this dream of Mrs. Whit-! ncy. He is the author of perhaps the outstanding concept of Ameri canization yet published and has promised to send' to Cody people at least 100 copies, a number of which will be available at the library. The , paper while still iYi manuscript form was read by Mm. Force to the . local committee upon her visit to Cody . This brief classic is called "New Pioneers for New Frontiers,’’ and has sounded Just the note that' was inevitable to save the presen ♦ sense of patriotism and establish j it on a more permanent basis.

A. Thurs ton, in Cody. The old gentleman had been growing weaker for seme time and although he was able to be out and cast his ballot on Tues day at the city election and was also on the streets the day before he died, his health was such that I the end had been expected for sonx 1 1 time. On Thursday morning when his daughter asked him if he was i ready to be up and dressed he re- I plied that his heart was paining ! him some and that he did not think he would get up that d A doc tor was called but before he ar rived the grand old man had de parted to that land beyond.

The new lunch room is modern in every respect, everything has , been arranged with the idea of giv ing the best possible service to the greatest number of patrons. The 1 fountain will be a feature of the summer business while hot and cold lunches, salads and short orders will be available.

In his position as director nf pyblic safety for Philadelphia Mr. Dripps was at the head of several i bureaus, police, fire, building, con struction, correction, etc., and had the ranking place on the mayor's cabinet, which means that in the event of that official’s death, Mr. Dripps would have been mayor of I Philadelphia.

He was floor leader of the Common Council of Philadelphia for two terms and in the words of Wyoming’s Senator Kendrick is very “level-headed:” He has been in Wyoming about two weeks and has toured a consider able part of the state, reserving his visit, to Cody to the last that lie might be able to talk over with the local committee the situation as he found it over the rest of the state, in order to win the support from the east, which will be necessary to put this project over in the big | way. While the statue is to be erected at Cody ,it is a gift of. all! peoples to Wyoming. J. C. Thomp son, Jr., of the Cheyenne Tribune I is actively interested and is head ing up the movement in the can- i ital. In company with W. R. Grier, president of the Rotary club oT j Cheyenne, and Geo.

Emanuel Faust In the passing of Grandpa Faust, one of the fine characters of years is lost in this country. Born dur ing a time when things were prim itive when compared with the mo dern era of today, his long life covers a span of years which is al most impossible to appreciate. Springing from a Puritan family, many fine principles were inculcated into his character which were ap parent in all his later years. Af filiating with the Methodist church many years ago at St. Charles, lowa, he has since been an active worker (Continued on Page 6) CODY HIGH GRADUATES LARGEST CLASS IN HISTORY OF SCHOOL Twenty-one Graduates Received Diplomas Friday Evening—Gladys Tyler and Orin Kepford Honor Students President A.

No matter which of the grades a person may travel, no matter how far he may get along the journey, it matters not so much as how he travels and how he meets the many obstacles which will confront him on the way. What really counts is how he com bats the elements he must over come. He must be a fighter—not a quitter. He must be an optomist —not a pessimist. He must have faith in himself.
