MIKE HENRY IN CASPER TO SEE BIG-LABOR FETE Mr. Mike Henry, the Grand Old Man of Wyoming, spent a few days in Casper taking in the Labor Day tournament where he had sent a string ef bucking broncs from his world-known ranch “88’’ near the Hole in the wall between here and Douglas in the Cheyenne River coun- vtry. . Henry of the white ously is the oldest pioneer state and also likely the oldest man who has lived continu- in the West since the early days. Coming to this country when it was almost wholly unknown before the Civil War days, he returned East to take part in the great battles in the Virginias and the South under Grant and McLellan. Mr. Henry was a musician and a drummer boy in a Northern regiment and all this at the tender age of 12 years, .An old daugerretype shows the lad dressed in the bright red military jacket of ;youth still on his cheeks. Coming back to the West after | the war, Mr. Henry took active part |in many of the great Indian fights around Fort Fetterman and_ the | Northwest.

Campbell of this city, recently passed his examinations for an en- sign in the United States Navy, he having enlisted as a Jackie at San Pedro, California, some time ago. Judge Campbell, as well as the young) man’s many friends here, are proud of the young officer’s success. An ensign in the Navy corresponds in rank and pay with the office of sec- ond lieutenant in the army. Ensign Campbell formerly lived in Casper, attending the Natrona/ County High School in 1913 and graduating there | went tc college. He tried to enlist at Berkeley, Calif., before the draft in June of 1917 but was rejected on ac- count of having been hurt in an ac- cident when a child. His draft num- ber was so far down the line that he decided not to wait for it and en-| listed as a Jack Tar at Sar Pedro where he took his training. The formal opening of the Grill Room of the Mike Henry Hotel at) Thermopolis, Wyo., took place last | evening. Mike Henry, the owner, is| one of the best known “old hands” in Wyoming. } Canned vegetables _ the ordinary necessities of life in the occupied districts of Belgium have increased in price from 200 to 1,506 | per cent since the beginning of the war.

One man and the right kind of newspaper space will sell more for you than four to five clerks or salesmen without advertising. , The more salesmen on your payroll the more ad- vertising space you ought to employ to keep the clerks and sales- men busy. If you believe in advertising as a salesman—and surely you do when you see it making others about you rich— the only way to make your advertising pay is to keep it work- ing as regularly as your other salesmen. You would fire a clerk who worked only one or two days a week. Give advertising a fair chance and you will get results. : If you are in doubt as to the right way to advertise your business ask an expert to help you. The undersigned will be glad to talk it over with you anytime. Very sincerely, The Daily Tribune Advertising Manager ‘ue :
