The organizations agreed that “‘Am- erican lives and Uberty are endanger- ed, and their prestige and business are being destroyed by lack of strong action.” A cable of protest. was sent to the secretary in Washington.

SINCLAIR ELECTED LION GOV. AT LUSK Sheridan Is Named As Next Convention Center—500 Attend Banquet Three important results of the Lions convention of this district which was held June 11 and 12 at Lusk in- luded the electing of General Burke H. Sinclair as district governor, the selecting of Sheridan as the next con- vention center and the passing of res- olutions to have the different clubs of the state influence the people of their community to use Wyoming made products. General Sinclair was elected unan imously. Other candidates who had been nominated withdrew in favor of him when his name was brought up. Rock Springs and Riverton were strong pullers for the convention next year, but Sheridan finally won out as being the most. logical place. This district comprises both Montana and Wyoming and it will be readily seen that the northern ecity would be an excel'ent point for the assembly. C. K. Fletcher, princ'pal of the Na- trano County high school read a pap- er on “Home Made Products” which created considerable discussion and ended in the passing of the resolutions mentioned.
