Helen Newcomb sald yesterday that when the car stopped just ahead of her one man got on each side of the road and when she attempted to pass them they jumped on the run- ning board. She saw that one of them was Dusty Miller. “Oh, it'@ Dutsy Millen,” ehe ex- claimed, according to her statement yesterday, What else couM one ex- pect?!’ She saicl that Dusty laughed and that when she increased the speed of her car the men were thrown from the sides. Miss Newcomb stated that she thought the men were try- ing to commtt a hold-up act and that she did not know Cantlin was an of- ficer rince he did not inform her to this effect. She also claimed that Cantlin used profanity and was abus- ive and had been drinking, since she could smell the odor of whiskey on his breath. When she had driven away from the men she heard shots and her mother complained of a pain in her back and said, “I think I have been shot.” She became frightened and im- mediately stopped the car. It was at this period that she looked back and waw streaks of flame from each side of the road. Denial of any abusive language was made by Officer Cantlin. He also admitted to having fired four shots, the only shots, he satd, which were fired, Mrs. Newcomb has lived in Casper for about two years, She and Mr. Newcomb came here from Spokane, ‘Wash., and opened up the North Cen: ter rooming house at 740 North Cen- ter street.

ALBANY, N. Y., June 30.—Roger W. Babson was today |KERRIGAN BACK OX SCREEN IN CAREWE DRAMA He Was First Actor to Play Cowboy Roles, Way Back In 1909 The first actor to play cowboy roles! That's the distinction held by J. Warren Kerrigan, who plays one jof the principal parts in Edwin Car. jewe's production of “The Girl of the Gclden West,” a First National pic- jture coming to the America theater Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Back in 1909, when pictures were in their swaddling clothes Kerrigan was |the leading star of the day. He was |the matinee idol of the films. He assumed: every sort of role and was |the first to introduce cowboy parts to the cinema. Before 1911 he had made over sixty two-reel pictures in |which he was featured as a broncho- jbusting buckardo. After fifteen years in pictures Ker- rigan is one of the few who still holds hid popularity. Though he retired from pictures a few years ago, the demand for his presence on the silver Isheet was so urgent that he virtually had to return. “The Girl of the Golden West” ts Kerrigan's second picture since he came out of retirement a few months ago. In the story he plays the role years. He at once answered, statement is as follows: men employed, and the auxiliary lines which have developed on account of automobiles. Some of us try to fig- ure what this capital and these men Would be doing today !f it were not for automobiles—how many more homes there more railroad mileage, etc. Very few, however, have realized that automo- biles are entirely changing the funda- mental character of our children and this in turn may revolutionize many industries. “When we were children a mile drive was a considerable trip. A hundred and fifty miles was a great journey for which we would prepare for weeks.

Ever since he has been in pic- tures, Kerrigan has assumed this sort of role on different occasions and he is able to play the part like only a Kerrigan might. Starred in Over Two Hundred Plays. Kerrigan became identified with Pictures with the American Film company, now out of existence. Lat- er he became associated with Unt- versal and remained with that organ- ization for a number of years, star- ring in more than two hundred pic- tures. His most notable production was “Samron,” and at the time was the outstanding triumph in motion Pictures. At the time the United States entered the war, Kerrigan was making his own pictures. Then he went {nto retirement, from which he has just emerged.

Farmer Conference To Be Held In 1924 FORT WORTH, Texas, June 30.— (United Press)—An international con- | ference of farmers will be hela in | Washington, D. C., early in 1924 to devise methods of adjusting crop pro duction on farm lands throughout the world, Benjamin F. Marsh, managing | director of the farmers national coun. cll, announced here today. Aim of the conference, Marsh said, will be to assure fair and profitabie prices to farmers for their crops. The World war, according to Marsh, caused the farmers to release the importance between supply and de- 8 they affect crop production in marketing. “Before the war,” he said, “farmers | confined their attention to supply only and many went bankrupt as a result. | In the future they will make it their | business to see that the supply is -|limited to that the world will buy at a fair price. < ————————_— J.

Today, however, the situation is very different. Young children will go a hundred and fifty miles for a Sunday drive. Our young people use automobiles to go to the store, and to go to church. It has become a necessity We are raising a genera- tion which will actually work and play on wheels, “This cannot help but greatly de- velop certain industries and harm others. At present the automobile is greatly helping the building industry because of the millions of people moving from the cities to the suburbs and country. After, however, this exodus has been completed, the build- ing industry will fall flat. Why?— because instead of a young married couple now saving for a little home— they save for a car—or rather they buy a car on credit. Less money will be spent upon clothing than otherwise would and a different kind of clothing will be in demand. New diseases will develop and a change in diet will be necessary. A generation on wheels must eat much more fruit and fresh vegetables than a genera- tion which walks. “Every business man should study this problem and ask himself how his business will be effected when a generation lives which almost never walks. The road builders will great- ly benefit; but the shoe dealers must suffer. With a given population, less 1s produced by a generation on wheels than by a former generation which did not know the automobiles. If less is produced, there will be less to divide. This means that many if they insist on having automo’ ‘les, and my guess is that they will so insist. “I believe in the permanence of the automobile industry—alhtough, of course, many smal] manufacturers will be crowded out and 1924 may see an over-production of cars. The industry as a whole, however, is stable and {s here to stay. The dif- ficulty is coming when the man who now buys on credit, and assesses his employer to pay the bill, can no asked what is the greatest factor with which the banker, manufacturer and merchant must reckon during the next 20 “automobiles.” His complete “‘We all marvel at the great growth of the automobile industry, the capital invested, the | stand such an assessment once; but very few industries can stand such an assessment continually.

Frankly, I do not know. Only the future can tell. “The automobile industry is large- ly responsible for the condition of business today. The fact that the Babsonchart stands at one per cent above normal compared With 17 per cent below a year ago is due largely to the automobile industry. When one considers that during the first six months of 1 most states will show as many new registrations as during all of 1922—it is remarkable that business has not boomed more. The only answer is that people have bought automobiles instead of buying something else,—that {s, the sales of other things have fallen off corre- spondingly. The Law of Action and Reaction is absolute. Now what will be the reaction of a new generation which knows not the joy of walking? —$<$<_<.____ HARDING GOES FISHING IN YELLOWSTONE PARK BY LAWRENCE MARTIN.
