A complete and scientific soning sywtem for the city of Casper. A comprehensive municipal and school recreation park syst in- cluding swimming children of Casper. Completion of the established Boenic Route boulevard as planned by the county commissioners to Garden Creek Falls and return. Better roads for Natrona county and more highways for Wyoming. More equitable freight rates for shippers of the Rocky Mountain region and more frequent train service for Casper. pools for the CARNIVALS? WHY NOT? There seems to be an impression which prevails among some pseudo- students of economics that carni- vals are a bad thing for a town. The argument runs along the fami- Nar line of the isolationist doctor- in Casper, the better off Casper will be in the long run. Our motto should be “Something Doing All The Time In Casper.” When a city is big enough, and important enough to draw carnivals and cir- cuses it is getting along. It is short sighted policy to object to the activities which are the inevit- able and proper result of growth, as well as being a means to growth. Entertainments draw people from the surrounding towns into the city. They come to be enter- tained; they stay to buy. Only the tank town can not draw attractions from outside. That is one reason it is a tank town. Cas- per is not a tank town, and the Casper public, on whom all busi- og | ene depends, will object to having a few shortsighted individuals try to put it in the tank town class. Casper is the great metropolis of the state, Its growth and the in- flux of outside attractions are syno- nymous. In the last analysis such interests are a benefit to all. WALL STREET WANTS CLEANUP There are evidences that Wall Street wants things cleaned up. This effort may have been inspired by recent exposures and collapses, not to speak of grand jury investi- gations. At any rate the pubic will be benefited by the renovations, Figures have been compiled whieh show the actual losses through the failures in the last three or four years of over $50,000,000. What the public may have lost through the operations of fly-by-night broker- age offices—the bucket shops no- body can say. A curious feature of the bucket shop man’ equipment was his “wacker list” of names of prospec- tive victims—names of persons who at some time in the past have fallen for the purchase of some fake or worthless stocks, Once on the sucker list the poor victim is al- lowed no rest. If he has had ruin- ous losses in the past he is told in a new circular by a new firm just where he can make a safe and sure investment, recouping all that he has sunk in his previous transac- tions. These sucker lists sell often as high as $5,000 to $6,000. Once a sucker always a sucker seems to ine. Some persons believe, or pre- tend to believe, that the itinerant carnival is bad because it “takes money out of town.” Pressing this argument to its logical conclussion would inevit- ably result in complete stagnation in all lines of business. If a carni- val “takes money out of town,” so does a travelling salesman; so does a business man who has outside in- terests; so does every merchant who buys his stock of merchandise in New York, Chicago, Denver or elsewhere. The road to retrogres- sion is scattered with the bones of those who, have made a fetish of Just such doctorine. It is not sound economically. Leading economists from Mills to Taussig have punc- tured such theories scores of times. It is an outworn and discredited argument among progressive busi- ness men. Carnivals are goof for a city, provided they are run. properly. Carnival companies probably do take more actual specie off a town than they leave in it through purchase of supplies, through the spending capacity of the several handred persons who are curnected with them, and through other such sources. But they stimulate busi- ness. The merchants of the Times Square district in New York, for example, were never heard to com- ..plain of the theaters which nightly draw thousands and tens of thou- sands. They know that one kind of activity, particularly entertainment, stimulates another. The Snapp Bros. Carnival, which is now holding forth outside the city limits at the East Second street show grounds, is the second carnival Casper has had this sea- son. There is no reason why Cas- per should not have two carnivals & summer, or more for that matter. Off the Main Drag, as per is to a certain extent, there is never too be the theory of the bucket-shop- etteers. WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME Miss Alice Robertson, once a member of Congress from Okla- homa, is now welfare chief at the Federal Soldiers’ hospital at Musko- gee. She issues some orders and advice to office girls under her di- rection: Go back to corsets, girls; tend to business, wear decent clothes and don’t try to hark back to the days of Adam and Eve. Now listen to Dr. Evelyn R. Bush of Louisville, Ky.: Go barefooted around the house. Dining and dancing in barefoot will do much for body posture. Abolish corsets and let your muscles do their work. After which the girls will use please—which is what they usually do.

FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1923, Laborer Is Killed | TORRINGTON, Wyo., July 20, — Frank King, whose home was in Scottsbluff, fell from a hay rack and was killed while helping put up hay on the Rawhice Cattle company's ranch north of this city.

He will be brought to Rock Springs next week for a pre- Uminary hearing. Elevator Destroyed MOORCROFT, Wyo., July 20—Fire Presumably caused by sparks from a passing train, resulted in the total destrution of the grain elevator and contents of the Moorcroft Grain com- pany in Moareroft. Smoke was di covered issuing from the buildings about 5:30 o'clock and upon arrival at the scene the flames were found to have made considerable headway in the extreme top of the structure. It was the irony of fato that the Pump at the city water plant was in process of being repaired and the fire department was without means to combat the flames. More than $3,000 wortR of grain was in the building which also became fuel for the flames. Tho loss to the lowners was mitigated by the fact that |insurAnce was carried on both bufld- ing and contents. The greatest loss is to the community in losing the facil- ities of this elevator, which was one of the best equipped plants along‘ the line.
