From now until November people will make pets on the election that seem humorous and trivial. But wait until after the big excitement and notice how very little fun a woman gets out of rolling a peanut two blocks with her nose in front of a hilarious crowd. Watch a wom- an who bet on a candidate that lost and is forced to carry a large sign announcing her poor judgment. She shows little evidence of bubbling over with joy. Or watch a man who promised to wear a straw hat all winter if his favorite lost. It may be fun to make wild conjectures, but help us when we pay our opponent.

(Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association) NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., July 17, Secretly guarded in some ram shackle cabin in some unsuspected place near here is the immense rub- ber ball that is to bounce 66-year. old Bobby Leach of this city to added fame and fortune, or to death, when he attempts his second trip over Niagara Falls, which is scheduled for July 26 or August 5. Though several have tried and failed, Leach is one of the only two pers 8s who have ever gone over the falls and have lived to tell the tale. The otHer was Mrs, Anna E. ylor, who accomplished the feat in @ steel barrel in 1905. She died several years ago. “Aw, I can do it," scoffs Leach on the eve of his perilous undertak- ing. “I made it Inst time in a steel tube. It'H be a lead-pipe cinch to do it now in my rubber football. She'll ride the big plunge like bubble and I won't even get a jar. The rubber bali on which Bobby bets his life against $50,000 for mo- tion picture rights, is shaped ex- actly like a rugby football, It meas. Starting July 25 WYOMING MOTORWAY Will Offer to the People of Casper A New and Efficient Service ures 7 feet 4 inches from end to end and has a width of 4 feet at the cen- ter. It is made of the stuff that balloon tires are made of, accord- ing to Bobby, and cost him $3,400. Its weight, sans passenger, is 284 pounds, In the interior is 2 compact, oblong space, just large enough to accom: modate a man of Mr. Leach’'s dimin- utive proportions. It is here that Bobby will repose, on a hammock suspended at each end by swivel fixtures so that old mother gravity will keep him right side up, no mat- ter which way the ball turns tn its mad flight. Air compartments are at each end of the fball. Just like its smuiler brother and sister foot- ball, the ‘opening is laced up from the outside. “Everything's all set,” gleefully confided Bobby to the correspondent today. “But s'help me, I've had a devil of a time, Now there's the au- thorities. They'll try to stop me But I've outsmarted them everytime before and I'll do it again. ‘Then that airplane conipany where I en- gaged a pilot to tote me out and drop me into the rapids above the Horseshoe Falls. You'd think they were being asked to be a party to a murder plot. “Well, we drew up my ‘death nt.’ I sign my own name ‘Bob- ach’ and they sign ‘John Doe’ from China. And I hand ‘em one thousand dollars cold cash when I gets sewed up in my rubber ball, And that's that ow, here’s the way {t's going to work. At the head end of the ball is a big ring, to which it will be at- tached to’the bottom of the airplane by a rope. A cutter, operated trom the pilot's seat by a lever, will re- lease the ball at the right place, I'll tell them to drop me in the rapids near the Toronto power house. Then for the ride. There'll be enough air inside the ball to keep me alive for an hour, But if I am not picked > up below the fall within 12 minutes, I'll never be.” There is another obstacle besides the duly appointed authorities that stands between Bobby and his plans. That is his famify—‘the old girl" and the “litle girl” as he calls them, “He won't have any home any more, threatens Mrs. Bobby. “It he hadnt already done it once, I wouldn't say anything. Let some ‘one else do something he hasn't done and let him do that.” R The “little girl’ is Bobby’s 15- year-old daughter, Pearl. Her beauty is one of those rare Castilian types. Tall and stately for her age, she dresses like a grown up lady. A wealth of jet black curls that are as famous in Niagrara Falls as Mary Pickfords are in the movies, hang down over her shoulders. Bobby Leach is noted for one other thing besides being the only man in the world who hag traveled from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario via the Niagra river. Though he is in per- fect health despite his 65 years, no life insurance company can be found that will gamble a policy on him. They all know his habits too well. “Money, you know, that long green stuff, that’s why I wenf over. the falls the first time and that's why I'm going again,” says Bobby. “And did you cash In at the box office the first time? asked one. “Did I?’ retorted Bobby, He put both thumbs under his suspenders and swayed back and forth on his heels. Finally, he said: “Well, now that first time was 13 years ago and you don't see me working yet, do you?” ~ Bobby Leach made his first suc- cessful trip over the falls on July 1911. ‘Tho he escaped with his '?, he suffered serious punishment. His jaw was broken and both knee caps crushed. He was in the hos- pital, 23 weeks following his adven- ture. The last man who attempted to ride the falls was Charles Stephens, an Englishman, He went over in a’ wooden barrel on August 25, 1923. Both barrel and occupant were dashed to pieces on the rocks. “I warned the man he could never Way with it,” sald’ Robby to- ‘but now, take my rubber bail, there's absolutely no danger at ail.” * WELL VOU SEE THE | HOOKS ARE HIDDEN BY THE BAIT AND THEY DON'T KNOW THEY'RE THERE. Besides going over the falls on one previous occasion, Bobby has these other daredevil stunts to his credit: A parachute descent from a bal- loon at an altitude of 12,000 feet, or over 2 miles; a dive from the steel arch bridge into the river* below the falls; a distance of 208 feet, the highest dive in the world, and a shoot thru the rapids, he being the only man to do this and come out alive. “There is only one thing I haven't done,” commented this aged dare- devil. “I haven’t gone UP the falls yet.’ i PLATFORM FOR COUNTY 6. 0.P.

We urge the members of the United States congress from Wyo ming to spare no effort in behalf of this great work of*imprévement, The Republican party of Natrona county desires to be placed square- ly upon record for a ten per cent award of oil royalties accruing to the state, to the county of origin and we enjoin upon our represegtatives who may be elected to the state legislature at the approaching elec- tion to labor deligently to secure this end. In view of the fact that a great numbeg of worthy men and women, members of the Republican party of this county, have already announced their candidacy for various public of- fices, that it would be unfair and unjust for this convention to as- sume the authority to select can- didates for particular offices before the approaching primary election. ‘Therefore if it 1s the will of this con- vention, no committee of this con- vention and neither the county cen- tral committee will in any manner interfere with the free right of the Republican electors to choose such candidates as in their wisdom seems fit.

WORLD FLYERS BO TO BROUGH (Continued from Page One) for Brough, near Hull, where their planes will rest for a week or ten days while pontoons are being fitted in preparation for their jump to the Orkney Islands. Half a dozen English planes were in the air when the Americans took off and started with them on the 155 mile hop, The same American and British officials who yesterday Welcomed the ‘ilers to England wished their guests a good journey. The pilots of the round-the-world planes will remain in Brough about two days. They will then return to London while the machines are being overhauled. ‘The airmen lost no time in taking leave of London, As soon as they left the ground they headed for Brough without maneuvering over THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1924.

JAP TARIFF _ ISBOOSTED (Continued from Page One) ard of living in Japan virtually im- possible, thus doing a grave injus- uuce to the foreign community.” The Kobe foreigners also asserted the new tariff “will not only raise the prices of all imports but also will increase the cost of all goods manufactured in Japan, increasing living costs all around and incident- ally injuring the export trade.” The bill is not intended as a reve- nue producing measure, according to government spokesmen, but as a means of correcting a national tendency toward consumption of foreign made articles, to which is attributed, in part, the mounting of an adverse trade balance. It also is intended to protect democratic industry. Trade with America is expected to be very slightly affected, owing to the fact that most of Japan's purchases in the United States are of staple articles such as cotton, iron and machinery. ——— TOKIO, July 17—(By The Asso- clated Press.}—Both houses of the diet today pagsed the supplementary estimates, totaling 265,000,000 yen for the coming fiscal yea: ip FIRE SITUATION [3 IMPROVING (Continued from Page One) hourly expected to gain the upper hand. Virtually all fires in western Washington were reported under control. Governor F. W. Richardson of California, announced that he in- tended to confer with the state forester tofay before replying to President Coolidge’s offer to send federal aid to assist in conquering the forest flres. Forestry officials, however, predicted that federal as- sistance would not be required in view of the present situation. WASHINGTON, July 17.—No for- est fires of a serious charatter Rave occurred on any of the interior de- partment reservations in the west, according to reports to Secretary Work from representatives’ of the bureau of Jndian afafirs,general land office, national park service and geo- logical survey.

OIL HEARING SPEEDED UP. WASHINGTON, July 17.—The government's special oil counsel, Atlee Pomerene and Owen J.

The members of counsel present- ed an informal report to Pres- ident Coolldge and announced that former Senator Pomerene woulé leave immediately for Los Angeleg to ask for immediate hearing on the Elks case in September.
