Saturday afternoon a "Snow and Ice Carnival," one of the most beneficial and enjoyable of all the forms of parties, will be given at Tremonton. The president of the Mutual has spent much time and energy to prepare a place for this ice carnival. The ice will be in very fine condition by Saturday if the present weather condition prevails throughout the week. Now boys and girls, men and women, listen to this! At your arrival at the skating rink, located just over the Malad river hill two blocks south of the old L. D. H. hall, you will be able to enjoy a pleasant outdoor evening on the ice, ride down the river hill on a sled or schooner a toboggan if obtainable without the loss of pleasure which results in ascending the hill. We are planning to draw the ladies and those who might enjoy coasting down, back up the hill to enjoy all Hockey players will find this a most interestnig place on Saturday. We are planning to have you do your stuff, so please bring your hockey clubs and any other equipment you think necessary to stage this fine re-rid- game. . There will be many skate, ski, and snowshoe races, bonfires, snowman building and many other outdoor sports. Beginning at 9 o'clock there will be the grand "Snow Ball" at the new recreation hall, at which the Baladeer orchestra will play sweet strains of dance refrain. Regular admission will be charged for the dance, but the ice carnival will be free to everybody. Is everybody coming? Surely! Community Players to Stasre More 'Thrillers' The Community Players will appear Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at the High school auditorium in "At's It," a comedy of rare spiritedness. From one line to another the brittle biting humor overlaps, evoking constant laughter. Helen Harvey, and Bill Ruitenbeck will be cast in the leading roles which they will handle with sympathetic deftness. Wylma Anderson and Willis Hess- - will be seen in delightfully n vivid parts. Phyllis Paxton and Buxton will be as funny as a pair of jolly regular Irish folk can be, and not to be outdone as an ardent character, Carma Kay will appear as d a dusky maid. Ella Homer will assume a sophisticated society role. Eben Wilcox will be seen as an insinuatingly sinister detective and Orval Grover as a hunted killer. Golden Harris will appear in guise of the law. Aside from the humor a strain of mystery runs riot so that the selection of the comedy and the assignment of the roles gives the Players a perfect opportunity for a regular thriller. The Carter Concert orchestra, under the direction of Jos. Kirkham, will furnish a specially selected program of music between the acts. "'At's It" is a sure winner that actually hasn't a dull moment. Don't miss it! Am-ero- merry-foote- Telephone Co. Holds Stockholders Meetin At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bear River Valley Telephone company, held Monday, Jan. 7, the following business was transacted: t J. Y. Ferry of Corinne' was elected day. t During the time that the Tremon-pto- n Meat & Packing Co., now the San- -' itary Market, was owned by Moses W. Taylor, father of the deceased, Heber was here for a short time with his brother, Moses C. Taylor. At the time of his death Mr. Taylor was president and general manager of the Tavlor Richards Motor Car Co. of Salt Lake City. Mr. Taylor was known by the editor of The Leader from childhood as a fine specimen of boy and msnhood. He was just in his twenties and his many friends will grieve that he should be called hence while just in the flower of his manhood. Spencer will have the sympathy of this community in the loss of his brother. FUNERAL RITES NUMBER 10, 1929 HELDONSUNDAY DESTROYED FOR ADA JANSON BY Friday night, Jan. 11, at the Bear, River gymasium, the first league game of the Ogden division hoop series will be staged, Bear River meeting Ogden High. For a number of vears Bear River has played the opennig game with ugaen, and lor trie last two years has emerged victorious, although the games have been very exciting and the scores close. This year Bear River expects very keen competition and a hard-wo- n victory. Ogden has a very strong team and, although Bear River has only one letter man back from last year, all of the boys have had considerable experience in the hoop sport, but Bear River feels that they have a strong, well coached team with which to meet the Tigers in the opening game. Cropley, a veteran of the last three years, is showing very good preseason form at forward, having scored 32 points in the three preseason games that Bear River has played. Cropley, d with hi floor clever, play, coupled with an almost uncanny scoring ability, forms the nucleus of the Bear River team, and supporters J of the team feel that as captain "Virg" will lead his team to numerous victories that will spell popularity and a strong bid for a tournament berth for B. R. H. S. this year. In addition to Cropley at forward the starting lineup for Friday's game will probably be as follows: W. Harris, forward; Holt, center, and and Wilcox, guards, with D. Harris and Darley making strong bids for forward positions. Bear River has gone through a se ries of three preseason games without a single defeat, in fact, every game has been won by a large margin with nearly every member of the The preseason squad participating. games and their scores are as fol- FIRE SUNDAY Old Resident of Bear Herald Welling Home River Valley Is Laid at Riverside Burned; to Final Rest Loss Is Complete Funeral sen-icewere held Sunday over the remains of Mrs. Ada Jan-so- n at the L. D. S. chapel under the direction of Bishop James Walton. The services opened by the choir singing "Resting Now From Care and Sorrow." Invocation by John T. Anderson. "Sweet Hour of Prayer" was the next number by the choir. The speakers were W. A. Westmoreland, K. H. Fridal, Jr., Geo. H. Bradshaw and Jas. Walton. All spoke of her faithfulness to the gospel she had embraced, and of her desire to do good. Bishop Fridal, who came from the same country as she, gave a very interesting sketch of the Swedish ration and of the fine class of people from that and other Norwegian countries. Mrs. 0. L. Brough sang a solo, "O, My Mother," the words composed by the deceased's daughter Isabella, to the music of "0, My Father." LaVon Stokes sang "Sister Thou Were Mild and Lovely." The choir sang the closing number. The benediction was pronounced by Israel Hunsaker. Burial took place in the Logan cemetery, at which place the deceased's husband is buried. s Farm Bureau Offers Year's Varied Program Because most of the lecal Farm Bureau organizations have cooperated very closely in the past with the state extension workers, the home demonstration agent offers the following suggestive program which might be accepted in part or as arranged, depending on the attitude of the local women.

The dense smoke that arose from the flames choked the occupants of the home and mace it impossible to remove any articles from within. In attempting to remove the bucket of burning oil Mr. Welling was quite badly burned about the hands, arms and face. The fire department from Garland rendered all possible' assistance, also hundreds of people from the surrounding localities. In spite of their heroic efforts the home, with its beautiful furnishings, which included a new electric sewing machine and new radio, was completely destroyed, only the clothing worn by the occupants being saved. We understand the property was not insured. Kind friends provided bedding, clothing and supplies for immediate needs. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the Wellings in the loss they have sustained. level-heade- Lilly-whi- Many Rabbits Killed in Box Elder County During the past two weeks many jack rabbits have been killed in Box Elder county. Never in the history of the farmers and sports cooperated more wonderfully than during this campaign. We have mixed and placed 175 ounces of strychnine in the Salt Wells, Hansel valley, Snowville, Blue Creek, Howell, East Promontory, Plymouth, Harper and North Brigham districts. This amount of strychnine poisoned 1750 pounds of dry alfalfa leaves, or approximately one ton of bait. This is sufficient bait to destroy many, many thousand rabbits; and after following up the distribution work in a number of districts, we have every reason to believe and know that a great many thousand jack rabbits have been destroyed. In addition to the campaigns, approximately seven hunts and drives have been made in the Promontory and south Howell districts, two in the Salt Wells district, and one in the upper Hansel valley. As soon as the hunts are completed we will finish destroying the rabbits in those localities with poison. Many of the pelts have been saved this season and will be markated for as high as $1.10 per pound. This winter the fur is exceptionally good. It is both thick and long and, as a result, it only takes five pelts to make a pound. Many men and boys, who have no employment, could do well to cooperate with us and follow up the poison campaigns, drives, and hunts, and save the pelts. Last Sunday a thrifty young fellow followed up our hunt on the Rozel flat and gathered up the rabbits as they were shot. He paid 8 cents per rabbit. This money was turned over to the American Legion boys. As a result of his thrift the Legion made some money, and he made good money also. We hope, before another winter, to open up a good market for the rabbits for human food. This year the fox farms have contracted for a few thousand head. These will be fed to the foxes. Jack rabbits are a natural feed for the entire fox family. Messrs. Scott Zimmerman and Virgil Johnson have cooperated with us in running some of the poison campaigns. These men represent the U. S. biological survey, and, as specialists, are always glad to assist in rodent control. Within the next three weeks we hope to finish destroying the major portion of the jack rabbits in the county. We appreciate the cooperation of all who have or will aid in saving the the county have te lows: At Bear River North Cache 29, Bear River 45. At Preston Bear River 37, Preston, 11.

This year Bear River has every fac-- . tor that goes to maye up a championship team: good dribblers, good basket shooters, good floor men, good guards and ball rustlers and one of the best coaches in the north end of the state. With these and other factors contributing to its success, it is believed that Bear River has a team that will merit the support of every person in northern Box Elder county. Remember, Friday, Jan. 11, at H. S., Ogden vs. Bear River. Don't miss it. B-- R. Pertinent Tax Figures Are Given in Bulletin of and Collection "Distribution Taxes" is the subject of Bulletin No. 6, which has just been issued by the State Utah Taxpayers association. Chairman Bigelow, in introducing the subject, says "It has not been the concern of the Utah Taxpayers association how these unassailable facts would be received; whether they would cause satisfaction or consternation." He further asks that they be submitted to the gruelling test of accuracy in order that facts may be the basis upon which taxpayers will form their conclusions. The bulletin shows that of the 100 paid for advalorem taxes, real estate pays 52.40; mines 11.31; utilities 16.60; livestock public intangibles 2.69; motor ve3.81; hicles 2.69; merchandise 3.26; machinery, etc., 2.33; and personal property not otherwise enumerated, for 2.91. The grand total ofThetaxes bulletin 1927 was $20,192,169.28. then shows the average tax upon different classes of property, pointing out that the average tax on an acre of improved farm land is $1.22, while on a dairy cow it is $1.31. The recommendation is given that special taxes should be administered by one department of state government in the interest of better administration, efficiency and economy. A searching analysis is made of the collection of taxes, calling attention to the leaks and losses htrough the escape of personal property before seizure and sale; excessive abatements; liberal settlements of delinquent property and failure by county officials to enforce the law in regard to sale of property for taxes. The startling information is given that in Salt Lake county alone in 1928 there is $53,941.05 in motor vehicle taxes which still remain uncollected; that $23,000 in 1928 was abated although the law specifically states that abatements shall be given only to indigents and incompetents. It is urged that a sworn statement shall be required from those seeking abatements or compromise and that the state board of equalization shall be called in on questions of this character and their vote secured, inasmuch as the state has an equity in all these taxes. The bulletin is replete with vital statistics taken from official records, bearing upon the question of the distribution and collection of taxes. Calderwood Is P.

Taylor, had died in Salt Lake City that THURSDAY. JANUARY UTAH, to Have Fielding Economic State Appointment a Special Program William Engstrom and son Alma and Chester Engstrom of Huntsville were in Tremonton Sunday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Ida G. Janson. Glibort L. Janson, head of the Commercial department of the Branch Agricultural college at Cedar City, was called to Tremonton by the death of his mother. He arrived Friday and returned to his school duties s. i The annual meeting of the Commercial club, at which officers were elected for the ensuing year, was held Wednesday night at the club rooms. There was a good crowd present and all in a happy mood. i President O. P. Bates was in charge and said the reason the meeting for the election of officers was a week behind schedule was that he wanted to keep the job one more week. We later learned, however, that the extra time was needed to prepare his "farewell address," which he delivered in . timely fashion. A report was read covering the activities of the club during the year, and showing the financial condition as of December 31. :. , The next order of business was the election of officers. The members chose to ballot the names of their choice for nomination, The two men receiving highest votes would be the candidate for election. When the ballots were counted it was shown that Ben Winzeler had them scooped and the rules were suspended and he was chosen president by acclamation. A. N. Fishburn was chosen vice president in the same manner. The board of governors were chosen in the following order: Harry Taylor, J. H Fronk, Guy Johnson, Otto Schenkel and Thomas Supan. Retiring President Bates very graciously turned the chair over to President Winzeler, who - done himself proud in a very timely "speech of acceptance," pledging himself and to work faithfully for the progress of our little city and Bear River valley. .... Vice President Fishburn was called on for a speech and made a profound impression on the club members when he reviewed the accomplishments of the club since its formation years ago and reminded his hearers that not a single improvement worth while had been made but that the club was directly or indirectly its sponsor and urged the club members to continue to support the officers in every project they outline and our town and as community will continuevtii.gi'tfw ;' ' " """ t in the past. The officers chosen are rnen of ability and hustle and the people can look for them to do big things during their term of office. Two or three other matters of importance were discussed and the meeting adjourned for one month. ? , .. - Box Elder Physicians Hold Meeting, Dinner With the exception of one doctor, the members of the medical association of Box Elder county assembled Wednesday night at the Midland hotel in Tremonton for a program and dinner. The wives and sweethearts of the doctors were special guests. The evening was spent in partaking of a sumptuous dinner, a talk by Dr. Cooley, who gave an account of his trip through the east where he visited New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Atlanta. The talk was not only interesting but instructive to the profession. Harry Woodward furnished violin s , music. We hope the doctors found the health of the county "disgustingly good," as a good doctor told the writer some year or so ago. To the medics we will say, we like to have you when we are well, we must have you when we are sick. Anyhow, come again. Special Farm.
