Weber Downs Bear River By Score 31-1- 7 Fighting hard to .stave off defeat, School played an exciting but a losing game against WeDer at tne local high school gym Friday. Bear River proved to be equaliy as good ball rustlers as their opponents but failed miserably when it come to putting them into the baskets. From a gallery observer it appeared that Bear River had many more shots at the basket than did their opponents. The Weber boys, however,, are not to be discounted as they put up a classy game of ball and will no doubt be of one of the teams to Teckon with. It appears in this game as well as former years that our boys lack size to compete with the other teams. The final score was, Weber ' 31 and Bear River 17. the Bear River High O..P.

A complete survey of final beet tonnage results on phosphated ground is now practically completed andjit will show for the season an increased tonnage of 3.25 tons per acre. The phosphated beets showed earlier and more rapid growth and were far more resistent to disease which attack the best crop. In view of the increased erop-where phosphate was applied the com pany is recommending a 100 per cent application of phosphate the quantity to be applied to be governed by the fertility of the ground to be planted to beets. The company recommends that instead of applying 20 tons of manure to the acre that it be cut to 8 tons and with it 100 pounds of phosphate to the acre."

This having failed the Bishop, took a hand in finding the chicken wranglers and called upon Dr. Luke, Bill Wadsworth, Ren Weidmann and Lee Dunn to stpnd up and ask the crowd to vote on who was more likely, to have had the chickens. A unanimous vote placed the vote against the slanders. A happy thought struck Bill Wads-wor- th that turkeys had also bee, wrangled and that in proportion to the size of the turkey and chicken containers found on these said gentlemen it was voted that Hy Scott should stand up as the turkey consumer. ; It was Tound that there werer some men surrounding the tables who liked Ice cream ed'' two f pretty waitresses were detailed to; keep- Eli Winseler ; Our local townsman C.

I recognize, somewhat, the, difficulties that surround enforcement of law, and am not directing this letter to you to condemn officials, but rather to find out the truths concerning the reports that Tremonton has been shielding a drinking, gambling, thieving gang, that Is encouraging and fostering a lawless spirit of environment which will blight the. lives of promising youths in our community. , ' ..
