IT v Liberty . A fcrKk all ta laafW ' The Uherty - - Bell Utah Lake Threatened Utah lake is being needlessly drained by Salt Lake county coun-ty irrigation companies, it is charged by W. M. Wilson of Provo, who has looked into the matter as set forth in his article in the Monday Herald. The disclosures made are serious enough to be followed up for a more searching investigation by Utah county sportsmen sports-men and civic leaders who still think Utah lake can be saved as a scenic and recreational asset for the state. Steps should be taken to settle the matter for the good of the whole state. While it is true that Salt Lake county farming interests own certain water rights in the waters of the lake, the people of the state of Utah also have other rights in the lake as a scenic resource for use in boating, fishing, bathing and other recreational uses. Surely, some fair and just agreement can be worked-out which respects everybody's rights in the lake without damage dam-age to any particular group. A similar problem arose at Fish lake when farmers threatened to drain the lake for irrigation irri-gation purposes. From all parts of the state came the cry to save the lake, after an attempt had been made to dynamite dyna-mite the dam and drain out the lake. Since that time a compromise com-promise agreement has been worked out, satisfactory to all. The same thing can be done here if Utah county interests inter-ests take the lead in championing the rights of the people of the state in Utah lake.

'Sing a Song iof Safety Irving Caesar, Broadway song writer, who wrote "Tea Tor Two" and "Is It True What They Say About Dixie? has a novel idea for sifting principles of safety into youngsters with a minimum of effort. - Caesar proposes to teach school children snappy, modern mod-ern songs, wltiCjdaitStraces qf ,1937 jnodel swing, which vill teach salety and good manners and make the kids like it. Titles of some of Caesar's songs which he is going to publish in a book are: "Keep Away From the Railroad Tracks," "Ice Skating Is Nice Skating" and "An Automobile Has Two Big Eyes." Title of the book will be "Sing a Song of Safety." Here's a sample of the songs: "Stay away from the railroad tracks, That isn't the plane to play ; For trains' go fast when they go past, And you might be in the way." Pretty good, isn't it? "And bound to make an impression impres-sion "on youngsters. It's a well known fact that it is much easier and better to persuade a child than to drive him. One lilting, catchy song, memorized by school children, will do more good than a dozen lectures and warnings. Wp think voii'vp cot. something there. Irvir?. .AAYBE VTDU DOl'T PAY YOUR CMPLOYEE5 WELL.

By WILLIAMS cr.R.wAi'v Truly Rufat BY X REPORTER This summer I am trading some sleep for some beauty, and some of the so-called refinements of urban civilization for some perfect rest and quiet! And I am perfect ly satisfied that I am getting the best of the bargain. Among other things, I have traded a 10-minute auto ride (or 35 minutes on foot) for a 25- minute trolley ride plus .a 20 minute boat ride. I'm now truly rural and (in the vernacular) how! There is no tnru road within a mile of my bedroom window The night sounds which are natural to that al fresco domi cue are the occasional call ot a night-bird, the choral music of tree frogs and crickets, the rare and distant hum of a boat's motor, mo-tor, and whatever sterterous sounds the master of the bed room himself may make (so I've been told). The trolley part of the traveling travel-ing arrangement is its weakest link. The trolley line is long and bumpy, and the cars are generally crowded. Later on a scooter or some other form of informal and individual transportation trans-portation may oust the trolley ifom my scheme of things. I said I had traded sleep for beauty. Before the move the family had a rose or two, a lawn, hyacinths in spring (and those are important), some pretty pret-ty shrubs and a life-prolonged view of an unbelievable mountain. But now we have several ' miles of blue water each day, a boat to ride upon (the commutation method), and expanse of cedary and firry forest, wild birds of all kinds, a dooryard swimming pool a mile wide, a lawn, lots of roses, hyacinths in spring and a daily view of' the same mountain as the backdrop of a matchless marine view. Anyone who cares to add up the two foregoing paragraphs will see exactly what the net gain is. Who wouldn't give up halt an hour's sleep each day in such a trade? The strangest part of it all and this is the only reason for detailing affairs so personal is that before the trade walked up to me and pleaded its case I would no. have thought it possible. pos-sible. The point of the whole story is that it was . possible all the time and is possible right now to more city dwellers than will ever admit it. Fault Line Cause of Sinking Farm ROBERTSON'S FARM, BUHL, Idaho, Aug. 30 ILE An old fault line, similar to that which caused the disastrous Sari Fran cisco earthquake, may toe respon sible for Harley Robertson's dia appearing farm. Dr. F. B. Laney, .Moscow, University Uni-versity of Idaho geologist, Sunday Sun-day advanced that theory, not as a fact, but as a "possibility," after conducting a first hand observation. ob-servation. Laney said he could not be sure until he had completed a labora tory study of notes, pictures, and sketches. He said he would an nounce results of his investiga tion in Moscow.

He suspected the Colter men one moment, and dismissed his suspicions the next. His regard for Carolee helped with the dismissals. Next day, though, he decided on further action. He would drive in for official counsel. He had leased an eight-cylinder car for their stay in Arizdna, and he wanted to buy some things in Phoenix anyway. Superstition Lodge was only 40 miles from town. He drove directly to the Maricopa, Mari-copa, county courthouse and went in to see the sheriff, old Tex Leatherwood. "Knowed you was. Up thar," the old man told Stuart. "We keep a general eye out on newcomers. Havin' any difficulties?" "Yes, sir," Stuart answered.

HANSEN .BOYHOOD OF JESUS Joseph and Mary, devout and faithful in observances of the law, went up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. This religious festival, it should be remembered, re-membered, was one of the most solemn and sacred among the many ceremonial commemorations of the Jews; it had been estab lished at the time of the peoples' exodus from Egypt, after the aAgel of destruction had slain the firstborn in every Egyptian home and had mercifully passed over the homes of the children of Israel. It was of such importance that its annual recurrence was made the beginning of a new year. The law required all males to. present themselves before the Lord at the feast. The rule was that women should likewise attend if not law fully detained; and Mary appears to have followed both the spirit of the law and the letter of the rule for she habitually accom panied her husband to the annual gathering at Jerusalem. When Jesus, attained the age of twelve years He was taken by His mother and Joseph to the feast as the law required; whether the boy had ever been present on such an occasion we are not told. At twelve years of age a Jewish boy was recognized as a member of his home community; he was required re-quired to enter with definite purpose pur-pose upon his chosen vocation; he advanced status as an individual in that thereafter he coul not be arbitrarily disposed of as a tond-servant by his parents; he was appointed to higher studies in the school and home; and, when accepted by the priests, he became a "son of the law." It was the common and very natural desire of parents for their sons to attend the feast of the passover and tt be present at the temple ceremon ies as recognized members of the congregation when at prescribed age. Thus came the boy Jesus to the temple. . . . . . . ine ieast proper lasted seven -Si a Stuart smiled and admitted that it was so. "But the shooting what about that?" he asked. "I don't know. Prob'ly some mistake. I do know that hardly a month passes, since I was a young man, that some tale of be in' shot at don't come out of Superstition. "Son, shots aint beta' shot at. There's prospectors alw'ys takin' ore sample from up there. And hunters. And ranchers huntin' steers. Any of 'em likely to shoot at rattlesnakes or painters." Stuart considered that a moment, mo-ment, while the old man eyed him. Then the sheriff resumed. "You take them two fellers at the Water Association here, name of Blaine and Briest. Honest young fellers. Said they was shot at. But it was deer season when they was up there, and men was huntin in them hills." "I tell you how it tis f r years, all my life, the's been tales about Superstition. That's how it got its name. Some people have been killed up there, and each one of 'em makes a corral full of yarns come trailin along. People are skittish when they go up thar. I feel it m'self. I can hear shots and flgger I'm bein shot at Son, that mountain's full of ghosts!" -pHE sheriff chuckled a little. J Stuart smiled and nodded. "I ought to know," Stuart agreed. "I saw plenty ot them when I was craving a drink, of water. But dad swore the bullets struck near him. And I can't believe be-lieve my horse slipped over a cliff.'' Old Tex considered that for a moment. "Didn't you say while ago you found a painter den? Some kittens?" kit-tens?" "Yes, sir. They frightened me plenty." . .

PIUTE JOE Celebration at Eureka Success EUREKA So pleased are Eure-kans Eure-kans with the success of the just concluded Days of '49 celebration they are launching plans to make the tri-day festivity an annual event. Although heavy rains struck this " city on two of the three days, they failed to dampen ardor of hundreds of homecomers back to renew old acquaintances. City park funds have benefitted by $2,500 in cash and $700 in pledges General Committeeman John Rowe reports. Victor Thomas and P. J. Fennell are assisting committeemen. Parade, carnivals, sports events, games and "visiting" were highlights high-lights of the festival. days, and in the time of Christ was annually attended by great concourses of the Jews; Josephus speaks of such a passover gathering gather-ing as "an innumerable multitude." multi-tude." The people came from distant dis-tant provinces in large companies . and caravans, as a matter of convenience con-venience and as a means of common com-mon protection against the marauding ma-rauding bands which are known to have infested the country.

The sheriff, in common with most old-timers, loved to talk. He gave Stuart more regional lore, than a book of history could have done. He even told of the Spanish days when Don Miguel Peralta, Sd-noran Sd-noran rancher), was sending .expeditions .ex-peditions up to the mountain to bring out gold ore. ' 4 CTUART didn't accomplish much, but he learned more about Superstition's Su-perstition's treasure than he had ever dreamed of knowing. He had taken the stories lightly heretofore. hereto-fore. Now he was intrigued by the possibilities. The Spanish episodes, and the half dozen or b subsequent murders that were on official record, were convincing proof to Stuart (as to many art-other) art-other) that Superstition mult somewhere clutch a rare treasure.
