Harris, at street, to witness the starting of the Brigham City Wednesday, May 22nd. The case was given to the jury at 6 P. M. and at 7:20 they returned the above verdict. Conviction on the charge of voluntary manslaughter carries a term of from one to ten years imprisonment in the state prison. Sentence will be pronounced Monday May 27 at 10 a. m. By Judge Melvin C. Harris. The shooting that resulted in the killing of Harry Klingenpeel, of Ogden, followed an all night card game in Reed's apartments at Garland, February 8th. According to Reed's testimony he had bought $35.00 worth of liquor from Rieley and Klingenpeel and that they all drank freely of it during the night the shooting after several quarrels and some blows struck by Klingenpeel, and RieReed in ley on the head of Reed. giving his testimony said, after he was struck in the forehead by Rieley "he was half blind" "I went to the bed, got the gun, wheeled and shot". "I did not see Klingenpeel. I did not aim at anybody after I shot they both left the room and I never saw them again at that time." Klingenpeel was found dead at the foot of the stairs by sheriff Zundell and Reed was placed under arrest. new pumps installed at the base of the canal water supply. The pumps have been placed in a cement house built especially for them, they are of the Fairbanks-Morri- s make, and are run with a ten horse power electric motor. A large automatic switch controls the pressure of the line and maintains it at a certain amount, cutting in or out at the variation of the pressure or the amount of water being drawn from the mains. It is believed by the city council that the installing of these pumps will overcome the shortage of water that has been felt the past few years during the hot summer months when the demand for flowers, lawns and gardens is at a maximum. It will also it it believed, answer the purpose and make it unnecessary for perhaps years to come to install a new system for the canal water, giving ample time to retire a large portion of the water bonds now already issured. On every hand expressions of approval of the action of the city dads is heard, believing as they do that a big step at least has been taken to solve the summer water shortage, that has been caused not through lack of water but lack of pressure to force it through the mains.

It appears that Mr. Westmoreland had arisen early and gone to his work leaving the rest of the family in bed with the exception of Ether who arose at the same time as his father and had made the fire in the kitchen range and stepped out into an ajoining room used for a wash house and did not notice that the range had perhaps become overheated and started a fire in the roof of the kitchen.

Dairymen Hold Meeting At Bear River City A representative group of farmers Elwood, Evans, and Bear River City, met in Bear River City Recreation Hall and heard an interesting discussion of the methods of buying, manufacturing and marketing sweet milk and cream, by Mr. Bues, of Weber Central. Much interest was shown by farmers present and a committee was selected to survey the district comprising the above towns looking to the possibility of establishing a dairy route suitable for a large truck hawl. Everyone seems convinced that the cooperative method of marketing was the fairest way for the farmer to do business and in the long run means a better deal always. Son Comes To Gladden E. C.

FIRST PLACE ESSAY "How Cigarettes Might Affect My Chance For Success in Life" By Yoshio Takagaki, 6th grade If I want to gain success in life, I must equip myself with habits that are beneficial and discard those that are detrimental. In this age of keen competition, I must carefully build my foundation firm and strong during so that I shall have an even break with the most competent. I must also be mentally alert and physically fit to meet every opportunity that comes my way. Backed by a will power and In perseverance. other words, my chance for success in life depends upon the degree of my physical and metal efficiency. Extensive scientific researches have revealed the fact that smoking is degenerative, also, that normal development of a healthy physique is retarded; that the body is wrecked by the weakened heart; and the delicate membrane of the eye and respiratory system is irritated by the smoke and nicotine of the cigarettes. Cigarettes lower ones resistance, making one more susceptible to disease, A cigarette smoker is easily recognized by a poor scholastic standing. Besides decreasing the physical efficiency, smoking dulls the intellect. A poor scholastical standing and attitude of apparent unconcern characterizes a smoker. He cannot stand prolonged concentration but fatigues easily. If I should smoke my maximum amount of efficiency would decrease too. The growing boy is injured by the use tobacco. His growth is interfered, his heart is made irritable, and his stomach disturbed. The boy who looks forward to excellence in to achievement in business or the professions, to authority and in stores and factory, will select his habits as carefully as his friends, his food as carefully as his facts, and he will leave tobacco out of the things 5th-6t- 7th-8t- Skid-mo- boy-hoo- re d, athe-lotic- s, For the past eight years farmers and farmers' wives of the state have been guests of the Extension Service, during the summer at the Utah State Agricultural College. This annual visit to the State College has come to be known as the Farmers Encampment and that portion of the campus which is reserved for the guests is known aa the "Tent City" because tent are pitched as living quarters for the large number of farm families who attend. Leading agriculturists of the nation are engaged to give special lecture work pertaining to the best methods of farming. An intensive schedule of work and play is carried out each year which holds the interest of young and old alike. This year the Extension Service feels unusually fortunate in securing the services of O. E. Reed, chief of the Bureau of Dairying, United States department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. to lead in the program which will center around dairying. Mr. Reed is acclaimed to be the most authority on dairying in the United States at the present time. He will spdnd two days at the encampment in July. The Bureau of Dairying in the department of agriculture, has recognized the importance of the dairy industry in Utah when the chief of the bureau at Washington, D. C. has consented to appear on the program at the farmers' encampment", said Director William Peterson of the Utah Extension Service in commenting on Mr. Reed's coming. "Every one interested in dairying is going to miss an opportunity if he fails to appear at the encampment this year where it will be possible to come in personal contact with the chief of the bureau of dairying which heads the industries in the United States." Professor J. B. Fitch, head of the dairy husbandry department of the Kansas State Agricultural College, will also be present at the encampment. Professor Fitch is considered to rank among the three dairy specialists in the country. He will give instructions on modern dairy methods. Modern dairy equipment will be displayed at various points on the campus where the farmers will be privileged to examine the devices, receive instructions as to their uses but no sales talks will be given.
