Three boys who had broken into the J. R. Ware store at Monroe were arrested by City Marshal Martin Larsen on complaint of Mr. Ware. The three boys had entered the building Sunday night, August 12th, through the back door. They took from the place approximately $100 worth of merchandise, consisting of boots, neckties, cartridges, padlocks, pliers, belts, etc. The two oldest tboys had also burglarized the residence of M. 0. Bell. At the hearing before Juvenile Court Judge A. O. Nielson, City Attorney 0. R. Mickelsen questioned the boys and through his tact got a complete confession from them and information as to the whereabouts of most of the goods stolen. It being the first offense by the youngest boy, the judge imposed a fine of $15 on him. The second boy, as he has a fairly good home and his parents vouched for his conduct in the future, was permitted to remain home by paying a $25 fine. The third and oldest boy confessed to committing the crime of burglary on several occasions and as his conditions and environment home were very bad he was committed to the state industrial school at Ogden.

Editor The Salina Sun: Referring to my proclamation issued today, calling attention to a crisis brought about by the floods in the Willard and Farmington districts Monday night, I wish in this more and direct way to ask and urge upon the people of your community the necssity of responding promptly to the needs of these stricken communities. I have appointed the following Flood Relief Committee to take charge of the collection and disbursement of all funds subscribed: W. W. ARMSTRONG, Chairman, JOHN C. CUTLER, Vice Chairman, J. H. RAYBURN. Secretary, H. M. CHAMBERLAND, Treasurer. P. A. John Peters, Bigelow, Bishop C. W. Nibley, Robert Miller, M. S. Eccles, Bishop Joseph S. Glass, H. E. Hatch, C. E. Luce, L. S. Cates, W. H.

All banks of the state are authorized to receive funds on if The amount of money required is of the community. $75,000. It is needless, I am sure, to point out again that necessity demands response in this emergency, and I hope that the good people of Utah will respond generously. Respectfully, CHAS. R. MABEY, Governor. From the offices of Secretary Porte of the Utah State Press association, the following memorial, a tribute to II. W. Cooper, a charter member of the organization, has been sent to all publishers in the state: In His wisdom, the Lord Almighty has been fit to take from us our friend, our brother, our champiqn Harry W Cooper. We mourn his pasing, even as we mourned so recently the death of President Harding, and for much the same reasons. Both were newspaper men; both were endowed with virtues of heart and mind which gave them an unusually film grip upon the affections of their fellow men. Coop, as he was affectionately known to all of us, was stricken last week after a game battle against overwhelming odds. He was a native of Pennsylvania and had lived and labored in Iowa, Colorado, Idaho and Utah always with brilliant ciedit to himself and his associates. He had been a resident of Price and the editor of The since Christmas Day, 1915. During the yeais which ensued, he made an enviable name for himself a3 a fearless champion of public rights; a forceful, magnetic personality whose influence was felt in public affairs of the commonwealth; a community builder; a skillful and keen man; a good fellow and a real friend. He was one of the organizers of the Utah tate Press Association; president of the Utah Republican Editors Club and an enthusiatic, forceful member of every organization to which he belonged. Needless to say, the sympathy and affection of every member of the Utah Press Association goes out to Mrs. Cooper, the faithful wife and helpmate who aided her husband in his climb to success. stout-hearte- 4 4 4 4. 4. 4 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4 4 4. 4 4 4-- 4 41 4 4 4 4' 4 41 44444 41 4 44 44 444 41 44444 44 Educator Urges For Larger School Attendance C. Ray Evans, principal of the North Sevier high school, in view of the fact that the schools of this city will open for the fall and winter session next month, has addressesed the following letter to parents and pupils: For the fourteenth time in the history of Salina, North Sevier high school will open its doors, Sept. 10th. This is the time of the year when parents need their boys and girls on the farm, but I am certain that all can see the great necessity of starting their boys and girls and giving them an equal chance for success. Late starting means discouraged, hard to manage, disinterested, unsuccessful boys and girls.

Every parent desires his child to be honored and do those things worth while Does it pay to have ycrar children make with lifelong friendships, ambitious young people, many of whom will occupy high places later on ?

Hoag, field secretary of the Lincoln Highway association, who recently toured southern Utah with F. D. B. Gay, secretary of the Scenic Highway association recently organized at Cedar City, and official tour finder for the Salt Lake Deseret News. Following the completion of the Lincoln highway, which is about 85 per cent finished, and which we started out to make as direct a line as possible between the two coasts, we will naturally turn our attention to the development of feeders just as a railroad must build its branch lines. Possibly nowhere else on the entire ti anscontinental route will we find more interesting territory to wo;k, since Utah and Salt Lake are fast becoming known a3 the center of scenic America with roads radiating in all directions. We intend to complete our highway directly west from Salt Lake to Ely, but I find that you already have a splendid highway from Salt Lake south through central Utah to Milford and thence to Ely which accomplishes the same objective in a little longer distance, but which has the advantages of being open all the year. This, I understand, your Scenic highway association is attempting to bring to the attention of the traveling public, both east and west, and rightfully so because it will correct an erroneous impression heard in many quarters that there is no good western outlet from Salt Lake at the present time. In a speech which he made before (the Kiwanis club at Provo, Mr. Iloag prophesied that in the near future, one of the great branches of the Lincoln highway would take off in Nebraska and come through Colorado into Utah, thus hastening a work which will be one of the main objects of the Scenic Highway association to perfect Utah and Colorado connections. aa .1.
