Muskrat shipments were also high in the first half of the, year approximating 1,750,000. The lowest unit values were recorded in opossums, well under seventy cents each, and the highest classification unit value was fox at slightly under five dollars each. The seniors, accompanied by several of the former high school students, went on a moonlight hike up Slate canyon last Saturday evening. The hike succeeded in helping the students to become better acquaint ed, and to create much pep and class spirit. The football game which took place at Eureka Friday between the Provo high school and the Tintic the home high school, was won by team by a score of 26 to o. This was the third game of the season, making two victories and one tie for the Provonians. The class in modern journalism of the Provo High school, under the su-- I pervision of Mrs. Maude B. Jacob, visited the office of The Provo Post Monday. N. C. Hicks, editor, gave the students some interesting and valuable information which is essential in all newspaper writing.

In both cases the decision was in favor of the child whose parentage was involved. In one case the referee resolved the doubt in favor of the little boy, and in the other case the court refused to cast the shame of illigitimacy upon the child even though the mother had told of her relations with a man other than her husband, and the court believed the story. The two little children who had nothing to say about being born into this world have been protected by the courts. That shows that justice has not been entirely exiled from our laws. Now that justice has been done the two children, what will be done about the rich New York banker who, according to the referees decision has been shown to be the father, of two children by a woman other than his wife, and what will be done with the South Bend woman and the business man, who, according to the judges decision, conducted themselves in a most licentious nature ? It is quite likely that nothing will be done and that shows, of course, the administration of our laws still is far from being perfect. half-bree- KINNIKINIC the State Fair. Keith Boyle and LeRoy Olson were the boys who held up the standard of the high school at the State Fair. The boys left Provo for the fair grounds early on the morning of October 2 and returned the next Saturday morning. They stayed at Camp Hogensen and were under the care of the State Fair officials. Keith Boyle judged live stock, winning three firsts and one second place (losing first place in beef cattle by the narrow margin of one point) wining first place in the final scoring. The Jordan high won first place in beef cattle. The judging included beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, and sheep. Kieth Boyle was awarded a silver optimistic.

Automobile tourist traffic ha3 been much heavier in Utah during the season of 1922 than ever before, according to the records of the Utah State Automobile association. During the month of July, 3618 tourists visited the office. Each one of these tourists was served at the counter with general Information. The records show that each tourist average a little more than nine days in the state, a total of 30,510 days. It is estimated that each spent from $10 to $15 a day in Utah, which amounts to between $300,000 and $450,000 distributed among the business interests of the state.
