Costumes will be furnished by the Salt Lake Costume company and the event promises to be one long to be remembered. There will be no reserved seats sold. Noah's flood brought no greater great-er problems than present themselves them-selves in the stake operetta "And It Rained." The story of the performance starts out with years ago, when Steele Black, his wife and son, Dennis, Den-nis, and daughter, Maizle, go out west to settle on a ranch. His boyhood boy-hood friend, who has become very wealthy, decides to take his lovely daughter, Maibelle, out west at look for him. Maibelle Is anxious to go because she has recently learned that Steele Black has in his possession an old mirror that hs4Jeen In her family for generations and having a great penchant for antiques, she wants the mirror. She is angry because she thinks Mr. Black has stolen it. Dennis Black, returning from college col-lege sees Maibelle on the train and is much attracted, but is determined to warn his father, when he overhears over-hears the discussion concerning the broken mirror. In the meantime a terrific storm washes out the railroad rail-road bridge and all on the train are stranded. Forced to take refuge ref-uge in a summer hotel which is having hav-ing its formal opening that evening, Dennis finds his young sister, Maizle. Maiz-le. She has left the ranch with one hundred dollars her grandmother gave her. and is going away to a girl's school Her train was stalled on the opposite side of the river but she and a college glee club suc ceeded in making a hair-breath escape es-cape across the bridge before it fell Into the water. Dennis assures her that she is not safe even there as their father would follow, however, he tells her the story of the old mirror and they de dde that to get to the bottom of the trouble they must not be known as brother and sister. So the plot thickens. Misunderstandings arise. Curry Rich gets into all sorts of trouble trying to hide Maizle from her father who arrived In a flying machine. With the quick moving of dos ing events, it is decided by all that "it is an ill wind that blows no good." This seems very true in this case and we leave them all happy and satisfied and Malzla, still in possession of her hundred dollars, which she is assured may come in handy to well, say (buy a stove) o Prowler Enters Local Home Complete Control Of Deer Creek Project Sought A new angle has developed in the Deer Creek project this week which tt is hoped will give Utah county complete ownership and control of the Deer Creek project and bring about a development of the sections never before dreamed of. A proposal to keep all the waters of the Deer creek project. Including the 33.000 acre feet to be secured through the construction of the Du chesne tunnel exdustve for Utah county, is meeting enthusiastic re sponse thoughout the county, J. A. Owens, director of the Provo cham ber of commerce, sponsor of the plan, announced Tuesday. Instead of seeking subscriptions from Salt Lake City and Salt Lake county water users, tt is proposed to bring the south end of Utah county into the project. Officials of cities in that section and members of the Utah county commission look with favor on the plan. It is said. as it would be a means to end the water shortage problem of that New Pension Lien Agreement Adopted Members" of the state board of public welfare recently adopted the form of "an aginmient to reim burse," which win be Invoked In old age asaistano oases where recip ients possess property. The agreement is based upon a property Ben and provides that property of old age assistance cli ents shall pass to the county upon the death of those chente as reimbursement reim-bursement for relief received. Darrel J. GreenweQ, state welfare wel-fare director, explained that the lien contemplates no transfer of property while old age pensioners are alive, and provides that before enforcement of the lien reasonable expenses of the last Illness and funeral charges will be deducted, as well as taxes and expenses of administration. He added that the agreement was modeled after the New Jersey plan. The agreement is between the relief client and the board of county commissioners of the county in her to a rich reward In His Ce lestial kingdom. Though tears be -dim our eyes, our hearts unite In praise to Father that our lot was cast With her. To know and love which has enriched our lives. Forever, sweetly, will her memory last. Comfort oh Father, send and help each one to live To emulate each day her life of worth; That in the great eternity shell meet m perfect Joy the ones she loved on earth. A new suit, bought for the Junior Prom and worn but once was saved from the hands of a passing Strang er Sunday afternoon when Dan Hunter returned home quite un exnectedly. Dan. whose home Is in Alpine, is living with his sister, Mrs. Robert Crookston, Jr., of this dty. The suit had been left on a day-bed day-bed in the kitchen. On entering the room Dan noticed it was fcone and went to the upstairs rooms to see lf his sister had hung It up. A stranger strang-er was standing in one of the upper rooms and when asked If he had the suit in his bag he answered, "yes and I'm a dirty thief." Remarking he guessed he had better be going, he rushed out and along the highway towards Provo. ban said he was too excited and thrilled at getting his stilt back to notify the authorities and let the stranger get away. 'shaH be enforced in the manner provided by law for the enforcement of Imartoama unnri ml nmrvrtr " hut stipulates that county boards may not enforce the lien during the lifetime life-time of the client or during the lifetime life-time of "his or her surviving spouse.'' Mr. Green well explained that the agreements are designed to extend old age assistance to borderline cases, where clients may own property prop-erty but have no income. The lien Is required to protect the tax-paying public against abuses which might arise from the public support of aged persons whose es tates might cherwlse- paaartor- sponilble relatives.

J With the fertile lands of the en' tire county abundantly supplied with water this county would undoubtedly undoubt-edly become one of the richest agricultural agri-cultural sections in the west, Mr. Owens declared. Industrial expansion expan-sion also would be greatly stimulated stimu-lated in this district as a result of this added water supply, he said. It Is explained that a high-line canal along the mountain east of Provo and Bprtngville would be feasible and not too costly. This opinion was concurred in by Elmer Jacob. Provo dty engineer ana projext manager f w peer .creek. The problem of putting the water on lands in the southern section of the county would be easier solved than if the water were sold to Salt Lake City where an exchange pro gram would have to be worked out, Mr. Owens declared. He said a nign line canal, as proposed, would bene' fit fruit farmers in the eastern sec tion of Provo, Mapleton and Span ish Fork. It was pointed out that under this plan, does, lnciunins; Springville, Spanish Fork, Payson and 8"Wl'Hr. as well as tne irritation irri-tation districts, could secure water. Further study of the proposal wm v mata at tne instance oi w chamber and the data secured will be presented to dty officials and civic dubs of the section. With the project being entirely a Utah county affair, Mr. Owens as serted that greater advantages will accrue to this district and Utah county would become the agricultural agricul-tural and industrial center of the state. Water which Is vitally need ed for Industrial development would be abundant, with the Duchesne in eluded, he declared. Securing of winter flow and flood vtj-r from the Duchesne river through this tunnel is also neces sanr. he said, as this water, which will be diverted from the Colorado river system will be lost to the great basin unless put to beneficial use without further delay. He asserted the Deer creek project is the only method through which this can be done immediately. This danger lies in the fact that other states par ticipating In the Colorado river de velopment program may lay claim to this water, he said. o Local Republican Party Reorganized O DeVere Wootton was re-elected Republican chairman of the Amer lean Fork precinct at a meeting held Monday evening In the dty halL He will be assisted by J. E. Chadwlck as vice chairman. Mrs. Blanche Tat tersollwas re-appointed chalrwom an 'with Mrs. Mable Adamson as vice chairwoman. Wayne E. Chad vkik was again appointed secretary and treasurer of the organization. The call for a reorganization of the nrecincta of the county was made by County Chairman Ed. M. Rowe. Chairman Wootton reported that the national committee has al ready many plans laid for the com' lng fall campaign. District chairmen were elected as follows: First district, J. E. Chad wick; Second district, Lucian Cran dall; Third district, Karl Bennett; Fourth district, Leiws Steggell. The district chairwomen and committees are to be picked by the chairmen. Mr. Wootton, Mrs. Tatteraoll and William Elsmore will act as county committeemen. Mrs. Tattersoll will also be head of the finance committee com-mittee with the privilege of choosing choos-ing her help for this work.. (Taken from files of April 10, 1826) Thursday, April 15th, has been de clared a holiday by Oovemor Dera and American Fork will observe it such. The day will be spent m general clean-up which win include all private lota and the streets of the entire dty. The work is expected to start promptly at 8 a. m. and be completed by noon. A free picture show will be given at the Realart commencing at 3:45 for an workers. The business houses will be closed during the clean-up. Ten Years Ago Now Plans are now being drawn for the enlarging and remodeling of the Bank of American Fork building on the corner of Center and Main street The Improvement will change the appearance of the entire comer and win cost upwards of 615,000. It means that the bank will occupy the entire ground floor of the building and that two other businesses will move into new quarters. The building build-ing wul be made one of the most up-to-date south of Salt Lake City. Ten Years Ago Now-Last Now-Last year, Utah attained second place among the various states, with a total output of 2.708,817 100 pound bags of sugar, or 15.04 per cent of the total output So far this season the acreage contracted is not as great as last year, and unless an earnest effort is put forth by everybody every-body concerned, last season's figures will not be reached, it Is said. It would be particularly unfortunate lf such a thing should happen, since approximately SO per cent of the sugar produced In this state is sold in eastern markets and the proceeds received are a big factor In the Industrial In-dustrial life of the west. Ten Years Ago Now With the advent of spring weather the Timpanogos Outdoor Committee is organizing, and making plans to put the popular Timpanogos cave, American Fork canyon. In shape for what is expected will be it's biggest year since the opening. At a meeting meet-ing Saturday evening the committee organized as follows: C. L. Warnick, president Leo Meredith, secretary, Vivian West C. E. Young, J. L. Firmage and S. L. Chlpman, directors. direc-tors. Ten Years Ago Now Miss Vee Aydelotte, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
