Borah's threat caused Franklin Roosevelt to change his mood and tacto the tics.

IN WAR ZONB Echo Marjorie Cope, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Holmgren, of Bear River City, and wife of United States vice consul to Germany, stationed at Stuttgaart, Germany writes: "The big guns can be heard on the western front distinctly from here." Stuttgaart is located adjacent to the n Black Forest in the section of Germany, close to the Seig fried and Maginot lines of the oppos-- 1 ing armies. "The American consulate service is engaged continually in arranging passports and transportation to enable Americans to go home. Keep America out of this mess." Mrs. Cope will be remembered as the little girl who won a horse and saddle in a popularity contest con ducted at the Box Elder County Fair and rodeo a few years ago. Of Erosion Projects A survey of the newly organized northern Utah soil conservation district to determine just what type of soil erosion projects are most needed in the area at this time was rapidly nearing completing Monday by the Chairman committee, supervisory Carl Shriber of Howell.

Eighty-fiv- e The first night football game to be held in Box Elder County will be held October 6 at the local lighted park, which has recently been arranged for the game. New poles and reflectors have been added and the fild is now pronounced ready. The game will be between the Ogden Tigers and the Bears and promises to be a thriller. The Bears have already spent a night or two on the grounds getting used to the ball un der the lights. The game is being sponsored by the Tremonton Lions Club. The proceeds will be used to pay the balance on the cost of the lighted park. Everyone is urged to attend and boost for the Bear. The Ogden and Bear River High Scholl bands will be on hand to fur nish the music and there will be plan ty of activity between halves. vice. Following completion of the survey the group will draw up plans for a work program to be submitted to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace for approval.
