The individual honor or killing the most rabbits went to Martel Easton, who was hunting with the Lions, and, who turned in 45 pairs of ears, while Joe Jackson of the Game club ran him a close second with 44 pair. The hunt was staged in the neighborhood of Manderfield, and a total of 503 jackrabbits fell to the unerring aim of the hunters. Of this number 293 were killed by the Game club team, and 210 by the Lions' team. After the hunt a banquet was enjoyed at the Beaver Hotel by the hunters and their ladies at the expense of the losing team. However, the kind people of Manderfield furnished the chickens for the occasion to show their appreciation in having the two clubs exterminate the large number of rabbits which are quite a pest in that section. milforSveous permitcanceled Cancellation of the certificate of convenience and necessity issued by the public utilities commission to Thomas Mastros in May 1925, grantan auing him permission to operate between line bus tomobile passenger Milford and Beaver and intermediate commispoints, was ordered by the sion Wednesday.

Price 2.00 Per Year LUMBER PRODUCTION IN THE BEAVER MOUNTAINS . During the year 1929 213 550 feet of lumber was sawed at the Thornton and Oakden & Hutchings sawmills In the Beaver Mountains. In cutting this timber only trees which have reached the limit of their growth, and defecti ive and otherwise undesirable trees, are removed. This leaves the young thrifty trees to grow for future cut ting and removal of the old trees leaves spaces for other young trees to come In so that the maximum new growth will be made. Under this system of cutting a large amount of timber may be cut every year without danger of the tim ber stands becoming depleted. When one area has been cut over the mills will be moved to new places and after the entire area lias been cut over once. the young trees that were left will have become large enough for saw-- , I timber. This local lumber is the best that can he secured for outbuildings and rough work and should be used mora extensively since Its manufacture purely a local industry. o GREAT MYSTERY DRAMA COMING Laughter, thrills, romance and suspense Is promised with the showing of "A Thief In the Dark," Fox Films mystery comedy drama of circus sideshows which is to show at the Star Theatre Sunday and Mon . day.

W. Farrer. A male quartet, Kent Morgan, Chase Murdock, Ernest Shipp and, Milo Baker, furnished music, Miss Ha Tanner accompanying at the piano. Sympathy of the community was evidenced by the large attendance, and by the profusion of flowers cov ering the casket. "My Father Knows," was sung by the quartet, Elder Walter S. Tolton offering the opening prayer. The quartet sang," Jesus Lover of my Soul." Consoling remarks were made by George Smith, who had known Mr. Limb most of his life. We experienced, a greater feeling of love for one another when drawn together by death. I think God seems more beautiful. To me death has no sting. We ought to be thankful we are permitted to lay our bodies down to rest from worldly cares. God is not a God of death, he is a God of life. We should rejoice then, at the privilege of again taking up our bodies and meeting our loved ones again. Brother Limb believed in our Lord and Savior. He devoted his life to his family, living with them a secluded life from choice. "One Fleeting Hour" was sung by Lamar Morgan. Bishop C. Dennis White said he never saw a more sympathetic audience than the one be fore hint, most of whom had passed through similar experiences and so their sympathy went to the sorrowing family. Our sympathy should not bo, expressed alone In words and flowers. This parting Is but temporary. Wq know not for how long, but we have an assurance that there is no spiritual death. We must so order our lives as to be ready when ever the call comes to us. he said, Quoting from Job, "Trouble comes to man as sparks fly ,; upward." We must be. tried people to see if we are firm. Even Job, who was sorely tried by loss of his earthly possessions, then by the death of his, sons, sorely afflicted, yet was he able to say, "The Lord giveth and the Lord Taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. We should place ourselves In the ; Lord's keeping and tie will buoy us up. Bishop George Palce felt that the occasion was one of the most solemn by which we might be called together. He hoped he might say something ta comfort the widow and her Ave little children. Bishop Palce knew the deceased to have been a devoted husband, always doing all he could for his family. Death comes to all of us In some way. Great responsibility rests on the wife, and a great responsibility rests on the community. We have a chance now to put into practice some of the things we preach. We can show whether we believe In the gospel as taught by our Savior, who Bald: "Faith without works is dead." Christ never turned a deaf ear to any one in need. Bishop Farrer thanked rdl who had rendered assistance to the family and hoped the people would remember, them. The quartet Bang "I Need Thea Every Hour." Counselor C. Edwin Palce offered the closing prayer. A long procession followed the casket tq its last resting place In Mountalnvlew cemetery. SCHOOL TO ASSIST IN HEALTH MEASURES As a result of several meetings held recently an agreement hai leen reached between the Board of Education and the physician ot the county whereby all tonsH cases will ne taken caie of at a f" of twentr the normal dollar, J list charge for this service. The need for an arrangment of this sort was realized as a result of the physical examinations that are being given in the schools by the school nurse, Miss Peck. The percentage of casses of defective tonsils is unusually large, and It is hoped that the nominal fee decided upon will make it possible for practically all parents concerned to have their children taken care of at once; especially since the lower, rate will be maintained only while one-ha- lf the nurse Is here. All cases will be handled directly through Miss Peck who will make appointments, and 'arrange for operation dates with the physician chosen by the parent. Parents Interested are urged to get in touch with, Miss Peck at once. The attitude of our county physicians In cooperating to solve this public health problem Is highly commendable, as Is also that of the Board of Education In sponserlng the movement. o OI U LINES Gas, Oils, Feed, Hay, Grain, Corn, Bran and Shorts, Groceries, Hardware and Blue Blaze Coal.
