NUMBER 14 PATRIOTIC GREEK PAGEANT TAKES CAMP BY STORM Greeks of Camp Hold Big Patriotic Rally and Parade Company , of Soldiers from Fort Douglas Participate Music by Mil-itary Band Raise Over $700 By Contributions. The Greek parade and colebration N .; last "Monday was a success In every , rj , detail and all the people of the camp are highly pleased with the entertain-ment of the day and the good results accomplished. It is a fact that the t Greeks are becoming more and more Interested In the war and the war , work and this demonstration Monlay was the most impressive feature of the kind ever seen In (Bingham. t When It was decided to stage the pageant the promoters who were backed by the Greek society decided to spare no expense in making the event a success. They wanted a mili-tary display and therefore they want-ed some soldiers and a military band. To arrange this part of the rgrara Judge Green made a trip to Salt (Lake and conferred with the military au-thorities and also Mayor Kelly made trip when It was agreed that 125 men in uniform the Twentieth In-fantry and the Twentieth .Infantry band, should spend the day in the big copper camp. The military was in charge of the W following officers: Capt. B. M.' Wright - FirBt Lieut. Roy IL. Schuyler First ' Lieut. Albert I). Johnson, Second Liput Raymond E. Vermetto, Second Lieut. A. C.

CAR LOAD OF HEY -- ilI BM API Deputy Sheriff, While Searching for Automobile That KUled a ' Salt Lake Woman, Stumbles on to Nearly $5000 Worth of Liquor Hid in Jack Creighton's Car The Auto Was Stored in the Bingham Garage, and It Is Believed that Officers Will Find the Notorious Bootlegger Who Has Been Bringing -- Large Quantities of Liquor to Bingham Deputy Sheriff V. B. Jones Makes the Discovery. Last Tuesday noon the chief deputy sheriff of Bingham Canyon received a message from the sheriffs office In ' Salt Lake to apprehend any automo-bile driver who possessed a car, the right fonder of wLich was bent Thia . order was an effort on the part of the Salt Lake County authorities to cap-ture the driver who ruthlessly ran over and killed a lady on South State street Monduy night, as the car which figured in the accident suffered a bent right fender from the collision. Chief Deputy Oscar Fullmer and hU .o:ca Immediately benran a bearcii ot the camp for a car with a bent right fender. The search eventually brought the bunch of deputies to A, L, Inglen-by'- s garage. No right fenders were bent, but Deputy V. B. Jones, who assisted. In the search, accidentally dis-covered that one car was ioadud down with whisky. The back seat of th car had been deliberately snwrd r . so as to leave room for moie booze, and there was enough of the fluid of inebriation to make .a company of "Sammies" dream of the surrender of 'Berlin enough to make a Jackrabbit ' fight a coyote, or enough to make the entire Bingham police force and the Salt Lake county sheriff's force start on another hunt for ityjr . Upon Inquiry the car was found to be the property of IMr. John E. Creigh-to- n. The deputies Immediately in. lormed Mr. Crelghton of the circum-stance. Now, Utah is a dry state and 'Bingham la a law abiding community . and so the oflicers were obliged to confiscate the contents of ' i.Mr. Crelgh- - ton's car, (Mr. Crelghton obligingly vol-unteering to drive the car up to sl.t-r-irr- s headquarters, where the "licker" could be unloaded. Mr. Crelghton expresses great In-dignation over the illegitimate appro-- ' priation of his car for such purposes, and. In with the sheriff's force, is exerting every effort to ap- prehend the "Huns" who ruthlessly sawed out this back scat "for medi- cal purposes". The goods taken consisted of some 19 cases of a fine old brew and was worth about $5000. With reference to the quality of the booze, we are no expert on-tha- t kind of testimony, but can truthfully say that It "smelt" very BIG REGISTRATION IN BINGHAM, , The registration which was conducted here this week by Prof. L.

A Hoover Urges Greater Conservation Of Meet People Are Urged to Cut Their Hfcguiar Ration of Meat from Three and One-ha- lf Pounds a Week to Two Pounds Eat Less V Wheat Is the Urgent Request of U. S. Food Administrator. The confidence of the United States Food Administratis that the people of the country would respond enthusiastically and whole-heartedl- y, upon presentation of the facts, to any necessary requests for reduction in consumption of food, has been fully jus- tified. We have demonstrated our ability not only to think together but to act together. This response of the people is the' reason for the present appeal. Our work js not yet complete. In spite of the encouraging results of our efforts, in spite of the fact that our exports of food-stuffs are constantly increasing and are approaching the mini-mum requirements abroad, the need for renewed devotion and effort is pressiry. While all the requirements of the food admin-istration sh0ui4.be constantly observed, there are certain matters which I desire to stress at this time. In the case of meat and meat products the necessities for shipment abroad are very great. Whereas the allied consump- tion has been reduced to an average of about one and a quarts-pound-s per person per week, we are today enjoying an average of about three and a quarter pounds per person per week. This division is inequitable. An understanding of these facts will our request that the consumption of all meats, including poul-t- rj as nearly as possible be reduced to two pounds per week per person over four years of age. In the case of sugar, we are embarrassed by the necessity of using ships for carrying our soldiers and feeding the allies, and in consequence we must use sugar with great economy. We must emphasize the importance of canning and preserving on a large scale among our people this summer and our available sugar must be conserved for this purpose. But the situation with regard to wheat is the most serious n the food supply of the allied world. If you are to satisfy the minimum wheat requirements of our armies anj the allies, t.-- J siiffenng millions in the allied countries, our consumption of wheat the United States until the next harvest must he redu. ed .0 approximately one-thir- d of normal. It is inconceivable that we should fail in this crisis. For each of us who can personally con-nbu- te to the relief of human suffering it is a privilege, not a sac-- Leleinenta 0 ur population cannot bear this burde 1 . qually. Those engaged in physical labor need a larger bread . ation than those m sedentarv T?ny.o i stant daily employment of women and the: lack of home bj.kinjr facilities many households in large urban centers require a food ation already prepared, such as the baker's standard Victory bread loaf. Furthermore, we must constantly safeguard the BDe-oi- al requirements of .children and invalids . To meet the situation abroad and to prevent serious suffering at home it is imperative that all those whose circumstances per- mit, shall abstain from wheat and wheat products in any form until the next harvest. It is realized and deeply tTfollohTphT Sme C0mmunitie8 have ZeadrSS It is hoped that you will communicate this and your community, urging those whose cireStencS wfp permit, to join with us and take this stand ' ECLIPSES BLIND PEOPLE x 4 Many persons have Injured and thousands have lost their sight by looking too long and Intensely at eclipses of the sun.

It wai writ-ten to his sister, ldellu: Somewhere in France, April 20, 19d8. Dear Sister: I would lilfe to be home for a few minutes or nuurhe an 4our.ir an tuaf'f to see how everything Is and what you are all doing. And to tell you a few of the exciting times I have had while I was up to the trenches. It sure gives a fellow a funny feeling when one of those big eight or ten inch shells of the Boches, that sounds like a fast freight, sails over your head. And vhen it hits it sounds like the Utah Copper hill blasting at sup-per time. When I was up it was con-sidered quite a sector. . But a'ons about daylight and about drrk every day business begins to pick up. It puts me in mind- - of the Utah copper hill, but I can't say that I felt at h.-u- The first day up i believe I was as nervous bs anybody, but after the first Jay I took it as though I had bepn used to it all my life. Got so I could go to sleep when the Hun hells were singing love songs. Or at least that's what the fellows claim when one or a dozen comes singing over the top. You might laugh if I told you that we played poker with our gas masks on one night when the Boches tried to gas us. 1 am not trying to claim bravery for any of us, although some of them deserve it. But I do claim that there Isn't another class of peo-ple In the world that can beat the "Yanks" at making themselves feel at home, no matter what the circum- stances are. And the excitement only gives them something to talk about. Well I think that is enough war for this letter, so lets talk about the coun-try and its beauty. It might interest you more. France is sure a beautiful place and I want to see more of it be-fore I come back nome. I took a walk out into the country the other day, and everything was so beautiful and interesting that I have got to tell you about it. It is spring here now and everything is a fru and green as can be. The fruit trees are all in 'blossom and the wild and tame flowers cover the hills and val-leys, and the air itself smells like a flower bed. People were In the fields working anc the funny pa-- t t It is that thev were mostly women. Women do all the work here that they have to, be- cause every man that is able is a so d er. It Is queer to see a woman driving a team of bulls before a plow But they can handle them as good as a man. and they do work every bit as hard. 'Everything was so quiet and peace- ful out In the country that a fellow could forget that there was a war But you soon remember it whpn you get back to the town. There almost everything is blowed all to hell by the damnable Huns. It is. a shame how they have destroyed. I have teen in several towns they have shell- ed until there was nothing left but Pil'B of brick and rubbish. Things that should make any true American wonder what might hove happened If America hadn't of woke up. And there is one thing that I can say, that I am mighty rind that I am over here. I didn't realize what this war was until I got over herp And r am afraid that Is the trouble with mwt of us back In the states. We didnt take this war seriously en-ough, tilut you ran bet your life that we are in It now, and the Germans know it. WW I this big battle that Is now rngitifr on the 'British front in to chuncc: things nn.1 mavbP em th" war. Let's hope so anywav.

The score stood 3 to H until the seventh In-ning, when Tooele annexed four runs. r.nd in the eighth Bingham rallied and drove In four runs it sure looked like they were the winners Tor a few min-utes, but uooele tightened up and didn't allow Bingham any more runs. Manager DeiLaney still thinks Bing- ham has the best team and with a lit-tle more practice and harmony stand a good chance of winning the state championship. These first two teams that were brought In here was a test for the home team as they are ron-!dere- d the bet in the state, but what the boys on the Ingham team are aiming to do Is to show the fans In iBinghnm a brand of baseball that every one who sees the games will go away satisfied that they saw a good game of ball and lncendentally It costs the boys quite a lot of money to bring this kind of players here to play. The boys are giving a dance in the near future to raise funds to continue ihe game, and would like to have the fans turn out strong to help them Boost the game for Ulngham. The regiment- als from Salt Lake will play here next Sunday, and If Bingham wins the game they will play off the next game at Bonneville Park when the Bees go away. So come and help the bnvr win. June 13 the Miners from Bing- ham will Journey to Park City to meet the Hard Rock Miners there on Miners' Union day celebration there snd the Copper Mineis are sure going to bring home the bacon.

While away IMr. Melich visited Chi-cago. Philadelphia, Washington and other cities. He said there was a striking differ-ence now between the East and West. Everything there is war. The people talk war and most of them were wear-ing uniforms. The Germans In that section, he said, were looked after closely, and it was hardly permissible to mention the name of the kaiser In conversation.

A local business man. who Is Inter-ested in the public welfare of the community, In speaking of the matter a few days ago, said that the county commissioners were the business man-ag- ( rs of the county and that naturally their duties were of the highest im-portant business center like Bingham should be represented. He said that he hoped both political parties would name a candidate frmn this section and that such a course would Insure Hilngham of representa- tion. If one of the parties name a good man from this section that action will necessarily force the other to edopt a like method. He said that most of the county offices did not effect Ulngham greatly, but by reason of the exten-sive business Interests here, it was of the highest importance that a man from ttils community, who is familiar with local conditions and local nerds should belong to the county board. In ihe pant Kfngham has not asked much of the county and has received iHs, and it. is felt hero that there will Ik no scriousi oo. rtlon on thr part of the county at laryo for odp of tin- - busi- ness niiiiiagors to be nunicd from thi ;tii!).
