Show NOVEMBER. 1925 NO. 48 VOLUME FIFTY-FOU- R BINGHAM CANYON. UTAH, CLEVER THEMES SHDWPROGRESS Student! of Sophomore CUm at High School Submit Papers Dealing with Descriptive Paragraph. (Editor's Note Perhaps in our ss in letting our read-ers know what is going on at the high school, and what is bring done in the education of our young, we may at times be giving too many themes to our readers to digest, and yet we feel that such themes as the follow-ing are worthy of special mention, not only from a standpoint of English, but because they are not prepared subjects, merely given out at tin-star- t of the class and turned in at the close. The first two themes deal with descriptive paragraphs to appeal to the senses of sight, hearing, voice, smell and taste, while the third comes under the head of singleness of im-pression.) ! Mother's Kitchen' on Baking Day By Mary Masters Mothers kitchen on baking day is filled with delicious odors arising from the stove. Big brown loaves of bread arc being baked in the oven. My sister is making a fruit cake and the air is filled with the fragrance from the fruit that is being put into it. The pie that the cook is making in butterscotch and the smell of sugar and ' boiling milk is mixed with the fragrance of the June morning. - The kitchen is spic and span all but in places where flour has been spilled, the table is littered with the different ingredients such as brown sugar, cream and other things. The cake is being put in the' oven and almond nut are being scattered on the top of it just as it is being put in the oven, again there is the smell of the cake which is just be-ginning to become brown. Now the cake is taken out of the ' oven- - theHfr-- r fmVd" w1rtr"frty odor which comes from the cake. Early Morning in the City By Ole Hervilla This is what you see in the city on an early frosty morning. The air is cold and crisp and the few people that arc abroad in the early morning, are clothed in warm furs and others in heavy clothing. The paper boys are hustling along the streets to keep warm and shout-ing "jjaper,' 'paper." The street car windows are covered with a heavy frost and the people that are in the cars are snug and warm. Smoke is coming from the chimneys and the milk wagons arc clanging along the streets, and the laboring horses arc covered with a thick coating of frost. The drivers are swinging their arms and stamping their feet to keep warm. You can hear the creaking of the wagons and street cars as they pass by. The trees ar striped bare and the grass is frozen brown and everything about seems lifeless. The air is tingling cold and few people are abroad Jliis cold morning. The Sagebrush of Idaho By William Wilson Silence prevailed over the gray des- - ert of sage brush. When the sun rose higher in the heavens the plains of sage brush changed from bluish pur- -' pie to a hazy gray which made the land look desolate. In the midst of the sage brush stood a small lone cabin which looked as though it had not been inhabited for many years. From the cabin to the edge of the sagebrush ran a road, having the ap-pearance of not having been traveled on for a long time. The road looked like a long white line in the tall gray sage. Around the cabin, the brush was short and white, but as the brush further away had not been molested it was much larger. On the roof of the house there were several small bunches of sage, showing that at some time a wanderer had built the cabin as a means of protection from the winds and sun. THE lEUSPAPEd There art always those who feel that a newspaper is f little value in a community, that a newspaper in a small town, particularly, is of little use in the uplift of "community, and yet, after looking at the different angles ont should realize that a news-paper is of vital importance to any community. As an influence approaching, equal-ling or surpassing that of other insti-tutions, the newspaper stands with unlimited possibilities in the field of community development The infor-mative and educational value of a newspaper is of great importance be-cause the newspaper Is so widelysjd so often read. Let lbs examine the standards by which la newspaper is measured: J s. To go into and Remain in the home the newspaperf must be clean, because it must staid for the test of critical eyes and tlje pure in heart. To exert influerUjk it must , be truthful and candid,? because it is weighed by the exactness of witnesses from, tm same or other sources. To maintain its prestige it must be fearless, because it stands as a rep-resentative of the enWe community in semi-offici- al advocacy of the rights of the people. ;,' To succeed in a business way it must have circulation, because bona fide circulation is thfj valuable gauge by which the business man and ad-vertiser allots his pavonage. To gain a wider apjeal it must pro-vide diversion of treatment in its ed-itorial make-u- p, for 9 must pass be-fore the crucial survey of varied tem-peraments. .' " ' To fulfill its destiny it must occas-ionally challenge thej opponents of true progress, for itfis looked to as a spokesman of cornjnunity develop-ment. One backward step and off goes its head. It musi boost and find joy and delight in thjt doing. rJTbese. thipga ao(Listir. axeJthe standards of a newspaper. , That the newspaper is a live, going institution is proof that it is living up to them. Cooperation by an appreciative public will help it to continue as an institu-tion for the general good. FRANK KEENEY CALLED BEYOND Death Claims Respected Citizen After Illness of Short Duration. Was Well Known Here. . Frank Keency, age 38 years, died at his home at the Elmerton, Friday morning of last week after an illness of one week's duration. Funeral ser-vices were held Sunday afternoon at the, L. D. S. meeting house, Bishop Dave Lyons and Rev. Russell Kick-ing officiating. Interment was at Wasatch Lawn cemetery. Salt Lake ' City. His death cast a pall of gloom over the entire community, for in Mr. Keeney, Bingham Canyon lost one ot its most respected citizens. Going t home Friday morning previous to his " '.. death, Mr.. Keeney soon became worse. Pneumonia setting in, and one week from the time he complain-- " ed of being ill, life was taken from one who always greeted with a smile, . ' one who never spoke a cross word to anyone ,and a husband -- and fatlicr who always cared for his loved ones.' Mr. Kccncy was born in Des Moines .. Iowa, July 16, 1887, coming west Montana, when a young boy. In 1908 he came to Bingham Canyon, associating himself with the Bing-ham Merc as head of the Dry Coods department. In September, 1913, he married Lorcne Jenkins, sister of Mrs William Galeazzi, four children be-- ing the fruit of this union, Eleanor, aged 9, Maurinc, who died in Sep-tember, 1923, Donna aged 7, and Ja- - net ,aged 2. . , ? Leaving here in 1916 to engage in business for himself in White Sul-phur Springs, Montana, Mr. Keeney, returned from the Montana City in September of last year to take charge of the gent's furnishing department of ', the Bingham Merc. .y' , --.4MstKsi8y .ift vewvTved" by fcis mother, Mrs. Eliza Keeney, of Molt, Montana, two brothers, Arthur and Clarence of Molt, Montana, and two sisters, Mrs. Jess Lang, of Los An-geles, California, and Mrs. Ernest Mangier, of Molt, Montana. . STELLAR PHI! AT GEMMELL CLUB Arrangements Completed for Finish Wrestling: Bout Between Dern and Hackenschmidt Much Interest la Shown. '' Probably one of.the greatest wrest-- - ling matches ever presented to the members of the Cemmell Club is the bout scheduled for Friday evening of next week, when Ira Dern and Joe Hackenschmidt will meet in a finish " clash, best two out of three falls. ., ' Ever since these two gladiators met on the mat here, there has been a ' difference of opinion as to the better man, although Dern has a slight ad-vantage as far as falls are concerned. The first time these two men met, Dern won after SS minutes of gruel-ling work, and only succeeded in . forcing "Hack" to give up when he . ripped his trunks. The fall was le gitimate, but it did not satisfy the fans, many of whom claim Hacken-schmidt to be the better of the two. Be that as it may, the announce-ment that these two men will settle their little argument on Friday next met with instant approval, and that t the largest crowd of the year will be in attendance goes without saying. The last time these two men met, each had a fall, Dern using 45 min-- , utes to do his "stuff," while Hacken-schmidt came back and pinned Dern's shoulders to the mat in 12 minutes. ' . It was the consensus of opinion at the time that the bout was the best ever seen in Bingham Canyon. Hackenschmidt, who will soon leave for the Pacific Coast told the writer that he has but one ambition ,and that is to beat Dern. Dern on the other hand has but little in common with the "Russian Lion," and has also de-clared his one ambition is to make "Hack" quit, so when these two meet on the mat next Friday evening, fur " should lyn g 'Vom 4at sou d ot the gong. Art Macke, who has charge of the entertainment for the evening declar-ed that as far as he was concerned, the men could wrestle all night, but was in hopes that when it was over one or the other would admit defeat. So now you have the whole thing in a nut shell, and the leading question is: Who is the best man: Dern or Hackenschmidt?

LOCAL STORES READIFOR IAS Opening of Toy Departments in Many Stores Show Spirit of Com- - ing Holiday Season Buy at Home. With but one month left in which to do Christmas shopping the many stores of Bingham Canyon have op-ened up their toy departments, and with the presentation of horns, games and divers article, the town takes on the atmosphere of a veritable Santa Land. With most of the leading mercan-tile establishments carrying a com-plete line of toys, and holiday mer-chandise, it behooves the people of this community to buy their Christ-mas presents in Bingham Canyon. To the writer comes the memory of last year's holiday season, when a certain member of our colony declared he had paid $1.23 for a certain commod-ity in Salt Lake City. The writer had also purchased the same article in Bingham Canyon, and had paid one dollar. Thus, besides the time, the fare, and other unnecessary expen-ditures, twenty-fiv- e cents was saved by BUYING AT HOME. Everything a person wants to make the holiday season a joy ' for others may be purchased in Bingham Can-yon this year. The merchants have prepared for a great holiday business, and with this in view have replen-ished their shelves with the latest and most up to date merchandise. The same merchants who donate year in and year out for local char-ities, who are ever willing to do their bit toward, the uplift of this commun-ity are the ones who, at this time are ready to serve and assist you in your Christmas buying. , , The Bingham Merc, R. Jay Mitch-ell, J. C, Penney Company, Schramm-Johnso- n Drug Company and Bogan Hardware are the five merchants in Lower Binghatu Canyon who have purchased wonderfuLtoj'ks of, toys for the holiday season. All are more than willing to show you of their large variety, and with a deposit will hold any article until Christmas. In Highland Boy, the Highland Boy Merc has added a large stock of toy; for the residents of that district, while the Miners Merc, the Panhel-lcni- c and the Independent Grocery will care for the people of Copper-field- . These merchants are atl residents of Bingham Canyon, their money is invested here, and they are entitled to your patronage. : Each year, at this time, many cars are seen going to and coming from Salt Lake City, with the sole purpose of purchasing , Xmas articles in the Utah metropolis: This is all wrong, and it is to be hoped that this ycai will find the people of this commun-ity buying their holiday gifts in the town that gives them their bread and butter. The merchants of the district invite one and all to visit their stores, and all are more than willing to be of any service they possibly might be in helping you choose your gifts. DRAMATIC CLUB READY FOR "PAIR OF SIXES" Work on the farce, "A Pair of Sixes," the play which will be pre-sented for four nights next week be-- ginning Monday by the L. D. S. Dra-matic Club at the meeting house should prove to be one of the most' sensational successes of the year ac-cording to those who have witnessed the rehearsals. - With every member of the large cast letter perfect, director Clyde Brady is highly optimistic over the outcome of the new play Many tick-ets have already been sold for the performances and the present outlook shows crowded houses at every per-formance. It was announced that' several engagements have been aci cepted by the company to give the show in the valley although it will not be repeated anywhere else in Bingham, it is said. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, and if you want to laugh and spend a most enjoyable evening be" sure, and be at the L. D. S. meeting house on one of these nights. The show will start at 8:15 sharp, it was announced. UKULELE ORCHESTRA FORMED AT SCHOOL "Bobbie's Harem" is the name of the new Ukulele orchestra which was formed at the high school Tuesday afternoon of this week, with Bobbie Colyar as manager, The purpose of the new orchestra, it is said, is to stimulate music at the institution of learning, and it is the aim of the new-ly formed aggregation to give noon day dances in the gym Wednesday of each week, although these plans are only tentative. Under the guidance of Bobbie, who will preside at the piano, the following girls are practic-ing faithfully on their "ukes": June O'Neal, Margaret Adams, Norma Ol-son, Bessie and Bertha Kapelle, Mel-b- a Turner, Claribel Mace and Virginia ' " Colyar. " ELKS BAZAAR IS SUCCESS The Charity Bazaar of the Stray Antlers, local contingent of the Elks, which operated at the Stage Line of-fice Monday, Tuesday and Wedncs- - day of this week proved to be a suc-cess it was announced by the com-mittee in charge, although as one member remarked, "it could have better." Nevertheless the ' large crowds that attended had plenty of fun, trying to win the many com-modities offered, and everyone seem-ed to enjoy themselves ,and what more could be asked. While on the subject of Elks it might be well to state that the "Elks Club of New York has accepted with-out contest a prohibition padlock, un-der the charge that beer sold in its grill room had more than a legal kick. In a big institution like the New York Lodge of Elks, which is the mother lodge, it is not impossible that infractions of the law might creep in, though not sanctioned by the trus-tees of the organization. The fact, however, that the lodge consented to the closing of its bar without oppo-sition when the matter was brought to-it- s attention, is rather an act of co-operation in law enforcement, and speaks well for Elks' parodic slogan "Best People On Earth." NEW MOVIE FOR HIGHLAND ROY Princess Theatre to Have New Home With Seating Capacity of 350 Many New Features Promised. The Princess Theatre of Highland Boy will soon have a new home, ac-cording to an announcement made during the week. The new building, when completed, will care for 350 persons. Located directly across the street from the Highland Boy Merc, the new structure will cover a space of 50x70, which is practically the same length as the Gem Theatre in Lower Bingham Canyon, and about 20 feet wider. Although no definite word has been released as to the furnishings it is understood that the theatre will be one of the most modern in the state, no stone being left unturned for the comfort of the patrons. Brisk and Chesler, who operate the Princess Theatre at the present time, will be in charge of the new theatre, and it is said that every modern con-venience will be installed. A ladies dressing room, and ample lobby room will be two of the feat-ures promised by the new theatre. Pictures of the better sort will be given to the people of this district, it was announced. The present quarters of the Prin-cess theatre of Highland Boy are a trifle small it is said, and with the new theatre seating 350 people, there should be ample room for everyone caring to take in the shows. Everything will be new throughout and the management promises the movie lovers of Highland Boy a well ventilated, steam heated theatre, something all the folks of that vicin-ity may well be proud.

For the first time in the history of the Postoffice Department, the clerks of the postal service of the United States will be allowed to celebrate Christmas Day this year the same as other folks. Heretofore, the clerks were forced to work a half day, be-cause, in its anxiety to please its pat-rons, the postal service delivered packages on Christmas day, that oth-ers might be happy. From year to year, the government has been asking all members of this great country to do the mailing early until at this time, the patrons of the postoffice have realized the import-ance of this proceedure, and the an-swer is that all clerks, with the as-sistance of the people will be at home on December 25, enjoying the festive day the same as you and I. That packages may arrive at their destination in proper condition and that no delay will be incurred thru improper addressing, the postal ser-vice has suggested that all packages (Continued on Page 7) MURRAY FIREMEN ENTERTAIN LOCALS Probably one of the most enjoyable nt meetings of the year was held at Murray Friday evening of last week when the Murray City Fire department played the part of host to nineteen members of the local bri-gade.
