The Bingham boys have hit their stride and it appears now that nothing can keep them from climbing at least to second place In the division while there id still a chance that they will finish on top of t!ie heap. There Is still a game left "ith Grantsville on the farmer j' floor which is a big obstacle in it- - self. In the game Friday with Cyprus the Bingham team came out on top by the narrow margin of one lone tal- - ly. This winning basket was sent through the hoop with rarely 10 sec-onds left to play and with the Magna boys leading by one tally. This game was the most spectacu-lar game pver witnessed In the Cy-prus Hall and the Magna boys cer-tainly suffered no dishonor in their one point defeat. Sonne and Grant, two opposing forwards, played the lead in the scor-ing game and the8e two classy play- - ers made baskets from all angles. Ole Hervilla was held to one basket by the superb guarding of Jacobs, Cyprus Guard. The game tomorrow night which will be played on the Bingham floor, oliould furnish some real thrtlia. Mud-ra- y won t!:e first contest of the year from ihe Bingram boys and the Blue and White will be out tonight to turn tlie tables and sent the Smeller boys bad; to Murray beaten.

To My Valentine f "SlLI WtLUmi, The oC le fant Fair Play Every citizen of Bingham Canyon who can possibly do eo should attend school board meeting to be held at Sandy, Thursday, Feb. 23,and protest 1 what seems to be the object of the Jordan School Board to put over a building program which absolutely ' Ignores Bingham and the entire West end of the district. The Board has recently built new-Hig- School buildings at Mldvale and Sandy at a cost of approximately $200,000 each. Thene buildings wvre needed undoubtedly. Now it is pro-posed to erect Junior High school buildings ut Draper at a cose of $60,-0- 00 and at Union at a cost of $75,000 If these expenditures are made le will exhaust all available funds of the District this year and the crowded and congested condition here at tb: ; .i v ... mid will continue to become worse. Conceding the need of a Ju-nl- or High school at Draper we main- - tain that a much more grave need lor enlargement of the school rooms and other facilities exists here than do at Union. Sandy and Midvale are in reasonably close proximity to Union and we maintain these schools could easily absorb this district ii one additional school bus was tiro- - vlded for the conveyance of the chil-dren. We call attention to the fact Cat school ar comodations at the Rch.j-1- " In ni iKham are indeed mea-gre. Tlie Ltiiiiiini; program for this end of the District has usually been l ; . n i.) i t ' quick at all turns. When i!.,? t!!nghaiu High ,cvool building erett.d the o. Igfna plans were abandoned and every pos-sible curtailment was made, thj li-brary room was eliminated, the rest room was taken out of the plan. If a pupil should be taken sick there is no place to take them. The provision for Dome tic Art and Auto Mechan-ic was la'.uu out 'of thj plan. Only one third of the boys and girls who desire to take these courses can be supplied with room to work In theso lines. At Highland Boy we find the ti'l worse. T". e room once provided as a play place for the chil-dren has been converted Into a dor-mitory for teachers as there is no tliU vicinity where they can find quarters. This build-ing is so poorly arranged for Hgvt it Is nece.sary to burn electric lights all day. The children have no plucn to play except In a street about 16 feet wide on which there is much traffic. The worst need for additi-onal school room in the District i3 here, a dormitory at Highland Boy with modern facilities would give the playroom back to the children and make living .conditions bearable for the teachers, a substantial addition should be made to the Bingham High School to take care of the boys and girls who wish to learn Mechanical trades and Domestic Arts. Bingham Is the largest populated centre In the Jordan District and her children should be considered exactly as any other of the district. WE WANT FAIR PLAY. Common Sense. Common sense is a precious How many of us can b;. ;.; t!.i:i quality? No iloulrt many o u. (u boast of having a goodly ahare of common sense, yet how. many of us a:o superstitious? Do you have a queer fueling when thirteen guests are In your home? Have you evei hesitated doing some task on Friday the thirteenth Well then rend His. following and" see how foolLh this is: There were thirteen colonies with a Hag of thirteen stars and st, ipns. The eagle, an American emblem, re quires thirteen letters to spell It "American Eagle." So does the moi.-t- o "E Pluribus Unum." Tliere were thirteen ships In the flrat American navy and It takes thirteen letters to spell John Paul Jones. Perry's vic-tory on Lake Erie was won on the thirteenth day of the month. The Stars and Stripes were raised ckc. Fort Sumpter on the trirteentli of the month. The thirteenth amend nient freed the slaves. Now con Iter fur common silver quarter thore are thirteen stars around the. head of Liberty there are thirteen leaves on the olive branch born by the eagle. In the shield on the eagle's breast are thirteen bars and in the ribbon In his beak is a motto with thirteen letters; each of hij wings has and it takts thirteen letters to spell quarter dollar. No, things do not just happen of themselves. Theiie Is a cause back of everything that happens. We 11 vf in a world of cause and effect. So the People May Kno vv Last week the good people of Bingham were victimized by an unscru-pulous dealer who came to this town with 1:) caivases of mm Ion which lu- - i been condemned by the Salt Lake market becau e it was Infected and un-wholesome and unfit for human coiii.umpJ'm. Thir, peddler went up and covwi tie streets, from house to house, selling this mutton o our 'unsuspect-ing citizens, at a fraction le,g than the market priea. l!y ts al by suspicion v.:s aroused and when the facts weie known the vendor of this carnage was ,u rested, hailed before the court and on conviction paid a fine of $10. We are informed on what we tonsid' r authentic information that, this same peddler proceeded up the canyon t Highland Hoy and Copperfieid and sold the remainder of this, meat to lo.idients of these districts. - Some of our readers will recall having purchased quantities of this moat and in two instance ; (perhaps many more of which we do not know- - mem-bers of families were made sick by eating this mutton. In this day of ours when we ! ave so much technical knowledge of sanitation and of general life, with experts to inspect food in city, county and state, it is surprising how uch persons can get by with such ease as this particular vendor did. BINGHAM CANYON IS DUMPING PLACE. When we begin to analyze the Htuatirn wo fin ! - r v.vr vr.l i.a;n for this condition here. We find that in Sail Lake City, no foods can be soid flit'" out being thoroughly inspected. All meat sold there must bear the .tarnp of the Government In peetnr. No delivering of exposed packares of loose meat may be mad.) from peddler wagons there and the authorities keep u vigilant eye on those cuapected of trying to dispose of meat in this man-ner. It. appears that the;e persons, failing to be able to dispose of their in-terior stocks therei try some of the surrounding towns wheie Inspectors are aot so plentiful and where the ordinances are not so strict. Bingham, .being a mining camp where the pepole usually have money to buy, and also being n close proximity to Salt Lake, becomes a dumping place not only for un-clean meats but for frozen onions, wormy fruits and blighted vegetables. Do you want to take a chance with your health and that of your child-ren and we these questionable articles? Can you afford to run the risk of planting the germ of Tuberculosis or other diseases carried by unhealthy animals, in the bodies of yournlws or (he members of your family? Ii you uo you may say that ij our own business, which It i.s not, but wp believe i ii our duty to the community and to you to give you all available informa-tion on these things and this we will attempt to do from time to time. In that connection we wish to remind you that your local dealers can't do these things. They would not dare to even if they could. Most of these hops here are equipped with modern refrigerators at a cost of from three to five thousand dollars each. These refrigerators are filled with clean whole-some meats bearing the stamp of competent Inspectors, the cooling system extending out into the showcase to keep the small cuts cool and fresh to the moment it is delivered to you, all in an effort to give you worthwhile ser-vice. Not only this but the floors, the block and the counters are clean, the scale top i3 transparent and clean and the scales are subject to government Inspection as to correctness every minute of the day. Your fruit and vege-tables are weighed to you (not guessed at by the size of a tin bucket or other supposed measure) and the pounds are there. Think all these things over thoroughly and whatever conclusion you may come to will be fine with us, we have given you the facts. KIWANIS REVERE LINCOLN.

Dance to Norm Terry's music at the Bingham Ball Room Saturday night. Firemen's Dance The Bingham Fire Department will give a grand ball at Canyon Hall, Washington's birthday- - The fact that the next Firemen's State Tournament will be held here makes it imperative that funds be secured for the proper entertainment of the visitors. It is expected that every one having at heart the inter-est of this organization will be liberal in the purchase of tickets. No organized body of men in this community give them-selves so unreservedly to the public good as do these men. Remember this when you receive an appeal for finanicial assistance-- , Bingham organizations have the reputation of being royal entertainers. Let the coming State Tournament be no exception.
