The people of the Bingham district will miss her cheery face and kindly disposition. Mrs. James McLaughlin of Boise, Idaho, will remain in camp for an In-definite period as the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Atkin-son. An excellent dance was given at the Ohio club rooms on New Year's eve, under the auspices of the club. A large number attended and an enjoyable time spent. Marriott's orchestra of Bingham furnished capable music . In spite of a number of applicants for the position, it is understood Bill Kuphaldt, of the Ranch, has been ap-pointed deputy sheriff of this camp. We congratulate young Bill on his ap-pointment and. being a clean cut young man should make a proficient' peace officer. The Rev, Lester Fagan o the Bing-ham Community church preached at the little church here on Tuesday evening. The services were well at-tended. Mr. and Mrs. W. Page and family of Riverton were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. JSdward Penpraze the past week.

His many friends wish him every success. Mrs. Jennie Heidepreim and Miss Blair of Coppertield spent New Year's eve and day with Mr. and Mrs. John Steel. Both ladies are connected with the teaching staff of the public schools and are popular. We are indebted through the gener-osity of the affable manager of the Bingham Mercantile Co., Mr. C. E. Adderley, for a copy or the 1921 cal-endar sent out by his firm. It is serviceable, neat and handy. Tom Atkinson returned from Salt Lake City on Monday after a pro-longed Christmas vacation. The Misses Larson, Hanson and Piercey attended the Teachera' Edu-cational convention at the tabernacle the past week. Did It Ever Occur to You That the operator coined several new words in the last week's edition? Did it ever occur to the Lark corre-spondent that "bum" copy and the proofreader are responsible for nine-tenth- s of the errors that get in ttjje paper? . That Mac might have been the cause of putting on- - the tight lid in Bingham? That Senator Standish should now be in a position to introduce a bill for the betterment of all the bachelor bunch, himself included. . That the initiated four spent their Christmas happily and without any re-grets. That if you broke your neck yes-terday there is no excuse for one try-- I ing the same proposition tomorrow. . That a low growl is the usual re-sponse when one speaks of a brighter year coming? That joy will come when capital and labor can get together without muti-lating each other? That we would like to know whether the man who says skirts are to be longer is an optimist or a pessimist? That Mao slings the ink some-times without even a thought of the past or the future? That the family physician with kindly consideration, ay now place the vaccination marks on the girls, where they are obscure? That one reason for the belief that the world is growing no better fast, is. that more people get caught than for-merly. That we would like to know of any state in the Union who has its rights left? That Governor Edwards of New Jersey has had a bottle of whiskey i placed in the cornerstone of bis nv bank building. Maybe he thinks it will be safe from the prohibition officers there. I That no woman can be censured for wanting her husband at home before I midnight. , She did not marry him to become a' night watch. That if we could see ourselves as others see us we would need a sense saving of humor. That Januaary 1 last, according to statistics, 69 million gallons of whis-key were in storage, the latest re-ports specify 29 million gallons. There must have been a lot of sick people requiring medicine, as the permits for withdrawal were so worded to get away with 40 million gallons. TOO MUCH ALIKE ) . Why Some Married Couples Are Not Over-Happ- y. Chances for Domestic Felicity Great at When There Is a Marked Die. similarity In Character. Two young people whom I knew ery well recently married, remarks a writer in London Answers. They bad each taken a distinctive degree at a university, and, to all outward appearances, were admirably, suited te each other. Some time after, when I went to Tlslt them In their new home, I failed to see the suitability. ' I do not know for certain that they bored each other I hope not, sine they are joined up but, oh, how they bored me I The atmosphere was laden with knowledge; the eatables on the table seemed spread on a geometrical plan. Nay, the very jam looked scholastic. They meant to be very charming, I ' do not doubt, and their conversation was edifying, but there was an ab-sence of Jokes poor or otherwise and lightness or gayety was nil. When I got outside I longed to see the wind lift the hat off the head of a tout man and watch him chase it In tain, or something to me equally funny and undignified, so that I could laugh away the oppression caused by toy visit. There was a bit too much llke" in that wedding, I thought She was a real sweet girl, but I felt as if she ought to have married some good fellow with more love than knowledge In his composition, who would have greeted her with a good bug that would have disturbed her smoothly brushed hair, Instead of the cold "peck" she received. He ought to have hod a woman who would fearlessly have poked fun at him, as well as having spirit enough to tell him of his selfishness in taking the' most comfortable chair in the room and appropriating the whole of the Are. True, there might have been an occasional flash in the pan, but at least it would have been living and not collegiate stagnation. In the dayjs when I used to think I knew something I remember being surprised at the choice of a wife made by a professional friend of mine. It seemed to me as though he, with all his attainments had simply thrown himself away on a demure, domestic mouse. "What a companion for him," I said to myself. "Why, she doesn't seem to have two Intellectual ideas In her bead I" That marriage proved a perfect suo--v . fess, and I learned why, for I visited them frequently. ' She Just adored her clever husband. V and he, coming home in the evening, often fagged in body and brain, was s glad to find thoughtful consideration S1" and Tearfulness. Later, when the children came, he said, too, that they were brought up and cared for as only a true mother knows how to do it. " ' Once I mentioned something like .' the subject of this article to him. His words in reply are, I think, worth repeating." . "If I had married a brilliant or a Tery intellectual woman I fear my club would have had- more of my company. As it Is, I turn my steps most willingly each evening toward my haven of rest. Ton see, after a day in the business arena, a man wants a chance, not a new battle to lny down his tools, so to speak." I once asked a lady how she had managed to keep her husband still her sweetheart after so ninny years of mnrrlape. She replied, with a merry laugh, and her eyes shone quizzically: "John Is such a big, good, serious fellow, ' quite my opposite, so I expect it Is Just the 'spice o the devil' In me that hns a charm for him." From my little gleanings and ex-- . J perlences I have been brought to the conclusion thnt the chances of hap-- 4 piness are greater where contrasts of tempernrnent exist than when like marries like. POLAND HOW RIVALS PLIGHT OF BELGIUM Children Chief Sufferers in Land Stripped of Necessities, x Says Relief Worker. Poland Is In the destitute statefor want of food and clothing among the poor that Belgium would have beeu during the war, had there been no com-mission for relief In that country, ac-cording to Dr. Vernon Kellogg, Ameri-can Relief Administration official, who recently returned from Warsaw. Dr. Kellogg was a member of Mr. Hoover's staff In Belgium, and at the conclusion of hostlltles, entered Po-land as the Hoover emissary. In charge of food relief. He first entered Poland in 1015, a few months after the Ger-man occupation. His report of starvat-ion, disease and suffering that exist-ed at that time Is on of the most harrowing documents In the records of American relief work overseas. Dr. Kellogg mad the following statement regarding th work after U armistice: "With Warsaw as our headquarters, we began operations In Poland In Jan-uary, 1919, and within few weeks there was established a steady Impor-tation of food into that country. Tons and tons of It came from overseas through the Port of Danzig. "It was Impossible to do all that the administration wanted to de, be-cause the need of Poland was too great, but it was agreed that enough food should be sent to Poland to car for7 the four million people until tbe great agricultural districts could again pro-vide for them. "But in addition to these four mil-lion people who so presslngly needed relief, there was another call for relief from a source that could not be re-sisted : the children of the land. Many of these were orphans, hungry, ema-ciated, destitute and diseased. So the American Relief Administration added to Its work by Instituting a system of feeding these children. In a few months a million and a quarter Polish children were getting a free meal ev-ery day of special food prepared to counteract the effect of their previous undernourishment." . To flnsh th job eight great organ-izations have united under th nam of tbe European Relief Council to raise the funds necessary t care for the food needs snd the medical needs of the 3,500,000 children of Eastern snd Central Europe. These organizations are the American Relief Administra-tion, the American Red Cross, th American Friends 8ervlc Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribu-tion Committee, th Federal Council of the Churches of Christ In America, the Knights of Columbus, tbe I. ML G. A, and th T. W. 0. A " H I n ! " r ' I I i:t i ni TRY THE I Press - Bulletin 1 - I I Job Deparment t 1 S ' 1 ; . I i j R. I. Ferrell, Manager . ' i ; a GRAY SAMARITANS RESCUING CHILDREN Th Toung Women's Christian Asso-ciations of the United States are keenly Interested in the movement for the f of the 8,500,000 starving children of Europe because a group of. their members, the Polish Gray Samaritans, have been In charge of distributing fod to children In Poland. They have been serving under the American Relief ad-ministration and have conducted food kitchens and distributing stations In all parts of Poland outside Warsaw. in all the relief work being done In Europe, that of the Polish Grays has been unique because ail the girls, though sent from America, were either born in Poland or are of Polish paren-tage. When the need for social serv-ice in their country became acute many girls of Polish descent answered til call of the Young Women's Chris-tian Association for overseas service and enlisted In th preliminary train-ing course that was given In severnl cities of the United States. From this group thirty girls were chosen and sent to Poland where, sine 1918, they have been caring for the children of the country. The distribution of clothing has taken them into all parts of Poland. 'They ar now spending their entire time In arranging for the feeding of children this winter. Groups of them travel to strategic centers In outlying districts where they set up distributing stations, receive supplies, prepare meals, arrange for Impartial distribu-tion and train helpers to continue the work when they are tent on to the next town. This Fish Makes Nest The common stinflsh is an abundant form in most lakes and rivers from the Great Lakes to southern Georgia, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. Doctor KIrkliind has '"f" given us some very interesting points ' t : on the breeding habits of this species " which he very truly says "prefers still . and clear wuters." In the spring of the year the female prepares herself ' a circular nest by removing all reeds f or other dead aquatic plants from a chosen spot of a foot or more In dl- - V ameter, so as to leave bare the clean V ,. gravel or snnd; this she excavates to . the depth of three or four inches and then deposits her spawn, which she watches with the greatest vigilance; and it Is curious to see how carefully J she guards this nest agfilnst all in- - truders. In every fish, even those of ' ber own species, she sees only an ene my, and is restless and uneasy until the has driven it away from her nurs-- COLUMBUS KNIGHTS AID CHILD APPEAL James A. Flaherty, of Philadelphia, supreme knight of the Knights of Co-lumbus, declared that tbe K. of C, in response to an appeal from' Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Re-lief Council, bad decided to take an exception In their policy of refraining from any national campaign for funds for relief or charitable work. "The need of the starving snd sick children of I u rope It s urgent," Mr. Flaherty said, "that the Knights of "Co-lumbus feel In duty bound to devote themselves to thr common task of rais-ing funds for the relief of these chil-dren. An an organization It Is our Intention to coi duct no distinct K. A C. drive for funds, although members of the organisation are frequent con-tributors to all charitable drives. But In this case w. feel that the emergency calls for the united efforts of all Amer-icans and we consider It a prMlege to have partnership li this great work of mercy." Listen to Friend's Admentlin. It It a strange thing to bhoid what gross errors and extreme ahoarditle many, especially of the greater sort, do commit for want of a friend to tell them of the great damage hoth U their fame and fortune.
