U BOARD WIS ONE TRAIN A DAY ON B H Bingham and Garfield Railway Will ' Run Only One Train a Day to Camp. This will Probably Be a Combina-tion Train and Merchandise Coming By Freight Will Be Delivered Much Earlier in the Day Than Previously. Passenger Traffic Has Fallen Off Nothing. At the regular meeting of the town: ' board of Bingham which waB held last Wednesday evening with a full mem-bership present the phincipal business discussed was whether the town should consent to the withdrawal of one of the trains on the Bingham and Garfield railroad daily to Bingham. A number of citizens were also present to take part in the discussion and while the board and the citizens were reluctant to grant this concession yet when they listened to the evidence presented they could hardly refuse. The arguments for the railroad were presented by Road Master F. O. Hay-mon- d and Chief Engineer H. C. Good rlsh of the Utah Copper and B. & G. Railroad company. The representatives of the road set out that for some time past the travel on train No. 109, leaving Bingham at 8:55 in the morning for Salt Lake had averaged four and eight-tenth-s pas-- 1 isengers, and train No. Ill, leaving Salt Lake at 2:15 or Bingham, had ...... J averaged seven and nine-tenth- s pas- -. 't - - -'fm sengers.v ' ' .. ' ,' , Under the new arrangement only one round trip a day will be made, the train leaving Salt Lake at 6:50 in arriving at Bingham at 9:10,. and leaving Bingham for Salt LakeUt 3:45. The understanding was that the' freight which has been arriving about noon or later bringing much merchan-dise for the Bingham merchants will be shipped on the passenger train or-i-other words it will be a miedx train. The merchandise for the Bingham merchants will be delivered under this arrangement much earlier in the day which will be a great convenience. Bingham High School News, .WHO ARE AMERICANS? (By Esther Bebb.) When the original inhabitant of this country, the American Indian, was the only possessor of the woods, streams and prairies, this question might have been answered easily. Today the question raises the his-tory of the future world and is vital to all civilization. - Who are Americans? . What makes an American? How, is the American defined?.. fj. .. r, i ' An, American today is a man-.- . or woman wha speak) the CriKeii "States language, or Is trying to learn to speak it .' - An American is one who Is working to make an honest living Instead of working other people to make it for him. An American is one wno is doing his part to add to the daily happiness, security, helpfulness and peace of this country. An American is a person living in daily obedience to the law of the state and having respect and affection for tse flag that waves over it. An American is an inhabitant of the United States who feels in his heart that this country is HIS country. He not only has ma'ie this country his own, but he knows that this country has also made him. He (has at least some knowledge of the historical fact that no land in the world has done more for human freedom and common every day human happiness than Am-erica! An American does not have to be born of Anglo-Saxo- n or English stock ,to be an American. A good American of today may have the blood of any race flowing in his veins, but his heart beats to the rhythm of the song: "Oh Beautiful My Country," meaning by "My Country," America. There is another mark of the true American. It is the mark of the man or woman who sees in America the hope of the world. Here if freedom and justice, good will and brother--1 hood fails, the world fails. The Am-erican who does not have some feel-ing in his heart and wind for the des-tiny of all peoples and all races, does not measure up to the standard of ideal Americanism. If I ever have a reason to be proud that I am an Am-erican it Is when I see the knowledge to do my part to help make my coun-try the hope of mankind and its pur-poses being: Justice, Freedom, Loy-alty, Honesty, Industry, Goodwill, Co-operation and Christian Brotherhood.

At that time Miss Zutavern will present her third play, ."Princess Klku," a Japanese romance. The scene of the play is Japan; that strange land where' all the people are gay from a natural joy of heart. Ypu are taken into the Chrysanthemum Garden of Princess Klku, the faydte niece of yhe. kado. ;Th3. sfiJetdng TTs very elab-orate and neither time nor money have been spared to make this a real success. A feature that can not fall to inter-est all is the use of the small children from the first to the fifth grades. These children along with the Depart-ment of Expression will present twelve songs and introduce some very dainty dancing. , The entire production will be pro-duced at the Princess theatre in as much as the High School Auditorium cannot accommodate the large crowds attending 'Miss Zutavern's produc-tions. There will be no increase in price for this production and you may re-serve your seat for the small addi-tional price of ten cents. FACULTY WEDDING. One of the most interesting events to take place in the High School Fac-ulty this year was the wedding of Mr. L. J. Christenson and Miss Marie Jen-so- n which took place last Friday ev-ening in Salt Lake, Mr. Christenson, in his quiet way has' made many friends in Bingham and the faculty and school as a whole wish to extend its congratulations and best wishes to them both. As soon as they are y located, Bingham peoplie will be very glad to become better ac-quainted with them., THE SEA OF LIFE. (By Alta iMiller.) I. This is the sea of life, In its waves we each sail our ship. Our boat meets its loss or success as it enters each furrow or dip. Our boat must be fittled and made so that no storm of corrow or pain Can dash. our boat back with the waves to the shallows of danger again. II. As we look o'er the tumbled waters - ' that stretch out on every side We make our mascot an unselfish spirit, the love of mankind is our guide. Caution and thought are our engines and will power makes them work on. And trouble and grief of the future is a breeze that's slipped by us and gone. IV. In the distance we see many others in ' boats, floating over the sea. Some are strengthening their masts for the future, others leave their as they be. They prepare not- - for the oncoming fury of disaster and grief and pain. And they sink with a groan in the sea of life, while the ready boat fights on again. IV. Our boat is the Bingham High School. Its sails are clear blue and white. We must prepare for the future fury and get ready for life's big fight Our boat sails on life's great ocean. We, its crew give it strength to go on, So that the blue and white sails of the B. H. S. undaunted when storm clouds are gone. THE COST OF CARELESSNESS. A great deal of trouble and many sad accidents happen through care-- 1 lessness, for instance in the matter of our own health, carelessness in not taking good care of our teeth, and not keeping our bodies clean Is the cause of many diseases, which is all due to carelessness. Then again a great many accidents are caused through carelessness, driv-- . ers of cars and wagons are not care- - ful in driving, and people on the streets are not careful at the cross- - ings. Big fires have been caused from carelessness in trying to start them with gasoline and other dangerous ex-plosives. I , So you , see through carelessness a ' great many - accidents 'happen that could be avoided. I COLEMAN QUINN 24.

The Freshmen this year has not had very good attitude in some of their, classics. This can be avoided I'm sure! Some classes are rather noisy; every one is not as quiet as he or she can .be. If every one would think that the responsibility rested on him, and tried to be an a number one student. The Freshmen would hold the record for good behavior, if only they would pay more attention to their attitude. THOSE WHO FAILED TO LAND POLITICAL JOBS , In politics there is always one un-pleasant thing that accompanies the winning party in the 'personnel of those active, energetic party workers! who receive no reward after their work is all done. Now and then a fat job. is ; landed by a fellow who-- , has never been actively identified in the campaign has never ' been seen where is thick and dang-- , erous. . This gives pain to the whole- - souled party worker who is overlooked when the pie Is passed out, but that is the way o politics. There are those in Bingham who have worked in season and out for their party who have not had a bite from the public, trough and they must necessarily feel a little sore. Still its hard to fix up all the applicants. There are too many. A few days ago It was brought to light by a person who is practically unknown claims full cred-it for Governor Mabey. He stated that it was he and he alone who made it possible for Mabey to get the nomi-nation. He knew it and lie wanted some little token of acknowledgement, but somehow he was unable to show or at least to get the powers that be to see and acknowledge that he did the work which made the governor. And all down the line there are oth-ers. All party veterans cannot be re-membered with Jobs and there must some jobs be given to those who were too busy with other matters to fool with politics while the campaign was on.. But politics is a game after 'election as well as before and It seems that there is an element of luck as to who get the Jobs. . i ' . ..... ,, 1 Welsji Halloween Custom.

' (By John Crichon.) In this school paper is thrown on the floor or put into desks. The waste paper makes a room look very untidy and paper in desks falls on the floor If every one would put the waste pa-!p-in the basket or procket it would improve the looks of a room very much. Throwing paper out of the window is a very bad practice. A person often j judges a school by its appearance and .if paper is lying around the building the pupils should pick it up or stop putting it there. So the correct place for waste paper is in a waste-baske- t 'and not lying on the ground around jthe school building or on the floor of the rooms. Lily 'America Can Keep These Pots Boiling ; v ?

The basket ball boys of Bingham are nearly all new players although they have never played in a team the boys are very active and strongly de-veloped, they won- the first game in the league and they are going to win every game they play this year. j The boys of Bingham live up to the laws of the coach, although they are very strict laws the boys have enough ability to live up to them. j The boys are all the time at the gym to practice and become better. I do not think that there is any team !that lives up to the laws any better than our boys. The people of Bing- - !ham know it and try to help them in every way. DORIUS ADAMS 24. j TUBERCULOSIS IS APPALLING IN EUROPE Vienna. The American Red Cross has Just made public a report dealing with health conditions among the children of Vienna, the most complete vollation of authoritative statistics which has yet been made on this sub-ject. Tuberculosis is given as "undoubt- - edly the most appalling factor in pres-ent day health conditions in Austria." The number of tuberculous children under twelve years of age Is set at 115,000, this figure being based on the reports made by the state deparnnent of health. Dr. Spitzy of the Orthopedic hos-pital esitmates that there are over '16,000 tuberculous children in acute need of surgical treatment, and adds that "all the hospitals together, state, public, and private have only 1,100 beds for themi" Of 54,000 children recently exam- - lned at the state clinic, only one out of twelve, or 4,500, proved to be in normal health. Dr. Josef Poener asserts that "sev- - enty per cent of the city's children under six years of age are abnormal. Deficiencies predominate among the girls, the future mothers of the na-tion." , At the sixty-eigh- t city welfare cen- - Iters, where mothers bring their chil-dren to be examined, the records show that practically all children ranging from two to fifteen years of age are under weight, some as much as twenty pounds. ; Hospital reports give an eighty- - v three per cent increase in tubercu-losis in the last two years, and a fifty per cent increase in the death rate from tubrculosis, with a marked rise In the percentage of child victims as compared with adults. "Undernourishment is the reason for this condition," says the report. Undernourishment is defined as "never getting enough." It is "like-sittin-down hungry to a big meal and having it all snatched away after the-sou-course, not one meal, but every-day for one month, six months, two years." Ninety per cent of the school chil-dren under twelve "show symptoms of rickets," according to the state de-partment of health. Rickets is de-fined as a "softening of the bones due to a lack of food of the right kind and insufficient quantity." It has been called "Viennese leprosy." The , "symptoms" reported by the state de-partment of health are ''arrested de-velopment, under height and under size, enlargement of the abdomen with. I curvature of the spine." t THE JAP QUESTION IN CALIFORNIA (By Alonzo Stavelstrom.) The Japs have been gradually ac-quiring new land in California and the California legislature sent a commit-tee to investigate the question, when I the committee reported they said that the situation was becoming alarming, so when the legislature went in session again they decided the question after they had heard the re-port of the committee. They decided that no Jap could own land in Call-Iforni- This law was taken into by the president who said that he would not brother with the law of California. The Japanese min-ister said that the law in California was interfering with the intregity be-tween United States and Japan, but both the president and the legislature !of California stood firm so now no jjap can own land in California. |
