L. and Jack Householder had a lucky hunch when they decided to keep a vigil over the highway lending to Bing-ham, last Saturday night and Sun-day morning at 3 :30 a. in. they halt-ed a ear driven by David Bahem JiiHt outside the town limits and de-manded to know how much he bad on. Bahem told the officers his load was "Just a hundred gallons." On Investigation the officers irlve him credit for being truthful for they found teu ten gallon kegs of whisk-ey In his car. ' In consideration of his veracity the officers decided he should be the host of the county and provided him with lodgings at the city hall. Bahem posted $500 for his ap-pearance v Wednesday in Judge Kroner's court and was released. This Is the largest haul of "hard liquor" seized In this district for a long time, according to the depu-ties, and is alleged to have come from Wyoming. Baham appeared Wednesday en-tered a plea of guilty to charge of transportation of liquor and was nneu aw ana 0 months in the county Jail by Judge Ray n. Ken-ne- r. On payment of fine the Jail sentence waa suspended and the defendant discharged. It wag expected that the warm spring days will drive the fog away but light hats seem to remain very much In style. SUITS ON INSURANCE GLALMS SHOULD BE INVEST1GATKD, MILLER Washington, D. CWvorld war veterans who feel they are Justi-fied in filing aulta against the gov-ernment in Insurance claims, should first inquire, through The American Legion, or direct to the Veterans' !iiiea,u, Itself whether the claims have been submitted to to the Permanent and Total Board for Insurance Purposes, now in ex-istence In the Central Office of the Veterans' bureau. Thla advice Is the reply of Wat-son B. Miller, national chairman of the Legion's Rehabilitation com-mittee, to a movement on the part of some lawyer to encourage sulta. "I have witnessed the efforts of wholesale lawyers in mat-ters of insurance suits, and I find one of the bad effects Is that too many men are encouraged In the lielief that they can win suit? against the government for their Insurance," Mr. Miller explained. "As a matter of fact, many do win their stilts, but many of those wlu have been encouaged to file have! lost them. It is not ardvlsable to raise the hopes of such veterans too highly. The Central Office of the Vet-.- j erans bureau has in operation a Permanent and Total Board for In-surance Purposes, before which board will go all such cases, and cases where the veteran merely asks for administrative rating of permanent and total as of a date some time within the life of his policy, but has not Initiated suit. The board has been in existence for some time informally and the rec-ord is that it has allowed a con-siderable percentage of the some six or seven hundred cases they have handled. Their record Is very good, considering that the cases al-ready acted upon were some of the most difficult ones In the bureau. The record of allowances ought to go higher as of the future. "The board la qualified to go into the matter aside from its med-ical features, such as check-u- p on social and Industrial history of the applicant and similar aspects ger-mane to the case. Its allowing decisions are final. Should they fall to allow, there la a farther ap-peal to the administrator. This operation will save many a mon's going to court and will save the coat of the attorney's fees, trial, and delay. Much time will be sav-ed because the courts are d with Insurance cases in most jurisdictions at the present time. Also, it won't delay the cases which finally must go to court very much because the ratio of time which would be required by the board to consider the applications for and total ratings, as re-lated to the number of months, or years, which must elapse before they can ordinarily be heard by the courts, considering the congested conditions of the dockets, will not begiven."

Urgent need for quick actiop is also stressed by Miss Wedgewood Few realize perhaps, how serloui" the. situation is. When we realize that 21 states of the Union, contain-ing more thu,n 401 million iiople, suf tered the blight of drought to their f crops of from ten to one hundred per cent last year and that a large per cent of these people are solely dependent on llilr crops for a living, can we visualize the condition Thousands of these people are act nally starving and many are sick and sorely in need of medical aid.' The pathetic stories coming to us ever the Radio from the stricken area are no exaggeration. end of their resources and a quick response to their call Is the only thing which can save them. Every cltlien possessed of the necessities and comforts of life should give quick response to this call. No canvass is being made in this drive.

Mr. Roy Shilling announced that te Gemmell Club was planning on staging another benefit show later In February, possibly on the 28th. In the meantime several at-tempts have been made to interest our County Commislsoners In the Bingham situation. Various committees of Bingham people have waited upon the Com-- ' mlsisoners from time to time, since last December and pointed out the work which should be done in Ring ham but thus far all of these ef-forts have been in vain. Therefore it was decided by the Kiwanlana to make one last effort and accordingly another committee was appointed to vlait with the Commissioners Friday, Feb. 10th. This waa done and as a result the commissioners agreed to pity Blng- - nam a visit on Tuesday February 10th, to Investigate matters. A summer camp for the Boy Scouts, tentative plans for which were outlined by Paul Ransome was also a matter 0 discussion. Mr. Thomas McMullin and Doc-tor Paul Richards spoke of the vocational training as outlined for the new high school and promised that all necessary facilities for the teaching of a great variety of vo-cational subjects.

WHAT DOES MINING MEAN The argument over the proposed copper tari?f must be decided on the basis of facta, not on the basla of local prejudice or political Mining is an essential industry, and if its futwte prospertly depends on porteeilon from cheap-labo- r foreign importations, It should be given that protection. But, If, ou the other hand, mining can return to normal without tariff restrictions that Is the better course. At present, the effort of copper producers themselves to adjust supply to demands is a good omen for the future. It may be that wise production proceed ure, coupled with all possible aid from the state gov-ernments, Is what mining princi-pally needs. , WORLD CALENDAR PROPOSED An International Conference on Calendar Simplification was plac-ed on the agenda of the next Gen-eral Conference and Transit, by the Assembly of the 'League of Nations, ! n meeting this fall, with the United States participating, to take defi-nite action to secure calendar im-provement In the United States there are two major plans under considera-tion th International Fixed Cal-endar which proposes a thirteen month year, and The World Cal-j- e endar which proposes a twelvemo-nth- year.

COMMUNITY CHURCH NOTICES Sunday evening, February 8th., the sermon subject will lie: "The Challenge of the Commonplace." Everyone is Invited. Rev. Harris PillHhury, professor of Bible at Westminster College will be the siieuker at the church. "Covered Dish" supper next Wedd-neada- y evening at 6 :30 .o'clock.

MINER'S LOSE TOP POSITION Murray Takes Lead In Division By losing two games in succes-- f slon, one to Murray last Friday and one to Granstville last Tuesday evening, it reduced the per centage of the Miner's from first place in the Jordan division to a tie for second place with Cyprus. The Inability to replace Vlaslc, speedy forward for the Miners, who has ts?en unable to participate In the last two games owing to an Injured knee, is attributed the loss of leadership temporarily in the race for the flag. ' The ability of the Miners to come back and wrest the first place In the division seems to depend greatly on Vlaslc'8 recovery from bis y. The locals will meet Tooele here night and on their abil-ity to defeat them depends greatly their chances for regaining leader-ship. Should Cyprus come out victor-ious over Murray and Bingham take the Tooele boys into camp Bing-ham, Cyprus and Murray would then be tied for first place which should make things Interesting. However as things, stand, with the lagging teams showing much im-provement over that of the early part of the season, most anything may happen, and a surprise is due at any time from most any team of the division. Alwut the only advantage at the present time of any team in the division is its percentage over the other teams. This fact should tend to keep rivalry high and make ev-ery game Interesting to the close of the season. Peggy and Pat You've heard their voices now have a lxk at them.

"Do shut off that horrible noise and get some real music," Peggy snld. Pat sighed and tuned out the jazz band In favor of an operatic selection. "That's better," Peggy said. "Yon know," she explained, "we just can't agree on music. But we agree pretty well on most everything else." , They were both rather reluctant to talk about themselves, insisting that "there really isn't much to tell." "They were "thrilled to death," as Peggy put it, when they were chosen to direct the Conoco pro-gram for the listeners. Pegsy, like all girls, wanted to be an actress when she was in school. And Pat confessed that he sang in his col-lege glee club. "But people don't want to hear about us," Pat said. "What they're Interested In Is the radio program." "Yes," said Peggy. "And don't forget to tune In on the njit Conoco hour. It's going to be good."

Debating Try-ou- ts Scheduled Soon The high school will select de-bating teams early next week to de-hat- e on the state high school ques-tion: "Resolved, that the chain store is detrimental to the best In-terests of the American people."

This year considerable optimism is felt Many talented students are planning to compete for places on the team. Mr. Crawford and Miss Candland are in charge of the ac-tivity. Fine Arts Program Planned At School The music and speech depart-ments of the high school are plann-ing a one act play and niniscal re-cital for February 2!Vth. The program will feature the boys and girls glee clubs, the or-chestra, the band and three short plays. The number planned will be of sufficient variety to please each one.

It is the belief of those In charge of the program that every effort shoutd be made to provide students with an opportunity for expression In cultural lines. A small charge will be made to the public in order to cover the cost of the production. MISS JESSIE EVANS WINS CONTEST Miss Jessie Evans, Democratic candidate for county recorder and who was declared by the Board of Canvassers to have lost . by ten votes in the recent election, was victorious in her contest suit which terminated last week. The recount, which was conduct-ed In the Third District Court, pre-sided over by Judge David W. Moffat, gave Miss Evans a lead of 59 votes over Mrs. Helen F. Reis-er, to whom a certificate of elec-tion had been Issued and who has occuled the office up to the present time. The certificate of election issued to Mrs. Reiser will be declared null and void and a certificate of elec-tion issued to Miss Evans. Although an appeal will perhaps be taken, an appeal in election con-tests do not stay the proceedings a in other cases of appeal and Miss Evans wilt assume the office im-mediately. This reversal will prac-tically change the entire personnel of this office.
