This cup was won in 1926 by the Magna baseball team and taken from them last year by the Copper 'team. This cup was given by Mr. D. D. Moffat, vice president of the Utah Copper Co. and it will become the permanent property of the team in the Copper League who first wins the pennant twice. The Forerunner of Spring J r - w MKT , ) A pMX - ) Kindergarten Assured At the meeting of the ordan School Board hut week it was definitely de-cided to inaugurate a kindergarten course at all the schools In the dis-trict. Beginning with the opening of the term this fall, rooms and equip-ment will be provided in connection with the grade schools, and the kin-dergarten will become a part and parcel of the grade system, running throughout the year in Bingham. The investigation has gone into the matter of kindergarten work quite exhaustively. While the board has favored the movement all along, many problems have confronted them. It Is necessary to make kin-dergarten fit into the school system efficiently and at same time not to incur too great an additional expend-o- f mone y. The adoption of a kindergarten in the Jordan District marks the district as one of the first of the rural sys-tems in thi., section to foster the plan. The Xational Kindergarten As.wi-- i ation has sent representatives into all sections of the country lately and , can led an active campaign to aiouse internet in this work and the success of the undertaking is largely due 10 the activities of this organization. As progress is marked along other lines of endeavor it is also well de-fined in the fields of education and mental development. This kinder-garten movement has been long sought after by teachers as well as parents and other interested persons. Boginning next year the students of the age of 5 years at Copperfield, Hy-lan- d Boy and Bingham will be able to attend the kindergarten instruc-tion. In the past it has been neces-sary due to' the crowded condition of the schools to eliminate all children who were not actually six years of age from school altogether. There-fore the child of nearly six was com-pelled to wait another year before Starting to school, The result of the loss of such a year in later life can be readily appreciated. A similar step in being very grave ly considered in the higher fields of education. The induction In various sections of the state of Junior Col-leges to take the first year students from the Universities is the step be-ing considered. Bingham Canyon could indeed profit by the presenee of such an institution. Also there Is planned the elimination of dupli-cate courses in present school admin-istration which according to the edu-cational authorities will save one year's time in twelve. Wherefcre i allowing the student to complete the grade and high school courses in 11 years. Indeed a marked improve ment over the present system pro-viding the same result can be obtain-- j ed in education. It shall be our intention to keep the people of Bingham Canyon duly Informed as to activities along these lines. --town loyalty: " No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, but what his town is r.n aid to him in some way or another. There is where he em-ploys his capital or his labor, builds his home, enjoys the soc ity of his kind, and in short, finds everything that makes life worth the 1'ving. Failing: to find these things he usually goes in search cf them elsewhere. If lie remains it is natural to suppose that he has found that which he sought. Since your town boasts you why not do as well by it as it does by you ? To progress it needs the help f every citizen, and every citizen benefits individually from every community improvement, whtther that improvement take the form of public works, popula-tion growth, increased prosperity or business development. No community is so miserable and unattractive that it has not its booster?, and none so perfect it has not its knockers but tilt city or town achieves most in civic betterment which has the most boosters. There are boosters rnd many of them in our town.' They and t;:cir forerunners have made it the fine community it is and are iraking it the better community all want it to be in the future. There arc 2 reasons why a citizen should be a civic worker and booster. First, it is unfair to place the whole burden upon the few pnd second, every citizen owes it to himself and his fellow citizens to do everything within his power to make the community better 1h."t it may he better serve all. However, on? should not make the mistake of confining his boosting to talking about the virtues of his home town. Direct pays, but the kind of boosting that pays the highest d-ivider's is sober and persevering endeavor of the kind that builds and beautifies the community. A TOWN'S BEST BOOSTER. f ...A writer in a current magazine observes "if the neyspaper is just a little better than its town, the latter is the gainer thereby." Towns and their newspaper usually lag or lead together. Pro-gressive journalism is the unfailing tonic of the lethargic com-- i munity, but it is equally true that a lieless newspaper can seri-ously retard the development of its community, j While a poor newspaper is better than none to the individual reader, that does not hold true for the town. What can a good newpaper do for its community? It can serve as the town's messenger to the outside world. ' It must take j the leadership in all community projects if they are to be success-ful. It is the infallible line of communication between local govern- ment and citizen. It is to the newpaper that all organizations I turn for assistance in public welfare movements and without that assistance they face failure. The newspaper reaps the reward of its initiative by sharing hn the general improvement of business and community affairs it has been instruental in bringing about. The good newspaper deems it a pleasure to serve its community and its readers and is fully aware that it is only through service that it can progress and prosper. Bingham Air Fans Meet A meeting of local air fans was held on Wednesday night at the R. C. Gemmeil Memorial Club when plans were laid for the organization of a local iird Raver. Afro Club. Mr. C. I) St fcHns outlined the program an,! gave t'-- boys particulars of the ne-cessary requirements to put the club on a going basis. A plane and ne-cessary equipnunt and instruction:-fo- r twenty students will rettii"e ?10()0 or $200 dollars each. Under this ar-rangement each member of th, dub would hold a 120 intep st in the plane and property of the organiza-tion. This is a wonderful opportunity for the fans to learn to navigate the air at a very reasonable cost, ti ls fi-gure being only a fraction of what it would cost an individual for the course. Mr. Stebbins was enthusiastically received by the fans present and as-sured them of the high class instruc-tors which his organization employs. Those desiring further information on this subject are refered to Mr. T. A. Kent, or Mr. II. P. Matthews, both of Bingham Canyon. j Cuuiouiplaiing the State Firemen's Convention which will meet here next August, plans are being developed which it is expected will provide the means to entertain the visitors in a manner befiting to the occasion. Bing-ham has the reputation of being good entertainers on such occasions and tMs will be no exception.

SUICIDE. Despondent 'and broke, Frank Wright, unfortlnate cripple, ended his career at a rooming house here at about 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. Having but one arm and being out of work and on the down hill in life's journey, perhaps inspired him to the act. The landlady of the place heard a shot about 3 o'clock but thought it was outside the place. About two hours later she made an inspection and on opening the door of his room discovered Wright laying on the bed dead with a 38 cal. revolver clutch-ed in his hand with the muzzle press-ed against his head. The police de-partment was notified and made an invstigation and it was decided no inquest was necessary as it was evi-e- nt the homicide was intentional and that the wound which caused his death was self Inflicted. Wright was about 76 years of age. Efforts are bein gmade to locate his relatives and it is reported he has a brother In Omaha. Neb. and a sister in Los Vegas, N. M. The fraternal Order of Eagles held another banner session on Monday1 night. The occasion was the Initia-tion of new members, nineteen of whom were Induced into the mysteries of the Order at this session. The local Aehria is enjoying unusual prosperity at this time and enrolling many new members. Cards are out for the Grand Ball which will be held by the Eagles on April 6th. This occasion will no doubt be one of the main social events of he season. Public is in-vited to atend this function. The card party held at Fire Sta-tion No. 2 on March 8th was largely attended and the fire laddies again showed that they were good enter-tainers.
