Show THE PRESS-BULLETE- N, BINGHAM, UTAH. Articles Omitted From Xmas Edition Perhaps there is no greater proportionate loss of Liberty boada by theft, burning, accident or carelessness than of other personal property, but we cannot consider such loss without deeper sentiment of regret and sympathy than in usual cases, on account of the patriotism and frequently the great self-sacrifi- ce shown in the purchase of the bonds. The treasury department, it appears, will have an account to make of these losses in the forthcoming annual report of the sec-retary, in which it is expected to appear that as many as 10,000 purchasers of bonds have lost them in one way or another. If we put the average of bonds held at $100 per person, the loss would aggregate $1,000,000. This may be a low estimate, and yet there must have been among the bonds lost a great number of the $50 and $100 denominations. It is just such bonds of low denomination that would receive the least forethough and care in their keeping. A person holding a small amount in bonds would hardly think it would pay to rent a safety deposit box for their custody, and they would be kept as a like amount of cur-rency would be kept. Some bonds kept in safety deposits boxes in small banks have been tolen by burglars, but for the most part the losses have occurred while the bonds were in the personal keeping of their holder in pocketbooks, drawers, private safes, in closets, under carpets or other places secret but easily avail-able to thieves and the various contingencies that cause removal or destruction. In four cases out of five the losses are of coupon bonds. From time to time the government has sent out advice that coupon be exchanged for registered bonds, but here again come in carelessness, an inclination not to take the trouble, a disposi-tion to take the risk. . There can be no loss on registered bonds. The ownership is recorded and presentment of coupons is not necessary to draw the interest. And recovery of lost coupon bonds is very difficult as difficult as the recovery of lost money. If they are accidentally destroyed, substitutes can be secured on "clear and unequivocal proof of the loss," as the law says, but these words are construed so strictly that in most cases recovery is impossible. . BINGHAM STATE BANK A great financial institution in the camp and one of which all the citi-zens are justly proud is the Bingham State bank. This bank was organised in 1903, and since that time has been a constant promoter of the enterpris-es of the camp and a great factor in the development of this section. It has always met its obligations and has a good record and ejoys the confi-dence and esteem of its patrons. Last year the majority of the stock changed hands and a new ownership became effective, and under this ar-rangement the capital stock of the bank was increased from $15,000.00 to $50,000.00, and it became associated with that strong financial institution, McCornick & Co., Bankers, of Salt Lake. L. B. McCornick, who is vice president of the McCornick bank, be-came president of the Bingham State bank. Other officers are C. E. manager of the Bingham Mer-cantile Co., vice president; B. B. Hemingway, cashier; R. P. Unander, assistant cashier; P. S. Service, as-sistant cashier. And among the di rectors are Jerome Bourgard, A, B. Gibson and M. H. Sowles. Y.H. BOLAtID MAIIAGER OF O'DOIELL'S PARLORS One of the best known, most cour-- ' teous, accommodating and congenial Is William H. Bo-lan- men in the camp manager of the O'Donnell & Co. undertaking establishment here. Mr Boland located in Bingham ten years ago and since coming to the camp has steadily grown in populari-ty. He is an d good fellow - and has a host of friends. He is well educated and is one of the few licens-ed embalmers of the state. He was educated for his profession in one of the best schools in Chicago and is .well informed and well versed in many lines. He conducts his place here in a highly satisfactory manner and is al-- , ways on the job. Owing to the loca-- s tion of the camp and the severe weath er conditions which prevail at times . he has many difficult tasks to per-form but no matter how bad the weather or the roads he is ever ready to respond to the work at hand. He lias constantly improved the un-dertaking parlors here and now has one of the neatest, prettiest and Jest equipped establishments of the kind to be found in a city the size of Bing-ham anywhere. He has an elegantly well fitted chapel, suitable decorated and a modern well kept office. He has greatly endeared himself to the people of the camp and is held in the highest esteem by all who know him He is good natured, kind-hearte- d and of a most friendly disposition and in every way qualified to prop-erly discharge the duties of his pro-fession. T ImMM STANDISH ELECTED STATE SENATOR; DUDLEY IS ELECTED JUDGE Among the many other changes we note about the camp is the election of H. N. Standish to the office of State Senator at the recent general election. Mr. Standish is one of the old timers and is very popular among the people of the camp. He is one of the pioneer business men of Bing-ham and came here at an early day. He is prominent in lodge circles and is well known throughout the state. Judge E. E. Dudley was eleeted jus-tice of the peace for the fourth time if our memory serves us correctly. Judge Dudley came here as a school teacher and was principal of the Bing-ham schools for many years. He holds quite a block of Standard min-ing stock and Is quite popular thru out the Bingham district SCHOOL NEWS (Continued from Page One.) ELECTRICITY (By Clarence Watt.) Hollowing the article on "Safety First" and appliances in hath rooms and basements, this article will deal with the proper fuses to he used in ordinary light and power circuits. A fuse is placed in an electrical circuit to serve as protection. It may also be compared to the safety valve on a steam engine which is placed there to let the steam escape when the pressure runs too high and thus saves the boiler from blowing Up. ''j This safety valve is set to blow off when a certain pressure is reached. In a similar manner fuses are used to carry a certain amount of current, and fuses of the proper rating should be placed in the circuit For example an ordinary lighting circuit fuses rated a 10 amperes should be used on each individual cir-crui- t. In this case the smallest wire to be protected is a No. 18 drop cord, or a No. 18 fixture wire), and the rules of the national electrical code state that these wires will be prop-erly protected by a 10 ampere fuse. When a lighting circuit is fused in this way it means that if a ground or short circuit develops, the fuse will instantly melt and cut the flow of cur-rent off and stop it from setting the cord hr surrounding material on fire. This then serves as a warning that there is trouble on the' circuit which should be cleared up before a new fuse is inserted. This will make it plain that It is unwise to defeat the purpose of a fuse by using a hairpin or a coin to take the place of a blown out fuse. If these things are used as substitutes for fuses they serve as no protection in case of ground or short circuit and as a result the wire be-comes hot enough to burn the insula-tion around them and in many cases set the building on fire. Therefore, to summarize, it should be remem-bered that, fuses should he large enough to carry the normal-loa- d on the circuit without "blowing," and yet serve as a protective device for the smallest wire used in the circuit It is bad practice to substitute or to use fuses of a latge rating than is needed. Fuses are rated from- - 3 amperes up to 600 amperes . capacity, according to the load the circuit is de-signed to carry. CAN YOU IMAGINE t Emma Sandstrom unprepared? Edward not trying to vamp?

A new ouija board story has just come to light not far from Bingham which would be woorthy of the atten-tion of Sherlock Holmes. That ouija board actually gave certain man the name and address of of a woman, even to the street num. ber and so on, who lives four thou-sand miles away beyond .the sea--a- nd the wicked little ouija board actu-ally told him something to tell her. The ouija board told its story over and over again so there might be no mis-take, and the man it talked to is not a benedict, and so he has written the woman beyond the waters, but as yet has not had time for a reply. Its an old story that "daisies won't tell," but at that there are flowers that seem to carry the facts along with them. The little at the picture window with laughing eyes is still on the Jofc, but the Kansas Kid who so much en-joyed the pastime of making eyes so to speak and exchanging sweet and affectionate glances with liter, has gone eaast for the Xmas, forgetful of the faot that some one might dis-place him while he lis away. They say that one of the local ( school2 girls actually vamped one of the Park City boys at a recent athletic contest here. Its a' sight some girls will do. .... It hdjr further been brought to light that the Bingham girl who vamped the Park City lad has a sweetheart of her own right in town and it seems that he does not take well to the grand joke his sweetheart pulled on the visitor. But Park City is a long way off and the boy who was vamped might not make the team next year, so apparently there is not much to worry oover.

JOHN CONTRATTO, PROMINENT I BINGHAM CITIZEN DIES SUD-DENLY AT SALT LAKE John Contratto, one of tthe best known and most highly esteemed citizens of Bingham, died almost sud-denly last Thursday at a Salt Lake hospital where he was undergoing treatment for an affectation of the eyes, death following an unsuccessful operation. - . Mr. Contratto was 36 years of age and for the past ten years had resided in Bingham and was actively identi-fied with the business life of the camp. He was a native of northern Italy, but came to America when quite young. For a time he lived at Mercur, but later moved to Bingham where he soon took an active part in business here and met with a con-siderable degree of success. - He was known throughout the camp as a man strictly honest and his word was regarded as good as his bond, and he enjoyed the full confi-dence of everyone who knew him. During the year 1919 he was a mem-ber of the town board of trustees and was regarded as a most valuable mem-ber of the town administration. He took an active part in getting a fair adjudication of the depositors after the bank failures two years ago and represented the Italian delegation In this matter. His funeral was held in Salt Lake Sunday and his popularity is attested by the large concourse of friends who made the trip over the snow-blocke- d roads to pay their last respects to his mortaL remains. The services were held by the Italian Lodge No. 68 of which he was an active member, Rev. J. C. McDonnell of the Phillips Con-gregational church officiating. The honorary pallbearers were A. C. Cole, Dr. F. E. Straup, C; E. Adderley and H. N, Standish. The active passbear-er- s were John Vietti, John Benevjnu, Bruno Pajnota, John Feraco, Sam Verraz and A. Parisentl. Besides his widow he is survived by three step children, Mrs. Vera Chiara Dean, Miss Lillian Chiara and Adolph Chiara and four children, Hec-tor Contratto, Dolly Contratto, Jack Contratto and Margaret Contratto.
