Stebblns and Mr. J. W. Fox, organizers for I he Red Rav-r- n Aero Club corporation, who visit-er Bingham In the interest of tht! or-ganization Friday These getillemes visited many or the air fans wj.ih here and spoke very eiithushiMtieall.v of their plans and expressed confi-dence in the local prospective men: her:! lin-- e to put it over. Ilr. T. V. Morgan, one of tho.e on whom they '.lied, expressed confidence in the proposition and it would seem then are enough people interested here to put it over. Clubs are now being organ Ized in many of the towns and cities throughout Utah, and the nation, anO it seems only a matter of compara-tively a short time when much of the passenger transportation will be via the air. The selection of the air port for Bingham is near Copperton, where an ideal field can b constructed. In-structors have been engaged, Mesarj. Frank S. Nelson and Don Gayer from Kelly's Field, San Antonio, Tex., will be in charge here according to the Messrs. Fox and Stebbtns will br in Bingham on'March 7th to complete the organization at which time the; expect to enroll about 20 person.s for a class In aviation. If these plans go through a survey of the district will be made, thtewil' require about 30 days time. The Red Raven Aero Club has i large hangar at the Woodard field Salt Lake, and being inadequate rot the preseit needs. A substantial ad-dition is planned for the near future. Ladies Night Kiwanis and their ladies celebtat- - ed Washington's birthday at Klwanis hall on last Thursday night. A ban- - quet was served at which Hon. Dan B. Shields of Salt Lake City was the ' principal speaker. The regular week- - ; ly business meeting was abrogated in order to give the evening to enter-taining of the club members and their gnestii, After the banquet and-eulog- to the memorable first president, of the United Slates, the time was givn, over to dancing, which continued to a late hour. The large number who a'tended i;.med '0 enjoy this feature inmii nsely. ; The address of Judge Shields I ho immortal Washington, He o.xioled the virtues of thl great nan of ' is truthfulness, honesty and hon-or, his Tespect for the law and high ideals. Mr. Shields made several comparisons of the social .tanUards existing at the present time and those which formerly prevailed. Ha dwelled at some length on the moral standards of today and according; to his views those standard are not Im-proving. The club will hold the regular weekly luncheon to night at 6:30. This will be business meeting and eatters of much importance to the community will be considered. The various committees will report on the progress made In sanitation and health, school conditions, scout , activities etc. and plans tor the car-- ravan to go to Seattle in June. A full attendance is expected. Bingham Grants-viil- e Play for Title Friday The climax of the Jordan division basketball race will be held in the Grantgvillu gymnasium tomorrow night between the Bingham High and the Grantsville High. The;e two quints are at this time in a tie for the top position in the division race and both teams are playing spectac-ular ball. In the game last Friday the local boys were beaten by Jordan 'by the score of 22 to 30 in a game which was filled with thrills and I igh cla. s basket shooting by tjie Jordan team. The local boys seemed to be a bit off color and did not play up to their usual standard. Grantsville had litle trouble in dis-posing of the Toele team which came so nearly upsetting Bingham In the game a week ago here. . Should Bingham loje this game they would be in a tie with Jordan, should Jordan defeat Murray for the second place in the division standing. This would mean that Bingham would have to play the tie off with Jordan and would then have to play the run- - nerup in the Salt Lake division for a place in the tournament. Should Grantsville lose however, they would also have to play the tie off h Jordan or Murray and the winner to meet the runnerup of the Salt Lake division. The game tonight in the Grants-ville hall should be attended by ev-ery Bingham fan that it is possible j for to get there. The hall is small and the seats are few, so it is advisable I for the local fans to go early in order to avoid missing the game entirely. We might add that we would deem it a vast improvement to the state tournament were two team.3 allowed to enter from the Jordan Division, Inasmuch as there are more games scheduled in this division than in any other in the state. This year the runner up of the Jordan division will be compelled to play 12 games to get to the tournament while the other di-visions in th state have only to play about half that number. The boys in the Blue and White are going against great odds in the game tomorrow night with Grants-ville and the aid of each an devery loyal fan in Binham Canyon is need-ed to put over a win. L Coming Out of His Hibernation fei nf p vi f y IM w x ft XiiS The Measure of Success An English newspaper recently published an interview with an aged coal miner whose earning today amount to but little more than $20.00 a week. It consisted of advice on at-taining success out of life. To most readers, and probably to the reporter too, this was merely a joke. But we are inclined to give it serious consideration. There are value3 other than the dollar mark by which success may-be measured. Thtre are many things for a man or a woman to get out of life besides material possessions. We all know men who have col-lected much of the world's wealth but who have secured little of the happi-ness or richness that lift has to give.' We have seen them buried day after day and year after year in the details of their business.. No room in their experience for things of the spirit, of the heart. So absorbed do they become in the game of accumulating dollar. that they fail to win the hearts of their own children. So ob- - sessed are they with sales quotas, ac-counts and systems that they never have time to enjoy art, literature, musci, or travel. Thus they spend the best years of their lives and then when old age conies they find themselves alone with thir gold, which can then bring U:em nothing but care and worry. For the sake of it they have given up their capacity to see and enjoy the greater things in life. Their child-ren are grown-u- strangers. Their Iriends are scattered and forgotten. What irony there is in the interview; they then give out on how to succeed. Perhaps after all thi old coal min-er did have a message. For all we know he may have achieved greater succss than that of the owner of the mine, in which he labored. "eeAPal" Rex B. Barr There are men who are busy with the tasks of life, Who labor from morn to night. Whose spirits are heavy with the toll and strife, And who feel it's not worth the fight. Th.) deep furrowed brow and an eye that 4s dull The coming of old age betray, When all that Is left of Ufe is the hull The (lower has withered away'. v ' Life need not be dreary and full of dismay; You can fill all your moments witV joy. Abandon your trouble drive the blues all away By being a pal to some boy. There's some little buddy out yonder at play With a soul as pure a3 the dew; He's longing for some one to show him the way Perhaps he's waiting for you Flow about it old man? Will you take To give .some buddy a hand? You can show him the way and help hlra to climb To the most worthy place in the land. So come on'all you fellows, they're waiting for you; Forbet you rtoil and your strife. You'll laugh at your cares, you'll for-get you were blue While you're helping some kid build a life." Dedicated to the men of Bingham who sould be helping build boys in-to men. Father and Son The touching telegram from the el-der Hickman to his fiendish son iias been commented upon by a number of papers in a sarcastic tone that ap-pea-to the editor. None of us can spare much sympathy for the man who deserted his- - family for another woman, and now feels so distressed because t'-- boy he left has turned out to be a vicious moron. Neither can we spare much sym-pathy for the rich man who forgets about his family "in the single minded pursuit of wealth. Is the job of ac-cumulating dollars more important than the duty of developing char-acter, When Theodore Roosevelt was guiding the affairs of this great, na-tion, he found plenty of time to de-vote to his family. When he was off in Africa, or making hi,; triumphal tour through Europe he was a pretty busy man, but he still found tim to write long and amazingly interesting letters to his sons. He recognized that the greatest duty confronting any man lies in in-fluencing the development of his chil-dren's character. ' GUN CLUB FORMED.

This week we will tell you some-thing of the department of dramatic acts in the Bingham High School. This department is in charge of Miss Helen Candland who has been it. di-rector since its organization two years ago. When this department was first or-ganized it was very unpoputai and required no small amount of effort to bring it under way. Boys especially shied from taking up the study fer.r lng they would be classed as "sls but through the efforts of the faculty and Miss Candland this has grown to be one of the leading departments of the scj ool and the enrollment is now quite f:i tisfactory. The foundation of building this de-partment has been laid by devoting attention to the interpretive side o' thLj subject but the oral branch of dramatic art Is now being taken up and the students held oratorical contest last night at which con-testants spoke with a time limit of from 6 to 10 minutes each. A suitable prize was given the winner of this contest by Principal and Mr:,. Atkin, The chief aim of this department is to teach expression and to enable the pupils to enjoy good literature. It has been the purpose of Miss Cand-land to see that every student ha.; a chance to appear in some public e, fifty students have so far appeared in play this year. One of the needs of this depart-ment is a theatre room where stage setting may be provided. It is the intention to make this department the cultural center of the Hig'i School to decorate and beautify the room and to install in the pupils a love for the beautiful. This department is now g as to necessary extra equip-ment needed, and Mis.3 Candland ex-presses appreciation to the patrons of the school for their support of ti e several operettes given this year. WATER RATES INADEQUATE. From an investigation now being conducted by the Town Board it ap- - pears the water users of Bigham are paying less for water than is required by other municipalities of the State. When the survey is completed it is the intention of the board to classify ; . the rate so the patrons will pay more nearly in proportion to the service ; rendered. It is reported many water users pay nothing at all for water and others pay an amount altogether out of proportion to the amount of water ? which their establishments use. For instance it is stated, apartment houses with fifteen u fZ and W apartments, with a monthly rental value of from four to seven hundred .; dollars pay in some instances a pal-try $2 per month. The purpose o the board is fo es-tablish a rate which will be fair and ! equitable to all water users and at t the same time produce revenue suf-ficient to maintain the system. SHE TOOK THE BAIT. IjRee what a wonderful bargain I got by buying out of town," said one of the editor',.; acquaintances recent-ly. It was a bargain, no question about it a standard piece of mer-chandise considerably below the re-gular price list. "Did you buy anything el3e on thai shopping trip " we asked. "Well, a number of things," caiAe the answer. "Oh, no, they weren't such good bar-gains aj this, but good values never-theless." The bargain she got was one of the typical 'loss leaders" that big stores and mail order houses sell at cut rate charging the loss off to sale? promotion. They usually make up on something else. We don't qurrel with their me-thods of doing business. But still the editor would rather buy every-thing at a legitimate profit from one of our home merchants than to buy where he may have to make up the los3 incurred upon the leader sold to some other shopper. The loss leader may be good bait, but we are not bit-ing right now. In last week's ivssue w published a letter by Mr. D. C. Jensjen, superin-tendent of the Jordan District schools, which was written in rply to an article entitled "Wre want lair play." y In this letter we are accused of be ing anything but fair, and while we felt the people should know the con-tents of this letter and the viewpoint of the majority of the school board as expressed by its superintendent and published the letter in full, we do not for one moment admit any spirit of unfairness in this article. In the iirst place we are not personally acquainted wth the local situation having only recently come to thi.3 district and had no. will in the matter except to give the public as accurate an account as possible of actual con-ditions, we do not aim to do anything else but give them facts, unbiased truth, at all times. The information on which this ar-ticle was written came from one Wio is well informed on thij phr.se of the subject and was published 'n all good faith on o )r ) art. A Committee of business men headed by Mr. J. D. Shilling as chair-man has visited practically all schools In the district and met with tthe Board of Education and &3 soon :as this committee reports we will our readers the findings of the 'Committee. In advance of this re-To- rt we can state the Board is carry-"tin- g trat its building program a8 plai-ned and no school buildings for Bing-ha- Canyon are included in this plan. Mr3. Dave Lyon entertained Mon-day afternoon honoring her son Ri-chard's, fifth birthday anniversary. 'Games were played asd refreshments served to the following little guests: Betty Palfreyman, Lorraine Canfield, Ruby McNeil, Ethel Richards, Robert Bolman, John Larrtck, Howard Sum-nich- t, and Glen Miper. THE COMMUNITY'S MOTOR. Watch an aeroplane some day as it soars gracefully into the height. Smaller and smaller it grow3 and fainter and fainter becomes the roar of Its whirlwind motor. But some-thing goes wrong. The motor begins to spit and miss. And back towards the earth the graceful plane, coasts. The pilot has been forced down by something out of adjustment in that intricate motor. ' We may compare our community, to an aeroplane. So long as its mo-tor, community is funct-ioning properly, so long as each working part is operating in har-mony with other parts, the commun-ity will continue to mount to higher and better things. But when some-thing goes wrong with that motor, when some part refuses to operate in tune with the others, when it burns up its essential fuel, community loy-- j alty then begins the long but sure descent to the old level. ' J. R. Mclntyre, chief deputy of- the Sheriff's office, has been confined to bed at Salt Lake City several days tins week wit'.i a severe cold. "Jer-sey" Hendricksou has also been con-fined to his bed this week at Salt Lake City. Mrs. De Wit Dunlavy was a visitor 10 Bingham this week. Mrj.
