BRIGI1AM CITY' The new $50,000 armory and community center building was formally opened and dedicated here by an elaborate and fitting pro- grain, which prominent state and mil- tary officials, with local officials and citizens, participated. LOGAN Survey of the sno cover la Spring Hollow and on Mt. Log.--n made by the Utah experiment station on March 31, results of which were announced, shows a normal accumulator during March of about 10 Inches of water. This, however did not over- come the deficiency of snow on March 1 and, as a result, the snow cover on April 1 is considerably below that of a year ago. On April 1, 1927, there was about 41 Inches of water at 9000 feet elevation. This year there Is only 31.2 inches. Salt Lake Clearing Bkles and rising temperatures were following on one more real taste of snow, which rode into Salt Lake wi;h a brisk gale. The snowfall, of from three to five inches, which had dampened cleanup campaign ardor for a brief spell, was rapidly melting and before nightfall It was practically gone on the lower levels. SPRINGVILLE Opening of the seventh annual national art exhibit was formally observed here in the SpringDr. ville hwh school auditorium. Franklin S. Harris, president of the Brig-haYoung university, was the principal speaker at the exercises. Hundreds passed through thu balls during the afternoon's presentation of nationally known artists' works and favorable comment was heard. LOGAN According to C. Z. Harris, Richmond dairyman, plans are rapidly progressing for the annual black and white day at Richmond, which has been set for May 4. Considerable interest is developing among the dairymen of the county that are intending to have their herds represented in t!:o big event. MANTI A car of dairy cattle from Cache county was unloaded in Sanpete head recently. There were forty-twof animals in the consignment, which were purchased for $,10S5. In the shipment there were twelve grade calves at total cost of $330; a registered calf, $75; twenty grade heifers springing, bred and yearlings ? 717 ; two registered heifers, $220; five young cows $532.50, and two young bulls, $210. OG DEN Utah canneries packed 2,- 3C1.037 cases of tomatoes, peas and miscelaneous products in 1927, making the second largest pack in the history of Utah canning, the Utah Canners' as- sociation announced. The pack of 1925 f million of over three and 1927 total. In 1926 the canners packed cases was the only one to surpass the 1.005,102 cases of tomatoes and 7700.- 322 cases of peas. Forty canneries were in operation. PRICK That the Uintah basin is Interested in the proposed highway from Price to Vernal via Nine-Milwas the word brought to Price by II. D. Ford, general manager of the Raven Gilsanite corporation, who, In company with Superintendent P. II. Stephenson and Mine Foreman E. G. Gurr of the company, was In Price on business. A. T. Burton, a advocate from Vernal, was with the party, and he said the suggestion would receive the undivided support of Uintah county. OGDKN Twenty-onnumbers of the Weber County Fish and Game Protective association went to Spring creek in Ogden valley and built troughs to divert water into the fish retaining ponds of the association. The 0 ponds are now capable of holding fish, K. L. Ford, president of the association, said. Ponds In Spring creek itself also have been built with a capacity for 40.000 flngerling trout.

Xiffl'iufnL took quite a prominent part in the settlement of Georgia, a discussion arose over the question whether luelling was consistent with moral Dr. Samuel Johnson, who duty. was one of the guests, maintained (hat a man had a right to defend his honor. Turning to Bosweli, his biographer, he asked : "What would do if you were affronted?" "I should think It necessary to fight," was his reply. "That solves the question. " said Goldsmith. "No. sir!- emphatically declared Johnson, "it does not follow that what a man would do is therefore right. He who fights a duel does not fight from passion tigainst his antagonist, but out of to avert the stigma of the world, and to prevent himself from being driven out of society. I could wish there were not that superfluity of refinement; but while such notions prevail no doubt a ninu may lawfully fight a duel." Henry Clay, who fought two duels one with Humphrey Marshall, and the other with John Randolph held virtually the same opinion as Doctor Johnson, and advocated the passage of a bill by the United States senate against duelling. He admitted, however, that "the man with a high sense of honor and nice sensibility when the question is whether he shall fight or have the finger of scorn pointed at him. Is unable to resist ; and few, very few, are found willing to adopt such an alternative." During the days of chivalry in the southern states It required great moral courage not to accept a challenge, and there were very few refusals. John Randolph, whose duel with Clay was a bloodless affair, was challenged several times, but declined owing to "religious scruples." When lie stood In front of Clay his pistol was accidentally discharged, muzzle downwards, before the word to fire was given. In Ihe second round Clay missed bis mark, and Randolph fired Up In the air. Thereupon they "made up" and shook hands. Randolph was frequently branded as a coward, and was once publicly "posted" by Gon. James Wilkinson In the following Insulting language: "In Justice to my character I denounce to the world John Randolph, member of congress, as a prevaricating, base, calumniating scoundrel, poltroon nnd coward." Notwithstanding this great provocation, as well as others of a like character, Randolph stood firm In his determination not to engage In "affairs of honor." In replying to Wilkinson's challenge Randolph concluded bis note by saying: "I cannot descend to your level. This Is my final answer." Wilkinson's vitriolic "postThis was the cause ing" of the congressman from Virginia. In 178.1 Gen. Nathaniel Green twice declined to accept a challenge from Captain Gunn of Georgia, who thereupon threatened to personally assault lilm. Hut Gunn failed to carry out bis threat as General Green sent him word that be was prepared to defend himself as he always carried pistols. Gen. Sam Houston turned down several chal longes. "If they quarrel with nie that Is their privilege," said he, "but I shall try to take care that they do me no harm." Fablus Stanley and Zecharlah Johnston, United Slates nnval officers, had a misunderstanding In ISTiO and the former sent the latter a challenge. Johnston refused to fight, thereupon Stanley "posted" him as a coward In a Washington hotel, nnd dismissed from the and was navy. General Harney, whose courage no one ver doubted, was challenged by Generl Sutriaer, bui Instead of nccepting he had the nmral stamina to liave the challenger In 1S8J John S. Wise, member of congress ftom Virginia, In replying to those who expected him to resent some severe newspaper assaults by fighting a duel with I'age McCsrTy, said: "Mccarty's abuse of me has no rnor efTect than a dog harking at the moon. Ills InvlMtion comes too late. Time has been when I m'uht have been fool enough to Indulge In such tolly, but with age. and with a broader view tt life and Its responsibilities, I have bidden f trcwell to the McCnrty type of manhood." Sir Walter Raleigh, nfler he had killed several men In duels, nnd had declared that he would never fight ngaln, was challenged by a youns mnn to whom be replied. "If I could ns easily wipe from my conscience the stain of killing vou as I can this spittle from my face you should not live another minute." Although duels. In various forms and with rulec differing from time to time, date bacW to remote aces, "when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," It was not until early In the Six teenth century of the Christian era that duelling was adopted in Kurope n a met hod of scttllnu "nfralrs of honor" In accordance with an established code. So prevalent did duelling become In France that Ixiuls XIII Issued nn edict against the practice nnd sent many duelllsls to the VafTold.

A , - e hair-trigg- court-martiale- d court-martiale- noblemen, whose courage was unquestioned, made a compact to refrain from the fighting of duels. Their' stand caused a falling off In these combats, and in 1044 Louis XIV organized a court of chivalry to pass judgment on "affairs of honor," which up to that time had been settled by a resort to arms. Today there is a law in France making the killing In a duel punishable as a homicide. In recent years duels have been of rare occurrence in France, generally resulting harmlessly and regarded as a Joke carried out for notoriety. In the United States especially in the South and In California duels were very common up to the close of the Civil war, army and navy officers and politicians being the most frequent par-- , ticlpants. Today, however, a meeting to "shoot It out" on the "Held of honor" Is an unheard-o- f event and would be a front-pagsensation. One of the most determined and desperate duels ever fought In the United States was that In which DeWitt Clinton and John Swartout exchanged shots five times. It was the result of differences and bitter quarrels between the political followers of Clinton and the adherents of Aaron P.urr. DeWitt Clinton was admitted to the bar ot New York at an early nge, and Immediately entering the school of politics he became nn apt pupil under the tutorship of his uncle, George Clinton, Repuhllcnn lender and governor, who made him his secretary and appointed him to olher secretarial positions. George Clinton was a deputy in the New York provincial congress; a brigadier-generain the Continental army; was l successively elected governor of New York from 1777 to 170.1; then served In the legislature; whs again elected governor In lf'()0; nnd was made vice president of the United Slates In 1S0I. fillinp lhat oflice until his death, eight years later. DeWitt Clinton rose rapidly to eminence and power In the Repuhllcnn party, nnd had fully ns distinguished a career as his talented uncle. When he was twenty-eigh- t years old he was elected a member of the lower house of the legislature, and the following year he became a state senator. From that time to the end of his life he was, with brief Interims, a continuous lie was United States senator from 1,801 to 180.1, when he resigned to accept appointment to the office of mayor of New York city After serving four years In this position he was removed, hut was reappointed two years hitrr lie was again put out of this office In 1810, but was reinstated anil continued to serve as mavoi until 1811. Clinton was nn unsuccessful Presidential can dldate In 1S12. From 1.811 to ISM he held the and In honorary office of lieutenant-governor1817 he was elected governor; wns In 1820; declined to be a candidate two years later! nnd was again elected In 1821 and In 182(1. Ills brilliant nnd remarkably successful career was cut short by death while still In office. Clinton was a citizen. At the very beginning of his career he was on earnest advocate of public Improvement It was owing to his efforts that the F.rle canal wns built, nnd this great achievement added much to bis popularity Clinton and llurr beenme engaged In fierce political disputes In which offensive personalities were the outstanding features. John Swartout. an Intimate friend and defender of P.urr, hern me more or less mixed up In the quarrels of the two leaders. Swartout, who had himself been hnrd hit by e office-holde- , public-spirite- d Clinton's vituperative references, took up an active defense of Burr and charged that Clinton's vicious attacks were based on personal and selfish motives. This angered Clinton, who denounced Swartout as a liar, a scoundrel and a villain. Such vilifying epithets were more than Swartout could stand and he accordingly challenged Clinton, who promptly accepted. The shooting match took place in 1S02 on the ground nt Weehawken, N. J., where the famous duel between Burr and Hamilton was held In 1804, nnd where Hamilton's son had been killed In a duel In 1801. On reaching the designated spot Swartout demanded that Clinton should sign a written apology. Clinton Indignantly refused to do anything of the kind. Just before taking their places Clinton remarked : "I wish I had the principal here." He referred to Durr, who. If he had stood before Clinton at that meeting, might not have lived to kill Alexander Hamilton. Swartout was seconded by Colonel Smith, nnd Clinton by Richard Riker. The first shots were harmless. Riker, in accordance with the Instruction of his principal, now requested Colonel Smith to ask Swartout if he was satisfied. "I am not," was his nnswer. Another exchange of shots were made without effect, and again Swartout was not satisfied. A third exchance resulted without Injury, and Swartout, upon being again asked if he was satisfied, replied: "I am not. nnd I shall not be until the apology Is made which I have demanded." Ills defiant attitude was certainly that of Macbeth who shouted: "Lay on, Macduff! And d d be him that first cries 'Hold, enough!'" The prepared apology, dictated by Swartout. was again presented to Clinton for his signature, with the declaration that If he refused to ittach his name the light must go on to the finish. Clinton declined to sign any paper regarding the matter In dispute, nnd said that "he bad no animosity ngninst Mr. Swartout nnd would willingly shake hands nnd agree to meet him on the score of former friendship." This frietidlj elTer wns declined nnd the combatants resumed their positions nnd fired the fourth shot. This time Swarlout was wounded in the left leg, about five Inches below the knee. He was not disHldcd and Insisted upon proceeding with the contest, saying that It was useless to nsk him to quit. At this slage of the affair Clinton once more asserted that be entertained no animosity. Furthermore, he stated he was sorry for what had occurred, and thin offered to shake hands nnd forget the pnst. While (his conversation was In progress, the attendant surgeon extracted the bullet from Swnrtout's leg. For Ihe fifth time he faced Clinton, and was again wounded In the left leg, a few Inches above Ihe ankle. Still standing, and determined ns ever, be called for another shot. Thereupon Clinton refused to comply, nnd walked away. Swartout a!d he was much surprised nt bis action In neither apologizing nor nffording full satisfaction. While Clinton wns In Ihe United States sonate he became Involved In another "affair of honor." In the course of nn nnlmated debate he had used language that was offensive to Senator Dayton of New Jersey, who was n friend of p.urr. The next lay Dayton smt him a challenge which was accepted without any lotig-- imled correspondence. They met on October 21. ison. nnd upon Clinton making n satisfactory explanation nnd offering nn apology the duel was culled off. Two years after this Incident Swartout fought a duel Willi Riker, who was severely wounded. Riker became a Judge of the clfy recorder's court of New York, and served on that bench tor many years. o 1 one-hal- e com-panl- good-road- y s e I AVOID LOUD TALK AT MILKING TIME By loud talk or other unnecessary reasons the cow Is blamed for not giving down her milk, as we call It, while the milker and not the cow la nt fault, says Wallace's Farmer, The process of giving down tha milk Is governed largely by the nervous system of the cow. Anything that afreets the nervous system of the cow ufi'ects her production. For this reason the milker has much to d' with the amount of milk the cow gives. It is a recognized fact that the milk Is manufactured (luring the few minutes occupied by the actual process of milking. This Is the reason why the ai t of milking is of so much Importance, and also the reason why the maimer In which (lie cow gives down her milk Is so largely Influenced by the milker. It Is also a reason why a cow should be prepared for milking before the actual process of milking begins, and nlso n reason why a cow properly milked three times a day will give more and richer mill: than when milked only twice. It Is nlso a reason why an excited cow falls to give down her milk freely and completely. If the cow Is approached quietly at milking time nnd is free from fear that she will be harmed the milk manufacturing organs work normally and nt their b(st. The best method Is to approach tho cow In a quiet, friendly manner, wash the udder, teals and flank with a damp cloth. This rubbing of the udder before actually beginning milking stimulates the glands before the milking is commenced, therefore saving time to the milker. Fall-Fresheni- Cows Best, Says Floridan The dairyman who gets the bent financial returns from his cowr Is the man who plans ahead far enou;;h to have the majority of his cows freshen from September 13 to November 1 each year. This statement Is backed up by John M. Scott, animal indus- trialist of the Florida experiment station. The cows which freshen during this period are the cows that produce most milk when It is in most demand, and naturally brings a better price. Thee cow that freshens In the fall will give the least amount of milk during the summer months when it is lower In price. The dairyman who does not plan ahead and breed bis cows from December 1T to February 1 each year will find himself faced with the facts that more of his cows will freshen !n March and April than during Ihe fall. In this case he will have his heaviest milk production at the season of the year when the d?mand Is least. Now Is a good time to make a start. Every dairyman who does not have a good bull should get busy and get one right nwuy. like--wis- Good Grain Ration With Clover Hay for the Cows Where clover hay only is available, the following mixture will make a balanced ration: Ground corn CM pounds, wheat bran "00 pounds, linseed meal 100 pounds. Mix and feed one pound of the mixture for each three to four pounds of milk produced by each cow. Cows producing milk testing from 3 to rj.5 per cent fat should get about one pound of the mixture for each four pounds of milk produced by each cow while those producing milk testing about 5 per cent should get one pound of the grain mixture for each three pounds of milk produced. When silage Is not available It Is not advisable to feed cottonseed meal to dairy cows since the cottonseed meal has a binding efTect on the bowels which may cause trouble. 100,-00- ' state.
