C. Wright home was the scene of one of the most enjoyable and successful ladies nights ever staged by the Salina Lions club. Lions, their ladies, District Governor G. S. Richards and Mrs. Richards, of American Fork, and a few invited guests, numbered more .than fifty, and the entertainment of songs, readings and addresses afforded a most entertaining time. Reed Thorpe, a member of the Salina Lions club, this acted as toastmaster, and modull allowed never a "phenom ment but kept the group in an uproar. Following' the opening' number, in which all joined, the America, feast of deliciously prepared fried chicken, salads, hot rolls and other viands that go to make a real feast, was served by Mrs. Rula Martin of the Main cafe. During the feasting a mixed program was given and toasts were made by many of the local Lions. Among the readings were two numbers by1 'Mrs! Deward Hopkins, both of which brought great applause.

G. Ellis, prominent attorneys from Salt Lake City, spent last Saturday in alina on legal matters pertaining to a suit of long standing, involving T. Simpers and P. C. Scorup. The suit was started in 1922 and in the complaint Simpers sued Scorup for an accounting of assets of the old Salina which were emerged into the business of the Salina Cash store. The case has been tried three times in the district court and in each instance verdicts were rendered in favor of the defendant, Scorup. Twice the case has been appealed to the State Supreme court. In the last decision of the supreme court, given in July, the verdict of the lower court was reversed and ordering a judgment in favor of Simpers, according to the statement of the visiting attorneys. The amount of the judgment is slightly mere than $4,000. Co-o- i p, Mr. and Mrs. Wayland Mattsson and.

At a recent meeting the trustees voted to cut the fee from $75 to $50, in the hopes that it will make it possible for many students to attend who would otherwise find it impossible if forced to pay the regular fee. The board, it is further announced, has made further concessions for the prospective students. It has been provided also that the tuition can be made in small installments, so as to accomodate everyone. As an indication of the depressed conditions, more students than ever before are seeking batching quarters, preferring to do their bacon and hotcakes rather than seek some boarding house.

The b'g boys in the Nephi bunch, classed as heavy hitters, bit on Birds fast ones but missed, and four of the mainstays of the Wheat City failed to connect and were fanned out. Not alone did Bird perform marvelously as a pitcher, considering it being his first full game pitched this season, but he was there with the stick. With two on he clouted a home run, a three-bas- e hit with two on and a On his three-bas- e clout, pitcher had planned a walk or the dangerous hitter. Bird foomd them.

Eddie Jensen slammed a which helped the Salts along the way. Cliff Rees, for the Nephi lads, was in true hitting form and he hit 1000 per cent. Two of his wicked whacks were for homers, while the other two were for singles. Seven errors were counted for Nephi, while two were New Fossil Beds Attracting Science C. II. Bigelow, a leading factor in the organization of the Associated Civic clubs of Southern Utah, and secretary of the Arrowhead Trail for the past fourteen years, is confident that Southern Utah, with its scenic attractions and its possibilities of unearthing prehistoric relics, its advancement in industries, will soon be widespread and will draw further on the tourist travel, and incidentally attract further investigations by men of science. Mr. .Bigelow was a visitor here last Thursday, stopping over for a brief visit with The Sun writer. Mr. Bigelow is highly enthusiastic over recent discoveries of fossil beds at Castledale. Preliminary surveys at the beds indicate the presense of fossils which may, with further exploration, reveal the presence of prehistoric animals. Thus far shells and fish skeletons, in the petrified form, have been found. Mr. Bigelow was carrying several samples of the fossils- found and on his arrival at Los Angeles the samples will be turned over to scientific men for further study. Those who will make inspections of the recent finds w'U be Dr. Geo. B. Clements, in charge of agriculture for the Los Angeles chamber of commerce; Dr. Comstock, with the Exposition Museum and Park at Dr. Harrington, in Los Angeles. charge of the Southwest Museum at Los Angeles and recently known in the exploration of the gypsum caves near Las Vegas, will also make a study of the finds at Castledale. Dr. Harrington, in the venture of the exploration at the Las Vegas caves, found droppings of the ground sloth, implements and piles of charcoal used and created some 20,000 years ago. Mrs. E. C.
