Fif entertainattended the mothers ty ment, which began at ten in the morning and lasted until afternoon The program consisted of an original playlet, As a Girl Eats, which was presented in the morning and a pageant representing the parable of the Ten Talents during the afternoon. Community singing, games, an hour of social visiting and a delicious luncheon prepared and served by the girls also contributed to the spirit of the gathering. The play was well worked up and the pageant was very effective with graceful acting and pretty costumes. Singing of the M. I. A. songs won special commendation from the stake officers, the first ward being the first in the stake to purchase a full set of the song books for that organization. Mrs. Angus McDonald and Mrs. Lyle McDonald, leaders of the Beehive class, deserve commendation for the results of their supervision and hard work. The girls who so delightfully entertained their mothers were Lucile Knight, Wanda Fenn, Mae Murphy, Burnell Colby, Thressa Crane, Lois Bird, Arabella Atkin, Mary Matts-soVivian Anderson, Etta Allen These girls and Phoebe Murphy. have regularly attended the classes this summer and put forth every effort to make a fine entertainment for their mothers. d n, taxable property of the said district for the support and maintenance of school, the purchase of school sites, and the erection of school buildings shall not exceed in any one year 12 mills on the dollar upon all taxable property of said districts whose assessed valuation of taxable property is less than $2,000 for each child of school age resident in the district; shall not exceed 11 mills on the dollar for each child resident in the district whose valuation of taxable prep-ert- y is from $2,000 to $2,500; shall not exceed 10 mills on the dollar in districts whose assessed valuation of taxable property is from $2,500 to $3,000 for each child of school age resident in the district; Sevier school district comes within the latter classification, but it will be readily seen that the provision places no limit upon the amount it raised for bonds and special taxes, declares the limit to be upon the money to be used for the maintenance of school, the purchase of school sites, and the erection of school buildings. This is the phase upon which both parties hang their hats and whether the protest will be declared to be legal or not rests with Attorney-GenerCluff, to whom the have referred commissioners county the matter. The protest is described by interested parties to be another of the inconsistent actions of the farm bureau proving that the organization oes not support advancement and e not support advancement and of the bond, time of the defeat officers of the farm bureau stated that their organization would stand pat for a reasonable special tax. Immediately any action is taken in that direction, however, they file protest. People would like to know just what the farm bureau stands for in the matter of school advancement or if the members believe, as their actions suggest, that all schools should be discontinued and the children be on the old three Rs up brought proved to be mighty inadequate training for fighting' out the problems of the present day. - al im-do- es im-th- District Officials Temporary tact Flu Litigation between the Piute Reservoir & Irrigation company and the lower river interests was temporarily reached last Tuesday, when the trial was deferred until December' 1. The case at that time will be resumed at Fillmore... The hearing was bs fore Judge Elias Hansen, sitting in the Fifth district court, and before the final decision was made for deferring the hearing , arrangements were made whereby a survey will be made of the river system. The visit will begin next Tuesday and likely several days will be required. The party will comprise Judge Hansen, several of the counsel representing the water users of the stream and officers representing the several com- Big Cnalgi The special meeting of the various presidents and secretaries of the Liona clubs of the twenty-eight- h district, embracing Utah and Idaho, held at the Hotel Utah last Sunday afternoon, was inspiring and filled with much enthusiasm.

The meeting was called by District Gov- panies . ernor J. W. Jones of Gunnison. S. M. Jorgensen, president of the District Governor Jones outlined a Piute company, and who attended the plan and stated that the main feature hearing at Salt Lake Tuesday, stated that a stipulation had been entered into whereby the Piute will not store any more waters this year until October 1, unless it appears there is a flow in the main river in excess of the rights under the Morse and Higgins decrees. The reservoir is to continue also to turn down sufficient water to satisfy any remaining deficit in the storage of prior rights which are held to belong to the Sevier bridge reservoir users. In no sense is the stipulation entered into to be interpreted as a compromise of contending claims nor of rights nor as a waiver of relinquishment of the respective rights of either party, so the stipulation provides. The court allowed either the upper or the lower river interests until October 4 to amend pleadings in the case and to bring in any other parties necessary to a determination of the issues involved. Conferences will be held between counsel for the upper and lower river interests in the hope of reaching an early agreement on the extent of the survey and the personnel of the commission in the hope of allowing for some observations being made this fall. so-call- 89,280-acre-fo- ot of work for the various clubs within the district would be to extend the clubs and enter new fields for orclubs ganization.

" Each club in the district, according to the program mapped out, will sponsor a new club, and it is expected that by the end of the year some thirty towns will be associated with the Internationals Lions club3 by organising local duba. Dr. M. M. Nielson, former district governor and now a director of the Internationa, was present and gave a splendid talk on the proposed activities.
