Teachers stitute will be held Saturday, August School. 29, at Spanish Fork High All schools will be thoroughly renovated and put in shape for the openIs preing day and a successful year dicted for all. , I Every pupil from 8 to 18, physically able, is required to register during ' the first week. A new policy to be Inaugurated Into the system of the district will be of Interest and vital concern to all pupils of high school age. The Comhas pulsory School Attendance Law not been enforced In the past because it has not been understood either by parents or school authorities. This year with a broader understanding of the law, an effort will be made In the district to put It Into effect. This law shall not be Interpreted in such a way as to work a hardship on any parent or pupil but will be made to help those who are in need of jStelp both educatnoaily and financially'. Every person In Nebo District between the ages of 8 and 18 will be asked to register at the school to which they should attend during the first week of the season. It is absolutely essential and mandatory by the law that all register. Those who can attend full time and expect to go on from the first with school will register' as regular pupils. Those who for various reasons cannot attend from the beginning will register as special students and arrangements will be made to give them special consideration. In the high schools at Payson, Spanish Fork and Spring-vlll- e special teachers are assigned to register the special pupils. At the other schools such as Santaquin, Goshen, Benjamin, Salem, Mapleton, etc., the special pupils will register with the principals. .v As they register they will state their desires regarding school for th? preesnt year. It they enter late, they will state the approximate date; If they cannot enter at all they will so state and apply for exemption. Each case will be given careful attention with the desire on the part of the school to give help wherever possible. The Compulsory Attendance Law makes it necessary for all to register at a time when specified by the school The question of the amount And nature of the school work each is to receive will depend upon conditions and desires of the pupil. It is sincerely hoped that all patrons and pupils will enter earnestly into the spirit of this new law and register all during the first week and thus save expense and trouble in following up those who do not. - , A $5 bill.

' The members of the Palmyra Relief Society took their picnic Tuesday afternoon and honored their oldest member, Mrs. Peter G. Jensen, at a social. A program was given and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. . Pending the result of the suit brot in Salt Lake City to determine the constitutionality of the Redd Racing Law, the matter of fixing up the Spanish Fork Race Track to hold a race meet here is being held up. If the law is declared unconstitutional, Spanish Fork will not hold a race meet here this year, as the money for the necessary repairs at the track ' will not be forthcoming. To a citizen of a town where we have at various times held crusades against punch boards, and other small gaming devices and upheld laws in these parthe ticulars, it seems a bit odd to attend the races in Salt Lake City, and watch thousands of dollars bet In a single afternoon on the ponies under the protecting arm of the law to watch women crowd their way frantically in to get a chance to bet their husbands wages on the result of a race; or to read or hear of the fleecing of victims by bunco steerers and touts about the track. It the races come to Spanish Fork we will probably go right ahead and swallow the' race track camel after having strained at the gnat. anti-gambli- punch-boar- ' d New Extracted Honey, 8 .Tailor, can for (5.00.

Coming to the nameless torrent, he natives recalled the biblical wonders of the parting of the Red Sea to permit the fleeing Hebrews led by Moses to escape the Egyptians. The native, leader called his men to join him in prayer. On the bank the natives called to God to stay the waters' that they might go home. Then the leader advanced to the bank and struck the waters with his walking staff, commanding the flood to recede. The fifty walked boldly into the water behind their leader and were drowned. In The' Ten Commandments to be shown on the screen at the Ange-lu-a Theatre next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, a modern miracle actually Is performed. As the I reach the Red Sea the Egyptian charioteers are almost upon them. A w all of fire Is thrown between the two forces as Moses calls upon Gdd to help the people in their distress. By. means of a modern miracle of photography, a tremendous upheaval divides it before your eyes and two huge walls of water form a dry path between them. The Israelites pass safely to the other shore, but as the Egyptians attempt to follow, the waters come together and they are drowned. These stirring scenes are among dhe many in The Ten Com. mandments. i A , tp-bre- - Mrs. Jack Bingham entertained a few friends Informally last Thursday evening.
