Stevens Co., Grant Church and Son Lumber Yard and the Hun-saker Hun-saker Motor Co. All three firms lost money and papers and records were strewn about as if a search for more money had been made. The burglaries were discovered Monday morning when the businesses busi-nesses first opened at the usual hour. The thief or thieves entered D. Stevens Dept. Store through one of the air conditioning vents. They broke open the firm's safe and took approximately $2000. The irony of this burglary is that they used axe, tools, hatchet, hammers and large screw drivers, from the hardware department of the store. Mr. Wm. J. Starley, manager of the store, stated that no other merchandise had been taken. Mr. Grant Church, owner of the Church Lumber Yard, theorized that the quarter Inch drill taken from his place of business was used to gain entrance at the D. Stevens Dept. Store. The cash drawer from Mr. Church's register had been emptied of ten or twelve dollars. The glass on the back door had been broken and the night latch unlocked to gain entrance. Mr. Church stated that the culprit had worn boots and had tracked in a lot of mud at his place. Enroll In Utah Oil Do you know how important tractors are to your farm?

Delta 10 11 (21) 18 12 51 Wasatch 4 10 (14) 11 li 36 This was the eighth straight win for Delta and in it almost every player got in a little playing. But it was the fine play of LeRay Jackson, Jack-son, who scored 18 points in the second half besides sparking the offensive and defensive action, that displayed the desire and ability of this year's team. With these two qualities anyone can go all the way, and a good way to get started start-ed in that direction would be to gain a victory at Millard this Friday, Fri-day, January 15.
