As an example, we have the case of the National City bank of New York, which sold Peruvian bonds at 96 which now are worth 7 and 8. These sales were made in the face of recommendations by foreign representatives that the bonds be not sold because the Peruvian government already had defaulted on several issues.

The league of nations, as we know, was formed to prevent any country taking an unjust aggressive attitude toward another nation. Japan has thrown the gauntlet down before the league. And it is a safe wager the league will do little other than let it lie there.

Jones of Helper, who has taken a long-tim- e lease on the production of the mines. Mr. Jones supervised construction of this property in 1927 and operated it for three and a half years, this local concern being said to have the longest gravity-ope- r ated aerial tramway in the United States, it being three and one-ha- lf miles long. Th asphalt mined in the local properties is of an excellent grade and very suitable for highway surfacing and other similar uses. Mr. Jones will maintain his residence in Helper, making this his business headquarters as well. BUY AT HOME Tax Offices In Helper For the purpose of assisting tax payers in making their 1932 income tax returns, the state tax commission will establish temporary branch offices locally in Helper and Price.

Legion, Helper Wednesday evening, the post voted to erect fitting headstones over the unmarked graves of men in the Spring Glen, Castle Gate, Carbonville and Helper cemeteries. The government will furnish these markers, beautiful marble headstones 42 inches high, nicely carved, without cost wherever requested. The only expense connected with the erection is the cost of moving them from the depot to the cemetery and putting them in place, and this cost will be absorbed by the local post. Inasmuch as it requires about sixty days to secure these markers and the Legion is anxious to have them all in place by Memorial day, the Legion post is asking all relatives and friends of men to immediately notify them where these markers are needed. Communications should be addressed to E. R. Crissman, post adjutant, Helper. Trap Shooting Club to Be Formed in Helper Sunday Believing there are enough sportsmen in this vicinity who would be interested in organizing a skeet or trap shoot ing club, a meeting has been called for Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Those interested will meet in the depot waiting room at 4 p. m., at which time a meeting room will be chosen. Only a very modest sum would be required to purchase a clay pigeon machine and a barrel of targets, possibly $20, and there is belief that property can be secured convenient to Helper for the shooting grounds. There are many sportsmen in this vicinity, and some are of the opinion that formation of a skeet club eventually will pave the way for the organization of a rifle club, with a possible indoor range for winter use. Messrs. D. K. Downey, Al Sage and Don Lambson are among those interested in the formation of the trap shooting club, and urge all sportsmen to be present to hear the plans discussed and lend their views. 6-- 8; that date taxpayers become delin- quent and penalties are provided by law for negligence in filing returns.
