Show All Is in Readiness for He Iper Ki wanis Show Thursd ay, April 6 LOCAL MEN SPONSORING PLAY FOR BENEFIT OF HELPER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BAND The Mock Trial of Erastus Carbon, a wayward and erring gentleman of colored will be presented at the Strand theater in Helper the night of Thursday, April 6, for the benefit of the Helper junior high school band. The parts are all taken by members of the Helper club, who have been practicing for several weeks, and the play is just one hearty laugh from start to finish. An illiterate colored defendant who isn't as crazy as he seems, drunken lawyers, a thirsty judge jury, and a who injects his personal opinions into the trial whenever the occasion suits him, go to make up an hour of side splitting comedy which should be No seen by all.

BUY AT HOME Fire Razes Residence Early Sunday morning, about 5 o'clock, the city fire department responded to a call at the Togui residence on townsite, adjacent to the M. P. Street home. A stiff wind was blowing and the fire, which is thought to have started from an overheated stove or defective flue, had gained such headway that it was impossible to do other than control the blaze and keep it from spreading. The house, which was of light structure, was a total loss, as were its contents. i The flames under the whipping wind reached out and severely ' burned Ike Berth side oi the M. P. Street home, and curled up the composition shingles, while the intense heat broke all the windows on that side of the building. Several times the flames reached in thru the Street windows and hungrily reached for drapes, bedding and other material, keeping Mr. and Mrs. Street busy removing furniture and ioflamable materials to the opposite side of their home. Mr. Street has voiced his thanks to members of the city fire department for the prompt manner in which they answered the call and brought the flames under control, as well as for their careful handling of the hose, as much damage could have been caused by careless playing of the water. Damage to the Street home is estimated at between $500 and $800. BUY AT HOME Miss Viola Litster of Cleveland is visiting here at the home of her sister, Miss Christol Litster for a few days.

These dates fall . during Holy week, with April 14 being Good Friday, and quite a few protests have been made at The Journal office. However, as our nation's president recently stated, it's not our baby. These dates will prevent many adhering to religious teachings from participating in the contest, and will lower the membership in the competing bands. Only 23 bands have registered to date for the Price contest, ten less than last year, and Carbon county high is the only class A band registered so far. However, the officials hope to get a band to compete with Carbon high, and still hold hopes a few more bands may make last minute registration. The Notre Dame band at Price has withdrawn from the contest, and it is known that the Holy week datings will prevent quite a few members of Carbon high and Helper junior high school bands from playing. These three bands, however, are entered for the contests at Logan, when they will enjoy full membership and have opportunity to compete for state honors. 14 -- In the last issue, of your paper appears an article under the heading, "Shocking Facts," in which apears statements quoted from an article "The Veteran Racket" by Lawrence Sullivan in the April Atlantic Monthly. The startling array of figures quoted are easily recognized as those so carefully compiled by the National Economy League and so widely broadcast over the United States in statements and articles which would make it appear that the World war veterans are wholly responsible for the present financial condition of the United States. This same National Economy League has chosen to remain discreetly silent upon other phases of government expense or "rackets," if Mr. Sullivan prefers. Any sum spent in giving adequate care to the widows and orphans of our war dead, or alleviating the pain and suffering of our war wounded cannot in fairness and justice be included in what Mr. Sullivan is pleased to term "The Veteran Racket," especially after the veterans have paid to our government nearly $500,000,-00- 0 in premiums, on the war risk insurance which they have carried. The veterans bureau administers the affairs of the veterans of all wars," the Civil war, Indian war, Spanish-America- n war, Philippine insurrection, Boxer uprising, and World war, and the figures used by the National Economy league have been compiled from a total of all veteran expense, but the reading public is lead to believe that the World war veterans are the whole burden of expense. There are other fact3 which are more shocking, but which the National Economy league does not accord the same publicity at the veteran gets. The war bonus to the railroads, the bonus to the war profiteers, the foreign bond racket, the sums of money voted to the international bankers, and also the sums of money given to foreign governments together would' make another staggering total which would build many rows of houses across the country. It is very probable that Charles E. Mitchell, late of the National City bank of New York, was an ardent supporter of the policies of the National Economy league and believed, like many others whose activities have recently been exposed, that economy like charity begins at home, and that too may account for the fact that income tax payments failed to meet the sums necessary for the needs of the veterans bureau. In conclusion, Commander Louis Johnson of the American Legion urges all posts and all members of the Legion to endorse and sup port President Roosevelt in his economy program in all branches of the government and not alone in the veterans bureau which was singled out for attack by the Na tional Economy league.
