He has served rule in virtually every coal producing district of the country. To generally prevailing high temperatures throughout the West for a long continued period much of the lack of demand for coal can be attributed. .However, there is never a cloud but has a silver lining. With the revival of quartz mining in the West, there will be a greater demand for coal, and the Helper district should be one of the greatest beneficiaries, since Utah is the foremost producer of silver among all the states. A general survey of conditions by those in a position to know, shows thatthe horizon has a much brighter aspect for the coal industry than it had a year ago. Have You Any Gold Trinkets? If So, Local Legion Post Will Receive Them With a Grateful Smile to Save Drum and Bugle Cors. Kept Can Do for a City Well, that big dollar check issued by Carbon Post 21, American Legion, has gone the rounds, and finally landed home after being taken up at a local store for its face value a round silver dollar coin of the realm. This check was issued to bring agout a concrete demonstration of what a Helper dollar can do if kept in Helper. The check was about two feet long by 10 inches in depth, and was the cause of much comment, and all who know the story have had it indelibly impressed upon them the utmost necessity of economic loyalty to their own community. That Legion dollar check paid for many things. To give the reader the the plot was hatched by the Legionnaires at one of their own meetings. The Journal printed the huge check, and (now don't laugh), when it was delivered the Legion Committee went ribht-ovand bought beer with it. That started it off. Before the check was taken up Tuesday it had paid for essentials of life for an even thirty persons. Mind you, that Helper Dollar, kept in Helper, served thirty persons before being called in! Jim got it, turned around and bought something from Sam, and Sam bought something for his wife from Max, then Max used it for something he needed, and so on down the line, until this low-dow- n, er ducat bought $30 worth of merchandife. as president of the Retail Fuel Isn't that a beautiful lesson in Dealers of Utah and of the Salt LOOK around, folks, and see if haven't some old trinket? finance ?

To Be Released Soon And judging from later reports from Salt Lake, the local men, were successful, for it has been decided by the board that Calvin Ward will be released from a 5 to 20 year sentence on May 24 next. His brother, Herbert, will be released April 6 next, after each has served approximately one year.' This action was taken by the board Monday at Salt Lake, after an extensive hearing, wherein the Ward brothers were represented by two; attorneys. All local residents who are familiar with the case against the Wards are convinced there was a miscarriage of justice, and scores of friends have since been exerting every influence to have the pair released.

He, too, was found guilty. The brothers, in their stories to the board of pardons, maintained their innocence, declaring that they had not taken the stand in the trials because of having engaged in rum running. Calvin Ward said that he was in EvaniE-the night of the crime. Wyo.,-,o- n Not In Crime Mandell personally pleaded with the board to free the Ward brothers, declaring they were not his partners in the crime and that he had not known Calvin Ward before the latter was incarcerated in the- Utah prison last May.
