VOLUME 4 FIRM OF POPE V & BURTON GET LIBRARY JOB I .' - Plans Submitted By Salt Lake Architects ': Accepted By Board f t.t f4fWay 4 j J evening in the Library JoiSis, a meeting was held by the library board at which Mr. H. C. Pope of the firm of Pope and Burton architects of Salt Lake City, were present and presented the plans and drawings for the new proposed library building. The estimated cost of which, by Mr. Pope, will be $8000 complete and ready to move into. The proposed building will be one story, approximately 28 by 56 feet, of the latest and most modern design and in every way suitable for its intended purposes. After duly considering the 'plans and inquiring into all phases of the building it was unanimously to accept the plans submitted "by Mr. Pope. The floor plan and the drawing of the complete building can be seen at the Library rooms during the regular library hours. A special meeting will be called, by the mayor, of the city council to discuss plans with them pertaining to the grounds etc. upon which the building will be built and if favorable action is taken by them, and there is every reason to believe that such action will, building operations will be commenced at the earliest possible date that it can be done legally. The proposed site, as stated in last weeks issue, for this new library will "be in He City Park where it is felt it much to the usefulness of little park and also thJjautiful "will be readily accessible to all and especially to the high school students who will pass it daily going to and from school. Because of this it is felt that it will have a great many more patrons than before, although since its foundation the Tremonton library has been liberally patronized "both by residents of the city proper us well as outside borrowers who have maintained an average of approximately 800 a month. t de-tid- ed wifd r tit .'

STEWART County Agricultural Agent Here's An Opportunity For Tremonton Women Just how good at canning are Tremonton women and girls? This question suggested itself today from an announcement in Chicago of a National Canning Contest to find the best jar of canned fruit, vegetables or meat in the country. Twelve hundred and fifty dollars ($1250) in cold cash awaits the woman or girl in the United States whose entry is selected as the best jar of canned food entered in the contest. The contest, which is sponsored by k the Agricultural Foundation, seeks to acquaint more housewives with the economy and health-fulneof home canned foods. For years the U. S. Department of Agriand home demonstration culture agents throughout the country have worked for increased production of native canned foods. It is to further this excellent idea and at the same time to help absorb the threatened surplus of farm products in many actions, that this canning project was , Sears-Roebuc- ss a. m., Saturday, August 18, 1877, President Brigham Young, John W.

During Past Week Excursion to Lagoon NUMBER 48 It is always interesting to gather ances and talk over old times and get once a year and meet old acquaint- the news from one another of things happening in the home town and there is always some one there that has come rather recently from Tremonton. This year Mrs. McGuire has just arived from there and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Woods had left there not so long ago. By one o'clock enough had gathered from near and far to have our picnic dinner, a goodly number attending. Hot coffee and ice cold lemonade was furnished and the rest of the dinner was brought by the individuals. About 2:30 after all stragglers had eaten we had our meeting. This year wo were honored by having two excellent singers with us. Mrs. Orson Taylor and Mrs. Christensen sang very beautifully "Utah Trail." The officers elected for next year were Mrs. Lafe Singler, President and Mrs. Lylc Watkins, secretary. Those present to pronounce it one more successful picnic and to begin to look forward to the next one were: Mr. and Mrs. Orvil Miller, Mr. and Mrs. H. P.

Welling Falls U From 25 Foot Haystack OF EXHIBITORS High Record Of 3100 For Heavy Horses To Equal In Contest Every week now sees more details completed for the coming Box Elder County Fair. Last week J. L. Harvey and P. C. Petterson, attended the round-u- p at Soda Springs, Idaho, for the purpose of selecting any features that were shown there that might add to this fair. More interest is being shown at this time of the year in the coming fair than has been shown in any previous year. The premium lists have all been mailed out to the exhibitors. It is felt that this is one of the best lists that have been sent out, many additions having been made to it, as well as the premiums raised in many departments and equalized in others with the idea of each year adding to the premiums offered for fair exhibits. Much very fine advertising has come from the fairs that have been held and many of the exhibitors have not lost sight of the value to themselves that comes through this sort of advertising and are not threfore so much interested in the amounts of premiums paid as they are in the general success of the fair which means so much to the county as a whole and consequently to them individually. It is this sort of spirit that is working now for the biggest and best fair that has yet been held. Different phases of the fair and attractions will be discussed in the coming issues of thia paper. A few suggestions are here given by O. L. Brough, supervisor of the horse pulling contest to be held during the fair: Horses should be trained to pull on the dynamometer. It is pointed out, however, that many teams will pile up amazing records in pulling on the dynamometer without any special training for it, and Mr. O. L. Brough, supervisor of the pulling contest, is urging team owners to enter their horses and mules in the pulling contest on Sept. at the County Fair. The Dynamometer is the only machine ever,, invented to show in actual figures the pulling capacity of draft animals, and the Box Elder County Fair will give men an opportunity to discover who owns the best team in the County. Horses and mules that pull in Utah this year will pull against a high record of 3.100 pounds for teams weighing 3,000 pounds and over; and against a high record of 2,750 pounds for teams weighing less than 3,000 - pounds. These are the high records now standing jn Utah( but Prof. Harry H. .Smith of the Utah Agricultural College, who is in charge of the pulling contests, is urging team owners to try to break the records this vear. The pun or pounds was made in 1927 by a team beloning to Leo Llovd of Riverton, and the pull of 2,750 pounds was made also in 1927 by a tpam belonging to R. R. Fitzgerald of Kamas. The world's high records both are held by Iowa teams; in the heavy class by a pair of draft horses belonging to Clarence Bugh of Cherokee, and in the lieht class by a team belonging to tClyde Kinney cf Bagley. The former whose combined weights were 3.700 pounds registered a tractive pull of 3,475 pounds, and .the latter weighing 2,915 Dounds registered a tractive pull of 3.100 pounds. Both records were made in 1925 and have remained unchallenged since. AA Ward Social Friday Night Aug. 16 8:30 P.M. A social in honor of Bishop and Mrs. Walton, will be given Friday evening, August 16. A good program is arranged beinning at 8:30 o'clock followed by dancing and light refreshments. A hearty invitation is ex- tended to all members in the ward over mutual age. Members of Bishopric Outing Party Returns From Pleasant Trip Dr. and Mrs. Luke and family, W. W. Wadsworth, wife and family and J. J. Newman and wife, returned Wednesday evening from a ten days outing thru the scenic wondera of Southern Utah. While away they visited Grand Conyon, Zion's National Park, the I Park located in the heart of the Kiabab Forest, and wound up at Fish Lakes, where many pleasant hours were spent angling the speckeled beauties. On their journey home stops were made at Cove Fort and the old Murdock Academy, the later place, is one of the proposed sites for the home The Dr. was for the comparing the site with what Box Elder county has to offer. The entire trip was pleasant and highly enjoy- -' able to all. What might have proved a serious fall was had by Frank W. Welling, while working on a hay stack in the fields of Merlin Grover. Mr. Welling, missed his footing and fell to the pily was not seriously injured, in fact ground some 25 feet below and hap Mr. Welling, states that he didn't so much as receive a scratch from the fall. The fact that Mr. Welling is more than 60 years of age it was quite remarkable that, he was not seriously injured. He further states, however, that he ' would not advise anyone to take the fall for the fun that is in it especially, he says, when he doesn't have time to prepare a place to light. While more or less sore and badly shaken up Mr. Welling, is Mr. and Mrs. John Miller enterhappy with his friends that the fall was not attended by more serious tained at dinner, Sunday. Guests were Mrs. Fred Schmied and family of results than was had. u Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gets and Mr.nd Mrs. A. N. Fishburn and children, Mr. and Mrs. DeMont Dock sons visited in Brigham City, Sunday. stader and Miss Hulda Meister. V-- Feeble-Minde- d. . A: w |
