He paid a high compliment to Tremonton, which he said, that for a number of years he had lost no opportunity of visiting, as he was always intrigued with the spirit of progress and community vigor, which marked the history of the town. Like several other speakers, he paid a high compliment to the Box Elder county fair officials, who had made possible, under great difficulties, the holding of an annual event which was taking its place as a classic, this applying particularly to the rodeo. Dr. P. L. Holman, of Mount Pleas ant, district governor of the Lions then made the presentation of the national charter, which was accepted on behalf of the local organization, by world-fame- president H. T. Woodward. Dr. Holman, made a brief address but what it lacked in length, it made up in eloquence. Incidentally the Lion Twister collected a dime from him for not talking enough, which drew the remark that if someone didn't curtail the activities of the Tail Twister, the visitors would have to fall back on the Relief Society to get them out of town. Dr. Holman told of how he had watched the seed of Lionism as it was skillfully sown in the Tremonton field, going back two years ago, when the Lion3 were organized in Garland. He had paid several visits here, when finally, at the instance of a contingent of Lions from Salt Lake, he had sent Organizer Matson here. The result and its unqualified success, he pointed out, waa evident in the gathering which werersent for the charter night celebration, President Woodward, on behalf of the Tremonton Lions, accepted the charter, and in the course of his speech of acceptance said: ::The advent of Lionism into our community has marked an era of development of our citizens. Well do we appreciate that clubs make cities, cities make states and states make our great nation. If we through Lionism can tipify our association's Motto of Lions, 'Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation's Safety', we will have found for ourselves a niche which none others could ever hope to occupy. In accepting this charter, and in establishing a completed and recognized unit of the International Lions Clubs, our hopes, our faith and our petition may best be sefr forth in the words of that ancient philosopher, Marcus Amelius, whose advice is yet so modern: Forward as occasion offers, never look around to see whether any shall note it, be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter and think that even such a result is ; - no trifle." . "As first president of the Tremonton Lions club, and in behalf of our membership. I pledge to the citizens of this community: "That the Lions Club is founded to perpetuate in mens' hearts a love of our native land,, and to talk of and operation in business, reciprocity and cooperation in business, community betterment and municipal growth. "That we are organized that there may flow from good fellowship, mutual help and profit, and that our combined influence may be systematized, directed and utilized toward the welfare and upbuilding of our community. "That we are free from political entanglements and sectaranisms; we are a brotherhood without secrets; definitely do we aim to practice concretely the Golden Rule. "That we will always, conscientiously and loyally, set about to make a better place in which to live, we will willingly and earnestly join hands with all citizens, or groups of citizens in all worthy undertakings: We are here to serve. "That we cordially invite from and at the same time extend to all organizations of like kind, character and purpose, hearty cooperation in achieving the aim which all Lions stand. To an honest, realization of all such aims the Lions club does now dedicate itself; it has no other cause for existence. Modestly, do we hope that some day it may be said of Tremonton, that it is a better place in which to live, to work, and to play by virture of her Lions club." Th audience thpn adjourned to the recreation hall where several stunts were put on bv Lion Bishop, assisted by LaVon Stokes, Douglas Cannon end Kerr. The hit of the proirram was the photographic studio, entitled "Double Exposure." And it was, and then some. It was simply bevond description, convulsing the audience with surprise and laughter.

The real headline event of the evening was the contest between the Ogden Second ward and the Plymouth athletef. Plymouth managed to eke out a 40 to 38 decision, but only after four ; sensational periods of play. Doxey and Bott each scored 15 points for the Ogdenites to share honors with Ivan Archibald and Steed of the Plymouth five. Thursday ngiht Plymouth is scheduled to meet Marriott. Well Attended Meetings Held Throughout Farm Bureau Baiquet Valley Saturday At Brisfcom During the past week Douglas Seal-le- y, o district manager of the Sugar Company, with other company officials, have held meetings at Garland, Bothwell, Thatcher, Fielding, Riverside, Bear River City and Elwood. At each place a good attendance greeted the officials. The purpose of the meetings, as heretofore explained in articles appearing in the Leader, is to acquaint the beet growers of the valley with the actual conditions of the ground pretaining to phosphates that are or ,l not to be found in their fields. The general conditions of the farms are badly depleted of phosphates and are in need of phosphates. These ingredients are being furnished by the sugar company in porportions to the requirments of each field revealed by the test made upon it. Phosphate will be furnished by the company at the rate of $3.00 per hun dred. It is estimated that the majority of the fields will require from 100 to 125 pounds per acre while some few fields will need as much as 200 pounds per acre. Up to the first part of the present week only a part of the territory had been covered but the amount of phosphate that had been ordered was 144,000 pounds, or sufficient for about 1400 acres. The officials, as well as the farm-i- n the manner in which they are being received in their efforts to put agriculture on a scientific , and paying basis. In the meetings modern methods of farming, as well as the discussion of soil conditions were discussed. Meet ings will be held until the entire disUtah-Idah- . , trict is covered. The officials, as wel las the farm ers, will watch the results of this in tensive campaign with much interest. , Bear River Implement Installs New Equipment With the advent of Spring, thej Bear River Valley Implement Co is preparing to do the biggest busi ness in its history,, not only in the sale of farm machinery but in the overhauling and repairing of tractors. With this objective in view, a complete set of steel bins, with adjustable compartments, has been installed which will accomodate the hundreds of different parts used in tractors and farm machinery, thus adding materially to efficiency in sales and service.

Road Show To Be Staged Mar.4&5 Bear River Stake is soon to The have another treat. This is coming in the form of the M. I. A. Road Show and will be staged March 4 and 5.' Those who were fortunate enough to have witnessed the road show staged by the stake mutuals last year will have an idea of what is in store in the way of entertainment for this year's show. Plans have been formulated long since which will insure even a better performance than was put over last year tho this may seem impossible. With one years' experience behind them, it is reasonable to expect a great deal of improvement in the performances to be put over. "Wait and watch for the M. I. A. Road Show" is a timely slogan. , The Board of County Commission- ers of Box Elder County met in reg--.- 1 ular session, Monday, February 17, ' 1930, at ten o'clock A M. N.
