AUGUST 7, 5 BABY NELSON MADE BUSINESS FOR MERCHANTS Big Crowd of Saturday Shoppers Stress Era of Prosperity. f;(J A stranger entering Tremonton last Saturday, invariably the shopping day for the farmers and their families, could not be otherwise than strongly impressed by the unmistakable evidence of prosperity visible on every side. The sidewalks were thronged with people. Every inch of parking space on both sides of Main street from the railroad tracks.east as far as old chapel building, was taken by cars, and for almost a block on either side of the cross streets, parking space was at a premium.; The stores, too, were crowded all evening with buyers. When the heavy rain storm broke, the water coming down in torrents, pretty much everyone on the streets ran for cover, as did the high school band, which had just finished the concluding number of the series of summer concerts, many fearful that Tremonton was the victim of a cloudburst similar to that which has been twice experienced recently to the south. It wasn't a cloudburst, however. Just a heavy downpour of rain that was greatly needed, and which has brought immeasurable bene-f- it to the sugar beet crop. It lasted for about an hour, and in that time, the precipitation established something of a record, the fall being 1.10 nch.6S. rain didnt' dampen the ardor the shoppers, for while the storm lasted, the stores did a g business.

The tact tnat in this section the harvesting of the biggest grain crop grown here in many years, is under way, had considerable to do with bringing so many people to town, and merchants are smiling with satisfaction that so many of the farmers, who have been carried on the books from one season to the next, came in and cleaned off the financial slate, and it didn't seem to hurt either. kBut the KlTof "land-offic- j ROUGH RIDERS DEFEATS OGDEN BY SCORE 13-- 5 Ken Slater, the crack twirler of the Ogden Depot Grocers, failed to check the hard hitting Kough Meiers here Saturday, and lost the game 13 to 5. The winners collected 15 safe hits off the youthful pitcher. Six of these came in the first inning. Earl Watkins on the mound for the Tremonton team pitched on the mound for the Tremonton team, pitched a nice trame and was danger only once. The Ogden team got three runs on four hits, in the fifth inning. Bertoldi hit safely three times in four trips to the plate. Watkin's struck out ten men and hit three of four at the plate. Evan's and McDowel also played good ball for the winners.

One of the Taylor boys left the house to do some chores, and the boy David, toddled after him. Twenty minutes later the Taylor boy returned to the house, and it was then discovered that the- little one was misshig. A hasty search was instituted, and the body was found a little later, about a half mile clown the canal. It was believed that life was not extinct, and the unconscious form of the child was rushed to the Valley hospital where it became manifest, that the child was undoubtedly dead, when the body was taken from the canal. The father of the child was William Nelson, who died April 25th of this year. Besides his mother, the deceased is survived by a sister, Norma, four years old. - 10:00 a. m.

' REGISTRATION DAY0FV0TERS BEGINSAUG.il Voters RegisWith tered Less Than 100 Voted Last Year 400 The first date set for the registration of voters for the November election this year is Monday, August 11. Other dates selected are August 19, and 30, and October 7, 8, 14 and 28th, The names of those who voted at either the 1928 or 1929 November election of close to 400 voters in the qualified voters, and it will not be necessary that they register again. However the safe way is to investigate and make certain that ones' name is there. It is to hoped that greater interest will be taken m the comng electon than was evidenced at the last municipal election, when out of a registratration of close to 400 voters in the city of Tremonton, considerably less than 100 went to the polls. The coming election is of extreme importance. At that time the voters will be given an opportunity to say whether or not they are content with the present antiquated method of taxation, and a continuance of a system that permits entanglible property to go scot free of taxation, while the farmer, the wage earner, the business man and owners of realty, are forced to strain their backs and purses car rying the entire expensive burden of support of the state, county and municipal governments. At the election in November, an opportunity is given to vote for an amendment to the state constitution, which will permit a more equitable distribution of the burden of taxation, and if the voters fail to take advantage of this opportunity, they should forever after hold their peace and cease to grumble at the load of taxation which they are now compelled to carry. - Vice-Preside- Vice-Preside- nt; LIONS STRIKE KEYNOTE OF HARMONY FOR CEMENTING COMMUNITY SPIRIT 0 1 1 AND GOOD FELLOWSHIP. Lionism came to its own Wednesday night in the regular luncheon of the Tremonton club. After the calling of the roll and the reading of the minutes and a selection by the Tremonton Male Qaurtette, accompanied by Aileen Calderwood, which furnished some very fine music during the evening,' Lion President H. T. Woodward, took the floor to present to the club a detailed report of the recent international Lion convention held at Denver.

This great international club organized, unlike commercial clubs whose main purpose is for commercial beneft, for the purpose of service to bring together all men, if possible, in one great band of fellowship. The four salient points in his im pressive address were: The magni' tude of Lionism, the theme song of the convention, the test of a true Lion and the assignment of Lions International to the Tremonton Club. The first was treated in his in troductory remarks. The second was answered in one word and elaborated upon by the speaker. "Service," he said, "Is the test of a true Lion, and he who is not willing to give it is not in the proper atmosphere in a Lions Club and would feel better, on the out side." There are Lions with a Lion soul, big and strong and ready to render service. There are a few mosquito Lions, as the speaker termed them, too small in their make-u- p to render service. Such a one must of necessity grow to the full stature of a Lion or will eventually drop out, not being able to render the service required of sub-top- ic a true Lion. - The last was pointedly treated and referred to the lack of proper understanding and good fellowship with our sister city club on the North. He called upon every Lion to be true to his code of ethics and gave each a personal assignment to see that the proper understanding and good fellowship existed. There should be no North and no South, no twin cities but a twin cty in the bonds of unity and purpose and closed his remarkg by recommending a motion that the spirit of this meeting be carried out actively in inter-clu- b meetings and inter-clu- b committee meetings until a proper understanding and was had. Before the speaker could take his seat several men were on their feet to move the adoption of the recommendations, having caught the spirit of the meeting spontaneously and with sincerity of spirit sought to put the same into effect. Aftr several had talked to the motion it was adopted unanimously amid a thunderous roar of approval. sub-top- ic MEAN CROOKS USE RED CROSS FORSWINDLING e ject . .. Drive to farm of Clifford Jenson.

A pair of mean crooks, a man and a woman, operating in this vicinity last week, circulated among several Japanese ranchers, and under the represen-tatio- n that they were agents of the Red Cross, collected small sums of money from four Japanese ranchers, which they represented to be payment for a lied Cross membership, j The ranchers from whom they obtained the , money were:?

According to the reports made by the victims, there was nothing par- - i ticularly prepossessing in the appear- - ance of either of the fakirs.' One, the ? g man ,was and the wo-man, according to the description, which went forward to the Red Cross headquarters in Washington ,D. . C, . was "tall, slim and not pretty. ; H. E.

He told them his people were always ready to aid a worthy cause and he readily gave them the money. Comparing his re-ceipt, however, with one given to his he discovered that his receipt brother, read: " "Received $3.00 one year signed A, R.

Do they send her out?"; His letter brought a quick response, resulting in the matter being referred toRussell White, of Brigham City, whe is the head of the Box Elder chapter of the Red Cross.

HAND OF DEATH ENDS CAREER OF M.E.ANDRUS Useful Life Brought to Close by Stroke of Paralysis. After a life of sacrifice to civic, social and church interests, Marlow Edwin Andrus, one of Garland's most esteemed and useful citizens, 54 years of age, at 2:30 Tuesday morning succumbed to an attack of paralysis. This was the second stroke within a year, the last which caused his death, coming a week ago, following a period of ill health. V The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon in the stake tabernacle at Garland. The deceased is survived by his wife and one son, Dean, and a brother, Frank, a resident of Draper, where the deceased was born in December, 1876. He was the son of Marlow and Leah Terry Andrus. of Draper, and in June, 1903, was maried to Mary Wride. His family have been residents of Garland since 1913. To few men, is it given to hew out such a career of unselfish usefulness to his fellowmen as that of the deceased. Always interested in public affairs, he was ever to be found in the van, when a community service was in tho making. For many years he was in the bookkeeping department of the irrigation o system of the Sugar company, and is credited with having brought the system of checking the distribution of water to the users, to the point of perfect service, a difficult task, when the number of users, the. different hours for serving and the amount of water to be delivered to each is taken into consideration. "Mr. Andrus was especially interested in church work and for ten years was Sunday School superintendent of Bear River Stake. Before coming to Garland, he had always been one of Draper's most active citizens in civic, social and church affairs. He was the organizer of the first dramatic club of the University of Utah, and to the day of his death was keenly interested in that phase of social life, accomp-lisin- g a great deal in that line during his residence in Garland. No demand in the way of service for the community or church ever met with anything but d a response from him. His passing leaves a void in the civic, social and church life of Garland, which it will be difficult to fill. It can be truly said of Marlow Edwin Andrus, that the world is the better for his having lived in it. , ,.. Utah-Idah- o Sugar Co.

Lemond was fined $15 or fifteen days by Justice Hanse. , CITY TAX RATE REMAINS SAME AS LAST YEAR At the meeting of the city council Monday night, the tax rate for 1930 was fixed as follows: Contingent fund 5 2 mills; Interest and Sinking Fund, 12 2 mills; Streets and Sidewalks, 3 mills; Library 1 mill. This makes a total of 22 mills, the same as last year. It has been hoped that the tax rate would be reduced this year, and unquestionably it would have been, if the it were not for the slump in assessed valuation. Last year the assessed valuation of taxable Tremonton property was $618,000, while the 1930 assessment roll shows only $576,942. There is nothing particularly alarming in the drop in valuation. It is a condition which has its counterpart in every city in the state. Lewis Jones and Dan Peterson waited on the council and asked for the in Brigham City's city's Peach Day celebration. These gentlemen were given the assurance that the city would give the county seat celebration wholehearted support. Watermaster T. P. Meister made a report on the water situation, in which he showed that measurements - had been taken and the supply checked five times a month; that it was holding its flow, showed no decrease and that the supply was ample for all purposes, provided there was no excessive waste.
