TJ ar our-Stat- e Job Ephraim White, prominent Box Elder county citizen, was notified Saturday that he had been appointed investigator in charge of the prohibition unit of the U. S. bureau of investigation for Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Nevada, with headquarters in Salt Lake City. All federal prohibition offices in Colorado, Wyoming and Nevada have been closed, he said, and furniture and fixtures from these offices are being brought to Salt Lake City where have been established in the federal building. Mr. White said he was not prepared to say how many investigators he will have in his unit, but he expected to have definite information on the subject within a very few days. The matter of prohibition department appointments has been an uncertain affair since last March. First German E. Ellsworth replaced W. W. McBride, who had served for many years as Utah prohibition administrator. v Then, on July 14, Ephraim White ivaa named acting Utah prohibition administrator, replacing Mr. Ellsworth On August 9, the prolabition department was abolished and ten days later James L. White, who had been an investigator in Denver, was placed in charge of the prohibition unit of the department of investigation for the four states, with headquarters in Salt Lake City. Ephraim White was appointed a senior investigator under James L. White. This situation continued until Saturday when Ephraim White was appointed to take charge of the prohibition unit and James L. White was named as his assistant. head-niarte- Horse Malady Takes Large Toll in Valley rs The horse malady commonly known as brain disease is taking a large toll of the horses in the valley according to reports from those in touch with the situation. As high as fifteen horses have been hauled out of the vallay in a single day., Many degrees of intensity of the disease seems to prevail; some horses having it light and some extremely vicious and some in between these two. All known remedies have been used, many of which help in one case but fail in another with the result that the loss has been terrific. It is hoped that the past week of cool weather will have a quietening effect upon the spread of the disease but up to the present time it seems unabated and in some instances almost wiping out the entire horse population of some of the farmers. Consumers to Get Retail Cost Figures Consumers of farm products are to furnished, in the near future, with weekly reports from the government on the reasons for any commodity price increases, and with information on who is getting the additional money. Field workers of the United States Department of Labor and the United States Department of Agriculture are to gather and report price figures, while the Washington agencies tabulate and analyze them, according to information received by Director William Peterson from Dr. Fredric C. Howe, consumers' counsel for the agricultural administration. Doctor Howe intends to release the information on prices through the press, radio, and special reports to groups and individube Application for Federal Funds Approved by Co.

The field staffs of the two departments will gather retail prices on bread, milk, meat, and other foods, in 50 cities and from more than 1,000 stores. In the department offices at Washington the prices will be checked and the portion that the farmer is receiving for raw materials will be de- termined. The reports will also cover any price increases resulting from the payment of higher wages and new employment, an,fii include any changes in prices of manufactured or other commodities that farmers buy. The latter item will provide an index of the buying power of the farmer. "Farmers have too long been getting a small return for their labor in feeding us," Doctor Howe declared.

A great deal of interest has been created in this unique prize which will go to someone who has traded in Tremonton during the past week. This issue of the Leader is filled with advertisements of the merchants, setting forth many wonderful values in all kinds of merchandise needed in the home in preparation for school days or on the farm or the shop. It will pay you to read them carefully and lay in a supply. In addition to buying this merchandise of quality at rare values, you may be the proud possessor of this wonderful cow. Every day we hear of Soaring prices on all classes of merchandise. Whether this is in keeping with the spirit of the NRA or in keeping with our liking, it is nevertheless a fact and when the present stock of merchandise in the stores of this city are exhausted it will be utterly impossible to replace them for the prices that you can buy them at retail now. This is fair treatment and just to the patrons of the merchants and business houses in general of this community, who offer for your approval values in merchandise at a price as low as it is possible for this class of merchandise to be sold. Trade at home. Build your own community and keep your money circulating where you will have an opportunity to get hold of it again. This is a wise and prudent policy. Who will get the cow? It may be you! Ask for your tickets. Department Supervisors Make Optimistic Reports On Progress of Fair; President Fishburn Pleased .

Fishing on Jenney's lake was not so hot for the boys as it appears that the bate they offered the fish was not very alluring. The company went in at the west entrance and out of the south. On their way home they stopped at Jackson Hole and joined with the L. D. S. in holding the first religious service held in that place. This community received with sadness, the news of the accidental death of Alvin E. Jordan, former business man of Howell, and also a member of the bishopric of that ward for a number of years. According to reports, Mr. Jordan was trucking in the southern part of the state and while near Cedar City, f crossing the Virgin river, his brakes ve way and his truck struck a ce dent abutment, throwing him twenty feet from his car crushing his side and causing internal injuries which resulted in his death.

According to Dr. White, the attending physician, Mr. Ashby has passed the acute stage and is expected to recover. According to advise from physicians, the disease is not contagious and there is no cause for any great alarm. People generally are familiar with the serious outbreak of this malady in St. Louis at the present time but in other parts of the country there is only an occasional case. NUMBER FIFTY HYDE PARK, N.

Baseball is being talked on every corner and one is reminded of the old days of the northern Utah league and right now it is freely predicted that out of this tournament on Peach Days new interest will be revived in the national sport, out of which may come a high class county league with several entries such as is had in Salt Lake county and other counties south. Preparations for this great fruit festival have gone forward with clocklike precision and the quarter of a century's experience behind the staging of these big celebrations is ample assurance that it will be an unqualified success. The usual parade and fruit feasting with all kinds of carnival attractions will again be features of the two days festivities. A large assortment of fruit, irrespective of the fact that many of the peaches will have to be imported, will be on display as usual. In addition to the fruit display, a flower show, which is expected to surpass anything yet displayed, will be one of the outstanding features of the exhibits. Many notables from over the state will be in attendance to lend color and dignity to the occasion. District Board of NRA For County Appointed Completing the NRA organization in Box Elder county, Governor Henry H. Blood, in the name of the state and in behalf of the national government, Tuesday announced the appointment of Lewis Jones, A. E. Holmgren and Geo. Anderson as constituting the District Board of Box Elder county. The functions of this board, which is especially provided under the National and State Recovery acts, is to coordinate and supervise all NRA activities within the county. Said board will also be a medium wherein information concerning the actions of the state and national boards will be furnished. It is understood that this group will meet shortly to organize and commence coordinating recovery activities within the county. Under the set up, the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce has been requested to act as the secretary and administrator officer for the board. The first information received' from the state headquarters, other than the formal notice, is that the public hearing on the butter manufacturing code would be heard August 30 at the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce at 10 a. m., the storage garege code at 10 a. m. August 31, and the retail coal merchants at 2 p. m. August 31. Mrs. T. A. Supan to Make Home in Idaho Mrs. T. Ai Supan and family left Tuesday for Richfield, Idaho, where they will make their future home. During the time that the Supans have lived in this community they have made a host of friends.

In an informal discussion which followed the decision, this action was hailed as a momentous decision and one that would place the fair in a position to expand greatly. It was felt that during the past several yeara that some high grade livestock had been produced in this county and that the farmers with their crops were an equal to any county and would wel come outside competition and comparison, which would mean rapid development. : The meeting, which was called for the purpose of hearing the reports of the supervisors, produced greater results that any which has ever been, held, it was felt. Spontaneous for the enlargement and betterment of the fair come from every quarter of the room and the fact that they were adopted without a descending vote in nearly every instance, was sufficient evidence that they had been, given serious consideration by those who sponsored them with only one view in mind that to better the fair. It was a meeting in which the rodeo had very little consideration and only the enlargement and development of the fair proper received much attention. The rodeo, however, will be up to its usual standard. In fact, it is expected to be the best one yet held, for several reasons. Many new riders-annew horses will be seen in action, contracts having already been signed. Every department reported progress in the way of exhibits and many new angles and displays will be seen in the fair this year that have never yet appeared in any previous fair. One of the new features to appear in next year's fair that was discussed was the feeding of cattle and preparing them for the market and displaying them at the fair, then holding a big auction at which the large buyers of the state have agreed to participate and purchase the cattle olfered for sale. It was deemed too late to put this feature in vogue this year put it will be stressed for the coming year. In reporting the horse pulling contest feature, Mr. Brough said that he expected not less than 20 teams to enter from the county. It was decided that the winning teams of the county contest would be matched with. Cache county teams for special prizes. This feature is expected to draw huge crowds as there is some keen rivalry between the two counties in the horse pulling. It is expected that Cache county will have many entries of competition in the other departments of tne fair. Another feature, to create interest in blooded horses, was proposed for another year by Wayne Mason and Gene Leavitt, horse dealers, who said that club if the Future Farmers or boys would take an interest in the breeding of fine horses and make a proper display of them that the winning horse would be matched as near as possible by them and given to the one exhibiting the winning horse as a prize. President Fishburn, at the conclusion of the meeting, expressed his appreciation for the splendid interest shown by the large number of supervisors present and for the suggestions that had been offered for the betterment of the fair. Mil Fishburn predicted that this would be one of the best fairs with the largest displays that has yet been held. sugj-gestio- - ns f ; 4-- H Burbank Reunion Held At Crystal Springs Friday of last week the descendants of Daniel Mark Burbank met at the Crystal Springs at Honeyville for the several families in the afternoon.
