MailiP of Gifts Daniel Hurlbut, of Rusk, Texas, waa injured Wednesday morning when he alighted from a U.

Canal Claims Life Of 3 Year Old Boy The bruised body of three year Ralph Unsworth was found Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock in the canal near the Conner Springs Browning ranch " southwest of Thatcher. He had been missed about 11 o'clock in the morning, but little concern was felt for his safety, as it was supposed he was playing about in the yards and might have gone to sleep. James Uusworth, the father, called the Sheriff's office at Brigham and they notified the Tremonton Fire Department who responded with the resuscitator, in case the boy was found in the canal. Lynn Thomas, Ed Frank and Bill Waldron, of the Fire Department and Mack MacAshley, one of the employees of the ranch finally got into the stream and waded down it nearly a mile before they ran onto the body of the little old David boy. The body was taken to the Thompson Funeral Home at Hy- rum. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Ration Board Office Moved $ The office of the Tremonton Ration Board was moved this week from the City Drug Store to the Wayne Sandall building, where Mrs. Nola Thompson, secretary to the board, will be on duty from 3 to 6 each day to handle business matters of the board. All inquiries and other business matters of the board will be handled from this new location in the future.

Rodeo Receipts Exceed Expectations s- - The sponsors of the Rodeo held in Tremonton recently are exceptionally pleased with the receipts of the show, claiming that the total take at the gates was larger than any other such show given in town. The federal tax paid to the U. S. Government for the amusement assessment amounted to $639.73. one-thi- forwarding of the mail and consumes additional time; the necessity for. giving preference to remunitions, arms, inforcements, medicine and food in allotment of shipping space, which often means that the shipments of gifts must wait. And it is most urgent that gifts be delivered o he men IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, to keep their spirit high. The only way to insure against disappointment for the fighting men is to buy at once and mail arly mail your gifts as soon as possible after the September 15 starting date. Those who have relatives or friends in the service should remember that we have fighting men in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland. England, Sicily, regions of Africa, the Near Eastern countries, Australia, many of the South Pacific islands, India, China, South America, and other areas. Weeks are required for a ship to reach many of these stations. far-sprea- d Selling war bonds should be a simple matter, in the opinion of Chaplain Marks, of BushneU Hospital If the civilians of this nation could only see and realize the manner in which men in the armed services are willing to sacrifice their lives in defense of home and loved ones, and particularly so, if they should happen to be placed In the war zone of the South Pacific and see the conditions under which the soldiers and marines fought the first battles of Guadalcanal. Chaplain Marks, in addressing members of the Lions Club at their regular meeting Wednesday evening, related his experiences durdays on Guadaling twenty-nin- e canal, and some nine months in the Pacific battle zone. He told of the fist landing made by the Army after the Marines had taken over the island, how they were exposed to bombing and straffing raids, and the fire from enemy ships, while the men were helpless because of lack of proper equipment to back up their first landing offense. "If we could just change places for a while," the Chaplain remarked, "we wouldn't have to have war bond drives. Every citizen would be willing to forego some of his pleasures in order to buy bonds; to finance the government program of equiping every soldier, sailor, marine, and airman with the best fighting weapons available." Mr. Marks further cautioned against the growing thought that the war would soon be over. "It's going to take a long time," he said. Dr. George W. Cooke was also present and entertained the club with vocal numbers, accompanying himself at the piano. Other guests were Jesse L. Roberts and Rev. Reginald Goff. The program was under the direction of the War Effort Committee with Wilford Rogers, chair-mar- t. Old Folks Entertained At Bear River City now being offered. When interviewed about the policy of the new company, Mr. Merrill "Bud" Peterson, the proprietor, indicated that during these times in particular the matter of service on both farm implements and tractors would be stressed particularly. He indicated that a complete stock of parts on both the John Deere and Caterpillar lines would be carried in Tremonton in so far as war conditions would permit. With the promises already announced throughout the press of the country for an increased allotment of machinery ' to farmers, Mr. Peterson expects that many more new machines will be available this next year. t Having had better than 15 years experience around Logan and Cache County serving farmers on machinery and tractor repairs in a manner which has built a sizeable business in that territory, Mr. Peterson should be qualified to service these two highly important lines in Box Elder County. Mr. Albert Earl, who has managed the C. W. &. M. store for the past several years, will continue with the Peterson organization and serve the community in the same happy, efifcient spirit. While we regret that an old business friend of many years standing, like the "Con" Wagon and Machine Company,, is leaving, we will wish the newcomers every success in their venture. & M. I. A. TO GIVE PROGRAM The Sunday evening sacred service in the First Ward will be under the direction of the M. I. A, who have arranged a program on the philosophies of President Grant, which center around the new theme of the organization. e INSPECT ON'IOX SEED Kenneth Christensen, manager of the Northrup King Seed Co., of Salt Lake, and Alan Scott, representative of the company from Boise, Idaho, were in Tremonton Sunday to look over the field of onion seed now being harvested east of town. to Soldiers Overseas Must lie Completed By Oil Mailing of gifts for Army and beNavy Personnel overseas must of if 15, many gin by September the men and women in our armed services are not to be disappointed; and September 15 is only two weeks away, announces Postmaster James Walton, Christmas gifts may be mailed by parcel post to Army men and women overseas only between September 15 and October 15. After the latter date, such parcels may not be mailed unless a written request from the soldier for the article is presented with each parcel. No soldier should have to ASK for a Christmas gift; so gifts must be mailed on Ume. The Navy also urges that gifts be mailed between Soptember 15 and October 15. Reasons for the early mailing dates are: The vast distances that the parcels must travel to reach our men at war fronts and stations the world over; frequent transfers of thousands of men from one location to another, which means rd alcanal Experiences After serving Tremonton and the northern half of Box Elder county for 40 years, the Consolidated Wagon & Machine Company this week closed their doors and have sold their stock to Peterson Tractor Service. This is in Una with the recent decision to liquidate their company which has meant closing of their branches all over the Intermountain territory. Announcement of the closing of the deal was made by a representative of the Peterson firm Thursday afternoon. The complete stock of merchandise as well as the store space has been taken over by the new dealer who will continue complete sales and service on the John Deere line handled by the C. W. & M. Co. and will also service all of this county on the Caterpillar Tractor. Since there has been no official Caterpillar dealer in this territory for some time, many farmers will welcome local service li There can be no assurance, of course, that the first ship sailing for any of these locations will have space available to carry Chilst-ma- s parcels. Gifts may have to wait until vitally needed supplies and equipment have been shipped, to assure victory and to save the lives of our men. If the parcels are not mailed early, that delay may prove to be just enough to prevent their arrival by Christmas day, with consequent disappointment to the men who are offering their lives for their country and ours. Mail of all kinds is vital to the spirit of fighting men. Every officer who has inspected our Army and Navy postal facilities over-sehas reported that thousands of fighting men disregard mess call when it conflicts with mail call, and get their letters first. Officers at our large military and naval stations report that the spirit and efficiency of their men receive a (Continued On Page Two) al Friday, August 27th the Old Folks committee of Bear River City and Evans, entertained the old folks at the Bear River City Park.
