A cloud of sorrow decerd ed upon the city of Salina Thursify evening when the news was circulated that George Burns, who for a quarter of a century has been a useful and respected citizen in the community, had passed away at his home on Main street. Death occurred at six oclock last night, following a brief ill- ness. The funeral will be held tomorrow Saturday at 2 oclock at the old familiar shop according to the wish of the deceased. Interment will be made in the East Cemetery. SHOULD FIRST COUSINS MARRY? If a family strain is known to be healthy and free from insanity and other mental and nervous defects, there is no evidence that it is dangerous to permit the intermarriage of first cousins, was the somewhat surprising statement of Dr. Charles W. Rees, Professor of Zoology at the Utah Agricultural College, in a recent interview with the college class in journalism. he continued, Of course, if there is known to be a weakness in the family strain, such a marriage would be dangerous, because the children would be in danger of inheriting the defect in double measure, even though the parents might seem perfectly normal. Professor Rees urges that the fundamental findings of the science of eugenics, even though the subject is still in its infancy, should be taught to all parents and future parents. He believes that carelessness in human matings causes a great deal of needless suffering, and that if humanity were fully awake to the situation, substantial racial improvement might result. While eugenics is properly a college subject, he believes that many of its most important findings can easily be made the common property of all intelligent readers. Three books are recommended as being especially valuable for the lay reader: Eugenics, by The Next Popenoe and Johnson, The Generation, by Jewett, and Goddard. Kallikaks, by The educational importance of the To science was also emphasized. my mind, he declared, Eugenics is of equal importance with psychology as an aid to the teacher in understanding the school child.

Of this sum, $20 was contributed by the high school and $17 by the grade children. The next high contributor was the Woodmen lodge, which turned in $15 to the fund. The balance was made up by other organization, and contributions solicited on Main street. The schools did so well that in all probability they will have the services of a dental clinic in the spring. The chairman of the committee, Mrs. C. E .West is taking the matter up with the proper authorities and will be able to report shortly. This is an important matter and if such a clinic can be secured for Salina it will mean a great deal in the bettering of the health of the community, anl direct results will have been obtained through the efforts put forth to raise a good sum for the cause of the public health. The chairman wishes to thank all members of the committee for their assistance and the committee as a wohle would like to express their gratitude to the general public for contributing thus generously to the fund.

The meeting opens at 8 oclock. Boxing Contest Popular boxing contest , staged last Thursday night in the Opera House drew a large crowd and furnished some good amusement. The boxers were all careful of each other, but nevertheless some good work was shown and the crowd felt they had received their moneys worth. The only knockout was pulled off in the first exhibition, when Maurice Dom gaard and Bardell Dastrup mixed it, the latter proving a wicked little fighter, knocking out his opponent. In the headliner, there was no knockout, but Leon llamp scored over his opponent, the Carbon county champi The on. rolls disappeared and several loaves of bread were purchased and used. The beef was used to the last bit available and such beef. Hereafter if you want a really perfect beef sandwich you will have to call in Jesse Bean of Richfield, invite the neighbors and stage a barbecue. Many who were unfamiliar with the genius of Mr. Bean were somewhat sceptical, but as soon as those persons set their teeth into the great slices of tender meat that were served, all doubts vanished and everybody barbecue beef could agred that not be improved upon. The cook stated that he had never handled finer beef. The two beeves used were donated by Messrs Oscar Mattsson and J. A. Scorup and they certainly sent the pick of the herd, Overson and G. E. Long. Coffee was served in the middle of the street by Mrs. J. O. Anderson and Mrs. Harry McKenna, assisted by members of the Royal Neighbors and LProgresso organizations. The ladies and gentlemen deserve unstinted praise both for their skill and promptness and also for their bravery in remaining at their posts when the cold began to pierce through, for it was a cold night even though it was so clear and beautiful. The bonfires at the intersection of the streets and just east of the place of serving were a great help to the crowd in keeping warm, but they only tantalized those who had to stay in one place and serve. They admitted that they got cold, but all seemed so pleased with the fine way in which everything turned out that they did not mind the inconvenience. Mr. Bean made the remark that never had he had such able and willing assistance a3 here. Everything he needed was right at hand or was procured at once, greatly facilitating the task of preparing the two big carcasses for roasting. All day Saturday men and teams were at work for they were very fat and the two excavating the pit and early Sunday together dressed almost 1200 pounds. morning the fires were started.
