Christensen entertained at a well appointed dinner at their home Sunday afternoon, in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. George Cullimore, who. leave Orem soon for Bingham, where they plan to make their home for the present. A large crystal bowl of gladioli marked the table centerpiece. Covers for the following were laid: Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Cunningham, Mr. and Mrs. George Cullimore, Mrs. L. M.

Following dinner, the afternoon was pleasantly spent with music and social Inc. 16th to 8th September September Not With the sliding along of the warm days of summer no better barometer is needed to tell us hat winter is coming than the new price set on coal.. This price is placed at $10 per ton retail a rate of from 230 per cent to 250 per cent in advance of pre-wprices. If there is any logical reason why the mine operators should e continue the prices on this indispensable commodity they have failed, as they generally do, to make their reason known. Operators., and miners alike throughout the nation whiled and finally they got away their time from April till old now must be thankterms. consumer The the together upon ful for the opportunity to be robbed. Decidedly there is something wrong with the fuel problem in America. Consumers will not forever submit to paying artificial prices for a commodity existing in inexhaustible quantities and pretty well distributed over the nation. The miners, and operators who expect to settle their differences continuously upon the theory that the consumer can be skinned for his hide and tallow have taxed the patience of the pub- chat. lic to the point at which there is an increasing disposition to find Miss Mamie Beesley, who has been out what is wrong with coal mining. in this city for the past two visiting Nothing would be more conducive to restoration of normal months with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O.

And it is one reason why you tjvill see such a big. difference,' once you put in your Hoosier Special , Have you noticed the latest quotations on husbands? In the California market the bidding is rather high. Mrs. Edith Spreckles Wakefield is reported to have offered Mrs. Nellie Kendricks $100 a month for the rest of her life, if Mrs. Kendricks would sell her husband to Mrs. Wakefield. Mrs. Wakefield has one husband now, but she proposed to get rid of him if she could buy a later model. Whether or not she intended to turn the old model in as part payment for the newer one is not clear. I wonder if we really are coming to the place where we will be reading in our papers such advertisements as these: A new lot of assorted husHusbands bought and sold. bands will be placed on sale Monday.

Lots of husbands, like lots of automobiles, look very fine, but they dont stand up under wear. When youve got a husband who has rendered fairly satisfactory service on the matrimonial road, better hang on to him.

Only 48,000 of our boys went west in the big conflict, while in the last year and a half 91,000 Americans died as a result of motor car accidents. The startling feature of these figures lies in a knowledge that the war is ended, while the motor car is with us to stay and to increase in use. Despite the heavy toll it takes in human life nothing is going to stop its progress. Consideration of the situation brings its importance home to ' the country even more than to the city because nearly 70 per cent of the automobiles manufactured in America are sold and used in towns of five thousand population and under and on the farms. This means that preventable deaths in the country as a result of automobile activities is proportionately great, a situation so serious that it cries aloud that something be done to halt this yearly national disaster. One of the great sources of automobile accidents is the grade crossing, a problem in every small community. In many states the law prescribes that when grade crossings . are eliminated the villages through which they pass must stand a good proportion of the expense. This is a heavy burden on the taxpayers. On the other hand to order the railroads generally to eliminate' crossings at grade, either by an elevation or by submerging of. tracks would appear to be an unjust demand. This matter, of grade crossings is more than local. Indeed it is 0 national in character it might be well for Washington to assist more materially than it does in checking the countrys most notorious death traps. - , AN UPWARD TREND the tracting the fangs, as a number of be engaged as a teacher in the art bites is quite rare, according be- department of the Milford high school United States biological survey, are ready to take the - auxiliarv f encouncause few persons relatively during the ensuing school year. f the functional pair within a ter or are bitten by the dangerous Pace of weeks. venomous most native couple Mrs. Byron W.
