They camped Saturday pight at the Bean cabin and on Sunday went by ski to the top of the divide and down the other side through Santaquin canyon. They 25 miles covered approximately and report it a most remark- able and enjoyable trip in every way. It was not extremely cold, in fact very moderate and the scenery was the most inspiring that one could imagine. Their only regret was that others were not with them to enjoy the gTandeur of the trip. The Payson high school started a campaign this week for the collection of books and good magazines for the school library. From the time that the library has been in operation, there has been a gradual loss of books. Most of these have been taken home by students and they have unintentionally neglected to return them. The drive started this week Is to collect these books and any other useful books that parents may wish to donate to the school library. Representations will call at every home In the school area during the next two or three weeks. Of interest was the report of the snow impounded in the canyons. Their measurement at the sawmill was 42 inches and at the ranger station it was 61 inches. Traveling west of the Jones ranch they attempted a measurement on the north slope with a 6 $4 foot ski, and were unable to touch ground. On the Santaquin side it was four feet at the sawmill. The snow ia well drifted and packed i solid.

Knox served with the artillery brigade of the 78th Division, lie enlisted as a private In the New Hampshire militia, was transferred to an officer's training camp, having seen service in Cuba, and finally became captain and then major of artillery. When the war ended he was promoted to Lieutenant-Colone- l and Is known to his old buddies as Col. Knox. Ills division served In the St. Mlhlel sector early In September, 1918. Two weeks later found It In the battle e of the with Sedan as the objective. When It came Knox's turn to tell his story, he recalled that any soldier quickly learns to know by the whirr of a shell or the sing of a bullet whether it has his name on It," as the soldiers say. In his tent at Apremont late one night Knox his heard a big Bertha" with name on It." Almost Instantly his little tent was deluged with rocks, dirt and debris which nearly tore It from Its fastenings hut nothing else happened. The next morning Major Knox was Invited by Ills orderly to look outside his tent. A few feet In front of the entrance was the big shell nearly buried In the ground. It had failed to explode. Knoxs narrowest escape, however, was In the Spanlsh-Americawar. Volunteering in Michigan at the age of 24, he reached Tampa without being sworn In or assigned to duty with any organization. At Tampa he was Introduced to Thewho odore Roosevelt promptly swore him In personally as a member of the Rough Riders. Knox participated In nil the engagements of that regiment tip to and Including the battle of San Juan hill. In this battle the Rough Riders would charge and lie down and then charge again. The Intervals between two of these charges was a little too long for the Impetuous Knox, who was tired of lying out In the hot sun. He raised up to sight the enemy and promptly got a bullet through his campaign hat which took a lock of his Scotch gold-rehair along with It. At the end of the battle Knox was detailed to carry dispatches of the victory to the rear. Enronte he was overcome by the heat, developed some tropical ailments and was Invalided home Just before the final surrender of all Cuba. Mrs. Knox retains the campnlgn hat among her prized possessions. In the last war Col. Knox had another surprise which nearly cost him his hearing. Leading up an ammunition train to the support of the guns, he emerged Into a field of barbed wire. Just as he rose In his stirrups to locate the guns, a camouflaged and battery gave the Germans a blast from a brush-heaonly a few yards away. Knox was partially stunned, his horse made frantic and for several minutes he had his hands full keeping the horse and himself out of the barbed wire. When he did dismount. he was stone deaf and remained so for several weeks. In time, however, he regained his hearing almost entirely. After the armistice Knox came home and was chairman of the committee on resolutions at the meeting at St. Louis which resulted in the organization of the American Legion. Knox Is neither a Jingo nor a militarist. He believes his country shonld he In shape to defend Itself against all comers at anytime. He has volunteered In ev. ery war of his country In his lifetime, but he rarely ever talks about them. On June 15, the United States to Treasury can be called upon in cash. out $2,500,000,000 pay reThis is the amount of money bonds quired to redeem the baby ordered paid to veterans by Congress, over President Roosevelts brief, aggressive veto message. How many veterans will actually take the cash, and forego the 3 per cent compound interest they 'will be paid if they hold their bonds until 1945, is a burning question. A still more burning question is, Where will the money come from ? Congress passed the bonus but left it up to the executive branch to find the wherewithal. The President does not want to issue printing press money. Nor does he want to pay off the bonus by issuing another bond issue. Many think that he will ask Congress to create new taxes' to bear the cost. In an election year, new taxes strike fear into the hearts of all officials running for reelection. Some fireworks are to be expected.
