Pautsch, first class private with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, and was addressed to his mother: "It has been just one week since I wrote you and received two letters from you, today. (Deleted by Censor.) We all had a very good time ana a nice dinner and a holiday. The French people all celebrated witi" us. They had a holiday the 14th of July, so all of us Americans celeb, ated with them. "We had a little rain on the Fourth and i guess you had the same. The weather has been very much unssttled the last week and very cold at night. All the Doys from the camp where we were In the states, are over here now. Have not seen them yet, but hope to Boon. The division that Ray-mond Crom was with. They made a wonderful showing for themselves. "We have got the Huns on. the run n'-- T and we are going to keep them on tfe rtn. They are beaten right, now but you know how hard headed a Geriffn is. They have to bo shown before tvv are convinced of the fact, i The French peorle say that they are not getting enough to eat because the Americans ao taking tjo many pris-oners. I have seen a number of them. Most of them are young fel-lows from 16 to 20 years old. "I had some pictures tun and I, guess you will receive them before you do this letter, i I would like to have, some pictures of you all. Fave some made and send them to me. I am in good health now and have tak-en on quite a little weight. Was on the scales yesterday and weighed )S7 pounds and still putting on more. "Well, mother dear, will close for this time, hoping you all feel aj well' as I do. Give my best to dad and Harry. Your son, PERCY." j The next letter Is from J. D. Dim-lsc-one of the ten Serbians ot. Phoenix who volunteered last March, and left In a body for the battlefront The letter was written to A, C. Cole and is as follows: : "I am writing you a few fine to let you know that I have arrived safely pverseas and-a- well and hap--i py In. theSerblaa armyt They' treat ' us fine over here, and thert could not be found ten better Boldiers than our bunch.- - We are always together. I am glad I am over here. Everything Is fine and good. - r "When we 'left Bingham we went to Canada where we spent several weeks and were treated fine.' From there we went to France.. We stayed in France for some time and then came to Africa. Tell our friends in Bing-ham that we are all getting along! fine. v . "When you get this letter 'please write to me and give me all the news from Bingham and tell me what i going on there." Another letter is from John Dean, son of VMr. and Mrs. J. T. Dean, who has ben in France for some time and is now on the firing line. His letter is dated, "Somewhere on the Front," and he gives a good account of what is going on in his sector: . "Am informing you that I am on the front and have seen action. We are in hearing distance of the guns. I have seen nearly everything that you, have heard and read about, and possibly a little more. You can prob-ably give .one guess where I am fight-ing at. That is what sector we are in. Clarence Grant, Edgar Hocken and Charles Clays' regiments are all in or about the same sector, but have been unable to see them yet. I will try and look them up at the first opportunity. They have all been in the thick of the fight and am quit, sure they gave a good account ot themselves. "This war game Is very exciting business. We have to use our ga; masks considerably. To get a toucl. of gas Isn't very nice. We do most of our traveling by night, and afte? one goes to sleep from, 24 to, 3t hours at a stretch. It fatigues one sc much whn he doesn't get his proper rest. The way the Indians lived Ion? ago is the mode of living we aro do-ing now, digging dug outs, etc. "I have passed through several vil lages and cities and it is an awful sight to see. Where once was beau tiful homes now nothing but ruins. The way the shells tore the building down is candalous. The damnable Hun will pay dear for it before It it over. Everything ypu have rea about it is true. The dirtier they can do things the better they like it. W will give them a dose of their owr. medicine soon. "Car. you imagine me going fron- - three to five days without washing' Weil that is what we have, to do at times. I lost all of my toilet article' from my pack the first n!ght out am1 it makes it very inconvenient for on especially when he has to mooch it from the fellows. I was verv wcl supplied until I lost it. Things IU that are very hard to obtain "ove ihere. u can get along all right witlh out it, but it made me sore to lose 't "I received your letter dated July 22. I think that is pretty good ma'i service, a little leas than a month tc get here. I Just had to pause for a moment here on account of an aarc plane fight between an allied mach ine and an old Boche. It sure is torn" excitement here. There are a good many aeroplanes flying over us near ly all the time. It would seem to see a good good' many of . our own avi-ators, and believe me, they have some first class motor in their planes. The more there p.re the bet-ter, for an enemy scout can do a lot of damage. , "As I have said before, you can say or tell for me that there was a num ber of the home town boys in the : fight atd they are living up to be tgood name of the community, and are ; more than doing their bifevi am verj grateful that I enlisted when J d!d. It was a hard time to go through--th- e strenuous days of drilling, but I am much better prepared to meet the situation. Although It is a very hard ' life up here I am very glad to be in e good regiment like this. We have some very capable officers and trust a whole lot to them. I expect some great things from this company The majority of us are all volunteers anr TWO . .iLETTFIRIS FROM , . we are in it to do our very best, tr the man. I don't suppose that therr are many young fellows left there fo they are nearly all in this secto" where I am. "I sure would like to have some of the fruit that Mae tells me about. I am afraid I am tio far away to hav any sent. I haven't had any fruit or candy for so long I have ' how it tastes forgotten or looks. It is ver hard to get anything of that kind here. This is one place where you cannot spend your money, and mv only habit is for candy and kniclr knacks, but the boys Beem to get their tobacco regularly. The Red Cross and the Knight. of Columbus are doing good work. Everything ther , have they give gratis, but I have been ; unable to gtt anything from tl.em i "Give yny bent regards to all and tell them I am in the thick of it. and am getting used to the shells explod ing around me." 1W BOY SCHOOL fiUILDIUi COMPLETEB School Will Open Monday At Highland Boy In New Building One Of The Best Buildings In The District And Modern In , Every Respect Board Of Education Has Received It The People Are Well Pleased ' t v Tlie Board of Education was here ' Wednesday to inspect and receive the ' new school building at Highland Boy.

' , The board members had hoped to have f the building completed much j earlier than it was, but above all they - wanted a first clat Job turned out so that the structure which is to serve the children of that, community for many years would be up to dete in .every respect! And as a result there-- J was some delay when Inferior materi-- i al was used and the board demanded i that it be built in accord with spccl-Iflcation- s. .. Later the contractor fell down on the Job and his bondsman, George El Chandler, Tiad it completed under the direction of Contractor Ml-- , sen.

The ' J class rooms and the assembly hall are well lighted and the students of j that community will have every ad-- 1 vantage of a convenient and a com-fortable place in which to pursue their studies. The school board is to be congratu-lated on providing such a splendid ( houw for the children and the peoplo j of Highland !Boy are proud of the ex-cellent school facilities they now I have.

' , imms The Great Copper Camp Has Furnished More Than 284 M?n , For Uncle Sam's Service Many Of These Were Prominent Business Men And Are Now Doing Their Bit Fine List Of ' Men Who Have Lived In The Camp For Years We Have 7 Done Little In Comparison With The Sacrifice That These Men Are Making .N ., Below, is the honor roll of ( ing-- . ham men who have Joined the colors since, the declaration of war against Germany a little more than a year ago. This roll will show a total of 284 men and we defy, any other slm- - ilar community to show an equal number. In glancing over this list you will find some of the finest young - men in America,1 But the beauty of . the whole affair is that those of high and low standing are here brought on ; an equal footing they are each con-- . tributing their all to the country and ' no man can offer more, When we, 1 who are more fortunate and remain at home we should stop and consider . wh&t these boys are doing for us 3 over there.

REPUBLICAN DELE-GATES ARE CHOSEN There was a good attendance out at the Republican primaries held last night In " Bingham and Copperfleld, rmd from the Information and talk on the streets of Bingham, It is expected that the delegates will seek for one of the county positions on the ticket. It has been agitated that Bingham was entitled to a county commission-er and It may be that this place"on the ticket will be asked for. The fol-lowing are the delegate elected last night: , "" Bingham James Garnet, C. B. P. E. Straup, A. L, Englesby, Ben Bardell, John F. Greenwood, A. B. Pautsch, Q. SB. Kelley, Judge E, JS.

WL Quinn has returned from a three weeks trip to the East . where ; he spent the time In' sight seeing and ' visiting With old friends,' and It' is very interesting to listen to him tell about the things he saw and the good time he had. , " The three important places he vU ited were New York, Washington and Iowa, and the thing that interested him most was the marked changes that have taken place since he was back iEast. The great Woolworth building in New York City has been erected since he .was there years ago and the industrial improvements in every way have been remarkable. iBut perhaps the things ' that im-- : nressed hira most were the big cross in Iowa, the great. areas of corn fi-a- nd the magnificent roads. He visited . the fields where farming is conduct ed ofi.the scientific, systematic and --intensive plan, lie said that the sec-- . tlon he visited there had been no rain since the middle of 'May and they have no irrigation there, but the far-mers are experts f the matter of conserving the moisture in the soil and the corn is so tall that when one is in the field he feels as though be is in a dense forest, Mr. Quinn brought back with him a sample of the corn grown there und , some of the local farmers are anxi'is to acquire the same for seed, i It looks natural to see Mr. Quinn , back at his post in the town hall and , the tenants of that place and many others are glad to have hira back. CflPPERFIElD SCHOOLS. Mil SOON - The Copperfleld school" , buflding which wtis destroyed by fire ." some .months, ago ia being rapidly ,uilt and will be ready for .use, by the first of November or probably earlier. The masonry; and the woodwork :s al-ad- y completed and 'now ready for the plasterers. This building was erected to the old walls which were left intact after the fire and it will be nearly like it was before the fire with a few improve-ments. Tho stairways n hich . were formerly of wood will be of cement. The board of education viyited the building Wednesday afternoon and inspected the work which is now go-ing on. The work on this building is being somewhat delayed hy the lark of material. Owing to the pressure of business on the railroads it has been dififcult to secure some of the material. , , The superintendent stated that ar-rangements would oe made to have a full term of school there this year which means that the term will con-tinue over for some time in the sum-mer, but owing to the climate at Cop-perfleld it will not be hot there should the school continue six weeks or more beyond the UBual closing period. Also a six day schedule will probubiv be inaugurated at the Copperfleld school. , , , . , TOWN BOARD MEETING The town board met in regular ses-sion at the clerk's office Wednesday night and in addition to making an- - propriations for the monthly bills took up a number of other matters. A communication was received from Dr. D. H. Ray with reference to tha flufhe in Markham gulch. This was concerning the overflow of water in the spring and the Intention is to make this safe at all seasons of the year. The board has proposed to care i for the water after it reaches Main street, but wants the land owners to I keep the flume In correct shape where i it Joins their property. The Utah Power & Light Company j was notified that owing to the water ; situation it would have tc make dif- - i 'orent arrancmentB about securing its supply. Three propositions' were submitted to the companv. To build a larger tank. Install a pump or move the water connection south of the iity, main, tinder the present plan ! much water is wasted in supplying the co.npany with its needs. POLITICIANS PAY BINGHAM A VISIT Sfheriff Corless, Charles McCann, Clarence Neslin, M. M. Beaver and otheiS of Salt Lake were in Bingham Wednesday surveying the field. They are getting ready for the coming cam-mlK- n and all were In a mighty pood humor and were shaking hands right and left and were glad to see every-body. , . . .'. . . They were out In a big car and they visited a number of Important places in the camp.- The sheriff Vpld "p; .vthi.is "was moving on fine in the camp bo far an lie could see.- - This ir first, trip to Bingham since his deputies here have Into their new quarters. f REBUILDING IS STARTED " The work of rebuilding the section of town destroyed by the recent fire has already commenced. Peter H Pitchlos, who owned the Athens room- - ing house, one of tho brick and con I crete buildings destroyed, began eur-(l-y this w.eek the erection of a new .building. The walls of this building ! were left uninjured by the fire and they will be used for the new struc-ture. The new building is to be similar to the one destroyed with the adi tion of a third story and some other imnroven-pnts- . The work of rebuild InR will bo rushed with all possible speed and will be completed at an early date. t . BINGHAM ITALIANS GET ' MEDAL FROM HOMELAND ' From the Red Cross .organization ... In their homeland the Italians of Bingham have received a bronze med- - k al and a diploma of benevolence of the assistance they have rendered the (mercy organization through the Blng- - . ham Italian society. The Itnltons here have sent $1300 to the Italian society. Tho help they gave their fellow countrymen was done after they had held up their end of patriot-ic work being done in behalf of the armies of tlu- - United States. HOW TO 'RANK' A SOLDIER A When you meet a soldier, can you , tell at a glance his rank and his branch of service? Learn how, at the Utah State Fair.
