The job In Poland is one of tremendous proportions and cannot be abandoned for many months to come. Here is h typical scene: A Red Cross worker "at the throttle" of a soup kitchen where i"udiedg of uudei'uoumJjed , women and children are fed dully. Americanism By LEONARD WOOD I m not a Virg:nian but an American. Patrick. Henry t Speech in the Virginia Conven-tion, 1765. THESE words of Patrick Henry n sermon In Americanism. They are brief as a text, but as full of meat as any sermon. Native-bor- n Americans, perhaps, need the lessons to be drawn from Henry's words more than some pf the American citizens of foreign birth. Men and women who come here from the other shores naturally think in terms of the Unite!) States and not in those of any state. Henry was a Virginian talking to Virginians when he proclaimed his Americanism as paramount to his stateism. The state Is the state and the country is the country. No man can be merely a Massachusetts man, or a New York man, or a California man, but he must be an American man if he Is to meet the requirements of citizenship in the great republic. This has nothing at all to do with varying opinions concerning state powers and federal powers. In the late war divisions of men reo-- resenting every state in the Union fought for the right. Theirs was a pride, not local but national. In the camp and In the field the mingling of men from all parts of the country made in part for Americanization, but In larger part for Americanism. There were comparatively few sol-diers who needed what we call Amer-icanization. The day has not yet .come perhaps when the men of Maine can take the same pride In the deeds of men of California that they take In the deeds of the sons of the land of the pine tree. It Is not human nature to sup-pose that this should be the case, but within the last few years a nearer approach to the ultimate goal of a perfected patriotism has been made. There is nothing In this to prevent a man from .taking pride In the par ticutav state of his birth and upbring-ing. "There Is no place like home." The affections center In one's neigh-borhood, but there are the broader af-fections which embrace the whole country and which in real American hearts are held supreme. Abraham Lincoln, born in Kentucky, nominated and elected to the presi-dency from Illinois, thought only In terms of the union of states. Theo-dore Roosevelt, born In New Tork. liv-ing for some years In the open West, was Intensely Amerlcnn. He knew nothing of state boundaries. - HIGH SCHOOL MAY PLAY FOOTBALL . THISJASON Plans are Under way to Give to the Bingham High School a Real Live Football Team. Business Men are Asked to Get Back of the Move. "Pesty" Jarvis Says Bingham Has the Pep and the Material. Our old friend "Pesty" dropped In On ye editor last Tuesday night and outlined his plans for inaugurating a football campaign here in the Old Reliable. Then it came to mind that it has been all of eight or nine years since the Bingham High BChool en-gaged In football with the Jordan High - school and about fifteen or twenty years since the town boys have had a team in the old favorite sport. "Pesty" claims tuat Bingham has ma-terial for a good team either among the students or the town boys. Why not try? All fellows who have played football or are Interested should go and talk the matter over with Jarvis, the local high school coach, and get the ball It would mean a great deal to Bingham if she sould build up a football team somewhere as good as the basketball team of last year. .Jarvis says that he can prom-ise a real fast fighting team if the players and the money for the suits are forthcoming. It will take about $600 to start it but the suits will last three or four years and if the team is any good at all they can make ex-penses. What we need in Bingham is pep, and then more nep le'a " busy and back Coach. Jarvia to' tha limit . - It is estimated that about $600 must be raised to help finance the proposition of a football team, A part of this amount can be raised by the team and the school but a big part of it must be raised among the business interests of the town. The companies might be induced to assist in this good movement. MiiniiG AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY R. 0. T. C. In Charge of Major M. G Randol is Success.. Bingham Students Interested and Participate Military training is now recognized as a necessity, not only from the standpoint of preparedness but by the physical training it gives our young men, The Reserve Officers' Training Corps was established by congress late in 1916 and was at that time only entered in schools which already had military training on their programs. The military schools of the country joined immediately, because they knew of the advantages obtained for their young men. State universities, col-leges and high schools were next en-rolled and until now practically every large school in the country has a unit. - They are first, the University of Utah, which has a field artillery unit under the supervision of Major Marshall G. Randol, field artillery, United States army. Here they have uuder his care and direction eleven guns of seven dif-ferent models. The- - French 75, the British 75, the American 75, American the G. P. F. (a French gun,) the (four point seven, Amer-ican gun) and the 155 millimeter how-itzer. The officers and men under Major Randol are Captain Wm. A. Campbell and Captain Knight, both of the field artillery, 1st Sergt. Auborn, Sergts. Orencole, Cowan and Carool, and about twenty-fiv- e privates. Thei university is starting the construction of stables capable of holding 50 horses which will be supplied by the govern-ment, and a supply house to hold the $300,000 worth of government equip-ment already on hand. The equipment includes all the material necessary to equip a complete regiment of field ar-tillery, four tractors, two White trucks two F. W. D. trucks, one machine gun reconnaisance car, two motorcycles and a Dodge touring car.' The students of the University of Utah have this enormous amount of equipment from which to draw their knowledge and practice in the arts of war under three of the most capable, ' instructors in the United States Field .'. v Artillery. ; Two Bingham boys were members of the unit last fall, and one Bingham boy was one of the privates detailed there by the War Department to in-struct the students. Henry Oddie and Michael Boccalero were students there last fall, Oddie taking the trip and training at Camp Knox, Kentucky, for six weeks during the summer. There are three branches of the unit at the Utah Agricultural College at Logan under the command of Captain Hartlo of the infantry, U. S. army. They are air service, infantry and coast artillery corps. This station is as fully equipped as the university and has more men and material on hand, owing to the three courses of-fered. The Ogden and Salt Lake City high schools also have infantry units. The Ogden unit in commanded by 1st Lieut R. C. Ererley of the Infantry U. S. army, and he is assisted by Sergt. Ilolloway. The Salt Lake City high schools are under the direction of Captain Parker of the infantry, as-sisted by Sergt. Jenkins and two other sergeants. There is another unit at Provo un-der the command of Major Prince of the field artillery. Their unit is field artillery and is very successful, the school having built the stables and everything is in fine shape. The University of Utah is the last in the state to fulfill its agreement with the government but now is start-ing to do so and it is hoped that the buildings will be finished by Christ-mas. There will be tiirce Bingham students in the U. of U. unit this fall. They are Henry Oddie, Clyde Country-man and Micheal Boccalero. In addi-tion to this they are endeavoring to take Into it all the fellows from Bing-ham who will be there this fall. The R. 0 T. C. gives to every stu-dent enrolled in it the following equip-ment: Shoes, legsins. shirts, orna- - ments, cap, coat end breeches free of charge. They are allowed to wear this during the school year and they receive commutation of rations which amounts to fifteen dollars a month. This lielna n Int. tn the student Alio is working his way through in addition to the university credit he receives for his work. The Reserve Officers Training Corps gives training, health, money and clothes and a commission in the reserve upon graduation. This cannot be beat and every young fel-low in the state should join if he can, for the knowledge gained is worth more than the time put in. EAGLES WILL ORGANIZE' LADIES. AUXILIARY . Hi HAH F. O. E.

BINGHAM DELEGATES TO NAME JUSTICE OF PEACE The Bingham delegates will hold their convention in t!ie high school auditorium Friday night to select the names for their ticket for the justice of the peace and constable. The favorites in the race for the nomination by the Democrats are Francis A. Miller of the Bingham Garage and Storage company for jus-tice of the peace, and Phillip Culleton the present incumbent, for constable. Men who are authorities on the sub-ject say that Miller and Culleton will both be nominated without any ap-parent opposition. ; Mr. Miller has been a resident of Bingham for the past nine years and during that time has been very active in the affairs of the Democratio party here in Bing-ham. Culleton has been the con-stable for a number of years and will win without any opposition. At least that is the predictions by the party leaders here in town. Mr. Miller would make a very fine judge and he is fair-minde- and a progressive citi-zen of the camp. He believes in a good clean town and if elected is sure to serve the people of Bingham with sure effort in the right lines. Miller has always been engaged in Business here in Bingham since his arrival, having first started a blacksmith shop and later on going into the automobile business and the stage line. Mr. Culleton has been on the Bingham police force for a number of years and a prominent Democrat. He 13 a good officer and is sure to. serve the people in a fair honest manner wherever hitf services are required. These two men are the most likely candidates for the above-name- posi-tions on the Democratic local ticket. BINGHAM DEMOCRATS ATTEND COUNTY C0N1NTION All the districts in the local pre-cinct No. 10 held their regular pri-maries to elect delegates for the state legislative and county conventions Friday night in t heir respective dis-tricts. The following delegates were elec-ted: District 187, n section Dan Coakley, J. B. Myers, J. C. Green, ,C. L. Countryman, W. E. Collins, F. W. Quinn and T. B. Stephens. .

The Bingham delegation left Mon-day at 1 o'clock for Salt Lake to at-tend the legislative convention held their that evening. They stayed there until Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. The Bingham delegation were divided on one particular phase of the county convention, namely, the of John S. Corless for sheriff. Some of the people in the camp opposed him, but some others were In favor of him. The Bingham delegation was divided on that ques-tion, but were more hr.rmontous on the other county candidates. Corless was nominated. John C. Green and Ray Kenner pre-sided in their respective districts. Mrs Lindelof presided in Copperfield and Mr. Johnson In Highland Boy. The chairman of the different districts ex-perienced! no difficulty In maintain-ing order as the people were very evi-dent in what they wanted and, except-ing for district No. 186, there was very little discussion. The call was read, the delegates were nominated and that ended the matter. 186 had a lit-tle dissention but not to arouse much interest. - PRICES TO CONSUMER ACCORDING REPORT " Prices paid to producers of farm crops during the month of August in-dicate a steady decrease to consumers according to M. M. Justin, agricultural statistician, who bases his statement upon advices from Washington, D. C. The level of prices paid to producers decreased 10.6 per cent during last month, which left the current price, September 1, this year about 7.2 per cent lower than one year ago. Not only is this decline true of the actual foodstuffs produced upon the farms of Utah, but it is also true in the nation at large, the statistician says. This fall in prices includes cat-tle, which also experienced a decided decline. In one month, from July 15 to August 15, the prices of meat ani-mals decreased 2.3 per cent through-out the United States. On August 15, the prices' of hogs, cattle, sheep and chickens were 22.1 per cent lower than that date one year ago, and 14.8 per cent lower than two year3 ago; this in the face of the fact that there are fewer hogs and chickens in the nation than one year ago. The yields In foodstuffs are show-ing an increase on August 1 of 7.2 per cent over that date last year, al-though the total acreage is less this year than last, by about 5.4 per cent. Utah is keeping up Its share in the line of increased production, this state showing 103 per cent of average. Crops which show an increase over the average production are corn, oats, barley, white potatoes, tobacco, flax seed, rice, clover seed, sugar beets, cotton, appies, pears, kaffir corn, peanuts, hops and sorghum. The apple crop shows better than any other crop in the United States, the gain over last year being 50 per cent. Rice increased 27 per cent over the 1919 crop, being 27 per cent, and clover seed 31 per cent. The sugar beet crop of the United States com-pared with last year will be three-tenth- s of one per cent greater, from the outlook on September 1. CORLESS VISITS BINGHAM SUNDAY; BRINGS PARTY TO SEE UTAH COPPER MINE Last Sunday afternoon Sheriff John S. Corless of Salt Lake county accom-panied by Mrs. Corless, County Clerk Clark and Mrs. Clark, were in Bing-ham. The purpose of their visit, was to show the wonders of the copper camp to their wives. They only stayed in town for a few hours, and while here consulted with some of the party leaders. ANDREW NIELSEN KILLED IN STANTLY IN PLEASANT GROVE Andrew Nielsen, 76 years old, was killed Wednesday morning when he was struck by an automobile driven by Mrs. Orson Bullock. , "Uncle Andrew," as he was famil-iarly called, was a town character for the past ten or fifteen years he has been the package deliverer of the' community, and his red wagon which he used to haul small parcels about the town, was a familiar sight on the streets. The wagon probably was the cause of Mr. Nielson's death as it was while attempting to change his direc-tion in crossing the street at the tab-ernacle corner that he became con-fused and was struck by the auto-mobile. .Dr. Linebaugh took the aged man to his office but at 11 o'clock, about 45 minutes after the accident, he died. Witnesses say Mrs. Bullock was driving slowly and became confused when Mr. Nielsen attempted to save his wagon from injury by changing his direction. Mr. Nielsen Is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Ed Turner, and one brother, Jens Nielsen, His wife has been dead nearly 15 years and he has lived alone since that time, sup porting himself by being the town "errand boy." GRANDQUIST DANCES CONTINUE, Local Leader Announces Weeklies Will Still Dance. Grandnuist's orchestra and their regular Friday night dances in Smith's hall are still on the program and will continue there, says Severn Grand-quis- t, the leader and manager of the dances. So far they have been very successful and each time a great im-provement Is noticed In the attend-ance. The young people of the town must have some recreation and Friday and Saturday nights are the best for this, on account of the school days now. The students must get their lessons, and It is poor policy to try to go to school, and have a gay time every night in the week besides. Grandquist is a local boy and so are all hi orchestra, so the people are sure that the money stays at home and that is much better than hiring an orchestra from Salt Lake City when we have the real stuff in our home town. MACCABEES DANCE WAS BET-TER THANTHEV EXPECTED Character Ball Exceeds Expectations. Last Monday night the Women's Benefit association of the Maccabees gave a character ball in Society hall. There was a larga crowd of young people from all over the camp at-tended. They made merry until 2 a. m. and then departed for home. Sev-eral real good costumes were in evi-dence. Miss Alta Miller won first-prize- ; the costume was one of a negro girl, black face and all featured in it. The boys' first prize was won by Phil Culleton, Jr. He was dressed in the old colonial fctyle and represented George Washington. Among those who deserve mention were Miss Neva Stringhara, as Sis Hopkins; Miss Flo a the Follies Girl, and sev-eral others whose names we are un-able to get. Tho committee under Mrs. Bevan deserve a great deal of credit for the dance. It was very successful and well managed. Also well advertised and enough tickets sold beforehand to defray more than the expenses of the ball. ( In general everyone present had a delightful time and It will be remem-bered as the best dance of the'season in Bingham. Health News AN i HEALTH CONFERENCE First Regional Conference In Wash-ington In December. Washington, D. C The first of a series of regional health conferences authorized by the International Health Conference in Cannes is to be held in tills cl r, Decemoer I1 tc- 13. it J11 be devoted to a consideration of venereal diseases which, according to conservative estimates, constitute one of the world's most terrible plagues. The conference Is being organized under the joint auspices of the U. S. Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, the U. S. Public Health Serv-ice, the American Red Cross and the American Social Hygiene association. Prof. William H. Welch of Johns Hop-kins has consented to serve as presi-dent, and already assurances have been received that some of the fore-most physicians and sociologists will participate. Prominent health offi-cers and sociologists from all parts of North and South America will at-tend. The conference will review past ex-periences and existing knowledge as to the causes, treatment and preven-tion of venereal diseases, and will formulate recommendations relating to a practicable three-yea- r program for each of the North and South American countries participating. In addition it will make suggestions for putting, such programs into effect In speaking of the proposed confer-- ence, Surgeon General Hugh S. Gum-ming, of the U. S. Public Health Serv-ice, said "The United States is in the front rank of the countries which have organized against the Great Red Plague, and a consideration of the various measures which have proved of value In different communities will undoubtedly contribute much to fur-ther progress in the countries repre-sented at the conference. More than any other important communicable disease, the spread of the Great Red Plague is inextricably bound up in a mass of social, economic, educational and recreational problems. The suc-cess thus far attending the campaign against the venereal diseases Is due largely to the fact that this interrela-tion has been recognized and that the campaign has enlisted the not only of physicians and sanitarians, but of sociologists, judges, probation officers, educators, the clergy and good citizens generally." BINGHAMITES RETURN TO PEACE-FUL PURSUITS AT POSTOFFICE The Famous Female Duet Returns to Old Stand. After touring the northwest, in-cluding Idaho and Montana in their itinerary, Misses Josephine Berry and Katheryn Creighton returned to the old lonesome routine life of the Bing-ham postoffice. They were to be greeted by the entire town but did not arrive on time or else were notified beforehand and slipped into town by 'ways unknown to the rest of us. Bright, and early Tuesday morning they were seen buzzing around the poptoffice and all you could hear was "Hello, Jo! Hello, Kate! How was the trip?" City One was rather delayed Tuesday morning, reasons unknown, but it is thought that some confusion resulting In the general mix up of the office force-du-e to the arrival o" the globe-trotti- duet had something to do with it. Jo arrived at 4:30 px, and Kate at 12:30 pq. Not a Joshua. Two little brothers had quarreled and after their supper their mother - endeavored to friendly re-lations between them, finally quoting to them the Bible verse. "Let ot the sun go down upon your wrntL.'' Turn-ing to Bernard, the elder, she said: "Now, Bernard, are you going to let the sun go down on your wrath?" Ber-nard squirmed a little as he looked Into her face. "Well, how can I stop it?" he asked. "Poor Rlcharo." Poor Rlelmrd was the "pen psime." the name ' assumed by Benlnmln v Franklin In s eerie of almanacs pub-lished from 1732 to 1757, These al-manacs contain maxims and precepts on temperance, economy, cleanliness, Chastity nnd other homely virtues, and to several of the maxims ere added the words, "As Poor Richard says."
