FARMERS PLAN GIGANTIC POOL TO CON- - TROL WHEAT MARKETING . Columbus, Ohio. Formation of a gigantic wheat pool in the United States, whereby the farm-- ers will virtually control market- - ing and selling the grain, is one of the more important subjects ' to be planned here by farmers who are attending a three-da-session of the National Board of Farm Organizations. The Board of Farm Organiza- - tions now controls 1,500 grain elevators in the country and does a yearly farm busi- - ness of 2,000;'000,000, according to officials. Plans are to take over or build grain elevators at every point " where wheat Is shipped. It will be poslble, it was said, to con- - ' trol 40 per cent of the country's wheat output. "Profits will be stabilized and prices to the consumer greatly reduced," said Charles S. Bar- - rett. Union City, Ga., president of the organization. AMERICAN LEGION WILL MEET SEPT. 27 IN CLEVELAND When the convention of the American Legion meets in Cleve- - land on September 27, to run for three days, the question of the entrance of the veterans' organi-- zation into politics is certain to come up for discussion, accord- - ing to reports gathered from various states by the American Legion Weekly. California Legion- - naires have advocated placing a V Legion ticket in the field and un- - official reports from Oklahoma v and Tennessee have told of the activity of individual . Legion- - naires in the campaigns of can-- didates for state and national public offices. The attention of the Legionnaires in these cam-- ' paigns has been focused on the 4 candidates' war records. . - Friendly rivalry between var- - ious cities for the 1921 conven- - tion of the Legion now is being ' manifested. Bids for next year's meeting will be advanced by at least four big cities through their delegates. San Francisco, De-- troit, Kansas City and New Or-- yeans already are in the competi- - ' tion and many other cities are expected to follow their lead. BEST no AS (ffl nn Prediction Made that the Utah Copper Will be Producing 100 Years from Now Even Larger Than at Present. Early His-tory of Camp Told in the An-nual Edition of the Labor News. Holding renown as the greatest cop-per mining camp in the world, Bing-ham is registering a healthy growth that assures a future that is gratify-ing to all who have homes or interests in the big west mountain district- - Its mining industry will not "play out" in many generations, as is demonstrated in its history and by calculations made by experts of recognized authority. In-deed the big Utah copper mine will be 4, good for a hundred years, proved by what is in sight. Bingham started as a gold placer mining camp, with the late General Patrick E. Conner as its chief advo-cate. From that it has developed into the most prolific underground mining region, in addition to having brought out the great open-ai- r copper work-ings of the Utah Copper company, one of the world's big mining wonders. Labor conditions in the camp have been good during the past year. There have been no labor troubles of any consequence. All has been working smoothly and well and everything is . prosperous. ' - , ' .. , All the incorporated towns of the V canyon are in progressive shape and their business is growing steadily and healthfully. The people are con-tented and happy; they are industri- - ,and these things make for the sue . cess of the communities, which are ; counted among the most "live" and progressive of the state. Bingham is one of the mining camps of the state of which Utah ha3 cause to be proud. There is opportunity plenty in Bing-ham for everyone, and Bigham wel-comes those who come to make the best of opportunity. Historian Bancroft describes the dis-- .: covery of mining possibilities of Bing-ham as follows: "In 1863 Cnptain A." Heintz and a party from Camp Douglas discovered argentiferous galena and copper in Bingham canyon, on the east slope of the Oquirrh range, near the Jordan, nnd about thirty miles south of Salt Lake City. A mine was located in Sep-tember of that year by a man named Ogilvie, and in December following, a mining district was established, named : the West Mountain, and including the portion of the range between Black Rock, at the southern end of Great Salt Lake, and tho fortieth parallel. ' In 1871 this district contained tbirty-fiv- e mines." Whitney's description may be com-pared with the foregoing: "A party of soldiers from Camp Douglas were guarding some horses belonging to the garrison which (the horses, not the garrison editor had been sent to graze in Bingham canyon. -- Thoy were joined one day by General Connor and a picnic party of officers : and their wives from Cnmp Douglas, and one of the ladies, while rambling on the mountain sides, picked up a . loose piece of ore. The soldiers at once prospected the vein, discovered '. it, and sticking a stake in the ground made their location, since which Utah ) has been known to the world as a rich r mining camp. Another account by the historian E. W. Tullidgo, states that a , man named Ogilvie, while logging in r the canyon, found a piece of ore which he sent to General Connor, who had it assayed. It was then, according to .Mr. Tullidge, that Connor organized his picnic party and proceeded to ' Bingham canyon, located the mine, which was named the Jordan. Soon after Connor wrote some mining laws v and held a miners' meeting at Gard- - ner's mill on the Jordan river, where the laws were adopted and Bishop ) Gardner elected recorder of the West Mountain Mining district. Thus, was the ball set rolling." 4 .";.,':. "CUTTING IN." I' --,? j Red Cross field representatives; fif-- ! teen hundred of whom are at work throughout the country, are constant-ly called upon to solve the most deli-- j cate family problems. Recently a colored boy came into the Red Cross office in a western town. "Boss," he said, "I done lost ma wife." I The Red Cross man expressed sym-- i pathy. "How did it happen, Sam," he said. , "Ter husband done come and got her," replied the bereaved one. ISARKHAM GULCH SIDE-WALKS ARE COMPLETED Water Master Wm. Robbins has completed the sidewalks up Markham Gulch and this improvement makes a wonderful difference in the looks of that street. It is a fine improve-ment over the old board walks which have been replaced.' Mr. Robbins and his force have started on the new walks in the lower part of Bingham and will also concrete around the new pressure INTERSTITIAL. valve.

McPherson, a prominent attorney of ' Springville, while sitting beside a client in the district court, died instantly of apoplexy. Mr. Mc- Pherson had only been in the court-room a short time when he was stricken. There were a number of spectators in the courtroom at the time, and these were greatly shocked at the sudden death, as he seemed in his usual health. Mr- - McPherson was one of Utah county's highly respected members of ' the bar, which vocation he has fol-lowed since coming to Utah more than 25 years ago He was an active citizen in the community, taking part .in the general welfare of the city in which he lived and in the community at large, being city attorney for Springville at the time of his death. He was quite active in politics, being Republican chairman in the city and precinct of Springville. He was 63 years of age and is survived by his wife, three sons and one daughter. AMERICAN LEGION MEETINGS. The Bingham post of the American Legion are holding their meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month in Smith's hall.

SPRINGVILLE WILL GET A $23,000 LIBRARY Mass Meeting Votes in Favor of Special Library Tax for New $25,000 Building. Springville will have a fine $25,000 Carnegie library if plans which were made last Saturday evening at a mass meeting presided over by Mayor Frederick Dunn of that city mate-rialize. Springville made application for aid from the Carnegie corporation of New York in 1916, but owing to the war and the increased cost of all building material were about to lose this aid to erect a fine library build-ing. Some action was necessary and at once or else this assistance of $12,500 which the Carnegie corpora-tion was offering would be withdrawn. A motion was made and carried at the meeting Friday evening to favor the levying of a special three mill tax for the next three years for library pur-poses which will mean that a total tax of nine mills for that purpose will be levied over a period of three years. This will give Springville city about $12,500, which with a like amount from the Carnegie corporation will give them $25,000 for a fine new library building. The question was discussed pro and con for some time and several mo-tions offered before the final motion to favor the tax levy was made. Miss Mary E. Downey, who has been greatly Interested in the move for some time, talked very strongly for the new library and the special tax. Dr. Fred Dunn, who is mayor of the city and a very fine progressive citi-zen, also talked In favor of the pro-posed tax levy and the new library. Miss Downey, who is state librarian, was iu I'rovo yesterday and is very jubilant over the outlook for a splen-did new library in our neighboring city. The new building will cost in the neighborhood of $21,000 or $22,000 and the balance will be used for equip-ment. In fact it will be the finest library south of Salt Lake City and will be the envy of many of the other larger cities and towns in central and southern Utah. A number of secret orders have sprung up In the American Legion as a side issue to the work of the organi-zation. Among these is the Amal-gamated Order of Hard-Bolle- d Eggs. Post No. 1 of this society, located in El Paso, Tex., chose Friday the 13th of August as the date for one of Its meetings. Wm OCTOBER 42 TO 9T--2 ) Mtm 5T EVERYBODY f , , PROVO TICKET AGENT WAIVES Till say I HEARING FOR EMBEZZLING H. S. Ellis, ticket agent at the Union passenger station was ar-raigned Friday and waived his pre-liminary hearing on a charge of em-bezzlement. He is alleged to have stolen $873.72 from the Rio Grande Railroad company. He was released from custody on a $1,000 bond. The first issue of permanent char-ters to Legion; posts whose applica-tions have been approved by their re-spective department headquarters y was made from national head-quarters. The charters bear the signatures of the national commander, national adjutant and of the depart-ment commander and adjutant. The novel experiment of bringing an orchestra to town for a dance by airplane was tried out successfully by Spiers-Denni- s post of Olathe, Colo. The orchestra, which was composed of former service men, flew to the ballroom from Montrose, a neighbor-ing town. It is reported that one of the fas-tidious newly married women of this town kneads bread with her gloves on. The incident may be somewhat pecu-liar, but there are others. .f The editor of this paper needs f bread with his shoes on he needs bread with his shirt on and he needs 1 bread with his pants on, and unless ' some of the delinquent subscribers of " ' this "Old Bag of .Freedom" pony up before long, he will need bread with- - out a d n thing on and North Dakota is no Garden of Eden in the winter time.
