AMERICAN RED GROSS TO GIVE RURAL HELP Program for Public Health and Community Welfare Is Now Well Under Way. Rural communities and towns of less than 8,000 population benefit in a very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the Amert-ca- n Red Cross. Almost all of the 8,000 Red Cross chapters have some rural sections in their territory. There-for- e the Red Cross Rural Service. Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-ice Is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public health Instruction and general educational progress of both children and adults play a big part Recreation Is found to be one of the blccest needs In rural llfp. Thprn In lack of sufficient play-lif- e for the chil-dren and social life for the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baseball leagues, community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and car-ried on under the guidance of Red Cross rural workers to great advan-tage. . In many Instances solving rec-reational problems and getting people together proves to be the awakening of the community to other conditions which may be Improved by united action. As a result of community organiza-tion, townships In which there had been neither plans nor Interest in community progress have been organ-ized to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards, Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as a result of community meetings, as well as cir-culating libraries. Red Cross schools of Instruction In Home Nursing, Care of the 81ck and First Aid. In the lnrger tewns the need for restrooms' and pub-- He eomfert stations Is being met Play-grounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked eut for the year. In order that there may be concerted effort In carrying en the programs of the various welfare agencies in the rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-ice helps the organizations already on the ground. The main object of the service Is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where neces-sary. MUCH PR03RESS MADE BY T0WO0ARD At the regular meeting of the town board Wednesday night the routine business for the month of September was disposed of. The members of the hoard reviewed the bills presented by Secretary Francis Quinn and voted to pay them all. Mayor C. E. ; Adderley compli-mented the board and especially Treasurer Peter Service on the good financial condition of Bingham. He stated that with the funds which the town has had to work with this sum-mer some remarkable progress has been made in th$ field of public im-provements. Sidewalks have been built and the water system has been improved until now it ranks favor-ably with any town of the size in the state. BASKET III OUTLOOK IS Coach Lester "Pesty" Jarvis, the former Aggie star, is turning his at-tentions to the coming basketball season. "Pestyy" declares he will uphold the traditions of Bingham hoop squads which have been in the state tournament for the past three years. The Blue and White mentor says he will miss the services of Pat Hy-la- nd and Brig. Knudsen, who have migrated to Ogden with "Stubby" Peterson, but with the material which he has at hand Jarvis can see no difficulty in bringing the knights of the waxed floor to their acknowl-edged position of prominence at the top of the heap at the end of the season. Coach Jarvis will start 'intensive training for his squad after the Thanksgiving holidays, as he feara over-trainin- g his men if he lets them go the pace they desire at present. SENATOR KING SPOKE T0 LARGE CROWD A large crowd met in Society hall last Monday evening at the Demo-cratic rally. The first address was delivered by J. L. White of Salt Lake, who was followed by Senator William H. King. The senator spoke chiefly on labor questions and on the league of nations. The Ariel quartet furnish- - ed music for the dance which fol-- lowed the rally. . Americanism .. t By LEONARD WOOD I know not what court others may 'take, but a for me, five me liberty or give me death! Patrick Henry: Speech before the Virginia convention March. 1775.', EVERY American schoolboy knows speech of Patrick Henry. In recent years serious speakers have avoided it as a text and rarely have used it .as a quotation. Why? Simply been u'' it is so well known and has been repeated So many times in the years past for'public platforms thnt the thought has been it is worn threadbare. There even have been those who have looked upon it as a bit of "spread-eagleism- " and therefore not to be used In what they call dlg-nlft-discourse. The men who look upon this utter-- I unce of Puii-ic- Henry in this way lo.se sight bfthe spirit of the. times and the Immediate spirit of the occa- - slou which Induced Its utterance. It was a ringing and a daring speech and it meant Americanism at a time when only the fearless were thinking of Americanism In all that the word implies. Freedom, equality of men before the law, those Inalienable rights of mankind, which the "Declaration of Independence, only one year after Henry spoke In Virginia, made as plain as John Hancock's signature so that all men might read. Patrick Henry in this speech said that he did not know what course i others might take. There were then ! men who feared to follow the path which led to Independence, and there were other men who did not believe that liberty with equality could be at-tained, or If attained could be main-tained. The doubting ones drew les-sons from- - the past and predicted like happenings In the future. America has given the answer to the doubters in this country, There Is but one course that men ' may take if they would insure the preservation of those Institutions which were In Patrick Henry's mind whet he demanded liberty and made death preferable if it were to be de-nied. Americans born here or born j ' elsewhere have liberty In their hands to keep or to throw away. Amerlcan-- ; lzation has but one object the teach-- i Ing of that kind of citizenship which ' holds liberty priceless. IUUEX Hi NOT BUD INCREASED RECEIPTS AND DE-CREASED OPERATING EXPENSE CAUSE OF SURPLUS. The Utah-Ape- x Mining company has declared a dividend of 25 cents per share, payable November 1 to stock of record October 19. Total capitalization of the company Is 600,000 shares of stock with a par value of $5, of which 528,000 shares have been issued. Up to date, includ-ing the last dividend, the company has distributed a total of $1,275,000, ac--1 cording to Weed's Mines and Copper Handbook. The last dividend was paid November, 1918. Decision of directors of the Utah-Ape- x Mining company to pay a divi-dend of 25 cents per share, according to the Boston News Bureau, was prompted by increased receipts of cash during the last few months and the gradually decreasing operating expenses made possible by the in-stallation of new equipment last year and inauguration of many mining economies. It is over' a year since the company ceased paying dividends. Since that time it has paid all the expenses of its suits against the Utah Consolidated Mining company and owes no money, i On the first of this month Its cash balance was approximately $400,000, and because stockholders have waited iff' patiently . pending development of . their property, the management de- - cided to order a disbursement. The judge has sti'; ?er advise--t ment the case of Utah-Ape- x against ! Utah Consolidated. TM litigation has been in the hands of the court in Salt Lake City for almost a year now, and a decision is expected Almost any day. Great interest attaches to the finding, because it will go a long way toward clearing up much of the doubt existing as to the exact ownership of certain llmebed formations in the Bingham camp. Unless the Utah-Ape- x company, however, is assured that its rights are not being encroached upon, the com-pany intends to take the case to the higher courts. Overtures, direct and indirect, have been made many times looking to a consolidation, but thus far nothing has been offered which would tempt Utah-Ape- x to enter a merger. The company is sinking its shaft to the 2,000-foo- t level, where the down-ward extension of the ore 'body now being mined on the 1,800-fo- level will be opened up. It is planning the in-stallation of a flotation unit which, with the high-grad- e ore body now being mined, should further shave down operating expenses. BINGHAM POST OF AMERICAN LEGIOrf PURCHASES FUG Bingham post No. 30, American Legion, has finally found a worthy way of investing the funds which remained from the Fourth of July celebration staged in the camp under the auspices of the post. For some time, Bays Dr. John Anderson, adju-tant, considerable dissention reigned over the money but now the internal dispute has been settled and two beautiful flags fly from the mast over the club roioms One is the Stars and Stripes and the other Is the post emblem. j .' K ' ' Local flag experts say that the emblems now In' possession of the post 'fir surpysifj anything ; " 6f ' the kind "yw- tl4J"tJ' .Av'an))5.it- - ) stipulated by the former ' soldiers that the flags will always remain in the camp as an incentive for Ameri-canism. '. REPUBLICAN RALLY IS PLANNED FORSATURDAY What is said by Republican lead-ers in Bingham to be the grand finale of the campaign here will be staged Saturday night. A Republican parade will be held and those who hare it - . in charge say that men, women and children will march in the procession. After the parade the scene of ac-tivity will be transferred to the Princess theater, where slides will be shown of interest to followers of Warren G. Harding. E. O. Leather-woo- d of Salt Lake will be the prin-cipal speaker for the occasion and he will hold forth on Republican prin-ciples. The parade will start at 7 o'clock in the evening and the theater pro-gram will begin at 8 o'clock. COLUMBUS DAY OB-SERVED INBINGHAM Columbus Day was observed here properly on the 12th of this month. The members of the Italian lodges all in making the day memorable in the history of the camp. Various sports were indulged in and the finale of the day wa3 a dance. It might be worth while to recall that Representative Francis W. Quinn of Bingham was the author of the bill which set October 12 aside' as a legal holiday. The last session of the state legislature passed this measure. LIQUID FUEL TO BE SUBSTITUTE FOR GAS This Amount Is Sufficient to Keep . 1,200,000 Automobiles Running for One Year. While engineers, chemists and auto-mobile men throughout the country have been bending their best efforts toward developing some liquid fuel as a substitute for gasoline to 'meet the ever increasing demands of the fast growing automotive Industry, the United States Bureau of Mines comes forward with the declaration that the entirely preventive losses in the evap-oration of gasoline from crude petro-leum from the time the petroleum leaves the wells until it arrives at the refineries reaches a total of more than 300,000,000 gallons each year, or sufficient to keep 1,200,000 automo-biles in commission for a year if each car uses 250 gallons of gasoline. These, according to the Bureau of Mines, are merely the preventive losses from evaporation alone and do not take into consideration other losses, many of which in part may be avoided. The total loss from evapora-tion amounts to more than 600,000,000 gallons of gasoline for the country, ac-cording to the investigations of the bureau, which has calculated that one-hal- f of this, or 300,000,000 gallons of gasoline, may be saved. The worst feature to thi3 is the fact tV.r.t f'.o r',"oline wasted is the most volatile and consequently the best quality of gasoline obtainable. It fol-lows that the prevention of this loss, which is economically possible, would not only increase the gasoline supply materially but would also increase the general standard of the gasoline. The bureau will issue, shortly, care-ful directions to the oil men as to how this deplorable situation may be reme-died. It is estimated by the bureau that the 600,000,000 gallons of gaso-line lost through evaporation each year is worth as a national asset about $150,000,000. J. O. Lewis, petroleum technologist of the bureau, in his statement on these losses, says: "At a time when there exists so much apprehension in regard to the gasoline situation, it is comforting to learn of any ways in which the supply may he increased. In an intensive effort to find ways of increasing and improving the quality of gasoline, the Bureau of Mines has made an investigation of the losses of gasoline by evaporation from the crude oil in the field. Extensive ex-periments and investigations in the principal fields have disclosed that a great quantity of the gasoline now escapes into the air. This can tfr conservatively estimated at about 2" per cent of the gasoline in the erud oil. Furthermore, probably half of this, at least, can be economically recovered, and this quantity will not only increase our supply but its improve quality somewhat. "From thq time that the crude oil reaches the surface of the ground at the' well, the oil passes through a series of tanks and pipe lines until it reaches the refinery, sometimes thou-sands of miles away. In the course of its journey the oil Is exposed to can and air, and the gasoline, being very volatile, vaporizes and escapes into the atmosphere. Although it hai been generally known that such losses occur, no one, up to the pres ent time has called attention to their magnitude. The methods of handling crude oil in the field have grown up from the time when gasoline was a drug on the market, and there was consequently no incentive for con-serving it. Until recently no one stopped to consider whether the methods devised for conditions twenty and thirty years ago Were still satis-factory for today. "With the of thp Bureau of Mjnes in placing informa-tion at their disposal, the oil com-panies are awakening to the losses of gasoline which have occurred, and are taking active steps to save the gaso- line which formerly escaped into the air and benefited no one." JUNIOR RED CROSS . ACTIVE IN EUROPE Garden seeds for Polish orphans, milk for anaemic Greek babies, car-penters' tools for Czecho-Slovakin- n cripples these sre only a few of the gifts that young Americans are send-ing to the d children of the Old World. Through the Junior Red Cross the boys and girls of the Uniled States ' are giving a fresh start In life to little war orphans scattered all over Europe. They have set up orphans' homes In France, school colonies In Relgium and Montenegro, and day schools In Al-bania. They are sending dozens of yonng Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians to American colleges In Constantinople and Beirut, and maintaining more than a hundred brphans of French soldiers at colleges and trade schools. In or-phanages and farm schools up and down the peninsula of Italy there are nearly 500 wards of American Juniors. Last winter a thousand French chil-dren from the Inadequate shelters of the devasted regions were sent by the Junior Red Cross to spend the cold months In warmer parts of France. At the same time five thousand little Belgians were having a hot lunch every day at Junior Red Cross school can-teens. American school children have al-ready raised something like n million dollars for these enterprises, and they are still hard at work. In China, through campaigns of ed-ucation, the Junior Red Cross Is help-ing to combat widely prevalent blind-ness md cholera.

REPiLMCIllffl SWITCHES TO COX Herbert Parsons cf New York City Announces His Reasons for Chang-ing to Governor Cox and League. "All Senator Harding's antileag.io talk is mush." Herbert Parsons, former chairman of the Republican county committee f of New York, resigned his member-ship in the committee Friday. The foregoing U a part of a bitter attack on Harding contnir.d in hi"? letter of resignation. "Harding will not accomplish any-thing constructive," he writes. "He says he has no international program and that it is Mly to bo :??eeific. He is a member of the senate, and of its committee on foreign relations, and has thus had before him the treaty and the league for over a year, and he says he does not know what should be done. He never will know what should be done. He never will know he is negative and senliment.al." Parsons explains his resignation' to Samuel Koenig, chairman of the com-mittee, by declaring: "It iti my intention to vote for Cox for president. I am for the league of nations. Cox is for 'going in'; Harding is not for 'going In,' although in the senate he voted for 'going in.' " Mr. Parsons was a member of the Republican national committee and national executive commitee from 1916 to 1920, and a leader of the party In New York state. Not a Joshua.

Americanism By LEONARD WOOD fr It it all ri grit and inevitable that we should divide on party line, but woe to lis if we are not American! first and pir y men second. Tliaodore Roose-velt: Speech September 2, 1902. v THEODORE ROOSEVELT believed the nation's life wns at Ktnke Americanism should know no party except the one which the word. Implies, a gathering Into one party of all men when matters vital to the coun-try are at Issue. The strength of Roosevelt's words shows how solemnly he regarded the obligation of every citizen of thr United States to be first an American and something else afterward. In times of great national peril party lines almost entirely disappear, as In the war when the Republicans supported the administration almost ' without question. If the day should come when they do not. the beginning of the nd Is not far off. Seemingly It is so obvious a thing that considerations of country should rise superior to those of party that It may seem almost useless to stress the point. It Is necessary, however, to do so today because there are groups in this country which, while they may call themselves political parties, are not truly such. Men recently, not In great numbers, it is true, but in large enough groups to cause some appre-hension, have been advocating theories which If turned Into actual conditions would put a false idealism above coun-try. It Is the endeavor of these men to paint on the canvas a picture alluringly beautiful, but which Is a picture only. Roughly speaking, it represents every man ns the follower of his own In-clinations nnd desires without- - regard to the welfare of the members of the community ns a body. It Is r. picture of government without a government a sort of por-trayal which enn,' appeal only to the pnsslons of men. When these pnlnters turn preachers and urge that their false Ideas be it might seem perhaps that they would be dangerous only to the un-thinking. The trouble Is, however, that nmny of them buttress their pleus .villi arguments which seemingly have weight. It is for the stable minded to offset with plain statements of fact the attempts of the enemies of good wvarnment to destroy existing Instl- - CONTRARY METHODS "Here's a news Item says folks In a Pennsylvania town are lowering meat."
