There are only three doctors In Bingham, Dr. Btraup, Dr. Flynn and Dr. Ray, and they have been, and are now working night and day to relieve the sick and afflicted. In normal times there have been six and sometimes seven practicing physicians In the camp, but a number of them respond-ed to the call for war aid, and now while, the need of medical attention is greater than ever before in the history of the camp, when the work is more than doubled, the few remain-ing physicians are confronted with an immense task. Dr. Straup's hospital has been fill-ed almost to overflowing for several weeks with patients and he Is exert-ing every energy to see that they have the best attention possible. In .dd:tion to the work of Dr. Flynn he has himself just recovered from an attack of the influenza and two of his ch.'ldren have been desperately sick with the disease. Dr. Ray is now caring for more sick than is cus-tomary for two doctors at their busi-est season. And Uie manner in which they are all working in the interest of the people deserves praises equal to those who have faced the enemy on the firing line.. With reference to the work the Bingham doctors are doing it is dif-ficult to put in mere words the com-mendation they are due. People think of this more now than on ordi-nary occasions because no one knows now whose time will be next. What George W. Bagby said of the doctors of his community is very applicable to the doctors of this section. His story, "A Piece About Doctors, makeB Interesting reading at this time and below we are fyinganex-trae- t tfemrhis- - aftle1cirwTrfTffrr ten many years ago: "To the doctors I owe more than I can ever repay. I think that In this world It happens not seldom that they who would be prince In generosity, and give and give forever, are not only debarred from giving, but are forever doomed to receive; and I be-lieve that in the great book of the re-cording angel there are pages upon pages filled with credits of gratitude which found no voice for the very shame of mere words of requital, and because the fitting deed could not go but to the savers of mankind. And then, oh then, there should be a sup-per, such a supper, a supper of the gods, an Olympian feast compounded for the special delectation of doctors, from which not one of you r hould rise till he felt too rich to accept a cent from A. T. Stewart or William B. Astor. And then 1 would consider myself moderately even with a few of you. v 'However 111 paid and often unpaid physicians may be. they have the con-solation of "knowing that eminence and success In almost every other calling and profession is a selfish success limited in good effects to the man and his immediate family; where as in medicine great success Is based, necessarily upon great and wide spread beneficence. To even moder-ately distinguished medical men there must come thrills of pleasure so supreme that only the minister of the gospel who feels that he has been the instrument of saving a soul can hope to taste a pleasure at all com-parable with It. , ( "Faithful keepers of the great seal of ifamily secrets, trusty wardens of the Ineffably precious health of our loved ones, silent and pitying wit-nesses of human suffering and hu-man weakness, who shall rightly tell your worth, and with what patent of nobility shall ye be fitly honored! Statistics show that man for man, your profession has fewer culprits than any other whatsoever. The sim-ple figures, unfeeling and unflatter-ing, bear testimony to the lofty vir-tue of your calling. It is the hope of humanity, and there is reason for the hope, that the day will come when there shall be no more great lawyers, for there shall be no more litigation; whoft there shall be no more great warriors, because 'wars shall have ceased; and when even the need for great statesmen shall have passed, lwj"WfcfrlcTW-TtrtriVd-TB- q infirmities thatS demand legislative correction or restraint. But that day can never come on this earth when men will not die. A healthy race, obedient to the laws of right living, will require few doctors (doctors truly that their chief functions will then be the teaching cf sanitary principles, and the mode of life demanded for the highest physical development!; but these few will be crowned with the laurel that once rested only upon the brow of the soldier, and with the boys that were reserved solely for hand in hand with the farm well welling up from a profoundly thank-ful heart. "Ah, gentlemen, had I my way there would not be wanting some large silver watches and some mod-erately high priced snuff boxes for a good many of you. But in earnest if I were a millionaire, I do not be-lieve that all the stinginess incident to that affliction could keep me from setting rich men an example of hon-or done to those that richly deserve to be honored. Currington should clear for me the m.ost spacious room In the exchange. It should be most beau-tifully and becomingly decorated. There I would gather the brightest men and the loveliest women in the land, and my doctors from far and near should be there. At a fitting hour I would command the peace, and then oome silver tongued Keiley or Stringfellow, gifted in speech, should say the splendid words that ought to be said In praise of your noble pro-fession. The sweetest girls In all Virginia, a doctor's daughter most likely, should in the eyes of that bril-liant assembly, pin to your coat lap-els the badge (newly Instituted by myaelf) of the Knightly Order of the Golden iPill. No. 1 I do not jest. She should decorate you with the cross of the Legion of True Honor, in that it would be given, not to the slayers. the jurist ana tne statesman. "The mind makes many pictures, and this is one that often delights me. In the realm where there will be no use for doctors, but where many doctors shall be, it shall come to pa6s that beside the river of liv-ing waters, and urder the trees whose leaves are for the healing of the na-tions, each upon his little knoll of emerald sword, the good doctors of this world shall be Beated. Celestial airs, zorne from the trembling wires of harps attuned to praise the Great Physician, and mingled with the df vine odors of amaranth and asphodel, shall pass by on the soft, pulsing breeze. And around each doctor shall be the host, small or great as the case may be, of them to whom he ministered on earth. They shall press forward with lips no longer dumb, with hands no longer afraid to tell by their clasp what even the lips might not like to say, and with eyes blazing full and warm from the un-masked soul. And from lips and hands and eyes shall come measureless And the little ones, the little ones whose first wall and whose last sigh the good doctors heard, Bhall come with purest kisses and cherubic palms, with uch sweet thanks and caressing as only the always angels know. And then, the picture falls softly and slowly away." U11 11 IS II ft! FULL BLASLIFJ BINGHAM f Campaign To Raise $9,000 In Bingham Now In Full Swing-Comm- ittee Assignments Have Been Made And Everyone Is Asked To Do His Duty Camp Expected To Raise Its Quota In Alloted Time Campaign Closes Next Monday. With the war over so far as bat-- . tling with the armed foe is concerned there is still much to be done yet be-fore the war work is all over, and the move now on is to raise in Bing- - ham and the camp the sum of $9,000 for the United War Work Organiza-tion. We now have an army of over :U . 2,006,000 men in France, and the boys must be fed and cared for and brought back home and it will take money to do this. Also the sick and wounded must be cared for and this will take money.' So now the people are asked to give, not to buy bonds, and no one should allow his enthusiasm to cool .at this Btage of the game, Bingham has always gone over the top and she must keep up her good record. At the outset Of the drive j there was manifested some little leth-arg- y on account of the fact that peace , . was at hand, many were inclined to 4 think that this meant there was noth-ing more to do. However, this is not j the case, and on second thought, it is f y easy for all to see it. So now is the time to loosen, up and show your pa-- triotism by contributing to this patri-otic fund. See one of the committee members or call at one of the banks or at one of the agencies where subscriptions are taken and leave your name and your contribution, .Your contribution k '; may be instrumental in sav uig the life of a sick or a wounded ....i.. y Remember this and make your dv.a--. tion as larg,e as you can. ., Bingham's allotment is $9,000 and we have only two days more to raise this amount You are expected to sub-scribe i per cent of the amount you Invested in .Liberty Bonds. If you pur-chased $100 worth of bonds you should contribute $1 to $5 to this fund.

OIKGHAM HAS A BIG '"; III lEill When Peace Was Announced Early Last Monday Morning The People Of The Camp Began To Celebrate Mayor Issues A Proclamation Chief Of Police Throws Open The Town-G-reat Mining Companies Give Half Holiday Lubeck's Band Furnishes Music And All Have Jubilant Time. Bright and early iMonday morning when most of the town was slumber-ing the news came that Germany had given up and that the efforts of the allied government had been crowned with victory. When jthe news struck the camp runners commenced scour-ing the town announcing at the top of their voice the glad tidings and the people aroused and began to stir. The stories of peace had been erron-eously announced so often that there were quite a number who were a little In doubt at first, but as soon as the news was verified everyone accepted it and joined in the revelry. In order that proper and fitting celebration might take place early in the morning iMayor Q. B. Kelly issued the following proclamation which was the signal fop increased merriment and Jubiliatlon: War Ends In Victory Tor Allies! Whereas the greatest war in history . ' wherein the German war lords, fight-ing for world dominion, and the na-tions of Great Britain, France, Bel-glu- Italy, Serbia, Greeca, and the United States were allied to defend civilization, ends today, with the cen-tral powers brought to their knees, ( and victory perching on the banners of the allies, Now, therefore to make proper rec-ognition of this great event, the most far reaching' in history, a public holi- - day is hereby declared, and all busi-ne- ss houses are requested to elate and participate in-- the celebration. The world has been made safe for liberty and civilization, and every American's heart beats with pride at the grand result, and for the part he or she has played, under th Start, and Stripe. .;. Given under my hand and the seat of the Town of Bingham, this 11th , day of November, A. D., 1918. i Q. IB. KFJ-iLY- , I Attest: Mayor,. ' "' ' City Clerk. Following the issuing of the pro clamation Chief of Police A. E, Pautsch, who has a son on the battle front In France, threw open the town and asked all to enjoy themselves in the full spirit of the occasion. The next thing the miners and lab- - , orers began pouring down from the hill because the great mining compa-nies had joined In and gave their em-ployes a half holiday. The town was soon crowded with people, all in the happiest mood. It has been a long time since such a large and good hum-ored crowd has been seen in the old camp. Everybody was happy, the crowds marched through the canyon cheering the occasion, great flags of America and the allied nations were floating from all automobiles which entered and departed from the camp and business of every kind wa prac-tically eunpended It was one of the happiest days ever recorded In Blrghnm. IH01 and there could be heard people saying that this was a day, the like of which would probably never again be wit-nessed In the old camp and that it was but right and proper that it should be celebrated well. During the day time the people marched up and down the street and talked to their neighbors about the glorious event. Many others went to Salt Lake to see what was going on in the big city. All had a good time ind everything passed off withont anyone being hurt. As night came on and the crowds became more and more jubilant and the occasion was further enlivened by some of the beft music ever heard In Blnghem. This music was furnished by Lubeck's Band The ten members who make up this band are A, W. Lubeck, Elnar Lubeck. Joe Kemp, John Anderson. Gus Johnson, Victor Fors. John Slotte, Victor vgren, William Johnson and Ells Llndstrom. They made music and lots of It. They assembled In front of the city hall at about dark, and the linked sweetness long drawn out began to make . the common air blossom with melody. As the beautiful music was wafted by the breezes through the canyon the crowds began to collect In the street and soon there must have been more than 1000 listeners. And out in the street the crowds began to dance. The dancers carried flags and their per-forming was Indeed amusing. And the band kept the music going without lmrdlv stopping to get their breath. It plaved such pieces as The Ktar Span-glo- d Banner; OMxte; Columbia; Mjr. Old Kentucky Home; Yankee Doodle: Over There, and many other patriotic airs. It seemed that the musician-- . knew all the good music prd knew well. Tlxy did not seem to tire and the was never worried for t!e lack of intisic. The music kept up for seveml horn and before the crowd dlnpersx on (Continued on page E) BINGHAM SOLDIER IS WOOiiD p 1 r"7 j ' j .... DELLVF. LEE i :, Dell F. (Lee, sen of Mr., and Mrs George E.

Another man objected to the robbery and a rough house resulted. Glass, furniture and various fixtures were smashed, but the men were not fight-ing with weapons and no serious per-sonal injury was reported in the cas-ualties. ONE MINUTE SERMON ON "REUGION AKD LIFE" (By Rev. Thomas J. Tramel, Pastor Bingham Community Church.) A large segment of the common people of the world conceive of re-- ' liglon as a bitter pill, to be swallow-ed rather than to be eternally damn-ed. This is because they have a wrong conception of religion. To these religion is a fire escape or a bitter remedy to be taken as an Inci-dental relief for some painful emer-- ' gency. Their choice would be to be religious rather than to be lost to a future state of bliss but they prefer not to be religious. . ' . This comes from a wrong concep-tion of the relation of religion to life. I First. Religion is thought of as a 'matter of repressing life. Whereas it should be thought of as a matter na-tive to life and a vital part of moral character. Not a formula for special occasions but an affair of everyday living. Not a bitter pill to be taken I only when the painful tragedies inter-- I upt the even course of everyday life, ' but the motive power back of the ' lasting achievement. Second. Religion is thought of as a leveling down process. 'A flattening i out of life. Youth and age are expect-ed to have Bn experience identical each to the other. No allowance is made for development which cornea from experience. As an example the efficient president of an old establish-ed banking Iioubo has a larger grasp of the business than the messenger boy of recent engagement with the business. The boy may through years of experience develop to be the most efficient of the two, but he needs the proper development along well Known lines. So too, with religion, there must be 'the development, and the unfolding of life. Third. The abundant life Is the de-sire of all normal minds. Old age and death come as a matter of course. They are accepted as the inevitable, but these we would defer. Why? Sim-ply because they limit and interupt the course of life. Religion, thought of as a vital part of the normal life, the evidence of the ripening of ma-ture character) is not a bitter Incident to lift, but a3 ever increasing Joy. . SEiMEfllE . One of the big celebrations of the week was the one held at Highland Boy yesterday by the patriotic Ser-bians. They had a genuine old fash-ioned barbecue and a royal feast They have been Intensely Interested in the war and have taken an active part In all war work because the very life of their nation and many people were In great danger. So they were highly gratified at the successful con-clusion of the war. And Instead of celebrating on the very day the news arrived they de-cided to make some preparations and have a celebration that was right. So one of their patriotic band started out to find an ox suitable for the occasion, one of the biggest and fat-test In the land. He waa located and brought to Ifighland Boy on Wednes-day evening and then arrangements were made for the barbecue. They had a big crowd and a happy one. They ate barbecue and rejoiced together over the great victory. The victory which means so much to them. It means that Serbia will be restored and that her wrongs will be made right. It also means the freedom of the Juga Slav, and that a new nation composed of a great people- will spring into life. The celebration they held Thursday was worthy of the occasion. The Ser-httM-nit over tiio world have render-- war aild they 8lltuid be rded. NEW WATER TANK JU8I COMPLETED The new town water tank in Mark-ham gulch has been completed and it Is now full of water. The tank is of 50.000 gallons capacity and was con-structed of the best material. In ad-dition to the tank 600 feet of new six inch pipe line leading from the tank to the main water channel has been built. '' This work was under the direction of William Rsbblns, the city water-master- , and he has turned out a splendid job. While the work was delayed at times on account of the great difficulty encountered In se-curing the necessary material the work was carried on to the best pos-sible advantage and Watermaster Robblns deserves much credit for the excellent manner in which he handled the Job' This tank will give the town a new and much needed water reserve for use in case of t 'tt or other emergen cy. The camp hut been a little short of water prior to lis, and even now It will not have v. tor to waste, bu'j will have a supply uniple for all ner essary needs. FATHER DISS SICK 'Rev. Father J. Diss has been con-fined to his room for the past week and is quite sick with the influenza. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. |
