Being Just a Few Remarks on the Other Side of the Peddler and Mail Order Situation. Many have accused the Press-Bulleti- n of being too harsh with the ped-dlers and mail order houses, that it isn't alone the fault of the people, but of the merchants themselves, and so for the benefit of those who feel we hit too hard, the following few lir.es are written ,and before starting let iX be said, the different branches of r.crehandising, and the different lines irjoken of are purely mythical. So in starting, lot us address this to the merchants instead of the consumers. Do ycu often bemoan the fact that the buying public in this locality is going to other towns to trade, or is sending away to sor.e large city, store or mail order house for the goods you could furnish them? Do you feel that those people are doing you and your town an injustice by doing this? Do you ever talk these things over with civic organizations, and with your fellow merchants? Do you subscribe to methods and .schemes to induce buyers of this coriinnii-.it- to do rhe:r trading at h'itiu and thus help to build up the own"' Do you have spec.nl articles writ-ten and published in the local papers explaining the whys and wherefores thie people should not spend their li.oney cut of the community ? Aren't you kidding yourself un-mercifully and don't you know it? And then, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE ALL THAT YOU SAY TO YOUR FELLOW MERCH-ANTS AND WHAT THEY SAY TO YOU, AND DO ALL YOUR OWN BUYING AT HOME, JUST AS FAR AS IT IS POSSIBLE? Didn't the shoe man buy his shirts from a peddler? . Doesn't your wife say: "I can do better in Salt Lake City?" Don't your friends say "They sure have a better selection of clothes in Salt Lake City? And when they say that, what do you say? Do you say, "I guess you can, our merchants are not quite up to the mark," or do you say, "Stick to the home town suggest improve-ments if things are wrong be pat-riotic." Well, I wonder. ' If you don't know, you ought to, that when you, your wife or any of your family buy anything out of town, other people know it. You must realize that the freight man is not quite totally blind, deaf and dumb. What does he say when you remark that there is a pile of freight or express coming into town? I'll tell you. He says: "Yes, you bet there is, but there's a H of a lot of it that is going into private houses, and into the business men's houses too." How do you like that? Then "you know the mailman can talk, too. He does so. Why shouldn't they tell? Isn't it a good joke that the home boosters should be buying outside? Maybe you think you can hide your guilt by carrying the goods home. Don't fool yourself. When you beat it home with a satchel in your hand or you start carrying bundles in from the car people get mighty curious. If their curiosity isn't- satisfied they get suspicious. You can't get away with it not for long, anyway. What do you think? REGISTRATION AT BINGHAJVLSGHOOLS Monday, August 31 1. Registration begins at 9 o'clock and closes 3:30 o'clock.1 For both elementary and high school students). Tuesday, September 1 1. Continuation of registration for students from Freshman year to sen-ior year inclusive. 2. Class work begins for students from Grades 1 to 8 inclusive. Wednesday, September 2 1. Class work begins for students from Freshman to Senior year inclu-sive, (High School.) Note: The school officials are very desirous that parents have all stu-dents who possibly can register Mon-day, August 31st. Without failure both elementary and high school stu-dents should be registered by 3:30 Tuesday, September 1st. High school students who register-ed after this date will be required to pay a registration fee of $1.00. More serious than the payment of the fee, however, is the time and interest lost by students who enter late. It is very difficult for late entrants to catch up with the other students. The result is that the student is behind in his work throughout the entire school year. Moreover the failure of many students may be traced to late regis-tration. They get behind and thus loose interest and become discourag-ed. The result is failure. The school officials earnestly so-licit the cooperation of parents in getting all students registered by Tuesday, September 1st. You Helping Your IAre Candidate to Win Big Prize? The following is the standing of the candidates in the Bulletin's Big Prize Campaign. There are only a few more short weeks in which to help your favorite candidate win.

The Big Campaign is Just in its Infancy. THEY ARE OFF! The bars are up, the track is clear, and everyone of the ambitious and enteYprising candidates in the Press-Bulletin- 's big auto-mobile prize campaign has "right of way." The preliminaries are now over, and the race for rich prizes headed by a splendid Ford Coupe, worth $644.20, is now on in earnest. In this issue will be found the second published cast for each up to Wednesday noon of this week. Each competitor has started in the race with a vim, determined to win or to know the reason why, and the battle royal now in evidence, is attracting county-wid- e attention. Several of the most aggressive hustlers have started in the race with a goodly number of votes to their credit, but the leaders of today do not necessarily indicate the winners by any means, as four and a half weeks re-main to bridge the chasm now existing between the highest and those having the fewest votes. Don't become discouraged because you are not at the head of the list in today's vote count. The campaign is now just in its in-fancy, and there is not a single candidate among those listed who could not, if the proper interest and effort were put into the matter, secure enough votes and subscriptions by this time next week, to lead the entire field. When one., takes into consideration the fact that 50,000 SPECIAL EXTRA votes are allowed on each "club" of $20 in subscriptions turned in, in addition to the regular number of votes allowed on each subscription, it can readily be seen how high vote totals are obtainable, and that no one, so far, has a "walk-away- " for the prize Ford Coupe. TIME IS LIMITED GET BUSY! Now is the time for those who are competing in this race to "make the dust fly." Only one week after this week remains during which to secure the big votes on subscriptions. After Sept. 5th there is a material decrease in the schedule of votes; and, after Sept. 19th, there is still a further de-cline in the scale of votes in fact, it is cut almost in half. Our best advice to those who wish to win, is to hurry every available subscription to the campaign department NOW while the big votes are in effect. Not to do so simply means that you are throwing golden chances away chances that may bring you the Ford Coupe a free vacation trip to California, of something else equally attractive. Get in the race with a shout, for you're off in a bunch ,and MAY THE BEST CANDIDATE WIN! Enter now and win there is no denial without a -- ial. , ISIS OPENING ATTRACTS MAN! Hundreds of People Attend Opening Ceremonies of Bingham Canyon's Newest Movie. Mayor Straup Talks. Hundreds of people attended the opening of the Isis Theater Saturday evening of last week, the huge audi-torium being taxed to its capacity, while many were forced to stand in the lobby and foyer. Prominent speakers from Salt Lake City and Bingham Canyon gave short talks, while the vocal numbers ren-dered by Miss Thelma Brown and Mr. C. W. Summerhays of New York City added greatly to the festive eve-ning. v Professor1 Manthagas of" Salt' Lake City gave the opening talk, telling what the theater meant to Bingham Canyon. United States District At-torney,, Charles Morris, in a few well chosen remarks, told of Mr. John Kerikas' achievements in Salt Lake City, and then introduced Mayor F. E. Straup of Bingham Canyon. Mayor Straup, in his remarks, laid consider-able stress upon the wonderful edi-fice, congratulating Mr. Kerikas, the owner, upon his faith in Bingham Canyon, and also congratulated the people of the camp in having such a wonderful playhouse. In closing his remarks he stated the folks of Bing-ham Canyon need never go to Salt Lake for their entertainment, and sin-cerely hoped the time was not far distant when the people of the Utau Metropolis would come to Bingham Canyon "because the people of Bing-ham Canyon would not go to Salt Lake City." The feature picture of the evening, "Charley's Aunt," with Sid Chaplin, proved to be one of the best com-edies ever seen in Bingham Canyon. The orchestra under the supervision offered manyclcver selections during the evening, with Mrs. M. L. Jones accompanying the soloists. Mr. Andrew Kostopoulos, manager of the new theater, announced during the week that only first run pictures would be shown, and for the greater part most of the pictures shown would be 1925 productions. Figure This Out for Yourself I It Is Very Easy to Secure 500,000 Votes Ten Friends Will Help You B Turn the Trick H I Here's an example of how easy it is to secure 500,000 votes in g this campaign. B 25,000 votes are allowed on each subscription (new or re- - g newal) to the Press-Bulleti- n, providing the same is turned in before M the close of the "first period" terminating Saturday night, Sept. 5. Ten such subscriptions (amounting to $100.00 in business) would entitle you to 250,000 regular votes. And according to the offer of B m issuing 50,000 Special Extra votes on every "club" of $20 turne'd in 9 ($100 constitutes ten complete clubs) making 250,000 Special votes Q plus 250,000 Regular votes, or a grand total of 500,000 votes. E Therefore, ten such subscriptions, or approximately its equivalent I in shorter term orders, would mean half a million votes. Easy enough B isn't it? $j Haven't you ten friends who would help you to the extent of a subscription to the Press-Bulleti- n (only $10) toward helping 8 ! you win that splendid, brand new 1925 model Ford Coupe worth H $644.20? Surely you have. Try it and see! B REV. MITCHELL TO LEAVE CAMP Pastor of Community Methodist Church Called to Continue Confer-ence Work. Here 18 Months. 'Rev" Samuel Mitchell, pastor of the Community Methodist Church of Bingham Canyon for the past eigh-teen months, left Thursday of this week for Ogden, where he will at-tend the Utah Mission Conference before leaving the state to continue with regular Conference work. No successor has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the leaving of Rev. Mitchell, although it was an-nounced the new minister would be on hand for Sunday's services. Rev. Mitchell came to Bingham Canyon in March, 1924, and has been a diligent worker since his arrival. At his instigation many new clubs for the younger folks have been organiz-ed in church circles, and it was thru his efforts that the Boy Scout move-ment has been such a success in Bingham Canyon. He it was who or-ganized the Highland Boy and Cop perfield troops, two of the strongest in the district. As a member of the Kiwanis Club, Reverend Mitchell has given much of his time as chairman of the publicity department, and through his efforts the local club has received much pub-licity. Rev. Mitchell has been in Utah Missionary work for the past five years, but at this writing has not been appointed to his new field of Con-ference work. His many friends in Bingham Can-yon wish him only success in his new field of endeavor. LEAVES FOR SCHOOL Nephi Dowdell, for the past three years a member of the Utah Copper baseball team, and one of the popular young men of the town left Monday afternoon for Marion, Ohio, where he will study at the Marion Steam Shovel Training School, starting his appren-ticeship, and it is his intention to re-main the four years before returning to Bingham Canyon. Mr. Dowdell put in his application for the apprenticeship 20 months ago, and only recently did he get action, and' although he stated he hated to leave the little ol' town on the hill, never-the-le- he felt he could learn more at Marion, so thus the change. During the baseball season coming to a close, Dowdell acted in the ca-pacity of utility infielder, and that he made good is shown in the fact that he connected safely 8 times in the last fifteen trips to the plate. He was joined at Salt Lake City Tuesday morning by Dr. Cain, who is making a trip east, and the two will complete the journey overland. The many friends of "Neph" Dowdell wish him success in his new undertaking. STAGE IS SET FORFALLTERM Opening of School on Monday to Bring Many New Faces Eager to Grasp Tree of Knowledge. The Bingham Canyon schools be-gin the fall term on Monday next. The summer has been warm but on the whole quite refreshing. Many Bingham Canyon people have return-ed from vacations, and many of them bring children back from the land of summer dreams to the realities of class room routine. But the children are ready. They will hustle about to get books, tablets, pencils and "pen swabbers" as eagerly as they sought last spring to acquire baseballs and camping kits. It is a wholesome social institu-tion the public school. It calls to work when work is done, and relieves to play when play is earned. The teachers as a class, provide a moral tone that cannot be equaled outside the church and home. The teachers are the joint guardians of future adult citizens. Who does not harken back with joy to school days where noble impressions are indelibly writ-ten into the book of life! Bingham Canyon may well be proud of its school system and those who direct the education of its youth. LAUGH THESE OFF "What's the string around your fin-ger for?" "My wife put it there to remind me to mail her letter." "And did you do it?" "No, she forgot to give it to me." "Cohen, I've lost my pocketbook." "Haf you looked in all your pock-ets?" "Sure, all but der left hand hip pocket." "Vel, vy don't you look in it?" "Because if it ain't dere, I'll drop dead." A native of Egypt who had been taught English overstayed his leave of absence, and wrote his chief in this wise: "My absence is impossible. Some one has removed my wife. My God I am annoyed." A dog was sitting on the roadside howling. "What's the matter with the dog?" a traveler asked a rustic. "Laziness," yawned the farmer. "Laziness?" echoed the traveler, as-tonished. "Yes, sir," replied the rustic. "He's sittin' on a thistle and he's too damn lazy to move." A farmer boy had spent a sultry half hour hauling and driving a calf towards the barn. Just then a steer dashed past headed for the pasture, and the calf followed. "Go to thun- - der, you darn fool," muttered the boy. "You'll know the difference when supper time comes around. ATTENTION ASKED OFSCHOPTOONS Superintendent of Schools D. C. Jen-sen Asks Cooperation During Reg-istration Period. Following is a letter received dur-ing the past week by Superintendent D. C. Jensen of the Jordan School District, relative to the starting of school : "Jordan District Schools will open Monday, August 31st, Every child in the District of school age should re-port promptly at 9 a.m. for registra-tion, high school students as well as grade students. The student who enters late is al- - ways at a disadvantage. He works a hardship upon himself, the teacher, the other children, and the taxpayer. On himself, because he puts himself behind his class from the beginning; on the teacher, because she must spend extra time and effort to try to bring him up to grade; on the other children, because he is a drag in the class and tends to retard them all and to take the teacher's time which be-longs to all alike; on the taxpayer be-cause he is frequently retained in his grade and has to repeat the grade, thus costing the taxpayer two years of expense to complete one year of work. This is unfair to the pupil who enters late, to the teacher, to the oth-er children, and to the taxpayer. Let us be fair to everybody and register on the first morning of school. We are opening early, and wish to cooperate with the farmers when the beet harvest comes on. D. C. JENSEN, Supt. of Schools. ARIELS AT CLUB The Ariel eight will be in attend-ance at the Gemmell Memorial Club House tonight (Friday), in what is promised to be one of the biggest dances ever given for the members of the famous club.

ETHEL WATKINS IS TAKEN TO SALT LAKE HOSPITAL Miss Ethel Watkins, who fell from a truck last week and was supposed to have received a vroken arm, was taken to" St. Marks hospital during the past week, an X-r- examination showing a compound fracture.

Mr. Bihler declared that they can all rave about California, but Bingham Canyon looks good to him. GETTING FIXED UP That the Bingham,Garage and Stor-age will be one of the best in the state is being made manifest these days, as the final preparations are nearing completion.
