Along A big high power salesman, sur-charged with natural Called at gas, the Plants quite recently ami promised to grow grass On cinders, concrete, asphalt, or even a tin roof, Showing some grass in a small box and offering that as proof. He claimed to be a "Doctor", and dean of a large college; A man of wide experience, cul-ture and great knowledge; A traveler and scholar, Btudent of birds and bees, ; Who has specialized and majored on the themes of grass and trees, Who once in far Tasmania, found Herbae Mira Grass, That needs no soil nor moisture, grows on concrete or on glass Grows on deserts or on icebergs, any place beneath the skies; A miracle of verdure, just as the name implies, And when the "Doctor" found this grass he straightway gained renown, Secured a big long "sucker list" and started "bearing down". He is a c'assy peddler, wo surely knows his s'uff, So smooth that an eel'g stomach alongside " him would feel rough, And when he called on Enrlemann , showing grass (the sample patch), Ed fell and placed an order, then sent him on to Hatch. He missed Hatch by a whisker, but gained audience with Mix j And quickly open up on Bert with I his whole bag of tricks, Showing his 'ittle sample lawn, giving Bert to understand That, in ten days, he would con-vert tailings to pasture land, Bert fell, and called up Moffat ft arrange an early date To close with this fluent stcanger" before it was too late, With this result, the strangerj ere another day did dawn, Sold Moffat seed 'nough to change the tai'iligs pond to lawn. . To Mix then fell the duty of plant-ing all this seed, For the gentle, fluent stranger im-pressed them with the need Of having every seed in'erred with infinite precision, " So Bert, unto this planting, gave careful supervision. And, when the job was finished, called Moffat on the phone Informing him that in one week, when these seeds would be grown, To bring his friends to the tail-ings pond, a happy hour to pass Enjoying picnic luncheon on the green and verdent grass. And then w:e all saw visions, and everyone dreamed dreams, Of seeing all the tailings pond con-verted into greens, All covered o'er with waving grass, luxuriant and deep, On which there would be pastured bands of contented sheep, Leaving a generous surplus, suf-ficient to allow Each employee of the company to keep a private .cow, But, best of a'l, no longer would the dust storms arise To irritate our nostrils and vex our throats and eyes. But now our hopes are blasted, l and our spirits are quite low; The tailings pond remains the same; on it no grass will grow, For this stranger was a faker, a man of guile and sin, Who, for a consideration, waited not to take us in, . And this wondrous Herbae Mire, as the stranger calls the seeds Are the generating factors of com-mon Utah weeds. Bert, Ed and Doug will not forget Doo Miller and his grass, Because they now, are listed in the ardent sucker class, And if you wish to stay a friend of any of these three, Don't mention Herbae Mira in his company. --rtsi'-.

The views of many citizens have been-aire- and with reference to the needs and requirements of our section of the ditriet. Particularly animated have been the discussions with reference to the location and construction of the proposed new high school building. , ., - ' . 80 far we have seen fit only to record the developments along this line, and it is not now our purpose to discus the merit or lack of merit of any particular location.We do, however, feel it our duty to the community to keep them informed of the exact condition which is confronting the patrons of th schools here. , ,1 At a time when Jordan District is being accused by a, member of the legislative tax committee, Mr, M. S. Jorgensen, of leaving more schol buildings than it will need for years to come and of wantonly wasting large amounts of money uneeessarily, we feel that we shauld inform those who are not familiar with the actual conditions, of the real statUB of the i! nation j We are reliably informed that there is not a schol id the entire district which is not overcrowded with pupils at the present time. What our readers are more vitally interested in of cours is the con-dition of our own schools. Those institutions located in oifr own sect-ion of the districJ.We grant that tXcre is a wide range of opinion the different patrons of the high school here a t where the school building should be locted, but to say that Bingham does not need a new high school building, one must either be totally ignorant of the facts or choose to ignore them all together. .; f't It was our privilegs last week to visit the Bingham Ifigh School with a view to geting 1J1 facts with regard to our need at fhis time, anul we present here with a few of our major observations with refer-en- c to th overci'owded conditions there. f, ' 1 All seventh grade pupils sent back to Copperfield, Coppertfon, Lark and Highland Boy because of the" lack of room. Also the eighth grade was sent back to Highland Boy for lae4c of room. This mean that 175 Junior high school students are being tught in the elementary grad-es and are being deprived of theJunior High School privileges. 2 The Art department forcd to occupy room in the old building be- - cause of the lack of space in the high school plant. 3 Six rooms of the old Contral Building which was condemmed and locked up five years ago are now being used for classes of high school students. 5 The average increase in the enrollment of th Senior IDgh School for the past five years has been thirty per year. The present' enrollment is 275 Seniors. The cpaci!(y of the present plant is 300 students and should the normal increase be maintained next year, there would be only sufficient rom to accomadate the Seniors. This would mean that Junior High School pupils would have to be excluded in order to take care of the Seniors. , A very grave crisis is rpidly approoaching in the high school situ-ation. If you have been decieved by someone in regrd to tdiis fact, do a little investigating and lern of the exact conditions of your own free will. bt Arthur BrUban He Warship Question Cheaper Cars Coming? !

Bingham and the Utah Copper Company are justly proud of the wonderful achievements of these toys pictured above. ' The chance for Bingham to go to the international meet came by virtue of their defeat of the Arthur team at Lagon on Utah Copper Day. This victory and the training they underwent) prior to the contes under Me Dermott and Garrity were very important item in enbling them to be the success-ful team at'Kansan City. " Decorated witl ribbons and med 'als and bringing with them the International Grand Prize which is a magnificent silver loving cup the Interntional Champions came home to Bingham. This cup properly incsribed will be placed upon exhibition at the Gemrael Memorial Club where it will be one of She choicest of a large coll-ection of trophies on display. It will indeed be a great soucce cf pride to all of residents of the Coper district as wel aa to the men who won it. We join with the others in to the boys a most hearty w elcome home and our most sin-er- e congratulations. They have deed brought honor to their uiployers, to their homes town :td to their state. 2 SAFETY FIRST : Whaf greater responsibility does a community have than the preservation of human life T The Safety First movement haa taugh' us that most accidents are pre-ventable. Carlesness accounts for the destroying of thousands of hu-man lives annua'ly, through acci-dents that eould be reduced o a minimum if we would all practice the habit of "safety first" in our daily lives. , f , : . , During the past score of years there has been a rapidly growing accidental death rate, due to the increasing number of motor cars on our s'reets and highways. It is unfortunate ' that this great boon to human kind should, thru carelesnesa be the accidental cause of so much unnecessary pain and grief. The automobi'e itself can-not be blamed it ,is the owners ( nd drivers who must be held ac-countable. Adherence to" the safe-ty first movement would mean a tremendous reduction in the loss of life through automobile acci-dents. Common sense on ttie part of the driver would reduce this hazard. A man who takes unnec-essary chances, such as trying to beat a train at the crossing should have his license revoked. If the owner would inspect his car with the care that a railroad engineer checks his 'ocomotive, or an avia-tor checks his airplane, fewer peo-ple would be killed in automobile accidents. Poor lights, faulty brakes, or steering gear, lack of safety devices such as tire chains, horn, etc may all result in acc-ident, even with a careful driver, and the remedy for this is fre-quent inspection and occasional repairs. Fire is another danger that may be avoided through proper pre-cautions. Matches should be kept out of reach of young children. In-flammable cleaning fluids should never, minder any circumstances be used or stored near a fire. Op-en fires should be screened. Elec-trical wiring should be properly insulated and should occasionally be inspee'ed. Gas burners should be tightly turned off when not in use.See that a match is really out before it is thrown away and also cigarettes and cigars. Carelessness in this respect has caused innum-erable fires. Think of the people you know-tha- t have been victimes of acci-dents. Read the papers and make a note of the accidents reported resu'ting in injuries or death. No-ih- e carelesnes of some one. You say to yourself, " If she had waited a moment to cross the street, she would be alive today". Or, "if that little cut on his fing-er had been treated at once, his hand would have been saved," or, tice how many of them are due to "That mother should have knowto l etter than to have left the room. That is just it, we should all know-better- . .We shou'd all practice the sensible precaution of "safety iir-t- in little things, as well ar big. In Chis respect, each of us - his broO.or's keeper. So l.r u i f mi ii'ber tl at somet imes the least carelessness can cause the liigyest disaster, and make up our minds that will not be responsible for any i eedless accident ROAD IMPROVEMENT The state highway to Bingham is recieving atention and consider-able work is being done along the right of way near the mouth of the canyon. Teams and men are leeling the grade on each side of the road to conform with the rest of the slope on the road. This improvement adds much to the salety and convenience of . the traveling public. The city is doing much needed improvements on the streets of Bingham. The numerous summer rains had made the dirt roads in the canyon almost impassable. Thes e roads are now recieving a covering of crushed rock which everyone are thankful for. BINGHAM SCOUTS BACK FROM TRIP Forty-si- x Bingham Scouts and their leaders have returned from an eight day encampment held at Washington Lake. Leaders were Leo Sundberg, Copperton; Walter Scott, Copperfield; Gene Pace, Carr Fork;; Ole Jensen, M. R Church Troop; D; Burmingham L. 1). S. Troop; A. W. Elvin dist, Manager. An average of 1G0 boys from all parts of the state were at the camp. W. B. Hawkins was camp director and Dr. J. II. Paul was camp Naturalist. Tropp 105, Centerville took the first place in the inspection con-test for the camp. Copperton took first place for the Bingham Dist-rict. Hiking trips were taken to Bald Mountain and Mirror Lake. The boys all declare they had a wonderful trip., . COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Church School 10 a. m. Morn-ing Worship and sermon, 11 a. m.

Chester Morse of Ogden, newly elected district deputy will be a visitor and speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon tonight. Judge E. A. Rogers of Salt Lake will deliver an address on the Constitution of the Ujiited Slates, the anniversary of which this meeting is to be devoted. Mc CLENEGHAN WGiS RE-Apponm- eii At the conclusion of the Utah jission of the Methodist Episco-pal Church which closed at Ogden n September 1st. Reverend Wal-i-- r A. Mc Cleneghan, minister of ' he Community ehurch here for he past year was re appointed or another year. While the actual ppointing power is in the hands ( the presiding bishop, the app-ointments were determined large--y by recommendation of the misa-o-n superintendent and the wishes f the people. The Community Church here is sst what the name implies, even ho it is under the supervision of he Methodist Episcopal Church. n Utah as in several other west-r- n states, all the larger protest-n- d churches have an agree-ment whereby all of the territory if a state outside of the larger Hies is divided between the diff-erent denominations. For example n territory assigned to the Pres-byterians no other, denomination will establish work. Thus the xrea.t waste caused by competition if denominations and unwise ex-penditures of missionary money .as been eliminated. Under that igreement the responsibility for til Protestant religious work in .ingham Canyon has been assign-ed to the Methodist Church. That Church undertakes to supply a minister, aid in the upkeep of the hurch property, and to give neo-ssa- ry missionary support. But .lembers of many different Pro-.itita- nt denominations belong to .':d work in the Community Chnrch and make it the center of iheir religious activity. All who will are heartily welcome to join with the Community Church in worship and in service. ' ("II .
