Chairman VBon-n- y " Jones, entertainment com-mittee, have been working hard to make this performance one o the- most pleasing to club inem-he-rs and friends, and that they have succeeded is evidenced by the well known east of perform-ers who appear on the program. CADETS: RECEIVE CHARTER The Charter for Bii:gham sec-tion American Air Cadets has been received and members are being enrolled. Many of the youths of Bingham are enthusias-tic over the prospects of the in-formation and work and fun they are to have in the study ami practice of air navigation. Mr. M. L.

BINGHAM MINE MAY MOVE CAMP Bingham Metals Has Opportunity for Entry at Much Lower Depth A special' meeting of Bingham Metals company stockholders has been called for April 17th by President and Manager W. II. Mitchell to consider the question, of transferring the company's base of operations from the Nash tunnel lo the Armstrong tunnel of the Utah Copper company, for a cash consideration of $10,000. The change will confer numer-ous valuable benefits on the Bing-ham Metals company, according to President anil .Manager W. II. Mitchell. Six hundred and sixty feet of hoisting will be eliminat-ed. The Bingham Metals will have but one shaft to maintain, its main vertical 'shaft, instead of maintaining one vertical and one incline shaft, as at present. Ores of the company will be dumped directly into a railroad ear and the present wagon haul of one mile done away with. The Ci'.mp will be moved from i.is present situation near the Nash tunnel down to the townsite at Highland Boy, which will mean less trouble with snow in the win-ter time. The necessity of assess-ing stockholder! to deepen the shaft to the 1,100-foo- t level will no longer exist. Ten thousand dollars has been placed in escrow by the Utah Copper in a Salt Lake City hank pending the ratification of a con-tract. Bingham Metals company holdings lie adjoining to the Utah Copper and the sum of $1,000 is to be paid for dumping rights grant-ed to the Utah Copper by Metals. The Utah Cop-per agrees to advance the Arm-strong tunnel into Bingham Metals ground for a connection with the Bingham Metals shaft on the 6G0-fo-level. In the light of these advantages it is believed the deal will be rati-- ! fied and moving of the camp start-ed soon after. The Utah Copper company binds hself to start work within thirty days after ratifica-tion of the deal. The Armstrong tunnel will have to be advanced 1,150 feet to connect with Bing-ham Metals company shaft. Per- - petual entry will be granted under the terms of the contract. In the meantime, the Bingham Metals is going ahead steadily shipping ore and sinking its tun-nel. Last month, three carloads of ore were shipped. The shaft has been sunk to the 1,020-foo- t level and will be continued to the 1,1000. Drifting will then be be-gun to open the ore bodies produc-tive from the 900-fo- level and up on the 1,000 and 1,100-foo- t levels. Gibson Berry, "former . Nevada operator, is superintendent at the Bingham Metals. Mr. Berry was secured from the International Smelting company staff( when Robert Goodwin, superintendent of the Bingham Metals, resigned to become superintendent at the Ohio Copper. V hile working tor the International, Mr. Berry was in charge of operations at the East Park City holdings of the company. UTAH COPPER BUYS SUPPLY OF WATER For a consideration of $27",-00- 0 the Utah Copper Company has purchased a supply of water from the Utah Metal and Tunnel .Company. This announcement was made tiiis week by Assistant General Manager D. 1). Moffat ,of the Utah Copper Company, The water supply, which is de-- j veloped underground in the mines of the Utah Metal and Tun-nel company in the Highland Boy section of the Bingham District has been used by the Utah Cop-per company under lease and rental agreements for a number of years, Mr. Moffat said. A steady flow is maintained j throughout the year from this if.ouree, according to Mr. Moffat for use in the company's plant, to supply locomotives and other steam machinery. It is not to In, used for culinary purposes and no additions to the distributing system are contemplated. . 6r Arthur. BrUban Mexico's Great Future "' A Long Ride Ten New Commandments A New Gangster Killing DECENT visits to Mexico convince fx thlB writer that to belp In building Mexico's prosperity would be one way to build up United States prosperity. The Mexicans possess an empire of unsurpassed beauty, fertility, mineral and other wealth. The Mexican peo-ple are hard, patient and skillful workers, and hundreds of thousands I of Mexicans could, and gladly would, I learn mechanical skilled trades, well paid. I Some of the billions that our bank- - , ers lend so cheerfully to Europe, not always to get them back, could be lent I to greater advantage and more safely, ? to Mexico. To help In building a j greater and wealthier Mexico would J be to create new and rich markets i for the United States. ' Every new good road In Mexico j would mean many American autonio- - J biles sold. Every Mexican, helped by s credit to attain prosperity, would mean a new customer for American made goods, pending the building up all industries in Mexico. This Is the continent that interests And the nations that should have sincere and generous our nearest neighbors, Canada on iiot north, Mexico on the south. To north and south, with the aid of unlimited wealth, the honor and friendship of these two would be to make this American continent forever to attack. Thls Is a land of long distance. To--, day's run of 800 alios Is. an average trip. Presently, when the new high-- way is built, from Seattle, along the Pacific, through Washington, Oregon, California, Mexico and on down to . Panama, you will be able to take a long ride out here. About one thousand miles. In a straight line, on perfect roads, is all you oan do at present The unemployment problem is vis- - lble, even on desert roads. Men seek- - ' i ln work, walk wearily, the young V Loen carrying nothing. The older men, familiar with a hard life, carry heavy ( bundles, often' as big as the man, bed- - f ilng, extra shoes, clothes, etc. Thoir lot Is made harder by the wave of i crime, which makes automobile drlv-- ers afraid to carry their less fortunate ' fellow men. Stories of good-nature-drivers, robbed, or shot and robbed as a result, of "giving a lift" caused the majority to harden their hearts and drive on.-- " Will Hays, who knows what 99 per cent of Americans want, promulgates a new picture morale code to meet the "talkie" emergency. The audiences of 22,000 theatres In this country, and -- ' 250,000,000 human being thct see ' American pictures weekly throughout , , s" the .world are not to be corrupted. '' riTVyinpathy with crime, no pre 4 mentation of crime heroes. Law must not be ridiculed. This in-cludes prohibition. Marriage and the home must be held sacred. Adultry never Justified. No white slavery, no sex abomina-tions. No ridiculing of religion or clergy-men. No "pointed profanity." No obscenity, no dances including movements that could reasonably be called obscene. Cruelty to children and others, third degree torture, electrocutions, hang-ings, must be treated carefully Moses, coming down from the moun- - tain, conld hardly do better. And the new code of morale Is accepted volun-tarily by the motion picture industry. The motion picture magnates were wise when they selected Will Hays to keep them on the straight moral ;' path. V Without Interfering with Will Hays' moral code, It is permissible to tell of a new gangs teHnsIde-- k tiling plan. Novelty has its charm. Charles M. Curry and Harry Morhan decided that the time had come to kill and rob their partner, Angelo Freni. They had Freni carry a shovel to an auomobile, telling him he was to dig up some burled "soup," a high explos- - ' rve to be used on a bank vault In the automobile they beat him to death, us they supposed, then burled him, using i ; the shovel to dig his grave. " 'I Freni, who had only pretended to ' be dead, and was put In a shallow hole, dug his way out, and the would-- . be killers confess. Freni, In the hos-pital. Is proud to be the only man ; ever dead, burled and self exhumed. ' His mates confess, and he must go to if I Jail with them later. They told all ' . about his crimes. That "honor among thieves" seems to lack essential qual--s lUes. I i - There is terrible waste In our squandering of oil resources. Compe-- ' tltlve drilling, unnecessary number of f wells might be avoided by under government direction. I'i ' i the Santa Fe Springs oil region, about i ' Los Angeles, at least $100,000(0u0 ; might have been saved on needless ' drilling alone and the waste of gas Is frightful, and thus far unavoidable. . Each 4,000 barrel well In Kettleman Hills pours out 100,000,000 cubic feet - """!Ui daily, practically all wasted.

AN INNOVATION In this day of viiamine, protein, calories, dieting, reducing and normalizing, the big ' innovation is the one "no one can see" scales being placed in stores, door-way- s and all available places, especia-lly for the use of the fair ones and others who happen to be for .ver in doubt about just how or what they arc. For a penny a day you can make a record of your gains and losses which you can preserve ana u aesireu may oe nanueu .town to posterity for its' guid-ance and as a sort of equalibrum. j MORE DELAY i Just about the time the Cov- -' eminent begins to fix to start to ' begin to commence to get ready 'to build the new Salt Lake I'ost Office, someone or some organiza-tion tries to help put it over and so it has gone on for the past two years. According to a telegram receiv-ed from Senator Keed Smoot last Thursday, the Government is g to. accept the recommen-dation of its' .inspector, William Arthur Newman in the matter of location and price to be paid for the required site. This means another indefinite delay in the commencement of construction, not only of the Salt Lake P. O., but also of the Bingham and Price proposed new. Post! Offices. It is unfortunate that a situa-tion like this has arisen, especial-ly when the need for both the buildings and the employment their construction would give, is so appearant. It seems a ease of 'passing the buck" from one to the other of the several depart-ments and functionaries having to do with making the decisions and supplying the necessary funds. Mr. and Mrs. W. 11. Harris visited relatives in Provo Tues-day. ( Mr. and Mrs. George Robbe en-tertained at dinner Friday eve-ning. A bowl of tea roses ador-ed the table as a centerpiece.

HOW TARIFFS ARE MADE Many American newspapers,! of all political leanings, seem to be of the opinion that the forth-coming tariff bill will be the re-sult, not of statesmanship, but of g politics. This accounts for 'the miracu-lous turns-about-fa- made by several Senators. Senator A, representing a corn district, td!s Senator B, whose constituents are primarily interested in leather, that if B will vote for an inereas-- ed tariff on' corn, A will oblige when it comes to leather. And so it goes. This is of course, good politics. But it is doubtful if it can pro-duce a model tariff bill. COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Palm Sunday. April 13th.
