BANQUET GREAT SUCCESS.

and trustees in honor of Prof Jos. a

entire success All who had ever file,
the Office Of trustee or who had laugh
school here were invited, and bette
crowd OF citizens never graced ban
quct hall.
The decorations at the pavilion were
beautiful and were exquistely arranged
Ferns were there in profusion, festoOn,
Of which were draped from pillar tC
pillar, forming a canopy over the
tables of beautiful green. Boquets OF
beautiful carnation and fern added lus-
tire to the tables. while the music stand
was veritable garden of potted
palms, geraneums, etc. with a back
grounds Of the national colors. All in
all the decorations were the most beau
tiful ever,
Much credit Is due Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard JeX for the success of this part
Of the entertainments | have got
through the decorations, but my pen
balks in my attempt to describe the
menu served at the tables. The Second
ward boquet committee served it that
is a guarantee OF excellence, but they
really outdid themselves iu the prepar,
alton Of this feast Any literary effort
would pale into insigniticance when the
feast itself was beheld Honest, moth,
ing could do it justice, save the 200 odd
hungry mounths that appreciated every
morsel swallowed-and they ate to ex.
ceeding fullness thereat.
The teachers ate a portion of the
remains next day for dinner.-Thanks
to the End ward committee who are
fast learning the road to the heart of
man.
The program was gem. Every
number was rendered with enthusiasm
and ability.
Principal Greer gave one of his char
addresses of welcome which
charged the air to Overlooking with en-.
and no doubt had something
to do with the earth quake at California.
The teachers, High school, and eighth
grade had purchased beautiful enlarged
pictures of Professors Rees and Brim-
hall and they stood on easles draped
with the American flag, around the pro
fusion of flowers on the music stand
At the close of Mr.. Creer's address he
Mr.. d. I. Lewis, who in a
few well chosen words made the pre-
speech.
: Both guests were surprised and in
their responses both felt fattered at
having their pictures placed in the dis
trict school buildings to serve as
source of inspiration to the boys and
girls of Spanish Fork.
Mr.. John S. johnson rendered
beautiful clarionet solo.
The Second Ward Glee Club furnished
4 quartet, and Mrs, Annie Rowe Beck
sang solo.
County Supt. Eggertson responded
70 the toast: Spanish Fork and its
Greatness. He said Spanish Fork was
abreast with the county but would yet
cad the state.
After the banquet and program at
City pavilion the crowd adjourned to
he Pack Bros, pavilion where all the
patrons of the public schools were en-
in danding till the we sma'
hours.
The only regretable feature OF the
evening was the bad behavior of the
weather man, who caused an incessant
iownpour of rain during most of the
evening,
That banquet was an inspiration for
the present and its echoes will be heard
in the history of the future,

GRIEF AT NEpHI.

| " JULIET n ~ III IL
In the Inter Mountain Republi
publican of last Sunday we find al
editorial in which that progressiv,
journal kindly extends the hand OF
brotherly love to the Nephi Record
which seems to be in deep trouble
with the commercial club Of that
thriving little city. The club even
announces that it is ready to
back up any new publisher who
will come to Nephi and start a
rival paper. The whole trouble
no doubt was started by some
wind-bag who immagines he knows
it all, and especially how to run Il
newspaper. IL is not at all an in
frequent occurrence for some
brainless ass to announce that he
will do certain things for paper,
when in reality his promises only
amount to so much wind. We have
watched The Record and the sup.
port it gets for some time, and we
are certain the town gets all it de-
serves - considering the support.
When anyone has a kick coming
at his local paper for not being up
to.date, let him first of all measure
the support the paper gets. For
instance, the subscription money
will pay for the blank paper,
freight and express on same, ink
and machine oil for the press The
advertising pays the typesetters
and reporters, Office rent, coal and
coal oil, and replacing WORKOUT
type and machinery, When any
one thinks his local paper is not
serving his town right let him first
of all go to the printing office or
the merchants and find out what
the advertising amounts to each
month, and then figure the expense
of getting the paper out at nothing
less than $40 for each page of home
print each week; after this is done
you may easily decide whether the
paper is as good as the support,and
remember you have no business
expecting something for nothing.
The job printing has nothing
whater to do with the paper. Some
people are very ungrateful to their
local printer; they will bring you
say one-dollar job of printing
and expect you to throw in a cou-
Pile of dollars worth of newspaper
Advertising.

Fire in Washington

An explosion OF tanks containing
thousands of gallons Of kerosene aud
gasoline was only averted by the prompt
action of the fire department when the
stables of the Standard Oil Company, at
Half and X strce,s southeast, Washing
ton, were burned last night at 1918,
destroying seventeen horses and severely
burning three others The aggregate
loss is estimated at 81, 600
Roaring flames, fed by the dry 10 lder
in the stables, were LEAF ing high in the
air, now aud then STOPPING until they
almost licked the summit Of a Cyliadrl
cal oil tank not thirty feet away, which
was filled with 5000 gallons of kero-
sene. Immediately adjacent to the first
tank was another Of similar size, while
200 feet away was a tank containing 80,
900 gallons OF gasoline.
People in the neighborhOod became
panic-stricken as the imminence OF the
flames to the tanks became more and
more apparent, and the dangers of A
terrific explosion were realized, and the
greatest relief was experienced when It
Was seen that the Ere was under control.
