An Effort is Being Made to Forws

A movement is already veil un-
der way for the organization OF a
brass band within the student body
OF our public schools. and It seems
that there Is but one obstacle in
the way. The matter OF procuring
instruments 5 the stumbling block

buy their own pieces but il deemed
advisabIs TO have all the properly

TO make it a success.
Prof. WaIhse has the matter OF
organization in charge, and II he
IS able TO get the necessary
equipment Prof Sovereign will theR

READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS
Some Very Interesting Announce
ments Being Made By
Merchants.

Read the advertisements in this
issue. II you don't you will be
cheating yourself in two ways In
the first place you will miss many
of the good things that are being
offered by the merchants OF the
city. and in the second place you
will not be getting your moneys
worth in the paper because there Is
but little other than advertising in
the paper this week.
The management of the Press
expected that with the commence
ment of the holiday trade there
would be a material increase in
the business of this office, but
was hardly prepared for such a rush
of business as we have had to
handle and therefore the news side
of the paper has been neglected.
This IS not an apology for we feel
that we are emitted to neglect the
news features for the next three or
four weeks in view of the fact that
better paper has been gotten out
all summer than the business
justified. However. if the advertis-
ing business continues. two or more
pages will be added for next week
II you will read the ads though
YOU will find many very interesting
items and when you are readins
them Just bear in mind that tbs
adertisers are paying out goo'
money to call your attention to Ger
| tain things. and they are doing 1
because they feel that you viii b
interested.

COURT TO REVIEW ACTS OF
THE BOARD OF APPRAISERS
Contends That the Appraisers Over
reached Their Authority in that
They Interpreted the Law Case
to Be Heard January 5.

Another chapter has been writ
ten in the settling of the differences
Of Power and Oneida counties, the
latter. through ID. j. Reynolds chair
man of the board of county com
missioners. having appealed TO the
Supreme Court of the state to have
the acts of the appraisers reviewed
By that tribunal.
In only one particular did the
appraisers of the two counties fall
to agree, and that was in the mat
ter of the amount of bonded in
debtedness which should justly be
assumed by Power county. The
Adherence between the appraisers
amounted to something like w.
400 90. and, as There seemed but
uttle likelihood of their ever get
ting together, Oneida county asked
for the appointment of third ap-
praiser and Gov Haines named e
Al SunderMn, of Burley, to act IN
that capacity. Mr.. Sunderin took
the same view of the question as
did A. A. Smith, the appraiser Tor
Power county, and, therefore, the
ouestion was decided in our favor.
The application of Oneida coun-
tC has been granted by the Su-
nreme Court and the date for hear
ing the case has been fixed foi
Jan. 5th, 1914.

strong with the auditors. But he
was not alone. Several of the other
lead" characters shared honors
with him all the way through.
The chorus was made up OF good
singers, the costumes were classy
as could be and the stage settings
produced some gorgeous effects. In
fact the production was all that
could be asked or expected.

OUT NEW LAWS

New York, Sept. ga play called
"The Guilty Man. to be staged next
month to an invited audience of legis-
lators, physicians, social workers and
teachers, deals with the making legi-
innate of all children born out Of
wedlock and advocates law per-
hitting physicians to prevent the
birth of unwelcome children.
''The Guilty Man" is backed by the
social fund of the Medical Review
of Reviews. This body will urge the
enactment of laws by the next ses-
sion of the New York legislature deal
ing with the subjects presented in
the play.

lustration that the barbed wire
