Daniel R. Jones, convicted cashier
of the Blackfoot State bank ON the
|lcharge of embezzling $1,000 and SEN
fenced to serve an undetermined SEN
tence of from one to IA years in the
state penitentiary, will be given a
new trial, for the supreme court of
this state in an opinion handed down
last night reverses Judge J. M. Stew
ems of the district court for Bingham
county, holding that it was and is
reversible error for him to deny
Jones motion for new trial which
the court holds should be granted.
The court of last resort in this
state also holds that the record in
the Jones case shows clearly and con-
clusively that the check was in due
course received by the bank and en-
try thereof as charge against Jones
was made in the books of the bank:
that the bank accepted the course of
Jones in his action from the time of
the issuing of the check until the
case came on for trial; that the re-
cord and the evidence are not suffi-
Client to support the verdict and find
ings of the jury that Jones was guilty
of embezzlement; that the judgment
should be set aside because Of this;
that the trial court erred in denying
the motion for a new trial.
Jones Drew $1,000 Cheek

Idaho as plaintiff in the criminal ac-

OLD MAsTERs-JAMEs OTIS

James Otis is not widely remem-
bered except among careful readers
and in New England, where the
stories of mems lives are handed
down, verbally, from sire to son, even
as they are among a good many Ash
attic races. But James Otis was a
patriot SO broad and an orator so
commanding, that his words were
often greater reinforcement to the
colonies in their struggle than would
have been an army division.
He and Patrick Henry were the
greatest orators of the revolution.
Henry could carry his audience by
storm and for the hour weave such
spell around them as made them
Mare anything or sacrifice everything
for a cause, though next day they
could not recall one connected SEN
tence that he had uttered, and could
only remember the enchantment and
~he thrill.
Otis could carry hts audience along
with him, but there was something
in what he said that when the charm
jof his eloquence had passed caused
their minds to crystalize into convic-
tions. He, with Samual Adams and
John Hancock, were more hated by
the British government than any
other men in America; so hated that
when pardons were discussed, those
three were always exempted as men
who might never be pardoned
He was Massachusetts man. born
in 1925, so his faculties were at their
zenith when the call came for the
creation of a new nation, and he
! flung himself into the cause with the
inspiration of second Themistocles,
except that while the subtitle Greek
consulted the oracles for words and
omens, Otis became an oracle him
self, and his voice rang out clear and
high and long continued, and never
lost one tone until the storm had
passed and the sun of freedom light
ed all the earth and sky.
The dawn had but just come when
he was translated by shaft of light
ming.
There was theory among the an
clients that those killed by lightning
were special favorites of the gods.
If only such men as was James Otis
died that way, the theory would hold
good still.-Goodwin Weekly.

Cameron and Mary Hardy, home

Cameron wore one of the rings as

BEET ACREAGE TO INCREASE IN
TWO STATES

SALT LAKE, Feb. 20-The sugar
beet acreage this year in Utah and
Idaho will be larger than it was last
year, and present prospects encour-
age hope that the tonnage may be
heavier, according to George A. Smith
purchasing agent for the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company. While all contracts
have not yet been made, Mr.. Smith
stated today that reports from the
different beet districts are to the
effect that the acreage in almost
every section will be as large and in
some instances larger than in 1918.
Garland will have a slight in
crease" Mr.. Smith said, "as also will
Sewer and Blackfoot and probably
Sugar City and Idaho Falls. Payson
cannot have much of an increase on
account of the lack of irrigation
water and Lehi and vicinity will prob
ably only be able to maintain it's pre-
vious record.
"The amount of snow in the noun
tains of the state, gives assurance
better than last year, and with the
slight increased acreage the tonnage
will probably be larger than hereto
fore"
All sugar beet authorities agree
that after this year everything in the
industry will be in state Of uncer-
tainty, as the various companies
plans are undetermined; what the
farmers will be offered for beets and
what they will do If the price is re-
duced only the future can tell.

JOKE ON CONGRESS

We've got one joke on congress
For the past few years it has been
soaking the newspapers at every op-
portunity and between times, it has
made us publish what we are worth
and what we owe; it has refused to
let us extend credit on subscriptions
over year; it took away our rail-
road passes. AS a final crusher it
flred the income tax at us-and it
never touched us at all.-Parma

JOLLY SANDWICH CLUB


There is bunch of ten families
in west Groveland that have been
having more fun lately than they
thought they could have together.
They assemble at different places and
spend the evenings socially and have
refreshments when they are ready
for punishment. They play all the
funny FRANKS that anybody can in
vent and everybody goes home glad
they are alive.
They have had their meetings at

"The appeal In this case is from
the denial of the motion for a new
trial and the trial court, under this
opinion, clearly committed an error
In denying the motion for new trial,
and a new trial of said cause should
be granted"
Court is Divided
The majority opinion is written by
Justice Stewart and is concurred in
by Justice Sullivan. Chief Justice
Ailshie discents as follows:
st seems to me that the facts of
this case bring it clearly within the
principle of law followed and adopted
by this court in State versus Sage, %
Idaho, 489, and have no doubt but
that the trial court and jury were
governed by the rule applied in that
case. This court unanimously affirm
ed the judgment of conviction in the
Sage case and held it to be a case
of embezzlement, and l fail to see
any difference either in principle or
the effect of the acts committed in
this case. I dissent from views ex-
pressed by the majority and believe
it is our duty to affirm the judy
ment."

New York, January 17.-(Special)
As almost everybody knows, there is
a committee of many years standing
that selects Bible lessons for Sunday
schools. These lessons are studied
each week by 100000 young people
al lover the world. The committee Sc
lects the lessons some years in ad-
vance and commentators in various
religious bodies. not members of the
committee, prepare and publish helps
for teachers. These commentators have
9an editorial council. There is friction
between committee and commentators,
and there is dissatisfaction in many
religious bodies with both of them
This criticism is most acute just now
among the Presbyterians north and
south, the Methodists north and south,
and the Baptists south. 1t is correct
TO say acute, for criticism and dissat-
isfaction obtain most of the time about
something and have done so for years.
With the committee the point Of
criticism is with the graded lessons,
which cut up the assignments to 4
different one for each year. and mean
shat in a perfectly graded Sunday
school II different lessons are studied
al tIle same llflt. iNcIe Is dlSo tIit~
icism of the graded lessons in that they
bring in too much material not found
in the Bible, and that they do not lay
sufficient emphasis upon some great
evangelical truths. To correct the lat
ter defect Presbyterians have recast
some of the lessons within the last
few years and Baptists south have
threatened to do so.
There has Just been held a meeting
OF the international executive commit
tee in Chicago and the new graded
form decided on is different lessons for
beginners, primary, Junior interme-
diate and senior, or five in all, instead
of one for each year. The effort of
the editorial council to take over the
whole work and bring the famous
committee to an end failed for the
time and it is believed will fail per-
manently. Methodists are said to have
led the contention in favor of the coun-
ell. The failure had several causes
but the chief one was the differing in
terests and views of the bodies in
volved. Attempts had even gone so far
in their announced aim as to cut off
support from various bodies of the
committee, thus wiping it out of exis-
