Our PrisonPoe
Only a Box
By General Stonewall

Only box, secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long
Lying there in the drilling rain,
Waiting to take the up-bOund train.
Only its owner, just inside,
Cold and livid and glassy-eyed;I
Little to him if the train be late
Nothing has he to do but wait.
Only an open grave somewhere,
Ready to close when he gets there;
Turfs and grass and fiOwerets sweet.
Ready to press him meath their feet.
Only band of friends at home,
Waiting to see the traveller come,
Naught will he tell of distant lands:
He cannot even press their hands.
He has no stories weird and bright.
He has no gifts for child delight;
He did not come with anything
He had not even himself to bring.
Yet they will softly him await.
And he will move about in state;
They will give him. when he appears,
Love and pity and tender tears.
Only box. secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long:
Angels guide that soul-less breast
Into a long and peaceful rest.

Song of The Painters
BY Beau Esprita

Red stiping, and green,
Green stripping, and brown,
Half the color clIngs to the man that sings,
From the tip of toes to his crown,
Irvine cans, rollers, decks,
Irons, hinge, boards, stills,
And hurry call for the saw dust box
When a two quart bucket spills
Mowers platforms. poles,
Binders, hitchers, wheels,
And a few sly smears of paint in the ears
OF the careless dauber steals.
Paint, stencil, and stripe,
Stripe, stencil, and paint;
Red paint in his eye, brown paint in his hair,
Do you wonder he's not saint?
Charlie. Otto, and Slim,
Bob, The Soldier, and Mac,
FATTY The Swede, Long l., and Pete,
Each look like neck tie rack
Prime, color, and stripe,
Stencil, varnish, and pack,
All first class work, not man shirk,
And none of their jobs come back!
Red, varnish and green,
Black. stripping. and brown,
Half the color cings to the man that ''slings,"
From the tip of his toes to his crown.

The Call of The City
BY Beau Esprita

Slush and mud under foot,
Smoke and grim in the air;
But oh! the lure of the city's street
Is calling, calling and would meet
The fate that MISREPRESENTATION
Would meet it gladly there.
The thread of the road lies long
Between me and my home,
The open way before me,
Above, vast Heavens dome.
The open road lies before,
And the woods and wilds about
But the way to the city lies behind
The joy in these things is not my kind,
And strive in vain with the fates that bind
My footsteps, out and out.
The call of the road sounds sweet
To him the road calls home,
The open way before him,
Above, vast Heavens dome;
long for the city's streets.
The hustle. hustle, and strife.
The changing cars and the noisy drays,
The human touch of the crowded ways,
And the stream of commerce that never stays,
All! that's what call life!
The endless stretch of the fields
Is not for city-bred;
The spaces between the houses
But fills my soul with dread,
The voice of the city calls,
My heart has but one request
To go back once more to the marts of men.
There strive to be what might have been,
There to earn my joy or my drudge, and then
In tue city's heart, to rest
Slush and mud under foot,
Smoke and grim in the air;
But OH the lure of the city's street
Is calling, calling, and would meet
The fate that waits-success-defeat-
Would meet it bravely there!

After Auto Licenses

A number of owners of auto
mobiles in Boomers Ferry have SO
far neglected to procure a state Ii
cense and this week Marshal Wor-
ley received word from State Sec
rotary Clifford that he should pre-
sent to such auto owners the regu-
lar form for application for the said
license. Local people feel that the
auto license law is unjust in that it
requires an exorbitant license of
SIS for a 20 horsepower machine
and still does not provide any reas-
enable means of securing any kind
of benefit in return.

NEED ARMORY FOR MILITIA
Organization Will Be Effected a. Soon
as Building Is Arranged For

Adjutant General l.. V. Patch
and Colonel w. H. Edelbute, of
Rathdrum, Idaho National Guard,
were visitors here last Sunday
spending several hours in consulta-
ton with local people in regards to
the advisability of establishing a
company of the National Guard
here.
General Patch was presented
with petition signed by major
ity of the local business men in
which they promised their support
in case a company should be es-
tablished here. The General was
also shown list of some so names
of those who have expressed de-
sire to join a National Guard COM
pany here. After being advised of
the prospects here for the organi-
zation of a National Guard COM
pany, the General gave out the
statement that he would authorize
the mastering in of a company as
soon as definite plans had been ar
ranged for an armory building.
AS it now stands the only diff
Guilty in securing a company here
is a suitable building for drill pur-
poses. The past few days the
matter has been taken up with O
number of local people and it is
more than probable that a definite
announcement can be made in the
near future. Two private iudivid-
uals are figuring on putting up the
needed building and there is a
movement on foot to have two
local lodges combine and build a
lodge hall and armory.

LETTERS TELL
WAR HORRORS
Local People Hear From Relatives in
Belgium and England = German
Atrocities Recited
FALK AND OLSON RETURN HOME
Were in Copenhagen When World War
Broke Out

The people of America have only
the most vague ideas of the horrors
of the great European war which
is now being carried. Those Amer
leans who have relatives in Ger
many, France, Belgium, Austria,
and Russia and who get occasional
letters from those countries are
brought i'll closer touch with the
terrible suffering and the devasta-
ton, ruin and slaughter of the war.
Two letters have been brought
TO this Office this week which re-
Gently arrived, one from Belgium
and one from England. Mrs. Van
gobargan, of Antwerp, Belgium,
in writing TO her nephew, John A.
Davis, of this city, told of how a
German airship had dropped bombs
in Antwerp, one of which struck
within a block of her home. She
wrote that none of the men, wom-
en- or children had time to put on
their clothes but fled to cellars and
other safer places in the middle of
the night. Homes and buildings
had been razed to the ground. Mrs.
Vangobargan told that she and her
children had made one effort to go
to England but had been unsuc-
cessful, although she expected to
try again.
A letter from Kew Gardens,
England, from Hugh Pike, brother
of Frank A. Pike, of this city,
says; We have had proofs over
here of the awful atrocities they
(meaning the Germans have car
ried out in Belgium. They have
been acting like inhuman monsters,
shooting and bayoneting the vii
layers as they march through and
burning down their houses and
cottages. T h wretches spare
nothing. Near here there is a
mother and her son who escaped
from Belgium. The little chap had
his fingers cut off by the fiendish
Germans. The father of the boy
was shot in cold blood as many
other poor fathers have been.
Really you can't imagine the awful
deeds they have done, but wait,
we shall avenge it all. We are all
quite calm here and ready to send
the last man to smash the dirty
hounds. "
Of course in letters from England
and Belgium we hear only one side
of the story and it is quite probable
that atrocities are and have been
committed by both the army of
the allies and the German army.
Harry Falk, of this city, and c.
A. Olsen, of Standpoint, returned
home last week from a trip to Nor
way where they went to attend the
celebration of the Norwegian indie
dendence day. While they were
in Copenhagen the war broke out
and they had great difficulty in Sc
curing passage home. Mr.. Olsen
states that the people of Norway
Sweden and Denmark are alive to
the dangers of war which threaten
their countries and are in a thor
ough state of preparedness. He
speaks of the Danish people as be-
ing especially bitter toward the
Germans. In passing through
England the only excitement Incl
dent to war which the gentlemen
noticed was that of the American,
trying to get passage home. Upof
entering the harbor of New Yorl
Mr.. Olson saw III German liners

among them the worlds largest
boat, the "Vaterland," anchored
and, according to international
law, destined TO remain until the
close of the war.

Big Ball Game at
City Park Wednesday

The league baseball game to be
played here next Wednesday will be
between Lehi and American Fork. II
promises to be the best game of the
season, because of the old rivalry be-
tween the two towns. Heretofore Lehi
has been in the habit of defeating the
team from our sister city, but they
are playing better ball this year than
In recent years; In fact, American
Fork has won five straight games
without single defeat.
Lehi last year had the best team in
the county, but In some of the games
this season has been playing In bad
luck. The boys were nearly all new
players, never having been In cham
pionship games, and while showing
good material, would often make an
error at critical moment.
For the game Wednesday and the
balance OF the season the Lehi man
ager Will strengthen up his team and
no more games should be lost. IL Is
intended to play Street In the box,
Harp short-stop, Cox on third, Fox on
second and Dorton on first. This in
Held Is the best In the league and is
seldom equaled in professional games.
IL IL inyincible, and with Sabey behind
the bat and a good outfield Lehi should
show Happy" Holmsteads colts the
game of their lives.
Lehi will have the silver band out
and American Fork promises to bring
It's band. and you can trust to every
American Fork fan being there to help
root for the best team the town ever
had. The same game last year drew
the biggest crowd ever gotten into the
at a league game. The
game Wednesday promises to jam the
and send an overflow into
the grounds. II Lehi wins this game
II Is safe for the balance of the season

Decoration Day
FIHIngy Observed
Forenoon the People Went to Gene.
terry En- Masse, Decorated Graves
and Listened to Silver Band-After.
noon Went 10 Ball Game.

Decoration Day was fittingly OBJ
served last Saturday. All the BUSH
ness houses closed, and 1t was gen.
orally observed as holiday. The peo-
pie turned out en- masse to decorate
the graves of their loved ones. The
cemetery committee of the city coun-
ell and the sexton are to be commend
ed for their splendid work in having
the cemetery cleaned up. Never be-
fore was 1t In so pleasing condition.
Most Of the old individual wooden
fences had been removed, adding much
to the attractiveness OF the general
effect. There was water In all the
pipes, so that the flowers and shrub
berry could be freshened up. BY noon
the crowd had practically all dis
persed.
About one hour before noon the
crowd was immense. 1t seemed that
every inhabitant In the city was there,
and almost every grave received a
sprig OF flowers or floral wreath
The fraternal societies were present
as organizations, remembering their
departed members. Much plasure was
given by the silver band, which spent
several hours at the cemetery playing
sacred music.
In the afternoon there was a base
ball game between Lehi and the Gem
eral Electrics Of Salt Lake City. Lehis
regular team went to Provo. leaving
but few experienced players to keep
up the reputation Of the home team
"Biddy" Jackson was back-stop, while
his kid brother occupied the pitchers
box for Lehi. They both did good
work. but could not win single-hand-
ed. The score resulted IL to 1 in
favor Of the visitors.
The game at Provo, which was one
Of the league series. resulted In favor
OF Provo. the score being IL to 6.
Lehi was ahead In the eighth inning,
but In the last the Provoites got a
batting streak and besides knocking
four home runs scored three others.
There were six hundred people in at
tendance.

Pumps May Not Operate
the Coming Season
Investigating Farmers Find Planks In
Jordan Jam with Utah Lake Nearly
Eighteen Inches Above Compromise
Point and Water Still Rising.

Israel Evans is sueing the Salt Lake
Canal companies for damages result
ing from high water. Some of the
Provo and lake shore farmers are
threatening suit because of the high
sater overfowing their farms. The
high water level OF 1909 has rot yet
been reached, but as tremendous
streams are pouring into the lake with
the hith water season yet to come, It
is probable new high water record
mby ne established.
last week committee of Provo
citizens, consisting of Edward Farrer,
Joel A. Johnson, George Il. Cook,
George 7. Peay, ST., and George T..
Peay, Jr., visited the dams in Jordan
River and found two feet five inches
Of water flowing over the upper dam
and twenty-five inches of plank In
this dam. They said that the plank
had been in the dam all winter and
spring. while three feet of plank had
been kept In the lower dam during the.
same time. and all contrary to agree
ments heretofore entered into. These
planks should be out from October Is
TO March Is In low water seasons and
kept out entirely during high water.
II Is probable that the big pumps
may not be operated at all during the
present irrigation season. The river
Is now flowing by gravity more than
the farmers can use, and the flow will
Increase for some time yet to come.
The water Is now touching the wagon
bridge at the head of the river, and
When there SIS strong south wind
the water almost crosses the road. In
the latter part OF the season, as the
water begins to recede, the farmers
use less water. so that II now looks
as II there would be no need of on
Grating the big pumps at all this sum
mer. From this II would appear that
the sixty second feet being pumped
by the Utah Lake Irrigation Company
and the fifty second feet by the Mo-
sida Fruit Lands Company, besides
the numerous small private plants re-
Gently installed, are making but little
Inference to the lakes supply, or else
that IL these newly installed plants
had not been put In operation the
county would now be flooded.
Az the time these Provo gentlemen
made their visit they also measured
me level OF the lake and found that II
was seventeen and three-quarter
hches above compromise point.
