Rabbits Resemble Sheep Herd
Big Drive Would Make Good Motion
Picture Film.

Mr.. David Carson came In from
Fairfield Monday He reports that the
rabbits in the valley have gathered
into the tall rabbit brush south of
Fairfield, where they are so thick that
they resemble a big sheep herd. He
says that conditions are ideal for a
drive and that II one were made now
that over 10000 rabbits could be Sc
sured without the use of gun.
The people of Fairfield would turn
out enmasse If drive was organized.
In tho recent hunt the Salt Lakers
shot but a small per cent of those
that they saw. Many would shoot 100
shells to get ten rabbits. OF course
some were better shots and got as
many as 100 each.
Mr.. Carson thinks a big rabbit
drive would furnish great sport and
that If one were made motion pic
ture concern would come down from
Salt Lake City and make films of II,

lehi Defeats Granite

In the fastest basket ball game Of
the season in the Smuin's Academy,
last Friday night, Lehi High School
sent the crack Granite team down to
defeat with score of % to "a. 1t
was probably the toughest game ever
played in Lehi, somebody being on the
floor most Of the time. The Granite
five were all members of the Granite
foot ball team and they showed It in
their playing. Lehi Accommodated the
visitors in their seeming desire to
rough 1t" and when a man was down
Lehi usually was on top. While Lehi
was the smaller team 1t showed the
best science and most speed, result
of the efficient training OF coach Min
err. The score was the same In both
innings, IA to IL in favor Of Lehi.
Following Is the line up.

Farmers Meet
Saturday, December 18th

The farmers of Lehi will hold a
meeting Saturday night, December 70,
at D. m, In the Lehi Commercial
club rooms to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of forming local branch Of the Ma
tional Farmers Society Of Equity A
beginning was made last week, but
as there were but few farmers present
It was deemed best to get all the
farmers interested before perfecting
an organization.
In the east there are locals In al
most every township where farmers
are located Cache and Box Elder
Counties have locals in nearly every
precinct and societies will be placed
in every county in Utah. The one to
be organized in Lehi will be part
of the County, State and National or
CARNATIONS.
The prime object of the society is
the principle Of cooperation. All of
the trades and professional men are
organized and have their schedule of
pri es and wages. Farmers are the
only people without an organization
and suffer more from the middle man
than any other class II car load
Of seed potatoes were wanted from 8
clean district, middle men reap the
profit and the farmers may even then
get diseased potatoes. Farmers In
some localities buy bailed hay, but II
a Lehi local sent its order to an Ida
no local, probably two commission
mems profit would be eliminated. In
everything that a farmer buys or sells,
If 1t were done through the farmers
clearing house, there could be a won
1erful saving, as there can be no rea-
son why the farmer should not get
rates II he buys In whole
sale quantities.
Every farmer In the vicinity Of Lehi
should turn out Saturday night and at
least listen to an explanation Of what
Is intended to be accomplished. The
place Is the Commercial club rooms,
the time is December rs, at 8 p. m.

Mosida'S Troubles To
Be Strengthened Out

The stockholders of the Mosida
Fruit Lands company will hold its
annual meeting IN Salt Lake City
next Monday, when II is expected that
a good many things will be untangled
and explained. There has been a
world OF trouble at Mosida during the
past year and several of the farmers
have given up and moved away, Two
men from Ogden were In Lehi Monday
on their way home.
II appears that to begin with the
canals were too small to carry the
water, and when the farmers began to
cry for water, the transformer burned
out and there was no water for any
body. till new one was installed
BY this time many of the crops were
too far gone to be saved. People who
went there with their all invested I'm
land found themselves stranded. How
ever, some of the farmers produced
good crops and are satisfied. The
company has arranged the electrical
appliances, safety switches, etc, so
that there will be no re-occurance OF
this seasons disaster. and the people
are becoming more hopeful for boun-
teous season next year They have
plowed UP n big acreage for planting
next year.

lehi's History

The Pioneer Committee. who pub
lished the history of Lehi, announce
that they have several left, and they
may be obtained by calling on Bishop
Fled. This history contains facts
that are valuable, and data that Is Of
the most intense interest to every
citizen Of the town. and to those who
have once lived here. It is written
with literary ability, and no family
library in Lehi will never be complete
without one. After a few remaining
ones now left are sold, is not prob
able that any more will ever be OBJ
tainable. 80 those who have none
would do well to see Bishop Jjeld at
once.

Saratoga Springs Ranch Leased
Company VIII Grow Sugar Beet Seed.

The famed Saratoga Springs ranch
now owned by the Austin Brothers
Association, has been divided up and
leased, $50 acres to Gilbert and Ar
thur Knudson, and about the same
acreage to John Whimpey and James
b. Clark. The balance Of the tillable
land will probably be rented to the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company for the
purpose of growing sugar beets and
sugar beet seed.
The sugar company has petted suf-
ficent mother beets to plant about 40
acres. But It has not yet been settled
whether these beets will be planted
at Saratoga or on the bench land un-
der Bull River. The possibility OF
there being difficulty in securing su-
gar beet seed from Germany has de-
cided the sugar company to plant O
big acreage In Lehi, Garland and Ida
no.

Floral Presents Very Popular

Mrs. Joseph s. Broadbent says that

the Lehi Floral company carried a
small ad in this paper, advertising
carnations and roses for Christrpas
Five days before Christmas every
flower in their large establishment
had been sold, and many customers
had to be turned away. Floral gifts
seem to have become suddenly popu-
lar and this company will increase

Ira D. Wines
Deeds City Park
Also Offers City, mt Nominal Price,
Block West Of Center Street.-The
vision OF Deed Calls For Expendl-
ture Of Over $1,000 In Eighteen
Years.

This week there was placed on re-
cord in the County Recorders Office
a deed signed by Ira ID. Wines and
Elizabeth Wines, his wife, convey
ing to Lehi City Block 81, Plat A
Lehi City survey. The instrument was
drawn up and signed on December 10
1914.
Among the provisions of the deed
are that IL shall be enclosed with o
fence of two iron rails in wooden
posts set in cement. II shall be
known as the Margaret Wines Park.
Tho sum of $1,000 shall be spent on
II in 1915, in leveling It down, plating
II out and seeding to grass, etc.
Thereafter for a period OF eighteen
years, the City shall spend at least
$500 per year I'm keeping the plat In
park condition After eighteen
years the absolute title vests I'm the
City, providing all the requirements
of the deed have been compiled with
In case of failure In any requirement
contained In the deed, then the title
reverts back to the grantees. The
City has already complied with the
fence provision OF the deed, and has
spent 5000 in sidewalk paving on three
sides of the block.
There is also provision permitting
the City to build "A City Hall on the
block, provided that the building Is
erected either on the Northeast or
Southeast corner.
Mr. Wines also offers to sell to the
City, at n very low price. the block
west OF block 81. There Is wide
spread sentiment that the City should
own this tract and construct base
ball park thereon. Those who favor
this purchase also favor closing the
street between the two blocks, maxi
ing one big park OF about six acres.
II Is understood that the question of !
the purchase OF the additional block |
was to have been considered by the |
City Council at Its last session. ! |
will probably be presented for the |
of the Council early In |
the new year, Some of the council |
men refuse to commit themselves on |
he matter.

lie knows in his heart that he cannot
fail;
That no i'll fortune can make him

while his will is strong and HIS cour-

10 Jump to the front; he is satisfied
To do ey'ry day HIS level best,
And let the future take care of the
