Band To Be Recognized
and Grand Stand Erected

An important meeting of the Leh
Silver Band was held this week, wher
It was determined to add several new
members. and also to erect band
stand. In the future the band will
consist OF twenty pieces and will be
composed of the best musicians In the
city The members are all young
men. yet all have had several years
OF experience In music, 80 that they
will be sight readers from the start
The band also edcidcd to erect a
band stand at some convenient public
place. where weekly concerts will be
given during the summer and where
the general public will be able to
spend a pleasant evening listening to
the music.
Several places have been mentioned
for the stand The City Hall square
ON the corner Of Center and First
North. the public school square
block farther north and the vacant lot
belonging to Ira ID. Wines. q
Right now is a good time to agitate
the taking over Of the Wines property
for city park. and II this is done
many people think that corner OF
this property Is the proper place for
the band stand. At the same time
they point out the individuality of
erecting public buildings on private
property.
The public school square has many
supporters. because OF It's being CEN
trail for so many purposes. II lies be-
tween the two business sections. is

ernacle. is but across the road from
the new dancing academy and is on
the same property that our two prin.
cipal school buildings are located. I'm
all OF which buildings our public gath
erings are held.
The argument in favor of the va.
cant lot on First North is that It is
owned by the city and rs near the |
theatre aud refreshment stands.

Stockholders RatIty
Irrigation Agreement
Way Now Open 10 Supply Water to
Every Acre In Lehi Precinct.

The stockholders OF the Lehi Irri
CATION company met In the First Ware
westinghouse Monday afternoon ant
without dissenting vote instructed
the directors OF the company to sign
the agreement with the Provo River
Reservoir company. practically as II
was published In the issue OF this
paper two weeks ago.
Two changes were made In the
agreement, one binding the success
sors and assigns OF the reservoir COM
pany to observe the terms OF the
agreement and the other compelling
the reservoir company to make good
any losses that may result through
seepage or evaporation in the creek
bed channel in case the company in
making the exchange left but a small
stream over to dwlndle down between
the points where the water was taken
out. and where II was put in again.
Fears we're expressed by some that
Lehi would loose It's water In case
the Provo River supply should fail.
but the agreement was shown to amp
iy project the Lehi people in this re-
spect .y
a motion was made and seconded,
but afterwards withdrawn, favoring a
rejection of the agreement and going
into court to settle the matter The
directors satisfactorily answered all
questions and when the vote ratifying

 "No!" roared Stransky, bringing the rife down on the ground with q heavy blow.
 Then impulse broke through the restraint that seemed to characterize the Lanstron of thirty-fve. The Lan- strcn of twenty-five, who had met catastrophe because he was wool gathering" asserted himself He put his hand on Stranskys shoulder. It was a strong though slim hand that looked as if it had been trained to do the work of two hands in the process of it's owners own transformation. Thus the old sergeant had seen a gen. eral remonstrate with brave veteran who had been guilty of bad conduct in Africa. The old colonel gasped at such a subversion of the dignity of rank. He saw the army going to the devil. But young Dellarme, watching with eager curiosity, was sensible of no familiarity in the act. :. It all depended on how such a thing was done he was thinking.
 We all have minutes when we are more or less. anarchists" said Lan- stron in the human appeal of one man to another. But we don't want to be judged by one of those minutes.

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, May 1S.-We are ex-
tremely dry; the rain that fell nearly
two weeks ago did very little good.
The wind blew so hard that the moist
ure was soon evaporated.
Farm work is almost at a stand
still because there is not enough cot
ton up to work out, and very little of
the corn that was replanted is up.
Our family physician, DR.. George
F. Moseley, is talking of buying an
automobile. He was running one
last Saturday morning and the ma
chine was upset in Mr.. Wallace Law
sons corn field near the Boatman
Spring. Reports are that the DR..
would soon have grabbed out, thanks
to Mr.. Lawson's deep ploughing. If
it had not been for that it likely
would have taken more than three
stitches to patch the wound.
Rev. A. McA. Pittman filled his ap-
pointment Saturday and Sunday at
Padgett's Creek. Both sermons were
exceptionally fine. Mr. .Pittm an is a
forceful speaker; he has one special
talent that a great many speakers
do not have; that is the power to
choose language to express his
thoughts so as to make himself
clearly understood.
There is some sickness around here
but most of it is not of a serious
nature.
Mrs. Robert M. Fincher of the
Meador Wood section is very much
indisposed and has been for some
time.
Mrs. L. T. Lawson has been very
sick, but is thought to be improving
Miss Leila Sparks was not able to
attend church last Saturday or Sun
day.
Watson Murphy, son of Mr.. H. B.
Murphy, is right sick now. He was
taken i'll suddenly Sunday night.
Mr.. George Moore of Roebuck came
down Sunday in his new car. Mr.
Jesse Bobo accompanied him. Mr.
Bobo is a nephew of Mr.. c. B. Bobo
and brother of the late T. X. Palm
er of Union.
Mr.. David C. Bishop, who is now
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Lula
Bobo does not improve; he was fol
some time at the home of his uncle
Mr.. B. G. Wilburn, and is still draw
ing on the treasury of which Mr.. Will
burn is the sole owner. The Sunday
school at Cross Keys expressed sym
pathy for him last Sunday by send.
ing a small contribution to let him
know he was not forgotten.

NEW HOPE

New Hope, May 19.-Continues to
be real COOL If it were wet and
cold, the young plants would suffer
considerably. No dougt that if it
had rained much during this cold
spell there would have been lot
of cotton planted over; the stand is
very poor as it is. Some are plant
ing over and some are waiting. /
know have never seen it as cool
in May as this has been. Fires are
very comfortable every morning, and
blanket at night is not at all dis
agreeable.
Last Saturday was big day at the
Rocky Creek school. The teacher,
Miss Effie Faucet, gave her scholars,
patrons and friends a big picnic in
the beautiful oak grove near the
home of Mr.. Henry Sprouse. 1t was
casion being the ending of school, so
to speak. People came in for miles
around. There were no candidates,
so the boys and girls had jolly
time. When time to go home came,
one by one left, dreading to leave
the place where they had so much
pleasure. Mrs. Faucet say that all
were enjoying themselves. All kinds
of nice things to eat and a big barrel
of ice cold lemonade free all during
the day.
Our road bridges need repairing
around here. One of our good col
ored neighbors came very near get
ting his horses leg broken one night
last week in crossing the bridge at
Rock Creek. Such things should be
kept in first class order all the time
We have such sorry roads that it
seems we might have good bridges.
When we had our township commits
sioner we had both goods roads and
good bridges, too.
Mr.. B. w. Whitlock leaves tomor-
row for Columbia as a delegate to
the State Democratic convention.
Practically the only issue before the
convention is the question of chang
ing the rules governing the party's
primary elections with view to elm
mating possibilities of fraud and
irregularities. Out of 1856 delegates
they ought to fix solid, irol clad
rule.

Mrs. b. w. Whitlock, last week.
Mr.. Carlisle Taylor of Prosperity
visited Mr.. Dewitt Whitlock last
week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Palmer Wis

Saturday and Sunday.
Mr.. Marvin Becknell of Buffalo was

Mr.. Monroe Whitlock and wife at
tended services Sunday.
The health of the community is
good.

LET US ARISE AND BUILD.

Ye people of Union and of Union
county, arise in your might and build
the hospital. The outlook is exceed
ingly promising, and we feel sure
the present forward movement will
result in the completion of the build
ing. AS may be seen on another
page in this issue, the full cooperation
of our financial institutions and the
enthusiasm and cooperation of all
concerned, is in the present move
ment. Please read the article, and
lend your aid There should be
large number of friends of humanity
in Union county who will willingly
give one dollar to this charitable in
stitution. The institution is intended
primarily to lend helping hand to
the unfortunate and helpless. We
believe there are 1000 people who
will each give dollar in the move
ment to raise the $4,000 The Times
editor is one of the twelve collectors.
The first man approached by him in
the hunt for 5000 pulled out the dollar
and gave it. There must be found
1919 others in the two weeks. Let no
one that can help in this final strug-
gle turn deaf ear to the appeals for
help. 1t is for humanity's sake that
we are making the canvass. There
Is no glory, no pay, no honor to be
gained by any of the individuals who
are pressing the building of the hos
pital The institution is sadly needea
human need cries-and the reward
that each one will receive is the con-
sciousness of having contributed
something towards answering that
cry. Fellow-citizens, men, women, let
your heart respond to this true char
ity and help all you are able. ".
feel sure that the generous hearted.
true men and women of Union and
Union county will not fail to render
aid and that they will do so quickly.
Let us raise the $4,000 in two weeks,
and the work will at once begin on
the construction of modern and
thoroughly well-equipped hospital.
Thus will be met one of the greatest
needs of our community.

FRIDAY, MAY %, 1914.
FINE RESULTS OBTAINED.

Misses Kathleen and Ada Ruth
Betsill, ages II and 10 years respec-
lively, daughters of Mr.. w. J. Bet
sill of West Springs, deserve especial
mention for their splendid achieve
ment in their Tomato club work last
year.
Miss Kathleen, on Ito acre, canned
$56.0O worth of tomatoes and raised
$11.83 worth of onions.
Miss Ada Ruth canned $46.75 worth
of tomatoes and raised $7.53 worth of
onions. The aggregate of the
crops on the 2-10 acres of land
amounted to $122.21, or $611.O5 per
acre. This is wonderful showing
and will make the average cotton
farmer green with envy. These young
ladies' lost, for lack of cans, perhaps
$50 worth of tomatoes.
Both these young ladies are in the
club this year. They have already
gotten their crops under way for this
year and are expecting to surpass
even their splendid records of last
year.
With such results as the foregoing,
it would seem that our county has a
great agricultural future. Certainly
this should be Gland of plenty"
With the great strides being made in
improved farming our people cannot
but increase in wealth
