In this glorious accomplishment
all ranks, arms and services of the
British armies in France have borne
their part in the most worthy and
honorable manner.
The capture of $4,000 prisoners

been attained. and also to all whose
labors behind the actual

MORE SHORTAGES
OF COUNTY FUNDS
Official Audit Shows Another Twelve Thousand

Whole Thing is Outlawed
BONDING COMPANY HELD FOR LOSS

TWO and half months ago the peo
pie OF Bingham county were shocked
at the announcement that there wa,
shortage OF $4,000 in the county
funds. On Wednesday morning the
county commissioners authorized the
statement that additional shortages
mad been found amounting to over
4 $4,000. The statement issued by
the commissioners is printed here

That from said audit it appears
that there were certain shortages in
the office OF the treasurer, and also
in the office Of the aduitor Of Bing-
ham county for the years 1912, 1913
and 1914. The shortages in the Of
fice of Mr.. Brig Wheeler, treasurer
OF Bingham county for that period.
amounts to the sum Of $20,O41.s3,
with interest at per cent since
January, 1915, making total of
$24,6O1.31. G. v. Fisher was deputy
treasurer under Brig Wheeler.
There was also shortage of
$l071.50 in fees earned in the offices
OF county auditor, recorder and clerk
OF the district court, which offices
were occupied during said period by |
J. T. Carruth. Interest on this
amount makes the total $1,315.25
chargeable OF the clerk OF the dis
trict court and ex-officio auditor and |
recorder. A further shortage in the
matter Of tax certificates redeemed
from or assigned by the county has
been discovered amounting to s5,-
5S2.56, which with interest makes a
total of $6,852.58 due the county. |
This last item is chargable to the Of
ficers of both the auditor and the
treasurer, making a total sum so far

OUR BANKERS ANNOUNCE

Nothing is more vital to the win
ming OF the war, than credit.
The government often has to Dor
row immense sums temporarily, ant
the banks must stand ready at al
times to lend the government wha
1t needs. The ability Of the bank,
to lend is not unlimited. It ia iusl
as necessary for them to conserve
their lending power as it is to con.
serve coal, food, steel, and other
commodities for, which the wal
brings abnormal demands. Those
who are producing, manufacturing
or distributing things needed to pro-
secute the war or MAINTAIN the health
and efficiency of the civilian popula-
tion, will be able to obtain the credit
to which their needs and their stand
Ing entitle them; but new loans will
rarely be justified unless they are
to aid directly in the prosecution of
the war, and every bank has been
asked by the government to request
all its borrowers to keep their de-
mands for credit down to the very
minimum.
Patriotic citizens, whether in busi-
ness or not, will want to cooperate
with this necessary government
policy.
The way for producers. manufac-
turers, and merchants to do their
share and reduce their credit REQUIRE
ments is:
By not overbuying;
BY carrying as small stocks as
By postponing new construction or
expansion of their business;
By effecting business economies.
The way for individuals to do their
share and reduce their loans is to !
study their personal expenses and |
effect economies.
Borrowers whose loans are Sc
cured by government bonds or other
collateral, should remember that re-
OF loans by selling collateral
s not helpful, since it usually merely
hlfts the burden to other shoulders.
The banks are asked to save their
redlt, which means that their GUS
omers must use less of it. The saw
ng OF credit is an integral part of
ne great saving policy which the war
equires the government to adopt
nd every man, woman and child to
upport to the utmost. Saving to
educe loans is a patriotic service

FIRE NEAR ROCKFORD.

Last week what might have caused
serious damage and loss occurred at
the farm of J. W. Mccartney, south
OF Rockford. They were threshing
and when thru as they were moving
the spout from the last stack fire
started in the blower, which set the
stack on fire. The straw stack was
burned, and had it not been for the
energetic threshing crew, it would
probably have destroyed the grain
which has been threshed.

the sailors say" cried Tom with en-
thusiasm, land blowing right down
the lake, too"
The eager boys slipped out Of the
house unobserved. dragged their sled
boat along the sheltered shore to the
point. showed it out upon the open
ice under the beat Of the wind. and
then with no little difficulty unfurled
and properly fastened their sail.
She's moving!" shouted Tom in
great joy.
They had to Jump quickly into their
seats. for "she" really was moving at
a very good rate Of speed. the filed
sail at taut as a drum and the strain
ing mast creaking loudly enough to be
heard even in the roar of the wind.
The force driving against the little
sail was SO great that the rear end
of the sled tipped up with every
suddenly increased surge Of the air
currents, and in order to meet this
difficulty the boys shifted their posi-
tons farther back. This kept the sled
down. and, il the mast should not
break or the sail not be torn away,
they thought there would be nothing
to fear. For the wind on their backs
was absolutely right" and they found
no great difficulty in steering with
their nail-pointed sticks.
Thus they skinned safely over a
mile of their course. then over another
and another, gaining always in speed

TX ICE BOAT

>oM MARLOWE had read some
r. where tina. there were. or were
to be. such things as ice-boats-
~ sled-!ike affairs fitted with sails
and the idea strongly appealed to
him. He thought the long lake on
a. shore of which he lived would be
an idea. place for experiments when
me freeze-up came. and all during the
s.,umn he dreamed of sailing in an
,ce.boat. The incidental reference to
tho invention, or coming invention.
xhich he had read. gave no particu-
lars. but Tom thought he might rig
nm a sled with sail and make 1t
go"
So. when his cousin. Albert Strong,
a hoy about his own age, came on
,,sit TO the farm in January. Tom
confessed his aspirations, was greeted
with an encouraging interest. and IN
No great while the two boys set to
~ork. choosing as the body Of their
,ce.hoat A long, unused sled which
-tormerly had been employed in drag
ring small loads of supplies from the
village across the lake.
After working over this until 1t
was in pretty good shape, they bored
hole into its forward floor, and then
hogan the manufacture of their
"mast." This latter was nothing more
than ten-foot stick about two inches
4, diameter, with two four-foot cross
nieces. one nailed even with the top
and the other about four feet below.
To these cross pieces they attached
with strong cords small sail OF stout
canvas. But before attaching the sail
thew fitted the lower end of the mast
into the hole in the sled and. after
uuch effort and experiment. made ii
stand firm.
"But what are we going to do about
a rudder?" asked Albert.
Tom had thought of this many times
and was not able to reach any sort Of
solution of the problem until it oc-
Cured to him that they might pad
die" their craft on a fairly straight
course, canoe fashion, by means of
long sticks thrust against the ice on
either side. Two suitable sticks were
therefore provided. nail being driven
half way into the end of each in
order to prevent them from slipping
when thrust against the ice.
BY this time the lake was In ideal
condition for the experiment, its wind.
swept central portion being clean OF
snow and smooth. dark surface OF
thick ice being exposed all along dis
lance Of ten or twelve miles. So,
with high hopes, the boys dragged
their invention out on the open frozen
surface and prepared to sail.
The first experiment was disappoint.
Ing. They had their sled-boat. their
sail and their steering paddles: blu,
here was but little wind. and they
