rell, disembarked from overseas a
few days ago, suffering from a for
midable attack of spinalmeningitis
and has been for some days in q

.Oliver Kunz of Beru, Bear Lake
county, is here again helping his
brother Ezra on the Castle Hill farm.
They are irrigating the beet land
where the beets failed to come up,
due to the dry winds and no rain.
They hope by this method to make
fair stand at least.
Most of the farmers in this locality
are having to irrigate their beet
land in order to get the beet seed
to sprout, and in consequence will
lose heavily. Some are tearing up
the ground and reseeding 1t, even
tho the lateness of the season will
make normal crop Impossible.
Dan Jackson, one of the fighting
boys of Rich, arrived home from
France few days ago and is look
ing fine and happy. He left for the
front with smile and 1t has grown
more pronounced despite the rough
experiences he has so recently passed
thru. 1t is a smile that simply won't
come off.
On Thursday, May %, farewell
party was given at the hall in honor
of Miss Matte Murdoch, who is leav-
ing for mission field.
Williams and Baker, who are
farming the Mary Williams place are
replanting their beets.

music and every one danced until
morning.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF
PROMISE Aka ;SERISM' CEASE

Senators have brought out the fact
that while the proposed covenant
drawn up at Paris contains nearly
100000 words, there is not single
clause barring the former kaiser or
any of the other Hohenzollerns or
junker from again establishing and
occupying throne in Germany. Be-
cause of the lack of a real leader in
Germany at this time and the gov
eminent in chaotic condition, it is
believed here that it is within the
realm of possibility that coup
d'etat might be attempted unless the
treaty is changed to meet such a
condition.

County Clerk Worked Hard
All these facts in themselves
would be unavailing in securing a
good bond sale, if the facts were
not communicated to bond buyers.
Our county officials were not con-
tent to have the procedure correct
and legal and let it go at that; they
made it known to the bond buyers
that conditions were as we have
stated. In other words they adver-
tised those facts in the most effec-
tive way they could and brought as
many bond buyers as possible to the
bidding.

It was shown, however, that an

fast enough for the machine, at the
demonstration, which was given near

Important Business Carefully Guided
The people Of Bingham county
have been anxious about the hand
ling Of all the business connected
with the bond sale and all the BUSH
ness connected with the expenditure
OF money or road improvement. The
officials have gone along quietly and
attended to business and have scored
their first big success. officials who
have SO successfully safe-guarded the
peoples interest thru the first i'm
portant transactions are q most hope.
full trust for the continued service
that will march them thru all the
ups and downs Of construction work
and the payment for it.
An Act In Time
The commissioners have been
studying diligently to learn the best
ways and the best materials for road
building and the people have every
reason to feel assured that they have
placed the business Of the county in
goods hands and adopted a good
course in voting the bonds when they
did.
- Sold In One Block
1t was the intention Of the board
to sell one-third of the bonds this
year, one-third in one year and one
third in two years and to have the
bids made accordingly. AS they
learned more about the way that
would turn out they found they could
sell to as good advantage in one
block, have all the money placed in
the Bingham county banks, have the
banks pay a rate of interest to the
county on the unused money that
would just about offset the interest
which the county pays to the bond
holders and thereby enable the peo-
pie OF this county to have the use
OF that money by. borrowing 1t Of
the bank until such time as 1t is
needed for road expenditures. It
gives the local people that much
more available money at the prevail
ing interest rates; gives the bank
a chance to do larger amount Of
business in matters that will yield
them small margin Of profit and
yet keep all of the bond money avail
able for use by the commissioners
as fast as they want it.

Wrote 125 Histories

F. M. Fisher, the county clerk,
had done his duty when he adver-
tised these matters in the official
papers of the county, but he did not
stop there, realizing that after bond
ing they would want to know certain
facts and that it would be expensive
for them to send somebody to ex-
anime the records and study the
whole history of the transaction, and
being familiar with it himself he
prepared the history or abstract of
the whole matter, complete, from
date of the first meeting on the sub
ject down to the hour when the
bond sale was authorized Debating
all this subject matter to a stenog-
rapher and having it typewriter and
reproduced on the Neostyle to the
number of 1875 copies, he was able

Fans Are Pleased Over
Plans For Steelton Show;
Big Championship Program

Joe Barrett, the Steelton boxing
promoter, scored a hit with local
fans when he signed up Billy An
gelo, the Greek lightweight cham
pion and Billy Logan, the coal fields
champion, to meet in a ten-round
bout before the Olympia A. c. next
Wednesday night.
The terrific six-round bout put up
by these two tigers of the ring last
week, is still the talk of the local
sporting circles.
Another bout, fit to be a head
liner on any big city's bill, was
clinched by the veteran promoter
last night, when articles were re-
ceived by Barrett, signed by Frank
Bear, manager of Young Fulton, the
best bantam in the anthracite region
and Max Waxman, manager of Kid
Richmond, of Balti2nore, who are to
cash in the semi-windup. Fulton's
great boxing before the local clubs
last season has made the Allentown
boy great favorite, while Rich
mond is the boxing partcer of Kid
williams, the undefeated, but de-
throned champion of the world.
Barrett's one aim is to please his
many patrons who have stood by him
during his several mishaps last sea-
son.
With four clean knockouts to his
credit in as many fights, Billy At
ticks will be called upon to meet
tougher game, in the coming show,
when he clashes with Jack Cleayer,
another Allentown boxer. Hal Shay
will meet Kid Richmond.

Is Best Weapon
For Bolshevism

warming against the destructive
menace of Bolshevism was uttered
here to-day by Peter w. Collins, di-
rector general of the reconstruction
and employment service of the
Knights of Columbus. Mr.. Collins
addressed the convention of the In
diana Bankers Association. He is
an expert in the labor field and was
employed in that capacity by the

sense is the best weapon for Boil
shevism," says Mr.. Collins. "It is
the one thing most feared by Boil
shevists."
Mr.. Collins spoke Of Bolshevism
as that peril is viewed from the
standpoint of the workman. He de-
clared, speaking as one who under
stands the hopes and aspirations OF
labor, that the doctrines of Lenine

take root in America, would tear
