Suttonites Enjoy
Evening Of Fesivity

A score and ten merry folks, all
old-time acquaintance and neigh
bors in Sutton, Nebr., were invited to
the Egly home last Tuesday evening
for three-fold purpose, namely: To
enjoy a splendid dinner, to spend a
happy evening together socially, and
to surprise Mr.. and Mrs c.. H. Barn
stable, bride and groom of not many
months. a.
The large dining table was arr
ranged very nicely and simply laden
with all sorts of the best things to
eat and when the party of thirty
two were seated about it in family
style, it was indeed a sight to behold,
and the gratitude and affection that
filled each heart, one for the other,
made the affair a most unusually
pleasant one. The greater part of
the evening passed merrily at the
dining table, while the participants
cracked jokes and recalled to men,
DRY many happy occasions and Incl
dents that took place "at home" in
the days of yore. ....
After dinner the moments passed
gleefully in music and social CONVEX
sation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnstable were pre-
sented with very fine rocking chair
as a little token of well-wishing from
their friends. They were both de-
lighted and were profuse in words
of appreciation to the folks who had
so kindly remembered them.
Each year these same folks gather
together and celebrate and renew
their acquaintance and thereby bind
the existing ties of friendship be-
tween them little tighter! The
affair is always looked
forward to and never fails to be an
occasion of much fun and pleasure
for all.

Division of judicial districts by
which the third, fourth, fifth, sixth,

provided with two judges, was intro

same bill would abrogate the provis-
ions Of another senate bill which pro-
vided that Bonneville, Clark and JEFF
ferson counties would comprise a
new district. The measure places
Bonneville, Fremont and Teton in the
same district, which it resignates
as the nineth. The sixth district
would take over the counties Of Madi-
son and Jefferson and add another
judge. In the sixth district would
be Bingham, Butte, Custer, Lemhi,
Clark, Madison and Jefferson.
BOISE, Idaho, Misunderstanding
of legislation featured the past week
during which more than 100 bills
were sent to the governor. The out
look Is that the session will end Sat-
urday night, or two days over the
pay limit.
The most interesting event of the
past few days was the presentation
of the report on conditions in the
office of former Adjutant General
Moody, which has been under inves-
tigation for three weeks by a special
committee. The report advised fur
Their inquiry into the use of funds by
both Moody and former Governor
Alexander, with the suggestion that
If the attorney general and the Ada
county prosecuting attorney find
cause for action they institute
criminal proceedings against them
Other members of the former state
administration may become involved
because, as members of the examin-
ing board, they allowed the illegal
claims and winked at the alleged ir-
regularities in the use Of funds.
1t Is believed the senate will pass
the house bill providing bonds to
build wings to the capital building
to remove state disgrace in the
shape of two buildings now used for
state Offices which should be con-
demned in the opinion of public
men. The house bill calls for a |
100000 bond issue, but the same
may cut it to 100000 to provide
Tor one wing during the next two
1ears.

Gasoline Economy

These facts of Franklin construction affect
the whole performance of the car. Because
of Scientific Light Weight, because OF Flexible
Construction, the Franklin is not only economi.

to its owners of 20 miles to the gallon of gaso-

Heavy Weight Pounds Out Tires

IL is excess weight that prevents the
average heavy and rigid car from equaling the
tabhey-krosvn Franklin tire mileage. The action
of the weight of an automobile on its tires is
similar TO hammer blow-and the heavier the
hammer, the harder and more destructive the
blow. Heavy weight pounds out tires prema-
turely. And the heavy car owner, accustomed
to paying for tire-mileage he doesni get, accepts
it as part of the game-until he meets Franklin
owner.

jects about which uncertainty apd

among former service men. Cues
tions will also be answered on gen

military and naval regulations,
history of the war, work of incivid-
ual units and the like.
Sector, In soldier slang. did not
necessarily mean definite stretch
of the battlefront Paris, for in
stance, might be referred to as a
fast sector" the leave areas as
rest sectors;" Tours, with all its
headquarters etiquet and irksome
regulations, as a dizzy sector"
the busting dock Of Brest or Bor-
deaux as busy sectors. The
Home Sector" therefore, means
simply the homeland. the United
States.
The following policy is outlined
by the editors:
The Home Sector will aim to be
independent, outspoken, and always
constructive. It expects to be frank,
sunny, hopeful, optimistic and in
spirational. 1t will have a lively
interest in the welfare of the dis
charged service man, in what his
government, his state and his town
are doing for him, in what he is
doing for his town, his state, his
government and himself in all
plans and movements in which the
soldier and sailor, turned civilian,
is intimately concerned. 1t will as
sumo that the 100000 former ser
vice men in America are neither
highbrow nor lowbrow, that they,
as the heirs of the republic, are the
men upon whom the responsibilities
of national and world citizenship
are descending- 1t will impress
upon the former service man the
fact that, not because he was a
soldier, but because he is a citizen,
the destinies OF the greater Amer
lea must inevitably rest upon him.
