TOM MIX'S NECKTIE A TARGET
Tom Mix has done many daredevil
stunts for the screen, but his latest
made for his new William Fox photo
play "The Coming of the Law" caps
them all
In one scene Mix is walking along
mountain range. A member of a
lawless gang shoots at him. The
camera shows the man shooting, and
then the lens is turned on Mix. Mix
wanted to show the bullet in its
flight so he ordered Pat Chrisman
to stand out of sight of the camera
and shoot hole through his neck
tie.
Mix stood nonchalantly looking
from the mountain top in Hollywood.
Pat Chrisman pulled the trigger. His
aim was trifle faulty, for the bull
let passed underneath the knot in the
tie and scraped thread on the neck
button of Mix's shirt. Mix turned to
Chrisman quietly and said;
"You will have to do that over
again, Pat. You didn't hit the tie" So
Pat fired again as the camera ground
and this time the bullet speeded thru
the edge of the knotted tie.
Mix was asked afterwards if that
scene didn't make him nervous. He
replied:
"Why should 1? A bullet will go
any place you want it to go if you
are a good shot, and would let Pat
. Chrisman shoot crab apple off my
head"
''The Coming of the Law" is to be
shown at the Strand theater Thurs
day.

Educational Note.

Never try to find out anything, or
try TO learn anything, until not know

you for some time. Then you will
remember it, but not otherwise. Let
knowledge importune you before you

neck of the blouse, cut wide at

row, pleated frill of the same ma

sleeves, the belt and the wide,

was gathered. The belt was laid in

Out Of Sight, Out of Mind

While all motorists may not be
in the class with the chap who takes
an actual delight in spending all his
spare time tinkering about the
garage, most of them have some
knowledge of the inner and outer
working of their cars. They know
that spark plugs must be cleaned,
valves must be ground, that carbon
should not be allowed to accumulate
in cylinders, that the gear box must
be kept filled with grease, and that
even so matter of fact thing as a
tire appreciates an occasional change
of air. But according to Ed. Taylor,
manager Of the local "Exide' Ser
vice Station, the average motorist
knows practically nothing of his bat
terry except that it is there to furnish
current for starting and lighting.
"A mighty wise man." said Mr..
Taylor asserted years ago that few
people realized they had a stomach
unless it gave them trouble, and a
similar statement would apply
equally we'll in connection with start
ing and lighting batteries" With
the battery, it's matter of "out of
sight, out of mind; the battery
works on uncomplainingly until the
last ounce of strength is exhausted;
then come trouble and a big repair
bill.
All large battery troubles are
small in the beginning, and small
troubles can be readily avoided If
the battery is looked over regularly
by competent experts. Some motor
lists unfortunately take the attitude
that "the battery is there to start
the car, and start the car it must"
without realizing that the neglected
battery, no matter how we'll con-
structed, loses efficiency under the
tremendous strain that is put upon
it. Others feel that it would be ''too
much trouble to have the battery
inspected at regular intervals, yet
these same men would not think of
allowing their watches to run down
before reminding them.
when motorists thoroly appre-
ciate the great saving of time, money
and annoyance which follows the
regular inspection of their batteries,
we will see remarkable, country
wide increase in starting and light
ing efficiency. Many of the best in
formed motorists in town now come
to our service station at least once
a month and have their batteries
thoroly looked over. We take care

Shelley Men Get q Meeting

1t was agreed that a meeting
should be held on Wednesday even
ing, July Is and the commissioners
and Mr.. Stone should 60 to Shelley
in time to be driven over the routes
before dusk, and then go into the
meeting to consider everything with
the citizens.
Mr.. MILFORD Christensen said that
since he had been named by James
Christensen as a man who should
tell them how the people were con-
suited about locating roads, he was
gong to make statement, but he
was sorry that James was not pres
ent to hear his statement. He lives
on the line of road that is being i'm
proved connecting Goshen and Shell
ley. He said that James came to
him and told him the road leading
past his place was to be the one.
That suited him and there was moth
ing for him to say. Following this
remark there was spirited applause
from the men of Shelley, Goshen,
Presto and Firth.
w. S. Wright said that for fear the
Shelley men were misunderstood, he
wanted to say that Shelley wants two
roads so constructed that Firth,
Goshen and Shelley shall all be con-.
nected with each other and with the
farming districts, so people. can go
as easily to one as to another, and
give them all an equal chance at the
trade.

One of the purposes of Representa-
tive Osborne is to provide employ

factory and dangerous land it would
have cost about $500 for replace
/. ment of new lumber about every
five years. The cost of the fill is
about $500.
Lee Meyer asked If the change of
that part of the road was not for
scenic effect instead of for economic
reasons and Mr.. Stone said it was
utility and economy, and not in any
sense prompted by desire to make
better views of the lake.
All culverts in the road are gal
vanized iron laid in four inches of
concrete, all buried eighteen inches
below the surface of the road. Each
culvert has settling tank or mud
catcher three feet deep at each end.
All roads will be wet down by irriga-
ton or by sprinkling, and will be
rolled by ten-ton roller, with a
coat Of gravel and clay five inches
deep after being rolled hard. It will
be left with a coat Of black sand on
top, because the black sand does not
blow away, and it makes the best
wearing surface.
On being asked If five inch top
coat would not break thru with
heavy traffic, Mr.. Stone said that If
they put seven-ton load on a mar
row tired wagon and took it over the
road it would eventually ruin it. It
would ruin the city pavement if al
lowed. 1t would be necessary to
have traffic rules prescribing the
width of tires for the different
weights of loads.
Expects Big Waste
T, J. Bennett Of Shelley said he
thought we would find that 5000, 900
of our road bond money would 20

get the rest spent for real roads he
would be satisfied Mr.. Stone said
he had been engaged in road work
ever since he was boy and that he
had passed the stage of making sex
periments. He knew how to use ma
terials to get results and when he
had men who understood their bust
ness to direct the work there was no
need of experiments He had
brought in three foremen who have
learned their work, and Bingham
county is getting the benefit Of their
experience. Their work has been eff
fective from the start, and will be
so long as they direct the work. If
he had taken inexperienced men and
put them in charge of construction
gangs, he would be spending money

Shelley Men Ask
Mr.. Bennett acted as spokesman
for a number of Shelley men, includ-
ing T. w. Shelley, ]. F. Shelley, ].
L. Moore, W. s. Wright and others
who protested against the location of
the roads leading from Shelley east
and south. They asked Mr.. Christ
ensen how he had determined where
to build the roads and at what time
and place the people had been con-
suited.
+. Christensen ON the Carpet
Mr.. Christensen admitted that he
had called no meetings, and said he
had gone over the country and
talked with good many people and
that he and the others had located
the road in what they thought was
the very best place. That developed
a running argument in which ]. F.
Shelley tried to state his views, and
Mr.. Christensen from his seat kept
interrupting him by injecting re-
tOrts.
The Shelley men asked if they
could have meeting now and allow
the people to choose the location of
their roads and Mr.. Christensen said
they could. While all this was going
N, Mr.. Christensen was edging for
the door, saying he was pretty busy
and had sixty miles to drive yet, and
that he had done the best he could
and maybe they could find man
better suited to look after their pub
lie business. He said he wished they
would call on Mr.. MILFORD Christen-
sen, who was in the audience, and
he could tell them how people had
been consulted about the location of
the roads.
Buying Motor Trucks
There have been charges and ugly
rumors about who bought the trucks
and whether Commissioner Bills
made any commission on them. The
trucks bought last fall by the county
clerk had not enough power to
travel empty when in gravel, and
they were refused. There was also
the disadvantage of not having any
dealer or supply house in this part
of the world, and in placing the next
order, the commissioners were par
ticular to get type of truck that
has been used and proved salts
factory and one they could get re-
pairs for quickly Col sFugate was
appointed to buy the trucks and he.
bought the Nash Quad trucks after
a thoro study of the matter. He got
them thru the Pacific Nash Motor
company, and got them at competi-
tive prices. Whether any resident
of this county made something on
the order did not concern him so
long as he got them as cheap as he.
could get them anywhere else.
