COUNTY OFFICERS SUSTAINED

The right of Percy Jeffery, WILL
lam Mccall and Roy Brown to. hold
their offices as commissioners of the
Camas-Monteview highway district in
Jefferson county was decided in their
favor Saturday by the state supreme
court. Separate actions were insti-
tuted against the commissioners by
Clifford L. Sharp to GUST them from
office and collect the $500 allowed
by the state law in each case.
Governor C. c. Moore has been
waiting the outcome of the appeals
taken separately by the commission
ers in order to know whether or not
to appoint new commissioners. The
courts decision upholds the commits
sioners and they will remain in Of
flee until succeeded at an election in
the district
Removal Sought
Sharp assigned three specific
grounds for the removal OF the COM
missioners from office The first Of
these is that they did not require two
banks in which the district had funds
to deposit securities or give bond for
the safekeeping of the money. The
second is that the commissioners in
tentionally failed, refused and neg
lected to fix uniform rate, or any
rate, of interest to be paid on dis
trict funds and thirdly, that the COM
missioners, at their first meeting,
failed to appoint treasurer for the
district.
The testimony showed that at the
time Of the commencement of the
action the district had a bank bal
ance of $2.95, but had had balance
of some $1,000 before that time. The
record also shows, the opinion says,
that the commissioners made re-
peated efforts but in vain, to get Sc
curity of the funds.
The court found that the commits
sioners made no servere infraction of
the law when they failed to appoint
q treasurer at their first meeting.
The 1928 legislature made
change in the law providing for the
removal Of public officers by legislat-
ng that the $500 judgment hereto

CHANGES IN THE
REPUBLICAN OFFICE

Wesley Lantis, the foreman in The
Republican office, leaves this week
for San Francisco, to accept a posi-
ton with the Ludlow Typograph
company as travelling salesman. The
position has been open to him for
some time and appears to be better
position than the one he has been
filling.
Mr.. Lantis had been with The
Republican office nine years and
nine months the first day of Novem-
Der, with the exception of an interval
during the war when he was at San
Francisco operating crew Of
navvies loading vessels for Siberia
In the years he has lived at Black
foot he has made many friends and
acquired some good property, and
still considers Blackfoot his home.
His place has been filled by Mr..
L. w. Leefeldt Of Oak Park, ILL.,, a
suburb Of Chicago, who with his wife
came out the last of the week, and
hope to become fixtures in Blackfoot.

MULES IN THE CHEESE BUSINESS

1t is one of the outstanding dis
tinctive features which impresses
the instructor in moral things that
the very simplest and APPARENTLY OBJ
viOus matters must nevertheless be
continually drilled into the pupils
mind. The necessity of respecting
another's property, his life, or honor,
or in fact of realizing that another
man has just as many rights as we
ourselves should not need to be i'm
pressed.
If the milk producer would only
caring for his milk in the fall of the
year that he does during the period
of summer heat the fall milk would
be in perfect condition at all times.
The trouble with the farmer is that
when the cooler nights appear and
the frost is seen in the morning he
at once comes to the conclusion that
the cooler weather will take care of
the milk without any attention on
his part. Not only does he neglect
to cool the milk as promptly as pos
sible, and letting out the animal heat
by keeping the cover off the can for
at least half hour after milking,
but he Immediately stops all efforts
at cooling the milk promptly and in
many cases also puts the cover on
tight thus shutting up the natural
animal heat in the can. 1t can
hardly be otherwise than that the
milk treated this way is delivered to
the factory next morning with foul
flavor and inclined to different kinds
of bacteria.

dust and excelsior instead of hay and
grain. 1t was an ingenious device
and succeeded in fooling the mule.
1t would have been a great success
had not the mule died. In another
sense this is exactly what the farmer
is doing to the cheese industry by his
careless handling of fall and winter
milk. If every farmer could have
the truth Of this shown to him, what
a great Improvement we would have
in the cheese industry almost over
night. But it does not happen, in
stead the farmer and cheese-maker
together are sending the bulk cheese
industry to the bow-wows.
This is not fool proof world. We
pay for such carelessness. The con-
sumner eats cheese for flavor, not for
the purpose of buying something to
chew on. We are not deveiving any
one but ourselves. An increase in
production and no increase in con-
sumption. Yes we pay and pretty
stin price too. The green spetacles
are not on the mules eyes, but upon
our own.

BROWNING MURDER TRIAL

SALT LAKE CITY.-There is
great interest here in the murder
case of Mariner and John Brown
ing, Jr., the latter the son of the
famous Ogden, Utah, firearms in
ventor, which was scheduled to be-
gin in district court Monday. The
Brownings are charged with murder
in the first degree as result of the
fatal shooting here last April of
Benjamin F. Ballantyne, brother-in-
law of John Browning, Jr.
The case was set for September
20, but was postponed because of the
illness Of Thomas Marioneaux, one
of the attorneys for the defense.
A complaint charging the Brown
ings with first degree murder was
filed soon after the fatal shooting. In
binding them over to the third dis
trict court last May for trial, City
Judge Noel S. Pratt reduced the
charge to murder in the second de-
gree, and the defendants were re-
leased under bonds of $4,000 each.
In the belief that the lower court
had no right, in view of the evidence,
to reduce the severity of the charge,
District Attorney Rogers filed an in
formation in the Third district court
charging murder in the first degree.
His course was sustained by Judge
G. A. Iverson, of the Third district
court. Counsel for the defendants
had vigorously contested the district
attorneys action. The defendants
we're admitted to bond of $4,000
each. 1t is expected that consider
able time will be consumed in the
selection of jury for the trial of
he case.

the milk originates from is the care
the milk receives on the farm. Only
with the assistance of the cheese
factory patrons in handling theiI
milk the proper way can we succeed
in making high quality cheese. The
first step is cleanliness and must be
practiced and put in force from the
time the milk is drawn from the COW

The off-favors caused by feeding,
and handling the milk are under the
patrons control. They have it in
