been awarded premiums.
Fought for Bench
Mr.. Swingle has during the years
OF development on the bench been
foremost in his fights for growth of
the section. Shortage of water and
other difficulties have been taken up
by him as the leader and in nearly
every instance he has come out win
ner. AS member Of the water board
he has had in mind first the inter-
ests of his particular section, which
is most commendable, and through
his efforts water has been made
available when 1t was thought i'm
possible by his neighbors.
