 Speaking of the advantages of a simple life. MT. Metzgar said. "A simple life is modern life, simply lived. It's advantages are better health, promotion of thrift, better understanding and equal privileges to everyone; nof only for the individual, but the community and even the nation. :" He admonished people who are contemplating moving to other towns to weigh the advantages instead of the disadvantages or the other places.
 The program was opened by MT. Henrickson who played two well rendered selections on the banjo. "AlasEa's Flag" recited by Mary Loken and the song. "Sing leigh, Sing Ho" by the fifth grade pupils were both gooi numbers, and playlet entitled, Finding the Thanks in Thanks giving by Myrtle Feero, Alice Sey, Glen Kirkham and Archie Edmiston was a feature number.

quietly to the music There fathers who stood

The free concert, given in public park by fam

citys love for good music. People not particularly
interested IN music might perhaps sit through such
concert simply because the seats free and the
presence Of so many people more less exciting The
behavior of great crowd, listening to lovely orches

BOrnt Files New
Action For Money

A civil action was filed at the
county clerk s office this morning
by II. J. Bornt against Harmon
Temple.
Rornt filed IN action against Tenn
pie on May 10, 1926, in which he
charged that by trick and device
Temple had obtained possession of
some cattle, % head in number. He
asked judgment of 500 at that
time. Temple went to court with
Bornt in the case. charging that
he had paid over the cash to Bornt
for the cattle. Temple was able
to furnish witnesses to bear out his
testimony that he had paid Bornt
and Judgment in his favor was filed
on February %, last.
Bornt was denied a re-trial when
his attorney sought to have the
judgment vacated and the case re-
tried.
\ few weeks later Temple began a
criminal action against Bornt,
charging him with having attempt
ed to bribe a witness in the case.
Bornt has been held to answer 10
the superior court on the charge.
In the complaint filed this morn
ing Bornt seeks judgment in the
sum of 1915, charging that this
money is due him from Temple as
a result of the sale of some live
stock for an agreed price. He sets
the date of the sale as May 10, 1925,
which was the date upon which the
transaction was made that laid n
basis for the first case.
