Site Selected For
Union High School
SANDY. Feb. 7. The Sandy. Union
high school board met today and dur
ing their deliberations accepted the
offer made by Ed. F. Burns to do
nate a site for a high school building.
This site contains of three and a half
or four acres and is located on the
Bluff road west of the Sandy cream
ery. . The land is practically all clear
ed, and is a beautiful site and can be
seen from the highway.
Sandy and the surrounding1 districts
are jubilant over this Taluable dona
tion, and with the prospects of sever
al other districts coming in soon, the
situation looks indeed hopeful for the
completion of a new building by next
September. A good high school will
be the biggest asset possible to this
entire section.
Another valuable site of five acres
was offered as a donation by W- A.
Proctor, but with the necessity of
clearing the land, it would be impos
sible to get a building ready by next
fall.
County Superintendent Vedder was
present at the meeting and gave the
board valuable suggestiors and out
lined similar plans that are being car
lied out in other districts. Mr. Ved
der is very enthusistic over the pos
sibilities of this union high school, and
is working day and night to further
the movement.

Local Farm Bureau
Organized at Sandy
SANDY, Feb. 7. There was a called
meeting at the Odd Fellow's hall Sat
urday for the purpose of organizing a
local Farm Bureau here. A lengthy
discussion in which failures of organ
izations to make good for 'the armer
were aired, and some even hinted that
the farm bureau was just another
"bait thrown out to catch the farmer."
Mr. Annin of Kelso who was reared
in Denmark said he was glad the
farmer "was having it bady," for when
he got far enough down in the mud
he would make a struggle, to get out.
"When things in Denmark came to the
pass the farmers are in here they went
together and elected their own men,
made their own laws, and said 'the
sooner we get together and do the
same, the better." .
A. C. Thomas advocated getting
together as a farmer's political party,
and said "fill the Legislature with
farmers if you want anything."
A. Li. Mattingly scored the "politics"
which took Senator Kenyon out of. his
position where he could be of untold
interest to the farmers, and placed
him on the supreme bench where he
"could not 'hurt' anything." Mattingly
also energetically scored a certain
Senator who has failed to work for the
farmer discussed taxes gave figures
to show that the rate at which the
taxes have increased the past few
years if continued, will result in the
confiscation of the land. F. Lohrmann
also showed up the Esch-Cummins law
as being largely responsible for the
purchasing power of the farmer being
depreciated to such an alarming ex
tent. After these live-wire talks about
conditions in general, and some per
sonal conditions as well, somebody
said, "but what are you going to do
about it?" Things calmed down, then
Hart, the presiding officer made a plea
for the Farm Bureau, and Mr. Thomas,
who said he had been in the habit of
"biting" every time anything came
along said he would stay with the
Bureau this year, and others decided
to do the same, with the result that a
local organization was formed with
Ed. Hart president and Walter Krehs
secretary."
Farewell Surprise

SANDY, Feb. 6. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Krebs were "amazed" when a big
