Flowers for tho Prlma pon,,

1t is said that the opera stars do not
receive as many flowers as formerly.
Inc treasurer of certain company
said to me the other day: Ten years
ago 1t was nothing for prima donna
to receive in single night $4,000 or
$4,000 worth OF flowers. If one OF the
best gets $500 worth after a great per.

lucky. 1t used to keep most of our

on IN that part OF the country where
| he formerly resided. Farms which a
few years ago were abandoned and
land that could have been had for the
asking. are now selling at figures
which would have been beyond the
widest dream OF ten years ago. One
abandoned farm sold at $3.50 an acre.
This is the direct result OF the dry
farming activity Of the last few years.
Great stretches Of country, heretofore
classed as arid and beyond reclaim
Ing. are now yielding large crops
This transformation is in part due to
the method OF conserving the mois-
t,ire in the soil, known as dry farm
ing, but the principal cause for the
new conditions is the heavier fall OF
moisture during the last few years.
This country is now enjoying wet
cycle. How long that condition will
remain is beyond human knowledge
to determine, but we can look for
ward with certainty to time when
the precipitation will be that of the
normal years, as determined by long
record Of yearly precipitation kept by
the weather observers. When the dry
years again come, dry farming will be
less profitable, thought 1t is possible
hat much land OF late redeemed by
his moisture conserving system of
blowing, narrowing and rolling the
soil, is permanently reclaimed and
will continue to yield profitable crops
even in dry years.

OGDEN CALLS A HALT
TO ExTRAvAGANCE.

The Salt Lake Republican says an
Ogden man was asked why his city
opposes the one-mill tax for a capitol
building and the Ogden man replied:
Ogden is not opposing 1t. I shall
vote for the tax. There are few men
who are talking against the PROPOSE
ton, but do not think Ogden gen.
orally is opposed to It," We doubt
that any Ogden man spoke as quoted.
The people OF this city ask for his
name. We venture the statement that
not 100 persons in Ogden will vote for
the extra tax.
The prime reason for voting down
this one~mill extra tax is to stop the
wild extravaganza in state govern
ment that has grown to alarming pro-
portions In tho last few years. Utah
has reached the limit Of taxation as
fixed by the constitution, and here it
is proposed to break down that bar
rier and vote more taxes and provide
for more expenditures. Why2 To
give Salt Lake real estate dealers
something on which to establish a
boom.
II Utah has suddenly awakened to
the realization that capitol Is neces-
sary. then Utah should proceed, as
would an individual who is seeking to
build home, to economic and
by that economy make possible a fund
with which to erect a suitable struc-
ture. This argument does not involve
the good or the bad qualities Of Salt
Lake, or the rivalry" or spite" of
Ogden, whichever you are pleased TO
call 1t, but goes to the essence of
good government, which is strict ac-
countability and absolute economy,
For thirteen years the state revenues
have been rapidly increasing. as prop.
erty values have increased, but not.
withstanding this increased drain ON
the taxpayers, the state has been ex.
pending all it has received and now
comes appealing for more. even to the
extent of overstepping the tax limit Of
the constitution.

Lacey for the locals, famed seventeen
of the Newarkers and allowed them
seven hits, three of which were made
by w. McGill, one a three-bagger, one
a two sacker and one single. In the
first inning eight men faced MeCor-
mick, pitching for the visitors, and a
balk, three passes and hit netted the
locals two runs. In the seventh ses-
session with the score four to two
Boyle and w. McGill singled, Urich
got a life on Heilbronner'S error and
three runs went over the pan when
Fischer connected for two sacks. The
locals got right back at the Newarkers
in the same inning, Millen being
passed, Heilbronner getting on by Ul-
lrichis error, Daniher getting life on
helder's choice, forcing Millen at
third. West then hit for two bases
scoring Heilbronner and Daimler and
coping the game. 1t looked bad in
the ninth, McGill getting in his
three base swat with one down but
Lacey was there with the necessary
strike-out. Heilbronner, of the Ham

locals but did not distinguish himself,
getting three out of four chances and
tanning twice. The Parksides gar
