Has Solved Problem

One Of the greatest problems be-
fore the American people has been
now to interest in rural life and
attach to the farm the young man
who has acquired a liberal education
and display capacity for leader
ship. The loss of rural leaders by
emigration to the city has been one
of the most serious retrogresslve
factors in our whole civilization.
The farmers cooperative demonstra-
ton work has solved the problem.
These young men left the farm be-
cause they were repealed BY hard
ships, excessive toll, and meager
gains on the farm and were allured
by seemingly greater opportunity
to acquire wealth, influence and
position in the city. The demon
stration work undertakes to create
in the schoolboy love of the farm
and a new hope by showing the
wonderful possibilities of the soil
when properly managed and the
ease with which wealth and distinc-
ton are achieved in rural life when
science and art in hands. This is
worked out by the cooperation Of
the demonstration workers, the
county superintendent of public
instruction, the rural teachers aud
the special agents of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
The superintendent and teachers
organize the schoolboys over 10
years Of age into clubs, the demon
stration work furnishes the plan of
organization aud the instructions
(which the boys agree to obserye);
the respective parents furnish land,
teams, and implements; the mer.
chan and bankers provide the prizes
and the local paper gives the public
ity. Each boy must personally
work one acre under same regula-
tions governing all other contest
ants. The result Of 800 to 400
boys entering such contest in a
county arouses intense interest.
The boy learns the best way to raise
corn or cotton and his appreciation
of the farm is greatly EXCHANGED.
The boys in the corn contest of
one county in Mississippi last year
averaged production of "a bushels
Of corn per acre, while the farmers
average less than 20. In South
Carolina one hoy raised l52 IL
bushels on a measured acre, while
the state average was TO- John r.

UNITED STORES TO
ENTER SALT LAKE

Salt Lake. Jan. 12.-"Aftcr the 1st

oregon Short Line tickle. offices are
now located was the statement made
this afternoon by Edward Wise, vice.
president OF the United Cigar Stores
COMPANY
Some months ago the United CT
gar Stores company secured a ninety
nineyear lease OH this property. one
OF the principal business corners in
Salt Lake. subject TO the lease OF the
railroad company. which has two years
yet 10 rin. The o. ]. Salisbury com.
pany owns the property.
The building on the corner of Main
and Second South streets has been
occupied by the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line as an uptown tick
ct office for some time. Tho opening
of big cigar store at this location
will mean an immediate change being
made by the railroad companies, and
1t Is deemed probable that the ticket
offices VIII be removed to the Herald
building, where the Salt Lake route
Offices are now situated, and that the
Clark line ticket Office will be held
Jointly with those of the Hartman
lines.
The lease OF the United Cigar
Stores company involves ultimately a
big improvement of the whole cor

-Four OF these cars came In from Clear
Creek and Castle Gate ninea, on the
Rio Grande system. and one car ar
rived from Rock Springs,
Four of the local coal dealers have
n standing order with the Union Pa
oific Coal company for one car every
week, two of the local dealers have
orders with the same company for
two cars each every week. and two
other Ogden dealers have orders with
the Union Pacific Coal company for
one car each daily.
At the present time the Ogden coal
dealers are about 29 cars behind their
orders, the coal being diverted to Ore
gon Short Line territory between
Granger and Huntington and between
Pocatello and Butte. There has been
something of coal famine in many
towns along that road and the Union
Pacific Coal company has deemed IL
best TO send the coal In that direction
rather than west TO Utah points.

would be advanced In price. While
IT IS true that more Of the precious
metals are being mined each year,
IL is also true that the demand for
these minerals becomes greater with
each succeeding generation. TO the
