Christmas Club
THE FARMERS AND CITIZENS
BANK OFFERS EASY PLAN
TO PROVIDE MONEY FOR
CHRISTMAS.

Everybody needs money for Christ
mas. Many people have trouble in
providing sufficient amount to buy
all the presents needed when the
time comes. The Farmers and Citi-
zens Bank of this city, offers an easy
plan to meet such contingency. On
December 26 it will start Christmas
Saving Club. Members will pay in a
small amount each week for fifty
weeks and at the end of that time
will receive checks for the total
amounts they have paid in plus an
additional 3. per cent. interest. The
plan is simple and systematic. There
will be different classes OF members.
For instance, one class will start in
by paying one cent the first week,
two cents the second week, three
cents the third week, and so on for
fifty weeks, the last weeks payment
amounting to fifty cents, or they
may reverse the order of pay
ments by paying fifty cents
the first week and paying
one cent less each succeeding week,
which brings the last weeks pay
ment down to one cent. Members
in this class will receive checks two
weeks before Christmas for $1275,
with interest. There will also
be classes starting with two and
five cents. Payments must be made
promptly every week or in advance
for as many weeks as may be con-
venient.
It will not only prove beneficial to
grown people, but will prove very
popular with young people. 1t is
very simple and the details are easily
understood when explained. Every
body is welcome to join and the
Farmers and Citizens Bank will be
pleased to have those interested call
and learn all about it. Those desir-
ing to become members can join after
December 26th.

GROWING RICE IN MEXICO.

Rice in considerable quantities is raised in Mexico, but the method of cultivation is most primitive. No attempt is made at irrigation. Land is cleared by felling the timber and burning over the field. The soil is not plowed. Planting is done from June to August. A hole is made in the soil with a stake, and the seed dropped in and covered. It is plant ed in rows about a foot apart and at about the same distance apart in rows. No cultivation is given to the growing crop beyond an attempt to keep down the weeds with a ma chete or hoe.

ANcIENTs HATE BUFF TROUSERS,

The members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company have decided not to wear buff trousers when they go to London next sum- mer. This matter was decided promptly at meeting in Faneuil hall, when a committee on new uni- forms made its report.
 This committee had been instruct ed to look over the field and to sug- gest clothing for the members which should be uniform in fact. With the rejection of the committee report the matter was tabled, and it is believed that its members will continue their research work until some color scheme approved by all. or a major lty of the members shall be submit- ted-Boston Transcript.

ARE FOLD MAID" FACTORIES
pr. Sprague Denounces What He Calls Greatest Evil of Higher
 Education,

Denouncing colleges as "old maid factories" and blaming women for being so fond of society and auto- mobiles that they cannot find time to raise families, Dr. Robert J.. Sprague of Amherst Agricultural college has found what he considers one of the greatest evils of higher education.
 "The business life wears off that restraint between the sexes that causes interest" said Dr. Sprague. "Women become so accustomed to the constant and daily society of men, and vice versa, that marriage isn't thought of.
 "The woman finds she is making money and has a nice, comfortable home. Why should she marry?"
 "The professional woman has money of her own-she need not get 1t from a husband. Is it a wonder that she dreads to exchange for de- pendency, for husband with an in- come perhaps smaller than her own, for the monotony of a home, and for the cares of babies ?''-Boston Dispatch to New York Herald.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

consist of the governor, secretary
OF state, state auditor, state trea-
surer, and attorney general, uniess
otherwise provided by law. This
amendment contemplates the ap.
pointment Of board by the COVER
nor consisting Of four residents of
the state. The terms Of office TO
be four years, but two members
shall be appointed each two years.
The labors Of the regular officers
Of the state have become SO mus
titudionous and the work of the
board SO arduous it has seemed
necessary to have a commission
whose members can devote most
of their time to the work.
z. The system of taxation in
Utah is crude, 1t has reached
the unreasonable rate of nearly
four per cent. 1t is unevenly and
unjustly assessed. We have fallen
INTO the habit OF reducing the as
sessed valuation to a point some
times as low as thirty per cent OF
the actual casa value of the prop
erty. This occasions higher rate
OF taxation to provide the neces-
sary funds for running the machin.
cry of the state. The amendment
here proposed intends to raise the
assessed valuation to- the cash val
lie Of the property and reduce the
rate. This will be more business
like, will reduce the discretionary
powers now so much abused by
assessors and still result in no
greater burden to the taxpayer. 1t
also provides for an equitable and
fair assessment on all property to
the end that all property shall be
assessed at the same rate as all
other property within its class.

The originate constitution made
mortgages exempt from taxation. A
subsequent amendment changed
this making mortgages liable to
taxation. This amendment restores
1t to its original form and renders
mortgages again exempt.
8. This amendment is calculated
to segregate coal from the other
minerals leaving precious metals in
one class and providing FOR taxa
ton to be levied on coal, hydro-car.
bon and stone deposits separately
from other minerals ana renders
these products subject to taxation
as provided by law.
The eight amendments are offered
to the electors as a necessity in the
judgment Of the officers of the state
and If they receive an Affirmative
vote at the election on the fifth day
of November next, having already
received the approval OF two-thirds
Of the members OF each house of the
legislature, and having been approved
by the governor they will become
amendments to the state. constitution
and laws will be enacted to carry
out their provisions.

COUNTRY.
Il
The country has known during like
period a greater prosperity than during the ad-
minstration of President Taft.
In 1909 there a government financial de-
nct Of s5S735OoO.
In 1911 there was a surplus of s47,234,000.
Which speaks volumes for the economy and
wisdom OF Mr. Tafts methods of political house
cleaning and compact organization.
In 1897 the value Of all farm products was four
rId onehalf billion dollars and in 1912 estimated
by u. s. Department of Agricuture), the figures
reach nearly eight and one-half billions.
Farm land has doubled in value in the last
ten years-but the principal increase has been
during the Taft administration.
President Taft has protected agricultural in
tcrests by his veto of the dangerous wool and
sugar bills
But the greatest service his administration has
done to the farmer is the making and maintain
ing of home market.
National prospery-mills and factories run
ming full time mines working extra shifts every
man who is willing to work employed, wages good.
These thngs-buit on confidence in Taft and
his policles-are what create the farmers home
market and uphold his land values.

The campaign is well along. The men who

One thing is certain. A vote for the Third Term
candidate is a vote for the Professor. PleaBe get
that fixed in your mind. Just as surely as your
ballot goes in for the Bull Moose ticket, it counts
one more vote for untred theories, and for the
same kind of business destruction-the actual hui
