WHY CAN'T CEDAR
CITY DO AS MUCH?

The Parents class of both
wards of Nephi appointed a
steering committee" to take up
the matter of amusements in our
community. This move will be
welcomed by the people of Ne
phi. "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy"
The committee will first take
up the question of trying to ir-
duce the city council to dispose
of all three parks and put the
money so derived into one park
close to town centrally located.
Every man, woman, and child
will be called upon to lay aside
their daily tolls on Thursday af-
ternoon of each week and join in
the sports and recreation. A
move will be made to furnish
a gymnasium so the boys and
girls will have some place to
spend the winter evenings. One
of the main objects of the COM
mittee will be to better the NOR
al conditions of our city and to
enlist the support of every true
citizen to assist them in accom-
plishing the undertaking. One
of the strongest organizations in
our city at present is the Par
ents Glass. These classes take in
all the parents of our town ire

united effort on the part of this

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
FOR BEAVER COUNTY

As outlineain our columns a
few weeks ago, A. N. Hum
phries, N. 7. Porter and associ-
ate. including quite a number of
gentlemen, have taken up 25, 900
acres of land under the Carey
Act and we are advised their APP
plication has been approved by
the State Board of land commits
sioners. They propose to irri-
gate this land by water pumped
with electricity. The land lies
on the bench East and southeast
of Milford and better land never
lay outdoors. This is one of the
big things of Beaver County and
if it is a success will mean ten
times that amount in the course
of the next few years. We also
prohpesy that irrigating this
Is. 600 on the bench will sub-ir-
rigate probably twice as much
additional land lying below it in
this same valley. That has been
the history o: Utah valleys
where the benches have been
irrigated. The water seeps out
below and in the course of a few
years the sub-irrigated land
below is worth as much as or
more than the original irrigated
land on the bench. = Beaver

idea of taking everything from

FARMER SUPPORT
OF THEM ALL

1t is not new. but still it is
worth repeating, that the farmer
is the nost important man in the
Industrial world. He not only
feeds everyone else. but he pro-
duces all the materials with
which to clothe them, and many
of those with which to house
them.
1t is on agriculture that the
prosperity of this country is
founded, and therefore it is only
natural that the politicians
should seek the welfare of the
farmers. Probably the Depart
ment of Agriculture is the most
beneficial branch of the govern
ment, as it is continually work
ing to tell how to produce bet
ter, bigger, and more varied
crops. Oranges, raisins, lemons,
dates, dates, figs. almonds, wal
nuts, olives and many other
things have been added to our
list of productions in recent
years. Tea is now being grown
in this country. Coffee is pro-
duced in our island possessions.
1t is proposed to introduce some
of the wild animals of Africa in
to this country to supplement
the food supply. And while
seeking new products. the
government scientists have
taught the farmer how to pro-
duce more corn and wheat, and
better live stock.
Mr.. w. S. Gunsalus, farmer
living near Fleming, Pa, says
he has used Chamberlain's Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy in his family for fourteen
years. and that he has found it
to be an excellent remedy, and
takes pleasure in recommending
it. For sale by Palace Drug
