MARKET NEWS
AND COMMENT
Abrupt Opening Recovery
Followed by Further
Advance in Prices.
RISE IN FINAL HOUR

aging News from Germany

Dispatches from Germany indicated
that efforts Of business interests there
cxcrted as expected toward avoiding
trouble with the United States, were
likely to influence the decision OF the
government on our demands, and prices
on tho Stock Exchange here rose
abruptly at the opening. Issues when
lad been weakest in Saturdays break
made overnight gains Of / TO points
and added TO their improvement as the
day went on. Repurchasing by traders
who had gone so heavily short Of the
market on Saturday did much toward
yesterdays advance.
The heavy decline in many specu-
lstive favorites in the week before
meant a good deal Of liquidation OF
long accounts, some of il forced, but
short covering and new purchasing by
traders was more than sufficient TO alb
sorb the offerings. Dealings at the
start were on very large scale, but
By the end Of the morning the read
justment seemed fairly well completed
and trading became quiet. A new ad-
hour that carried few issues TO higher
levels and brought the days total 10
over 100000 shares.
United States Steel, which this
afternoon is TO make known results

action on dividends, was particular
~ strong toward the close. ending
at its best, up more than 2 points.
Mercantile Marine issues provided the
principal excitement OF the late deal
ings. The common went up more than
= points to equal its highest Of the
year and the preferred rose more than
6. Trading in these issues were heavy,
more of the preferred certificates
changing hands than shares OF United
States Steel.
A good part OF Saturdays losses
were made up during the day, though
the recovery was rather irregular.
Active industrials on the day showed
gains Of up TO points or more, the
railroads of a fraction to point or
so and the coppers Of l to over s.
Some war stocks Jagged conspicuously
when the extent of last weeks losses
is considered.
Though the apparent improvement in
the German situation was the basis
for yesterdays advance in security
prices it must be admitted that this
Improvement was far from definite.
The German people still seem TO cling
"a the submarine as an effective weap-
on against England. No matter what
promises may be given and during
market hours there was no assurance
that such would be received-there will
remain danger of trouble from the act
Of any submarine commander

Have You Got
Yours All On :?

The fact that real winter has
held off remarkably this year has
made some people either forget
or neglect storm windows and
doors.
The majority of those who
have any have them on, and quite
a few people who didn't have
any last winter have bought full
sets and put them on.
But there are still others who
haven't done anything about
these protectors against cold
weather.
If you have not, you are likely
to wake up some morning to find
a blizzard raging or the thermo-
meter down in the twenties or
thirties below zero, and then you
will WISH YOU HAD THEM
ON.
We have a few more storm sash

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT

1t is an old saying that two heads are
better than one, and on the same prin
ciple two heads together are better
than one when they are facing in oppo
site directions. 1t will pay us to keep our
heads together in this town, for the
good of the town and each individual in
the town.
When we are facing in opposite di-
where and accomplish nothing. The
result of our labors is a cipher.
But not so when we get our heads to-
gether. Not so when we act as com
munity and not as individuals. Not
so when we all face a definite object
and pull until we get there.
1t is good to keep our heads together.
We learn each others ideas and am
bitions and thoughts, and from this
knowledge springs the impetus that
brings success to any community.
Some people talk much and do little.
Others talk little amt do much. A
few are betwixt and between and never
succeed in setting themselves or the
world afire.
There is however, happy medium
which will afford us the necessary out
let for our thoughts and yet serve the
good of the community at large.
Don't be clam. and don't be a hig
noise. Talk when you feel like it, but
talk sense and talk to the people who
have sense. When we do that we will
gradually bring to the surface the good
points in each other; we will open up
opportunities for the development of
the community, and will be able to hit
upon the means of pushing our town
along.
The man who talks little but says
much when he does talk is often silent
when little talk from him would ac-
cOmplish wonders. On the other hand,
the big noise is known as noise and
commands about as much attention
and remembrance as a guest of wind.
Talk up, but speak gently and to the
point. You will be both heard and
needed

RAISES PRICE OF BEETs

At meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Com
pany held Saturday, the general man
ager was authorized to make another
advance of so cents per ton to all beet
growers, raising the figure to So ton.
The increase will apply on all contracts
made for planting beets in the spring Of
1917. 1t forms the third advance to
beet growers by this company in the
last II months, the first one being 10
cents per ton given on last years pro
duct; the second one of so cents per ton
on the present years crop now being
harvested.
General Manager Cutler stated to-
day that the advance made would
amount to about $1,000,000 per an
nun to farmers, more than they for
merly obtained. He said the new con-
tracts would be made on basis of
SO per ton for beets polarizing 10 per
cent sugar; on beets running between
IA and Is per cent the price would be
1918 and on beets running between IL
and IA per cent, $3.50 would be paid
He expected the advance would result
in a greatly increased acreage of beets
for next springs planting.

PEOPLE YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

There are many people in this town
you ought to know,. for your own sake
Some of them you may not know, but
you should.
You should know the banker. He
is the one who supplies you with mon
ey when you need it, and cares for your
money when you have it. No town can
conduct modern business without him.
You should know each merchant
They have the goods you want, and if
you know each one personally you also
know something of the wares they sell.
This enables you to buy judiciously and
saves you many lost penny.
You should know the mechanic. Ev-
cry time an improvement is made YOU
must call him in. If you know them all
you likewise know the one who is most
likely to give you the best service.
You should know the school teacher
He is responsible to great degree
for the moulding of the character of
your children, for the lessons they
learn while under his care are not for-
gotten even to the brink of the grave.
Know him, and help him.
You should know the farmer. He
holds the world in the hollow of his
hand. To him we look for the pro
duction Of the sustenance Of life, and
without him we could not live.
| You should know the minister. He
is interested in you, though you may
give little thought to him. He does not
supply you with the bread you eat, OF
the clothes you wear, but he does beck
on you along the road to better lif,
beyond. Know him, and hear him
and heed him.
And, brother, you should know the
sheriff. When the devil gets under
your hide the sheriff is good man tc
know. If you are inclined to kick up q
little dust your knowledge of him may
cause you to pause before you kick
Yes, brother, know the sheriff, fol
while you area good citizen he is YOU
friend, and when you cease to be goo'
he puts You where you can be nothina
but good.
