or by measures of doubtful legality, to state the case mildly, and when even these measures fail to bring in revenue enough? It is bankruptcy, pure and sim pie, and a receivership. We have taken all the intermediate steps, and we have. therfore, arrived. It is the best and easiest way out. The receiver with am- pier powers can help us pull ourselves to- gether and separate us from the ulcers that are sapping our community life and put us on the highway to civic right eousness and a more lasting prosperity.

Utah, the Producer.
BY Arvilla Hansen, Dee Junior High
School, Ogden, Utah Awarded the
Fifth Prize In the Essay Contest.

It has been said, and truthfully,
that the state of Utah could be en-
closed with wall separating 1t from
trade communication with the out
side world and its inhabitants would
continue to have everything which
their hearts desire. An excellent
commercial location combined with
temperate climate and unlimited
natural resources serves to make
Utah not only State independent
Of other States, but also State upon
which other States might depend.
The early development Of the in
termountain region was due largely
to the mining industry. In Utah,
mining created the early wealth and
provided funds for the development
OF other industries which are now its
rivals. It attracted the people; 1t
built the railroads. and In later years
the cities. Utah ranks second as O
silver producing otate. and has a high
rank In other mineral products.

Al registered Holsteins, 25 registered

In this organization, a trained test

the association. He weighs and sam
Piles the milk from each COW at milk
ing time and figures the amount OF
roughage and concentrates given each
COW. From this days record he CON-
