creased in value from s50,000.OOO
to s1OO,000,0OO and the gain was
reflected in wage increases. The SUI
gar industry has prospered as never
before. Factory after factory has
been built in Utah, Idaho and Wy
oming, but there are not nearly
enough factories to meet the de-
mand. This prosperity is reflected
in the augmented prices OF sugar
stocks and in the higher prices OF
beets. A sliding scale based on the
sugar content of the beets enabled
farmers to get as high a Sc ton
for their beets, and similar scale
will permit them to get as high as

Among the woolgrowers there is
much joy, for conditions never have

much, and indications are that they
will receive even righer prices.

The Diary
Habit.

One of the most prominent feat
ures of the early part Of January
used to be the keeping Of diaries.
Little black and red covered books
neatly ruled and dated were very
favorite Christmas present. Some of
them were large sized volumes with
room for very extended daily his
tory of ones doings.
Most young people at some time
or other tried keeping those books.
The entries for the first week or Two
would be very detailed and complete.
Not merely would personal events
be chronicled, but the weather and
local events weer described. Many
emotional young people detailed
their states of feeling and mental
reactions. By January Is it became
an old story. Entries became meag-
er and scattered, and few diary
keepers could keep it up much be-
yond February.
Occasionally one finds among hou-
sehold treasures however a well
kept diary of some of our ancestors.
In the old days when life was quiet
and there were few distractions peo-
pie of a literary and contemplative
turn found journal keeping very
interesting diversion.
They enjoyed reviewing the events
of the day, and in after years II
was a great pleasure to renew The
experiences of former times. Also
it was an exceedingly convenient
thing to have these personal records
and many business disputes Were
settled by them. Some of these old
diaries give wonderfully accurate
pictures of the life of former gen
erations.
The modern age is too swift to
spend time in this way. 1t is all we
can do to perform the duties and
engage in the pleasures of the day
I without stopping to record them
T Few people spend hours in the con.
3 temptation of the past, and there Is
, little reviewing of former experien,
| ces. Rather the mind is concentrate
ed on the future. So the old time
I diary seems to have gone ont, and
our past history lapses into oblivion
Y with only the great landmarks OF
experience standing out.

yelled prophets. The seer being a
person Of keen perceptions, can make
a shrewd guess from the facial ap-
pearance and mannerisms of the
client, what kind of work he is 1T
ted for. In many cases the opinion
proves to be correct, but it was the
astrologist's reading of human char
acter rather than the occult influen-
ce of Jupiter or Saturn.
OF course there is twilight zone
of intuition where human powers
have never been quite defined. The
possibility of thought transferrence
is maintained by many scientists,
any many singular condolences sug-
gest that it may be a reality. But
when people have a difficult problem
in life, they ca, find wiser advisers
than the dumb voices of the silent
stars.
Instead of paying a fee to some
mystic prophet, let them consult
their own intelligence and that OF
their friends, and there will be few
er foolish mistakes in life.

Tie Cost of The Higher
Education.

The way higher institutions OF
learning are pleading for money is
almost staggering. From rich and
hoary institutions in the older states
down to the struggling little schools
of the mountains and prairie, they're
all doing it. Here comes the Univer-
Rity of Illinois as one instance with
the need of $5,O00,000 more for
buildings in the next ten years. Many
others have equally ambitious pro-
grams.
The cost of higher education Is
tremendously increasing. Part OF
this of course is legitimate. Build
ing materials are high and labor still
higher. There must be the most per-
feet of heating, plumbing, and ven
tilating systems. Buildings must be
INTELLECTUALLY beautiful, and eXpen-
sive architects must be employed
The class rooms must have chemical

Utah's Prosperity.

1t is the purpose of a business
edition upon the eve of a new year
to recount business conditions for
the preceding twelve months and
forecast conditions, as nearly as pos
sible from the data at hand, for
the next twelve months; it is also
the purpose of such an edition to
proclaim the finding and the forecast
to the widest possible public.
1t is naturally supreme gratif-
cation to tell the world that Utah
and its tributary regions in the
! neighboring states have just ended
this year of greatest prosperity, and
to proclaim the opinions of compel
ent judges that 1917 will eclipse
1916.
So vast have been the gains In
every industry that it is difficult tc
lspeak in anything except the super.
,Iative. Dividends of record on min
ing stock reveal an increase OF 14E
per cent over 1915, and the re'ord'
