Ordinary checks are not subject to
the application of the present war
revenue law. The law requires a two
cent stamp for each 500 in amount, or
fractional part thereof. to be affixed to
drafts or checks payable otherwise
than at sight or demand, promissory
notes, except bank notes issued for
circulation. The ordinary check is
payable at sight, hence this wording

they may rest assured that they can
draw just as many checks as their

contain all the nutritive elements
contained in wheat, they are rich in
energy-giving starch and may take
the place of at least part of the wheat

of potatoes, If properly made, can
scarcely be distinguished from that

Furthermore in the hands of skilled

ADDRESSED THE
SCIENCE CLUB

The basic value of experimental
work in all educational advance
ment was emphasized by President
E. G. Peterson Of the Utah Agricul-
tural college at the initial meeting
for this year of the Science club of
the institution, held Friday noon.
President Peterson discussed the re-
lationship of research work to ex-
tension activities. While outlining
the immense practical and fundamen-
tai value of extension work, he de-
clared that research work was the
very source Of our information. Re

tension division, and the division of

cation Is similar to the extension
workers in the field, translating into
concrete results the force of the
river.
THE future of extension work in
Utah is vast" continued President
Peterson. Developing from the
largely inspirational farmers insti-
tutes. it has grown with an ever
increasing force tending toward the
general betterment Of rural civilixa-
ton. The value of the work is am

port afforded it by the people"

cpf the experiment station of the Utah
