nation Of many people Of Ireland dur

"No one is improved by unlimited
power There were some things he
could never appreciate; and his life
in India had considerably thickencd
him. He never understood the Irish
temperament; their wish to enlist to-

same regiments an above all, their
ardent and legitimate wish to take

two years ago by Mr.. VIM. Fox's

suspicion that it was set afrc.

advertising because he realizes it is
q vital part of his business-it re-
solves itself into a question of who
has the best service to offer thru
snappy, direct advertising under
which there is no 'woodpile.'
Now, advertising logic is, that an
advertisement run for only a single
day or a single week in any news
paper does not have the effect on the
mind of the public as does a consist
ent run, year in and year out, with
out thought Of creating an unnatural

Fail To Agree
On Utah Contract
Continued from page one

tribute it among the farmers to al
low them to decide in time for this
seasons planting.
Mr.. Taylor said his company was
willing to proceed at once to gather
the data that would enable them to
prepare profit sharing contract, fair
to both grower and manufacturer for
the 1921 campaign. He cited the fact
that the Amalgamated Sugar COM
pany had not been able to pay .divi-
dends for over two years past
N. G. Stringham, for the Peoples
Sugar company, said their company
had operated at loss for two years
and only the high price of sugar this
year had enabled them to earn a
small dividend. 1t was therefore
impossible for them to accept the
proposed contract. He said they had
only extracted 206 pounds of sugar
to the ton of beets.
Supt, James Ellison of the Layton
Sugar company said it would be i'm
possible for them to live under the
proposed contract. They had only
realized 1874 pounds of sugar to the
ton.
Mr.. Harris of the Gunnison Valley
Sugar company said they could not
accept the contract and but for the
high price of sugar last year they
could not have operated at all.
Merrill Nibley of the Utah Idaho
Sugar company endorsed the view of
Fred F. Taylor stating that his COM
pany agreed to the correctness of the
principle of profit sharing and would
secure information arranging basis
which would be economically sound
on which contract might be worked
out for the future. He said the Utah
Idaho Sugar company's extraction in
the state Of Utah was about 210
pounds to the ton, SO it would be i'm
possible to accept the proposition of
the farm bureau.
The meeting was called to order by
President D. D Mckay of the farm
bureau and at the conclusion each
committee went int separate session,
but no other action was taken. The
growers were represented by D. D.
Mckay and James Bues, Weber

progressing or we are going back to
anarchy"
! Attorney G. F. Hansbrough for the
! defense in his argument made a
strong plea for acquital on the
grounds of insanity. He reviewed
the testimony OF the insanity experts
and asked, do you believe that these
men who said Johnson was insane are
corrupt enough to bow to this MANI"
In closing he said, ''If your verdict is
that he is insane he will not be
turned loose, but will be kept in the
asylum. He should have been there
before. | have an abiding conviction
that this mans mind is affected We
all have part, my part is done |
expect nothing but your verdict and
shall be satisfied"
Prosecuting Attorney Adair closed
the arguments with review of the
evidence of the state. He pleaded
| for conviction and in closing said to
the jury, Yours is one of the most
solemn duties which ever confronted
any man. Lay aside any tears seen
or prejudices and take the evidence
and courts instructions and decide
solely on that. You are not con-
cerned with the result of your YER
dict The jury in criminal case is
selected to determine the facts and
let the consequences take care of
themselves. The men who killed
Garfield. Mckinley and Lincoln were
called paranoics, but they went to
the gallows. The rights of Reese
Harvard are just as great as those
of the men just mentioned"
Following argument Judge F. J.
Cowen read his instructions and at
$50 p. m. the first ballots were taken
by the jury. At $50 the foreman
of the jury announced that a verdict
has been reached.
When interviewed Saturday Mr..
Hansbrough in reference to the case
said, 81 am satisfied in the fact that
| have saved my mans life, but be-
lieve Johnson was entitled to a YER
dict of not guilty by reason of in
sanity and will probably move for a |
new trial on the grounds of new evil
dence which has just come to light. |
I have no fault to find with the jury |
altho believe they have made mis-
take, as I feel positive that the man |
is insane. Such a defense as insan-
ity, however, is very hard to make |
because Of the fact that they are
never made until after the man has
committed some criminal act, but I |
feel that if the jury had heard this
evidence and as much of 1t as there
is in this case, on an inquiry as to
the mans sanity before crime had
been committed, they would have
found him insane on that evidence,
in my opinion, in less than ten
minutes"
States attorney, Adair made q
short statement and said, 81 am
gratified that the jury performed
their duty without hesitation and
brought in verdict Of guilty as It
was the only thing they could do
under the evidence"

1.-THE real estate dealer is not the
only merchant that Is Over-sOld,' re-
Gently declared E. C. Huffman, presi-
dent of the e. C. Huffman Realty &
Investment Co. of Denver, Colo, Il
mean by oversold, that he is not the
only business man who finds himself
at this time with the demand far ex-
ceiling the supply.
THAT same conditions prevails in
almost any line of merchandising and
is due to the reaction of the war. In
the clothing business it is with diff
ficulty that a merchant gets the
goods to sell. That is because dur
ing the war every energy was turned
into the essential channels and
when it was over and the merchant
wished to resume business he could
not obtain the merchandise. -
"The popularity of a particular
suit or make Of garment had been
kept at par if not stimulated during
the war by consistent advertising.
Therefore, when the market was al
most void of that article the price
rose. But that condition brought on
another which necessitated increased
salaries, which in turn made it i'm
perative to boost the price Of other
commodities in comparison.
Advertising Keeps Goods Popular
In the case of the real estate
dealer it will be remembered that
during the war all unnecessary build
ing was stopped. Old houses deter
iorated and in many instances were
,scrapped to make way for more mod
ern dwellings, which, erected at ad-
vanced costs, necessarily rent or sell
for more. And in the instance of the
real estate man the same condition
as confronts other lines was brought
about by advertising; trying to force
a market during the war where no
market existed.
with the termination of the war
the real estate dealer began to reap
the benefits Of that persistent adver-
Using and now he having his day.
There are some who think advertis-
ing is for the purpose of forcing
market and to be used only when
business is dull.

on the equal suffrage amendment,
