WHY Do FARMERS
ORGANIZE?

Salt Lake City, May 19-Promptei
by the rapid growth OF the farm bur-
eau movement throughout the nation.
n newspaper in one OF the prominent
eastern cities recently instituted a
QUESTIONABLE on this subject: why
do farmers ORGANIZED" Some Of the
answers, according to reports receiv-
cd by the Utah State Farm Bureau,
are;
A farmer cannot carry enough hides
across the street from his wagon to
the store to pay for pair OF good
shoes.
A South Dakota farmer may get 20
or 80 cents for his corn. It costs that
much to ship the corn to the process
sing mills in New York. According
to the most conservative figures the
corn cost the farmer from Is cents
to a dollar a bushel to produce.
A farmer at Iowa City. Iowa. ship
ped n carload OF hay to st. Louis. He
got ss2.61 for It. The freight and
other charges totalled s9213.
Commenting on some OF the ans
wers quoted above and also on the
grain marketing movement Instituted
by the farm bureau. the Philadelphia
Public Ledger had this to say in an
editorial way:
| The report OF the grain marketing
committee Of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation has been made and
adopted. There is nothing radical
Rolshevistic or dangerous about II.
II strikes. or will strike. n terrible
blow to grain exchanges and to mid
dlemen; but the farmer insists that
he should have more than thirty-four
cents OF the consumers dollar and
that the exchanges and the middle
men must take less, II is the sanest
end most ambitious effort that the
farmer has made for himself"
ofncers OF the Utah State Farm Blu
reau contend there are equally strik-
Ing examples In this state of why
farmers should organize.

WORK ON COUNTY
BUILDING TO
BEGIN At ONCE

At a meeting Of the Joint city and
county building committee held at
Provo Monday afternoon It was decid-
ed that the superstructure including
the roof OF the building will be fin
ished this year and Architect Joseph
Nelson was instructed to ask for bids
for furnishing and laying granite,
terra Gotta, and olite stone from
Sanpete county.
This action was taken following q
report from a special committee COM
prised of Thomas F. Pierpont. chair
man; Henry Erlanderson, Stephen l.,
Chapman and s. II. Belmont, The
committee reported carefully consid-
ering the plans and specifications of

ADVERTISING BIG"

Business success and adver-
Using go hand in hand. The
best way to judge the business
enterprise of any community is
by the size of and frequency
of its newspaper advertise
ments. The display the COM
munity makes of its moral and
economic wares speaks vol
umes to the stranger and main
tains the growing respect of
the acquainted.
"Large size displays i'm

with an opulency of ready val

Itch of Colorado Agricultural
college. To the newcomer lar
sc size "ads" say: "behold us,
we have things to sell - and
things to buy" The stranger
is convinced of a thriving en-
terprise because he knows big
displays are sustained only by
success. He knows that goods
are bought where goods are
sold; he knows that goods are
sold where goods are adver-
tised in a big way"
All readers are strangers
until they buy. The stranger
within your gates feels ac-
0uainted after he has bought

buildings OF like character and ma
torial. They found that in the SUPER
structure no material reductions can
lie made from the design of the ar
chitect without detracting from the
appearance or stability OF the build
ing. While there will be no material
e)iminations In the superstructure
there can be deductions made in the
Interior finish that will approximate
ly amount to 100000, based on bids
received last December. The com.
mittee declared they could also ex-
pect a reduction OF from 25 to so per
cent from last years prices This
estimate was based on bids recently
received on the work that was fig.
ured last year. and on which there
has been found to be considerable
more reduction than this amount.
The committee suggested that plans
and specifications calling for terra
Gotta. for the exterior facing Of the
walls and cornice: also that alternate
bids be taken substituting sanpete CO.
lite stone for stone equal or OF super
Tor durability and harmonious colors
be asked for.
On motion of Mayor Dixon the re-
port OF the special committee was
adopted and after some discussion all
voted In favor of beginning the sup
erstructure work Immediately.

OPPORTUNITY

Reason, as well as common
sense, teaches us that we are re-
warded here, and that we will
be rewarded hereafter, ac-
cording to the good or bad use
we make of the opportunities
within our reach. 1t is OBJ
vious, therefore, that we should
be very careful as to how we
use or abuse them.
On every hand we are daily
and hourly confronted with
good and evil and it requires
great deal Of moral stamina
to successfully resist and over
come the many allurements Of
sin that is mans common lot
to encounter and his manifest
duty to shun.
Opportunity, properly and
seriously considered is the
main avenue or gateway that
leads to temporal or spiritual
rplift and to every day bene-
fit and advantage. Oh, how
many, sad, disappointed, UNI
happy, lives have resulted
from ignoring some favorable
opportunities and privileges
