FARMERS URGED TO
GROW SUGAR BEETS
Elmer c.. Peterson OF
Logan Writes Re-
garding Crops
BY ELMER G. PETERSON


LOGAN, Utah.-There can be no
doubt of the wisdom of the farmers
of Utah and Idaho deciding to raise
generous acreage of sugar beets
this year. Aside from the monetary
return, which may or may not be to
the full satisfaction of either the
companies or the growers, the in
dustry, as such, deserves the support
of every thoughtful citizen. Utah
and Idaho have too much at stake
in his industry to permit 1t to
languish because of lack of acreage.
1t would be a fine thing for the sake
Of the future, forgetting any differ
ence which may have existed, to
crowd these factories to reasonable
capacity.
There is no reason at this time for
discussing anything except the influ-
ence of a thriving sugar industry
upon our whole economic life. Many
farmers have told me that aside
from the question of profit, they
propose this year to put In as large
an acreage of beets as possible in
order to help restore the industry.
They say that even If they lose
money, they will do this. Now
whatever we may think of this atti-
tude in other ways we cannot but
pronounce 1t great citizenship
worthy Of a great state.
Confidence Expressed
Utah, which is distinguished by
it's spirit of cooperation, has thru itf
farm bureau committee, and its
company committee, agreed upon 9
price for beets. This act itself is an
act of confidence. 1T is good tC
know that this agreement is sup
ported by the sentiment of the
state. There are other aspects oi
the sugar beet situation which nee.
essitate attention. Our distance
from markes limits the crops we
can grow profitably here. Dairy
products we can produce in much
larger quantity than at present
Hogs we can produce as a supple
ment to our diversified farming
Large hog raising enterprises as q
specified business are matters Of in
dividual attention and responsibility
but a few more hogs at least on

Price of Wool is
Up, Sheepmen Have
Taken New Courage

People who paid $50 or $40 a ton
for hay a couple Of years ago to feed
to sheep that yielded 10 cent wool
found their fortunes running down
hill pretty fast. but now they are
coming back. Feeding hay at the
low prices that have prevailed the
past winter and then getting offers
Of as hioh as 80 cents for wool,
makes the sheepmen smile again
and take fresh courage. j.
The wool men of Gooding, headed
by Frank and Fred Go0ding, have
Just made q sale of their wool pool
at 80 cents a pound. E. M. Kennedy
of Blackfoot has been engineering a
wool pool of about 100000 pounds
for local stockmen and has made q
sale at 80 cents. This is about
double the price received year ago.

MAYOR ADDRESSES
THE CITY COUNCIL
All City Bills Must
Come Thru the City
Clerk or Written

At the council meeting on Tues
day evening q big grist Of bills was
allowed and q good many held up
for further information.
Mayor Peck addressed the council
at some length regarding the work
Of the past year, this being the be-
ginning of the second year Of the
administration. He reminded them
of some of the policies adopted a
year ago and of some things which
he outlined to be done which seemed
to be approved and which had not
been adhered to. One was the plan
of cleaning up the town and OF
managing the street work. They
employed q street commissioner and
delegated him to managing the clean
up of the town. After month OF
so he was switched to police work
and night watching and the work OF
street commissioner was turned over
to the street committee and to the
laborers, and the work had gone on
with very incomplete supervision,
and with very little opportunity for
anyone to get out and see what
needed to be done from day to day
and to get 1t acted on. This, he said
had not brought the best results,
and he recommended getting back
to the original plan. .
The mayor also reminded the
council that they had started out
on the determination to have NO
bills contracted by the members act
ing singly or on the street, but to
have it all come thru the city clerk
or thru written orders by proper

Elements with subscribers who are In
arrears, he finds good many people

built or made other changes that

published news items concerning
such matters, but the editor writes
them UP now as reminders to those
who have overlooked or forgotten.)
John Oborn still operates the
Peoples store at the north end OF
Snake river bridge west Of Black
foot. John joshes the editor about
being a Republican and in sympathy
with the capitalistic system, while
he, Oborn, is "once a Socialist, al
ways a Socialist" He says he be-
lieves in equality, and in dividing up
with others, and so saying, John
hands the editor half of his handful
of peanuts, and they eat and talk
about Russia. John thinks that
Russia will come out all right in its
Socialism, and the editor thinks they
will too-providing that we keep on
shipping them wheat and clothes
and capitalistic money in sufficient
quantities and keep at it long
enough.
John says that that kind Of re-
tort is to be expected from dyed
in-the-wool Republican and member
of the capitalistic kept press, and
that it is probably to Trego's inter
est to take that attitude. Trego re-
plies that when a fellow divides his
peanuts voluntarily and generously
like John does, it is knock-down
argument and a very practical

Much DESTRUCTION
IN THE WOLVERINE
Effort Being Made to
Have Canyon Set
Aside for Scout
Park

T. A. Hayes and wife spent few
days at Wolverine last week, and
report that during the past winter
the destruction of timber in the can
yon has been going on and the brush
has been piled in the road and in the
stream as usual, and the net result
is that it forms dams and turns the
water out of its channel, 1t runs
down the road and ruins 1t, and
there will be an expense bill to get
it in condition for travel again.
Up to a couple of years ago the
natural beauty of the canyon was
quite complete and harmonious, but
the slashing and removal of timber
and the breaking down of smaller
growth in getting the timber out,
give It barren look now. The
charm of the place is greatly re-
duced and still reducing.
An effort is now under way to
have q section of the canyon set
aside as a park for the Boy Scouts.
and since that has been announced,
the process of stripping it Of its
beauty seems to have been speeded
up. AS a park it would have had
greater value to the settlers living in
that section as it would have
brought tourists and campers who
always spend more or less money
buying farm products. 1t is said the
destruction of the timber and
natural beauty has been carried on
by settlers living within hauling dis
tance Of the canyon, and in doing
this they have destroyed something
that had perhaps great value to
them, but they do not appreciate it.

Pekng, China Is certainly that America
houd possible, be represented by aboriginal blood
Deep in the hills of my secret SOUL
/ will build house Of dreams -
Hidden from doubt and dissenance
Far from the bare, st0rm-swept expanse
Where the sunlight of love alone CLEANS
In the far, far depths of my secret SOUL
And will build to the house of my dreams
road that will point out the way f
Each beautiful song that have heard,
Each flower I've touched, each gentle word
Shall make stone in the winding way
That will lead to the house of my dreams
And will place in the house of my dreams
Every wonderful thing have seen-
Paintings know never can own,
Friends l have met and joys have known,
wee baby's smile and fary's sheen
Will all be stored In the house Of my dreams
Then when the dusk Of twilight falls
And the ache in my heart would steal in, ..t-
will haste back to the house of my Dreams
Back over the road where the joy-light CLEANS;
And my heart will dance to the merry din
OF the Joy shall find in dream-house walls.

"VAMPS" WHO
 MADE HISTORY By JAMES C. YOUNG.
THE GIRL WHO MADE A KING
 HER JESTER.
Newspaper Syndicate

IF IF had not been for little negro l boy with crooked back one of the most beautiful women of the French revolutionary period might have escaped with her life. But it was the delight of Mme. du Barry to tease this boy Louis Zamora until he flew into futile rages Her death was his revenge.
 She began life as servants daugh- ter, but soon became a beauty. The son of the Due de Brissac saw her when she was under twenty, employed in milliner's shop. From his hands she passed on to the Vicomte Du Barry, down-at the-heel nObleman who kept famous gambling establish ment. She was the attraction of the gaming tables for several years. Then the vicomte, who saw her lOveIlness increase every day, conceived the idea of introducing her to Louis XIV.
 Lebel, valet to the king, was the judge of beauty for his imperial mas ter. He already had introduced Pom- padOur then dead. And 1t was to Lebel that the vicomte applied. The valet gave dinner to which the gamblers apprentice was invited. But she failed to find the king there. In her disappointment she drank deeply, and gave way to string of the bad talk for which she afterward was famous. The king, hidden behind a curtain, listened and was delighted. He came forth and Du Barry's fortune was In the making.
 Every woman Louis had known went to the last lengths in an effort to entertain him. But Du Barry in- sisted that he entertain her.
 Then Louis died. Du Barry retreat ed to a place near Paris and not long afterward again fell in with De Bris- sac. Next came the revolution, fear ful, bloody days. Du Barry hid, but Zamora kept the revolutionary au- thorities informed of all that she did. One day De BrisSac was late in return ing from trip to Paris in search of news. Du Barry, fearful, told Zamora to go down the road and see If her lover was on the way. "There Is no reed" he said. "I can show you his bead" and he brought forth that gruesome object.
 Du Barry was tried and executed on the same day, December ', l793. At the last she broke down and pleaded for her life. Zamora stood by the block and screeched his delight.
