ELDER breaches SPIRITUAL.
PROGRESS FOR THE DEAD

Preacher says death does not end
life nor stop progress ofahe individual
Elder ]. E. Yates. of the Reorganiz-
ed Church of Latter Day Saints, re-
Gently Of Phoenix, Arizona, declared in
his Sunday night sermon that even
some of those who die in their sins
may develop afterward till they are
delivered at last from hell Rev. 20: 10
was cited as scripture in point.
It was urged that Peters statement
that Christ went and preached to the
spirits in prison" reveals Christ
preaching to the wicked in hell.
Elder Yates is to preach in the
German Church again next Sunday
night.
Subject announced is: "Who Has
The Right to Represent God as Min
listers. or Does God Recognize all who
Choose to do so?"

The experience of the past season
in the beet sugar industry has demon
strated the advantage to beet growers
of the sliding scale contract, under
which the grower is paid for his crop
according to the selling price of the
sugar produced. At the level of sugar
prices early in the year, when con-
tracts for beet acreage were written,
the companies could not safely guar
antee the rates per ton which they
had paid the previous year and which
had imposed heavy losses upon them.
The great bulk of the acreage was
written, therefore, on the profit-shar-
ing plan, by which the grower is guar
anteed a certain minimum price and
receives an additional dollar per ton
for each cent pound increase in the
price of sugar.-Glenwood Springs

"Mv SHARE IN MAKING THE
HIGHWAYS sAFE"-lolA VIII SON

During the last year there were
more lives lost on the Highways of
America than there were In the Ameri.
can Armies ON the battle fields of
France. More people were injured
than the American Army had wound.
ed in that Great War. There were
two automobile accidents every minute
| in 1922. What are we going to do to
| make the Highways safer for the trav-
cling public when we realize that there
are ten automobiles for every mile
of road in the United States?
The drivers of automobiles, street
car motormen and railway engineers,
which probably cause most of these
accidents are only partially to blame.
The average person whether adult or
child needlessly takes too great
chances. We carelessly attempt to
cross the street ahead of rapidly ap-
preaching vehicles when we are in no
particular hurry and may even stop
and watch it go by after having done
so. A mistep might cost US our life.
We see children playing on the streets
or perhaps on the country roads heed
less of an approaching car. When the
driver is upon them they scatter pos
sibly giving the driver no chance to
get by.
We can lessen the accidents and
save many lives by each and every
one Of US observing few rules
To drivers, 1 would say, obey the
speed limits and respect the traffic
IL khnk t.
control at all times. Never be in to
big hurry to be careful. Remem-
Der it is better to be safe than sorry.
Use every courtesy on the road that
you would like to be shown.
For myself and others who may be
on the Highways let us observe these
rules:
Never attempt to eros sa street
ahead Of rapidly approaching We.
hicle of any kind.
If in the center of a street, stop
so an approaching driver may have
chance to get by.
Look carefully to the left and right
when crossing a street to avoid being
in the way.
Remember that sidewalks are for
pedestrians and not for bicycles.
coasting and skating.
We can all help put over a Safety
First Campaign by showing those
younger than we where they may be
in danger, and by accepting the advice
of older people when they advise us
of danger and by showing every one.
whether they are driving car or
team, or on the Highway on foot, the
same respect that we wish them to
show us.
