In an address before the Daughters of the .'American Revolution in able to handle business better than the people themselves. "Through regulations and commissions we have given the most arbitrary authority over our actions and our property into the hands of a few men,' Mr. Coolidge said. It is a procedure fraught with considerable danger ami should only be adopted as a last resort. There is one field upon which the people have insisted that the federal government should not trespass. That is the domain of private 'business. In general the country is best served through the competition of private enterprise. "If the people are to remain politically free they must be economically free. Their only hope in that direction is for them to keep their own business in their own hands. Government supervision eventually leads to government ownership, owner-ship, in the opinion of the president, and government ownership al ways leads to ruin. It is only business of a "shaky" nature tWat seeks government protection. Therefore, all .business men who feel that they are proceeding hihui practical lines will applaud Mr. Coolidge 's helpful remarks. '........,.

The forming form-ing of this club was the result of requests re-quests from prominent party leaders from various counties who know Mr. Wattis reputation as an industrial leader, and his exceptional ability as an executive. There are .few men in the Inter-mountain Inter-mountain country whose experience has lead them into so many fields of business activities as has the experience exper-ience of Mr. Wattis, and his diversified diversi-fied interests have proven uniformly successful,' while at the same time being a big factor in the upbuilding of the State of Utah.

Tribute by McKay Sponsoring the meeting which urged him to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor were such nen- as A. P. Bigelow and Fred M. J!iye. both of whom had been frequently mentioned as possible gubernatorial gu-bernatorial candidates, and Apostle Dalvd O. McKay, who paid Mr. Wattis the following tribute: "I respond cheerfully to the sugees tlori that I say . something regarding the candidacy of Mr. Wattis. If ..you would succeed in business, you must study business; if you would succeed in politics, you must study politics. I come as a friend of W. H. Wattis, I come as a loyal I'Uhn. I do believe most sincerely that W. It. Wattis is the right man at the present time to occupy the governorship of this state. "There are four great factors in life: The ability to see clearly, the ability to Imagine vividly, the power to think independently, and the power to will nobly. We need a business man who hag these qualifications. Mr. Wat tis has these qualities, lie has the SilJllU' t( .see.,cJ.ea.rl.v...tu.w. th.e brush desert and then its reclamation. We need a man of vision nnd a mr who has handled big things. Mr. Wattis Wat-tis fulfills that need. Me has proven that he can and does thiiik independently. independ-ently. He will take advice but will hot take dictation.' He will be a gov-di gov-di nor of Utah, fair nnd Just to all. "W. If. Wattis deserves this nomination, nom-ination, and this election for the party loyalty that he has shown. If you secure fits nomination, we'll elect him, nnd Utah will have one of the best coventors any state ever had." Outstanding Executive In addition to his Construction work nnd ranch activities, Mr. Wattis has taken an active Interest in many other lines nnd has always been prominently prominent-ly in the civic and political affairs of Ever a Real Pleasure To realize that you are getting on in the world.

K nominated and elected governor of Utah, his fine executive ability and his broad experience will be at the service of the state, and his organizations are so arranged and officered that he can give his entire time to the business of the state. If the Republicans of Utah nominate nomin-ate W. H.

Concern-ed. In 1920 the sheep population was set at about 40.2S0.000 and in 1927 the figures show slightly under 42,000,0w head. ThU shows a stable condition of holding the supply steady and, of course, gravitates to the benefit of the producer in the face of a consistently con-sistently Increasing consumer demand to be supplied." It is interesting to note that ..the position of, states in point of sheep recorded has shifted somwhat. The first five states in the 1927 census shows Texas, California, Cali-fornia, Wyoming. Montana and Utah, while the 1920 figures were Wyoming, Wyom-ing, California, Texas, Montana and .Utah in the order named. The most radical change In the. figured waa in Texas as present figures indicate that state leudiiiK it's nearest competitor with 4.250.000 sheep. Reports. ,from Arizona state that prices received for wool during' tli" season just closed have been higher than at any time in the past several years. The wool is reported of better bet-ter quality than ordinary years ami the bulk of the crop was sold East, the highest reported sales ' being 44'v per pound and the general range ajoumi. tUfi...... - - - - t In looking back over hog statistics for twenty years, it Is noted that there are "iS.ouo.Oimi hogs on the fanu-In fanu-In the United States in 192S, showing a slight increase over 1926 when there were 51.000,000 and in 1H2T when there-were 54.000,000 during the tweiity yenr period. Tiler are thirteen ears when a large number of hogs were reported on the farms, the highest year being 1919 when 74.ooo.mio hogs were present.

The creating creat-ing o,f these less desirable cuts into various products has answered the need to a certain extent but still the necessity remains of cutting up the beef to realize a considerably higher prke fur the more desirable cuts in order to offset the losses on the cheaper portions of the animal.
