Show TEE PAGE FOUR 8 UN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1921 PRICE, UTAH EVERT FRIDAY. STATE HIGHWAY PLANS Comities Willi Be Expected to Suggest THE CHRISTMAS GIFT When a Carbon county man wakes up on Christmas morning to find that as in years gone by Santa Claus has left him a necktie, some slippers or a pair of suspenders he has no right to complain. lie should be glad. For the chances are that instead of presenting his wife with a manicure set as he did before marriage he has given her something she has to use around the house. A good many men and women do growl about their Christmas gifts and forget all about the spirit. Such folks should not observe Christmas. They are not in harmony with the thought of the happy time nor with its noble sentiments and emotions. They figure in terms of dollars and cents. Too often they look for the cost mark before they examine the present. But to return to the necktie ahd suspenders. We were always glad to get them. It is not the thing received, but the spirit of love which prompted the gift that counts. The man who is not willing to throw a back somersault on Christmas morning when he discovers that necktie or suspenders is no man at ill. He should want to stand up and sing hallelujah, because he can always use neckties and suspenders and he knows or should know that there was real love for him in the heart of the one who made him a present of them. Whatever love offers is good no matter what it is and it's a poor sort of a human being that does not appreciate that fact. Pleas For Bslding. The Utah state highway commission has nut yet made any recommendations for the approval of the federal system of public roads and none will be made until after the various counties in the state have been heard," said Howard U. Means, state road engineer, on hia return trip to Salt Lake City last Tuesday from attending the meeting of the eonvention of highway officials in Omaha, Neb. The Utah system," he continued, will be definitely fixed only after the state com mission has made its recommends4 ms and the federal bureau has approved it. It is bow believed that the mileage which the federal board will al! w will be about seventeen hundred. Colorado will in all probability come to Ihe Utah stateline with three secondary road connections, which that state will tie anxious to have continued on into Utah. 1 believe that Colorado will take its primary system aa far west as on the northern route, through the Uintah Basin in Colorado, aa its mileage will permit, and will place t!i ; e nain-dof the road to Bar K ranch on the secondary system. This is the Victory highway route, which cornea into Lake City through Uintah, Duchesne and Wasatch counties. Grand 1 and the snrrounding territory will pull for a federal road, also reaching' to the Utah line. I found that Colorado also is anxious for a connection with Utah at the atateline to the east of Moiiticello. This latter is really part of a Southern California project. As planned this road would be a loop, using the old Santa Fe trail out of California, crossing Arisons on the Pointed Desert, and entering Southwestern Colorado, serving the Mesa Verde National Park. Thence the route extends to Monticello and over the ireaent Federal Aid Projects Nos. 7, 6 and 6, reaching from Monticello to Thomsons or Moab Junction, Thence the road would come into Salt Lake City over the old Midland trail, and then, according to these would follow the Zion National highway and the Arrowhead trail back to California. Colorado aptears to be in sup)iort of this project, and I was informed that Arizona would also favor it, though of that I cannot aiieak er S-.- EVIL INFLUENCES that the gifts that they are not you distribute will stand up merely ornamental , but have a real value for the purpose they were in tended . We pay especial attention to the durability the usableness f of. our gift goods . It youre still in doubt as to what to give him or her look for a suggestion here . It is a satisfaction to you to know lt ne-ti-on It is certainly amazing how much space in the big city papers a sporty and handsome woman who treads under foot the conventions of respectable society can command once her sinning results in a divorce suit or a murder. Not only all the details of court proceedings, but her life from girlhood are displayed in type and along with anything she may say or write m the most conspicuous position. At the same time the wise words of a college professor, the story of noble charity or the details of a great medical discovery go to the remote columns in solid type. Educational and religious news the thoughts of honorable religious leaders yield to the sensational and the debasing in the news columns. It is depressing to glance over many pages of the metropolitan papers reaching Price and see whole columns given to writeups of men who make prize fighting or crime of some sort or another their business. We cannot believe, either, that it is good for the public at a time when useful men must be at work, when saving is essential to the country, and when men, women and children need constant inspiration in the vital things of American life patriotism, morality, honesty and reverence for all that is good and clean. pic-tur- es AS TO INCOME FIGURES Most people in Carbon county are average Americans. That being the case, the income for each during 1913, according to figures just given out by Uncle Sam, was three hundred and fifty-fodollars for each member of the family. This rose to an average of dollars in 1919. But it was only six hundred and twenty-nin- e dollars in actual buying power on the three hundred and fifty-eigbasis of 1913 prices. Many thought they were getting rich during the war. Big salaries were common, but in a majority of cases they were spent as fast as the money was received. Our riches during the war period were to a great extent very largely on paper. Those so fortunate as to Msalt away" a part of their income then are profiting now that prices are seeking the normal level. And, thinking it over and reflecting on past experience, wouldnt it be a pretty wise resolve to decide now to Bave more in 1922 than we did in the year fast drawing to a close? ur ht DONT ENCOURAGE THEM & STATE AND FEDERAL Propaganda to increase rates of interest in postal savings banks is regarded as the entering wedge for extending state and federal banks. This is undoubtedly the program of state socialism to remove limits from amount that may be deposited and allow loans to be made. Postmaster General Hays has caught the socialistic microbe and asks for laws to put the postoffice into the banking and money loaning trade. Every postmaster would automatically be made a banker over night and the department would get a commission on every loan made. Hays already refers to the opposition of certain savings banks to any changes and pretends to array the interests of the people against the money interests back of the banking business. When was political banking in any country anything but a lure and pitfall for the masses of the people? Nevada will make connection with the Utah line at Wenduver as the program ia now. Provision is being made for connection of Ely with thia system and for connection at Wendover with the present state mad across Carbon People Acquire Ground EuikL'ng of Local Plant Coming to Price in time to ojicn fur business just before Thnnksgiving bout a mouth ago the Carlton Floral company haa already taken ita place aa a regular iuatitutiou, and ia rapidly increasing ita circle of aequaint-ancc- a and jmtning throughout Eastern Utah.

Just yesterday a deal was completed whereby the new linn comes into ownership of 1 piece of ground to the north of the city on which it will build a plant. The initial structure of hothouses will be covered by over a quarter of a million square feet of glass. This concern ia an enthusia8tie supporter of the home products fint" idea, and will grow up to be one of Carbon countys big industries. 4 ACTUAL WORK STARTS Proposition For the Country South. he-o- Some people and some newspapers give more time and attention to religious and political fakirs than they do to home industries and payrolls. They seem to think the bread and butter problems and the dinnerpail brigade are of less consequence than speculations on what particular brand of erring citizens shall shovel coal into the brimstone furnaces in the next world.

FLORISTSBUY LAND Big Irrigating INDUSTRIAL PRINCIPLES BOOKS at first hand." Transients with stuff to sell that can be purchased here in Price should not have the encouragement of citizens. The man who carries his stock in a flivver and makes the street corners his place of business should be urged before he has had an opportunity to display his wares to move on to the next town. The peddler w ith goods slung across his arm or piled in a pack on his back should be given to understand that the very streets he walks on are partly paid for by home town merchants, and that they, too, help in keeping those streets in repair. The little they pay in license these transients doesnt benefit the town enough to warrant their presence. If the license wont keep them out put it up to where it besieaks for thia establishment a dewill. Price merchants, men who have their money invested locally served patronage ia that it will build and who pay taxes here, are entitled to every consideration.
