' In the course of his address, President Taylor urged those present to stand by the organization -and not be guiged in their opinions of the Farm, Bureau by individuals.

Earthquakes Said To ' Be Good Things Occasional minor earthquakes art good things for the people . of Utah and the intermountaln region, according accord-ing to H. G.

J The earth's interior Is hot, but is gradually cooling off, and In ; the course ..of this process, some a real must shift to lower levels, Just as departs de-parts of the surface of an apple when the fruit dries and shrivels up. Most earthquakes are caused by the dropping of an area of the land along a crack 4a the surface of the earth, which Is called a fault. If this sliding along the fault plane Is gradual, it Is not so dtsasterous for the inhabitants of the region about, as in case the movement occurs less often. - But tt Is morr severe when It does come. rTbirty-flvr years ago O. K. Gilbert, anthortty-on-the-geologkal-ondltlonH . of the Great Basin, predicted that Salt Lake City would suffer a great earth quake "within a... few years." But since that time It has been found that a gradual movement of tne wasatcn fault between. Nephl and. ColHston. Utah, Is occuring and serves to pro tect against any great destructive, quakes in the vicinity, according to present opinion at Utah's State Uni versity. .
