Show BEAR RIVE! H. G.Scott Buys Wallace FUNERAL RITES Drug Co.; To Move Soon GRAIN GROWERS OF THE VALLEY ORGANIZE UNIT Cf Aim to Handle 200,000 Bu. of Wheat Thru Unit of National At a meeting of the grain growers of the Bear River Valley held in this city last Saturday articles of incorporation were adopted and were filed with the Secretary of State and at the Box Elder county clerk's office during the week making a Bear River Valley local of the Intermountain Grain Grow ers Inc. The committee that formed the articles of incorporation and the consisted of the following: David Holmgren Tremonton; "William Eli Hawkins, Bothwell; George C. Rudd, Plymouth; Horace L. Richards, Fielding; John P. Holmgren, Bear River City; and Eugene Hansen, Deweyville. A member from Garland and Riverside will be chosen at a later date. The local will be composed of growers from the entire Bear River Valley and organization contemplates handling more than 200,000 bushels of jjrain annually which will be marketed through the Farmers National Grain Corporation. Many of the grain growers of the valley have already signed the cooperative agreement and it is the inten tion of the officers of the organization to launch a vigorous campaign to inlist every grain grower of the valley into the organization to the end that by the end of the 1932 harvest they will see the majority of the grain in the valley in a farmer owned and farm er controlled warehouse of the Farmers' National. When this objective is reached the farmers themselves will then have full control of their own commodity and the facilities of storage and distribution and thereby they can dictate the policy as to marketing and distribution of their grain. Jesse W. Wade, manager of the Intermountain Grain Growers Inc. was present at the meeting. by-la- t5 IT TFFV NUMBER TWENTY FIVE TREMONTON, UTAH, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1932 VOLUME SEVEN -- !A1 "Poultry Day" Will be Held at Brigham City Annual "Poultry Day" will be held at Brigham City some time between March 11 and March 20.

In celebrating the two hundredth birthday of the Father of our Country it is well to pause in meditation on the character of our beloved hero. As an inspiration to the childhool of America his deeds mean far more than the incident of little boy who chopped down the cherry tree, and who afterwards said, "Father, I did it. I cannot tell a lie." The childhood of George Washington should be of interest to all children and to all parents, because he was such a perfectly normal boy. Born on a Virginia plantation, his boyhood days were spent like those of the sons of other o moderately plantation owners. Yet before leaving bis boyhood entirely behind him he began to develop those characteristics that were to make him famous in later years. When only thirteen years old he wrote 110 maxims of good behavior for his own use. "Be not forward, but friendly and courteous," was one of his rules of conduct that perhaps helped him to develop in the social grace as he grew into manhood. "Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another", is another maxim which if taken for one's own, will develop human sympathy and good sportsmanship. These doubtless served Washington as a character guide and helped him to develop entir sympathy and warmth of feeling for his soldiers when they were in such distressing circumstance well-to-d- es. ;';. - " Washington's fame as a general and statesman has been emphasized so so much that it sometimes overshadows many of his other noble qualities of character that are not only of tremendous human worth but are an inspiration as well. AH are familiar with the picture of Washington at Valley Forge and Washington the First President of the United States, but how many know about Washington, the farmer. The management of his Mount Vernon domain of 8,000 acres presented large problems of administration, but no man in the colonies was better fitted than he to meet them successfully. He was by natural instinct a farmer ,and he found his greatest happiness in his marriage and the care and development of his home. Mount Vernon was the first real experiment station on the North American continent. Washington made of his estate an agricultural laboratory, wherein he put to practical application the new theories of soil cultivation and stock breeding that were then being expounded successfully in , Eny-lan- d. His return after the war marked the beginning of an era of energetic effort to improve and beautify the place he loved so well. Plants, seeds and cuttings were imported from Europe, while many more were received from friends, both at home and abroad. Thus, we see that George Washington, first President of the United States, was also our first farmer, and was of a scientific mind. He loved farming and often said that farming was the favorite of all his pursuits, and if he could have had his way and still have done his duty by his country, he would have spent his entire life on the acres at Mount Vernon. Washington's attitude and views toward education inspire admiration in' all who are interested in educational progress. He not only spent large sums of money to educate the children and grand children of Martha Washington and his twenty two nieces and nephews, but he was a pioneer in the interests of universal education, primary, secondary, and collegiate. In his will are found fully six pages devoted to setting forth his ideas regarding education, and he left a bequest to Washington and Lee Universities. Thus he contributed in a material way to the progress of educa tion. He founded the first free school in Virginia for the education of orphaned and poor children. In commemorating the birth of our First President we cannot help but receive inspiration from his spiritpal life. Every crisis in his life found him turning to. devine providence for help and guidance, and in thankfulness for blessings received. On numerous occasions he expressed his thankfulness for success in military exploits and for protection from disaster. He was exceptionally as to sectarian views .attending, with equal reverance, many different churches. To appreciate fully the memory of (continued on page two ) . broad-mind- ed |
