Federal Sugar Beet q Federal Aid Puts Farm On More Sound Basis How some farmers in Utah are being helped to put their business back on a profitable basis, is told in many of the case reports now in the office of C. O. Stott, state director for the Rural Rehabilitation and Resettle ment administration, Cogan.' Two examples are cited by Mr, Stott to show how the new plan works and the benefits derived by those clients who are making the best out of what they have at hand and with the aid of the federal administration. A widow of Weber county with six children applied for a loan from the federal government last March. She had a heavy mortgage on her 48 acres of land and other indebtedness which made her liabilities five times as much as her total assets. No local crediet was available. Her applica' tion for a loan of $905 was approved y the federal authorities and with tfcf money she bought six cows, 500 pulftfts, one horse, a hay rake and a mowtT. At the present time she has a good' crop of hay, a good stand of beets, wliieat and a garden. With her poultry arid garden she has fed her family and paid back $48 on her loan When she sfells her crops she plans to pay back $300 this fall and use the income from her hens to keep the family. Another case is cited in Salt Lake county. Here a farmer with six small children received a loan April 10 of this year for $868. With it he bought 12200 baby chicks, feed, material for a house and some other supplies. He now has almost completed remodeling house which appears as a a mansion when compared with the chicken coop in which the family was living at the time the loan was made. His poultry flock is thriving and his of garden are producing abundantly, Mr. Stott reports. He has already paid back $242 on the loan and additional payments are planned for the near future. five-roo- two-acr- m es SfcGfUitdvC' By DR. JOHN W.

Dis- cuss Problems at Meeting, Friday At a meeting, conducted Friday afternoon in the Court House at Brig-haCity by W. W. Owens, assistant thusiastically Re ceived at Ford Bowl A capacity crowd filled the huge Ford Music Bowl in Balboa Park, San Diego California Pacific International Exposition, to hear the first in a series of concerts by the famous tabernacle choir of Salt Lake City, which appeared twice daily for a week's engagement under the sponsorship of the Ford Motor Company, and Ford Dealers. Traveling aboard four special trains, more than 5,000 members of the L. D. S. Church came from Los Angeles, San Joaquin Valley, and central California cities to attend the choir concerts, held each afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock, and each evening from 8 to 9 o'clock. The choir concerts bid fair to bethe outstanding musical presentation at the exposition, as each concert earns an increasing number of plaudits from the thousands of music lovers who attend the exposition. The choir is under the direction of Albert J. Southwick, and features such soloists as Lucy Gates Bowen, soprano; Jessie Evans, contralto; F. Melvin Peterson, baritone; and William M. Hardiman, violinist. Frank W. Asper, considered one of the finest organists of his time, accompanies the choir on the powerful electronic organ in the San Diego Ford Bowl. The choir was heard in its regular Sunday morning radio concert over the Columbia broadcasting system at 8:30 a.m., mountain standard time, coming direct from the Ford Bowl stage. come Annual Legion Dance Carnival Set Aug. 10 The annual dance carnival of the DeVere Watkins post of the American Legion of this city will be held at the Moonlight Gardens Saturday, August 10th. Arrangements for special features and music are now being made and everyone is assured of a good time. Tickets will be offered for sale by the Legion members and everyone is requested to hold this date open for the season's outstanding party. Corporation County Fair Formed o f Many Debtor j At a meeting held in the Midland Hotel Tuesday evening, a new corporation of the Box Elder County fair was formed, the articles of the new corporation having been filed with the secretary of state previous to the meeting. From a board of nine directors .consisting of John P. Holmgren, C. G. Adney, Israel Hunsaker, Alma Theurer, John J. ' Shumway, Horace Richards, Noble Hunsaker, Dan Peterson and T. E. Adams, new officers for the fair were chosen. The newly elected officers are John P. Holmgren, president; C. G. Adney, vice president; with Alma Theurer as secretary-treasurePearl Hunsaker and Mable Hadfield were elected honorary second and third vice presidents, respectively. These two ladies will direct the activities of the women's department of the fair. The reorganization of the new corporation was made necessary when the state banking department took a judgment against the old fair corpor- ation for a note which has been past due several years and bought over the assets at a Sheriff's sale held Tuesday afternoon on the fair grounds. Attorney Lewis Jones was present at the meeting representing the State Banking department in offering to lease to the new corporation the fair buildings for the balance of this year, the terms of the lease to be 8 interest based in one year of the amount now owing, which would be approximately $320.00. The matter of signing the lease was deferred a few days in an effort to reduce the amount if possible. The matter will be taken up with the state banking department by the new officers and in the event that no concessions are granted in the terms of the lease it will be leased at the terms offered so that preparations may go forward in the conduct for, the annual fair and rodeo. The officers of the old fair corporation were invited to the meeting for the purpose of suggestions on the operating and conducting of the fair and rodeo and each were asked to express his opinion relative to the department over which he had been in charge for the past few years of the fair. Each expressed a desire to assist the new officers in any way they might be called upon to do. All present felt enthusiastic about the prospects of a successful fair and rodeo this year. Tremonton Beats Garland for Third Consecutive Time Tremonton Lions defeated Garland Cubs Sunday by the score of 8 to 7 in a nip and tuck ball game. As a result they jumped into undisputed first place in the second half of the o League. Logan Collegians defeated the Elks which left Tremonton the only undefeated team in the league. Last year on Peach Day Tremonton won from Garland by a very lop sided score. Then in the first half ot the season this year they beat Garland by one run in a very inter esting but poorly played game. In Sunday's game they both scored 1 run in the first inning. Then Tremonton scored 5 more in the next 3 innings while the best Garland could do was 2 runs. They kept right on playing fast, clean baseball till in the last half of the 7th inning they lea by the score of 7 to 6. This seemed to furnish the incentive that the Lions needed. Nelson came to bat and got a single then Green banged out a 2 base hit puting a man on second and third bases. Harris then laid ont a perfect bunt that scored Nelson and Vernal advanced Green to third. beat the play for him and was safe on nrst. Kicnarason men puuea another nice bunt that scored Green with the winning run. Tremonton played enough smart baseball that inning to catch Garland flat footed. Neither team could score in the remainder of the game. From looking over the results of these 3 games, especially the last 2, it looks like the 2 tean.3 are fairly! evenly matched with little difference in them. But there is no question on which side that little difference Farmers Assisted by Adjustment Committee r. m L. D. S. Cljoir En- New Utah-Idah- The county Farm-DeAdjustment committees appointed by Governor Henry H. Blood, for the purpose of stopping unnecessary foreclosures and making equitable debt settlements to heavily involved farmers, have in the past fifteen months considered a to9 tal of 519 cases, involving in the State of Utah alone. Of these 519 cases 234 with an indebtedness of $1,068,836.19 have been settled to the ultimate satisfaction of the debtor farmers and their creditors. There has been a scaling down of $214, 800.83, which is a complete saving to the farmers. In North Box Elder the committee now consisting of R. C. Harris, Tremonton; Dean Hall, Garland; T. F. Coombs, Fielding; have considered 68 cases with an indebtedness of They have settled 48 of these cases with an indebtedness of 2 and there have been scale downs of $59,218.03.

These committeemen are public spirited men performing a high type of! gratuitous comunity service. Their advice and help are absolutely free. serRecently the vice of Utah has made a part of, and incprporated into, the Rural Rehabilitation program. The county Rural Rehabilitation office will be the headcomquarters for mittees. Farm debtors and creditors ma make application for through the County Rural Rehabilitation Supervisor or any one of the Farm-DeAdjustment committeemen. This change, together with- the recent United States Supreme Court ruling on the Frazies-Lemk- e bt Word was received Monday by Amos P. Hansen, president of the Elwood Drainage district, of the approval of a RFC loan of $36,000 with which to refinance their drainage project. The application has been hang- ing fire for some two years and was finally approved through the persistent efforts of Senator Wm. H. King and Congressman Abe Murdock. According to Mr. Hansen, this will mean a saving of 25 per cent in principal and 2 per cent in interest to the drainage district and will ease their burden, which has become heavy during these depressed times. $2,386,-575.2- $289,-37ij.- 30 SERVICES HELD SAT.

Improvements on Otto's Cafe Are Completed Keeping abreast with the spirit of the times in remodeling and building that is going on in this community at present, Otto Schenkel, proprietor of Otto's Cafe, has just completed extensive improvements in his dining room and kitchen. A huge regrigerator has been installed in the kitchen. In the dining room, new floor covering has been laid with a new counter and counter seats being installed. The outside of the cafe has received a new coat of paint, which altogether has greatly improved the appearance and convenience of this popular cafe.

One of these was made by Harris catching a long fly in center field and then making a perfect throw to catch Skeeter Garrett off first base. Arch Richardson poled out one of the longest hit ever seen in these parts. He ran all the way around and back to second before the fielder could return the ball. For the third successive game Tremonton has sent Chambers to the showers. Tremonton seems to be a jinx to Jerry Morgan. He was far from his usual self and so was removed from the game. lies.

Stock Selling Campaign Nothing has happened in this community during the past several years that has been as stimulating to the progress of the community as the work now in progress in the bank building, arranging the quarters for the Bear River State Bank, which is expected to open Its doors for business early this month. A crew of decorators and workers have been at work on the building for the past week and a marvelous transformation is taking place, both inside and out, which will make it one of the most and attractive banking houses in this state. New sidewalks and entrance, in addition to a complete Interior change are now under construction and will be completed by the end of the week. At a meeting held Wednesday evening, special committees were appointed to complete the stock selling cam-palgn, which has been very successful as indicated in a report by Chairman Fred Gphart when he said that not a businessman in Tremonton had refused to buy stock and that he was confident that the amount would be over subscribed. Having been deprived of a banking institution in this community for the past three years, the citizens have had an opportunity to weigh the cost in convenience and trade it has meant to them. The enthusiastic manner in which the committees have gone to work and the response they have received indicates the sober determination that has come over the businessmen to have a bank in this community. With the vast resources of the Bear River Valley and the huge amount of money paid in each year for the crops grown here, one cannot see any reason why a strong, banking institution cannot be built up in this community. Under the proposed set-u- p for the new bank it is confidently expected that the resources of the bank will gain rapidly and become a strong and permanent institution with the fail- -' ures of the past institutions entirely wiped out, with confidence and security supplied by the personnal of the institution as well as the guarantee of deposits by the federal government te , Box Elder Club 4-- H Leaders Ass'n Meets Men and women members of the Box Elder County Club Leaders 4-- H Local Legion Post Reorganized Friday The DeVere Watkins Post No. 76 of the American Legion of this city, held its election meeting Friday of last week at which the following of organization met Friday evening, July 26, in the Bear River City amusement hall for the purpose of planning a tour and campfire recreational program for club members and leaders of the county.
