Mr. Fiack made the ob- ervatiun at his station in the conn- ty seat, and states the variance is from two to three degrees warmer in Helper, and from four to five degrees colder at Kenilworth or in Spring Canyon district. December 14th the thermometer went 9 degrees below the zero mark, while on the loth the mercury dropped to M degrees below. The cold uap immediately followed the big snowstorm of last Friday, at which time the mercury hovered around 10 degrees above on the 11th to drop to 2 degrees above on the following day. The cold spell does not compare 'it the below sero weather of .January, 19.',, although it is unusual to experience such cold weather in the county in December. The previous records reveal continued below zero weather from January 9th until the 31st, with the coldest weather on January 27th when the thermometer stood at 27 degrees below zero.

GROWTH ( y J 'K "A V, 1 Ua v O o t fr agricultural and livestock commodities in almost the same condition as the unemployed of the heavily populated centers. If the condition be true that has been pointed out by the leading economists, some solution must be worked out to holp the ones who are in need. Emergency funds can and will be collected from lousiness men from a time, but in the long run they will not respond. When this time comes, what will become of the people who have no means for support? This is a serious question and must be answered and put into effect. Carbon county is not so bad off as in many sections of the country. We have our mines that go a long way toward fwnishing labor. The county and city authorities have created some work during the past several months, but now this is about 9 1, a n en cL Athaitjc crgaaixation has been effective to assist in giving relief, but they have more than they can do to provide sufficient funds for the needy,. 4' There is one , 'hat can be done if the ne unemployed of this county and elsewhere will cooperate. Carbon county has several hundred acres of farming land, though not the best, that can be used in producing the iiore necessary foods. The county commissioners have offered this land to any person who is willing to work it, A family could, if they so desired grow enough produce to keep them from starving from year to year. Besides this, most farmers of the county would be willing to loan a family enough land with which they could work for their support in part. Usually during the summer months, the mines of the county are not active. During this time the idle mine workers could grow their potatoes, beans, x INDICATES BY HUGE THERMOMETER Wight Derorv: A huge thermometer was placed in front of the City Hall this week by B. H. Hyde, president of the, chamber of commerce as a visible indication of the climbing membership in the newly organized civic group. Due to the busy holidnv season it has been impossible to direct a consistent program of procedure along membership lines, however, Sam Stein, chairman of the Membership committee announces over 75 new members have already signed the members' register. The thermometer's top figure is 300, which is the anticipated number of members sought for the civic organization. The dues have been placed at a nominal figure, making it possible for everyone interested in the welfare of the community able to afford membership. As the num.: ber of members increases the thermometer will register a higher degree on Helper's civic pulse. The first regular meeting of the chamber since election of officers will be held at the city hall Friday evening, December 18th. . T. yWAS the night before Christmas, when jo?

It brings with it the custom o jrivirjp gifts, a custom that is as old as the holiday, a custom that gives ourselves and others pleasure. It holds the true meaning of good will toward men. Today, that spirit gains an added impetus, for today your dollar goes further than it ever went at Christmas time in a great many years. Today, the merchants are offering you excellent quality in every branch of merchandise, at prices that have never been so low. Today, buying is made easy for you and for your pocketbook. You have only to read advertisements appear-- , i;ig in The Helper Times to be forcibly reminded of the new low cost of living. Certainly this new economic era invites buying urges increased holiday purchasing, which includes the buying of gifts. This year your Christmas shopping list can be as long as you feel it ought, to be, and everyone will be included, at less expense on your part; Part of the great spirit of Christmas, this year, includes the spirit of buying, in proportion to your yearly income, of "Peace on Earth, Good which in itself will do much to spread ' : Will toward Men." that-feelin- -- carrots, and a great variety of vegetables for their living.

WANT AMONG imlii-iitei- o i PROGRAM By O. P. MADSEX, County Agricultural Agent The best economists of America l have that there will be no normal conditions in the world for at least two more years. Money interests have tied up their surphis in bonds and are Bitting tight, and until something new develops, there will te no further expansion in business. It is this tie up of money that has helped place the world in the unemployed condition that is found at the present time. Millions of men are out of work and their families are suffering untold hardships for 'he lack of food and clotking. Farmers have more in their storehouses this year than for several years past. Livestock men are forced to hold their cattlet sheep and wool for the want of a market. Prices for such commodities are far below the cost of production. This condition has placed the producer of all kinds of 13 'Unofficial reports from the vicinity of Kyune, thirteen miles north of Helper, state the mercury dropped to 24 degrees below the zero mark the first of the week.

The ideal condition locally, would be for people to acquire a small acreage and plan to make a home, They could grow their own garden produce.

Each unit could keep a cow to snjiply milk and butter for tire needs of the family. A hog or two conild be kept profitably, and many could enter the business of raising turkeys. If conditions were worked out properly, and enough people saw their way clear to enter this activi ty, there would not be the distress that is found at the present time, In America today, there is not enough high class food stuff being produced to meet the needs of the discriminating house wife of the Eastern centers. There are seventy million women who want only the ' These best reeardless of pice. women never ask the price of commodity when the purchase is made if it is good enough for her table.'

C. Fenney company of Helper do nated five new mackinaws for among the local poor, the donation being in addition to their regular monthly cash contribution'i. Dr. Y. II. Low has recently donated two tons of coal. With the increased cold weather the fuel was a timely contribution for several families who might have, otherwise sufferad. The Lewis Ladies' store hav placed the sum of $28.60 or tlt equivalent of ten per cent of their opening day's sale with the relief workers. The amount included a percentage of the salaries, paid ou that day. According to William Beynolds, local manager, a ten per cent ration of a day's sale to be given before the close of the year will also swell the local relief coffers. Want and suffering among tha workless of the Carbon district has been redweed to a minimum, with a total .of 140 families or approximately 600 persons being fed and cared for through the efforts of loeal relief workers. Mr. Fiack atates the number receiving regular assistance are about equally divided betweee the Helper and Price sections. Food stuffs purchased from fund tm9 HBrffdnateo Bjr tfar fnel compnieg of the district, are allotted to tin. seedy at regular intervals, however, the head of each family, if physically fit must re. ciprocate by labdring for the city in which he resides. At Helper ft day's wage for public work entitle! the laborer to $4.00 worth of groceries. The problem of securing the regular pledged donations with which to carry on the commissaries has been one of the biggest facing the relief committee. Mr. Fiack states Mrs, A. F. Drury has been .300 per cent responsible for the financial suceesi of the relief work in Helper, Martin ' and vicinity. Mr. Fiack 'a appointment as special agent of a county cooperative office to work under the supervision of the Trnited States employment service has been passed upon by the contact committee and approved by, the county commissioners, and actual operation of the new department is pending the arrival of the necessary supplies from Washington ' - ' D.
