Strawberry Industry Creates Employment Watkins 60-Aore Barry Fiald At Oram Is Eatimated To Yield 25, 000 Catas of Luscious Fruit; 800 Pickara Employad. The largest strawberry farm In the Intermountain country is the BO. aver tract owned by Judge A. V. Watkins and la located at Orem. This vast strawberry field, with many other smaller patches thsough out the eounty, is one of the chief reasons that unemployment Is not o extensive in Utah county as in is 1.500 cases; the farm of Judge Watkins supplies alone 1,(00 cases of this number. The Orem patch of Judge Watkins was saved by artificial means last year. Faced by the killing drouth and a heavy loss last year, Judge Watkins made arrangements for the sinking of a drilled well on highest point on the farm. This was the first well in this part of the country run by a deep-well elec trical turbine pump. This well not only saved the ber- tors, two cooks and two bus driv- Pickere Start Early The average number of cases picked per person Is 10, and the w agree received is 10 cents per case. On girl, a freshman at the U. 8. A. C. at Logan, has consistently the, picked j5 cases per day at the Wat- kins' field. With the present buying power of the dollar considered, the pickers receive a fair wage.

Although the strawberry straw-berry industry Is not paying the grrowers for the crop requires more hand labor than any other farm crop In the section. From March 1 to June 1 on this farm, an average of 11 men have been employed every day, hoeing-, planting, irrigating-, digging plants, cultivating and the rest of the jobs required for the upkeep of the crop. For the picking of the 25,000 cases of berries which the field will likely like-ly yield this year, approximately SOO girls and boys are hired for a period of a month.

It also pointed the way to the acquisition of extra culinary prater by Orem town and Lehl City, which were left nearly high and dry as far as drinking water was concerned.

This means that after 20 cents Is deducted by the sales organization or-ganization for cups, cases, handling, trucking and administration, 10 cents is taken out' for the picking-, 5 cents for the transportation of pickers and for overseers; 22 cents is left for the grower. And that means that the grower just about breaks even on his berry farm. But it also means which is mighty migh-ty important at this time, that thousands of Utah county people are employed in gainful occupation; enough to wipe part of that smile of smug; satisfaction off the face of Old Man Depression. The Livestock Situation By J. A. McNaughton Los Angeles, July 5. After declining de-clining to the lowest levels in more than forty years, hog prices have made sharp recovery, carrying prices to the highest levels in about three months. Some seasonal advance ad-vance had been anticipated in hog values but the most optimistic had not looked for the rapid recovery that has featured the trading during the past two weeks. Further improvement in the hog market may generally be expected at this season of the year, as the trend of hog prices over a period their pigs and serious consequences are possible. History shows that periods of abnormally ab-normally low prices generally bring about sharp curtailment in production, produc-tion, with abnormally high prices the usual result. It remains to be seen whether or not this will be true. Nevertheless, the outlook for hog prices is favorable and it would appear that the purchase of good brood sows at prevailing prices would be a good investment. Sheep and Lamba Price advances featured June fat lamb markets, as supplies in California Cali-fornia dwindled. A top of $6.00 was scored on the Los Angeles market mar-ket towards the close of June, and the bulk of California fat lambs were sold at $4.50 to $5.80, making values at the close of June fully 60c of many years shows that the peak 'to 75c higher than at the close of in prices generally is reached in ! May. A year ago, top lambs sold on August. Government reports indicate indi-cate that marketings for the balance of 1932 will be smaller than the large receipts of last year, while private reports indicate a considerable consider-able lessening in pigs for 1S3S. Many farmers have found in the ale of hogs practically their only means of raising immediate cash. Those who are in close touch with conditions throughout the mldUe west are of the opinion that many hog owners have sacrificed breeding breed-ing stock as a means of paying cur-rent cur-rent expenses and taxes. Another bullish feature that is giving many in the trade great concern con-cern is the breaking out of hog cholera in many sections. These outbreaks have been the result of lack of immunisation. Many farm, era have not felt Justified in the expense connected with vaccinating the Log Angeles market at $7.60, with the bulk at $$.50 to $7.60.

Italian City Worth Visiting One of the most Impressive sights In Italy, and one which few travelers travel-ers seem to have seen or even heard of, can be found in Cumae, a pleasant ride from Naples. Cumae was the most ancient Greek colony In Italy. Here sat that great oracle, or-acle, Cumaean Sibyl, and the subterranean subter-ranean passages leading to her grotto grot-to were described by Vergil and Dante. Only In the last few years have scientific excavations been made among the extensive ruins of this region. Still the automobiles of tourists speed along the main roads without pausing to see the wonders that have been disclosed.

Church and Palace One When World Was Young Worship in early times. Prof. David Da-vid Moore Robinson of Johns Hopkins Hop-kins university says, took place In the palaces where the king was also priest, and In the palace of King Minos as early as 1600 B. G there were aniconlc images, such ss the Greek cross which is used now In theGreek church. "After the destruction destruc-tion of the Mlnoan civilization," he continued. "Greece was plunged Into In-to a dark age from 1100 to 700 B. O, and had to develop all over again from humble origins. The church was separated from the state end the temples came to be separate buildings from the palaces." Professor Robinson said that la the early times in Crete and elsewhere else-where In Greece 'caves were used as shrines and votive offerings were deposited in the caves. "Such use of caves was continued through the classical and medieval ages," he added, "aid still exists In Lourdea and other places." The earliest Greek temples which were separated from the palaces, he declared, were of stone foundations with walls of mud brick and columns col-umns of wood, such as that of Hera at Olympla. Others like that at Corinth had monolithic columns of limestone covered with stucco. But the great temple of the Fifth century cen-tury B. C. were built of marble. "Shorthand" The origin of brief writing Is clouded in mystery. No authentic record exists establishing Its practical prac-tical use much before the First century, cen-tury, B. C From that period until about SOO A D. the art flourished throughout the Roman empire. The secretary and librarian of Cicero, Marcus Tulllos Tiro, was the pioneer pio-neer of Roman shorthand. The chief use of shorthand In Roman times was made by the leaders In the church and by government officials. Church dignitaries who made conspicuous con-spicuous use of shorthand were St Augustine, Orlgen, St Jerome. All the Roman emperors employed shorthand short-hand secretaries. Several emperors sttempted to learn It For centuries the art of shorthand fell Into disuse. dis-use. Modern shorthand dates from 1588, when Dr. Timothy Bright produced pro-duced a system Jo which he gave the title Characterie.

Hansen INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY "Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not neither do tlrey spin. Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them." Back of the lilie and the rose, .back of the landscape, back of all beautiful things that enchant us, there must be a great lover of the beautiful and a great beauty principle. There Is no investment which will give such returns as the culture of the finer self, the development of the sense of the beautiful, the subline and the true; the development develop-ment of qualities that are crushed out or strangled in the mere dollar-chaser. dollar-chaser. . ' ' A remarkable Instance of the elevating, refining - influence of beauty has been demonstrated by a Chicago school teacher, who fitted up in her school room a "beauty corner" for her pupils. It was fur nished with a stained glass window. A divan covered with an oriental rug and a few fine photographs and paintings. Among which was a pic ture of the Sistine Madonna. Several Seve-ral other esthetic trifles, artistically arranged, completed the furnishings of the "beauty corner." The children child-ren took great delight in their little retreat especially in the exquisite coloring of the stained glass window. Insensibly their conduct and demeanor demea-nor were affected by the beautiful objects with which they daily asso ciated. They became more gentle. more refined, more thoughtful and considerate. A young Italian boy in particular who had heen Incorrigible before the establishment of the "beauty corner" became in a short time so changed and softened that the teacher was astonished. One day she asked him what it was that had made him so good lately. Pointing Point-ing to the picture of Sistine Madonna Madon-na the toy said, "Bow can a feller do bad things when she is looking at him." Every star that twinkles in the sky, every flower bids us look behind be-hind it for its source, points to us to the great Author of beautiful. Beauty is a quality of divinity, and to live much with the beautiful Is to live close to the divine. .
