Dur-ing Dur-ing that period the Democrats, always al-ways hostile to protection, got In the habit of deriding a tariff on farm products as nothing more than a Republican effort to fool the farmers by making them believe the tariff was of direct benefit to them. In recent years conditions have vastly changed in respect to the importation im-portation of farm products. Many countries which raiBe the same crops we do have developed large surpluses and by reason of quick transportation and the use of refrigeration re-frigeration are able to lay those products down in our markets In sufficient quantities to constitute very real competition to American .rmn Vhat and corn from Survey Shows Plenty of bnow In Canyon There Is 5 feet 1 Inches of snow on the Dutchman flat according to a survey made Wednesday, March 30th, by Vivian N. West, forest ranger of the American Fork canyon district, and his assistant E. M. Halllday. They checked eighteen Various Nation. Find Good Uses for Seaweed What alt water bather, who has been tangled in seaweed, or motor-boat motor-boat owner whose propeller bai been clogged by the marine growth, can Imagine that Japan harvested 450,000,000 pounds last year; that the United States Imports about 5,000 tons annually; and that the United States has a seaweed Industry Indus-try on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts? Seaweed has been consumed as food by the Japanese, Chinese and HawallaDs for many centuries, while Irish moss and seaweed products prod-ucts have graced the American table In various forms since Colonial Colo-nial days, when it was Imported from England, says the National Geographic society. An early use of the weed was as fertilizer by farmers near the sea. Today, besides serving as fertilizer fer-tilizer and food, It Is an Ingredient Ingredi-ent of fine paper knife handles and oriental curios. Kamchatka natives na-tives use Its hollow Btems as colls for distilleries, while Australians have discovered a species from which cloth, rope, twine and mats can be made. i9ti " . .... ... 'WT9 the canyon and their report show4 The other day a bookmaker by mis ed the average depth as 67 Vi inches. The water content was found to be 23 A inches or a little over one third of the total snow depth. This Is nearly four times as much moisture as was recorded at the same stations and at the same time last year. Mr. West's records for the 1931 readings are 25 & inches of snow and 8.J inches of moisture content. In commenting on the conditions in the canyon Mr. West stated that the snow depth and water content was a little above the average year at the Dutchman flat which gives a general reading of the entire water shed. The fact that it is four times as much as last year will at least Insure the valley plenty of irrigation irriga-tion water this coming season. Asked if any snow slides had Case of Great Virtue or Just Plain Honesty? A gossip writer In an English, paper, pa-per, who fairly revels in stories about Mayfair and great country houses, recently singled out an act of what he thought super-eminent virtue performed by a great aristocratic aristo-cratic lady. Here are his words: "She Is as honest as Bhe Is modest s s S as u ai,.. nv animals from come aown ne saia mere were no Mexico and, Canada, dressed beef, j extremly large slides and that they mutton and wool from New Zealand and Australia, citrous fruits and veaetables from "Mexico and farther south, sugar from Cuba, dairy and poultry products from Canada, grain from Canada and RuBsia all these come into competition with the American products and a protective tariff has become as essential to American agriculture as it is to American industry. , CATTLE During the last year of the old tariff, ending June 30, 1930, the total number of beef cattle imported into in-to this country was 410,000. The Hawley-Smoot bill raised the duty from one and one-half cents to two and one-half cents a pound with the result that In the next twelve months cattle imports dropped to 78,000 head. Was it not worth something to United States farmers farm-ers to have imports of foreign cattle cat-tle reduced by more than 300,000 head? BUTTER The old tariff carried a rate of twelve cents a pound on butter and in 1930 we Imported 2,851,000 pounds. The Hawley-Smoot law raised the duty to fourteen cents a pound and In 1831 we imported 1.-329,000 1.-329,000 pounds. Was it not worth something to United States farmers to have 1,500,000 pounds of foreign butter shut out of their market T WHEAT .; , i A recent . survey made In American Amer-ican and Canadian towns similarly located, to ascertain the price of wheat disclosed that the American farmers had an advantage of twenty twen-ty cents a bushel. He Certainly would not have had this advantage If wheat had been on the free list as it was under the last Democratic Democra-tic tariff. MILK, EGGS, WOOL, SUGAR ETC And so on for some other seven-,ty-flv other products of the farm Including cream, milk, eggs, cheese, wool, sugar, and other products. The Hawley-Smoot tariff is a farmer's farm-er's tariff. So It is up to the farmers of the United States to be vigilant if they desire to maintain the protection they now enjov, thanks to the Re publican party, and to that party only.

However, it is still winter in the upper reaches of the canyon, snow being piled to great depth on either side of the road by the county coun-ty snow plows which were used in opening the road, he stated.

Ills historian reports that the Aztecs Az-tecs used the cacao bean, from which chocolate ts made, very generally. gen-erally. They made a delicious beverage bev-erage from chocolate, and it Is reported re-ported that the Montezuma would drink no other. The Spaniards tried to keep their chocolate recipe from the rest of the world, but without success. Soon the wealthy la France, England and other European Eu-ropean countries were having chocolate choc-olate every day. Four hundred years' usage has not decreased the popularity of this excellent food, and we how Import, great auantltles of eaca'o beans Into this country very year, Parent-Teachers Meeting Meet-ing Next Thursday The Parent-Teachers association will hold their regular meeting next Thursday evening.

Is a bird that uses its wings under water in exactly ex-actly the same manner as when flying fly-ing through the air. The birds are much like the thrush and walk along the bottom of streams In search of food. While they are thus submerged, they must make constant use of their wings to keep down, for their bodies are so light that they would Immediately come to the top otherwise. When they do come to the surface the water rolls from their feathers and they are perfectly dry. They ar not web-footed, web-footed, but they swim on the surface sur-face with perfect ease. Uses of a Hobby One fine thing about a hobby Is that one never knows where it will end or where it may lead. Many a man has pursued a hobby so zealously zeal-ously that eventually it became his vocation, leading to fame, fortune and whatnot ttnt that Is acci dental and exceptional. The nrl y - 1 BEVERLY HILLS Well all I know la just, what I read in the papers Poor old papers. While the Llndberg case was at Its eighth they even had to cut out some of the adds. Lets see how Is the world going anyhow. Has depression depres-sion scraped the bottom, or is it anchored there? Things happen for a few days in row that make you think, well maby she Is turning. Then the next week all that is washed up and It looks like we dont know a thing. They are getting a lot of more people employed, em-ployed, due to some splendid work of some very able and public spirited spir-ited men. I have a friend In the East, one of the big International polo players, Cheever Cowdln, and he has done a lot of fine work along that line, . .. . , To know this darn, thing ; has made the whole country better, off in a lot of ways. Its done away with four flushing. If a man hasent got it. he don't mind telling you right out that he hasent Its made poverty pov-erty fashionable. Its brought out some mighty good qualities In lots of people. There la a spirit of better bet-ter fellowship among everyone I think. Things really are not as bad off as soma paint em. That is I mean If the ones out bf work could get Jobs. Course there Is lots of things that are not making money, but they art not suffering so much. The darndest crime of the whole thing Is farm machinery. Never did a farmer have as little, yet never has his machinery cost as much. I think their earnings have kept up during all this hard times. They know aa old boy has got to have a Plow, to make him pay for It Most thats Just a name, no tax Is really painless. Then get the Income tax high. Tou got to earn big money or yon don't pay It, so there should never be any holler about that, but there should be a distinction be tween earned and un-earned Income. For Instance a man that earns every dollar by his work or efforts, then another earns the same by having enough money invested to bring him in that much, One has hia principal prin-cipal to fall back on, and the other has nothing to fall back on when his earning capacity has diminished. Oh, but the tough part of our whole system is the amount of money they are spending, hundreds, thousands, practically millions that are working for the state, the city, the Federal Government And Its not a bit better than the government govern-ment we got for ons third the money twenty years ago. But we'll do like the British, we'll muddle through. Goih wasent we crazy there for awhile! Why the thought never entered our head that we wasent the hrlehtuf. aria. w " j- complshed peor pie , that . ever was .on this earth Hadent we figured out "Mass Production"? Produc-tion"? Ooulde?.t we make more things than anybody? any-body? Did the thought ever enter en-ter our bone head that the time might come when nobody would want all these things we were making? No we had It all figured fig-ured out that the more we made the more they would want Honest as we look back on it now. somebody ought to have taken each ona of ns and soaked our fat heads. A National Menace - What shall we do with the howling dervishes, the kill- r- . vu-nvuj , i ue country is infested with i Irrespective of their masquerade, whether xmr Affi,;i a of senators, congressman, governors, party chairman or as perts in this or that field, or just plain calamity howlers, 1 matter what their titles or lack of title, they are all of the sac' ilk. ; - 'y They grow on misfortune and thrive on despair TV gloat over; every sign' of weakness in our institutions, and If! and pray for insolvency" and utter collapse-so that they isi;! demonstrate their ability to prophecy and, incidently, to power for themselves.

To paraphrase the words of Paul, they believe all fr-ful fr-ful things to come, they hope for all bad things, and if then i anything lacking in virtue, ugly, or of false report, and unprais? worthy, they seek after these things. In Norman times we pass them by with a shrug of it shoulder. We tolerate and endure them. But in times like tit present they are a positive menace, as much a menace as an thinking person would cry "fire" in a crowded theatre. If the nation' were at war with a foreign enemy, ties conduct would likely be classed as bordering ontreasoa-atfe very least they would be interned with their own species to vel in the thick gloom of their own making.
