He doesn't at first see the men who have lost jobs with oil companies, private stations that are closed or the reduced purchasing power of the oil industry and its employes. ·When a milk-war such as has been launched in New Yotk state, offers milk to buyers at nine cents a quart, the consumer does not realize that this cuts a million dollars a month from the buying power of New York state's dairy farmers. These are specific examples of abnormal priee reductions which means unemployment and lowered purchasing power of producers. Legitimate price reductions are in order as the world drifts slowly back to normal but ruinous price competition causes unnecessary hardships to both labor and capital during the readjustment period.

Hats off to Wild Bill Lane, Oscar Vitt and company-they've sure made a go of it down there with the sheiks. * * • All business correspondence should be addressed to the Midvale Jonrnal, 136 N.

China deals with the United States on the basis of the silver standard. But now that metal is worth about 40 per cent less than it was worth a few years ago. As a result, China can no longer buy from us in the same quantities as before, and so is establishing factories of her owu to produce goods that once came from the United States. The silver problem is of vital interest to the entire world. There are many authorities who believe the United States would be well repaid if it took the lead in any sound plan for re-establishing a fair relation bet\\ een the value of silver and gold. A temporary fixing of price of silver at 50 cents an ounce by international agreement, ha.<> been proposed by Senator King of Utah as an emergency measure until an international conference can solve the silver question. He believes a bettering of the silver price would improve world trade and have a vast influence in alleviating unemployment in the United States. ANTI-NEPOTISM ACT AFFECTS MIDVALE MAN Through the workings of a piece of legislation, enacted into law at the last session ·of the gathering of the Utah lawmakers, known as the antinepotism bill, Ira Beckstead, assistant night citl marshal in Midvale, is required to give up that position. This was decided at the Tuesday regular meeting of the city council. · The action was necessary inasmuch as Mr. Beckstead was closely enough related to one of the council members to bring him under the law's interpretation.

Nevertheless, the teams are playing some good ball games which help to keep the public sufficiently interested.

Onion Ia Fastidious The lowly onion, popular as a food even back to the dnys when the ~~~· ra· mlds were built, may he common. but It Is, nevertheless, a highly particular vegetable, so far as growing condl· tlons are concerned. It requires especially soil of high fertility nnd well drained. It will not grow if weeds be present, and It needs cold, moist soil while growing and warm, dry conrlltions at maturity. •• • • • • • • • • Friday Only, June 5 Breck-Neck Horsemanship!
