S. A. RASMUSSEN, Clerk. Midvale to Start Shipping Day-Old Eggs East Monday In conjunction with poultrymen from Provo and Draper, members of the Midvale Poultry association, will commence the shipment of day-old eggs to the New York market Monday, according to Henry J. Tempest, manager of the local candling plant. The present plans call for a car to be started with loading at Provo, then shunted to Draper and from there to Midvale for final f1lhng. The success with which other efforts on this line have been attended assure local poultrymen of au increase of one cent per dozen on every grade of eggs above the market price in the eastern city. This means nearly $200 per car extra by shipping strictly fresh stock. Mr. Tempest reports that the local plant is now handling approximately three ca s of feed per week. Th1s figure is far in excess of the estimated amount when the plant was opened last December. Industry Compared with Other Business Pursuits. PoultrymeB of Salt Lake county are lauded for the great strides in production made so far this year despite depression and low prices, in a statement issued recently by management of the Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperative association. The statement follows completion of an investigation into present conditions of the industry, and its position , relative to other businesses, agricultural and industrial. Salt Lake county poultry producers and those in Utah generally are at least as well off as persons in other lines of endeavor. Perhaps in most ways they are less seriously affected by the world-wide slump than most groups, the study shows. Increases 40 Per Cent Records of egg grading plants operated in the county by the association for its members, indicate that for a representative week, that of May 9th, tor instance, production in this county has increased 40 per cent over that for the corresponding week last year. Plants reporting are located at Salt Lake City, Riverton, Midvale and Draper. During the week mentioned the county's commercial egg production was 4410 cases, an increase of 1262 cases over the 3148 cases produced during this same period last year. The total for this county from January 1, 1931, through the week mentioned is 128,638 cases. Commercial production for all counties so far this year is 488,887 cases compared with · 315,766 last year at this time. The Increase is 173,121 cases or 55 per cent, showing that the production in the entire state has had a tremendous growth In face of adverse conditions. Producers Praised Reviewing this great increase in production, the association management praises producers of Salt Lake county and of the state generally for standing "by their guns" during these trying times. President Joseph Anderson and Clyde C. Edmonds, general manager, of the organization, extend personal commendation for the producers' loyalty and confidence. Federal figures compiled by U. S. bureau of crop estimates on the average prices received by Utah producers for various commercial crops on May 15, 1931, as compared with the same day in previous years show that egg and poultry prices to the farmer are less affected than those of about any other commodity. Members of the poultry association are In a better position still, since egg and poultry prices paid them are considerably above the average even in Utah. • Commodity Prices FaD Assuming that the present depression began with the stock market crash in November, 1929, accurate figures are available for periods before the deflation set in as well as now. Taking May 15, 1929, as "before the depression" and the latest now available, May 15, 1931, average prices to producers have decreased as follows: Eggs, 25 per cent; potatoes, 25 per cent; chickens, 28 per cent; alfalfa hay, 32 per cent; wheat, 36 per cent; beef cattle, 38 per cent; butter, 41 per cent; sheep, 42 per cent; lambs, 43 per cent; wool, 54 per cent. Average prices to farmers on May 15 this year follow, with those for two years ago in parenthesis: Eggs, 15 cents per dozen, (20); chickens, 13 cents per pound, (18); wheat, 63 centP per bushel, (98); alfalfa hay, $10 per ton, ($14.50); potatoes, 45 cents per bushel, (60); beef, $5.60 per 100 pounds, ($9.00); sheep, $5 per 100 pounds, ( $2.50) ; lambs, $6.90 per 100 pounds, ($12.10); wool, 14 cents per pound, (30); butter, 26 cents per pound, ( 44) . Prices on industrial and manufactured goods as a whole have dropped off from 35 to 50 per cent. In view of the findings of this survey the poultry association management believes that the poultry industry is at least as good as any other to be engaged in. Number6. Lions Choose Heads For Year MISS MARCHANT Birthday Of MDVALE MILL BEGINS ACTION RETURNS HOME U. s. Flag Nelda Marchant, Midvale Junior high school student, who at the age of thirteen years outspelled some 24,000 Utah students in the contest sponsored by the Salt Lake Tribune and thereby won a chance to compete in the natiOnal tuornament at Washington, D. C. is home again. Although she failed to capture national honors, she brought fame to Midvale and had an enjoyable trip. While in the capital she was greeted and congratulated by President Hoover, and shown all the sights of ~he city under the escort of the contest editor of the Salt Lake Tribune and Mrs. Gus P. Backman, wife of the Salt Lake chamber of commerce. On her return she visited New York, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago and Omaha, in addition to trips to Arlington cemetery and Mount Vernon. Her most wonderful sight, she says, was when she stood atop Washington monument and gazed over the city of Washington and down the Patomac. She was somewhat disappointed in Chicago because its buildmgs were not so tall as those of New York. Washington is her favorite among the cities she visited. Nelda kept a diary of all the time she was away, which, doubtless will prove of untold worth to her later in life. Although she will be unable to compete in next year's contest on account of scholastic grading she is proud of her achievement in 1931 and says she did her best. Nears June 14, Flag Day, will this year direct the thoughts of every good American to the future ru! well as to the past. The patriotic citizen will be reminded that June 14, 1931, marks the 154th anniversary of the day when the Continental Congress passed the resolution officially establishing, as the emblem of the United States, a flag "of thirteen stripes alternate red and white," and "that the union be 13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation." But every patriot will also look forward to next year, when Flag Day \vill take a still deeper meaning as one of the key days in the ten months' nation-wide celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington. According to the plans of the pnited States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, every American, in every state and city of the country, will then be encouraged to honor the flag with appropriate cerem nies and with a new devotion, linked as it is with the life and labors of George Washington. Tradition Is Firm Historians may regard as unsupported by fact the story of Betsy Ross" stitching the first• American Flag, but no one disputes the fact that the legend bas become part and parcel of American folklore.

MIDVALE BATTERS HIT BALL FOR BIG AVERAGE At the regular meeting of the Midvale Lions club held in Firemen's hall Wednesday evening, officers for the ensuing year were elected. They will be installed at the next meeting, two weeks hence. D. M. Todd, Jr., was chosen president; H. M. Nicholson, first v1ce pres.ident; Aaron Horne, second vice president; C. I. Goff, reelected secretary; Vernon Gray, treasurer; Zach Brown, Lion Tamer; Leon Rasmussen, Tail Twister; R. R. Gilbert, song and yell master, with Dr. H. E. Nelson. as his assistant, and George W. Cox and Joseph M:. Warner were added to the board of directors. C. E. Matthews, retiring president, becomes ex-officio member of the board, to serve with the new members and James A. Alcorn and C. F. Esperson. A committee recommended acceptance of the offer of the Salt Lake County Farm Bureau to hold its annual outing in Midvale on August 14, and plans >vill be followed to bring the event here.

Lovers of the rod, reel and stream declare that the exodus will begin Sunday in Midvale, and fear bas been expressed in some quarters as to what \\ill become of the women and children in the event of an Indian attack with all of the men folk absent. Monday is June 15, and to the majority of the out-of-door type this date signifies the shutting down of any project which might interfere with the followers of Isaac Walton. Fish Lake seems to be the particularly luring spot to a number of local men, including E. E. Ellesen, local director of the Salt Lake County Fish and Game association. A large number, however, are expected to wade the streams of Salt Lake county in search of the speckled trout, and the Cottonwoods and the other canyon streams will not lack for fishermen. The Provo, both upper and lower, also holds a strong lure for the fly casters this year. On account of the extreme clarity of the water in the canyon streams, it is predicted that no bait fishing will be indulged in. Streams in southern Utah, especially in Washington county are reported to be better stocked with trout for the opening of the season than those of many other sections of the state. Although State Fish and Game Commissioner N. B. Cook endeavored to lengthen the season by one day by declaring the season open on Sunday, June 14, to allow a number of anglers who could not get away from business on Monday to indulge in the sport, his efforts were defeated. The state legislature, he says, has the sole power to designate the dates of open season. The new planning mill, erected in the rear of 4.1 East Center street by C. J.
