HIGHLIGHTS • Midvale, Utah, Thursday, October 151931 ----------------------- 1-..r---Ind_ian_su_mm_er_,____,l OF THE 0 C.ENSUS BUREAU 'SUGAR BEET RAISERS ISSUES DATA ON FORECAST BIG SEASON DRAINED WEEK'S NEWS Thomas Alva Edison, aged inventor of electric lights, phonograph records and numerous other appliances which are commonplace in, the home of toctay, rested easier Wednesday night although his recovery is held doubtful by attending physicians. . Silver, the main metal mined in Utah, has taken a slight turn for the better during the past week, owing to the activities of Senators King and Smoot. Both men have urged bimetallism in their national addresses. Primo Carnero, famed Italian heavyweight boxer, lost a decision to Jack Sharkey in New- York. Sharkey at once becomes the hero of fighting fans throughout the nation. Primo, though outweighing his rival by many pounds, lost to the better man. Midvale Lions Entertain Guests Members of the Midvale Lions club entertained their wives and a num· ber of friends in the Midvale Second ward amusement hall Wednesday night instead of holding the regular semi-monthly business meeting in Firemen's ball. A banquet was held in the dining hall of the meeting house, covers being laid for fifty-one. Aaron Horne was toastmaster of the evening, with C. E. Matthews acting in the capacity of prognosticator. A feature of the evening was the method used in selecting partners for dinner, and each lady was required to read what was written on slips of paper which were given them in answer to roll call. Eddie Kimball, coach of the Jordan high school football team, was a guest of the club, and told of some of the work of the local team. It was voted that the Lions club attend the coming game with West high in a body and lend encouragement to the team in their race for the district championship this year. Following the banquet the Lions and their guests adjourned to the amusement hall where a program consisting of chalk drawings by Tomoko Watanuki, readings by Miss Lucille Tuttle of the dramatic art department of the high school, and :musical selections by Herman Holmgren was given. Following the program, dancing was enjoyed, the music being furnished by the Midvale Junior high school orchestra under the direction of Prof. C. W. Barton. During the evening the resignation of D. M. Todd, Jr., as president of the club was read and accepted, as Mr. Todd's business affairs have temporarily called him out of the city. As is the custom of the club where a vacancy occurs in the office of president, Harry M. Nicholson, first vice president, automatically becomes president, and Aaron Horne, second vice president, takes the place of first vice president; the other officers retain their present positions. Register Before Last Day Passes, Candidates Urge Every citizen of Midvale is urged to register for the coming election, or else to make sure that his or her name is on the registration lists before the day comes to decide who is to steer the governmental ship of Midvale for the next term. Only two more days are left for registration, October 20 and October 27. The election will take place on November 3. Those in district 308 should register with Mrs. Hannah G. Canning, 26 West Lennox street, and in district 307 the registration place is at the home of Mrs. Jeannie M. Thomas, 40 First avenue. It is pointed out by those who are in charge of campaigns for the various candidates that it is the duty of every citizen to vote, thereby aiding in securing the form of government that the individual feels his favorite candidate will enforce. FARMSIREGARD THE LAWS Statistics Show 156,052 Acres in Organized Enterprise. The St. Louis Cardinals, champions of the National league in baseball, stopped the Philadelphia Athletics' winning streak and copped the world series by a 4 to 3 victory. The Red Birds under the management of Old "Gabby" Street, tamed Connie Mack's boys in what would have been a record if the Quaker City team could have hung up a winning streak of three world series wins in a row. Japan and China seem to be intent on war, despite the fact that other nations are trying to call off the war dogs in an amicable settlement of their troubles. "Leave us alone," they say, "and we'll end it." Maybe they know what they're doing. Jordan Grabs Candidates For Scalps of City Officers Davis Chosen By WILLIE ROBIS A huge steam roller bearing the red and gray colors of Jordan high ;chool, bore down on the Davis team, ~ast Friday, to roll up a huge score of 51 to 0, all jn favor of the Beetdiggers. It was a game that showed ;me fairly good team trying to stop ~he rushes of a far more superior eleven, one that refused to be checked oy anything but the timkeeper's whistle. Led by their "all-state man," Delmar Larsen, the Beetmen rolled up >core after score in a machine-like process. Larsen carried over four of the eight Beetdigger touchdowns, and converted an extra point for his· team to run up an individual total of 25 points for the day. Larsen, slippery 'l.S an eel, whirled and reeled through the line of scrimmage and out into che open field w"here his great speed J.nd elusiveness carried him for many extra yards. Nevertheless, without the great blocking of Lunnen and Jensen, many of Larsen's runs would have never developed. The Jordan iine held well on these occasions and permitted scarcely a break. Hansen, Beetdigger quarter, called >ignals in fine manner, and ·added many yards for his team with his fine plunging. Beckstead, on end, performed well throughout the entire contest and helped his team's cause by snaring a ·pass from Larsen for the Beetdiggers' second score. Bill Cowley, Davis' "all-state" man, showed up well for his team, while treating the fans to some of his bullet-like passes.

Number 24 Following the holding of the People's party and Progressive party conventions Thursday evening, in which more interest was manifest than for a number of years, successful candidates for offices in the government of Midvale city were ready for the final barrage prior to election. In a number of case.s bitter rivalry was settled at the ballot boxes and the choices of the voters was shown. At the Progr~ssive party convention, held in Firemen's hall, J. A. Alcorn was nominated for mayor, Mrs. Vera Bateman Van Horn for city recorder, and Harry Miller for treasurer. In the contest for councilmen, Eli Mitchell was nominated for the four-year term with a major~ ity of three votes, C. E. Matthews and C. F. Esperson were tied for second and third place, and .Leon Rasmussen was the fourth man chosen to make up the ticekt for councilmen. Robert Lindsay was the unsuccessful candidate. At the Midvale Second ward hall, where the People's party held its convention, a crowd estimated at more than 600 was present. There was quite a little rivalry for the various offices, with the closest contest being for the office of city treasurer, Melvin Lind being nominated with a majority of 37 over Harry Wright, his opponent. L.A. Porter was nominated for mayor, with a majority of 138 votes; Mrs. Mary B. Stokes was nominated by acclamation for city recorder; E. C. O'Brien for councilman for the four-year term, and the present incumbents, E. E. Elieson, J. Hollis Aylett, and Dr. R. W. Quick were nominated for the two-year terms.

The entertainment committee was very fortunate in securing these artists, as they are very much in demand. It was announced by Thomas Forman, chairman, that a meeting of the People's party workers will be held next Monday night in Firemen's hall. A drainage bulletin for Utah, recently issued by the Bureau of the Census, containing State and county statistics, show the organized drainage enterprises in Utah as covering 156,052 acres. Of this amount 137,962 acres comprise improved and 18,000 acres unimproved land. There were 142,941 acres sufficiently well drained to raise a normal crop; 7,511 acres fit for a partial crop; and 5,000 acres unfit to raise a crop because of lack of drainage. There were 109,518 acres in occupied farms, 90,368 acres inplanted crops, and 60,946 idle acres in these enterprises. There were 32 drainage enterprises in the State, with an average area of 4,877 acres. Of this number 7 contained 5,000 acres or more, 24 contained from 500 to 5,000 acres, and 1 was under 500 acres. Approximately 66 per cent of the land was in enterprises reported as in arrears in payment of principal or interest on bonds or other obligations. The land reported delinquent in drainage taxes amounted to 95,549 acres. Enterprises organized between 1915 and 1925 contained 93 per cent.of the land in organized projects, while approximately 4 per cent of the land was in enterprises organized between 1925 and 1930. About 85 per cent of the land was in enterprises which use district forces for maintenance work. The average cost of operation and maintenance work. in 1929 was 19 cents per acre. A copy of this bulletin for Utah may be obtained by writing to the Director of the Bureau of the Census, Washington, D. C. An intensive war on motorists who insist on breaking laws of traffic, or who drive their automobiles through red lights or with faulty brakes, started Monday of this week throughout the county, according to a statement issued at the county sheriff's office. The 1931 death toll has spurred the traffic officers to greater watchfulness on their posts, the report shows. The drive will not be confined to Salt Lake, but will extend over the entire county. Cooperation in the work bas been pledged by the state highway commission, Sheriff S. Grant Young and Chief Deputy Wesley L. Maughan. Chief of Police J. E. Burbidge of Salt Lake has also offered big support of the program. POULTRY MEET DRAWS THRONGS With approximately 800 farmers in Salt Lake county harvesting sugar beet crops the West Jordan factory of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company has gone into full capacity production, employing in the neighborhood of 250 men, according to Shores Loveless, an official of the firm. The 1931 crop is a happy surprise, Mr. Loveless says. Among the many tliings developed by the sugar producers of the West, in competiiton with the cane sugar growers, is the fact that, with the modern and efficient refining machinery and methods, even the most expert chemist cannot tell from an analysis the difference between beet and cane sugar. There was a time, not so long ago, when housewives claimed that they could get better results in their cooking with cane sugar. "Sugar is sugar," says Dr. James E. Talmage, now a member of the Council of the Twelve of the L. D. s. church, and formerly an outstanding scientific figure throughout the world. "After the process of refining bas been gone through there is no chemical difference between cane and beet sugar, and no one can distinguish between the two when the crystals have been dissolved," be continued. The local prices for sugar for Wednesday showed that, on account of added freight costs, cane sugar commanded from 28 to 30 cents more per hundred pounds than beet sugar, although, the local merchants reported, there was small demand for cane sugar. However, those that do feel they must have cane sugar to get the best results in the kitchen, are urged to use the local product and compare it with that from other localities. While the country is laboring under the stress of industrial and economical 1mcertainty people of the West should patronize western markets, and especially, in the event there is no advantage to use foreign products, they should help the West. Approximately 85 poultry raisers assembled in the Midvale First ward chapel Thursday evening, October 8, to discuss better methods of making money in the chicken business. During the meeting it was shown that the poultry industry in Utah had grown 122 per cent since the last report. It also showed that the farmers who raise chickens were adding 5.6 per cent to their profits. The market in New York, according to talks made, shows a decrease of 1,250,000 eggs monthly, which should and does aid Utah egg raisers in their production. The cold storage business is falling off, according to statistics given at the meeting. There are now many thousands of dozens of eggs less in the warehouses than there were at this time last year. Harry Grass, president of the Midvale Poultry association, told those assembled that by cooperative buying and selling many dollars that are Gross Sales for September, 1931 now going into foreign channels were $14,576,703.63 against Septem- could be kept at home. ber 1930 sales of $15,956,478.59, a loss for the month of 8.65 percent or $1,379,774.96.
