LIBERTY Bear Lake valley's Black and White day this year was unquestionably, according to residents here, about the most successful dairy show ever held here, and one of tha features which provided perhaps as, much food for thought to the dairy farmer was an exhibition of nine dairy cows owned in this immediate vicinity. These animals had made outstanding records in. cow testing association work. PLEASANT GROVE Utah's straw berry crop now being harvested is expected to amount to 2,800,000 Quarts', as cJmcaxed with 2.544,000 a year ago, according to cir- sof Frank Andrews, agricultural statistician for the United States department of agriculture, released for Tuesday. The report of Mr, Andrews shows that there are 1400 acres in bearing this year, an increase of 100 acres over 1927. A special butterfat PANGUITCH test was run on every can of milk taken in at the local cheese factory early in the week. The test, taken as a check for the regular employees of the factory, showed variations of 2.2 per cent to 6.3 per cent. The factory is now receiving over 3500 pounds of milk daily, while the figure should more than double when Panguitch Lake and Hatch are put on gathering . SYNOPSIS ?Go Ahead" Morton, Virginian, and secret service man, receives letter from Tom Fair, bandit leader, urging that some one be to rescue Stella Morton, ?ent Bister, from the gang. An enemy In the gang prevents Fair from helping the girl. The letter Was Intended for "Go Ahead's" father, who is away from home. "Go Ahead" decides to go himself. At "Robbers' Boost" Fair explains the situation to now eighteen years old. SheStella, does not want to leave Fair, for whom she has the affection of a daughter. i CHAPTER III i Continued 5 tthen, abruptly, to Fair's delight, Barker sent him word of some Mexicans who wanted him to run a shipment of rifles and ammunition across the line Into Mexico and take back In payment a shipment of whisky. The transaction would be enormously profitable to both parties; and Fair pumped at it, though ordinarily he would have considered It rather below his dignity something like "taking feandy from kids," and all that I Easy as it was, however, It would get Wade "away from camp he decided at once to pot "Wade in charge of the expedition lor a day or two at least ; and it would restore the mo rale of some of tha men. It did not 'occur to him that it would especially Interest Stella. But it did. Stella had been finding the suspense of waiting for Green any thing but pleasant; once she had decided to go East, she wanted to go right away. And now that the chance offered for one more night ride (un doubtedly the last that she could hope to see) she made up her mind to go, Iwilly nilly. The ethics of the expedition did not trouble her at ell; in fact, it did not even occur to her that any question of ethics was involved. The only thing that troubled her was in regard to Fair. She knew that he would object to her going; and, though she was sure that she could persuade him tj let her go, Ehe shrank from the necessity. Why not Just go and let him find out later? Really, there was- - no risk to her; nobody had ever hurt her; therefore nobody ever would, jller arguments were those of reckless youth the world over. She could not guess that Wade bad noticed how she was moping, and that he and Barker bad between them hatched up a scheme for the purpose ,of getting her out of the Roost and safely away without Fair's knowl-'edgTo make assurance doubly sure, jVTade applied a prod during the three jor four days that passed while Wade and his men waited for the word from iBarker that the rifles had reached (Barker's place (known as the JB ranch) and were ready. to be started for the border. At Wade's orders sun-drof bis friends dropped remarks in Stella's hearing in regard to thrilling adventures that were likely to 'happen on the trip, knowing well that (the promise of adventure was the bait ;at which she would most eagerly snap.. The results appeared when the word from Barker came, and Wade and his chosen ten met in the corral In the early dawn to saddle their horses for an immediate start; for at that moment Stella slipped to Wade's side. "BUI, she pleaded, "can't you take me with you?" Bill looked at her and sniffed. "We ain't takin' no ladles on this trip," he answered. "Ladies 1" Stella blazed in sudden fiiry. "Who are you calling ladies?" "Tout Lenstwnys, that's what Fair thinks. 1 guess be wants you to stay at home and learn to sew." Sew 1 Me?" "Sure. What else? That's what girls do." "I'm not a girl. I'm a boy !" Stella's words were bold, but most nnboylsh tears lay very close behind her eyes. "Not by a dang sight you ain't." Pants are all right to swell around in ; but they don't make a girl into a boy. This trip's likely to be excitln"; and when It comes right down to trouble a boy's worth three girls." Cannot Harden Rubber The bureau of standnrds says when rubber Is melted It Is changed both chemically and physically. It cannot be hardened. Contrary to what seems to be the quite common impression, rubber goods ore not cast by pouring the melted material Into molds, llnstea 1 the crude rubber is worked rolls and at the hetwern stenm-heatetame tine the sulphur and other ore mixed op. The wnrm, Iplnstic Mixture Is then molded end heated to vulcanize the rubber that The tears welled into Stella's eyes, but she winked them back. "Not three girls like me," she protested. Bill snatched at the psychological moment "Well, maybe worth only two girls like you," he chuckled. "Shucks, Bob, I'd like to take you. But I can't risk it Fair'd kill me If anything happened to you. He would so." "Nothing's going to happen to me. Please, Bill." Oh, shucks I D'you "No, I can't know that little Charley Harris is sick?" "No." Stella did not see the connection; but her tones were breathless. "Well, he is. lie's too sick to go with us today. I was Just goln' to pick somebody for his place. But I ain't told Fair about it. An', of course, it'll still be pretty dark when we report as we go out" "Oh! Take me along in Charley's place." "Nix. Not on your life. I ain't dls- obeyln' orders none. . . . 'Course, if somebody came along in Charley's place without my knowln' it I couldn't well be expected to send him back after we got fifty miles away." Thank "Oli, good for you, Bill! you." "Thanks nothiu'. You ain't got anything to thank me for. An' I ain't got any more time to waste. Ton run along an' let me be." Bill turned away. So did Stella. But when the raiding party halted at Fair's door In the dim of light of the dawn to report their departure and receive any last minute instructions; and a little later when they rode away, out beneath the waterfall, there were ten of them instead of nine. In nddition to the leader. Charley's place bad been filled. Fair did not miss Stella until hours after she had gone. That Is to say, he missed her but thought nothing of it Stella seldom appeared at breakfast ; usually she was up and out long before the rest of the camp opened its collective eyes. Esen when she did not return at midday dinner he was not alarmed, supposing that she was chatting with the women or playing with the children somewhere In the) valley. And In the late afternoon Green turned up with the big newsj and he and Fair had to talk things out at length. "You were right in thlnkin' the Morton you wrote to would be pretty old," began Green, after preliminaries had been ended. "lie was away from home, up In New York ; but he's got a son that sure Is a hellyon. He's got a flossy name George Ashmead Morton, but every one calls him Gc Ahead, an' " "Go Ahead? You mean" "I reckon I mean Just what you're thlnkin. lie's sure got a big reputa tion for bringin' home the bacon when he goes after it" "But did anyone tell you he was a D. J. man?" "That's what they did. But I took a chance on his playln square; everybody in his parts says he always has." Fair drew a long breath. "1 guess you didn't make any mistake. Jack," he decided. "Anyway, the cards are, dealt; and I'm willing to play them, Which of my letters did you give him?" "Gave him your number one an' told Mm mighty nlgli everything be wanted to know." "Did he open np too; tell yon he was a dick, and all that?" "Sure! We had plenty of t talks comin' across the country, lie knew who you meant by 'Jim in your letter; and be knew that he was In with us. 'We ain't got the goods on blm yet,' he says; 'but we will some day.' And he told me right out that be and his people were doln' their best to break us up. But, of course, that wasn't no news. 'We're enemies,' says be; 'an' we've got to stay so till you fellows are smashed for good and all.

Nomination Republican national convention the attention of the country for at least five days of the week. The nomination of Herbert C. Hoover as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, a foregone conclusion before the doors of the convention hall were opened to the delegates, left the proceedings largely a matter of routine, except for the battle over the platform. The outstanding feature of the convention, seen in retrospect, was the Hoover control of the proceedings. It was supreme, but it was a mannerly, orderly control. No rough stuff. Opponents of the Hoover majority were courteously given ample opportunity to present their side of the questions at issue and no restraint was put upon the delegates when their enthusiasm burst into long and noisy demonstrations, as it did particularly when the nominations were made. The agricultural plank of the platform, as expected, launched the big1 fight of the convention. A determined fight on the plank presented by the majority of the committee was made by the western farm leaders. This plank, formulated after two days and nights of labor in the committee, Ignored any mention ef the controverted equalization fee of the McNary-IIaugcbill, but pledged every assistance in the reorganization Of the farmers' marketing machinery. It proposed the creation of a farm board with power to set up farmer owned and controlled corporations to prevent nnd control surpluses through orderly distribution. Facing an admittedly losing fight the farm leaders battled on earnestly and at great length, submitting only when the majority of the delegates voted, approval of the committee re- THE n port A no less earnest but less time consuming battle, and also a losing one, was waged on the prohibition plank which advocated observance and vigorous enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment For the first time the radio made the proceedings of a national political convention available to people in all parts of the country. Other conventions have been broadcast, but never of broadbefore was there a hook-ucasting stations so distributed that anyone with a receiving set anywhere In the country could hear the entire proceedings. p on Monday PRESIDENT COOLIDGE his semiannual report on the business of government as It bas been hnndled during the last few years and outlined bis policies for the next six months before a gathering of the department heads In Memorial hall, Washington. "It has been my endeavor," he said, 'so to manage the national finances as to secure the greatest benefit to the people. 1 have rejoiced in keeping down the annunl budget. In reducing taxes, and paying off the national debt, because the Influence of such action Is felt In every home In the Innd." The people, be said, must furnish their own prosperity. It cannot be handed down to them by the government And when they 1inve It tbey must rise above It In spiritual outlook. "Prosperity," he said, "Is only an Instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshiped." Reviewing the condition f Industry and trade since 1021, he said: , "Stabilization and a feeling of security have been the primary factors In the great upward swing of American Industry and commerce since 1021." The tax question, he declared, has been approached from the angle of requiring no more from the people than necessary to opernte the government efficiently, "The revenue nets of 1021, 3021, 1020 and 1929," he said, "when fully The Republican national convention in session. operative will reduce taxes by apprex-imatel- y two billions of dollars a year as compared with what would have been collected if the act of 1018 had remained in force. "It is Inconceivable that in such a short space of time the government could cut its tax rates to such a'l extent Yet that has been done. Millions of individuals In the lower brack ets have been entirely stricken fro'm the tax rolls. Personal exemption for individuals and heads of families have been greatly Increased. "Preferential treatment has been given to earned Income. War taxes and nuisance taxes have been repealed. Business has been freed of many hampering and uneconomic restrictions. The prosperity of today can be attributed in a large measure to the lessening of the burden of federal taxes. "The reduction which has been made in the national debt since July 1, 1921, has contributed much to the ability of the government to lessen taxes. That reduction at the end of this fiscal year will amount to approximately $0,327,000,000. The total debt will then be $17,050,000,000. It Is paid. The total saving in Interest over all that period will amount approximately to $050,000,000. The reductions in the debt required by law for the same period total $3,200,000,000. "By the end of this fiscal year we will actually have applied to debt reduction $3,031,000,000 more than required by law. That represents what was saved from national revenue. These, together with refunding operations which converted securities bearing high rates of Interest Into securities lining lower rates, represent a 0 perpetual saving in Interest of a year. For the current fiscal year, which closes in a few weeks, the President said there would be a surplus In excess of four hundred million. Estimates are being prepared for 1929 and 193a On this he said: "Taking Into consideration the legislation enacted during the last session of congress, we find that for 1929 our receipts will be about $3,707,000,-00and our estimated expenditures $3,801,000,000. These estimates might seem to forecast a deficit We must not have a deficit "The cost of government In the United States, federal, state and municipal, In 1921 was $0,500,000,000. In 1925 It bad Increased to $11,124,000,'-000- . During that period the national government had reduced Its expenditure by two billions. "The necessity of keeping expenditures within receipts, the importance of continuing our policy, cannot be overemphasized. This primary limitation on estimates Is the first step toward the continuation of that policy In 1030. It means that there will be no latitude for expansion where expansion Is not made compulsory by new law or by conditions that leave no choice. In preparing your preliminary estimates for 1930, which you will submit to the budget bureau by July 13 next, you must keep this In mind." one-thir- d $274,-000,00- 0 V7 vv ELL, bard he ought not to be so to bent," was the only comment of Gov.

It is shown by figures compiled by the federal bureau of education. In 1913 the cost was $3S.31, and the present figure is THE $102.50. . Expenditures for public school buildings have almost doubled since 1920, with the peak being reached In 1923 when $433,000,000 was spent for new buildings. In 1920, however, the annual expenditure for public school buildings decreased $22,000,000. indicating, the bureau said, that construction had overtaken the shortage caused by the World war. The bureau attributed the Increase In school expenditures to the decreased purchasing power of the dollar and the general Improved school facilities. Baltic bitterness, resulting the unsettled dispute " between Lithuania and Poland, remains as the only danger to European peace, was the opinion expressed generally as the council of the League of Nations ended Its fiftieth session at Geneva.

SALT LAKE "What is so rare as a day in Jiyie" may have properly been the lament of the city dweller during the past few days, but to those engaged in agricultural pursuits, the weather has been all to their liking. Utah ranges and crops have been greatly benefited by the storm, according to J. Cecil Alter, meteorologist in charge of the local United States weather bureau. The rainfall for the storm as measured at the Salt Lake station was .35 of an inch. CEDAR CITY Crop conditions in Cedar and Parowan valleys are well above average for this time of the year. Although cold weather persisted unusually late this spring, the subsequent warm rains and excellent growing weather have compensated for the retarded season. The alfalfa crop promises Ho reach a new record and the outlook for a good alfalfa seed crop Is evident. Range conditions are above average, according to reports. The fruit crop, however, with the exception of berries, materially damaged by late frosts. u HEBER Utah's winter wheat crop is estimated by the bureau of agricultural economics of the United States department of agriculture at 3,164,000 bushels1 this year, as compared with 2.8SR.000 bushels last year.
