However, when they try to get others to join them they are asking their neighbors to take a step backward. when they they themselves should take a step forward and join the city. The property over which the controversy has arisen w'as at one time in the city according to some of our older citizens, but as it was largely farming land the owners secured enough acreage to take it out of the city and back into the connty. All went well until men began to move into that section with families. Then they learned that the city could not receive their children into the public school without special pay. Arrangements were made for the care of the children until about two years ago when the first trouble arose and since that time the local school board has been unable to eope successfully with the Alpine board. However, in this the local board members are not to blame; s they are not responsible for the schooling of the children out in the county, but they realized also that the parents of the children were not to blame for the mixup and wen willing to do the best they could. However, when the Alpine board failed so miserably to keep faith and to do its part the local board members washed their hands clean of the affairin- going over the records of the section id controversy we find that the land in question is largely owned by Provo citizens and they with their families are enjoying the 'advantages that are denied those who are less fortunate. We have also learned that a number of those who really live on their property outside of the city would really like to come into the city and enjoy the privileges of the town, but those owning the farms have not yet beyn converted. They, it is claimed would rlther stay out and would take other territory with them. After going into the matter quite carefully we are convinced that none of the property in the city limits will be taken ouf- The people who have not received many of th advantages they should feel that they have nothing to gain by trying to break away from the city and lose both police and fire protection and other city advantages. They are also beginning to realize that they would be better able to get what they need in the way of schools if the territory in controversy were all within the city limits. Right now is a good time for the farm owners of that section to show public spirit by getting together and asking to come back into the city rather than to try to pull down the town by trying to get others to pull away from it. They are all getting the benefits of city life and theretis no just reason why they should not be magnanimous enough to give others the same opportunities. Provo needs that property and the property owners need Provo. The people with families, however, heed to get their children in our public schools and the sooner they act the better it will be for them. Under their present status they have everything to lose and nothing to gain, while if they get into the city they have everything to gain and the small difference in taxes will scarcely be Heavier Trucks Spend More Gas Xo ' than the Maxwell uses at Peak Load - - - The lowest priced track in the And a truck;jmftd! you not a delivery wagon. built for trucking..

INCREASING SCARCITY OF LABOR In a country rich in food products, with fine climatic conditions, it is a pity that millions of dollars of food products shall be lost because we have not the labor to save and market them. Increasing labor scarcity this fall in the western states has been a great menace to prosperous sections and helps keep up the high cost of living by depriving the big city markets of needed supplies. From Colorado to Oregon and from Utah to Montana and all over California are thousands of tons of fruit and potatoes not picked for lack of labor, unpacked for lack of boxes and people to paek the fruit. The lack of labor and boxes and transportation is causing losses running into the millions at a time when every pound of farm produce is needed by the world as it was never needed before. The government must assure better supplies of farm labor and better distribution of the same or it will be impossible for farmers to harvest increased'aereage which they will put out. Proper labor supply and proper distribution of the same is one problem that the government has not yet taken up seriously and it should have attention from the farm production standpoint. o- -- n WRITE THEM A LINE At the Commercial club luncheon Wednesday Lieutenant A. W. Morrison gave the business men of Provo some real sound advice when he told them to remember some of the boys that were not altogether popular when they were at home and let them feel that they are not entirely forgotten. We have a great many boys in the cantonments that would be pleased to receive just a card, if nothing else, as a reminder that the people at home have missed them- They will feel that they are still a part of us and will want to come back. They will be encouraged to do bigger things and will work with more zeal than they otherwise would. Its a fine feeling that comes over one when he is away from home and finds that those he looked upon as the big men of his city have given him enough thought to drop him a cheery word 16-milfc- loading space.
