As B. C. Forbes points out in his magazine, the prosperity area of the United States is broadening. The point is that general good conditions in business, trade and industry are not confined to a compiaratively small industrial region, but include in a way and on a scale it never before included, the far South and the far West. This is really an extremely significant and momentous evolution, with social and political bearings which can not be ignored. The editor of Forbes was led to these reflections as a result of recent journeyings.in the West and South. He explains: Hundreds of thousands of families are migrating to California, Florida and other parts which were not so keenly favored in the old days of malaria, yellow fever and other sicknesses bred by mosquitoes. Modern science, modern sanitation, modern hygiene are conquering what formerly were regarded as the drawbacks and disadvantages of subtropical territories. As wealth increases and becomes more widely distributed a process going on rapidly the greater becomes the number pf individuals and families who can and do afford the pleasure and luxury of winterirg in sunny climes. A taste of such climates very often leads to families of means moving to them for permanent residence on retiring from active business or agricultural life. California and Florida, for example, are adding enormously to their population through this kind of inflow. Los Anbeen to as the city of retired farmers. has referred geles The health conditions of such states having been put on a satisfactory basis, and improved transportation facilities having been installed, there has been a distinct drift of industrial prise to the West and the South. Experience has proved that it is easier to attract workers to pleasant climates than to districts jwhereextreme heat and exreme cold alternate. Not only so, but the output per worker is greater when the climatic. and living conditions are favorable than when they are less favorable. Some industries, moreover, can be carried on most advantageously with a minimum of breakage and seconds, in a climate where the temperature does not fluctuate the whole range of the thermometer. Railway freights constitute so serious an item of cost in the production and distribution of many classes of heavy or delicate merchandise iron and glass, for instance that wideawake capitalists 4and corporations are adopting the policy of following the market and the raw material with their factories : they take the plant rather than the finished goods to the consuming centers. This trend is most vividly illustrated by the establishment of branch factories on the Pacific coast by many of Americas largest industrial companies, and by the building of hundreds of cotton-mill- s g states. in the d, u Eat at THE MAIN CAFE 141 West Center Try Our HOME COOKED DINNER 11:00 to 2:00 Short Orders at All Hours Open from 6 a. m. to 8 p. m.

Wheat growers in Utah may expect to get good prices next fall, if reports at hand are true indications of the general condition of the wheat crop of the United States. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, shows that while nearly as much winter wheat was planted for this as for last years crop, the condition of winter wheat a month ago was only 75.2 compared with 79.5 last December and 78.4 last average for the United States is reported as April. The 84.1. The forecast of production now is over 14,000,000 bushels less than the final estimate for 1922. In Utah, on the other hand, 4he condition figure for April 1 was 85 and since that time favorable weather for wheat has obtained in practically all of the state. Of course many things may happen between parts now and harvest to reduce the expected harvest in this state, but there is no harm in calling attention to the fact that the somewhat reduced crop of wheat in the United States as a whole probably will have a favorable effect on prices, and Utah wheat growers have the promise of sharing in these prices, a little better, perhaps, than' growers in most other states. i you are ready to build, call on us.

Mel in the past year has worked with Ogden and Smithfield. He fields his position well and is no slouch with the bat. W. A. Tiny Leonard is another valuable man to have on the club. Tiny is slated to hold down the centerfield position. In a pinch he can be used in the box, for he is a slabman of no mean ability.
