Provo district has a total valution of $9,000,000 devoted to education; if you should drop the, Brigham Young university from Provo the value of this county would decrease $3,000,000. Such were the statements of Dean Frederick Bolton of the University of Chicagq, in his address to the members of the Kiwanis ,club, during their luncheon at the Hotel Roberts yesterday. "The American flag has no better defenders in the nation than the school teachers of this country, they are ja loyal group, you should be propd that such a noble citizenry are the teachers of our children. T have traveled a great deal, yet I hive never visited a city where I have enjoyed myself more and had a more interesting time than while I havd been in Provo. President Walter Adams introduced Frank Gardener as chairman of the meeting. Kiwanian Alex Hedquist was called upon to give a report of his trip to tie national convention of Kiwa-nianheld in Atlanta, Georgia, two weeks ago. "The greatest problem that confronted the conversation' was the resolution to stand by the government of the Unitd States in the enforcement of the prohibition law, It is an undeclared Mr. Hedquist. believable fact that one concern admitted to investigaters that it has produced 50 per cent more flasks in the last year than it had ever turned out before. Fellow Kiwanians, it is up JO you and to me to seo to It that we do our share in upholding and the laws of this land. sustaining MiK Hedquist stated that the convention hull had been built to accommodate 1800 Kiwanians, and that it wa completely filled and there were more than 1800 standing outside during the convention. Out of the eleven Kiwanis clubs in Utah there were! ten of them represented at this convention. If was a great gathering of many great people, and I was very proud to think that we, as members, had the privilege of associating ourselves with such men as were assembled there, said Mr. Hedquist. Marie Hedquist Homer sang in splendid voice Old Glory, composed by Dr. George H. Brimhall. The guests at todays luncheon were Dean Bolton of the university of Chicago, Professor R. J.

Those, however,! who remained were highly entertained by Knudo Rockne, noted football coach of Notre Dame university, Indiana, who told his audience many interesting things concerning the great game. Football character, develops courage, resourcefulness, teaches a man to play the game of life fairly and squarely not to be an alibi but a good loser. It helps the player to weigh values and to analyze a situation and maintain a Such mental poise under fire. were the values placed on the once condemned game by one of the nations foremost mentors.

PONDERING PISCATORIAL PARANOIA 'Ci By FRANK BECKER Whole cities, I have heard say, have been abandoned in the past in the face of approaching armies. Sometimes a bad fever or a pestilence lays its blight upon large metropolitan centers and reduced them to a whisper. I even remember reading somewhere that a hail of fire and ashes descended upon Pompeii and buried men, women and book agents, including porcelain baths with hot and cold water. The veriest reader of news knows that whole districts are swept by tidal waves and hurricanes that leave nothing but a waste of bed slats and twisted barbed wire. But of all the exodes that have come to my attention, either by ear or book, this one in Provo today has got em all beaten to a frazzle. This town lays stark, inanimate and naked of everything save its streets, city halls, a few shrubs and pool players. The water plugs still stand defiant and the fountain waves feebly, but outside of that everybody else has &one fishin. For the past two weeks there have been certain goings on in this city. Two fishing nuts, approaching from opposite directions, would stop, when face to face,' without any reason for doing so. One would take off his hat and scratch his head, and the other would cast a speculative eye at the weather although a dozen storms might come between the time and today. ? Well, you goin fishin? says one,, grinning like an expiring ape. Sure, where you I dunno. smile. a with other the Oh, or Provo says protruberanl Strawberry maybe, There aint nothin doin on Strawberry till July 1, protests the other. river. Well, theres a crick or two up there where you can fish now and you can pull em out that long, with large-size- d gestures indicative of distance, length and duration. been These things have going on I say, with increasing frequency, until it became a menace to traffic. Last night it approached ai crisis. The streets filled with equipages loaded down with long poles that threatened calamity at the crossings. Rubber boots flapped in the breeze and tent lines scratched the concrete. The hegira continued through the night. As with one mind, the entire population got up out. It was the eponing of the trout season in Utah and in this county, where the moved and best fishing is, the blight struck with devastating effect. The Armenian trek out of Syria or the Israelites out of the Bronx on Sunday were slow parades in comparison. The city lies today, solitary, silent and alone. If anyone dies on the postoffice steps now or tom'orrqw, its l go-in- a cinch he wont be found until Monday. , .j ADDRESSES Schenk Woolman, noted lecturer and educator of New England, Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Horace G. Merrill, 33 East Second South, when a reception is to be held for the distinguished visitor. Women of this state and other states who are gathered here for the B. Y. U. summer school will be guests at this occasion. Mrs. Woolman Was national chairman of the committee during the war that assisted the government in securing textiles for emergency use overseas. She is an authority on texand particularly tile manufacture with womens connection with this work. She is delivering a series of lectures here which is being attended not only by the pupils of the summer school but the citizens of Provo apd 'Utah county as well. Miss Elliott of the B. Y. U. faculty, Mrs. Merrill, Mrs. Woolman, Mrs. F. S.j Harris, wife of the president of of the university and presidents women's clubs will be in the receiving line. ay Walton Peteet, director of Cooperative Marketing of the American Farm Bureau Federation, made an address before a large and interested audience early this week in College hall. His subject was along commodity lines of marketing in connection with farm bureau work. He emphasized the fact that the farmers of Utah should see, not the nqed of more production, but the necessity of organised means of marketing. He urged them to put out only standardized packages uniform jail over the county or state. He siid that only fruft of a certain should be used in tfie package. Fancy products will always bripg a fancy jrice, he told jthe growers. He urged the best business regulations in production and said that can grow- only through ers expect to be successful. He, laid stress on the fact that competent business men should be placed in charge of their associations. He explained the loyal support and effort that the American Farm Bureau his given this new Held of activity and detailed the manrfier in which the associations can be worked out satisfactorily to the producers and-t- o the con- ; sumers. Mr. Peteet and his associates from the State Farm bureau and extension division of the U. A. C., Visited Manti and Richfield on Wednesday, Nephi and Payson on Thursday and will conclude the program for the State of Utah at Ogden tonight. His address es are not only educational to 'the farmers of the county and state, but encouraging and hopeful to all those interested in community uplift- - and t progress. ELKS PAY HOMAGE TO NATIONS EMBLEM By AN The 146th anniversary of birth of the American flag has come and gone; and no ope in Provo cqn truthfully say it was not well ob- ti served. Every detail of the program as arranged by the Benevolent and Protective Order of ipks was carried out fn a way, that made the entire proceedings a fitting, impressive and inspiring demonstration. The parade was all that had been promised; and occurring at that time o day when the sun is just setting and painting these purple Utah skies in crimson and yellow and gold, when the heat pf the day is gone and the cool mountain breezes have comJ, it was a fresh thrilling spectacle tb see Old Glory carried aloft and pr tected on either sidq by those sta wart mounted men, the, members oif Battery C. The music of the band seened i little sweeter ind a little clearer as lu onward., they, iMtirched the head of that long andlayed line of Elks, dressed in white and trimmed with the royal purple; those visitors front Tintic lodge No. 711 of Eureka. I; was a great expression of fraterna good will which the Eureka lodge made and the people of Provo gen erally as well as the Provo Elks wil! not forget. Salt Lake lodge, in their outing uniforms with their canes and overseas caps, ajded a distinctive charm and also tended to further strength- en the good will already existing1 between Salt Lake arid Provo. , The float prepared by the Provo Elks ladies was a beautiful surprise. It represented the birth of the flag with GeorgeWashington, Betsy Ross and the original thirteen states exemplified, Jhose who prepared it are, to be commended. Last, but not least, come the Provo Elks. They were all we have become accustomed to from them a long line of good marchers, dressed in their best, and carrying their flags and canes. At the Elks ritualistic exercises the program was well carried out un-- f der the capable direction of Exalted) I i f , ELK Ruler Whipple. .The Tabernacle chorus, directed by Professor Boshard, added a great strength to the and their four choral numbers- - were greatly enjoyed and enthusiastically applauded by the vast audience. Professor T. Earl Pardoes reading of The Elks Tribute to the Flag was a masterly effort. Comment from every one was to the effect that it was the best ever heard in Provo. The professor seemed at his best and to be dealing with a subject near to his heart. ; Major J. A. Howell, a member of Ogden lodge, in his patriotic aldress held the audience in wrapped atteh-tio- n for more than an hour, end at times aroused it to bursts of fervor. When he paid his tribute tc the Grand Army of the Republic and mentioned the two sole survivrirs '"of that vast throng now living in Provo, and who had front seats on the platform, thq audience burst into a entire-proceedin- Ituse gs -- 1 Superintendent H. A. Dixon of the public schools, in an - appropriate speech introduced Faun Bunnell, Alice McCoard and Beth Mangum, winners of the Elks gold medals, from the eighth, seventh and sixth grades, for the best essays on the What the American Flag subject: Means to Me. Beth Mangum also was presented, for the Maeser school, the Elks, honor flag, for the greatest number of excellent essays. Beth accepted the flag and for the school thanked the Elks for the flag and the honor. , All in all, it is only truth to say. Flag day in Provo was fittingly and impressively celebrated. The festivities closed with balls In' the Mozart and Armory halls, the proceeds from which go ' to the Elks charity fund. s c , Have Natural Food Supply. In the plantless depths of the ocean the denizens largely depend for their food supply upon the ceaseless rain of dead animalcules which sink, through the miles of dark, cold water. FRUIT BASKET COMPANY MACHINERY! IS ON WAY The shortage of containers to handle the fruits of Utah county Is drawing attention to the activities of the Utah Package company, which is clearing its site on University avenue for the factory that expects to be making boxes and baskets by the first of August. The company is being backed by the fruit growers, who are becoming stockholders on the idea of lessening the, cost of their fruit containers bV making them on the ground from fhe lodge pole pine and mountain aspen that are to be procured ffom- the water sheds of this vicinity. The veneer machine is how on the way from Maryland, said General Manager George H. Eichnor, who for several years ,has been in the fruit basket manufacturing line in that state. Mr. Eichnor is a former student of the B. Y. university, and has lately been a student of Utah fruit conditions. This piachine will make the sides for all kinds of fruit baskets,- - including peach, apple and ?trawberry baskets, as well as the sides for crates. I am going to Benton Harbor, Mich., in the next two weeks to test out some of the new creations of the Saranac Machinery company for the basket machines. They include several ipachines that are necessary for tthe assembling of the containers after the material has been cut, including the hoop coiling machines, handling machines and cover makers. Our factory space gives us 60 feet by 60, by we have a quarter of a block most of which will be used as storage room for material and finished products In addition to a similar warehouse on the Provo bench. We , i i I will employ between thirty and forty operatives when ' in action. For this first season we will be chiefly concerned with apple containers, because we cannot get our machinery installed to handle the peach crop. Next .season we will start with the strawberries and be in readiness to go through the whole season for; all kinds of fruitq with all 'kinds of baskets, crates and boxes. They call them berry cups here, but in Maryland We call them baskets, large or . ' pmall., . wish I could recall the exact of H. O. Jackson, who Is establishing his National Pump company here from Denver, when he addressed the delegates of the U. C. T. convention at the Hotel Roberts the other He said night, said Mr. Eichnor. In effect that the Intermountain Country and in fact the whole empire west of the Rocky mountains is becoming economically' divorced from fhe east or economically independent. There-i- s no reason why we shbuld pay first-clafreight on fruit containers from other states when we dap. make them here and save the difference. , This first ,seasori we will have to ship In guin logs from the south to cut our veneers. Next season we will bring Utah logs to our machines and make Just as gbod a basket or crate or box. Eventually, and not so far distant, we will be able to supply not only Utah county, but Utah state and the intermountain country. j The Utah Package company is now carrying on a campaign to interest the fruit growers in the but is already financed toenterprise, carry on the preliminary costs of machinery, installation. tI ss 1 9 t t j Y |
