There are many communities which talk loudly about the need of good roads, the value of good roads, the use of good roads. They talk themselves into a bond issue, or a road tax, and build, one, two, ten miles of good roads. Too often those miles neither begin anywhere, nor end anywhere; do not connect with any good road at either end. Travelers wonder what they will do with their good roads now they have caught them ? There is no magic in a few miles of paved highways. Th farmer who must haul produce through mud to get to a paved highway, and over ruts and stones after leaving it to get to market, experiences no real economy. The economy and benefit of improved highways comes when they are improved for all their length. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. A regiment is no faster than its slowest soldier. A road, for economy of horse flesh or motor capacity is no more economical than its worst mile. FOR BRIDE Mrs. 0. G.

Saow Mop To Open Sept. 11 Once more the Snow College at Ephraim opens its doors to the high school graduates of Sanpete, Sevier, Emery, Wayne and Piute counties, but never under such favorable circumstances as those of this year. The recent change in the educational status of the Snow College, which discontinued all high school work, has resulted in increasing both the quantity and quality of the work given in the college department, so that the institution has been placed upon a thorough college basis, recognized in all its departments by the State Department of Education and the higher educational institutions of Prizes ai Fair North Sevier did herself proud at the Sevier county fair held at Richfield last week when she carried off many of the big prizes and in incidentally the merits of the immediate section to Salina was given a gcod boost. Alma Murphy captured cglit blue ribbons, T. A. Atkin won the sweepstakes for stallions, E. W. Crane captured a first and second for potatoes and Ernest Herbert carried off the honors for the dry farm exhibits. Alma Murphy, who exhibited a splendid array of garden truck in addition to winning the blue ribbons, was highly commended by the fair officials for his exhibit. On his fruit and vegetable display he won first honors and $4 in cash, and for sweet corn and field corn he was given Professor Harold R. Hagan, of the University of Utah, is undertaking this summer the beginning of an ecdlogical study of the state. Ecology is one of the- subjects in zoology and botany that is very new. being only a few years old. It is concerned with finding out the relationship between animals, including insects, and their environment of plant-lifwater, soil, and climatic conditions. Attention this summer is being concentrated upon a small box canyon near Freedom, Sanpete county, which has very limited vegetation and a comparatively small amount of animal life. The senon has been spent largely in collecting, to find out exactly what plants and animals live there. The collections were made also w to a view of starting a representative collection of animals and plants of Utah for the state university. specimens have been added to e, Sev-er- al he collection. The factors influencing the devel-- . opment and life of insects are so little known that such studies are apt to be of great help in learning what conditions produce an abundance of insects of an injurious or( beneficial sort. Mosquito elimination has been thoroughly discussed, yet the problem of controlling these pests is one of changing the environ-- 1 ment, so that the mosquitoes cannot breed and live in the place.

Some little difficulty wa3 encountered the fiist of the we. k when cessation on the work wa3 necessitated by the of cement. A goodly supply, however, has been received and the boys are digging in to make up for the lost time. If nothing unforseen happens there will be continuous work, now, until the job is completed and it i3 expected that the last of October will see the new concrete highway in use by the public. The proportioning plant and other machinery necessary for the construction of the highway has been advanced along the line and the main workings is now located at the bridge south of Redmond. With the advansing of the work on the highway it has been necessary to route travelers over the detour. The detour provided by the contractors, is routed east just north of the blacksmith shop at Redmond. The route carries the travelers past the depot and up the hill to the east. The road has been put in good shape and while the route is slightly longer than the direct road it carries one over a new territory and along the foothills. Superintendent Miller, who is in charge of the work for Gray & Murdock, announces that work will be started on the paving of he city block by the first of the week, if all works well. Extra machinery and supplies have been ordered for the city and all should be here by the first of the coming week. When all is in readiness for this work extra crews will be put on and the work rushed to completion in the quickest time possible. non-arriv- al The state fish and game commissioner announces the open season for quail shooting in Utah as follows: All of Weber county except only that territory embraced by the Mt.

The bag limit will be fifteen quail per day. The open season for quail in Washington and Kane counties will be fro n October 1 to December 31, both dates included, with a bag limit of fifteen birds per day. These open seasons and bag limits are prescribed under authority of section 26, chapter 36, Laws of Utah, 1923. no open season on neck pheasants. ring Utah county and the southern portion of Davis county will be closed to quail shooting for the reason that a number of imported Hungarian partridges, together with a large number of ring neck pheasants which were raised at the state game farm, have been liberated therein, and it is feared that if quail shooting were permitted in those localities the pheasants and partridges would suffer. It was, therefore, deemed not There will be Chinese or advisable not to open these localities for shooting this year.
