Show SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, VOL. 6. Sis Sugar flail J001S 5 Oil Han - r t r JL work of the boys and girls in the Modern Health Crusade has again won for Utah national honors. Word has just been received from New York that Utah is the only State in the west to capture two of the much are prized banners which awarded by the National Tuberculosis Association each year for exceptional - health work in the schools. The efforts of the Utah Pub?ic Health Association to accomplish this commenced three years ago when for the first time Utah entered what is known as the National Tournament. Last year pennants were awarded seventeen of Utahs schools who had competed with schools entered from every other state, but the crowning event ha3 been the winning of the National banners. When it is remembeied that there are only eleven of these trophies awarded each year in the entire United States, it should make every' boy and girl feel encouraged, because to capture these awards they must do almost perfect work. The daily records of health chores kept by the children for the year, have to be sent to New York, where they' are passed upon by a committee and carefully scrutinized. a first-clas- Ohl-wile- r, , Ml e, serv-ico- lor Dpi North Sevier football players will be contenders for honors at the coming sessions to be played in the division schedules which have now been arranged.

Salina Siricily Dry Those who were still clinging to the summer suit, b. v. ds and other wearing apparel that soothes and comforts during the hot summer months, were given a run for their lives last Wednesday afternoon. Overcoats, heavier suits, underwear that scratches anything that would combat the elements were hurried from their hiding places and subOld stituted for the light stuff. Man Winter was the cause of all this commotion. The sun, which started the day with the warmth of beautiful autumn time, held the fort until shortly after noon. At this time Mr. Winter, with icicles hanging from his chin, landed from the north and announced his arrival. Everyboody, most, knew the old man was here and his reception was not of the gentlest. In fact, there were many criticisms due to his coming so suddenly.

Off the Concrete M3I Wiu Nalioiml Honors With the entire plant tuned for the coming beet campaign the Gunnison Valley Sugar company announces its readiness to start slicing shortly after the first of October. Last week the wheeels that have been idle since the last campaign were turned over and the machinery and all were given a try out. We are looking forward to a splendid campaign, said Superintendent J. R. Howard yesterday. While the acreage planted to beets this year is about the same as last, the tonnage will be much' heavier and by this the campaign will last longer. Last year the beets averaged about nine tons to the acre in the districts adjacent to the factory. This season we expect the average will be close to 11 tons to the acre. Condition have been splendid and the growers will be well paid for their efforts. We have maintained a crew of engineers and workmen throughout the summer and today the plant is in better shape than ever before. In addition to overhauling every bit of machinery in the factory, we have installed a Dyer standard beet elevator as one of the new features. This features will greatly facilitate matters in handling the big tonnage we will handle during the coming campaign. New carbonater pumps have been installed, all the machinery has been thoroughly tested out, the paint brush has been used liberally and s altogether the plant is in condition. SEPTEMBER 28, 1923.

Breaking forth about two oclock a severe wind gushed back and forth and workmen, shoppers and all were taken abash at the sudden arrival of winter. During an hour and a half, while the wind was at its worst, the thermometer dropped twelve degrees. Just before the storm came the de- For 48 Boors forty-eighours during the the citizens of Salina were forced to assume the habits of a camel go without water, or rather curtail its use. In addition to this, the lighting and power systems supplied by the Telluride Power company, were out of commission during the daytime and those dependent on light and power during daylight were forced to resort to hand power and the lamp. All these were ocinconveniences, however, casioned by the improvement work that is being caried out on Main street, preparatory to laying the cement for the block east of the State highway. The main thoroughfare has been made to look as though an earthquake had visited that particular section and travel along there is next to impossible with the large forces of men and teams at work. It is necessary to remodel the water system and to the end of averting trouble later, iron water pipe is being substituted for the old wooden pipe. The system is being put in substantially and will be permanent. The system of poles used by the power company and the telephone company, is being removed to make way for the civic improvements. The poles are being removed from the center of the street to a point near the curb and while this operation is being carried out services from these two utilities is somewhat demoralizht week, gree mark at the weather station registered 68 and within ninety mined. utes it dropped to 52.

All work is being hurried along as fast as possible and an endeavor will be made to have all the improvements completed by the middle of the coming month. ' Jag Beet Grower PROGRAM Four years ago, after having farmed extensively in other parts of Utah and the great Snake River valley of Idaho, this Japanese boy, who by hard work and frugal habits, came to the realization of dreams had in his native country that of getting to the great Republic of America where there was a chance to work, save anti finally bo possessor of sfficient land to satisfy his craving to farm, not for someone else, but himself. Wholly unlike the customs of his native country where the density of urban population push farming sections on side hills and any other available stretch not occupied by the seething masses, the opportunities were as abundant and within seeming grasp in America as they were lacking in Japan. Such a vision of the vast expanse in this country available merely for the effort, set out to accomplish what seemed to him arid hundreds of thou sands of his countrymen, a task which at the time seemed almost in credible. . After a few years farming .under lease and by piece work in the states of California, Idaho and Utah, he had by hard work accumulated suffi cient means to make a first payment on the much coveted farm. Before locating, a thorough survey of vari ous beet growdng sections of the three states was made with a view of picking the best location in the intermountain . region for general farming. He had learned sugar beet culture in the States and wanted to locate where it could be followed A visit up to the best advantage. to Gunnison valley ended his travel Ki-mu- ra (Continued on page five) and ciyty, while much inconvenience has been occasioned the kicks registered are mild and few.

Seorup declares that he, as a rule, is not gifted with superstitious thought, neither does he believe in signs, but notwithstanding all this he was overtaken last Sunday with something evil that brought Mr. Seorup, achim hard luck. and children, his wife companied by motored to Koosharem last Sunday and spent the day visiting with friends. Everything went fine until the return trip. Soon after he started for Salina he was overtaken by a heavy rain, hail and wind storm. Then the fun began. First the top of the car was blown off, exposing the pasengers to rain and hail. Fortunately the hail stones were not large but Seorup declares they came down with sufficient force to hurt. Passing from the storm something caused a pucture more grief. This adjusted and after traveling a few miles another puncture caused more trouble. This perplexing job was finally completed and another start was made. The climax came with the third tire going flat but it was not fixed and a distance of ten miles was made on a flat tire. With all this Pete smiled. Miss Margaret Crane went to Salt Lake City Wednesday of this week. She will enter the University as a student for the coming winter. i |
