The room was crowded with interested listeners, assembled to assist in celebrating this great occasion. The program opened with a song, Land of our Fathers, by the High School chorus. Following an invocation by Principal C. Ray Evans, the chorus sang again, rendering an anMr. them, Praise ye the Father. of and the chorus members Wright deserve much praise for their singing, which is really splendid.

It is reproduced at the close of this article for the benefit of those unable to be present Monday afternoon. The High school girls quartette gave a very fine rendition of the song Wrap me in the Dear Old Flag, The chairman introduced" Angus McDonald of the Legion, who gave an account of personal experiences as a member of the A. E. F. Mr. McDonald was a member of the supply corps in a machine gun company and related some episodes in the drives at Chateau Thierry, St. Mehiel, and the Argonne. The speaker had a very pleasing manner on the platform and told his story in a simple, yet comprehensive way that made it a real pleasure to hear. Following this, Miss Van Johnstone gave a reading, Little Flor-ettand Miss Stella Bates played a medley or patriotic airs, both numDr. bers being very well received. M. A. Freece was then introduced and after a short talk in regard to peace time activities of the Red Cross society, presented Red Cross certificates earned through partici- pation in classes held last summer or for special work. The list of those certificates is given else- where in this issue. The audience united in giving the pledge to the flag and remained standing to sing the national anthem, A few words of prayer by Mr. Bjork- man brought to a close a splendid program and all repaired to their homes with a better conception of meaning of Amistice Day and filled with thankfulness that our na- tion is enjoying the blessing of peace, NOVEMBER 16, 1923. Along the Concrete YOKPeR ing to the neutral nations. They were most solemnly warned of their unwonted actions, but continued in their inhuman warfare until all bounds of restraint and forebearance was broken between them and the larger of its neutrals. Immediately a declaration of war followed and the President of the United States called for volunteers. IIow promptly this call was met we all know, until 4,999,000 men were either in France or at training camps in this country. Within one year our country had 2,990,000 men in France all eager and anxious to assist their brothers in arms in saving the civilization of the world from annihilation. Soon the armies of the aggressors began to realize some unexpected thing which they had not figured on had occurred, and the realization of this caused their military and political leaders to look for a way out in order to save their armies from complete destruction or capture on the field of battle. During all this time, while they were maneuvering for peace, their armies were being drawn back toward their own country with very heavy losses in both men and munitions and to save themselves fromutter collapse they were forced to agree to meet with the commanders of the armies battling for the preservatino of liberty and civiliza-tinto discuss terms of cessation of fighting. This meeting took place near the headquarters of the commanders of the allied armies and in the eleventh month on the eleventh ItaMfln Tie o, g At the first news which was flashed around the world to every country, city, town and hamlet, the people were dazed for they had made up their minds that the war would be prolonged for years and they were not prepared for such news, but when the realization awakened with-th- e in them as the wonderful things this news conveyed, great joy was felt and such rejoicing as they gave vent to was unparalelled in history and prayers and thanksgivings were dered to an all loving God. Then can we not realize why we celebrate this day and keep it clearly in our memory, marking an epoch in history as it does, of the close of the most destructive war in the history 0f the ages.

The Utah Agricultural college issues the following statement in regard to certification of wheat. Out of approximately 150 applications made by the grain growers of Utah to have wheat fields certified, only about seventy fulfilled the necessary requirements anil passed certification tests this year according to George Stewart, professor of Agronomy at the Utah Agricultural College who is engaged in certification work in cooperation with the state department of Agriculture. Besides the fact that the requirements have been made more rigid than they were last year, Professor Stewart gives two outstanding reasons why such a large percentage of the applications were turned down. First, fields were not free from other varieties of wheat and were weedy. Second, many fields were infected with loose smut. Wheat to be certified must be 99.5 per cent pure and must not contain to exceed of one per cent of loose smut. The kernels must be plump and of good quality. In spite of the fact that the present rules are almost twice as strict as they were last year, about 20,000 bushels of wheat have been certified, which indicates that the growing of certified wheat is on the increase. One outstanding feature of the present crop of certified wheat is the shift of the producing sections. Last season about 65 per cent of the certified wheat was raised in Utah county while this year the aertified fields are fairly evenly distributed in eleven counties. The counties listed this year as certified wheat producers are: Cache, Box Elder, Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, Millard, Sevier, San Pete, Morgan and Tooele. Swedish Select oats and Trebi barley are also being certified this year. The following stops are included in the certification process: 1. Applications filed through the county agent. 2. Field inspection just before the grain is harvested. 3. Harvesting and threshing under the supervision of the county agent or agricultural inspector. 4. Taking of samples from every tenth sack. 5. Hand analysis of these samples by an expert at the Utah Agriculturone-tent- Salina Following the meeting of the second ward Relief Society Monday evening, Dr. M.'A. Freece, as president of the Salina chapter of the Red Cross society met with representatives from the two relief societies, the Literary society the Mutuals, and the Primaries and discussed plans for canvassing the town for the annual roll call, which must be completed before the end of November. The town was divided into eight sections and one lady appointed chairman for each division. She was asked to call upon others to help her and to make a canvass of her section to obtain annual memberships in the society. If the required number of memberships can be obtained, the local charter will be kept and the retained in readiness for any emergency which may occur. The ladies at the head of the work in each division as follows: North side, Mrs. Thos. Crane, Miss A. S. Crane, Mrs. Oscar Anderson, Mrs. G. M.

Paving Now In Use Barbecue Is Postponed The barbecue planned for Thanksgiving Day has been postponed as the lighting system will not be in place at that time, the poles having been delayed in shipping. The council has not decided just when the planned jollification will take place, but it is thought that it may be held on December 22nd the Saturday preceding Christmas. The original plan of having a barbecue and dance will probably be adhered to. People of Salina are realizing this week that they have a paved main street, the cement being used for the Teams and first time Wednesday. scrapers were at work the first part of the week cleaning off the paving and it is now in use all the way east and west.
