Show J S' . 'A ' - VO WV Volume 5 'Agricultural Prospects Bright For Year 1923 Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, for the past year from an agriculture standpoint, outlines the hardships and trials the farmers have passed through and gives high encouragement for the prospects for the coming year, in the follawing article just released: Twelve months ago most of the six million farmers of the United States were starting on the long hard climb out of the.valley of economic depression. They have not yet attained the hights which are bathed ii. the grateful sunshine of prosperity Some, indeed, have fallen by the way Others are still in the valley. Never theless, as we stop a bit and loot backward we can see that very con siderable ground has been gained bj the great majority, and we can ente; the New Year with renewed hope anc with that courage which comes fron the realization that we are really mal ing progress. A year ago, when speaking of the prospects for farming in 1922, I said that while there was no reason to expect boom times for the farmer in the near future, there wa3 promise of better times, both for the farmer and for those whose business is largo ly dependent upon him. The year has brought fulfillment of that promise. Speaking generally, times are better much better, than a year ago', both for agriculture and for industry. Crops have been good, on the whole. Prices of the major crops are mostly considerably' higher. While there has been a corresponding advance in the prices of the things the farmer must buy, the total sum which farmers will receive for the crops of this year is greater by a billion and a half dollars or more than that which they received for the crops of last year. This will certainly mean better times on the farm, and farm folkes will be able to ease up a little on the grinding economy they forced to practice the preceding year. The labor cost of producing the crops of 1922 was still further reduc ed. There were some substantial re ductions in freight rates. Much help ful legislation has been enacted and more will be this winter. Interest rates are lower and the credit strain has been eased. This has made it possible for many farmers who were rather heavily involved to refund their obligations and get themselves in condition to win through. Therf are still some dark spots. In some sections weather conditions were unfavorable and crops were short, and farmers in these sections are having a very hard time of it. Freight rates arei still too high, especially for those who must pay for a long haul to market. Taxes are high, but this is largely due to the increase in local taxes, over which farmers themselves must exercise control. No. 31 SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, D ECEMBER 29, 1922 .

The Wolverines, North Seviers hoopsters, met with two defeats during the two previous engagements with visitors and while they went against some strong talent, the locals were not in the least discouraged and are clamoring for more strong battles. On Thursday evening of last week the local boys met the West Side High school aggregation at the gymnasium and while outclassed to a degree, they went in for the count an a 20 to 11 score. The Wolverines held the reins for the first half and put up snappy basketball and when the gong sounded announcing the close of the first bout the locals led with a score of 6 to 5. When time was called for the finals the visitors whipped in and staged some sensational plays, the Wolverines. the In the West Side High boosted their score 15 points and the lead could not be vegetables, sugar, clothing, doth, It is worth fully five money, etc. hundred dollars, declared Mrs. C.

One of the star players for the visi tors was Gladden Hugentobler, a former member of North Sevier. Gladden put across 14 of the 20 points for the visitors.

With but one or two exceptions every class was e on anxiously waiting the outcome which was announced Tuesday. Competition became exceedingly keen Tuesday noon when the Juniors, with over 4,000 votes, and the Sophomores, with 5,000, began dropping fifty cent pieces in the English room. TheSophomores 'pujtnumbered the Juniors and won by two thousand votes. The total number of votes cast was over twenty thousand, the Sophomores securing seven thousand nine hundred; the Juniors, five thousand six hundred; the Junior High, three thousand; the Seniors, two thousand four hundred; and the Freshmen, one thousand two hundred. A sum of one hundred and ten dollars was raised by this contest, which will launch at The North least three issues of Star. Lula Hanson of Salina was elected as the prettiest girl in school and Faul Breinholt of Redmond as the most popular boy. Their photos will appear in the next issue of the North Star. The other candidates were: Helen Anderson, ot Salina, James Ellet of Emery. Juniors Wanda McDonald, Sidney Draper, both of Salina. Junior High; Faris Anderson of Redmond, Frederick Peterson of Salina. Seniors; Laurine Jensen, Edmond Jensen, both of Redmond, Freshmen. tip-to- Although the North Sevier basketball boys have been defeated in three practice games with the larger schools, they have not lost courage but feel that this experience has put them in excellent condition for the league games that will begin soon after school opens after the holidays. Coach Ernest Hansen declares that he is really glad that the hoopsters have not been victorious, and thjs is not sour grapes either, for he Bays these defeats have made the boys realize that victory is not easily won. These expensive games, (expensive from the standpoint of money and three defeats) will bring a rich compensation when the Wolverines become victors in the end. The new amusement hall was the gathering place of the dancers lase Thursday evening. The merrymakers came with the Christmas spirit and made the dance a joyful jubilee. The music kept in tune with the dancers and its stains rang out inviting the A. S.
