Show Watching the No. 27. D Local Seal Drive Jack-in-the-B- ox Mnloiis 1; ly One of the most successful campaigns for the Gunnison Valley Sugar company, operating the big plant at Centerfield, came to a close yesterday morning when the last bag of sugar was piled in the big warehouse. Slicing was finished last Saturday night. A crew of men are now' at work washing up and getting the factory in shape for next seasons activities. The campaign just closing lasted fifty days and during that period some 5000 tons more than last year went through the mill and a increase in the finished product is also shown. This is the fifth year for the factory operations in Gunnison Valley and the results are highly encouraging both to the operators and the beet growers. It is regrettable, however, that the campaign was not extended for at least six weeks more. Should this condition prevail the amount of money distributed throughout the valley would have been doubled and those fortunate eonugh to have a big acreage could have smiled when he met the tax collector. Approximately $200,-00- 0 has been distributed among the beet growisfs of the valley. This amount will be greatly augmented by future payments on the participating contracts now in force between the company and the growers. The present pirce of sugar, coupled with the demand of the product, indicates a bright future for the sugar industry. The tonnage handled at the factory this fall showed a decided increase per acre. The weather conditions during the planting, growing and harvesting periods, were ideal and tended largely in bringing the high results for the growers and the factory operators. With a splendid organization of workmen, which included some 130 operators and office men, the big factory was kept going steadily and only on a very few occasions was there an cessation. These, however, were minor affairs and during the fifty-da- y run no great loss of time was experienced. To celebrate the closing and the successful campaign some forty of the regular forces gathered at the Gunnison hotel and enjoyed a banquet. Gunnison Valley News. corres1-pondin- g Governor Mabey, in keeping with the policies of the Utah Public Health association and the Nation Tuberculosis association, has issed the following proclamation: Prevention of disease and preservation of the health of its people is a prime essential to the progress, prosperity and happiness of the state. While the death rate in the United States from tuberculosis has been greatly reduced through the intensive educational campaign conducted by the National Tuberculosis Association and its state organization, yet this disease is reaping a needless toll of lives annually, and in the state of Utah of nearly two hundred, besides causing an economic loss of millions of dollars and endless suffering. This yearly destruction of life may be lessened and ultimately prevented through continued education along lines of prevention. The Utah Public Health Associawith the Nationtion, in al Tuberculosis Association, is conducting a vigorous campaign of education for the prevention of tuberculosis and promotion of general public health in the state, and is deserving of continued support by the people. This association is dependent entirely upon the annual sale of Christmas Seals for funds to carry on its work. It should be remembered that the funds raised are not spent in the treatment or care of persons afflicted with tuberculosis. That is a function of the state and counties. The great work of the Association is prevention, and through the dissemination of knowledge, accomplish the ultimate eradiction of the disease. Believing that this undertaking merits the attention of the people of Utah Now, Therefore, I, Charles R. Mabey, Governor of the State of Utah, do hereby designate Sunday, December 9th, 1923, as, TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY in the State of Utah, and I call upon the churches to observe this day in their pulpits; and urge the people of this great State upon that occasion to give serious thought to the terrible destruction of life wrought yearly by tuberculosis. I further express the hope that these thoughts will prompt the people to give their unstinted support to the Utah Public Health Association in its worthy efforts to stamp out tuberculosis and to promote the public health by making liberal purchases of Christmas Seals. The day is coming when people of the state of Utah can honestly say to the tourist, When you think of Roadwork is roads, think of Utah. constantly being done and under the comprehensive plan of the state and federal engineers, Utah will shortly have a network of splendid highways that will make it a pleasure to travel. The advantage to residents of the state is incalcuable and with the added advantage of attracting tourists and other traffic, the value is very great indeed. Utah The monthly magazine, Highways, a publication devoted to highways in the sta te, gives the following information regarding two projects particularly interesting to Salina: Redmond-Sanpe- e County line; 2.13 miles gravel surf ace. This is an important road running north from the end of the concrete pavement now under constructing in Redmond to the Sanpete county line.

Complete returns from the canvasses are yet not in, but enough memberships have been sold to assure the holding of the Charter. A list of members will be published in the next issue of The Sun. Fir Celstatii a Everything is in readiness for a campaign for selling Christmas Seals in Salina. Wednesday has been set as the day for the drive and all arrangements have been made to dispose of the whole amount on that day. A booth will be set up in the drug store and taggers will catch the people on the streets. It is hoped that through these means and through the schools the seals can be sold without a house to house canvass. The committee of which Mrs. C. E. West is chairman, held a meeting in the school Wednesday afternoon and made all plans necessary for a comprehensive drive. Committees were appointed as follows: coijimittee to canvass the business houses. Miss Johnstone and M. Tuve; chairman high school drive, C. Ray Evans; chairman grade school drive, M. I.

Geo. W. Martin, DD., of Manti, died last Saturday at the home of her son, Theodore Martin, at Richfield. Mrs. Martin had gone to Richfield the Saturday preceding for a weeks visit, and though not in thoroughly good health, she was seemingly improving and previous to Friday night had given no evidence of any serious illness. Friday evening, however, she retired about nine oclock, as usual, and at about ten oclock Mrs. Martin suffered a stroke of apoplexy, from which she did not recover full consciousness. The end came Saturday evening, a blessed relief from the twenty-thre- e hours of suffering. The body was taken to Manti Monday of this week, when impressive funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian chapel, where Mrs. Martin had served as an active Dr. member for forty-fiv- e years. Wm. M. Paden, superintendent of the Presbyterian mission work in Utah, presided and was assisted by Rev. Geo. Wallace of Richfield, and Rev. Arthur Boand of Mt. Pleasant. A quartet of teachers from the Wasatch academy, Mt. Pleasant, furnished appropriate music. Mrs. Martin was born in Lancaster, Ohio, February 16, 1848. In July of 1879 she married Rev. Geo. W. Martin, who had just graduated from Union Theological Seminary in New York City, and was under commission of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missionaries for work in Utah. In September of that year she went with her husband to Manti, where she had lived a most active life for forty-fiv- e years, taking a leading part in religious, social and civic affairs. Mrs. Martin is survived by two sisters, Mrs. George Fullterton of Springfield, Ohio, and Miss Jennie Work of Manti; two daughters, Mrs. Richard W. Jones of Preston, Idaho, and Miss Winifred Fitzhugh Martin, teacher of the Roosevelt Junior high school of Salt Lake, and one son, Theodore D. Martin, principal of the Richfield high school.

It is hoped that it be possible to hold the celebration on the 22nd of this month, but as all the fixtures for the street light have not yet arrived, there is no certainty that everything will be in readiness at that date. Mayor Scorup communicated with headquarters at Salt Lake and was informed that the missing fixtures were expected to arrive in Salt Lake the 15th. If they do, there is a possibility that the lights may be installed by the 22nd. If not the barbecue may be held on Christmas Eve. Everything for the lights is now here except the transformer and the Novaloux heads, or the tops of the poles. At the Council meeting Saturday night, elaborate plans were made for the occasion. It was decided to have a band on the sconce to provide entertainment during the afternoon and music for the dance to be held on the pavement in the evening. In discussing the eats it wa3 thought that two steers would be barbecued and hot roll and. coffee served with the beef. Huge bone-firewill be maintained on the vacant lots just off Main street to the south, providing warmth and adding w-i- es materially to the festivity of the scene. With such a setting a wonderfully good time is assured all who are fortunate enough to be able to be present at Salinas big celebra- tion, and it is hoped that it will be possible to have the big time at least no later than Christmas Eve. The retiring Council want to make this a celebration worthy of the town and are doing all in their power to make it so. Committees to look after all details were appointed Saturday night. They are as follows: General Chairman and Music Committee, J. C. Jensen. Chairman Barbecue Commitee, D. G. Burgess. Chairman Bandstand Committee, John R. Ewles.
