Salina SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, Lily STAR PRODUCTIONS Dies Id California Home Her many Salina friends were shocked and grieved when the message came that Mrs. Ernest Murphy had passed away in their California home. Death was caused by peritonitis following an abdominal operation. Three of the children and Mrs. Murphy had diphtheria a short time before, but had fully recovered, when this other trouble developed, necessitating the operation with its fatal result. The operation was performed Tuesday of last week and death came Sunday morning at five oclock. The funeral took place at 2 oclock Tuesday. Before her marriage, Mrs. Murphy was Miss Bertha Musig and grew up in Sanpete county, living near Sterling. She was a Salina resident for about ten years, living here all her married life and until two years ago, when the family moved to Ephraim, where Mr. Murphy plied his trade as a mason. Last June they moved to California and have lived in or near Los Angeles up to the present time. Deceased leaves a sorrowing husband, four little daughters and an infant son, besides father and mother, brothers and sisters . Her brother, Will Musig, went to California on receipt of the news of her death. She was about 39 years of age. During the years she lived in Salina, Mrs. Murphy made many warm friends. She had a sunny disposition and possessed outstanding talents as a reader which made her a favorite at local talent programs. She was active in church work and was greatly missed by the First Ward when she left town. The sympathy of the entire town goes out to the bereaved husband and little ones. , Improvement Completed s Improvements to the Salina have been completed, greatly facilitating the large shipments that are being made almost daily.

At first sight he mistakes it for a grove of trees, but on closer examination he observes paved streets, modern homes, and a thriving business section. Extending far to the west, the south, and the north, he sees vast stretches of well cultivated farming lands. He learns that the farmers of Salina own 35,000 acres of cultivated farming lands, which yield large crops of wheat, alfalfa, oats, and beets. "Best watered valley in the State, the farmers tell him. "Thats the reason beet growing is fast becoming our most important crop. Raised 20,000 tons here this year. You known the Gunnison Valley Sugar Factory is just ten miles north of here.

A meeting of the Salina Local Farm Bureau has been called for the evening of Monday the 19th, to organize this part of the county into i Beet Growers Association unit. All farmers who raise beets are urged tc rttend whether they belong to the Farm Bureau or not.

ATTENDS WOOL CONVENTION y, The Richfield High school will present their annual school play in Salina Social Hall, Friday, January 25th. The vehicle chosen this yeai is a vivacious comedy, entitled The Charm School. It is written by Alice Duer Miller and is a farce of the highest type.' It is in three acts, every one packed with fun and wit. A live wire young automobile salesman inherits a girls boarding school He hires four of his friends as faculty and proceeds to revolutionize the policies of the school. The faculty decides that charm is the one great essential in a girls education, so they give that subject a prominent place in the curriculum. Immediately complications arise and one amusing situ ation follows another to the last curtain. The play was very creditably performed at the appearance given Friday in Richfield and there is no doubt but that a treat is in store for all who attend. Our high school will return the compliment by going to Richfield later with the opera in course of preparation by N. S. H. S. students. i a in this city. The federal government and the county have expended $70,000 for paving on Main and Center, and the city $15,000 on the paving of the prinicpal business block from curb to curb. Besides, we invested $60,000 in sidewalk paving two years ago. This ornamental lighting system has been installed this year. Our park has been improved, and our water supply, which is obtained from cool mountain springs, will in all probability be increased within a year or two. Altogether, stranger, Salina is, in many respects, rural city. an ideal WHY IIE VOTED FOR GOOD ROADS grimy-lookin- g The county was to vote on a bond issue which would criss-cros- s it with hard roads. At a public meeting in Hal BMeriaitOD Aim Many people have a somewhat hazy and incorrect idea of the purpose of the kindergarten. The kindergarten has become so widely known and has come to take such an important place in the educational systems everywhere, that it behooves everyone to know something of its aims and the objectives it strives to attain. The following outline of kindergarten objectives was prepared by Miss Jones, superintendent of the kindergarten of the University of Utah, and forms the basis of instruction for the Salina kindergarten, taught by Miss Mary McCallum. Health Habits Pupil has clean body, nose, teeth, fingernails, ears, etc., brings a handkerchief; takes care of the handkerchief and uses it properly; washes hands before eating; washes hands after using the toilet; keeps fingers and materials away from mouth, nose and ears; covers mouth when sneezing , or coughing; handles his food as little as possible; brings no candy or gum to school; selects a suitable chair and sits in it correctly; holds body in erect position when standing.

The conference was held at the Johnson hotel and was preceded with an elaborate banquet some 125 guests were present. Henry Beal, who acted as chairman of the meeting stated the objects in meeting with railroad officials, outlining that an earlier passenger service was desired, better accomodations in coaches, the changing from the light steel to heavier and the extension of the branch line to the southern border of the state, thus affording tourist travelers to see the scenic parts of Utah without having to travel so far. After it had been explained the inconvenience caused by the present late passenger service all along the line, Mr. Wadleigh, for the rail stated that his company was ever too glad to make the concession and announced that immediate steps would be taken to make the change. It was announced at the meeting that the train on the Marysvale branch would leave Salt Lake at about 8:30, thus making the hour of departure more than two and a half hours ! offi--cia- ls, earlier. Other matters that were taken up and asked for were taken under advisement by the rail officials . NEW RESTAURANT OPENS G. C. Larson will open his new restaurant on Main street Sunday as will be seen by announcement in another column. The building has been thoroughly renovated and redecorated and presents a verw pleasing appearance. Mr. Larson is experienced in the restaurant any everyone is glad to see him open a place at this time. Salina has been in need of a restaurant for some time and there is no doubt but what Mr. Larsons establishment will fill the long felt want very creditably. GREAT HORSE SHOW PROGRAM The 1921 National Western Horse shew, held in connection with the National Western Stock show, Denver, January 19 to 26, 1921, promises to be the most brilliant event ever staged in the West. Some of the finest stab'c in Uru country will be represented in the various classes. Loula Lng Combs, r rontinent Kansas City horsewoman and owner of one of the beet stables in the United States, will be at Denver' with a carload of harness horses and a carload for the saddle class. Mrs. Edna Cudahy Brown of California has entered several head of hunters. The Waite Phillipps ranches of Littleton, Colo., will have nine head of hunters, jumpers, saddle and harness horses in the competition. Cavalry boys from Ft.

There will be six night shows beginning with Monday night, January 21st, and three matinees, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. . Possibly if that New York church that has introduced barefoot dancing would try out a little stud poker at prayer meeting it could still further i V increase its attendance. i f if |
