SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1924 Lioos NO. 28 Me Members of the Salina Lions club, together with some lady tamers, numbering about forty, braved the raging snowstorms of last Saturday evening and motored to Ephraim to attend the festivities attendant upon the presentation of the Intel national charter to the newly organized club of the college city. Notwithstanding the fact that a fearful storm was raging, the Salina Lions report a dandy time and declare the function to be a success from every standpoint. The Salina Lions, too, made a and made several steps upward for popularity. The response by President Leo Merrill and the selections by the Salina Lions club quartet, won great favor and incidentally the club copped a valuable ten-strik- e, prize. Dr. Milton H. Knudsen of the Snow College, acted as toastmaster and won the plaudits of the big assemblage for his clever stunts. Dr. M. M. Npilson, international director for the 28th district presented the charter. The festivities were opened with an elaborate banquet at the college gymnasium. This affair lasted for nearly two hours and following a dancing party was held at the Social hall. Those attending from Salina were Dr. C. Leo Merrill, A. J. Lewis, Rex Barnard, J. C. Jensen, T. G. Humprey, Messis and Mesdames A. C. Prows, R. B. Evans, Charles Nielson, Delbert Burgess, June Webb, E. C. Wright, G. M. Wright, Morrill Robins, Eldon Petty, A. C. Willardson, M. I. Oveson, G. M.

Mabey through a proclamation issued by him. The governor declares that the sale of Christmas Seals has done much to v. ipe out the white plague and to interest people in better health.

As a result of these activities it seems probable that at least five additional beet sugar factories will be in operation next saseon in the United States. One of the most important of the pending developments is the merger of the Minnesota Sugar company, Northern Sugar company and Red River Sugar company with the American Beet Sugar company which involves the completion ' of . the Red River companys plant at East Grand Forks, Minnesota, in time for operation next season and the later erection of several new factories in Minnesota and the Dakotas. It has practically been settled, that the Holly Sugar corporation will establish a factory at Sidney, Montana, which is in the Yellowstone valley close to the North Dakota line and within easy shipping distance of the Williston irrigation project which is expected to provide an important part of the beet supply of the new plant. Montana is likely to have at least one other new factory as negotiations are well advanced for the removal of one of the idle plants from the state of Washington to the Milk River valley. Either Malta of Glasgow is likely to be selected as the site for the new factory. Over 5,000 acres of beets for next season have been pledged by farmers in the Milk River district. Another factory that is expected to get back into operation during the coming season is that of the Sacramento Valley Sugar company at Hamilton City, California. Lack of a sufficient beet supply has kept this plant closed since 1918, but it is now stated that an ample acreage of beets has been pledged for next year and that the factory will be in operation during the season of 1925-2A new factory that is slated for construction during the coming year is that of the Central Oregon .Sugar company at Prineville, Oregon. A number of other projects for the location of factories at new points are now under consideration but the above are regarded as the most definite and certain of the plans now under way. with-- a bbang yesterday and the indication are that the drive this year will go over the top with case.

The mill days in operated a total of forty-nin- e 1924 crop of sugar beets slicing the and incidentally a new; record for slicing was established, the average being 811 tons per day. The average slice for the campaign just closed showsfcn increase of 86 tons per day. While the sugar beet crop was considerable below normal, due to the extreme long drouth, the local factory has the distinction of being the only sugar factory in the state of Utah that reports an increase in tonnage sliced and sugar produced over 1923. Some 4000 tons more were handled at the Centerfield plant this season than last and the sugar production shows a proportionate increase. The payment for the November beet deliveries reached the growers last Friday and the total amount sent out was aprpoximately $78,000. This, together with the $150,000 distributed for the October deliveries, brings the grand total for the payments of beets alone up to $228,000. In addition to this the company has disbursed approximately $50,000 in wages and in handling the beets, and altogether some $278,000 has been spent with the growers and wage earners about the factory and fields. The beet growers, it must be remembered, will share in subsequent payments for the ft24 crop. These payments will come from ucation.

Started at Salina sugar industry in the United States, was started lows: The people of Utah have entered upon another state-wid- e campaign which will bring before them the importance of health conservation, with reference to the subject of 1 articular tuberculosis prevention. The reappearance of the Christmas seals for the seventeenth season is a l minder of the wonderful progress which has been made in our state and in the nation in decreasing the rav-- : ges of tuberculosis and also of the problem which still confronts us. If there is any one thing more than another that has brought about this marked decline it is the campaign of education that is carried on from ear to year to teach people that the disease in curable and preventable. Formerly it was believed that ption was incurable and little effort was put forth to prevent it. The National Tuberculosis association some seventeen years ago put ut a Christmas seal to be sold at a penny apiece to interest the public in effort to stamp a great Nation-wid- e ut tuberculosis. This little penny Christmas seal stands today as the hampion of health and the enemy of the great white plague. It has been the means of interesting more people in the cause of tubrculosis prevention and good health than any other one thing. Financial returns from the annual seal sales have not been large, but the results have been tremendous and exceeding the fondest who conceived this of those hopes plendid means of financing the war-tar-e against tuberculosis. The Utah Public Health association has done a good work in this and its worthy effort for a sanatorium for the tuberculosis itate care and treatment of the infected is There is need for o be commended. nore nurses to visit the home and ine struct those suffering with this and those with whom the patient comes in contact. Preventive work mong children by teaching them roper health habits and developing heir bodies as well as their minds hould be encouraged in every county f the state. The message of the 1924 Christmas leal is to carry on the fight for ealth. Every seal bought and every eal used on Christmas mail helps, ivery penny that is given in for a Christmas seal will be e tut to work in carrying on the and white the plague against iromoting good health. g In a firm belief that this is worthy of the support of .he people of Utah, Now, therefore, I Charles R. Ma try, governor of the State of Utah, o hereby designate Sunday, Decem-te- r 14th, as Tuberculosis Sunday in he state of Utah, and I call upon the hurches to observe this day in their mlpits, and urge the people of this ;reat state upon that occasion to give erious thought to the terrible deduction of life wrought yearly by uberculosis, and to stress the fact .hat remedies are to be found in ed- Seal HriTB Foie Iiis Big rural Ik Snear Inlislry is The outlook for the coming season The heavy-snowexceptionally good. the week has given during past s the assurance of an abundant water supply for the next years crop. It is conservatively estimated that the snowfall at present exceeds that of last year at the same time, by nearly four feet in the mountains. Reports from the heavy snows in Tweleve Mile canyon are to the effect that there are lieai ly six feet just above the sawmill. Last year the fall was placed at two feet at this time of the year. The snow is well packed and due to the fact that the early snows were well packed is almost an assurance that there will be no shortage next season. Statistics show true that in all sugar beet raising districts where partial crop failures occur in one year, that the following season brings up and overcomes the previous years shortage, and usually a heavy production follows. Fertility of soil, water supply and individual care of the fields and crops, have all proven fruitless in combat with the elements and with the results beyond the control the growers should not be discouraged when comparing their results with the older estalished beet raising districts. Due to the fact that the crop in the Gunnison Valley ran higher on an average than did most of the districts throughout the state, gives this section much advertising and the growers here, while hit pretty hard, fared much better than did their neighbors. We were pretty hard hit," said one grower, but the proper thing for every grower to do is to buckle in and go at the proposition with renewed energy. With the conditions most favorable we can surely retrieve our The losses by planting more beets. Gunnison Valley News. Rtdmond School Resumes. 6. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey O. Heath, long time residents and highly respected citizens of Salina, Celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Peter A. Bird, in this city last Thursday.
