SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, Memoir, Of Wilson Play Frliay i The sad news of the great catastrophe that overtook the nation Sunday morning in the passing of the great war president, Thomas Wood-roWilson, came as a shock to the citizens of Salina, who with the rest of the Republic, unite in mourning the death of one who has made such a deep impression on our national life. Commemoration services were held in the high school Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 and were largely attended by parents and friends of the school. The program included several musical numbers and readings, as follows: Invocation Robert Bjorkman. Songs High School Chorus. Abide With Me Lead Kindly Light Rock of Ages. Miss Grace Cardon. Reading Captain, My Captain w As God Wills Address Mr. Moody. Life of Wilson. Solo M. I. Ovison. Face to Face. P. T. A. Last Thursday The meeting of the Association held in the high school, Thursday evening was very well attended. Neither of the speakers slated to appear were able to be present, but J. Oscar Anderson and association president Christensen proved to be very good substitutes. If there was any disappointment in the failure of the appearance of Judge Hayes and Mr. Ashman, it was all forgotten in the jolly dance that followed the program. Parent-Teach- er Senior Dance Saturday Posters are out announcing the Senior Reception dance which will take place in the Social Hall Saturday night. Dr. B. W. Black, sub-distri- ct No. man- ager of the United States Veterans M A number of the North Sevier high school student will have an opportun- ity to display their histrionic talent Friday evening next, when the annual school play, will be presented in the Social Hall. The vehicle selected this year is entitled Christopher Junior and is a play of worthy proportions, having depth of thought as well as being replete with humorous situations. It portrays the change for the better wrought in a young mans life by force of circumstances and is a play well worth Sugar beet contracts for 1924, which were submitte by the Utah Beet Growers association at a meeting of several of the representatives of the sugar manufacturing concerns of the state and the central committee of the association at Salt Lake last week, were accepted and as usual, the Gunnison Valley Sugar company was the first to accept the form of contract. Other sugar companies following the local company in accepting the contract were the the Alapleton of Spring-villthe Hooper Sugar company and the Layton company. The discussion on the proposed contract consumed the larger portion of a day and it late in the evening before final action was decided by all the companies excepting the Gunnison seeing. Miss Grace Cardon, who is directing the production has had much experience in this line and is sparing no effort to make this years school play a bit above the average. Those taking part are working hard and there is no doubt but what Christopher Junior will set a standard of amateur production that will keep ' succeeding classes on their toes to equal. The story is that of a young Englishman, the pampered son of a millionaire, who is disowned by his father for his seeming indifference to the real things of life. Disgruntled, the young man goes to India, but before going is urged by his father to make a matrimonial alliance that will give him both wealth and position. The boy refuses without revealing to his father that he is already secretly married to a girl whose identity is unknown even to the unhappy groom. The unraveling of this mystery forms one of the interesting eatures of the story. The young man, Christopher, Jr., goes to Bombay and is there employed by his fathers agents, thinking he is working for a stranger, he makes good and incidentally meets and falls in love with a lovely lady. The identity of this young lady as is fanally revealed, is one of the big surprises of the play. The play is clever, modern and full of interesting situations and humorous turns. The suspense is well sustained and one feels that in the end i catastrophe has been narrowly averted. There are twelve characters and the play is divided into four rets, the first two in London and the iast two in Bombay. Kennard Larson and Miss Montess Christensen play the leading parts, while other strong parts are taken by various members of the high school as seen by the ad published in The Sun. Miss Dora Fuller has charge of the costuming, which will be as nearly as possible correct in every detail. It had been the intention of the producers to put on the play tonight, but owing to unforeseen and unavoid-lbl- e circumstances, it was found necessary to postpone it till next Friday, the 15th. Reserved seats will be on sale at the Lewis Drug company. The patronage and support of all the townspeople is not only deserved because the high school is presenting the play, but because the play itself is well worth the price of Bureau ,at Salt Lake City, desires to men with the impress the of their claims for necessity filing disabilities which were received while in service during the late war. Section 309 of the War Risk Insurance Act dated October 6, 1917, provides as follows: That no compensation shall be payable unless claim therefore be filed, in case of disability, w'ithin five years after discharge or resignation from service, or, in case of death during the service, within five years after death is officially recorded in the department under which he may be serving Provided, however, that where compensation is payable for death or disability occuring after discharge or resignation from the service, claim admission. must be made within five years after such death or the beginning of such disability.

It would not be out of place here to speak a good word for our local operators, who have been struggling with unsatisfactory lines and have had much blame heaped upon them that has been entirely uncalled for. With the new board installed much of the dissatisfaction will be done away with and it will be seen that the operators are not often to blame for unsatisfactory service. They are as anxious as any public servants to give good service and hail the new improvement with great joy, since it will greatly increase their power to render good service to an exacting public.

This mill was not large enough to supply the demand and was reconstructed from a capacity to one of 75 barrel. In spite of the increased output the demand still was larger than the output, and when the holder of a mortgage on the Farmers Equity & Milling Co., Wm. Johnston of Richfield, had to foreclose the mortgage and buy in on a sheriffs sale, the owners of the Richfield and Kingston mills immediately entered into negotiations with Mr. Johnston and succeeded in obtain- ing a long term lease on the Salina establishment. The mill in Salina has a capacity of 75 barrels a day and is modern in every respect. Jens P. Jensen, the high class miller who was running the Richfield Roller Mills before it burnt down and then was transferred to the Kinkston mill, will now have charge of the Salina mill, Alfred J .Ward will run the Kingston mill, with W. E. Bay as general manager for both mills and the Richfield receiving station. This however, Mr. Bay assures us, will not mean that Richfield will be left without a mill. To the contrary, the owners are fully determined to go ahead with their plans to give Richfield a 75 barrel capacity mill of the most modern design and with all the latest improvements to insure a highest class product. If they were not so exceedingly particular as to the latest and best of an adequate capacity, the Richfield mill would be under construction already.

Laly Known Here Dies el it was the first to sign with the state organization gains for the management the high commendation that is being shown it.' Following immediately upon the signing the contract which allow the beet grower a $6 per ton minimum and a division on net sugar sales, the management of the Gunnison Valley Sugar company announces the coming of the second bonus. The bonus at this payment will amount to $1 per ton and next Saturday the checks will be mailed to the growers. With the distribution of the checks Saturday, amounting to about $35,000, the total of the bonuses paid by the Gunnison Valley Sugar company reaches $2.50, the first payment having been made last month of $1.50 per ton. While it is not officially announced it is- believed that before fall another substantial payment will be made on the bonus proposition which will bring the total for beets raised in this district close to $9 per ton. Realizing the efforts of the Gunnison Valley company to do the very best for the growers within its district farmers and growers are making elaborate preparations to bust all previous records in the way of raising beets, and it is estimated that the goal, 6000 acres will be planted during the coming spring,. The contracts have been printed and. Saturday they will be presented to the growers for signing. Approximately 5000 acres have already been pledged through the beet growers association and it is conservatively believed that within a week or two nearly 6000 acres will be pledged. 50-5- 0 - Skims Greets "Ur.
