A report on this work will e submitted at the end of the school year by Mr. Soleberg for citizens of the county, giving total cost of material, labor and worth of completed project, along with other interesting terns.

All the work benches which the students use were made by the students themselves under the direction of Mr. Soleberg. In addition to these, the students have finished and put in place two fine chemistry tables, now in use in the main building, as well as a number of library shelves, drafting tables, cedar Chests, etc. The new football goal posts are also the work of the students of the wood working depart- SAVING THE SOUL OF A CITY Considcralde talk and argument is to be heard these days concerning the razing of the old Social IUll theatre building that stands on State street in Salt Lake City. This old n structure that has stood the test of all the winds that have blown over Salt Lake valley for so many years is about to be torn down anL scattered to those same winds. How the winds will shriek and howl in glee when they find how the destructive hand of man haa so helped them. .To dust, then, with this sacred old building. Men care but little about saving the soul of a city.. Away with the old shacks whether holy or unholy in the thoughts of their fellow creatures away with them, for let us build skyscrapers l)igher than the skies in their place, for skyscrapers show how we Ameri-thcans would reach up and beyond high heaven for the almighty dollar. Not so much as one little patch of ground must we think of saving, nor even an e building whereupon men might stop in the rush of business cares and let the mind wander back to yesterday for a moment. The rush of business carries us face to face with the now and eagerly do we search the future for openings and ways that are favorable to us. The past is dead in this hurry scurry of pressing business. What a shame. Salt Lake City, in the Land of Zion, is about to lose one of its hallowed and historic monuments. Bus inessays tear down the Social Hall, and few and feeble are the voices of those who recall with tender memories the days when the city was once in its infancy and would treasure such a structure that recalls the days of the hard working pioneers. For in this old building our forefathers were wont to congregate after the days work, and make merry with their socials, balls and theatrical compositions. Tis but an easy matter to save this old building is sufficient pressure is brought to bear on the parties inter ested in destroying it, though their reasons for such destruction may be ever so good and sufficient. Relic of early life that it is, why not use it to house other relics of the old days when the city was young t What better than relics within a relic.

C. Gignoux, assistant supervisor of agriculture for the Union Pacific system, gave the farmers in the vicinity of Farmington last night at one of the series of meetings being held in Davis, Weber and Salt Laks counties. The posibilities for spreading the fame of Utah celery and of adding of the farmers greatly to the income as well as Used as- an illustration to show what can be done. The examples of the strawberry growers o f Oklahoma, the cabbage gardeners of Colorado and other similar casea were cited to show what has been done. That the fanners, especially the vegetable growers between Salt Lake and Ogden, are going to yealize the opportunity afforded Is demonstrated by the faet that enough sweet Spanish onion seed haa been sold to make A crop upwards of fifty carloads next year, according to Mr. Gignoux. The question of marketing was said by speakers to be certainly the most important problem before farmers today. With Utah Celery occupying where it is known an unequalled reputation, and with excellent sweet Spanish onions which can be grown here markets once certain of they are known, the urgent, need, the speakers declared, is for first the pro- duction of a standard product; second, the organization to market and,. Hill'd, and highly important, the advertising of the wares the state has to offer. In addition to the vital considerations of standardization for marketing, the meeting considered the need for a through freight rate under which the producer could ship their products more economically direct via the inter-urband the transcontinental lines. The interurban now has no through rate with the Uniofi Pacific and it is expected that meeting" will be held in the near future in an effort to secure this advantage. Mr. Gignoux announced yesterday that agents of the Union Pacific, Fanner Smith and V. S. Poet, are now on theimvay to Madison, Wis., to purchase 1400 head of dairy cattle for fanners in Jerome and Wendell counties, Idaho. The financing of these cattle is being arranged through the local banks and the Idaho agency of the war finance corporation, according to Mr. Gignoux. The purchase of so much additional d dairy stock is held by those interested In agricultural development to be an important step forward. Not only has the advantage of dairying been felt by the Idaho farmers, but Mr. Pect will investigate the possibilities of securing 400 head of cow for Delta, Utah, farmer. Plans are now being formulated for the financing of additional dairy herds in other parts of Utah and Idaho. far-reachi- high-grad- e an well-bre- 6.4 mills; 12.00 Washington, 10.5 mills; Tin-ti- c, mills; Grand, 8.85 mills. If Davis county is spending enough money on its boys and girls for education and the general public thinks it is then some of the other districts that Superintendent Child classes among the leading ones of the state must be spending altogether too much for the education of their youth, as shown by the district levies quoted.
