This week we see by the papers that just north of the Seattle city limits a 50-acre shopping shop-ping city is to arise. Listen to this description : "Free parkin? will be provided pro-vided for 400 cars, and the development will be centered center-ed through its entire length by a mall to be used exclusively exclus-ively by pedestrians on their way between stores. An underground concourse will be for delivery trucks, and all back-door unsightlinefs will be underground. Landscaping, Land-scaping, modern architecture, color, lighting and a "welcome "wel-come pylon will make the center a thing of beauty. Add to that description that the shopping city will have snow-capped Mt. Timpanogos as its backdrop, and will include the state's finest market place for the state's finest fruits, and you've reallv got something. Do any of you Orem people know a personable millionaire million-aire who could carry through on this thing? When you talk to him or write, you might remind him that Orem su'.dvisions go up here like individual houses do elsewhere. else-where. ABOUT DEPRESSIONS Here's one about how depressions get started. A man started a hot dog stand. He decided he would give the public a little more than they were used to by adding an inch to the length of his frankfurters and a corriortable increase in business resulted. He refused to serve a hotdog to a customer unless it was perfectly cooked. Word of the bargain he offered spread and his business prospered. He built additions to his stand which had started as one room. He placed an attractive sign in front of his place. He advertised the extra something his hotdogs had in the newspapers. As the volume of his business grew, he was able to add a serving of delicious potato, chips to each hotdog order. He was overwhelmed with business. He became prosperous. pros-perous. He sent his son to college to study business administration ad-ministration with the instruction to bring back the latest business methods so that the hotdog stand could .be made even more profitable. ' Eventually the son graduated. He returned to the hotdflg stand to give his father the word. "Father," he said, "the exeprts at school tell us that there's going to be a depression and that now's the time to retrench and get ready for it. Now's the time to save against the day when the money won't be coming in as fast." "How do you mean ?" asked the man. The boy suggested that a real saving could be made if the free serving of potato chops were dropped from the hotdog order. Again a saving could be effected if the mnn sold standard size hotdogs and rolls like everyone else. The man took his son's suggestions. Business did as a matter of fact fall off some and at the son's further suggestions the man cut down his overhead by dispensing dispens-ing with the sign in front of his shop and cancelling his advertising. Business continued to drop and the man boarded off the additions which he had made during the years of prosperity. Finally he was down to the one room with which he had started and business was terrible. The depression, just as the experts had predicted, had come.

BIT OF EARTH HI Folks, Since the passing of my father, August Nielsen, I have again knelt down and thanked God for friends and loved ones. It's strange that we seldom realize and truly appreciate friends and real friendship until un-til adversity strikes and we are face to face with great trouble. We always appreciate our friends but we take them pretty much for granted until trouble helps us realize their true worth. Mother wants so much to express her appreciation to all the lovely people who were so kind to her in her loss of father. And so for her and all others who may lack words and opportunity to tell their gratitude grat-itude to the friends who have done so much for them when they most needed friends, this column says thanks. Again I have drawn on Mr. Owens' stock of poems to say the things I want to say. FRIENDS Friendship is a magic word In every land and clime And blest is he who has true friends Living near him all the time. For friends are few and far between I Who are steadfast and true And so, my friends who stood by me I write these words to you The world can know no greater gift Than friend in very deed Who's always there to help you in Your hour of greastest need. T!.e writings in the Boons of Time Were written just for you As monument to your great souls And the God-like things you do. Though ages come and ages go Yet time cannot erase The record of your helping hands Nor your redeeming grace. And in that final judgement day When you stand before His throne The deeds you've done in friend ship s name Will all your sins atone. And humble voices Just like mine Our ringing notes will raise To testify in your behalf And sing aloud your praise.

Department of Agriculture Hap Shows Dates on Which the Chances of Damage From Frost Are Only One to Ten. Temperature is the most impor-Jnt impor-Jnt limiting factor in all outdoor "orticultural activities. Soil can be unproved, water can be supplied ruflcally. But planters are a' ae "wcy of the temperature. A key-day in the spring, which loverns all operations, is the date Jen In your locality It becomes relatively safe to set out tender Plants, in other words, the frostproof frost-proof date. This does not mark the "Burning of gardening, "because seas of hardy vegetables can 'be pwn as scon as the ground has Juawed out and become dry enough jo work. This Is usually 30 days Before the frost-proof date, k h term frost-proof, moreover, nardly correct. The weather is uncertain for that. There is always al-ways the chance that in an exceptional excep-tional year, a frost will occur long rr? we average time and many nder things will be nipped. But wme risk must always be accepted 10 gardening. On the basis of long experience, weather bureau has prepared a P which divides the country into zones, and established for each zone a date on which the chances are 10 to 1 against a killing frost occurring occur-ring in the spring. The map accompanies accom-panies this discussion. Look up your location and talk to your gardening neighbors about their practice, and you will find it easy to decide cn the date to accept as safe from frost in your garden. Of course some years you may win with a long-shot and get a crop-from crop-from an early planting of a tender crop because of an exceptionally warm spring. If you want to figure the odds' against this kind of chance taking, you may estimate that the risk of losing tender plants is exactly ex-actly doubled, when they are set out two weeks before the frost-proof date. There is nothing to be gained, moreover, by taking this risk with plants which have been started indoors, in-doors, since they may be seriously injured by a hard frost which does not kill them, and always do best when they continue growing without a check. fa) KSiMJf- r) THIRI IS STILL TIMI TO AIIANOI FOR NIW IISTINOS OR ADVIRTISINO IN THI CALL oua DUGIWGSS OPFIGG 4 But God will recognize at once " ward, That you have been a friend And to your glory and your soul's There will never be an end.
