A ways and meant committee has been organised under the chairmanihip of E. O. How ard of Salt Lake City, president of Walker Brothers Bankers, and with D. C. Oreen. general manager of the Utah Power ft Light com- Kmy, at vice-chairman and John C. Cutler, pretident of the Deteret atioul Bank, treaturer, and J. H.

Mr. Howard, general chairman, hat ittued the 'ollowing appeal - to the people of Utah: "" The purpose of thit fund will be to take care of cases requiring special attention. Under the compensation act, the Utah Fuel com- Kay will pay $16 per week for 312 weeks to each man's dependents, etpectivs of the number of dependents In each family. Thit compensation com-pensation set is sufficient coverage for protection in an ordinary catastrophe, but not where the entire community it affected tuch at In the Castlegate ditatter. The law does not take care of specific Instances where there are several members of a family, and investigation investi-gation thowt that at least SO per cent of the bereaved families have - more than five dependents, snd in many cases there are -as many as eleven dependents. These children face the future without adequate resources for their protection and sustenance. As Governor Mabey has declared in his proclamation, It is apparent that there is a .crying need for help among these women and children, living victims of the terrible disaster "An appeal to the people of Utah for relief is absolutely necessary. neces-sary. To alleviate the suffering is the only human thing to do. We respectfully urge that the citizens support this movement, and send subscriptions immediately to the chairmen of the various, county organizations, or to any bank in the state. The ways and means committee is charged with the responsibility of raiting the funds, and a trust committee which has been appointed by the governor will direct the disbursement At thit time we are not jnaUng any special appeal to other states, but subscriptions from such states will be . accepted. AS the people of Utah are well aware, this disastrous explosion ex-plosion resulted in the untimely death of 173 miners, leaving 113 widows, and 266 minor children fatherless." In addition to a wire to each county chairman notifying him of his appointment, a letter was sent out under the signature of Governor Gover-nor Mabey and Mr. Howard under date of March 26th, as follows! "Following a careful, investigation of the situation at the Castle-gats Castle-gats catastrophe I issued a proclamation, a copy of which is attached hereto. This survey was made by a committee composed of Mr. Imer Pett, chairman; Mr. F. B. Hansen, Mr. Darrel T. Lane, Mrs. C. H. Stevenson, and Mr. Carl Marcusen. The report was in detail and I am having run off for you, copiea of the report to that you can be fully advised and in turn let the people in your county know the exact status of the situation. "As you already know, the resolution of the committee's investigation investi-gation points to the need of a fund to take care of the dependents who will require attention in addition to the compensation allowed onnder the law, namely $5,000 to a man'a dependents, payable $16.00 per week. Newspapers throughout the state and country at large nave carried the details of this sad accident, and it appears to be the ;eneral concensus of opinion that ateps should be taken to raise the und of $100,000. We respectfully urge that you use every means - possible to raise the quota for your county.- The Red Cross chapter, church societies, fraternal and commercial organisations should be called upon by you to supply the necessary machinery to raise the fund. Without delay, please appoint vice-chairmen to take charge of "the various cities, towns and sections of your county. You have many good men and women available for this work. ' . "Potters that will serve to call the sttention of your people to this campaign are being mailed to you under aeparate cover. Will you please see that they are distributed and prominently displayed. The Boy Scouts organizations, we believe, can be depended upon to - make the distribution. At you have been previously advised, Mr. John C Cutler, president of the Deteret National Bank it treasurer. All banks are authorized to receive subscriptions to the fund. "It it neediest, we feel sure, to urge that necessity demands prompt response in this emergency and we hope that the good people of your county will respond generously." . - Frank-B. Cook, president of the Columbia Trust Company of Salt Lake City and president of the Utah State Bankers' Association, sent the following letter to all members of the bankers association: Several weeks ago the people of the state were stunned with the realization of what the Castlegate mine catastrophe meant, not only to the coal industry, but particularly to the dependents of those men who so valiantly gave their lives in performance of their duty. - "Governor Charles R. Mabey has, within the past few days, issued a proclamation calling upon the people of Utah to subscribe t a trust fund of $100,000 for the dependents of the 173 men who were lost. This is not an exhorbitant amount to ask of the people -of the state. The Utah Fuel company which owns and operates No. 1 mine at Castlegate, the scene of this catastrophe, is meeting its obligations without hesitancy, but as you will realize the amount of compensation provided under the law ($5,000) is not commensurate, commensu-rate, in all cases, to take care cf the dependent families of the men who were killed. The .amount of $5,000 is paid on a basis of $16 per week. "A state committee has been organized by Governor Mabey. A campaign to raise the fund is now under way. The Governor and the committee request all the banks of the state to receive subscriptions subscrip-tions for this fund. In so doing will you keep 'an account of the names, addisses and amounts of all who subscribe to this fund. The temporary treasurer it John C. Cutler of the Desemt National Bank of this city. Will you please advise Mr. Cutler the amount on hand for this fund as of April 1st." Members of the ways and means committee are E. O. Howard. D. C. Green, Edward E. Jenkins, A. O. Mackenzie, John C.

April 3 (Special) Criticism of the McNary-Haugen Export Corporation Bill by the county elevator operators and co-operative associations has resulted In several amendments which will become evident evi-dent when debate Is opened In the House and Senate, according to Representative .John W. - Summers, Chadrman of the Export' League. Every legitimate criticism from these sources hat been met, he declare, to the end that the n'll should uerooftsr receive undivided support from every section of the country, "Under the McNary-Haugen hill as amended the result will be to put prices for farm products on a basis equaling prices for other commodities," commod-ities," said Mr. Summers, "without interfering in-terfering with the present system of marketing. The elevator operator will continue his services Just as at present, except that his business will be somewhat more secure, and legitimate legiti-mate profits more certain, through the price stabilising Influence of the Government agency. The dealer and the miller also will benefit through the elimination of wide fluctuations, ( which under present conditions may ecur at any time to disrupt the Industry. In-dustry. "Co-operative organizations, under amendment which are being added, are even more thoroughly protected than in the original draft of the bill. They should receive great organisation organi-sation impetus from ,. the -passage -of the measure, which will bring many millions of dollars to their farmer members. "As the bill now stands, every element ele-ment of the farm marketing structure Is protected In Us legitimate operation oper-ation which, of course, Is the only phase worthy of attention. The machinery for segregating r surplus products from those domestically consumed con-sumed remains untouched, with the arrangement for establishing domestic prices oa a fair basis Irrespective of world's prices. In other words, the amended McNary-Haugen Bill means revival of farm prosperity, while at the same rime protecting, the Interests of other legitimate businesses and Industries In-dustries throughout the country. It Is the one measure now before Congress which completely and Justly meets the agricultural situation." .o - Sawdust and Ashes.

AMENDMENTS Ice Cream Is A Valuable Food, Bays Expert Of all foods, let) cream la one of the moot popular, according to' Prof. Guitar waster dairy manufacturing expert, of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Ex-periment Station, Whether summer or winter si dish of delicious ice cream following a regular dinner make a person feel as If the meal was complete In all respects, j There is something fascinating about this refreshing uand palatable food, whether It be plain, snow white vanilla, or roseoolored strawberry . Ice cream. It not only- adds palatabOity to our diet, but, since It contains 86 to 40 percent of total solids, which are chiefly fat, sugar, and protein and which are present In an easily d!ges- table form, It should be considered a very valuable food. Ice cream Is net an expensive food. It furnishes os much energy as some of the most common foods. One quart of Ice cream furnishes 1250 calories of energy, or more than one-third of the daily energy required by a man doing moderate work. Ice cream contshv Ing a reasonable amount of butterfat is rich In vltamlnes, and I a good food for children. The average annual per eapital consumption con-sumption of Ice cream In Utah Is only about 4 lbs. as compared with 104 lbs. annual per capita consumption in Wisconsin, and 15 lbs. In Pennsyl vania. In other words, each person In Utah consumes' a dlah of Ice cream every day for only .thirty days oat of the 365 day of the year. The consumption con-sumption of this nutritious and plat- able food should be materially In creased.
