Biographical Sketch of WILLIAM PRICE William Price was fcw July 29, 1859 in Llanapan Parish, Breckon-shire, Breckon-shire, South Wales, the son of John and Elizabeth Price. He grew to young manhood in his native land and in July, 1880 he married Mary Ann Margetts. They were married in England and just two years later, with their small son they left their home, bidding farewell to loved ones and friends, never to see them again; crossed the ocean and came to this country, arriving in Lehi June 5, 1882. They came across the ocean with their uncle, Thomas R. Jones, when he was returning from a mission to Wales. They had just been here a few days when their baby son, Edward, died with pneumonia, bringing upon them their first great sorrow in this new land. They were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Latter-Day Saints December 11, 1882 by Thomas R. Jones. They later went through the Salt Lake temple and were sealed for time and eternity. Grandfather Price was the father of eight children, four of them preceding pre-ceding him in death. He is survived by two daughters and two sons, Mrs. James H. Gray, Mrs. John R. Bone, John Price and George Price; also twenty-six grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren and a host of friends. He was a true Latter-Day Saint and loved the gospel, which he taught to his children and reared them up in the church. He was advanced in the Priesthood and held the office of an Elder at the time of his death. William Price was not a public pub-lic man, but he lived his religion in his daily life. Throughout his life he lived the golden rule, "Do Unto others as ye would have them do unto you." Honesty was one of his chiefrharacteristics and his aim throughout his life was to pay his honest debts. Never was there a man more straightforward in this principle. He was a true friend to his fellow fel-low man and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in trouble if it was within his power. For many years during the early part of his life he followed railroading. railroad-ing. At one time he assisted in laying the telegraph line from the Lehi Junction to Eureka. When his health began to fail him he left the railroad and in later years he served as janitor of the Lehi high school and other schools in Lehi. For about the past twenty years he has remained at home, busying himself about his garden and surroundings. Eight years ago December 30, 1930 he was called upon to mourn (Continued on Paffe Five) "Adult Education Each of the local P.-T. A. units of the Alpine district council was notified noti-fied Tuesday by the Adult Education chairman of the district council that funds were now available for adult education in each unit. Leo Hanson of Lehi, who is in charge of the adult education program pro-gram in the Alpine district, reports that a distribution of the available funds was made according to the size of the local units. Each of the small units, which includes Fairfield, Cedar Fort, Alpine, Vineyard, Lin-don, Lin-don, Sharon and Page received $15. The larger units, including Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove and Lincoln were alloted the $15, plus an additional $24. The larger units consist of high school, junior high school and elementary grades. The money for the adult education program is granted to the P.-T. A. councils by the state and is administered admin-istered through the District school beard office. Mr. Hanson, with the rest of the committee, has spent considerable time in contacting and securing the services of contributors.

Utah Poultryman Releases Turkey Feeding Results Experiments conducted in feeding feed-ing of turkeys by the Utah Agricultural Agricul-tural expericent station during the past year indicate that feeding of skim milk in the growing ration, soaking of maah in milk, introduction introduc-tion of oats to the mash, and high protein rations are not essential or economically practical in fattening of turkeys. Professor Byron Alder, who directed direct-ed the experiment, pointed out that the above conclusions are, only tentative ten-tative and that the experiment will be repeated two more years for verifications. A series of experiments experi-ments which was conducted in 1935, 1936, and 1937, however, was repeated repeat-ed sufficiently to varify the original conclusion. A summary of that series showed that the most economical eco-nomical ration in growing turkeys is one with low protein content, from 14 to 18 per cent, home grown wheat and barley and no skim milk. Turkeys in this year's experiment were separated into ten pens and each fed a separate ration. Turkeys showing the lowest feed cost per pound were fed a mash of 24 per cent ground wheat, 24 per cent ground barley, eight per cent meat meal, eight per cent fish meal (the low meal content making it a low-protein low-protein ration), and 36 per cent other oth-er ingredients which were introduced in the same proportions in the mashes for all ten pens. There was no dampened mash, skim-milk, or soaked barley fed to the turkeys in this pen, and the grain fed was 40 per cent wheat, 30 per cent barley, and 30 per cent oats. Feed cost per pound weight was 5.74 cents. Feed cost per pound in another pen was 7.15 cents, the highest for all pens. The mash fed this group was the same as that fed the most economical pen except that it was soaked and alfalfa meal was introduced in-troduced and fed twice daily. This pen was also fed skim-milk once a day and the grain feed was 50 per cent wheat and 50 per cent barley. Through the experiments it was further concluded thatne feed cost per pound for hens is afmosfr a cent greater than for toms; however, the difference paid on the market is sufficient suf-ficient to justify the difference in cost, Professor Alder pointed out. National American Legion Commander Will Be Honored Stephen Chadwick of Seattle, Washington, National Commander of the American Legion, will pay a visit to this section of the country and will be at Provo next Wednesday, Wednes-day, December 14. In his honor a meeting will be held at Provo, to which the general public are invited at 11 o'clock a. m.

Young Man Returns From Alaska Trip Eldon Harris returned home Sunday, Sun-day, after having spent the last six months in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. He reports a very interesting in-teresting season, which included some aerial photographic and undersea un-dersea work. Originally trie group intended visiting vis-iting Eastern Siberia, but en route through the interior of Alaska, Mr. Harris crushed one foot, accidently. It was necessary to return to Fairbanks, Fair-banks, where one toe was ampu- i tated. After recovering, a few more days were spent hunting moose along the Steese highway. The second sec-ond day a 28-point, 940 pound moose was bagged. While in Fairbanks, Mr. Harris visited Professor Lorin T. Oldroyd of the University of Alaska. Professor Pro-fessor Oldroyd is making acclimatization acclima-tization tests with a variety of seeds Mr. Harris obtained from Dr. Eric Hulten of Lund, Sweden. The experiment farm at College, Alaska, near Fairbanks," is developing rapidly rapid-ly and has successfully raised a large number of root crops, grains, and berries. The farm is in charge of Dr. Peterson, who with Dr. Oldroyd, Old-royd, is a former resident of Utah. In company with Geology department depart-ment of the University of Alaska, Mr. Harris visited the large gold fields at Ester Creek. Geology students stu-dents are kept on hand to dig out specimens of prehistoric animals as the hydraulic operations bring them to light. Specimens of huge mam- ! moths, mastodons, bison, etc. are found, including ancient specimens of lions and tigers, like those known in warmer regions today. Mr. Harris reports that the government gov-ernment OiOny at Matanuska is progressing, and that plans are going go-ing forward for new colonies at Hope and Homer on Kenai Peninsula. Penin-sula. Dr. Oldroyd and Peterson are now advocating a "Mormon Colony" and are trying to get government support for it. At Black Rapids, Alaska, Mr. Harris Har-ris saw the huge glacier that was threatening the destructioa of an Alaskan town a year ago. The glacier gla-cier is more than 300 feet high and two miles wide. It moved more than a mile in one year, moving a3 much as 25 feet in one day. Leaving the interior of Alaska over the "Valdez trail" the party saw some of the great Caribou migration, mi-gration, as hundreds of these animals ani-mals swam the Big Delta river. At Cordova, a few weeks were spent at deep sea diving and photographing photo-graphing many 'forms of sea life. One diver killed a young octupus, which the natives took for food. The natives "prepare" an octupus by beating it over a rock hundreds of times, and then boiling it in oil. Mr. Harris states that the natives seemed to like it, so he took a taste, but doesn't consider it a very palatable food. He also reports that the Kennicott copper mine, formerly former-ly the richest in the world, has run out and is being abandoned. At Yakutat the party enjoyed a few days fishing for Black Cod. Mr. Harris reports that during the cod "run" one afternoon he caught over 300 pounds of fish. These are used for salt cod and cod-liver oil. While in Ketchikan, the party obtained a large number of ferns, some of which were shipped here to Lehi. These include the Alaskan Maidenhair fern (Adiantum peda-tum peda-tum aleuticum) and Polystichum Braunisr.0, no common name being known for this species. Mr. Harris spent his first season in Alaska in 1935 as an assistant in field botany on the Chapman-Smith Chapman-Smith Pacific Alaska Expedition, also al-so working on their Arctic-Alaska Expedition in 1936. He has recently taken up photography, doing photographic pho-tographic work for Standard Oil Company at Yakataga Beach and Katalla, Alaska. A number of his Alaskan photographs are being printed in the "Alaska Sportsman" magazine. Mr. Harris also recently joined the Pan-American Society of Tropical Research. He plans to take an offer as cameraman for the J. M. Shepard Expedition in tropical regions after their return from South America next year.
