COUNCILANDTEL- - One of our party more interest ed in the Dry Farm exhibit given by the Commercial Club and dry Rates. The recent increase in toll rates from Nephi to Salt Lake by the R. M. B- Tel. Co. has created quite a furore among the business men, and it became apparent that there would be "something doing" at the meeting of the city council last Friday evening. Accordingly, division commercial superintendent H" M. Fennemore, and district manager I. A. Smoot came down on the evening train to explain the cause of the raise in rates, and also hear the complaints of the city council. Councilman Hague opened the skirmish by the following broadside resolution which was unanimously carried: "Resolved, That the mayor and city attorney be appointed a committee to ascertain if the franchise granted to the R. M. B. Tel. Co. by Nephi City can be annulled." This resolution was followed by another from Mr. Hague that a committee be appointed to wait on the Commercial Club to ask them to join with Nephi City in an endeavor to get a just rate from the telephone company. This resolution also carried unanimously. Mr. Fennemore, who. was present, representing his company arcse to ask that the council investigate the cause of the raise in rates, defore taking any action towards the revocation of the franchise. Mr. Hague replied that the city gave the franchise in consideration that the Teleph- one company would give reasona- ble rates, and that the recent raise in rates was unjust and entirely unreasonable, and well nigh prohibitory to the business men. Mr. Fennemore replied that their company under the old rate with the increased cost of labor etc. had been operating at a loss; that in most instances heretofore been Nephi had rate cheaper getting a than Provo and many other towns, and that now his company has established the air line rate recommended by the interstate commerce commission Praise New vo.

Having seen heard wonderful things at the Dry Farm Convention, I made up my mind to visit some of the farms where these splendid grains, fruits and vegetables were produced. "I first drove out south east of Neuhi to the famous day land peach orchard situated at the mouth of what is called Four Mile creek canyon. This orchard is owned by the Broadhead Brothers, it is one of the finest orchards I have ever seen and the fruit for quality and size cannot be excelled, the trees are loaded with fruit this year except the apple trees; they are thrifty and looking fine. "The grain fields present a beautiful picture of scientific and careful agriculture- Here and there and on all sides are great fields of the yellow ripened grain which is now being harvested. "After riding over these great fields we can readily see why the town of NeDhi is so prosperous. The same possibilities are right at our own homes. We have the soil, the precipitation, and everything in our favor. All we need is the determination to go out and do things as the Nephi people are doing." Progress Review. - Ward Services. At the First Ward Sunday af ternoon an interesting meeting was held. The Mutual Improvement stake officers were present to explain the work of their organization for the coming year. Superintendent J- E. Sorenson and Addie Cazier, together with counselors Mr. and Mrs. Shed J. LuntandMrs. A. R.

Salt Lake City a Healthful Election On the Bond Edison, Have The Courage. One of the hardest things in this world to do, is to hold to the right in the face of adverse criticism. It is not easy to wear the old clothes until we have the money to pay for others, or to sturdily wear patches rather than visit the pawn shop. Yet, if one's associates are people whose opinion is worth having, they will think all the more of us for our independent honesty . Have the courage to live within your income, lie it large or small and even when the unavoidable emergency arrives make sure that itis unavoidable before you contract a debt or ask a favor. Debt is a species of slavery; the creditor owns the debtor to the extent of the debt. and his claim grows every day. If the debt must be incurred, let it barely cover your necessities. and pay i t back as soon as possi ble, even to on your part.

Burton, secretary of Commercial club spent yesterday in Salt Lake arrang ing for space for a dry farm the-Neph- i exhibit at the Utah State fair, October 3 to 8. In connection with the exhibit Mr. Burton said: "While the exhibit is being arranged under the direction of the Commercial club, much cred it is due the farmers for the interest taken, all pridinur them. selves that they have the greatest dry farming district of the coun try, and are anxious to let the people of the state know it. It was due to this that the dry farm exhibit was arranged at Nephi, during the Indian War veteran reunion, which attracted widespread attention anions- all of the visitors. - DRYEST IN 35 YEARS "The exhibit was left on display for several days after the encampment and brought many visitors to Nephi to view the examples of progress made along arid farm lines. The crops this year are a great success, notwithstanding the fact that it has been the dryest season in thirty-fiv- e years, the total precipitation between June 1, 1909. and June 1. 1910, being only 7.24 inches.
