With better crop prices, heavy public expenditures for bridges, roads, public buildings, etc., it is Property structures or not difficult to Imagine rapid Imprvement In the employment situation and commodity price levels. Cement, lumber, paint, structural steel, electrical ment and all manner of building supplies will probably equipnever again, in a generation at least, be at the bargain counter we been have prices witnessing. Today property owners can improve an old building or build a new one, from concrete foundation to roof, at record low figures. There is abundant labor, both skilled and unskilled. It seems certain that the foregoing combination of circumstances Is doomed. The investor In construction activity today not only gets double return for his money, but helps to start normal employment in the wage and price structures, which will rebound In benefits to himself In better business and rental values. Remember that Investment and employment are cheaper and better than charity. THE NEW AGRICULTURAL ERA It would be an Interesting thing if a farmer of thirty years ago could be suddenly transported to the Chicago World's Fair and shown the model exhibit of electricity at work in agriculture. As the saying goes, his eyes would pop out. He would see chickens treated with ultra violet rays, and their hours of rest and work controlled by light. Cows In a scientifically built lactery are automatically washed and then milked by sanitary, efficient electric equipment. Electric cooling and bottling equipment has superceded old hand methods. There are no hay lofts In the modern barn lustead, a large new type silo, a silo within a silo stores both ensilage and dry feed and reduces fire systems. In the fields of this farm, he would see still more startling a short time things. Even the tractor, thought ago. has been dispensed with, Its place taken by an electric cable plough which makes its way about the field carrying its own cable. There are no power poles to interfere with work or mar the farm's appearance all the distributional lines are underground. As a matter of fact, the farmer of thirty years ago wouldn't be the only one to stare with unbelieving eyes at the exhibit. Todays average farm is still wasteful and inefficient, exacting a maximum of hard labor for a minimum of result. The exhibit at the world's fair shows what the farm of the future will be like in a really "new agricultural era." up-to-d- self-windi- ng HISTORY CAN REPEAT ITSELF In 1860 the federal government cost the average citizen $2.08 per year. In 1931 the cost of government, for all units, was $107.37 per capita. In 1913 the total cost of government was $2,900,000,000, and in 1919 $7,500,000,000 and In 1931 it was $14,000,000,000. In 1929 a year of inflated prosperty the total tax of the American people amounted to 16 per cent of their incomes. In 1931 a year of bleak depression it amounted to 28 per cent. The current year may be the most expensive in our history, with the exception of the war period. How much of the increase in the cost of government, federal, state, and local, can be laidto waste, is problematical. But there is no question but that it runs into the hundreds of millions, for there are scores of bureaus, commissions and inflated governmental playrolls, many of which simply duplicate the work of others. We have permitted the government to go into various business ventures in competition with the livelihoods o fprivate citizens who are forced to pay the taxes to maintain the competition. bonds More and more money is going into 1'he result instead of taxable, labor employing investments. is increased unemployment and distress. History shows many examples of taxing a people until they repudiate tax obligations. Unless all units of government retrench, it is not Impossible to force such a tax crisis in our own country. pt "I'm too tired to pretend tonight." he answered. "I wouldn't ha? given Tenuy up, of course, but I was glad not to he engaged to lien Sutton. I learned once and for all time, Geoff, that I can never marry a man except for one reason: not for financial ease, not becaue he's kind, not because I like and respect him. Those things, I discovered, aren't enough. When I marry If I marry," she amended with a faint smile, "It will be because I love my man so deeply, so truly, so entirely, Unit I can't live without him." The words thrilled Geoff. The little cafe became to hlra a place of drama. He felt humble, this young man who was learning for the first time what love meant He bad thought he knew when Cynthia came home from the hospital, but now he realized with a touch of awe that to love and be loved by Cynthia Aylesbury would be an experience so different from the superficial, ephemeral emotion which went by the name of love with most of his generation that It would set a man apart from his kind. With this knowledge came depression. his His plans to storm the castle of Cynthia's heart vanished. If he was ever to win this sapphire-eyegirl he must fight for every step of the ground he won. He accepted the challenge doggedly. Only his mother could have told Cynthia the fiery ambition combined with stern determination which lay behind that acceptance. Christmas first Day GeofTs Christmas in the Cary house passed off merrily. They were having breakfast Marguerite's fluffy biscuits and tiny brown sausages were neglected while the plies of daintily wrapped packages at each plate were opened. Cynthia's present to Geoff was the book he had coveted In the Odds and Ends along with a companion volume which he had long sought Both were now out of print and Geoff was delighted with them quite apart from his pleasure In Cynthia's thoughtfulness toward his needs. He had selected his own gift for her with much care, deciding at last on a necklace of carved coral, trusting that she would not realize the costliness of Its exquisite work. That she did realize It, her first glance of protest nttested : but she thanked him prettily and that evening he had thp Joy rr seeing If around her throat in ri'mbinatior light-hearte- d d tax-exem- pt Bird Not Enemiea Very seldom do birds become enemies of farmers or present any se- From the largest rious problem. to the smallest they are mostly destroyers and are active In the field or garden throughout the season.

THE JUAB VALLEY There's a valley at the base of old Mt. Nebo That was sage brush and blue grass some few years ago It has changed from its sage brush its blue grass and plain To most beautiful fields of ripe golden grain. First came here that sturdy pioneer band Not with Auto but ox teams, with sharp sythe in hand They cut down the grass and stacked the hay Completing this Job they then went away. Then came they as settlers and built on the stream They ploughed up some land by the use of ox team They built here a fort for shelter at night To keep children and wives from an Indian fight They built them good homes and built them quite well Just what they endured there is no one can tell The work that was done in those pioneer days Is worthy much thought, much credit and praise reaping what they in their hardships have sown Those modern inventions to them were not known In the care of the soil we have changed with the age We are farming this valley once blue grass and sage We have built up a city, not Just one but three We are On Just ae good soil as any there be Our valley is known for its famous dry wheat The fruit of this valley just can not be beat The livestock raised In this valley each year-Arshipped to the markets some far and some near They are grazed in the mountains on the east and the west Of this valley where livestock are classed with the best While the stranger may scoff at this valley so dry He knowns not its greatness as he passes it by But to those who have labored in clearing the land It Is praised for its richness on every hand The things we now see in this valley so grand Should cause us to think of that pioneer band As they settled this valley some few years ago At the base of this mount, the mount of Nebo By JOSEPH H.

ST USE OF CANNING POWDERS Chemical preservatives in the form of canning powders should never be used to shorten the processing time for fruits, vegetables, or meats, warns Miss Elna Miller, extension nutritionist of the Utah State Agricultural college. Such chemicals preserve the food by making it indigestible to bacteria and substances poisonous to bacteria are usually poisonous to to man, says Miss Miller. The pressure cooker method Is the only safe method for processing meats and vegetables, other than tomatoes, because the bacteria which causes botulism in these foods cannot be killed in less than six hours where the boiling point is 212 degrees F. In higher elevations, such as are found in Utah, so much longer periods for processing are needed that the canned and probably unsare, duct is very much overcooked, to the extension nutritionist. Since the pressure cooker, if used correctly, will raise the boiling point up to 240 degrees F. at 10 pounds pressure and 250 degrees F. at 15 pounds, there is a possibility of destroying botulinus organisms in a much shorter period. If the solution is sufficiently acid as in fruits and tomatoes, the B. will be destroyed at boiling temperature. A few botulinus bacteria may live through an Insufficient processing period and produce the toxin which makes the canned food deadly poisonous even though the jar or can is perfectly sealed. bol-ulin- us First Skyscraper The first United States skyscraper Is said to have been the Home Insurance building of Chicago, erected In 1834 Rusted Steel steel becomes rusty rub with a piece of fine emery paper that has been dipped in turpentine.

"You know I would." he replied with significant emphasis, and reassured, she went back to her play. At dinner Flossie and Cary made an announcement "Look here, folks." Cary began abruptly. "This wife of mine Insists that we've honeymooned here long enough. She thinks It's high time we set op housekeeping for ourselves." "Leave here?" Miss Nona exclaimed In dismay. "Cary, you can't you simply mustn't I" Cynthia laid her hand over her mother's. "Walt, dear, and hear what Flossie says about It" Flossie's cheeks flushed brightly. "We've figured It all out Cary and L We can get a and kitdollars. It chenette for thirty-fivIsn't In such a grand neighborhood but that won't matter. It's near to Cary's work. And after we pay our first wife's alimony, we'll still have enough to live on If we're careful. We've loved staying here. Miss Nona, but after all we're married and we ought to keep house for ourselves." she finished reasonably. Geoff was chuckling over the reference to "our first wife." From the very beginning Flossie had accepted that almost mythical person with composure. Her common-sens- e attitude toward life In general delighted Geoff. Cary's sensitiveness received no encouragement from Flossie. The graceful avoidance of money discussion which was the rule In the household simply didn't exist for her. Miss Nona and the Captain never ceased to be shocked by her direct speech, but Cynthia had recognized It for the fine thing It was and upat all times. held her sister-in-laShe approved now of her plan. "Flossie's right. Miss Nona. It's time the bride and groom retired to their own domain." Miss Nona's handkerchief came out "Have you actually Belected an apartment Cary dear?" "Selected It? We've paid the first month's rent," he said proudly. wife of mine "Trust this to clinch a thing before I can slide out from under!" That Geoff told himself, would be the keystone on which the Cary Aylesburys' happiness would be built Flossie would always be there to keep Cary from sliding out from under. "It was a lucky day for Gary when he married his 'Baby," he said to Cynthia when they were driving back from the Inspection of the new home. Miss Nona refused to accompany them and the Captain had stayed home to keep her company. Flossie and Cary rode In "I the latter's disreputable car. shouldn't wonder at all If she turns matchmaker, marries off 'our first wife' and so rids Cary of the alimony." Cynthia assented soberly. "Flossie Is a dear I It's smart of her to move Cary Into a home of his own, even If It's only one room. It'll give him some responsibility for the first time In his life." "Will Miss Nona be upset about It long, do you think?" he asked a little anxiously. "Oh, no. It's the first break In the family and naturally It hurts her. But shell get over It. Miss Nona's disposition Is so sweet" said her daughter, "that nothing upsets her very long." e one-rooe hard-boile- a d e Gar-gantu- Make Bottles Sparkle mii!

The dreary and uneventful January that Cynthia had feared was broken by two events: the arrival of Mrs. Ensloe for a visit, and the Captain's death. The one preceded the other by ten days.

"Their problems and conversation are as Interesting as a play. You wait you'll find yourself involved, too!" And soon Eunice Ensloe was admitting the truth of this. Whether It was the Cary charm, or the of the household, or the susceptibility of the onlookers, sooner or later most people who had anything to do with the connection found themselves swept Into the current which moved them. Doctor BIgham was an Interesting example of this. A widower of two years' standing, he had known Miss Nona all her life. Cynthia's illness had shown him her mother at her best He still drew down his bushy eyebrows and frowned at her helplessness In money matters, but It was a frown now tempered by a smile which was almost tender. He made Tenny an excuse to call frequently at the house. To be sure, be was as likely as not to drop In when the child was at school, but neither be nor Miss Nona appeared to regard that as Important Elsie Dunsmore was another who thought of the family's affairs as her own. her anxious voice "Cynthia," might say over the telephone, "I see where those Dedham bowls your mother was wishing for are on sale at that little pottery shop on Arapahoe street tomorrow at an awfully low price! Shall 1 come down half an hour early and get her one?" The first time Mrs. Ensloe found herself knitting her brows over the problem of Marguerite's habit of leaving the milk on the back porch until it froze and burst the bottle, she lay back In her chair and laughed. "You Carys," she said to Miss Nona. "There's something about you that makes everything you say I really came and do Important out here to see what you'd done to Geoff. He's a folksy person, a kind one, but I've never known him before to get all wrought up over little girls' school shoes or early closing hours on Saturday for gift shops!" "GeofTs a dear," said Miss Nona complacently. "I'll confess to you, Eunice, I hoped at first he and Cynthia would fall In love with each other. But they got off on the wrong foot somehow, and It's been all I could do to keep the peace between them sometimes." Her friend gave her a sharp glance. She knew that her son's heart was given to this small, blue-eyegirl who treated him with a casual sort of friendliness. She discovered within herself an unsuspected Jealousy of Cynthia. Absorbed In her husband as she had been, there was always the consciousness of the boy's adoration of his mother. Unknown to herself she had valued that adoration, counted on It Now that the book was done, the last service she could render her husband was completed, she had Intended to open her heart to her only son. And now It was too late; Geoff had only the remnant of his solicitude, his attention, to give to his mother where once she had had the full measure. If Cynthia said something to him In a little confidential aside at breakfast Geoff went off whistling. If she was preoccupied and silent, he departed for the laboratories as gloomily as though be had just heard of the death of his best friend (To Be Gonttmud) ..,.. J . 'i i in r rv-iil Scarcely a man, woman or chi!d lives who has not heard of the Can adian Northwest Mounted Police, the police force known all over the world for their ability to "get their man". Residents of Nephi will have an opportunity to see the famous Can- adirii Northwest Mounted Police company here in person, when they come to the Vence Theatre next Wednesday evening. It Is an established fact the mem- of the norted organization will trace and follow a creminal who is wanted for years, until they capture him. Interesting stories often appear in newspapers and magazines concerning these men and their real faithfulness to duties they have been ordered to perform. The performance of the Northwest Mounted Police is reputed to be the only oue of Its kind ever shown in the United States. The members of the group will explain the methods of the noted manhunters and now thev track men. Besides the educational value of the program. It also carries humor ous skits and music. One member of the organization is a concert pianist; another, Fliff Lancaster, Is a well known Canadian comedian. Dr. Robert A. Barnes, also a member of the group, is an authority on the outside cseration of a dope ring. The performance of the Northwest Mounted Police is reported to be a pleasing medley of comedy and music, and tilled with educational features. This is in conjunction with the regular picture program. The fast moving drama, "Silk Express", featuring Neil Hamilton, Sella Terry, Arthur Bryon and Guy Kibbee. Regular prices will prevail. Owing to the fact that only one day is to Nephi, it would be advisable to get in early if a good seat Is desired. red-coat- ed 'i ..-.- i A & Sausage Dish For Summer When upexpected guests drop in. to be able to invite them to stay for a bit to eat, and, if your emergency shelf Is well so easy stocked with sausages, it to prepare a lunch in a very short time.
