By B. K. Farnsworth Field ItepesenUtive, Utah Liquor Control Commission Is a need for education there That in relation to the problem of alcohol will scarcely be doubted by any one who considers the nature and in which we are now living. A century ago In the dominant agricultural civilization of America, the consecquences of alcoholic excess were limited largely to the victim himself, to the members of his family and to his immediate associates. Today we are living in The railroad. the machine age. the truck, the automobile and the airplane are symbols of a new pace and tempo, the Instruments by which our modern society expresses itself in terms of speed. Indeed the whole economic and industrial structure is based on the theory that cool heads and steady nerves are necessary to run it. Railroads early recognized the evils of Intemperance, for in 1899 the famous Rule "G" was in operation in every first class railroad. This rule was not written by fanatics and moralists, but by engineers in Juab Nephi, County, Utah Thursday, SopU-mU-- The News, Volume 9M 10, r Stake Conference Planned For Saturday and Sunday; Netting Them In I Pioneer Parle will be the official name of the Nephi city park located between fifth and sixth north on main street, according to a decision reached nt the regular meeting of the Nephi city council held on Thursday evening of last week. The park was so named because the pioneer cabin, pioneer relics and the small portion of the pioneer mud wall which surrounded the settelment of Salt Creek, now Nephi, in pioneer days, are located on the park. Mrs. Alice P. McCune, president and Mrs. Beulah H. Irons, board member of the county camp, mot with the city council and asked that the park be so named Inasmuch as the Daughters of Utah Pioneers have been instrumental in securing the building of the pioneer cabin, and the placing of the old mud wall and historical relics at the park, as well as the planting of some trees and shrubs which are dedicated to the memory of the early pioneers of Nephi the. city council passed the motion that the park be known hereafter as Nephi City Pioneer snrriA tnlrpn pvprv aiitnmnhtel Is an Park. city argument against liquor; every new WBaRoutine business of the "le mew-ni"""" mechanical device is a Dlea for, temperance today.

Winder, president of the State Fair Association since 1918, stresed this phase of recently in dicussing the 1936 event cheduled to open September 26 and close at midnight on October 3. He declared that year by year the Utah State Fair was being more generally recognized throughout the country as among the leading events of its kind. "Each passing year see the Bee- Hive state's annual exposition more widely acclaimed as a truly great fair," said Mr. Winder. "This year's event, with its outlook for the larg est number of exhibits ever shown and an unsurpassed amusement program, will go far in enhancing the reputation. Ernest S. Holmes, fair manager, pointed to the steadily growing list of livestock entries for the 1936 fair as evidence that livestock growers in particular, view the Utah State .Fair as one of the greatest of all stock shows. Entries have been received from more than a score of states; all accomodiations for cattle, sheep, swine, horse and poultry promise to be alloted far in advance of the opening of the fair. Exhibits of mashinery will eclipse those of any previous event of like nature according to fair officials. All available space on "mach inery row" on the north side of the fair grounds has been reserved and the fair management has been compelled to allot space elsewhere in the grounds for overflow exThe division will include hibits. an interesting automobile show. Prospects are also fine for the greatest of all fair horse shows. Entries already filed include some of the state's champion thoroughbreds, as well as some from other states. Tte annual Fair dog show will far surpass that of last year in the number and variety of canine exhibited. The same may be said of the poultry show. The new cement floor laid in the poultry building will prove a boon to show visitors. Federal government exhibits will be present in a vtirtety never before approached.

J. Wheatley, economist. As butter prices increase, however, there Is a material shift to butter substitutes and even a refraining from the use of butter at all on the part of some persons. This shifting to butter substitutes combined with the possibility of some increase In butter Imports, may limit the probable price rise to a very moderate amount. Dr. Wheatley points out. Farmers In Utah who have good herds of dairy cows, or who can acquire fairly good cows at reasonable price, will find it profitable to feed hay and other comparative ly cheap feeds liberally.

Recent rapid rise in feed prices has caused poultrymen to market a considerable number of thelr birds.: It is expected that this heavy marketing of poultry will continue until late fall, even though prices are expected to be discouraging.
