HUGHES BABY BADLY BURNED Robert Blair, two-year-old son of :Mr. and Mrs. Ra.y Hughes of Midvale, was seriously burned Saturday when he fell backwards into a bucket of hot water at the family home. He was taken to a. local hospital where his burns were dressed and is reported to be getting along very nicely. ~---------------- Bank Committee Urges Attendance Only a few members of the depositors• committee of the Midvale State bank were present at the meeting Wednesday evening In the bank building. The melp.bers who were present reported the signing up of a number of depositors' agreements, some of them covering fairly good sized accounts. Another meeting will be held a.t the bank building next Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock, and it Is urged that all members of the commitee make an earnest endeavor to report on the llst of depositors they were to contact.

Between 800 and 1,000 Utah and southern Idaho poultrymen will attend the sessions at the Newhouse hotel, it is estimated by Clyde C. h;dmoncts, association general manager. Attendance will be augmented this year by the fact that the Utah TurKey Growers' association is holding its yearly conference in conjunction with the poultry group.

The program was voted a success and all the color of a big time wrestling event was there. A big feature of the program was the appearance of Ira Dern, famed Utah heavyweight, and Hy Sharman, another outstanding Utah grappler, who staged an exhibition of holds, Dern expl:;tining them to the audience Some of the holds demonstrated by the wrestler·s were the rabbit punch, Japanese arm stretch, Boston crab hold, the Figure 4 arm scissors, leg split, Strangler Lewis' head lock, Stecher's body scissors, Jack Reynold's leg split, Henry Jones' Japanese wing lock, and the airplane spin, originated by Ira Dern. Dern stated that his first professional match was held in Midvale some years ago when he met Cliff Lewis at the Elycum. theater, and that he used the airplane spin in this match for the first time. The hold was not named until Dern met Gustus Hansen in a match at the Orpheum theater when he secured a fall with it for the second time. Hy Sharman was scheduled for a match with Val Thiessen but Thiessen could qot appear and a match was arranged between Harry Peterson and Sharman. The wrestlers were scheduled for a 20-minute bout and put on an exciting exhibition, Sharman winning the fall in 15 minutes wlth a leg strangle hold. Probably the fastest and most thrilling encounter was that between yonng Dory Detton and Tid Taylor, weltenveights. Detton won the scheduled SO-minute match in 11 minutes with two flying mares, the latter putting Taylor down for the fall. The match was fast ~.nd clean and kept the fans at a high pitch. Dean Detton. older brother of Dory and a topnotcher in Utah wrestling, defeated Fred Spiers in another outstanding bout, getting the needed fall with a flying headlock in 13 minutes of a scheduled 30~minute event. Harry Peterson and Ernie Olson went to a fast 20-minute draw. Peterson outweighed Olson about 30 pounds and has had more experience, but the lighter man made up for it by his a):{gressiveness and staying qualities. Olson suffered a bad wallop on the hack of the neck when be received a rabbit punch on one occasion, but went the limit. Billie Hansen of Reno lost to Jack O'Hara of Salt Lake with a step-over toehold in 6 minutes. Hansen lost the bout but won the crowd's favoritism A boxing bout between Carl Christensen and George Black was inserted in the program. They went two fast, close rounds and no decision was given. The show was opened by Blitz Harper and Vern Taft, two Midvale youngsters at about 70 pounds. The bout was scheduled as a three-minute affair and young Taft won with a head scissors in one minute. secretary~treasurer. Bill Longson refereed.

I g g * * * County Agent's Report Shows Aid to Fanners Elders' Quorum Will Visit Oil Refinery INTEREST ADDED TO DEUNQUENT TAXES John Hansen Presents Exclusive Article To Journal - John Hansen of Riverton, president of the Salt Lake County Farm Bureau, merchant and former school of· ficial has written the following article on 'Amortized G<:lvernment Farm Loans'' exclusively for The Midvale Journal. Mr. Hansen is a recognized authority on farm economics and the many problems arising in c4nnection with the depression as it affects the thousands of farmers in Utah. His article follows: AMORTIZED GOVERNMENT FARM LOANS When a doctor is called in to see a patient, first of all he makes a careful diagnosis of the case and when he arrives at the cause he prescribes a course of treatment. As a cooperative help to the doctor, by the patient, is that he has faith in his own recovery and in the skill of the doctor. lf the "Agricultural Patient" i~J to receive real helpful treatment looking to a cure, it too must have its case carefully diagnosed. That the remedies prescribed have failed is evidenced by the fact that the "patient" is gradually growing worse. If tha experience of the individual citizen was not sufficient evidence to prove the extreme danger of the situation, then some of the leading magazines dealing with such questions bring conclusive cooperative evidence. The "Business Week," January 4, 1933, shows the "Business Activity" to be in the worst condition since the depression set in. How much longer the "patient" can survive is only a question; but there can be no question that a curative remedy must be administered and that very soon. A diagnosis of the "patient" traces the cause of his present enfeebled condition to two causes; with a third irritating and further depressing him: viz: Demonetization of Silver and ruinous rates of interest. These two have sapped hi.s vitality till he cannot carry the third, Excessive Taxes. The most virulent form of the disease was caused by the demonetiza. tion of silver. When England placed India on the gold standard, perhaps at the subtle influences of centra.lized wealth, she by that one act destroyed the purchasing power of one-half of the people of the earth. The only money they knew-silver- was placed in the class of metals that have value only as used in the arts and sciences. Not only India was denied of a medium of exchange but a very large proportion of all the others. The results of that act of England has already reacted so adversely on her that (Continued on Another Page) Boy Scouts Of E. Jordan Set For Big Meet Boy Scouts of the East Jordan district are all ready for the annual meeting of the Salt Lake council tonight at the South high school in Salt Lake. Forty-five scouters of the district, clad in Hopi Indian uniform, will at· tend the banquet at 6 p. m. which will p'recede the business meeting scheduled at 8 p. m. They will present several original songs and yells 1n the dinner program. More than this number will attend the business meeting in the school auditorium. Tickets to the dinner were liimted. It is announced that the East Jordan district ranked third in the Salt Lake council's districts in the recent campaign for recruits with an average of nine new scouts per troop. There are 11 troops in the district with a total of 99 scouts. Three of these troops were added last year as new ones. Grant stake was first with an average of 9.85 and Oquirrh was second with a 9.33 average. ~--~----------·-------- Journal Prints 500 Extra Copies Today The Midvale Journal this week is printing 500 extra copies for distribution in the south part of Salt Lake county and we wish to call the attention of our readers to the advertisements of Midvale merchants offering special bargains for the week-end.
