A year's work, the expenditure of over $20,000,000--and natural gas, unlocked from the basic rocka of the Rockies, flows through the mains to give the state another giant utility based on the raw materials of this section which has been called "the nation's treasure house." The advent of natural gas muat be mailed as the supreme indUitrial event of the year. In 1924, when after 75 years of waiting, Utah coal and iron ore was united at the blast furnace, then the east suddenly sat up and began to take notice. There appeared at the time in Forbes magazine, an article about Utah entitled, "The Pittsburgh of the Rockies." This article, written by Witman S. Smith, said in part: "Years ago geologists who tramped and climbed through the mountains of Utah found all sorts of mineral wealth which, if found in Illinois would be worth fabulous sums; but because it was in Utah was worth little or nothing. Yet Utah, because of its location, is admiraLly situated to become as great a manufacturing and Jistnbuting center foL· the inten.aountain states as is Illinois for the middle west. "Utah does not contain all of the minerals of the Rocky Mountains by any means, but its array of resources is startling. It has the nation's larg· est silver mines, the largest open-cut copper mine in the world, the world's largest alunite deposits, rich in potash and aluminum; mountain ranges of oil shale, the world's largest deposits of hydro-carbons-gilsonite, elaterite, and ozokerite, immeillle d~ posits of natural cement, all classes of building material and furthermore, it 1las iron ore in prodigioua quantities. Since the flotation process was developed, Utah silver mines have become chiefly noted as lead producers and they likewise yield &Teat supplies of zinc. "Many thinks may retard, but, in the end industry will come to raw materials." The point of this all means that the endowment of raw mineral resources of Utah will remain potential and never be utilized unless there is available an abundant supply of heat and power. Now there Is a huge supply of natural gas, the ideal fuel for home and factory. The basic resources will now march side by side as a team in the industrial development that Is bound to come as they have in PellilBylvania. SUGAR BEET EXPERT WRITES FOR .JOURNAL Shores Loveless, agricultural superintendent of the West Jordan factory of . the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, will write a number of interesting and instructive articles on the preparation of the soil for the growing of sugar beets, and other details co111iected with the planting and eare of the crop during the growin&' season. These articles will appear each week and we are sure of readers will gain some valuable information in reading them. Mr. Loveless has just lately been transferred to this district. For the past ten years he has been connected with the sugar beet industry in the Snake river valley in Idaho. MURRAY CLUB WOMEN VIS.tT COl\ :\!UNITY CLUB Of unusual interest was the meeting of the Community club held last week.

Does your beet farm need phosphate like the ldaho farm shown above? If phosphate deficiency is the cause of your I ow tonnage, find it out immediately.. Fields intended for beets in 1930 showing a phosphate poverty should be tested. If you want our fieldman to help you take a sample, see him at once. For the crop of 1930 we will only recommend the use of phosphate wherever the soil has been tested. Phosphate is no substitue for poor farming, but the fact has been determined that some soils in this district have, through many years of irrigation and cropping, been depleted of this necessary plant food. Commencing with 1930 the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company is enlarging its agricultural policy which h&.S for its purpose to increase beet tonnage and bring to the farmer the best methods of beet culture which have 1been proven by master farmers and sugar beet experimental stations throughout the United States.

Nibley was hostess to members of her club Tuesday afternoon of this week. Mr. E. R. Benson, mana£'er ot the local J. C. Penney company store. believes that the 1930 Thrift Week ia ushering in a new era of prosperity. Business is good and is improviq. People are working more serioualy than ever to maintain their standard of living and this standard is set to a safe and sane program of spendin&'. As an important factor of the Thrift Week program each one of ua should take a personal inventory of stock in band. Mr. Benson offers the following suggestions: 1. Save regularly. Draw up a budget so that you can "tell your money where it is to go instead of wondering afterward where it went." This will enable you to see ahead more clearly, to find and put a stop to "leaks" and to save a certain sum regularly. Budget accounts booka have been gro;ving in popularity these last few years. Remember that it will never be easier to save than it is today and that it will become easier to swing into step as you &'0 along. 2. Spend wisely. Be generous but not extravagant in your buying. Keep posted on values. Read your papers. Watch the windows and shelves of your favorite stores and compare prices. Women spend about 75 per cent of the family income and & skillful buyer adcta to the family savings. Don't try to keep up with the Jonses. They may have a lar&'er income than you or may be runniJll' into debt. Fit your scale ot livin&' to your own earnings re&"a.rdless of others. When you spend money for entertainment, be sure you get the utmost value for your money. Doa't barter your future for a little pleasure. There is a world of difference between recreation and mere entertainment. 3. Teach your children the value of money. However little money you give them, let it be in the form of an allowance. Give it regularly and make them responsible for it. Show them how to keep account of it. It will teach them to spend wiaely for they will soon learn that too much money ~or luxuries means a decided check on what they have for other things and they will avoid making similar mistakes in the future. Teach them to buy their own clothes, starting with the simpler articles, and watch how much better they will take care of their clothes almost from tile start. 4. Go Into debt wisely. To incur debts for current expenses or for luxuries is to take a step backward. Installment buying is always a temptation to go farther into debt than is justified. It often becomes increasingly difficult to meet installmeD.t obligations. The happiest people are the care-free ones who save and pay u they go. But going into debt for insurance or for a mortgage when you purchase a home is a wise procedure for it really amounts to going- into debt to save. Always consult your banker before you invest any money for you can be sure of conservative advice that is freely given. Whether you have a bank account or not, your local banker will be &'lad to talk things over with you. Mr. Benson points out that llr. J. C. Penney, founder of the organization that bears his name and which does a nationwide business, is a.n excellent illustration of what thrifty habits can do for an individual. Starting out at the age of eight with a capital of two dollars in pennies and silver which he had saved, little James, who lived on a farm, bought a pig which he fattened and sold at a profit. Part of this profit went to buy some clothes and part went into the bank. Later ventures into the world of business netted more money until at the age of twenty odd $500 had been gathered together which Mr. Penney paid on his partnership purchase in a store. This was at Kemeremr, Wyo. In his January message to his more than twenty thousand associates and employes, Mr. Penney stressed the principles that started him on the road to fame and fortune. He said: "It is relatively easy now for a man to acquire financial independence. This is accomplished by the constant use of those qualities which we have proved essential in our own organiza.-. lion-honesty, diligence, thrift and industry." GROUP PIANO INSTRUCTION TO BE GIVEN STUDENTS During the special activity period, students may enroll for group piano instruction. There will be three , classes each day. These classes will be 30 minutes in length and will commence at 1:30, at 2:00, and at 3 :00. The school board has furnished the school with ten silent keyboards. With these keyboards and the regular piano, eleven students can register in each class. Each students may take two half-hour periods each week. This program allows about 90 students in the piano classes. j There is no charge for this excep, tiona! opportunity for piano study. I .Miss Harris, the instructor of this class, is an expert. Although she is exceptionally well prepared for this work, she has registered for advance 1 work under Prof. C. W. Reid ot the I McCune School of Music. |
