Helper enjoyed its first game night baseball Monday evening playing the California Owls under the flood light equipment of the traveling ball club. The game of was witnessed by a record crowd which saw fly balls drop for hits because the illumination was hardly bright enough to allow the players' eyes to follow thru after the ball left the bat. The Owls were adept In pulling the balls out of the darkness, and won the nocturnal contest, which closed about midnight on 0 an score. The Helper leaguers thoroughly relished their first attempts at the old sport in a new guise. The game was a free hitting affair, but had Its thrilling moments.

"Like a large part of the arid West, we are confronted with a very serious condition in Eastern Utah, the like of which has never been known to the stockmen before. "The summer range, by reason of the drought has been extremely short, and the livestock are facing the coming winter generally in a much poorer condition than usual. "The winter range is similarly a nil quantity: There is none. While it is extremely dry and hot, rains if they should come immediately could not repair the devestatcd condition of the winter range. It can help It little. We are, therefore, facing a very grave situation. No market for stock 'and no winter feed. It Is entirely out of the question to call upon banks and local moneyed Institutions to us finance under the present conditions. Yet without such financing we will be forced to the markets with practically all of our stock, which, of course, would be ruinous to any stockman. The only hope for the livestock industry is for Federal aid to the end that we may have food stuff supplied us from the middle west to winter our stock. In order to do this, we must have government aid to Insure food stuff for us at the lowest possible price which means largely financing on the Continued on last page U.B.I.C.
