Welling Draws First Fire, Calling for Aid for Sugar Beets Tracy R. Welling, senator from Box Elder county, was successful in getting a resolution passed calling for aid to beet sugar growers and manufacturers. Mr. Welling's action drew consider able comment from newspapers, and we print below comment from the Lake Tribune on the resolution. Aside from introducing this resolu- aon Mr. Welling is busy on committee work, having received appointments on three important committees. Any information that may be desired by the people in this end of the county of the doings of the legislature will find literature at the Bear River High school, Garland library, The Leader office and North Box Elder County Farm Bureau office. Here is what The Tribune had to say about 'Mr. Welling and his resolution: Senator Tracy R. Welling of Box Elder county, a Democrat, scion of a well known Democratic family, and one whose political forebears were freetraders, beat all the Republicans to the gun at the opening session of the senate Monday. He had prepared, all ready to fire into the legislative hopper, a memorial to the Utah congressional delegation at Washington strengthening them in their determination to protect beet sugar in Utah by imposing a tariff on Cuban and Porto Rican importations, not to mention Philippine sweets. Senator Welling didn't want to be out of place with his resolution or memorial and asked President Gardner if he should fire at once or wait a day. h President Gardner ruled that as the senate was at the involved in the throes of organization, adoption of rules and all that, the Welling matter might wait until Tuesday. The memorial which Senator Welling has 'in mind will urge the Utah, senators and congressmen at Washington to. protect not only beet sugar, a vital industry, but protect cane sugar as well. inas-TMic- mo-le- nt Stake Relief Society Gives Fine Program The Bear River stake Relief Society class leaders' and Relief Society teachers' convention Sunday, Jan. 20, at the Garland ward amusement hall.

Mr. Waples enclosed a check for the continuance of The Leader to. his address, stating they enjoyed getting it to help them keep track of his friends here. Also that they were having a little hail storm that day which was an "unusual" thing far them and that he could see snow on the mountains near his home. It might be interesting for him to know we have about 16 inches of snow and that from Tremonton East the road is like a tunnel, the snow plow piling it about six or seven feet on either side of the road, a rare sight. The editor is grateful for Mr. Waples' kind wishes of success in the paper business, and for the opportunity of passing on through these columns his "kind regards" to his friends of which he has a host of them here., all who will be glad to hear of his well being. Best wishes to you and yours, Harry, come again. S. B. Watland and Wife Have Enjoyable Trip Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Watland returned last.

Fridal was receiving con- gratulations last Monday from his friends and relatives on his having lived three quarters of a century. Mr. Fridal is one of the early settlers of the Bear River valley and has done much to make it a pleasant place in which to live. He is a man of high ideals and deeds and should be happy in the knowledge of the hiph esteem in which he is held here. We join with his host of friends in wishing him many happy returns of the day and that we may yet enjoy many more years of his wise counsel and his congenial fellowship. At the call of President B. F. of the Commercial club, poultry mm of the valley, or more particularly members of the Utah Poultry Producers association, met last Thursday in the Commercial club rooms to discuss questions pertaining to the association and its activities in this valley. Pres. Jesse W. Hoopes, General Manager Clyde C. Edmunds, Field Manager Willardson and Local Manager Garr were present, also a good many of the poultry producers. The prices and quality of eg"s were discussed and questions answered as to the local and eastern market prices on eggs. It was shown that over a period of any one year the prices paid by the association were higher than the prices paid by outside dealers. The rapid growth and expansion of this organization is proof of this statement in itself, also that it is profitable to be a member of the association, and that this great industry has long since received nation wide recognition, and is unquestionably responsible for putting the poultry industry on the map in this state. Manager Edmunds was pleased with the quantity and especially the quality of eggs being received at the association station here, and urged all those who had signed the contract of the association to be loyal to it, and thus increase its scope as well as their own profits. We understand that the eggs being delivered to the station here in Tremonton are grading up with the best of them throughout the state. It is hoped that the patronage of this station will grow so that a new and station will be built during the coming summer. It is up to the poultry producers; belief is expressed that this can and will be accomWin-ze!- er te Man Arrested While Tampering With R.R. William Macri was charged with plished. the offense of injuring and obstructing the operating of the S. P. R. R. Saturday from a complaint issued from the office of County Attorney Lewis Jones. The affair had heretofore been investigated by Sheriff John H. Zundel and it is alleged that the defendant held up the operation of the trains over the Lucin Cutoff by cutting the wires and interfering with the operation 'of block signals. The defendant is now in the county jail awaiting a hearing. , Valley and Mountains Laden With Deep Snow The Bear River valley just now is experiencing one of the most severe winters in many years. During the past month, and especially the last ten days, many inches of snow have fallen, which has laid a beautiful deep white blanket over the earth. The wind, not satisfied with the snow receiving all the praise, came out from his hiding place and is doing his best to blow it all away. The best that he has accomplished so far is to blow the roads full, cover up a few pig pens and the smaller out sheds on the farms and add a little discomfort to the people. This, coupled with the unusual low temperatures that have prevailed, has made goob dusiness for the coal man. In spite of all this the people of the Bear River valley know too well that, just such antics of Mother Nature is vital to their success and prosperity, for it has been in the past our most successful seasons in agriculture are after just such winters as we are now experiencing. So to the snow and frost we say, "Hail Good Fellows" well met. Pioneer of Coalville Reaches Four Score Mrs. Wm. Carruth, mother-in-laof the editor of The Leader, was accorded a birthday party and dinner last Saturday by her children at her home in Coalville, in honor of her 80th birthday anniversary. Mrs. Carruth spent part of last summer in Tremonton and those who know her will marvel that she had, reached this age, so spry and vigorous is she. She was one of the early pioneers and has helped to reclaim and build the state ana places in which she has lived. Congratulations, mother, may you live many years to come to bless and comfort those who love you. w Let's Hear Garland Lions Roar Jan. 30 At the Palace Gardens, Wednesday, Jan. the 30th, the Garland Lions club with their tail twisters, lion tamers, fun and rain makers will entertain the Lions and Commercial clubs of Box Elder county and Malad, Idaho, in an evening of doing the light fantastic. That all the Lions will be out of their den that night is a foregone conclusion, and those who fail to get out of theirs, will feel like crawling in for good the clay after. The Garland Lions have proven themselves to be a real live organization and a bunch of real entertainers. That we will all be there is a cinch bet.

Bean Raisers Ask Increase in Price TWIN FALLS, Idaho At a meet ing of contract bean growers at Twin Falls Tuesday afternoon a resolution was adopted asking 2 cents a pound more than was paid last year. The price was then from 5 to 7 cents a pound, according to the variety of beans sold.

I High School Notes -j- - After traveling for 40 miles in the teeth of one of the most terrific blizzards that this country has known for some time, the B. R. H. S. Bears got back into their old form and very decisively trounced the Weber Warriors to the score of 3 in Tuesday night's game, at the same time upsetting all of the dope that the sport writers have accumulated thus far this year, From the very first the Bears became the aggressors, passing, pivoting, dribbling and shootnig with such speed and accuracy that the Ogden team seemed lost by comparison. The handful of loyal B. R. H. S. supporters shouted themselves hoarse as the efforts of Cropley, Harris and Holt resulted in piling up such scores that from the first the outcome was scarcely in doubt. The score by quarters was as follows: First, second, 13-and final 3 third, with Bear River always in the lead. Cropley was high point man with 14 points. Virg starred in every phase of the game. Although he was singled out and closely guarded he succeeded in showing wonderful scoring ability as well as good floor work and leadership. Although Holt received two bad falls, both of which knocked him completely out. he- succeeded in contributing eight points toward the final score. In fact, it seemed that his injuries only made him fight harder and he showed a lot of pluck and grit in performing as he did. W. Harris proved a very elusive dribbler and floorman. Before the Weber men knew what he was about "Wit" would have dribbled around them for a shot at the basket or a pass to a team mate. Wilcox and Lillywhite did well at the guard positions, Wilcox scoring a number of baskets which were not counted because of progression. The Weberites seemed unable to strike their pace, due, probably, to the fact that they had played their big game of the season but four days previous when they met and defeated Ogden. High. Thus, although the Bear River boys performed creditably they were not required to play at their extreme capacity as they must do ni order to win the remainder of their games. Eben Wilcox, J. J. Shumway, Bill Hinman and A. W. Bishop are to be highly commended on the splendid spirit of interest and cooperation that they displayed in so generously furnishing cars to take the boys to Ogden so that it would not be necessary to ride, cramped and uncomfortable, in a cold van; which condition was responsible in a measure for the defeat B. R. H. S. sustained at Kaysville last Friday. Much praise is also due the group of some 40 students who braved the cold and traveled the 40 miles in a van to cheer the team to victory. B R. H. S. should be proud to know that it is composed of such loyal students. Not content with one victory the B. R. H. S. second team beat the score. ShumWeber seconds by a way for Bear River was high point man. The score: 34-2- , 9-- 2; 21-1- 6; 34-2- 0; , - 13-- 5 B. R. H. S. secretarv, respectively, of the Contract Bean Growers' association.

BEETGROWERS of this great western industry. Eph- nam uergesan, president of the Utah State Farm Bureau, is representing- the beet growers of this state in Washington, and has testified before the house committee, regarding the actual conditions of the heet industry. Mr. Bercreson stated that ih industry should be protected to a point where the growers could earn something. "We feel," he said, "that me sugar industry of the United States if adequately protected can fully supply the home market," and expressed the hope that the government would make good its promises in the recent campaign, and unless something was done the west would go out of the sugar business, it looked to him, and concluded by asking for a raise of 1 cent per pound duty on Suban sugar. Stephen H, Love, speaking for the United States Beet Sugar association., made a plea before this same committee, stating that under the present conditions the manufacture of sugar was unprofitable to grower and manufacturer as well, stating that the industry was facing a serious crisis due to the impact of competition with sugar imported from foreign countries, produced under tropical conditions of living and wages which are far below those prevailing in the fanning communities of the United States and with which the American farmers and manufacturers could not compete under present tariff rates. It seems to we, who are vitally interested in the success of this industry, that the tariff commission could see at a glance that the beet sugar industry has not had an altogether square deal, and this, as we understand it, is practically the only important food commodity which is beprices. ing sold at If this great western industry is forced out of business through competition of Cuban sugar, the question arises, whom will it affect? Not only we in the Bear River valley and the states engaged in this business, but every other farm industry will be affected, as the thousands of acres of beets will be planted to crops of course of which we already have a surplus, and thus all will be more or less affected through a lowering of price owing to greater surplus, which .affects the farmer's buying power, which will affect the manufacturer, which will affect the laborer, these facts cannot be successfully refuted. So we are reminded that those who may think we can get along without this or that industry, will do well to think over the remarks of "Farmer" Brown recently when he said "there is no such thing as a local problem." It affects us all. Therefore, we should get behind Senator Welling, and those who supported his resolution calling for a higher duty on sugar, Mr. Bergeson and Mr. Love. Let us boost for Utah and the industries that have made her a great state: let us boost for the Bear River valley, the finest valley that lays out doors. And last, but not least, let us be grateful to Providence for tjie wonderful snow we have piled feet deep in our fields and mounting, that insures us of a bountiful crop, airates the ground and rids it of the pests and bugs and fills moisthe ground with the ture. Let us hope and work for the success of the men who are working pre-w- ar life-givi- for us. Davis County Farmer Purchases Farm Here who recently Scoffield, George moved into the valley, purchasing the Eldredge farm on Iowa String, paid The Leader office a pleasant call, and while here subscribed for The Leader. We not only think Mr. Scoffield used good judgment in coming to this valley to live, but also in having a paper come to his home that will keep him in touch with the things that concern us most. Welcome to our community, Mr. Scoffield and family, success and good luck attend you.
