Vice-Preside- nt KNOW AND BOOST UTAH 1st Prize, Erma Hansen of Elwood Some eighty-seve- n years ago a band of sturdy pioneers wound their way westward until from the mountain side they looked down into a barren and desolate valley. It was then that their brave leader, Brigham Young, uttered those ever famous words, "This is the place." Through the efforts of these courageous, people the barren wastes began to 'blossom as a rose." Their never tiring efforts made possible for us this wonderful heritage "the land of. Utah," and it is our duty as their decendants to carry on their ideals, fond hopes and visions of what Utah would some day become. From the very beginning of the development of Utah, Brigham Young incouraged the growth of industries. The pionneers had been haere only a short time until a number of factories were established. Brigham Young encouraged the people to support their own industries and buy Utah made goods. He realized that only by the people supporting the industries could Utah become popular and proserous. The people did support the industries and the ountry continued to grow. Mining as well as farming and manufacturing became imDortant. In 1896 Utah became a state. Was it not very fitting that the "Bee Hive" should become the state symbol? The "Bee Hive" stands for industry, and the state of Utah stands for Industry and progress. It is our duty as citizens of Utah to live up to 1st Prize, Edna May Ward,' Riverside The best way to sell Utah to the outside is for us to be sold on her It is every Utahn's duty products to prosperity to develop our industries. Boost for Utah rather than enrich other sections of the country with the cream of our business and professional ability. INDUSTRIES s. What would Utah be today if she had not the loyal support of her citizens? The citizens of Utah have made her what she is today. Utah is a very young state, and if she grows as rapidly in the future as she has done in the past, certainly she will rank among her sister states. Through buying Utah made products we not only build up the manufacturing plants of the state but we also encourage the raising of raw materials used in the various indusfore-mo- st tries. the greatest factors which contributes to the growth of a state is the confidence which the people put into that state's abiltiies. Utah people are noted for their hospitality. Men may travel over the length and breadth of the land and they will not find the same hospitality, the same friendly which is so characteristic of our state. Shouldn't we be noted for our industries as well as our hospitality? Boost our industries so well that our state will be one of the best if not the best known state in the union. Did you know that Utah leads the nation in the production of silver, is second in the production of copper and lead, is fourth in the production of zinc, and is sixth in the production of gold? Boost Utah. She ranks with the best states in mining indust-ie- this symbol. More than two billions of dollars in mineral wealth has been produced by Utah mines. Experts asset that the surface has scarcely been touched and that much more wealth is at our disposal. There are more than two' hundred different minerals in this state. The advantages of farming and livestock raising in Utah should be The made known to everyone. mountain ranges of Utah provide two advantages to the state's agricultural and livestock industries. 1. lhey pro vide the needed amount of water which is controlled and distributed by 2.

Their contributions to the annual income of the state is second onlv to mining. Sheep, cattle, hogs and poultry thrive here. Purebred Utah sheep are famous for the quality of their wool, nad Salt Lake City is the lead ing ram market in North America. Utah is being looked upon more and more as the logical source of raw materials for the rapidly growing industrial activity on the Pacific Coast. Boost Utah's industries and make Utah the real "Queen of the West." (Continued on page two.) stock-raisin- g " The biulding of sugar beet factories have built up the sugar beet industry and furnished employment for many people both from Utah and other states. Factories have necessitated the raising of sugar beets which have proven a profitable crop to the farmers and a source of wealth to the state, in that it furnishes employment for many and is profitable to both manufacturer and farmer. We need not hesitate to buy Utah made products because they are of an i inferior guality. This is not the case. People through out the world are beginning to realize the high quality of e More and more goods. the people of Utah are beginning to realize that, "Utah made products are best." A good way to build up Utah is to boost for her. It is our duty as sons and daughters of this fair state and as descendents of the brave pioneers, to boost for Utah and make her one of the best states in the best country on the face of the earth, to make Utah one of the brightest stars in our glorious flag. Utah will be judged by her people Iet ua govern ourselves accordingly and let us keep this motto "What Utah Makes Makes Utah," shining brightly before us, that we may always say, "This is the Place." i ORGAN RECITALS BRING COMMENT OF APPRECIATION M.

Welling, stake president and Secretary of State, carries the information of how the people of the state and other states, regarded the recent broadcast over KSL by remote control, of the two concerts given at the dedication of the new pipe organ in tne stake tabernacle at Garland. As also does it express the sincere appreciation of the stake president for the cooperation of the people of the stake and the church itself for their magnificient contribution. We print in part the letter received from President Welling. ' Last night at a banquet in com pany with Mayor John F. Bowman, he had this to say: "I listened to the broadcasting on the air of your Fri day night organ program; nothing liner has been put on the air so far as 1 can remember. The singing of the male quarette was equal, it seemed to me, to any professional group of singers I have listened to The performance of Mr. Kimball and the other artists was a wonderful tribute not only to them, but to the people of your com munity where they visited." Yesterday Judge James A. Howell of Ogden called me over the long distance telephone to discuss a matter of official business. At the close of our conference he said, "I listened to Kimball s broadcast of the Bennett program from your Stake Tabernacle on Sunday afternoon. It was the best organ music I have ever heard, and I want you to know that I deeply ap preciate the enterprise of the people of Bear River Valley in sending out such wonderful programs. I also received a message from J. B. Smith, the largest coal operator in San Francisco, California, renewing an acquaintance I had had with thi3 gentelman some years ago in Washington, D. C. Smith said our program reached him perfectly, and it was the finest he had ever heard. Incidental ly, I recieved from him a box of Cali fornia oranges; so that I am already getting cash dividends on the enterprise of our people in building this organ. Today the following note came from President Franklin S Harris of the Brigham Young University: "I am just dropping a note to say how much we enjoyed he program from your stake tabernacle on Saturday even nig, and also the Bennett pro gram from your organ Sunday after You seem to have a very noon. wonderful instrument, and I congrat ulate you on it and the program which you gave.
