Almost ponsibilities and local problems over ctions to a man they favored the organizaJ'vV the Lions Club. The Commercial Club will long be remembered as an organization by the ifizens of this community. There "will be none to question the statement that in the years of its existence, the membership of the club has been responsible for not less than eighty per cent of the progress and improvements which has taken place in this city in more than a decade. Once a project was undertaken, there was never a let-u-p until it was "put over." The membership may now gracefullly lay aside their mantle of responsibility, with the sense of having the gratitude of the community. It is significant that of the nearly fifty citizens who have signed up for membership in the Lions club, the greater number of them, are those who have for years been on the roster of the Commercial Club, giving indisputable proof, that there is no waning of interest and that the passing of the old club into a memory, has no meaning other then that the new organization of Lions is calculated to infuse new "blood into the solving of the city problems and bringing about ' many needed improvements in the communwell-earn- ed ity. ..V The national organizer of the Lions, Joseph Madsen, has been in the city during the past week, and has interviewed a large number of citizens, of whom, were at one time or ,jp?y tion of a Lions Club, and pointed to what a similiar organization had done for Garland in the last year, bringing aDout greater accomplishments in the short period of its existence, than the sister city had known in the last ten or fifteen years. Much of the popularity of the Lions throughout the country has been due to the fact that while the club makes no provision for a women's auxilliary, it prescribes regular social affairs, which form as important a part of the functions of the organization, as its civic duties. The secretary of the local club is required to send a monthly report to the national organization, reporting its accomplishments for that period and the program scheduled for the month to come. In addition to this constant prod,, the national body gives to the local club, the benefit of its experiences in more than 800 communities where Lions clubs are functioning, and have tackled and successfully "put over" projects which are essentg ial to the and progress of all cities, be they large or small. Taken in its enirety, Tremonton is to be congratulated on the advent of the new organization, which without doubt will have a tendency to rouse its citizenship from the lethorgy into which it has fallen during the past ' two years. In the months past the poultry producers of this valley have only had to contend with some few diseases namely: colds, nutritional diseases and in some cases roup but we have within our midst now a very dangerous disease namely, chicken pox, which very readily with the other diseases that are very common at this time taking a very high mortality toll and spreading very rapidly with .severe results. Through the cooperation of this paper we are issuing this warning ta all poultry raisers, to take every precaution possible to prevent the spread of this very infectious disease. At the sign of any symptons of this disease get in touch immediately with your veterinarian, or the local poultry plant. Please refrain from visiting among producers and do not admit strangers to enter Although your poultry premises. warnings have been issued by the Utah Poultry Producers Ass'n, to its members this disease has spread very rapidly and is exacting ' very heavy losses in other parts of the state, so that too much emphasis cannot be placed upon, keping your flocks in the mstx sanitary .conditions and in the health. ;Vjrhispossible disease is caused by a Filterable virus or organism too small to be seen by the microscope or separated ' by Alteration. The first signs of the disease is a small, pimple on the face, combs or wattles and should be differentiated from bites. The noudles vary in size from a pin point to the size of a pea or even larger. They later ulcerate into what is known as sore head by the producers and is often accompanied with roup and with canker of the mouth. They are found on all parts of the head and often extend down the neck. As the pox heals it appears as .a dark, later a black scab like mass and then as they heal they drop off leaving a scar. In case of disease all sick, fowls should be removed from the flock and all dead birds burned. The . sick should also be treated or destroyed. Chicken pox virus are very resistent to the action of disinfectants and this process should be carred out very thoroughly. Carefully examine the birds occasionally for evidence of the disease. Notify veterinarian or local plant immediately upon symptons and observe stictest measures of sanitation: L. B. Steffin, Branch Manager. com-bin- se " and Run Driver i !tInjures Thale Leavitt p .

The service was opened by a few verses of Scripture read by the pastor and fol lowed by a musical number called "Listening." The Scnptue Lesson was read from II Corinthians 5:1-1followed by prayer. The quartet sang rHoly Spirit Faithful - Guide." the next number, and for closing song, "Resting". The pastor took for his theme "Ex changing the Cross for a Crown", based upon the text, II Cor.

Interment was at the Tremonton cemetery. The pall bearers were R. C. Harris, C. Tallman, George Crop-leAlbert Earl, Myron Getz and Edgar Winchester. Mrs. Wyatt was born August 8th, 1828, at Norton, Kansas, She came to Tremonton in 1908 and until her death, Friday, Jan. 3rd., had made this her home.

She was conscious of her own religious duty when but a girl and took her stand for Christ at an early age, uniting with the Christian church. When she came to Tremonton and founds no church of her faith she united with the Baptist church. Up until the time that her health began began to fail she was a regular attendant at the church services. The family have the sympathy of the community in this hour of their sorrow. 5, 5-- 1., y, s : Tremonton Girls Are Snowed In At Afton The Misses Phyllis Holmgren and Annie Holland left here a few days before Christmas to spend the holidays with the family of Mr. arid Mrs. W.

But no more. The new law, which automatically went into effect with the close of the 1929 season, on December 31, prescribes that the limit for ducks will be 15 and for geese, 4. The necessity of this reduction has become evident from exhausive field investigation by the Department of Agriculture, which has disclosed that the waterfowl have not been holding their own in the past year. The unusual draught that prevailed during the past season, and the reclamation of large former breeding grounds in the northwest states and Canada, have resulted in cumulative losses of great areas of marsh and water. Mad Dog Is Killed While Running Amuck . Mrs. Wyatt At Rest A Warning To The Poultry Producers After Lingering Illness - NUMBER 17 TEEMONTON, UTAH, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930. Saturday afternoon, a stray dog of medium size was seen running around the grounds of the Valley hospital by the children of Doctor White. The latter's attention was' called to the animal, which by this time was showing decided symptoms of rabies, snarling and snapping his jaws, from which foam was oozing. The dog ran over to the premises of Clifford Beard, tidjoining the hospital. Mrs. Beard saw the animal coming and ran into the house, slamming the door shut behind her. By this time, Dr. White had secured a heavy club, and watched the dog closely, awaiting an opportunity to put the canine out of commission. The opportunity came sooner than he expected. The dog after running- - about the Beard yard for a moment or two ran against a fence and thrusting his head between the pallings from which he was unable to extricate himself and a few well directed blows of a club, ended his career. Dr. White said he was not certain that the dog had rabies, but decided he had better not take any chances. Later he decapitated the animal and sent the head to the state board of health for examination. The Farm Bureau dairy committee started last May on a sort of educational campaign, by 'publishing, a series of articles on cooperative marketing, trying to get the farmers of the valley to see the real need of marketing of their butter fat They also made a study of the market here and came to the conclusion that the buyers of their butter fat seemed "to have a mutual understanding on prices offered and altho the farmers had- numerous places to sell their butter fat, and milk prices offered were held somewhat the same. The investigation also " uncovered the fact that companies operating in similar territory to this one were cents more for actually paying 4 fat then they were paying the farmers here in Northern Utah, including Cache Velley. The producers in Cache Valley, have recently awakened to this fact and are now organizing to sell their product colllectively. A survey this summer showed 40,000 lbs production of milk daily north of Brigham, representing 1,400 lbs of cream. (These figures are con servative,) at a daily loss to farmers in the Bear River Valley of 4V4 cents per lb, $63 per day, or the enormous sum of , $22,995.00 per year which represents the annual loss to farmers because a cooperative is not operating here. It was the committee's business to try and stop this loss. Can the farmers afford to lose this amount yearly? If not, why not organize? The committee in charge of this work has tried to carry out the producers wishes. They have recommended, a cooperative from the very beginning. For a time their success was somewhat hampered owing to the active efforts of a big milk company to establish in the valley. Promises were made by this outfit that if all the milk could be collected together that a condensery would be built in Tremonton. The Farm bureau com mittee only asked that the farmers be considered first," knowing ' the close margin of profit in milking cows. The. farmers were not interested in thpt would not net thpm any set-u- p more money, for their product. , The condensery would not have helped that; situation any, so they rejected the of er. They .made their calculation from Cache valley's experience, and where farmers are organizing (Continued on page four.) , - A WORD ABOUT THE HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER The merchant's relations to his home town paper are supposed to be those of an advertiser. That is a narrow view. The home town paper is an institution. The merchant can no more escape its influence than anybody else in the community, whether he advertises in it or not. Yet, as a consistent advertiser his relations with the local newspaper become definitely constructive. He becomes a part of this institution without which no community can express itself. Whatever its merit or demerits, the home town paper is an expression of the community. literally, ,it is the "Voice of the People" in a sense that cannot hold true for any other medium. This institution keeps friends in touch with friends. To the best of its ability it answers Who, What, When, Where, How and Why? It brings" the individual out of himself. It speaks the local language. It interprets community by week, or day by day, it tells the story of the town and county. Most of us are so accustomed to the home town paper that we take it as a matter of course. If we think anything about it at all, we think of its deficiencies. These are present largely because it is run by fallible human beings. The wonder about the home town paper is that it contains so few ' ' mistakes, not so many. ' To the merchant, especially, the home town paper is an opportunity. His business, too, is a local institution. Unless it finds some kind of expression in the home town paper, both the paper and the business have to an important extent failed to function. Each is affected somewhat by every successive failure in this respect. It does not cost a great deal of money to advertise in the local paper. Most advertisers are rather than most. counts is that continual the It message extravagant. value. of doubtful are now then and advertisements Sporadic Perhaps they are better than no advertising at all. Every advertisement placed by a business house should blend into every other advertisement in places. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single insertion. Vast progress has been made in advertising within, recent years. Outstanding examples of it are to be found in the national field. Locally, however, advertising has much room for development. Aside from one or two stores, the average merchant in the average small town gives too little ' study to the power of advertising. But conditions are changing. More and more merchants are coming to realize that they are losing money and prestige when they are not to be found in the advertising columns of the home town paper. This is one of the healthiest signs in the field of retail merchandising. life-Wee- k over-judicio- 9 newly elected members of the were inducted into office. The out- standing features of the meeting was the acceptance of the new library building and date of dedication set for January 20; the appointment of Mrs. W. H. Stone as librarian; provision made for the maintainence of the library on a basis as between the library board and the city; the final payment to the contractors for the library building, and the appointment, of city officials for the ensuing year as follows? Albert Earl, city justice; William H. Foxley, city marshall; Peter Meister, water master and Dr. Edgar H. White, city health physician. Perhaps, the most important feature of the meeting was the rendering of the final financial report by the old committee on finance, the detailed statement of which will be found in another column. The outstanding interest in this report was the fact that the city's finances were in excellent shape and that there was a comfortable balance in the treasury, a fact which reflects great credit on the retiring members of the city council. This report showed that of the outstanding bonded indebtedness of the city, approximately $45,000, as represented in the water and sewer bonds, $20,000 had been refinanced by the old administration, whereby a substantial saving had been made in the rate of interest to be paid.' It was pointed out that during the year 1930, there would be an increased revenue from taxes, owing to the number of new building which had been added to the assessment roll, which would probably add at least, $1,800 to the city's revenues. As the financial statement showed a balance to the city's credit of $7,800 in the sinking fund and a cash balance on hand of $2,437.24, it was the opinion of the old finance committee, that it would be the part of wisdom, to retire $10,000 of the $25,000 outstanding bonds now drawing the higher rate of interest. This would leave $15,000 on which, during the year 1931, the city could exercise the option of refinancing, as had been previously done with $20,000 worth of bonds, so that the entire outstanding indebtedness, of $35,000 would draw a lower rate o finterest. pro-rat- ed of the old board, was discussed in a general way with the members of the new board, it appearing to be the concensus of opinion, that the plan as above outlined, should be carried out and would innure to the benefit of the v city. Taken as a whole, the report was extremly gratifying, reflecting great credit on the members of the old council, giving an assurance that there would be no increase in the tax rate for 1930, and that in 1931, there was a reasonable probability of a reduction in taxes. t, ; After the acceptance of the financial report, the new members of the council were sworn in and the following committees appointed: Finance Thomas Waldron, chairman David Holmgren and Harry T. Woodward; Water Dr. Odeen Luke, chairman, Harry T. Woodward and Thomas Waldron; Police and Public Safety-D- avid Holmgren, chairman; Paul Heitz and Harry T. Woodward; Building and Improvement Paul Heitz, Luke: arid David chairman, Dr. Odeen ; ''KHolmgren. ?:rV The first act of the new council was to take up the matter of fire limits and building permits. Under present conditions, it in ; believed that the present ordinance respecting the fire limits, is insufficient to minimize fire hazards and that there should, be in- -' corporated in a revised ordinance a ',. . - : ; ings within prescribed city fire limits. Paul Heitz. ' as chairman of the building and improvements committee, called attention to the fact that under existing conditions, anyone at any one at any time or any place could run up any kind of an old shack, with outh the plans for same subjected to any inspection or without the formal-,'- ,, ity of securing a city construction Rermit. The result of this condition' out, was, that there existed no record of the number or kinds of one erected and .was buildings . . of the l i.f vwitiuuiaiig wuocb ux utc iugu lata; of insurance. Councilman Heitz was appointed by the mayor to make ' an investigation and report at the next meetintf, such' recommendations as he deemed advisable', to. be. incorporated. in a new lire ordinance. 1 A A.
