The company, according to Mr. Scalley, is contracting for 30,000 acres of beets in 1930 in Utah. The officials expect each acre to produce from 14 to 18 tons of beets at a minimum price of $7 per ton. The past few years the average tonage has been about 12 tons per acre.

At the special luncheon-meetin- g of the Tremonton Lions, held at Otto's Cafe, Wednesday evening.there was a full attendance of the membership and several guests, the honor guest of the evening, being Clarence E. Smith, principal of the Bear River high school and member of the Lions club, of Garland, who delivered one of his characteristically interesting talks, his subject being "Laonism". Before seating themselves at table the assembled Lions sang two verses of "America" and after they had satisfied the inner man, Tail Twister, O. P. Bates, industriously started off on his career, by picking on Ike as his first victum, fining him a dime for being late. Bill was the next victum, the Tail Twister fining him a dime for talking out of turn; an extra twist was given Lion Wadsworth for talking too much and another twist given the caudel appendage, for not talking enough. Spencer Taylor got his for The same offense brought a fine for Lion Tamer Ben Wineeler, who came back on Tail Twister Bates with a motion that he be fined for deserting his place at the banquet board and not finishing his desert. The Tail Twister set up a roar of protest, which, however, went unheeded, a unanimous vote, save for one member, deciding that the Tail Twister must drop a dime into the "Kitty." President H. T. Woodward, after the reading of the minutes by Secretary Tom Supan, and approved, introduced Lion Smith. The latter made a splendid address on "Lionism," confessing that when in 1927, the club was started in Garland, he hung back, taking little interest in the organization. One by one, however, he found that his neighbors and friends were joining, and he finally decided to become a member. He said he was not enthusiactic, and it was not until after he had attended the Lions club international convention in 1928, that he really became enthused. Quoting his own words, he said: "I have as an educator, attended many gatherings throughout the United States, but never in my life did I gets .uch a thrill, the keener, because unexpected, that I got out of that convention in Des Moines, Iowa, of 7000 delegates from all over the country; from Mexico, Canada and Cuba and even a delegate from China. Everyone of them thinking men and all imbued with the idea of service to their country and their community. Such a deep impression did the speeches of able men at that gathering make upon me, that in the light of afterthought, on my way home, I mentally classified "Lionism" as my second religion." He added that in all his career never been more deeply impressed, than he was with the earnestness of those 7000 delegates and their deLionvotion to the basic principle ism" social service to country and community, which had been accentuated when he went as a delegate from the Garland Lions to the National convention at Louisville, Ky., in 1929. Lion Smith, punctuated his address with a number of aptly pointed witticisms and stoories, graphically illustrating the various phases of the social and economic activities of the Lions, "social and economic service" was a duty which every citizen owed to his country and his community. In closing his remarks, Mr. Smith1 urged the members of the Tremonton club to be steadfast to those principles, complimented the organization upon the rapidity and thoroughness of the work they had done up to date, thanked them for their attention and expressed the hope that as a neighbor and Lion, he would be with them Win-zel- "And the next day it snowed". And then it snowed again, and the thermometers under the skillful juggling of old Jack Frost began to perform gymnasium stunts which threatened to break the recording glasses. Up and down the mercury soared and skidded, ranging since January 10, from 14 degrees above to 21 below zero. This latter point was reached, Wednesday morning at 6 a. m., the lowest since December 1924, when the weather station at Tremonton recorded the same temperature, 21 below. At 6:30 Thursday morning, the thermometer registered 18 below zero. The shutting off of the water supply in all buildings of two stories or more such as the Midland hotel, the Shield hotel and the Valley hospital, on Tuesday and Wednesday, was in a measure, due to the fact, that in pretty much every home in Tremonton, the household taps were permitted to run all night to prevent f reeze-inThe result was a reduction of pressure due to waste of water, incidentally furnishing the strongest argument in favor of the installation of meters throughout the city. The snow and extremely cold weather caused a great deal of interference with the lines of the Utah Power and Light Co., and day and night, for the past ten days, conditions have kept the "trouble-hunteron the jump. Wednesday morning, when the mercury dropped to its lowest point for the year, all power was cut off throughout the valley, and for several hours there was neither power or light. Here in Tremonton it was found necessary to dismiss the grade school pupils, as it was impossible to heat the building. This was owing to fact that the furnace in the grade school is equipped with an electric automatic stoker, and when the power was cut off, there was no way of feeding fuel into thef urnace. The power company had things in shipshape again before noon, and school was resumed for the afternoon last Saturday to for the winter. Mr. 22 Below Zero.

TREMONTON LIONS MAKE MERRY FOR ALL SUGAR BEET GROWERS tensing NUMBER Utah-Idah- Saturday morning fire broke out in the basement of the home of John O. Garfield, east of town but by the time watermaster Pete Meister and the fire truck reached the scene, the flames had been quenched without doing damage. Mr. Garfield had started a small fire in the basoment to thaw out some frozen pipes, but the blaze getting higher than he thought safe, he undertook to smother it by throwing: ashes over the blaze. It died down and as an extra precaution, Mr. Garfield threw some wet sacks on top of what he supposed was an extinguished fire. He then left for town. Shortly afterwards the flames atrain broke out, the sacks catching fire, but as they were damp, the blaze was quickly extinguished. ly elaborate and entertaining program was then prepared.
