Never in the memory of the school have they failed in this task. And so this year again the patrons are to witness new and .changing designs and decorations, that of ultra modernistic design.

Pres. Jenkins Visits Utah W.C.T.U. Groups Mrs. D. W. Jenkins, State President of the W. C. T. U. has spent the past 6 weeks organizing a membership cam paign ,in Ogden, Salt Lake, Provo, Tooele, Milford and Springville. During the past 3 years the National W. C. T. U. has grown at the rate of 1000 members per week and Utah wants to bring up its quota in the enrollment of new members. Mrs. Jenkins has been speaking before clubs, missionary societies, church es and high schools, emphasizing the need of an educational program for law observance and law enforcement. All officers agree that the active sympathetic support of groups of law abiding citizens organized for civic and community betterment is at all times an asset of tremendous importance. This fs the work of the W. C. T. U. "OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE?" Banner' is now, "The by official decree, our national anthem. If that makes you feel any better when you try to sing it, thank Congress. Ungrateful persons have suggested that the legislators would have done better to have provided some means of teaching the melody or to have passed a law forbidding people to stand during its rendition. That, however, is mere cavilling. Years have passed since Congress first started to transform the song into a national anthem. Give the statesmen time and they may yet attend to those details. Of more interest is the fact, often mentioned and as often suppressed, that the unmanageable tune was formerly that of a barroom ballad. During consideration of the bill to make the song the national anthem, it was asked why sober patriots should be called upon to vocalize a melody originated by tipplers to whom no range or pitch was impossible. For an answer to that, one will have to querry the 2,000 representatives of patriotic societies who presented a petition sign ed by 6,000,000 citizens asking for passage of the bill. Star-Spangl- J.

Watch for it FIELDING skies 'are overhead, March-blu- e By Douglas Scalley Following is a report of a meeting o Sugar Co. officials and the Box Elder county Sugar Beet committee, as reported by the beet committee: Some time ago an invitation was sent by the Sugar Beet committees to Mr. Scalley, manager of the o Sugar Co. in Utah, to meet with them and discuss some of the problems that surround the growing of beets in Box Elder County. This meeting was held in Tremonton, Tuesday the 17th, and in a very frank way most of the problems of growing beets was discussed, many questions were asked, and in answering these questions Mr. Scalley gava a rather detailed description of- the sugar industry. He stated that his company was in a better financial con dition that they had been for the past two or three years, and barring any unusual condition, they would be able to take care of the beet payments promptly, as they have done for the past 40 years, with the exception of last year. He did not look for any material advance in sugar this year, and unless sugar advanced the present contract was as good as could be done, that he believed in a contract that would provide for the payment on the quality of beets delivered, and an advance payment that would be safe for the industry. He said he was a thorough organization man, that he wanted to work with the organization in solving the problems as they came along, that the beet growers could do more for the industry than any one else. Many mistakes have been made with sugar business in the past and with this experience, it is hoped that many mistakes will be avoided in the future. "In "the opinion of the sugar beet committee we are on a better basis than we have .ever been before, and those who have sugar beet land let them sign promptly and help cut the great expense of signing contracts that have been made in the past.

Yet that doesn't mean his methods have disappeared. Fact is, he has only changed to meet new conditions. Now he uses the radio to tell how his election, or the success of his party, will save the nation. Tremonton owners of radio sets can attest to the change, and most of them approve of it It used to be that if you got caught in a crowd you almost had to remain and listen to the harangue whether you wanted to or not But it's different now. Sitting at the radio you can listen if you like, and if you don't like you can, with the simple little turn of the wrist, silence insofar as your own the ears fire concerned.
