RITES HELD IN BRIGHAM CITY Like the Horse If anything could forcibly illustrate the law of diminishing returns resulting from increasing costs beyond letter postage has a reasonable figure, the three-ceturned the trick. nt Prominent Church and Civic Worker Laid To Final Rest A large number of citizens from Tremonton attended the funeral services of Frank Fishburn, held at Brig-haCity, Wednesday afternoon. The deceased is a. brother of A. N. of this city, and comes from a family that have been prominent in the progress and development of Box Elder County, both in a civic and religious way.

Tyson, President W. C. Horsley and J. Francis Merrill. Elder McKay referred to his early acquaintances with the deceased when both were students at the University of Utah. He paid glowing tributes to his character as a young man, his and the splendid work that he ..as done during his life in the church.

Order Chicks Early, Advice Given Poultrymen Orders should be placed now for baby chicks so that delivery can be made by the hatcheries when the chicks are desired. Chicks hatched in March and April are, as a rule, the best for Utah poultry raisers. Late hatched chicks do not grow and develThe op as well as the early chicks. hot weather seems to retard their growth and a larger percentage of the pullets are culls or poor producers. A very progressive hatching and breeding program is being developed here in the state by the hatcheries and breeders and the marketing association. Utah poultry raisers should aid in developing this program by ordering, as far as possible, Utah hatched chicks. While some good chicks are obtainable from a few of the hatcheries out of the state, many of the chicks shipped in are decidedly inferior to our Utah hatched birds. Those desiring loans to purchase baby chicks may secure the same by making their applications to H. P. Randall, who will furnish all informa tion in connection with the same. Club Leaders Meet 4-- H In Conference, Friday Friday at 2 o'clock p. m. the club leaders from the north Box Elder county communities met with county extension agents, Mr. Stewart and Misa Jensen at the Lions Club at Treclub plans for monton, to discuss this year. A good representation was present. In addition to general problems discussed, the following things were decided upon. 1 Park Stumm of South Tremonton and Mrs. P. E. Ault were chosen club supervisors for 1933 as the in the north Box Elder division. The supervisors were author2 ized to choose two men and two woclub leaders to attend the men club conference to be held the week of February 27 to March 4 inclusive, at the Utah State Agricultural College. 3 It was voted on to give all club boys and girls of 1933 an opportunity for a health examination. An affirmative vote was taken 4 to form an organization of club leaded for the purpose of meeting once a month on recreational and other problems. These meetings will be held in different communities. President 0. L. Brough and Vice President Mrs. EH Anderson were in attendance at the meeting and assisted in planning the work. 4-- H 4-- H 4-- 4-- 4-- H Postal revenue has been lost which will never be regained from the same class of mail, for the simple reason that the public has devised ways to use third-clas- s mail instead of first. The same thing will take place with gasoline. As gas taxes are shoved up beyond reasonable figures, smaller cars will be used, or larger cars will be used less, and the volume sold will diminish, thereby producing less revenue for the state. The same thing will take place with property. Beyond a certain point, the owner cannot pay taxes. When that day comes, he will let the city, county or state take it and the tax rolls will be flooded with unsalable property, and tax deficits will mount. The public is no different than the horse. You can lead the horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can tax the public beyond its ability to pay, but you can't make it pay. The political subdivisions of this nation, from the smallest hamlet to the Federal government, should readjust the tax bill and public expenditures to fit the ability of the people to pay. The papers are filled with reports of meetings of tax experts, state tax commissions and other organizations of "tax spenders" who are in a large measure to blame for the present taxation problems of the people. As advisers on the financial affairs of the people, they have for years taken the easiest course, acquiescing in public demands for extravagant public expenditures without raising their voices in protest or showing where exorbitant spending was leading the people. Even today, most of the "tax experts," instead of recommending drastic cuts in public expenditures, are hunting ways and means to increase existing taxes or find new methods of taxation. The same thing is going to happen to every city, county, state and the nation itself, that has happened to millions of families they are going to have to get along on less money than they thought was possible a year or two years ago. Instead of increases in taxes or new methods of taxation to balance public deficits, there is going to have to be decreased taxation and decreased public demands on a balanced scale, which will eventually wipe out the deficits. Families are paying up their bills now on reduced income simply by reducing their expenses below their income. Governments will have to do the same thing.

It is expected that at least one member of the general authorities will be present at the conference. Mrs. Ralph Deacon, who has spent the past five weeks in the Valley Hospital, has recovered sufficiently to be able to be removed to her home in Blue Creek, the latter part of the entered by the Utah week. State Agricultural college and W. S. Hansen of Collinston, were awarded first and second prizes at the purebred wool exhibit of the International Livestock Exposition held at Chicago last month. The wool show, held each year in connection with the livestock show, attracts wool exhibits from the whole nation. The purpose of the show is to promote improvement of the wool from the various breeds of sheep, and to keep the market standards of wool definitely before the producer. The fleeces entered were from purebred Rambouilet ewes. The prizes amounted to $6.00 and $4.00, although it was not definitely stated which of the fleeces was first and which was second. It is indeed encouraging to Utah sheepmen that representative fleeces from their herds rate so well in na- tional competition. Prominent B. R. Student Registered at U. S. A. C.

A few came in late, among whom was Robert Calderwood, who elected, being scotch as he termed himself, to sing a song rather than pay a dime as a fine. A box was procured and the genial postmaster mounted it and harmonious lays went forth from his golden throat, to the great delight and amusement of the Lions. The business of the meeting was the reporting of the heads of the different committees. The matter with respect to the adjustment of gasoline prices was reported by Alma Theurer. He stated that he had been in touch with the Garland Lions club and that members of each club had made arrangements to go to Salt Lake Monday to meet with the oil officials and try to get the adjustment in the price. Reports from the other various committees indicate a busy and successful year ahead. It was proposed that the major activity of the club for the year 1933 be the opening of a bank in Tremonton. This proposal met with a hearty applause and activity in this line is expected from now on through the club. and Green Ball Held r the-follow- ing France.

On returning from his work, as deputy assessor, in the evening, Mr. Allen entered his home and was greatly surprised to find all his children and grandchildren at his home. An impromptu program was arranged in which all members present were called upon to perform. A very pleasant evening was had and delicious refreshments were served at the conclusion of the program.

The preparation for this festival has provided the finest opportunity for offertraining in group singing ever is and ed the people of this stake looked upon as a fitting climax of years of M. I. A. musical training. Much credit is due to stake directors J. Theodore Arbon of the Y. M. M. 1. A. and Mrs. P. W. Christensen of the Y. L. M. I. A., whose untiring efforts were largely responsible in directing the assembling of the large number of singers throught the stake and the ward leaders and their singers for their faithful attendance to the rehearsals in spite of the very bad weather that has prevailed during the past month. The fact that Professor Richard Condie has participated in the training and will conduct, personally, the chorus, besides appear in the concert with two solo renditions, is ampie guarantee of its unqualified success.
