Ward C. Hoi brook, chairman of tha commission, in nuking the announcement, said the new rutes contemplated would result in savings in excess of $150,000 a year, chiefly to small consumers of the state, and bring tho total reductions to power company customers to approximately $1,000,-00- 0 per annum in the past five- years. Members of the commission said the board would be unable to arrive at the exact extent of the reduction until the power company completes a study of revenues obtained under the low home and farm rate schedules ordered by the commission in December, 1937. They stated, in a letter to the power company, that "It is desirable that further reductions be made in mini mum charges, and also that the rate in the top brackets, which cover A portion of the usage of all consumers, might well stand further reductions." The present home and farm rate minimum charge, which the commission is undertaking to lower, is 00 cents, which includes 11 kilowatt hours. The remaining steps In the schedule are 5 cents per kvvh for tha next 26 kwh; 2.5 cents for the next 164 kwh and 1.5 cents per kwh for all additional. Mr. Ilolbrook said that when the 1937 order was made the commission anticipated that the lower rates would result in such an increase of power use that the. net result would be a revenue gain instead .of a loss. A recent report ef the company states this is wlifit happened. "It appears" ho asserted, "that in tho 12 months period ending June 30, 1939, residential and farm users of this state consumed an average of 1102 kilowatt hours or 132 kilowatt hours more than they consumed in the calendar year of 1937, which represents an average- - increase of 13.6 per cent." The commission indicated that it also is given consideration to the advisability of eductions in commercial lighting rates, but has not assembled sufficient data to indicate the extent of the reduction. George M. Gadsby, president and general manager of the power com- pany, advised Mr. Ilolbrook the com pany will give prompt attention to the commission's request. - Thrown from Horse B.E.

This represents Box Elder county farmers' share of the national wheat allotment for next year. The county allotment for next year is 9,558 acres larger than the 1939 allotment of 65,524 acres, says Mr. Larsen. This allotment represents Box Elder county wheat growers' share in the 1940 state allotment, which was recently announced as 234, 938 acres. This is about 21,500 acres larger than last year's state allotment. The county allotment in bastd on the scaled acreage of wheat in the and the ucreage period, 1920-3diverted from production of wheat un der previous agricultural adjustment and conservation programs, with adjustments for trend in acreage and abnormal weather conditions. The national wheat allotment of 02, 000,000 acres for 1910 is 7,000,000 acres larger than the 1939 allotment and is based on the acreage necessary to provide for domestic markets, granary Prts, and the reserve.

Elder Smoot, who spent 30 years as a United States Senator, brought to his hearers personal experiences rich in testimony of the divinity of the work of the L. D. S. Church and predicted its steady growth and development and urged his hearers to conform to the laws and ordinances of the gospel, to be loyal to the church and devote their time and money to its advancement. Elder Ward devoted his talks to the church welfare program and gave it as his opinion that the time would come when it would be self supporting with numerous industries that could and should be established within the state. He termed it a vital part Be Given of the church program and doctrine and urged his listeners to accept full heartedly the program and work with Some outstanding features are godiligence for its success. to be included in the Box Elder of ing the stake The Singing Mothers furnished the music for the conference County Fair and Rodeo this year, ac under the direction of Mrs. E.

Their pitchers in the final game showed the results of hard work and strain, being far below par. With one good pitcher, in addition to the home boys, Tremonton-Garlanin the opinion of many, would have today been sitting on top of the heap. d, common laborers, 2 Skilled workers, haying earned their Federal money in a few hours, could secretly work and earn else where during the month (at any wage levels they chose). This aroused jealousy, criticism. Administrator Harrington asked Congress for a "security wage" up to S96, based on regional living costs and he said, "It is my recommendation that persons employed on projects of the WPA be required to work 130 hours per month and that the earnings of such persons be on a monthly basis. . . that substantially the present national average labor cost (to WPA) be maintained." Obviously that meant more hours of work for the same pay, a,nd far below "prevailing" (union) rates for skilled labor. But Con- I my 1 NUMBER BOX ELDER FIRE!
