The maximum price is $20 a ton, loose on the farm collected and situated ready to load. This means where it is so collected that the wagon on which it is loaded need not be moved in the process of loading, which would be in the stack or barn. Where a certificate signed by a state or federal hay Inspector is supplied, the following maximum prices can be charged: Alfalfa hay, Grade No. Grade No. 1, $22.50, 2, $20.00. Alfalfa green or leafy hay, No. 2, $21.50. -- Alfalfa extra leafy hay, No. 1, 25.50; No. 2, $22.00. There is an allowance of two and three dollars a ton, for reselling, and to retailers there is an allowance of three dollars a d ton where sold in less than lots. In all cases the dealer or seller will be actually allowed the cost of transportation, in addition to the base price established for that particular class of purchaser, retailer, or dealer. It is noted that some persons have been bidding above the maximum price for hay, in the immediate vicinity of Tremonton and it should be pointed out that such persons are as much in violation of the regulation as the seller. This regulation was necessitated by just such action as has been brought to the attention of the Price Panel. The Price Panel is requesting all persons to comply with this regulation. It should be pointed out that this Is an upper limit, and people ' are entitled, and encouraged to sell below ceiling price whenever posoar-loa- sible.

Pioneer Couple To Hold Open House Next Sunday One of Garland's foremost pioneer couples, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur R. Capener, in whose home a group' of citilens met and selected the name of the town in which they were to live, Sunday July 11 from 3 to 9 will hold open house for their friends, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of their wedding. Arthur R. Capener and Mary Larelda Cam were married July 12, 1893 in the Salt Lake Temple. They made their home at what was to be the town of Garland, on a homestead on which the young man had filed two years previously. The development of the Bear River Valley had hardly begun at that time and there was not a single home on the site of Garland, a city now of about 1000 people. During their first winter on the homestead Mrs. Capener declares no one passed their door for more than four months. The growth of the business and social life of the valley and city from these early beginnings to the very present has seen the couple in active participation. Mr. Capener, besides taking time for an L. D. S. mission to the Northern States in his early married life, was for 12 years a Sunday School superintendent, has served as bishop of the Garland ward for nine years, as a counselor in two stake presidencies, as a high councilman and as a president of the stake high priests' quorum. In civic affairs he has been no less active. He was a mayor of Garland for 10 years and also a member of the Box Elder county board of commissioners. Mr. and Mrs. Capener both are still active members of Garland civic organizations. As one of the more successful farmers of the valley, Mr. Capener has also taken an active part in related businesses and organizations. . Mrs. Capener has worked in the ward Primary and Relief Society and served as president of the latter organization for 17 years. She was also president of the county women's Farm Bureau for five years, president of the Garland Daughters of Utah Pioneers, and of the Garland Ladies' Self Culture Club. A large family will participate in the celebration of the wedding anniversary of their parents. Living children of the couple are: Mrs. Paul Fairchild, Los Angeles, California; A. Dean Capener, Garland; Verna Whalen, Ventura, California; Mrs. D. C. Hobbs, Roscoe, California; Mrs. R. M. Bone, Tremonton; Mrs. N. Homer Hansen, Salt Lake City; Mrs. D. K.

FORTY-TW- O State Places Quarantine on Dogs in Box Elder County Box Elder county has been placed under quarantine for rabies by the State Commissioner of Health, William M. Mckay. Two dogs have recently died of rabies or hydroprobia in Garland and Tremonton. These rabid dogs bit a number of other dogs and some stock before they were killed. Three humans were also bitten, forcing them to take the Pasteur prophylactic treatment, consisting of fourteen daily injections or "shots." A number of cattle, pligs, and other animals were bitten by the same dogs. Some of the pigs and cattle have already died of rabies and DAYS PROGRAM Public Meeting Well Attended; Chairman Expresses Thanks others may still develop it. To control the spread of rabies in this area It will be necessary to keep all dogs on leash at all times, muzzled, or kept in the owner's yard. Until this quarantine is lifted the local law enforcing officers will shoot all stray or tramp dogs on sight. Cows, pigs, and other animals known or suspected of being dog bitten should be placed in a corral and kept under observation for the following number of days: Horses, 28 to 56 days; pigs, 14 to 21 days; dogs, 21 to 40 days;, cows, 28 to 56 days; goats and sheep, 21 to 28 days. Rabies (hydrophobia) Is an acute infection of the brain due to a specific virus. Clinically, the disease It attended by hyperexcit-abilit- y which end3 in fatal paralysis. In the dog, the stage of excitement causes the furious rabies, during which the animal may run great distances and snap at whatever it encounters. As the infection progresses, paralysis and ultimately death ensues. In some instances, the disease passes directly to the paralytic form without the period of excitability, thus producing the "dumb rabies" or dogs. The salivation and drooling, coupled with apparent aversion to water, are due to paralysis of the muscles of swallowing. Rabies Is always fatal in man and almost Invariably so in animals, though, very rre Instances of recovery have Horse Killed, Boy Escapes The fact that even under wartime restrictions, people can have a delightful celebration, was evidenced last Monday when the people of Tremonton and surrounding towns gathered to observe the birthday of our nation. Under the general direction of the American Legion and Auxiliary, from the time the parade started until nightfall, the entertainment was ample to satisfy all comers. A large crowd gathered at the First Ward Chapel to hear a most pleasing patriotic program, with George E. Larsen, of Spanish Fork, state commander of the American Legion, as principal speaker. One of the interesting events held in connection with the of the Fourth of July, was the Little Princess contest. Little Miss Jolene Conger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Conger, was chosen Little Princess from a group of twenty lovely little girls. Her attendants were Sydna Jensen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eph Jensen, and Trixie Bjorn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Bjorn. The committee in charge of the contest appreciate the work of the mothers andall who assisted in putting over the contest and miniature parade. The participation of the club organizations, firemen, city marshall, business houses, American Legion, high school band, Boy Scouts and all the children who took part made the parade the success it was. The following prizes were awarded: club3 and organizations, Lions and Second Ward Primary; business houses, Cowleys and decorated bicycles, Lund Taylor; tricycles, Carmen Hall, Duane Bunnell and Billy Wood-headoll buggies, Glenna Richardson and Sandra Hales; costumed children, Judy Huss and (Continued On Page Two) ee s Safe-way- s; d; Duglas Christensen, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.
