S. Wrtgbt, county auditor and Hied this week with J. E. Holden, state auditor, will tlita year pay 1 1,7 4 8, 5 4 5. 14 In general property taxes for all purposes. This compares with (1.B56.G77.U5 paid one year ago, and represents an increase of $191,967.59, or 12.3 per cent. about 4 per Part of the Increase cent Is due to the growth in assessed vaulo of the property within the county. The figures are this year given as $58,472,659, and those for last year $56,246, 57S. All but about $800,000 of tljls Increase came in property assessed by the state board of equalization, and Includes mines and public utilities.' This year that property was assessed at $24,030,679 as against $22,246,578 a year ago.' Owing to the increase n the state ' district school rale, as well as the increase in valuation, the total levied for state and state school purposes this year Is $432,696.42, comparing with $410,599.54 a year ago. However, In this connection it may be pointed out that, since the state road commission plans to take over the entire maintenance of,, the state road system next year, the state is able to reduce the burden on the Utah county general property taxpayer by Just about the amount of the increase in the state and state school levies. This is demonstrated in that the county found it necessary to levy only 1 mill this year for the state road system within the county,' as against 1.5 mills a year ago, and the corresponding revenues are $58,472.49 in 1925 as against $84,369.77 in 1924. Among the more important of the taxing units in. Utah county, the fol- lowing have, increased levies in spite of increases in valuation; county rate from 6.33 to 7.35; American Fork from 13 to 14 mills; Sprlngville from 14.5 to 15.5 mills. Alpine School District from 11.49 to 11,93 mills; Nebo School District from 7 to 8.2 mills; Provo school district from 10 to 10.5 . -- mills. Spanish Fork city levy will remain the same this year as last year, 18 mills. " 9 Palmyra Stake M. I. A.

Utah County to Have The Gold Rush is Booth at State Fair Chaplins Best Picture the Horticultural Building of the State Fair October 1 to 7. In the past two years, during which time Utah County has not been represented at the State Fair, there has been a marked change In the manner of displaying the county exhibits. Under the present arrangement the various counties of the same class have been assigned uniform roughed-l- n booths In which to make their disEach county uses its own plays. plan of arrangement and its own method of display in its own booth. The Judging of the booths is based upon the scoring and merit of the various products which are displayed upon the booths. In addition to the booth display, provision haa been made for growers to make their own exhibits of products. The county whose individual exhibitors win the greatest number of first prizes In this manner, will be awarded a silver loving cup. The growing season of 1925 has been unusually favorable for the production of crops of excellent quality. There Is no question about there being plenty of such products of all kinds in Utah County which would merit first prizes at the State Fair. The chief difficulty which the peo-pIn charge of the exhibit are experiencing is to have these quality products that should be displayed on the county's exhibit at the state fair. A great service will be rendered the county and the exhibits committee if the growers who have such products will please report the information to C. J. Sorenson, Fair Manager, Provo, Utah,, who will make arrangements to get the produsts and send them to the fair at Salt Lake City. After their exhibit at the State Fair some of the Utah County products will be placed on exhibit in the State Capitol Building where arrangements have been made for a special display space tor Utah countys products. Every day hundreds of tourists from all parts of the world pass thru the Capitol building, and view the exhibits which are on display there. A good representative exhibit of the various products of this county in the State Capitol will thus offer one of the best means of telling the outside world about Utah county and her wonderful natural resources, her superior agricultural products and her manufactured products, el At last the worlds foremost comedian, Charlie Chaplin, has launched his greatest comedy, "The Gold Rush on the sea of popular fancy. Announcement Is made by Manager Ike Swenton of the Angelus Theatre that he has paid the record price for any pliotoplay ever shown In Spanish Fork and that the celebrated stars new release comes here next Tuesday for three days. For sixteen months Charlie Chaplin worked on this production. During that time he was practically a hermit recluse to all, save his studio associates. Only the vaguest announcements of progress on The Gold Rush came from his studio. The factory system of movies, and the consequent mediocrity as an art have in Charlie Chaplin an example of the opposite production method in this dramaitc comedy. It has been made with the artist's necessary leisure. It was never restircted by definite schedule or methods, but inspired by Chaplin with a passion for perfection as his only taskmaster; When Chaplin works, he burrows into solitude. He broods, agonizes, sweats comedy and its dramatic counterbalance from his soul. He creates When the mood is by inspiration. upon him, he toils feverishly. Then he may rest and brood again for weeks and always when the productive throes are upon him he is sensitive to the thumpings of the outside world. Chaplin senses and expresses more than any other entertainer, the close affinity between the ludicrous and the pathetic his comedy springs from withln--mo- re as a matter of mood. Usualv he needs very little story structure to his comedy, but In The Gold Rush he has created a rugged story in which the laughter surges from the spectacle of the valiant weakling, facing the perils which strewed the paths of the early gold seekers with skeletons. In the role of a hardluck sourdough, dressed in the baggy pants, the floppy shoes, the old derby and funny eane of early association, Charlie twists the sufferings of the early Alaskan pioneers into a strange commingling of humor and tragedy. He thawa fun from the frosty forbidding background. The treatment is wholly unlike anything hitherto done, and strikes a new note in photo dramatics. Charlie Chaplins The Gold Rush contains comedy, drama, satire, melodrama, farce. Not to forget a little Slapstick and everything else in the way of entertainment all rolled into one big ten reel film. This great picture will be shown In Spanish Fork at the Angelus Theatre for the first time next Tuesday evening, and Manager Swenson has made special arrangements for the handling of the crowds. Also first aid treatment will be rendered to those overcome by laughter. time-cloc- k EWART It Is profitable for farmers not to heir sugar beet fields gel too dry at tills season of the yonr. In case the soil is beginning to dry out and gel hard or even in case It is beginning to be rattier dry, it would be wisdom to Irrigate the fields soon. Late 1r rlgntlon.has two advantages over allowing the fields to suffer for water. Most Important Is the fact that the boots continue to make considerable growth if the soil is kept moist until they are dug. In the second case digging Is usually easier in the third case the extraction of sugar Is facilitated by the beets being crisp, on which account they cut up better. Farmers, of course, are now interested in this last point and it is given here to indicate that it is to the advantage of both the farmers and the factories that beets be Irrigated or at least kept moist late in the season. Many years ago sugar factories used to hold the idea that it was not a good thing for the beets to be kept moist, but for them to dry out because this made them richer in sugar, and for a long while they urged farmers not to irrigate late in the season, but they have since come to realize that it Is profitable to have the beets taken from the moist soil. Farmers in general held the Idea that late irrigation was profitable because It increased the yields both by growth In beets and by Increasing the water content. Both these conditions are true and It la therefore advocated that the land be not allowed to lose . too much of its moisture. Late irrigation Is accompanied by some risk, for example In case late heavy storms should set In the land might become so wet as to be difficult to handle. On the average, however, this condition does not prevail and so the Utah Experiment Station advocates that farmers Irrigate beets about this time of year In case it has been some time since the water has been applied. Fortunately we are able to make this advice from a whole souled point of view, since It benefits the farmers, the factories, and also the soil. It benefits the soil by keeping the bacteria in proper working . condition. The only risk is the one mentioned, that of excessive storms about digging time. Farmers muBt, of course, take the responsibility of estimating the weather conditions, but it is the opinion of the Agronomy Department, of the Agricultural College that it is wisdom to irrigate dry soils. It is not advocated, however, that these irrigations be very heavy, merely enough to wet up the soil. Rather light applications are sufficient because of the fact that evaporation is low. let 1 For Sale Good milch cow, Ilopla, Mapleton. NT Agronomist, I'tah Experiment Hlutlon D. S.

The fair offers one of the best means by which live stock breeders, farmers, fruit growers and gardeners may show tlielr animals and various products to a consuming public, which constitutes the best kind of advertising. The success of the Utah County Fair lies mostly in the hands of Us agricultural producers. Without their products a fair could not be. It is v.y important, therefore, that the growers arrange to have their animals, and products shown at the fair. City officials in all of the towns of the county have appointed local committees to aid in taking care of each towns part in the fair. People who have anything to exhibit should get in touch with their local committee for suggestions and assistance in getting their exhibits to the fair. Late Irrigating Good Boy Scout Rally The agricultural exhibits which were displayed by Utah County producers ip the Harvest Festival last year were very excellent. During this exhibit and several times since, the writer has heard people say that they were very much surprised to see some of the products which were on display there and especially to learn that those articles were grown In Utah County. The County Fair for 1925 has been planned CJt a more extensive basis than ever before. Very substantial prizes are being offered for every entry and exhibit in all departments of the fair.
