Salt Lake City. The 1926 sugar beet acreage in Utah is about the same as last year, but in Idaho there is a reduction of approximately 10,000 acres, it is noted in the sugar beet forecast issued recently by Frank Andrews, Utah statistician with the department of agriculture. The Utah acreage this year is calculated at acres, the area harvested last fall. 0 Idahos 1926 erpp will come from acres, whereas the 1925 acreage 71,-00- 0, 29,-00- was 38,000 acres. Salt Lake City. Plans to do betterment work amounting to about $5000 to cover the expense of the work was received and the work will begin at once. It is planned to widen the road portant is the triangular between publisher, advertiser and public. Once It ceases, publishing, merchandising and buying all languish and the wheels of progress stop. When It Is considered that there are 0 45,000,000 copies of each Issue of newspapers entering every home, office and workshop of the land, we begin to realize the vastness of this We begin also to sense the extent of the constantly renewed Influence which brings our millions of people Into continuous conscious touch with each other. If it be true that modern conditions of life have created the modern newspaper, It Is no less true that the newspaper has played a leading role In creating modern conditions of life. This has been the case as to habits of thought, political developments and matters of religion, science and culture, but It has been true Ih even greater degree In the field of materlnl progress. ' When a carrier leaves a paper on a doorstep it may not occur to him that he Is playing a part In the economic life of his town, but so It Is, for to each Individual subscriber he Is really delivering the market place of the community. Follow a newspaper Into any home. Here are gathered the members of the family circle father, mother and children. Within a few hours each will read It and for each there mu$t be that which he Is most Interested in reading. To this wealth of Information each member of the family will respond and each In his peculiar way. Only to one part of the newspaper will there be any degree of common response because that part has a universal appeal. That part is the advertising columns. In these, could the editor view the reception of the paper, he would find that others the adver- were supplementing his labors 13,-40- save his sight. Regular G. O. P. Not Disturbed by providing for tastes and needs outside his province. There Is another Important aspect of the newspaper ns the market place of the community which Is often overlooked; that is, the saving of time. Instead of trudging from store to store In search of clothing, shoes or any of the numerous other articles of modern commerce, the consumer turns Instinctively to the advertising columns of the newspnper for information to guide him by the most direct route to the desired product. Thus wasted time Is eliminated. As the market place of the community the advertising columns of the newspnper yield even greater values, which, while ultimately social in their outcome, are founded upon a firm economic basis. For example. If America has become It is due In a nation of large measure to the persistence with which the desire for home ownership has been stimulated through newspaper advertising. A man with property to sell might rub elbows with several possible customers In the course of ten minutes walk, but he could not buttonhole them one after another, for busy modern life does not permit It. Rut finally the real estate merchant awakened to the fact that all these were alike In one unlabeled passers-bwere newsthey respect Important paper readers. Similarly, In the field of banking and In the promotion of Individual thrift the advertising and news columns of the American newspaper have worked a magic transformation. Compare the atmosphere of the average bank today with that a quarter of a century ago, before the banker had come to ceullze that the newspaper was a market place. The public utility field offers still another striking example of how the newspaper ns the market place of the community has been utilized not only to sell goods and service but to promote popular understanding and good will. It has been estimated that newspaper advertising has shortened by one-hal- f the process of selling the services of such utilities. As In the case of banks there has come a complete transformation in the attitude of the public utilities toward the public and In that of the public e toward them.

The feud reached a climax when Floyd Allen, one of the leaders of the clan, forcibly freed twoof his nephews who had been arrested. Allen was arrested and brought to trial. He was convicted and sentenced to spend a year in prison.

The Allen and Edwards feudist3 were uninjured, except for Floyd Allen, who was wounded in the body. Six of them were tried for murder after armed posses captured them. Two Later Freed. Floyd Allen and his son, Claude, died in the electric chair. Four others of the clan were sentenced to prison. Four years ago, however, friends of the Allen and Edwards families made an investigation. They pointed to the fact that sentiment had changed and that, anyway, it never was proved who started the fight. Two of the prisoners, Sidna Edwards and Friel Allen, were freed. The other two, Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, remained in prison until freed by Governor Byrd. And then ended the Hillsville tragedy. The American newspaper Is, by Its very nature, a local institution, Its own community's mirror, voice, market place and lender. But, just ns America Is a national community, composed of thousands of local centers, so the American press as a whole is a unit formed by nearly 14,001 local papers which reflect the national life. In this capacity newspapers together economic servperform a nation-wid- e ice comparable to that performed by Coneach for Its own community. nected up for the transmission and exchange of news they form a national market place In which knowledge of the goods of any locality may be found.

Salt Lake City. The revised estimate of tommercial onion acreage in Utah is given as 800 acres, compared with 500 acres in 1925, in the truck crop news bulletin of the department of agriculture. Yields were exceptionally high for onions in 1925 and the carlot movement amounted to 569 cars. It is expected that between 700 and S00 cars will be needed to move the Utah onion crop this season. naval depot. lected from the west by Washington on the one phase of politics that is most acute, is to the effect that the administration and the regular Republican party has no occasion for grave These reports say that apprehension. the backers of the Ilaugen farm relief bill are, as a whole, In a state of Indecision about what to do now; and that as to some of the most important individuals In the group, they are in a state of outright dissent from all suggestions for continuing the fight. Meantime, the other farm leaders, who have always favored the perfection of cooperative marketing as the best form of farm relief, are taking energetic steps to strengthen existing associations, organize new ones, and bring all into unity. This work is being stimulated from Washington, where a new division of cooperative marketing has been set up In the department of agriculture. In a wider sense, the crystalized policy of the administration is to assume that all the debate about other forms of farm relief Is over and done. canyon. check for $2565 from Boxelder county to cover its portion of the cost of constructing the bridge on the project.

Kaysville and the country to the south and east were visited by another flood Thursday evening, the first time in the history of the community that two floods have been suffered within three days.

Northern Utah was drenched Thursday night with a rain calcu. lated to benefit argiculture Reports reaching Ogden were that the rain extended into adjoining counties and was heavy enough to do great good to the parched crop lands.
