Twenty-li- school districts in the state ght ipent more per child than did Davis 1 ! county. Bis conclusion was that either Davis county is not spending enough money In its educational system or the rest of the state la spending too much. . With thia economical administration he reported that the scholast- ic standing of the ' is above the average in most all ' competitive activities.

Blood, from Davis. Salt Ike, Weber. Millard, Utah ard other counties of the state made the formal announcement that his name would be placed before the Democratic convention as a candidate for governor. The statement was made last Thursday. Mr. Flood has been mentioned in connection with this office for several months, but until the present has been silent on the subject. We have repeatedly, said a formal statement from the committee which made the announcement, urged Henry IL Blood to state his position with reference to the Democratic nomination for governor. In our endeavors to Obtain an expression, we have learned that there was no personal desire on the part of Mr. Blood to enter the race. We have pointed out, however, that it is not always wise to set personal desires as a bar to ac ceptance of public duty. Recognising this fact, Mr. Bldod has authorized us to announce that he is willing to enter the contest and to carry on a campaign for the nom ination. In announcing the candidacy of Mr. Blood, we feel that we are doing a distinct public service. We recognize in Mr. Blood a man of integrity and ability, capable of serving impartially the many interests of our state. We shall wage a vigorous battle in the expectation of procuring his nomination and election. The statement was signed in behalf pf,W. W. Armstrong, A. S. Brown, Joshua Greenwood, E. O, Muir, Albert Barton, E. B. Gregory, David F. Smith, J. William Knight, Thomas N. Taylor, A. C. Smoot, J. C. Swenson, Alex J. W. Gillman, Daniel Stevens, D. S. Dorrity, G. A. Gibbs, Robert IL Hinckley, Ray L. Olson and Valentine Gideon. Mr. Blood is a native of Davis eounty, son of pioneer parents, and has spent practically all his life in Kaysville. He trained early in business, and later became the moving spirit of the Kaysville company and of various other corporations active in upbuilding Davis county and the state. Mr. Blood was drawn early Into public life and activity, though he had held comparatively few public offices until Governor Simon Bamberger appointed him, in 1917, as a member of the first public utilities commission of Utah. He held that post for four years, and after a year in private life waa named by Governor Charles R. Mabey as Democratic member of the state road commission, selected in 1922. Soon after the election of Governor Dem, Mr. Blood became chairman of this commission, and he haa retained that office pince, during a period when the commission has been easily the greatest construction agency in the state.

Hatch, Bountiful KAYSVILLE the , 1 . - d, ternate; Farmington llorton C. KAYSVILLE New milk prices were put into effect Wednesday by the Salt Ijike Milk Producers association. The price will be 12 quarts for $1, tickets or tokens purchased in advance, nine cents per lf quart charge, and six and cents These prices will remain in effect for the rest of the year. Store trade will vary from as low as four cents to nine cents, wholesale, subject to the individual action of the store managers. Greater uniformity is expected toward the end of the week in the store trade, however, possibly eight cents per quart although there is no agreement with the stores. These prices were made effective following the milk war that has been waging In Salt Lake for the last, few weeks. The producers association has been demanding and receiving 45 cents per pound for their butterfat, and the distributors association has been holding out for a 35 cent rate. A. B. Barton, president of the Salt Lake Milk Producers association, and W, J. Myers, assistant manager, issued this statement: In reference to the statement of E. W. Brainard, president of the Salt Lake Milk Distributors' association, that it is impossible to pay the producers 45 cents per pound of butterfat, we declare it is possible to pay the producers one-ha- 45 cents. On the price, the produc er receives a net return of 2 4 cents per quart on milk of 3.5 but terfat content, or 25 cents per 100 pounds of milk. Hauling milk to lf the distributor costs cent per quart, thus making the cost to the distributor 2 4 cents per quart at this plant Thia aama milk is retailed for 12 quarts for $1.00, or 8 3 cents per quart leaving a difference of 5 2 cents per quart for the distributor on recents per quart tail sales and on wholesale sales. In the present day of lowered costa and wages the best figures show costs of pas teurixing, handling and distributing at 4 to 4 2 cents per quart retail and 2 2 cents wholesale. 45-ce- nt 1-- Miller, Miss Divetta Steed, L.
