During the past few months development has been going steadily ahead and shipments are increasing regular. Mr. Jensen stated this week that approximately thirty car loads of salt had been shipped from this point. The salt is sent as far south as Mexico and as far north as Oregon and that new orders are being received weekly for the Salina canyon product. With the immense deposit at the surface mining is comparatively easy and though only one man is employed extracting, from 15 to 20 tons are taken out every day. During the past few months, and by the first of will June, fully 1000 tons of the salt have been mined and shipped. A vast amount of the salt is used locally, and this, added to the outside to shipments brings the production a high point. A recent inspection of the big salt mine, shows it to be one of the largest deposits in the southern part of the state.

ANNIVERSARY PARTY Mrs. Max Cohen was hostess to a number of friends at an anniversary dinner party complimentary to her husband, Friday evening of last Five Hundred week. Progressive was the diversion and in the contest Prizes were won by Miss Leah Brown and F. Groussman. At a late hour a hot chicken dinner was served, covers being laid for twenty-fou- r and guests. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Parr Mrs. H. S. Basow of Gunnison, were among the outside guests present. SataJDis 2 understood that some of the members will arrange to visit Bryce canyon over the week-en- d at the completion of the trip. The first party will return to Salt Lake the Saturday after departure. Between fifty and sixty persons will make the trip, according to an estimate of Dr. R. N. Mead of the committee. J .H. Manderfield, chairman, D. L. Wortheimer and B. W. Robbins are the other members of the committee. Some musicians, be taken. will probably singers, The committee decided that there would be no business solicitation of any kind during the trip, which is designed for making acquaintances and promoting understanding. No salesman or business man may go along to solicit business or make colections. The party will wear uniform dusters, Dr. Mead said, and the men probably headgear of the same type In a letter to County Agent Dr. Mead explains the purpose of the trip as follows: It is not our plan to present ourselves, but rather to meet and hear from those interested in the things being done by the people outside of our cities that we might be better acquainted with the condidions of the productive world and be in better position when opportunity comes to foster measures that would be beneficial to the rural districts; also to enjoy hat first hand fellowship that comes only through personal contact and personal acquaintance. The tentative itinerary is given in the letter to Mr. Holmstead as follows: Leaving Salt Lake City early Tuesday, June 19, arriving in Mt. Pleasant for lunch and meeting with farmers and business men, visit three or four farms or ranches and leave for Manti with short stops at Spring City and Epraim. In Manti visit two or three farms, then supper and evening program. Wednesday, June 20, to Loa with stops in Gunnison, Salina and Sigurd, spend rest of afternoon and morning of June 21 in Wayne county with visits to Loa, Fremot, Lyman, Bicknell, Teasdale and Fruita. On Thursday, June 21, from Loa to Fishlake, stay there over night and proceed Friday, June 22, from Fishlake to Richfield, from here to visit Elsinore, Monroe, Joseph and Glenwood.

In his Mr. Judson is highly elated over his trip of inspection. letter he stated that he found Salina canyon in far better shape ic -- that fully exercises for the of the North Sevier High graduates were held in the High School auditorium last Wednesday evening. The class this year consisted of twenty graduates which is the largest yet turned out in the history of the school. A few years ago it was necessary to hold the graduation exercises for all the high schools in the Sevier district under one roof. The change is decidedly for the better. The principal speakers of the evening were Superintendent A. J. Ashman and Dr. C. N. Jensen. Mr. Ashman spoke of the desirable features of being a high school graduate. He stated that many of the professions were closed to those who could not show a high school diploma. Life might be compared to a long hallway, said Mr. Ashman. Wherein there were many doors. Each of these doors are labeled, Science, Medics, Law, Engineering, etc. To open many of these doors one must have the key high school graduation is that key. Mr. Ashman also spoke of the remarkable increase in graduating students and entertained high hopes of still greater classes for the next years. Dr. C. N. Jensen; who is now state superintendent of public instruction, was formerly a teacher in North Sevier high. He brought home to the students that learning no matter how much one had, was not the most desirable thing. To be able to meet people in a business and social way, to have good, honesty and integrity was even more important than learning. Education, said is that which you reDr. Jensen, member after you have forgotten what you have learned. In looking back and surveying the changes that had taken place in the school since the time he was here, Dr. Jensen stated he was confident that within five years, the North Sevier high school would have that building for which they have so long looked for an auditorium and gymnasiCommencement um. Miss Gail Johnson rendered the class history. Her style and manner of declamation was distinctly original and humorous. Miss Ora Lorent-ze- n as valedictorian gave a very commendable speech. After the exercises a graduation dance was held in the Social Hall.

John R. Ewles was named as chairman, and Ralp McAllister, secretary of the general committee. The ceremonies attendant upon the decoration of the graves will be held Wednesday morning at 10 oclock, and in order to avert any confusion and that ample time be given for the distibutioii of the fohvers, the committee on decoration, with Mrs. Madsen as chairman, and Mrs. Monroe Ralph McAllister and Mr. Crane as members, and the committee on the delivery of flowers, comprising Dr. Bullock as chairman, Miss Mary and Mr. Peterson, request that all flowers that can be spared be taken to the Amusement hall by 10 oclock Wednesday morning. There are some 100 or more graves in the cemetery whose identity are unknown, and it is proposed to give proper care to these and for this reason a liberal contribution of flowers is asked. At two oclock Memeorial Day, appropriate exercises will be held at the Amusement hall and for this occasion the following program has been arranged: Mc-Cal- lu Opening Choir Song Invocation. M.

Humphrey Impressive funeral services were held from the First ward chape! last Friday afternoon for Rudolph Bird, a former resident of the city, but who more recently had been living at Albany, California. Eulogistic addresses and high tributes, together with appropriate music, marked the features of the funeral services. Rudolph Bird was born in Switzerland 47 years ago. Later he came to America with his parents and resided here for many years and became well and favorably known. When his health failed him he went to Pasadena, Calif., entering a sanitarium where he received treatment. For many months past his health has been poorly and it is believed that an attack of flu, superinduced by a Weakened body, was the cause of his death. Mr. Bird leaves no family, but is survived by three brothers and two sisters. Two of the brothers, John and Ernest Bird, are well known in Salina, having been residents here for many years. Albeit Bird and Mrs. Maiy Heighten, surviving brother and sister, reside at Missoula, Mont., while the other living sister, Mrs. Alice Weed, is a resident of Payson. than at any time since the fall of 1921. He expressed surprise at the vast amount of improvements that had been made in the canyon and stated that it would reflect credit upon the county through which the highway passes. "The highway from Emery to Price is 00 per cent better The than I have ever seen it, continues Mr. Judson in his letter. gravel ioad for about 12 miles south of Price is wonderful. Carbon county is continuing the gravelling of the road east from Price and 1 understand are going to make the Pikes Peak highway a fine gravel road all the way across the county.

Announcement by tfie Utah Health association that the Salina public school was victorious was received soon after the awards were made and the students and instructor are to be congratulated by the achievement. Cn'y 198 schools in the United States were prize winners, and Utah leads all western states With the great with one exception, odds and considering that Salina is comparatively small the victory is regarded as extraordinary and all participants are to be congratulated. Miss Lohree Nowers was the leader in the crusade work. The National trophy is expected to arrive here within the next week or so and when it does come it will be given a prominent place in the pubnt lic school building. The woik of organizing and directing the modern health crusade, which consists of the performance of ten daily health chores for a period of fifteen weeks, is one of the activities of the Utah Public Health association. Especial attention has been to extending the value of this given health movement among the schools of the state this year, so that the excellency of the work done would Factor With a splendid beet crop stand throughout the valley and now that all danger from serious injuary by frost or elements is past, growers are planning for extra care of the fields and all are looking forward to a bumper harvest this fall. Cooperating with the growers, the officials of the Gunnison Valley factory are lending every aid that will bring the highest results both from a point of tonnage and quality. Experimentations in other sections relative to thinning beets, and especially the fields in the Colorado sections, have proven that this attention is vitally important and brings A. C. highly gratifying results. Maxson, in charge of the Longmont Experimental farm, for the Great Western Sugar company, has compiled some statistics that will prove of value to the growers of this valley, and if followed will surely result in increased tonnage: THIN BEETS EARLY Beets thinned when they had 4 to 6 leaves produced 19.3 tons per acre. In the same field sown the same day as the above but thinned 20 days later when the plants had 12 to 16 leaves, produced but 14.3 tons per acre. LEAVE LARGE PLANTS When the largest plants at thinning time produced at the rate of 20 tons per acre the smallest in the same field produced but 8.28 tons per acre. LEAVE BEETS FROM 10 to 14 bring national recognition to Utah.

A beet every foot should be fifth grades of the schools of Cache, the aim. North Sanpete, Jordan and Logan City schools. According to James II. Wallis, who is health crusade director for the state, the results have exceeded the most sanguine expectations. SUPERVISE THINNING The stand left depends more upon growers instructions than upon germination stand. The hand labor will leave a stand about 2 inches wider than instructed on the average.
