The Gunnison Valley Sugar company, ever eager to build and enlarge on the big valley plant at Center-fielannounce the coming of a modern and larger beet elevator. The machinery and equipment for this new addition is being shipped from Cleveland, Ohio, and according to advices received at the Salt Lake offices, left Pueblo, Colo., the first of this week. If nothing unforseen the happens shipment should arrive here in a few days and immediately forces will be started upon its installation. The new elevator wffll have a capacity of handling 900 tons daily and will be a valuable addition to the plant. The installation of the elevator was necessary to keep abreast with the other modern improvements made at the factory and the fast advancement made since the factory was first erected speaks volumes for the management. Today the factory has a daily capacity of 650 tons, whereas the first year it wTas only possible to slice 250 tons. In a recent interview with President Ross and Secretary Harris at the Salt Lake offices, it was learned that the lack of interest on the part of the beet growers of this valley interferred materially with further improvements at the factory. However, it is believed that another year will see greater interest and more beets planted. With the present sugar prices and with all indications of the price holding its own and even higher, said Mr. Ross, many of the growers will regret they did not plant to the limit. And those who did no planting, will even have greater regrets. It is my candid belief that the prices for beets this fall will soar near to the prices paid during the war period, and if this proves true, the beet growers will look forward instead of backwards and not compare last years prices with his object, then, and only then will he prosper. Of course many of the growers are contending that they are growing beets for the factory. It is true the factory buys them and the factory pays good for them and consequently the grower profits more from this crop than he does form any other, particularly in this valley. Next year should see fully 5000 acres within the territory of the factory. This will mean the distribution of many thousands of dollars to the farmers and this distribution means nothing but prosperity, which Gunnison Valley needs. Many men are now employed at the valley factory and the entire plant is undergoing thorough renovation and many changes are being made that will aid materially in handling the crop this fall.

It was the final settlement or maturity date of the most gigantic obligation which has ever matured in the worlds history the great y Liberty loan offering by the United States Government; during the spring of 1919. This was issued in r the shape of Victory notes, sum of the stupendous aggregating billions of dollars four and s of which drew gold, about of 4 rate inteiest at the percent per annum, compounded and the remainder at 3 per cent. The two most remarkable features of this monumental piece of Government financing were: First, the loan was nearly 17 per cent oversubscribed by the American public during the three weeks April 21 to May 10 which comprised the sales period commonly known as the Fifth Liberty loan campaign; and second, this last of our great war loans was approximately 80 per cent repaid by the Government to subscribers considerably before the money was due and payable. In short, of the $4,495,874,300 of Victory notes issued, only the comparatively small sum of about were still oustanding after surrenders in response to the Treasurys calls for redemption of the 3 per cent notes on June 15, 1922, and the 4 per cent notes (A to F) inclusive) on December 15, 1922. The great bulk of the Victory loan, therefore, was retired before maturity through cashing or refunding operations and by purchases in the open market where these securities had to take their proper place, and like other securties be subject to the law of supply and demand. The significant thing that this truly remarkable achievement emphasizes is the unquestioned value of United State Government securities because of the absolute safety of both principal and interest which have always been reguarly and promptly paid in full when due and even before due, as has been so magnificently demonstrated through the expeditious settlement of the entire Victory loan issue. It is well recognized that industry, safe savings and sound investment form the basic support and secure foundation of the business life of both the individual and state. Therefore, the interests of our vast army of small savers are very properly a matter of vital concern to our national Government. Millions d of dollars of their money are wasted and lost annually in schemes. People are generally imperfectly informed on investment matters and the lure of unusually large returns frequently results in their being victimized. Much money is also hoarded, hidden or kept in insecure places and therefore fails to perform its legitimate function through being thus withheld from circulation. The Government is particularly desirous, therefore, of getting as much as possible of the money coming back to the holders of redeemed Victory notes reinvested through purchase of the 1923 issue of Treasury Savings Certificates, which mature in five years from the date purchased and yield 4 per cent interest, compounded They are free from taxation (except local all State and estate and inheritance taxes) and the normal Federal income tax. Treasury savings certificates can be bought at all money-orde- r in denominations of $25 (for $20.50), $100 (for $82) and $1000 (for $820) from the Federal reserve bank of San Francisco or its branch and through most other banks; they are sold at a discount and so increase in The holding value every month. concern is or individual of an limit in value nay one year $5000 maturity that demonstrated has Experience the constant attention the Treasury Department has been devoting to the subject of continued thrift and systematic saving by its citizens has not only proved helpful to the sav. ings banks and kindred institutions but to the public as well.

Please send a delegation to assist us in the fight, for we are have to bear down hard on these fellows to get anything to going at all," says a communication from the chairman of the road committee, Emery county Board of Trade, to Max Cohen, president of the Salina Commercial club. Not content with depriving the southern part of the state with funds to open the gateway to Utahs, only real scenic beauties and doing little to "sell Utahs wonders to the traveling tourists, the big fellows" would now, according to reports, take all the travel through Salt Lake and across the desert bleakness and thus force But obstacles pleasure seekers to avoid what Utah has to show. are to be met by the Salt Lakers for there is surely to be war gainst any attempt to change travel from the present good route over one that is perilous at all times and entirely impassable all but a tfery few months in the year. David Williams, publisher of the Emery County Progress, and one of the staunch supporters for the present route, has jusj recently made a trip over the Castle River cutoff and according In making a report to to reports, the trip was made in 4 hours. Mr. of Williams the board stated that $1,000 would put trade, the road in as good a shape as any in that section of the country. And the citizens, generally, together with the moral and financial support from other sections, are going to plank down the $1,000 for the very purpose of making the necessary improvements. The meeting to be held at Price is likely to be one of real Salina citizens, as well as those who are supporting heat." Southern Utah, are going prepared and the rights of the southern interests will be protected. It might be said that there is little objection to Salt Lake and the northern sections getting what is due them in the way of transcontinental highways, in so far as the southern fellows are concernBut they will not sit down and let all go by without; even ined. terposing an objection and this objection is to be spoken at Price when the attempt is made to change from the present highway and over Soldier Summit. One of the strong arguments and one that will be impressive, advanced by the southern interests, will be the fact that Bryces be to canyon, Fish Lake, Little Zion and in fact all the beautiful scenery of Utah is only reached by the southern route, unless, of course, It is to be hoped a long detour is made by going to Salt Lake. broad-mindecitizens at the state capitol will show some that the Price meeting will be called off and the the and that judegment proposed idea of cutting Southern Utah off entirely will be abandoned. 1 ) (foprrtfht INF) Improve toll P.oafl Si leleiatins To Millard Mr Moil to A With a view to improving the Literary Convention of the Womens Federated clubs of Sanpete to the Millard county road leading and District was held at Sevier county line the county commissioners Fountain Green at the Community are employing some thirty teams and jHall, on May 26, with Mrs. C.
