Friday, November 21, has been set aside as the day when all parents will visit the grades. Parent-teache- rs Hawkins, scout executive for the Bryce Canyon Council, was among those present. Mr. Hawkins gave a lengthy address to the scouts. He outlined the work that was expected of a real scout and praised the members present for the great interest that was being shown. Henry E. Beal, president of the Bryce Canyon council, with headquarters at Richfield, was also present and gave the scouts a splendid address on education. Several by songs appropriate the Salina Lions quartet, enlivened the meeting. The invocation at the opening was given by J. A. Christensen and at the conclusion Bishop Levi Sorenson pronounced the benediction. Mart Declares He Is Blameless Ernest Herbert of this city, takes exceptions to the allegations made by the Richfield paper relative to the auto collision at Richfield on October 28, when it is said that Herbert drove right into the Hunt car. At the ac- cident Maxine Poulson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Poulson, was quite badly injured and Herbert declares he was not in the wrong, and explains his side in the following letter addressed to the Reaper: I was travelling north on Main street when I came to a group of children, (not one boy as was stated) who were standing on the pavement. When I signalled for them to move they paid no attention and I was forced to pass to the left. I was not at any time so near the left side of the road but that there was plenty of space for a car to pass. After passing the children I turned back to the right and held my side of the road. As I made the turn the Hunt car was of a block away fully three-fourtcoming south. He threw his car to the the east taking the left side of his road. I crowded the right side of the patement thinking he would collect himself and turn to his right. I coiuld have easily avoided colliding with him if I had dared turn to the left, but if both cars had turned at the same time some of the children he had with him would surely have been killed. I did not turn and drive into his car as was stated but his car hs Glee Club PARENTS DAY AT HIGH SCHOOL Boost The Boy Scout movement in Salina was given a good boost Wednesday evening when the troops from the Salina First and Second wards, and troops from Redmond and Sigurd gathered and gave demonstrations of the various duties expected from scout members. The young boys, though new in the movement, entered into the spirit and throughout did manly and creditable work. In addition to the members of the several troops, several of the citizens interested in the work were present and gave the lads encouragement. W. B. GOVERNMENT , of hard times was badly mutilated Monday of this week when the. Gunnison Sugar company scattered $156,000 approximately among the beet growers of the factory district. Wall street would have been a secondary sight for a busy place as compared with this section when the beet checks were distributed. Notes, interest and other obligations were paid and the beet grower was wearing a big smile that made the world look bright. As usual the Gunnison Sugar company was the first of all the cbmpanies in the state to make the first payment and only for the crowded condition at the local factory office, the payment would have been made last Friday, eight days before the schedule time. The money just distributed and in round numbers $155,833, and for beets alone, comprised the flat payment of $6.00 fdr approximately 26,000 tons of sugar beets delivered during the month of October. There is yet quite The backbone week at school in fact it even went' so far as to ask permission to have the students remain at home one day in order that the parents might be students, with students experiences. This method of getting parents to school has proven highly successful in many districts, but school officials deemed it inadviseable to attempt it. This effort to get parents to school is an evidence that the faculties of the school are much concerned about getting parents to visit the schools on any day, and particularly the days from November 17 to 21, inclusive. American Education Week will be observed in all the small hamlets as well as the largest centers of the United States. Its purpose is to focus the attention of the whole nation upon the importance of education, The United States Bureau of Educa- tion, the National Educational asso- -' ciation, the American Legion, and all other patriotic arid civic organizations join forces everywhere in the promotion of Education Week. The following is the splendid program that has been outlined by the committee appointed by C. Ray Evans and the high school faculty. Everyone interested in higher education and the advancement of the schools to a loftier plane, are cordially invited to attend any and all sessions: Gunnison Sugar Company Makes First Beet Payment (Continued on page 4) FOR GOD AND COUNTRY DAY Sunday, November 23.

With the Cuban sugar crop falling short and with a general shortage of sugar throughout the United States owing to a failure in the beet crop in many sugar beet sections, there is every indication that the price of sugar will raise very materially. In this event and with the present sugar market condition, it is indicated that ed the growers will share in another substantial payment later on, and that by the time of the final settlement it is conservatively estimated that an additional $150,00 will be paid to the growers of the Gunnison Sugar company district. Notwithstanding the fact that the district suffered more or less from the drouth and shortage of water, the average in tonnage and sugar content is holding up comparatively well and will run far ahead of the beet districts in the northern part of the state. 4 444 4- - fiicBfieliiaiis 4 t E APPROACH that season of the year when it has been the custom of the American people to give thanks for the good fortune which the bounty of Providence, through the generosity of nature, has visited upon them. It is altogether a good custom. It has the sanction of antiquity and the admiration of our religious convictions. In acknowledging the receipt of Divine favor, in contemplating the blessings which have been bestowed upon us we shall reveal the spiritual strength of the nation. The nation has been marked by a continuation of peace whereby our country has entered into a relationship of better understanding with all the other nations of the earth. Ways have been revealed to us by which we could perform very great service through the giving of friendly council, through the extension of financial assistance and through the exercise of a spirit of neighborly kindliness to less favored peoples. We should give thanks for the power which has given into our keeping, with which we have been able to render these services to the rest of mankind. At home we have continually had an improving state of the public health. The production of our industries has been large and our harvests have been bountiful. We have been remarkably free from disorder and remarkably successful in all those pursuits which flourish during a state of domestic peace. An abundant prosperity has overspread the land. We shall do well to accept all these favors and bounties with a becoming humility, and dedicate them to the service of the righteous cause of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. As the nation has prospered, let all the people show that they are worthy to prosper by rededicating America to the service of God and Man. Therefore I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, hereby proclaim and fix Thursday, the 27th day of November, as a day for national thanksgiving. I recommend that the people gather in their places of worship and at the family altars, and offer up their thanks for the goodness which has been shown to them in such a multitude of ways. Especially I urge them to supplicate the Throne of Grace that they may gather strength from their tribulations, that they may gain humility from their victories, that they may bear without complaining the burdens that shall be placed upon them, and that they may be increasingly worthy in all ways of the blessings that shall come to them. In witness thereof, I hereunto set my hand and cause to be affixed the great seal of the United States. Done at the City of Washington, this 5 th day of November, in the year of our Lord 924, and of the independence of the United States 49th. CALVIN COOLIDGE. (Seal) , By the President. CHARLES E.

Upon arrival the excursionists first were taken to the dining tent where an excellent prepared and very sumptious luncheon was served, the officers of the company acting as hosts. Immediately thereafter, general manager, H. E. Lewis took those present all over the place explaining the work done, the prospects for a great future for the company and the county and its people, and giving all the necessary information in his usual concise and clear manner. From previous reports our readers are well informed about everything done and expected by the company, and in a general way there is little to be added to what we have said in before. our columns Regarding particulars, however, it is really surprising what great amount of work has been accomplished since our editor saw the place only four weeks ago.

It was ladies night at the regular luncheon meeting and the affair proved to be the real social function of the season. Some seventy-two Lions and Lion Tamers were at the Main cafe, where the present banquet was given and throughout the feast merriment and good humor prevailed and there was never a growl. President Leo Merrill of the Salina Lions club, in a few of his choice and ploquent remarks, made the address of welcome. lie extended to the ladies present, a cordial greeting and bade all join in the merriment. Following the welcome addressthe Lions quartet gave one of its splendid selections. Lion R. D. Richardson instilled mirth and delighted the banqueters with a comic stunt and was warmly applauded. A soprano and tenor solo, by Mrs. C. Ray Evans and lion J. C. Jensen, and a cornet solo by G. M. Wright, were also amog the pleasing numbers. Not until last evening was it known that Lion II. B. Crandall, was a soloist, and his hundreds of friends who heard him are urging that he forsake the banking business and seek engagements with some of the big opera companies of the east. Lion Crandall, with a sweet and melodious voice, rendered the pathetic little melody entitled Oh, You Lions, in the key His hearers were held spellof Z, bound and at the conclusion the applause was deafening. Lion A. J. Lewis, famed for hi3 clever readings, also came in. for honors with the rest on the program. Lion Lewis gave a humorous reading and , though he stutters a little his hosts of friends were ready to pass the flowers, but they had. been for-- t gotten. Lion M. I. Oveson, the nightingale of North Sevier, in his usual clever way, roared a solo and won the plaudits of the banqueters. A selection by the Lions quartet concluded the banquet program and the crowd adjourned to assemble at the Salina .Opera house where a dance had been aranged for. The dancing hall was crowded to capacity and visitors were present from Gunnison, Richfield, Redmond, Aurora and other adjqinirg cities. The dance was continued well into the early hours of this morning and at the conclusion the ladies, wlro had been the special guests, declared the Salina Lloim club royal enter tainers. ; ! i 1 j i j j j j j i Wins Packard Coupe, son of Hugh Bird, the Mr. and Mrs. George A.
