Salina took the lead from the very start, and from that time on had no trouble in carrying a lead until the finals. In the first league game between Salina and Richfield, the local boys took a defeat by a close margin, and naturally they were smarting under the licking. The victory was regarded as a big one, as the county seaters had gone through three games and were perched on top with 1..000 (Continued on last page) devaluated American dollar, is the same old 10 dimes or 100 cents for domestic buying, according to a dispatch from New York City. ' Yesterday a dollar in a New1 York market bought a pound of sirloin steak, a dozen eggs, a quart, of milk and three loaves of bread, with one cent left over. It will do the same thing today and tomorrow- Theres a bit of a catch in the foregoing, however, that would be well worth considering. If things work out as the administration hopes they will, prices will rise, and then the dollar will buy less than it does today. Gov- emment economists explain that by saying that the present dollar is worth much more than 100 cent's in terms of 1926 prices, and they want to bring back prices that prevailed then which would make the dollar ' worth 100 cents. The only persons who need to give the current gold orders deep consideration are those who deal in foreign exchange, such as exporters, importers, traders in foreign securities and travelers. Our dollar used to buy 25 Vi French francs, but now it only buys 15Vi francs, and so on through the list of foreign currencies. . Thus it is clear that .mporters suf- fer, since, they must pay higher prices for foreign goods. Exporters, the other hand, are out nothing, since the foreigners pay for the goods in dollar terms at current exchange' What happens to .$100 in the bank? A. Nothing directly. Ordinary business transactions will continue as usual, but :i moderate' rise in prices of goods the dollar will buy might take place in the future. The present paper or silver dollar will continue to be exchangeable for 100 and be legal tender for all debts as for Q. ed . tm'erly. Q.

Parent-Teach- reruling 'on the duction agreement permits all' hog producers, regardless of their base production average,' to qualify for hog reduction payments by reducing their litter average and production of hogs for- market by not less than 25 per cent, according to Director William Peterson of the U. S. A. C. ex' tension service, who is manager of the AAA 'for Utah. The original ruling specified that if litter- - average was less the 1932-3than three, farmers signing the agreement were not required to reduce hog production in 1934, hnd in any event were not eligible to receive any hog reduction payments' under the agreement. The change was made in consideration-of an unexpected interest in the program among farmers producing an average fewer than three littefs per year, and to give these farmers an opportunity to share in the proceeds from the processing tax which is collected, on the slaughtering of all hogs for market, regardless of by whom. sold. At the' same time, regulation 'was announced exempting farmers from paying the processing tax on 300 pounds or less of hog products sold or exchanged in a marketing year, and derived from hogs of their own raising which they have butchered, providing that their total volume' of hog- products so sold or exchanged does not exceed 1000 pounds per marketing year.. If the volume exceeds 1000 pounds the producer loses his exemption. County agents have detailed information regarding the benefit payment contracts of plan under the. the. AAA. They will gladly explain the provisions of the plan to anyone who makes .inquiry, Director Peterson said.

Farnsworth, state secretary of education; Miss Hazel Brockbank, state primary supervisor, and Miss Etta Scorup, state supervisor of domestic economy. Acting upon a suggestion from Superintendent Ashman, who is a member of the state board of education, the teachers and board have petitioned Utahs senators and congressmen and President Roosevelt to' come to the financial aid of the schools in the state. In all rural sections the term has been shortened considerably in the past three or four years. Letters, petitions, telegrams, have also been sent to the national capitol by the city of Salina, by the presidents of civic clubs in behalf of their clubs, nnd by prominent citizens. I. B. machinery and working crews, there would be no delays in hurrying the bridges to completion, which will be from two to three months. The two bridges, built several years ago, were too narrow for safety, and the state road commission decided on substituting standard bridges. The new struc ures will be built of cement throughout, and will conform to the standard type, in keeping with the policy of the state road commission. Each bridge will be 55 feet long and 30 feet wdde. Guard rails on either side will be of cement and in ornamental design. Two shifls will be employed, Mr. Bunity stated, and altogether 30 men will be employed on the job. Fifty per cent of the men will be from Salina, 25 per cent each from Redmond and Aurora. The regulation wages of 50 cents an hour for common labor and 60 cents an hour for skilled labor will be paid. Paul Wood-bur- n is to have charge of the work.

The same boyish tendency seems to prompt a great many of us to peg a boulder at the NRA at every opportunity, because it is so big one cant miss. We ourselves must admit that we are not entirely above criticism on that score, but when we bring ourselves up short and look bock to the winter and spring of this year, and compare our situation now with it was then, we realize quickly enough that whatever has happened the score to date has been good, and they still pay off on the score. on automoThe first biles worked every once in a whil",' but none of us would be without one today. In fact, the first automobiles only worked a portion of the time,1 and practically every new model since has had bugs in it that had to be ironed out by hard work and intelligent engineering and experience. The NRA is just about the biggest and most revolutionary machine that has ever been started and it would indeed be unique in history if it didnt have some bugs in it. We are diligently going to try to avoid unjust criticism of this great j self-starte- industrial and social revolution. We are going "to try to direct warranted criticism to the proper authorities in the administration, in a helpful manner, where it will do some good, instead of broadcasting it on the street corners to- the detriment of all, including ourselves. We are going to live. up 100 per cent to the restrictions and regulations imposed .on us when they help us wenre going to register thank you whin they hurt us we are going to have faith that the bugs will be engineered out of this great machine as rapdly as they can be corrected. We believe that our industry, our own business, the interests of our friends, our cut corners, and the American public are going to prosper under our present leadership and, regardless of any tantalizing flaws and we propose annoying growing-painto lend unqualified support to the President and his program.
