George Goethals, Chief of the division of purchase, storage ' and traffic of the general staff of the Army, has commissioned Arthur A. Hammerschlag, President of the Carnegie Institute, and Lieut. Col. J. . McIntosh, Subsistence Division, Q. M. C., N. A., to with the Chicago packers in experiments which may save up to 40 per cent of the tremendous cargo space now required for shipping fresh beef., President Hammerschlag and Col. McIntosh have already reached the stock yards and the experiments have begun. The experiments contemplate not only the conservation of shipping space, but also the problem of having the packages small enough to he handled by the class of labor available at unloading ports overseas and the quick and convenient issue at supply depots in France. .. They range from the meye cut tiAg of the carcass into more convenient sizes and shapes to the entire boning of the carcass to be packed in boxes. It 'is estimated that if the plans prove practicable a saving of from 15 to 40 per cent of the'room now used in transporting the same amount of beef will be made possible. Since fresh beef constitutes a considerable part of some 350,000,000 pounds of beef and pork products now sent monthly to allied countries the saving by the new method may prove to be considerable if found practical. The bones and surplus fats salvaged by the operation will be converted into various The chief difficulties encountered so far have been the necessity of obtaining enough labor sufficiently FARMERS KiLL HUN STARVATION PLAN Opens Chicago, enthusiastic meeting last Thursday evening at m house for the the 3rd ward meeting for volunteers purpose of enlisting Guard of Utah.

Saturday morning, Sept. 28th, at 10 a. m., the gates will open on Utahs 40th annual state fair, which is promised by the directors to be the biggest and best fair in the history of the state. The work of preparing the buildidgs and grounds was well under way Friday and the secretarys office was removed to the fair grounds and the directors and supervisors will be on duty in their various departments until the fair is over. The formal opening ceremonies will be held Monday evening, immediately following the big "Fer-war- d Victory peagant. held, to mark the joint opening of the Lib erty loan drive and the state fair. Combined with the program for the opening of the fair will be the Lib- erty Loan Mass meeting, with Captain Edwards of the British army as speaker. This feature is under the direct supervison of the state council of defense. The program will consist of the regular opening ceremonies, and will be given at 2 oclock in the colliseum, which is being provided with 6000 seats. The state fair division of the Forward to Victory pageant is completed, and a series of floats, picturing events and conditions of timely interest and the various activities of the fair will be represent- True, British and American hunted the submarine; American shipbuilders launched fleets whose sheer numbers made it impossible for the Hun sub-seterrors Jo sink all of them; British land conscription turned hundreds of thousands of acres of parks and hunting preserves into areas; Hoover and American food economy saved millions of bushels of wheat and shiploads of meat for fighting men and civilians in France .and England.

Midgley, of this city, from her son Virgil, who is with the 145th Field Artillery, Utah Battery C., just recently landed in England: Dear Mother: I guess you have been expecting to hear from me and to now how I am getting along. Well, 1 landed safely and am feeling fine. We had a very nice trip coming over, but was glad when we got here. We never seen anything like .a submarine on the trip, and was not a day; I believe it was because we had good weather all the way, except the last couple of days, when it rained a little; but we are having nice weather now. It is quite a change to come from America over here to England; the people all 'seem so different and the towns are built different and have a different appearance. I can hardly realize that we have come so far from home as we have. I am not able tell you very much as all the mail is censored now. I dont-knowhether I will be able to see Harvey or not; I may see him if we should get stationed near the place he is at. It sure looks funny here to see the people all traveling on the left side' of the street. The street cars motor cars and other vehicles, travel on the left side; and if you meet anyone, you turn to the left. . They have trucks here that run by steam. It looks funny to see a truck coming along the street with the smoke escaping from the smoke stack, like from a locomotive. Well, 1 havent time to write any more at this time, but will write again in a few days. Hoping to hear from you soon, and with love to all, from Pvt. Virgil J. Midgley, 145th F, A., Battery, C. American Expeditionary Forces. sea-sic- k Wage Scale For Beet Harvesting At a meeting held at Logan, Sept. 23, 1918, the Cache county form bureau agreed ' upon a scale of wages for harvesting beets and is endeavoring to have all farmers here abide by it to avoid confusion. The scale providing a price of 85 cents per ton for topping a n crop, with a variation of one cent per ton up or down from that basis. Teamsters are to receive $4.50 per day, and where a man using his own team hauls beets he is to receive 75 cents per ton for a and 10 cents per ton additional for each half mile above the basis. County Agent Wrigley is urging the formers to accept these terms and faithfully observe them. 14-to- one-ha- ul one-mi- le chree, is a comedy in four acts revealing one of the cleverest little actresses, to be seen here in several seasons in the person of Miss Ada Daniels whose Sally is fast making her name a familiar one throughout the country.
