The greatest cry in the world today. is for efficient men and women. There are large numbers ,of skilled men and women in the country today but who are going to take their places? ' You can divide mankind into two classes: the laborers and the idlers, the honest and the dishonest, but every man is dishonest who lives the unpaid labor of others. The man wh0 does not do his own thinking is a slave and therefore slights his duties to his fellow men. We have been a part of our high we go sch(ool for four years and away to gain new expeniences. Some will go away to higher institutions of learning and others will compete in the Bchool of life.

Peterson, of the Utah ago, N. Agricultural college, told the graduates that they find themselves in a world moeh' changed from that, of 150 year ago, when the young people, at the age of eighteen years were taking an active part in the sterner things in life and did not enjoy the educational advantages of the boys and girls of today. Mr. Peterson said that it is wonderful to contemplate tho astonishing number of young people in ti high schools today and that it is inspiring to see them and to talk to them. In Utah today there are 5,000 taking tho bachelor degree, said Mr. Peterson, and we are now living in a high school age. The best positions, he declared, will go those who are trained, and none can expect much unless equipped with a higher education.

WILLIAM BUTLER DIES AT HOME IN SPRING LAKE MRS -- , An ' optimistic spirit prawaisd at the mass meeting which was held id the tabertnaclo last Sunday evening for the purpose of . encouraging the planting of an increased aereago of beets this spring, and from the soutiment expressed there is little iVmbt that a sufficient supply of beets will be raised to warrant sugar tho operation of the loeal factory of the UtaJi-IduhSugar company for at least a period and hope is entertained that a heavier tonnoge than usuual will bo provided for a campaign of three months. The urgency of the situation was emphasized by a number of speakers familiar with the subject and tho loyalty of the farmers was appealed to in order that tho usual payroll may be maintained as of vital imports, ueo to the commereal interest s of the city. The problem is one which concerns every individual, said Mayor Charles II. Whte in the opening address, in urging the farmers to plant at least the usual acreage. While tho sugar company felt that it had been hard hit by tho crisis throngh which the country has just passed, he Bald, the farmer has been equally hard hit. Mr White said that ho would regret very much to see the sugar industry pass into other hands, for tho reason that those of the beet grower who have bopn doing business with Ihe Utah-IdahSugar company find it much more to their advantage to do our own peple." businosg with Sympathy, however, he said, should not bo confined to tbe sugar company, as a vast amount of sympathy is duo the beet grower, for there is no class that has suffered so seveily aa the latter. , Mr.. White. JWunmpnd ed oonervative boot growing, .urging the fanners to pay more attention to maximum production per acre, rather than great acreage and smaller tonnage. It doeg not nocessrily require tacres to raise beets, he declared, but it requires cultivation to increase the tonnage per acre. Mr. White urged greater attention to fertilization to the end that insead of six or eight tons to the acre may be raised, twenty tons or better may be the acreage per acre. Mr, White drew attention to the importance of the payroll of about factory $15,000 per month, at the alone, aside from tho large sum paid to the farmers for their beets, and of ' the employment the sugar beets offers to fhe hundreds of men, women ana children in the fields duruing the summer and , fall, adding many thousand dollars to tho payroll. While he said that he doubted if many of thq farmers would , yet ho ablet to stem tho tido of depression, ha . said that by raising beets he believed the heritage of - the forefathers of Utah might he preserved, lie said that he would dislike to see tho farmers men who hnd been1 raised in this section bo compelled to leave for other fields. In cnclusion Mr. Whitt; pleaded with the beet growers to get , together and' boost flop a bigger . and factory, better Payson, with a sugar the wheels of which may- he kept turning o long os pqssiblc, grinding a capacity supply of beets.

C. Ellsworth, former mayor, said that the farmer would reap a greater' of prosperity, npt only , from dairy products, but in tho fertility of the land ton which sugat beets are grown. , . , ; , The problem of keeping tho sugar factory in operation, he said, Is just as serious a matter to the sugar company as it is to the farmer and merchant. Thu farmer, he said, must take up the problem of better of tho soil, suggesting that if every former had, 8 few dairy cows On his farm, to place back in the soil the chsnents of fertilization which are token from it in the- - process of producing crops, the tonnage would bo materially increased. Cnche valley, ho said, produced a higher tonnage jof beets to the - acre than any other section, as well as Hire Utah fttwmer dairy products. The county gets into the dairying busiwo will ness, he declared, the pnjov the' greater prosp rity wfebh e We are seeking. ' Tho sugar fnctory, said Mr, Ellswprth, will bring wealth to the of people, not only by its pnytol about $500 a day, but in .giving hundreds ' employment in the fields, and in the boot check to the farmer. In addition to this, he said, . 40,000 sheep were fed in Payson last year, besides many thousand head of rsjtle utilizing the of the suuar fnletorf and' consutnlttf hsf ahd grain for which there was no other market.
