The city of Hope, Idaho, has a population of 275. They were found to be in a critical condition. Food supplies were all but exhausted and only eight people in town were employed. The N. D. A. exchange produce department flitted from the north to the south end of the second floor of the Keith Emporium building, where more convenient quarters have been arranged. One reason fewer people are wearing straw hats in Salt Lake this summer than usual is that the weather has been unusually cool. But then again, there are other reasons. Out of about 36 canneries in Utah, we are informed that only about six will run this year, and probably two of these will be operated in connection with the N. D. A. Who says we are not loyal to home industries? Various reasons are given to explain why the N. D. A. has held no social gatherings of any kind, most of which are only alibis. The real reason is that with the possible exception of Mr. Glad, nobody has any suitable clothes. But don't let this get out. EIGHT Milk is now available to members of the N. D. A. organization on a credit basis, a satisfactory connection having been made with milk producers and a creamery to handle and dispense the milk. One more important need met without the use of money. Mr. Heber Bennion, hea dof the Agricultural department, returned from his Daggett county ranch project last Monday, with his coat of sun-buand tan renewed. Mr. Bennion reports that everything is progressing satisfactorily at the ranch. rn The Progressive Independent now has a desk on the second floor of the Keith Emporium building next to the waiting room of the N. D. A., where subscriptions to the paper will be entered, advertisements received, or news items for the paper may be reported. Do not overlook us. It was reported the first of this week that the City reservoir in Parley's Canyon was full to overflowing, and some apprehension was felt by citizens residing near the mouth of the canyon.
