Show DIXIE USES OLD BARTER TRADE PLAN Young men and women who have listened with amusement to the stories stor-ies told by pioneers of the system of barter in the early days of Utah's Dixie, when a squash bought a dance ticket, and a gallon of molasses was good for cloth for a shirt or skirt, are seeing history repeated in the payment pay-ment of their tuitions at the Dixie college this winter. Through cooperation of the retail merchants of the city and the wholesale whole-sale purchase of provisions by the faculty members, student entrance fees are being paid with beef, veal, hops, beans, potatoes, pears, grape juice. Students from Kane county are hauling in coal for the college and business houses. It is estimated that produce to the value of several hundred dollars has been taken by the college this year. It seems that the man who lives within his income never gets as much credit as the one who doesn't. A person need not wait until he is broke before he begins to mend his ways. The reason why so many of our girls appear so dreamy-eyed in the - daytime is that they stayed up so late the night before. Most folks who do not have either silver or gold usually have plenty of brass. |
