Out economic protrMS plunges ahead at a rats unheard ot in the history of the nations ot the world and every Industrial and Ininclal leader Is dally brought (see to face with new and perplexing problems requiring the highest courage and intelligence for their solution. Ninety billions a year, they tell us, this country is now producing in new wealth. The rate ot Increase li even more stagfering than the amount It is difficult to say where It may lead us in even ten or fifteen years. We are morlng exceptionally fait. Our economic and Industrial structure is placing before us problems of greater and greater magnitude. Few men can far ahead. Few are in complete control, for this is a chang-ing world, as even the most inexperi-enced business man will readily tes-tify. Our methods of adjusting our-selr-rapidly to economic ebanges and of cooperating are far from per-fect What aa opportunity the leadership of are, tea or fifteen years fnom now preientsi What an adventure it will be! What responsibilities It will lay upon the broadest shoulders that may be found! This is the challenge to leadership as I see H. Ia the hands of the young men muit rest the respon-sibility tor this leadership. ., Beys Whe Retched the Pinnacles Business is full ot the romance of youngsters whose chief characteristic was working hard and keeping at it. There was a green farmer boy who de-cided he would rather stand behind a counter than follow a plow. He seemed so obviously lacking in sales ability that tor a time bo merchant would hire him. He failed In his first position, and la his second his salary was reduced. He eves agreed that be was a misfit but he stuck. Out of his fret Ire stores, I believe, three failed. But he persisted and worked hard. And that boy, Frank W. Wool-wort-became the greatest retail merchant la the world with a store la every eity of eight thousand or more population la this country. There was another lad who clerked in a grocery store sixteen hours a day and studied mathematics In his odd moments. He became interested In the doings of the steel plant whose em- - ployees traded at this store. He be-gan to study steel and sought a posi-tion la the plant He carried a sur-veyor's ehaia aad drove stakes. At night he studied mathematics and en-gineering. He did siot despair. He could not be diverted. He kept the pressure oa for seven years. ' And that boy, Charles Ichwahi mastered the Iron Industry aad became one of the country's great Industrial leaders. There was a lad who sold papers on a train. When he grew up, several million mem and t score of billions of dollars of capital were given profitable employment through his Inventions. Even in middle lite, Thomas Edison continued to work twenty hours a day, If necessary to achieve his purpose. Leadership la not play. Leadership offers countless positions of varying opportunity, ot which the highest pin-nacles will mean almost unbearable responsibility In the new era. There will be men with the Are and Iron to justify even for these places. Such men must have had the very finest preparation and the most grueling tests. Tfcetr reward will be the attain-ment of these highest pinnacles of achievement and the rendering ot an Immeasurable service to their times. t;:e only store in town should advertise When the automobile manufac-- tiireis of America had produced enough cars so that there was tne to nearly family that could buy a car, they did not stop making cars or advertising them. Rather they siot together and said, "now we will proceed to sell each family ar.o.her car." They might have saved their money and said, "everybody knows our car and all about it, why advertise!" But they did not. They advertised- - all the more. ; . Oftentimes a merchant thinks, "Why should I advertise! Every-one here knows me. I get their trade." .,", .r;'. ; If this fiort of policy had pre vnilcd witih the manufacturers ol automobiles When they ,had sold .'very one a car they Would have A merchant even though he W the only merchant in his locality can make money by adver.ising 'letause by advertising he can 'lxrcase his sales. He can lead his customers to buy more, to buy the new things that coine on the market. He can stimulate desire and create demand and thus in-crease, his sales aand his profits. It is '.he modern merehandiNinj. way. It is good business. INJUNCTION , I DISSOLVED The temporary injunction pro-cured against the Jordan School Board to restrain them from ad-vertising for bids for the construc-tion of the high school building at Copperton, was dismissed in Judge David Moffat's court last Monday. " The board was instruc-ted that they might advertise for bids and apparently there is noth-ing to prohibit the board from con structing the school building ac-cording to their previous plans. A group of Bingham people cir-culated petitions and solicited funds from the signers of the pe-- tition with which to carry on a legal battle against allocating the hiigh school at Copperton, as pro-posed by the Board. According to the ruling of the court, in the dissolution of the in-junction it appears there is no further legal grounds on which to protest against the action of the board in this matter. The original notice, advertising for bids, was at the same time declared illegal by Judge Moffat because of the fact that the board in this notice limited the bonding of the con-tractor to some firm or individual within the district, which limita-tion whs declared improper. - Simultaneously with this deci-sion an opinion was rendered by the attorney general at the re-pie-of Dr. C. X. Jensen, relative to the powers of school boards. This opinion, which related to school boards in Duchense county, declared that school boards mav in their discretion change the lo-cation of schools from one pre-cinct to another without consult-ing their constituents, if in their judgment it is for the best inter-est of the school and in the pro-motion of the best educational in-terest. . " The opinion declared, in sub-stance, that school boards could not be compelled to build sehool buildings, even when funds may be available for that: purpose, whene in their judgment, such buildings are not for the best in-terest f the district. j GUN CLUB ; The Bingham Canyon Ctm Club held a good shoot Sunday:Weath-e- r conditions were great and some very good marks --were registered.

'EWER ALIENS ADMITTED DURING THIS YEAR - Fewer immigrant aliens were .dmitted to the United States dur- - ng the fiscal year ended June 30, han in any fiscal year for the last ten years, according to a datement made public by the Commissioner .General of Immi-gration, " Harry E. Hull. .; . ., , The tkrtal number of immigrant Uiens admitted during the past iscal year was 179,678, as against :;i7,255 for the preceding year, a eerease of 25,577, or nine per nt. The total for 1929 was the iwest since 1919, when 141,132 mmigrants entered the country. , The decrease for the past year was largely confined to these coun-tries, namely: Irish Free State, Canada and Mexica. Immigration from the Irish Free State dropped Vom 24,544 in 1928 to 17,672 in 1929, or 28 per cent ; from Canada , t dropped from 73.154 to 64,440, ' r 12 per cent; and from Mexico , VJ.016 to 40,154, or 32 per cenV There was an increase from nearly 11 of the other countries, particu-arl- y from England, Scotland and iweden, the total immigrants r m all Europe being 158,513 in '928. and 158,598 in in 1929.

MAIL BOX THEFTS AID CHECK FORGERS American Bankers Association in Nationwide Warning Exposes Methods and Gives Rules to Combat Them. NEW YORK. Active operations In many ctties of mall box thieves, who open bank communications to custom-ers, containing details of their ac-counts and cancelled checks showing their banking signatures, and use this material in perpetrating check for-geries, have1 led the American Bankers Association to issue a nation-wid- e warning to Us members with instruc-tions for combating this form ot crime. The warning as sent out by James E. Baum in charge ot the association's Protective Department says: "Heavy losses are being sustained through cancelled vouchers and state-ments stolen from the mall boxes of bank depositors in apartment and of flee buildings, thus divulging the de poiltors' balances and supplying mod-els for forged checks. As a step to put customers on guard against these methods, banks are urged to in-struct every depositor to whom they mall statements of deposit accounts on the last business day of each month tc notify them promptly it such state ment are not received by the close o the next day. "Also banks should educate depoa' tors to safeguard blank checks am cancelled vouchers as they woul money. Such paper stolen by forger soon puts real money In their hand? It all blank cbeoks and cancelle vouchers were securely kept in safe: instead of filing cabinets or desks, thi check crooks would be denied the!' chief stock in trade, namely, genulm blank checks and signatures. Warn Ings to depositors against leaving blank or cancelled checks accessible to sneak thieves or burglars should be sent out at once. "Estimates broadcast by surety com panles Indicate that Indlrlduals, mer-chants, hotels and others outside of baaking are shouldering more than IS per cent of the total amount of for-gery losses. The bulk of forgery loss on checks is sustained by those who are willing to risk accepting them without reliable proof ot Identity or title of the presenter. "Tears ago the Protective Depart ment of the American Bankers Asso-ciation adopted the slogan, 'Strangers are not always crooks, but crooks are usually strangers.' It those outside ot banking could be prevailed upon to observe this rule and think about it when considering accepting a check for their merchandise or services, for which they are also asked to give a substantial sum in cash in change, one of the biggest aids to the forgery busi-ness would be denied the crooks." SCRUB BULL IS HALEDTO COURT Placed on Trial for Hindering Development and Prosperity of Dairy Industry. Indicted for robbery, larceny, and a few other such charges, Scrub Bull went on trial tor his lite at Laurel, Mississippi, recently. It seems that for some time people had suspicions tint Mr. Bull was hindering the right and lawful development of the dairy Industry, thereby "maliciously and wilfully lowering production and de-creasing proflts in the dairy business," says the Bulletin of the American Bankers Association Agricultural Commission in commenting on the case. This, it aays, was the first trial of its kind ever held in that section and was attended by several hundred peo-ple. The jury, representing every vo-cation within the boundaries of the Laurel trade territory, rendered a unanimous verdict of "guilty." The death sentence was pronounced, "but during the night before the sentence could be carried out friends ot the convict secretly spirited him away and he has not been seen since." The arraignment came during the Milk Products Show sponsored by the banks of Laurel. People attending the show had the opportunity ot also attending the bull's "trial" and went away firmly convinced of the serious-ness of lax and methods In the pursuit ot dairying. The pur poses of both the Milk Products Show and the trial were threefold, namely: to develop publlo sentiment for more and better Jerseys; to foster a more cooperative spirit for dairying and livestock growing, and to promote tick eradication. The banks ot Laurel entered lnlo cooperative arrangement in their ef-forts tor fostering agricultural devel-opment and successful farming In the community, offering $2,165 as premi-ums to the outstanding farm workers throughout the territory during 1929. An instructive booklet has been is-sued, showing the agriculture! activity ot the banks, together with announce-ments of contests tor farmers, exhibits la the bank lobbies and prizes offered. Delinquent Tax Notice All unpaid Personal Property 'axes for the year 1929 are. now ti'clinquent and unless paid at orce it .will be incumbent upon the officials charged with the duty ol collecting these taxes to proceed to levy on property delinquent. It vvill be much preferable U have' these taxes paid without the additional trouble and expense to making such levy. Taxes may be paid to Willard Evans, City Hall.

REIGHBORLINESS IS THE BASIS OF COMMUNITY LIFE. Those factors, that of recent years have robbed us of our neigh bors, have struck a hard blow at real community unity. While the automobile hac enabled to go to places and see things, while it has enlarged our little personal world and shoved the horizon of every-day life further and further away. It has at the same time made str-angers of our neighbors. .

The principle feature is a large and comprehensive exhibit trans-ported in four large trucks and set up at each stop. When set up It Alls a space so by 0 feet and consists of panels, charts, and models on practi-cally every phase of agriculture, in-cluding agronomy, horticulture, agri-cultural engineering, poultry, animal husbandry, soils snd fertilisers, home economics and marketing. A large electrified farm model, showing the uses of electricity on the farm, model farm buildings snd the Ideal layout and landscaping of the farmstead. Is one of the most elaborate and attrac-tive exhibits. Local bankers in each locality visited gave the money to cover ex-penses for the transportation and In-stallation ot the exhibit In their terri-tory and assisted In the preliminary advertising and publicity.
