Fifty-seventh Year--No. 10 OGDEN CITY, UTAH, THURSDAY EVENING, JUCY 22, 1926 LAST EDITION VIEWS Frank, Rrancis The bear is the bugaboo of childhood, out the creatures which alarm the grown-up are small and sometimes cannot be seen by the naked eye. The germ of cancer was undiscovered until the powerful quartz magnifying glass with the violet rays was utilized. Today in the beet fields of Utah Idaho and California the farmer fears not the big animals which may break through his fences. In the earlier period, before barbed wire, keeping the horses and cattle from entering the hay or wheat field gave many a ranch- a sleepless night.

Kange cattle, when feed was short, would disregard the wire to get to the meadow land. Then came barbed wire, another- American invention, and after a little educating, wild stock kept away from the barbs. But barbed wires will not stop the cotton flea down in the south, or the white fly in Utah and Idaho. The white fly is not much larger than the head of a pin, but it has the sting of death.

The mosquito, carrying the germ, of yellow fever or malaria, has depopulated whole areas of the earth.

Tho expert has asked himself the question. the government of the United States expects the entomologist, the chemist or some one of his great force of specialists to an'swer.

Has tho hopper a sense of smell which guides him to the beet? If he has, can he be do- by a false scent spread on the plants? You k'now the old couplet which tells of how little bugs feed on big-bugs. The experts are seeking to introduce a parasite, and there are those who think they aro succeeding, as 30 per cent of the hoppers are now atflictod with parasites. Spraying has been found to. be Ineffective, as no one can tell when the hoppers will appear in a field. One proposed solution- which is being pursued is tho selecting of beets which have resisting power and developing them for seed.

In 'ome beet fields where havoc lias been created by the bugs, a beet here and there will be found to have survived the sting, and those beets are to be set aside for the production of a strain which may be able thrive aven in the presence of the white fly.

Page Co. All Eights Reserved HE theory that efficiency and. better methods make for unemployment is pernicious, but it is widespread. It is widespread because so many men make their living out of preaching it to workmen. It all goc-s on the theory that there -is only so much work in the world to do and it must be strung out.

The professional, agitators insist that efficiency makes less work, fewer jobs, and decreases employment. They say that where two men conduct a process that formerly used eight, six men are thus left without work. Prohibition Agent Under Eire Was Husband of. Alice Wall SALT LAKE July The Associated Press)--While stationed at Fort Doug-las- as an officer of the Fifteenth U. S.

The wedding, near tbe. Christmas holidays, stands, out. as one of the most brilliant in the city's-social history.

One of the parental wedding gifts'was said-at the time to have 50,000 of stock in the Pennsylvania railroad: Shortly after the wedding the. couple moved, to thV PMl'ippine' Less than a. yea.t later Mrs. Green returned home and a divorce, followed.

The fallacy of this has been proved over and over again and nowhere more, effectively a in our own industries. Take England at the present time.

Handin-hand with unemployment goes the preaching of the make-work theory. The British bricklayer. with kind intent toward his fellow bricklayer who Is out of a job. is easily persuaded that if he will lay only' half the number of bricks that he formerly laid, the bosses will have to hire his out- of-work friend to lay the other haJf. That is, he thinks he is creating- two jobs inhere only one existed before, and so decreasing the evils of unemployment.

MAKES FEVER JOBS But he does not make a job. He only increases unemployment by making so expensive that few can afford to build houses. Instead of making a his friend, ho more than likely loses. his own job through "slackness in the building trade." Though- England cries for houses. few houses' go up.

Working 1 men's houses not. go up at all, the reason being thst bricklayers will not enough to make an honest day's work, and thus double costs are imposed upon a house, with the result that the i a should inhabit it with his family cannot afford Holding' back in. any sen-ice decreases opportunity. The way-- for the English bricklayer to, make''work 1 for. all.

his, fellows the trade is to do so much wort; in a day that house-building- will be 'cheap--and since' the country needs cheap housing, bricklayers wii: be needed. Exactly the. same principles apply to management. It is clsar what 'the" bricklayer should do. (Continued On I'apc Four.).
