The keeper had no eggs when we inquired but tolJ us that he would go out and get some. We remon­ strated' anti supposed the incident dropped but when we visited his store just a little later he proffered us "real fresh eggs" that he had gone out into the country and se­ cured for our benefit. Here we found the sales tax in its aggravated (oran. Every purchase has to l»e reported and the mer­ chant must keep the tax ac|mrate from the other proceeds of his sab’s. In a little tin cup they placed the tux which they require to be le­ vied' on every sale. How those fel lows hailed this tax as a great thing! Like we used to say as laiys, "O ver the left!” That was Tuesday, November 14. We had come from Hock Springs, Wyoming to Brigham City, Utah, 251 miles. Not much of a «lay’s journey, but plenty of ups and downs, literally—fl.llOO feet eleva­ tion there, up to 7,000, then down to 5,500, then up again and down again tu 4,250 at Salt Lake City where we began to climb again to Brigham City, a little over forty thro* hundred feet.

That morning w e discov­ ered we had lost the cap o ff our gas tank. And try as we might, none o f the caps for gas tanka could be made to fit, that is, none We found would fit. North and we«t ,,f Brigham City we came to the sugar beet coun­ try o f Utah. Great heaps o f beets were stacked on the ground, high­ er than you coulti throw on«, even though you had Walter Johnaon's pitching arm. They used elevators to elevate the roots, these machines being run by gasoline engines. The mad was full of trucks hauling the beets to the shipping places where other elevators were use«l In loading them on care. Dul you ever see a sugar fac­ tory?
