Htically or otherwise. Indeed. Repub-
leans frequently die unto righteous

On the contrary. their misguided fell

whole. Mr.. Wilson was right. A dead
Republican. that Is. physically dead, Is

TO UTILIZE ALkALI LAND.

SOME EXPERIMENTS now under
way by II. W. Smith. a Davis coUn-
~ dairyman. are carried TO a point
which viii demonstrate the correctness
or his theory. the state of Utah viii
arise and call Smith blessed. Not long
ago Mr.. Smith sent away and secured
some seed OF n plant which is popular
" known as the Australian salt-bush.
He has produced a small crop which he
finds that his cattle eat with apparent
relish and which seems 20 contain an
abundance of nutriment
The best OF IL Is that the bush grows
on what has always been considered
worthless aikaii land, unfit for any pur-
pose whatever. The salt-bush not only
grows on the land and makes fodder,
but II draws the salt from the soil. it
IS asserted, and makes other crops pos
sible thereon. Analyses Of the plant are
now being made and of the soil as well.
IN order that the value of the expert
ment may be accurately known.
In Australia the salt-bush has long
been recognized as possessing agricul-
tural and commercial value. 1t belongs
10 the group Of plants known as the
Atriplex and covers wide stretches OF
the territory in the interior Of Austria
liza. The most important of the species.
as well as the largest, is the Atriplex
nummularium. There "a also the Atri-
pick vesicarium. which is very tena-
eious OF life and grows abundantly on
alkaline soil.
A third variety is tire Atriplex hall
modes. a dwarf species Of e50ut the
same general characteristics as the At
riplex vesicarium. Species of the Rha-
godia and the chenopodium are also in
ciuded in the generic term salt-bush.
al OF these plants may be classed.
with some accuracy. with the grease
wood family which is familiar enough
on the arid plains Of the west, but
which has never been considered of
merit.
The Australian plant Is alleged TO
possess "A great deal more value. Ger
tainiy the outcome OF Mr.. Smiths ex-
periments viii be awaited with keen in
terest throughout the state. but more
especially in the sections where there
are vast areas OF alkaline fats. II ii is
shown that such ground can be re-
claimed and made to bring forth fruit

Of officers. in the opinion OF the lieu
tenant commander.
The Herald does not desire to ques-
ton Lieutenant Commander Smiths
accuracy OF statement. but il respect
fully suggests that the navy needs men
as well as officers. He seems TO be TAX
ing II for granted that if the officers
are authorized plenty of men viii be
found. As a matter OF fact, the two
do not so hand In hand. Naval recruit
ing officers have been complaining
great deal lately about the difficulty Of
securing the requisite number OF men.
It win be remembered that a station
was opened in Salt Lake and another
In Provo not long ago. The results OBJ
tanned We're very meager. Not many
men applied, and a large percentage of
those who did present themselves were
rejected because Of physical or other
disabilities. Officers are necessary adj
juncts TO the successful conduct of the
eountry's floating fighting machines
in war or peace. but officers alone can
not win battles or maintain navy.
1t may be all mistake, but a good
many OF us are laboring under the de-
fusion that 1.-THE man behind the gun"
although he IS nameless in the dis
patches, is the man most responsible
for the success or failure OF naval Op-
erations. SO The Herald suggests 10
Lieutenant Commander Smith that he
make arrangements first to find able
bodied seamen, apprentices, gunners
and the Ike. When he has them the
problem Of securing officers viii take
care of itself.

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS.
Seven Compiled From Decisions Rem
dered by United States Court.
INewspaperdom.)


Many readers have from time 10 time
requested information concerning news
paper subscription laws. Seven have
been compiled from decisions or the
United States court, and embody points
that bother many newspaper publish
ers- The seven are:
1. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
?. II subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals the pub
Usher may continue to send them un-
ill all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse II
take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. II subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent TO the former ad-
dress they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing 10 take periodicals from the Of
fee or removing and having them I'M
called for is prima facie evidence Of in
territorial fraud.
s. II subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end OF the time IL they do not wish to
continue taking IT, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send 1T and the
subscriber be responsible until an ex-
press notice, with payment OF all ar
rearages. is sent 10 the publisher.
Z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes a paper
and refuses TO pay for 1t. Under the
law the man who allows his subscrip-
ton TO run along for some time unpaid
and then orders il discontinued. or Or
ders the postmaster TO mark it re
fused" and have a postal card sent no.
tifying the publishers, leaves himself
liable to arrest and fine. the same as
for theft.
II will be seen that many disputed
points are disposed of by these deci-
sions, which are certainly only just.
II a subscriber doesn't want TO renew
his subscription let him notify the pub
Usher. The second decision given here
will be a surprise TO some publishers,
who believed they must stop a delin-
quent subscribers paper If ordered to.
The delinquent must pay up if he de-
sires to discontinue his subscription.
Otherwise he Is held responsible for as
long as the paper is being sent 10 him.
whether he takes il from the postOftice
or not.
