Letter to Westminster Doctors
Wesim INSTR. Na,uland

Dear Sirs For your house, no matter
what's the matter with tit isn't human
you know-a prescription
Deyoe lead-and zinc. Apply with brush,
from one TO three eOats-get painter to do 1t.
Seven state chemists know all about Devoe;
have analysed it; report it pure; will analyze
it occasionally. They buy it in the open
market whenever they like.
You know what the color and dryer are for;
do you know what the lead and.zinc and oil
are for F.? Not being painter, you may not
choose to know; but we'll tell you.
Lead and zinc and oil combine to form q
rubbery waterproof coat to keep out dampness.
That the whole business.
The oil would do it alone; lead and oil
would do it, without the zinc; zinc and oil
withou, the lead; but the three together are
best, because they wear best,
We say to you, ''get painter, as we'd say
TO HIM "get a doctor every man to his
trade. Can't all be painters and doctors;
don't want to.
You will be more successful in prosperous
looking house and he in good health. Take
good care of one another.

FOR A COUNTY FAIR.

What about the County Fair?
Will Parowan have to lead out again
in the matter this year, or is Cedar
ready and willing to take her turn.
The people of st. George began work
on the Washington County fair two
months since, and the farmers and
gardeners in that section have had
notice in time to enable them TO make
preparations for the event. At the
head OF the committee are some of
the most wide awake and enterprising
men in that county, and they are
energetically, consistently and per-
sistently urging upon the people of
their county the need and importance
of giving this public measure their
support.
The holding of these exhibitions is
becoming more popular each year,
and their value and Importance in
stimulating effort and making folks
acquainted with the possibilities of
their surroundings, is growing upon
the minds of the people. There are
many people who have neither time
nor money to enable them to even 90
to the state fair, let alone to a
national event of the kind, who
would be able to attend some thing Of
the sort nearer home, and who would
derive rest and encouragement from
day or two spent at the county
fair.
There is one thing, however, that
ought to be avoided in the arranging
Of the program, and that is the ex-
cessive horse racing. When we noted
the way in which our people here in
Cedar turned out TO witness the ath-
letic contest that took place here in
this city short time since between
the athletes and others of the Branch
Normal and Che st. George high
school 1t seemed TO us that something
Of the kind in connection with a
county fair would be the very thing |
10 add interest to the matter and pro-
vide amusement and entertainment for
The people during what could DO
made q general local holiday.

The Salt Lake Tribune is RESPONSE
BILE for the statement that President
Joseph f. Smith was present at the
glove contest between Gardner and
Schreck the first of last week, in Salt
Lake City. We have been wonder
ing ever since whether It told the
truth or not, but as we have seen no
denial in the columns of any of the
reliable Salt Lake papers, it would
appear probable that for once it is
not mistaken The Tribune is SO
liable to make mistakes when it has
anything to say about President
Smith that even If they were to say
that he had gone TO heaven, we would
have to see the statement confirmed
by some paper that has better rep
utation for truth aud fairness than it
has before we would believe it, prob
able though it might be. But the
purpose that the spiteful publishers
of that paper have in the publication
of the statement above referred to is
not to dispense news, but to injure
President Smith, and they seem to be
very much disappointed that the Des-
eret News does not deny tho state
ment.
In their paper of the Goth inst.
they ask II it is 30 much more dis
graceful to be seen at a republican
convention than at prize fghtY
Well, that would depend upon what
sort of republicans composed the con
vention. We have many republicans
down this was whose company il
good enough even for good democrats,
but il the convention were to be
composed of such republicans as
Kearns and Cannon have shown them
selves to be, we think the prize fight
would certainly be the more respect
able gathering. That is, the com.
rany there would be less liable to
turn on its friends, and better prin
ciples would govern. The Tribune
failed to state how many divines of
other denominations were present at
the fight.

j Il. Younger is still vigorously
prosecuting his preparations for the
manufacture of salt. He is driving a
tunnel into the hill from which the
salt spring emanates, some two or
three miles up Coal Greek canyon,
which tunnel is now in distance of
twenty feet. He expects to encounter
rocksalt at no great distance. In the
mean time 1t is the intention to COM
mence the manufacture of salt about
the first of next week by the evapora-
tion of the water. This has already
been done some years ago by local
parties with some success. By this
process about 200 pounds per day of
good table salt can be produced. The
work has been somewhat delayed
through an accident that befel Mr..
Yuonger week or two since, through
the overturningsof a wagon on him,
resulting in an injury TO his side,
from which he is slowly recovering.

Enforced the RhIe.

We are indebted to Clarence S.
Jone, 8 who is attending the University
OF Columbia, Mo-, for the following,
which will be Of interest to students
who read The Advocate: Recently
an example of school spirit properly
directed came under my observation.
The quadrangle around which most
OF the buildings are located was being
marred with trails across the grass.
Repeated requests and reminders,
even to stretching wire along the
border, seemed to be unheeded by
some Of the students, who continued
take the short cut and make beaten
path through the quadrangle. Then
the junior engineesr decided to stop
the nuisance. First our refractory
class members we're punished and
brought into line. Thereafter these
ve-y members we're among the foremost
to apply the 'chi-chi' to other
Offenders. Soon the whole engineering
school co-operated with us, and 1t
was a sad day for any man who
should trespass.
President Jesse politically approved
of our determination to enforce the
rule, just so we used no Objectionable
methods. One of the last that we
punished was senior agriculture
student, who thoughtlessly stepped
from the granitoid walk onto the
grass, and then, bethinking himself,
quickly stepped back. Too late.
A crowd of us engineers were upon
him; some we're at his feet, others
at his head, holding him out horizon
tally, face downward, and Blanks, the
smallest man in the class, was on
hand as usual to apply the paddle.
Now the green grass grows all
around unmolested.

ACQUISITION OF PUBLIC LAND.

It is gratifying to note that thu
shameful way in which the laws are
violated in the taking up of the pub
lie lands all over the country. IL is
high time that something was being
done in this matter. Every land law
has been violated, and many millions
of acres of public land that under an
honest application of the laws would
have been available for honest settle
ment and development have passed
into the hands of spectators. In
the making of proof 1t has almost be-
come the rule to commit perjury.
Since tho Climber Culture Fact has
been stricken from the statute book,
land grabbers have given the home
stead and desert land laws their un-
divided attention, aud land has been
entered as desert land that did not
answer the requirements of such
entries, homesteads have been secured
when scarcely any of the require
ments of the law have been com
piled with, and plenty of witnesses
have been found to substantiate the
perjured testimony of the homestead
or who, In many instances, has made
bargain before entry to sell his
head right to a company or TO some
individual who was out for tho ac
quirement of large slice of the pub.
lie domain for stock ranch or some
other equally unlawful purpose.
Such practices have become so com
mon and SO many people have been
concerned there in that no one dare
to tell least his own unlawful acts
should be brought to light, and ever
II he should escape that, he would
render himself unpopular, and would
be n marked man In the community,
Now that land is becoming scarce
and the means of making IL produc,
crops are being multiplied, peopl,
who desire to avoid the just pro
visions Of the law will find it mucf
harder to do so, and people will b,
less disposed to wink at these unlaw
full acts, as they will realize that th,
chances for them to receive like
immunity through the forebearanc,
OF their friends, is not very great OF
account of the scarcity Of land.

IL the fair we're to be held in Cedar
the date could be arranged for day
or two before the opening of the
Branch Normal for the school year,
and in that way it would not interfere
with the attendance of any OF the
local students, and would give an
opportunity for pupils from other
places to attend and participate in
the games and exercises that might be
introduced to add zest and interest
to the event.
What is needed is for our leading
men to come forward and assist in
the enterprise. A strong, energetic
committee should be selected, who
will exercise their ability in arrang-
ing such program as will make the
occasion worthy of the object in view,
which should be TO stimulate all
classes of the community in the
building up of the material interests
of their home section, whether it be
along the lines of agriculture OF any
other praisewortby and useful ayoca-
tion. MI
