THE DAIRY Cow.

In European countries dairy cows
average very nearly 800 pounds Of but
ter per COW each year. In Utah the
average production per COW each year
Is about $50 pounds OF butter. Esti'
mating the value OF butter fat at 20
cents per pound, the European COW Is
worth SIS and the Utah COW $3.50.
The cost OF keeping the two cows Is
the same. The difference then repre-

PUTTING THE CASE PLAINLY.

Upton Sinclair in an address at a
vegetarian banquet attacked the trusts.
The trusts effrontery is amazing"
he said. They commit a sin with as
virtuous an air as you or | would do
a piece of charity. And there Is no
getting around them, no heading them
on. They are like old Eliphalet Hos
kins
"Eliphalet Hoskins was one of the
old residenters of the Head of Sassa.
fras, small Maryland village. He
was light fingered. He lifted eggs,
bars OF soap, potatoes, chickens--any-
thing that came in his way. The Head
OF Sassafras people knew his failing

they had pity on him. He was never

Futile.

After many years OF experimenting
the people Of the earth had succeeded
in establishing communication with
Mars.
But the signals received were utter.
ly unintelligible.
Many years more were spent in
vain in trying to decipher them.
They did not bear the slightest re
semblance to any language known on
this earth.
Efforts then were made to commu.
nicate with some planet whose
learned men could interpret the sig.
nails.
The only responses received APP
peared to be couchel IN even worse
gibberish than the written dialects
OF Mars.
Finding II impossible to secure the
services Of any planet as an interpre-
ter, the effort was abandoned.
Go to Jupiter" recklessly signaled
the earth-and tore down its signal
stations.

to hunt rabbits and tramped around
Pine brook for two hours without ever

farmhouse for lunch When they be-

The great trouble in The past has
been the duplication OF studies by the
two institutions" says Truth, and yet
In columns and columns Of cantanK-
erous matter published year or two
ago, Truth affirmed that the only
difficulty at the A. G. was the autoc-
racy of President Kerr, his DISPOSE
ton to dismiss Mormons for non. Nor.
mons, his squandering OF public money
for private purposes. In its wondrously
villanous TRADE at shat time "dupli.
sation of studies" was not mentioned.
Truth evidently does not know any
thing at all about the matter.

arisen In &C sequence, .ome persons

testimony. To the best Of their rec
objection the emperor's mustache was
all colors. One editor OF paper con.
firms that II was yellowish, others say
1t was reddish.brown, stffened with

be performed. II this requirement

THE ART INSTITUTE.

In 1899 the state legislature created
an Institute OF Art, the object being
ito advance the interests OF fine arts,
develop the influence of art in educa.
ton, and to foster the introduction OF
art in manufactures One thousand
dollars per year was provided for the
maintenance Of the Utah Art Insti-
tute.
The act creating the institute pro.
yided thai the maintenance fund be
spent by a governing board in proyid-
Ing an annual course Of lectures In the
state educational institutions, in CIV
ing an annual exhibit of art, and in
Offering a 5000 prize for the best origi.
nal painting by Utah artist.
There is now concerted and terri.
bly, foolish effort to do away with the
institute. IL is claimed that the lee.
lures lave not been given, that the
artists OF the state are wrangling, that
the prize money has simply been hand
ed over each year to some artist who
needed the money, etc, etc, and IL is
urged that the 81 900 could be better
spent on roads.
The roads need the expenditure all
right, all right, but $1,000 worth OF
patch work ism worth any more to
the state than 1900 painting in the
Alice Art collection-nor as much.
And besides, II the 81 900 were taken
from the institute II probably wouldn't
go to the roads, but rather TO some
crazy purpose less worthy by half.
AS for the wrangling, friends of the
institute say this l a bugaboo, only
two or three Of the high.muck-a-m ucks
kicking over the traces occasionally.
And who cares about the wrapeling,
anyway-Utah ought TO be used to it
by this tIme-and the artists are sure
TO get tired Of IL before many moons.
II the lectures havn't been given reg
ularly and properly, let's Insist that the
institute be more vigilant along this
line. But don't cut out the 81 900 maln-
tenance, the annual exhibit, and the
possibility OF securing excellent add.
tions to the Alice Art collection. It's
rather hard TO believe that sane mer,
Of even slightly artistic temperament,
with an avowed object before them,
could so misuse 81 900 that it would be
wasted
There is extreme possibility for good
In the Utah Art Institute and ii Is TO
be hoped that the legislature will not
kill II. We need more OF the beauti.
full in our lives, in our homes, and no
man can look at good pictures or be-
come interested in any phase OF art

thoughts purer, his back yard cleaner.
The two exhibits in Logan have un.
doubtedly reached sufficient uumber
OF people advantageously 10 warrant
the expenditure necessary to have
them here, and we would that they
might come again, and again. Let US
encourage within reason, rather than
discourage effort to further art In
Utah--and surely $1,000 year, even
though out poorly spent, Is hot too
much for an ar, institute.

HEALTH MEN CONFIDENT.
BelieUe City Is Safe from Typhoid
Epidemic.

The typhoid cases in this city numbered eighty
last week. OF these nfty-four were in Man
haitian nine in The Bronx. seventeen in Brooklyn
and one in Queens. Outside of this borough the
cases are looked upon sporadic: that IS as oc-
curing in the natural order OF the health OF a
great community The cases IN this borough are
materially traced TO the water supply and from
this 10 che Katonah Cross River Dam and Mount
Kisco sources OF infection.
But the Department Of Health is well satisfied
because the cases IN Manhattan have not been
more numerous. Another week VIII have to pass
before the fun effects Of incubation OF the typhoid
germs viii be felt here but II is the general opn-
Son OF the bacteriologists that the prompt action
OF the city authorities after The Tribune dis
closures has saved this city from one OF the worst
epidemics in Its history.
There more typhoid cases IN and near Kato-
nah These are in the natural order OF the pro-
gression Of the disease. II does not mean that
there viii be general epidemic in the watershed
nor that the contagion will necessarily spread in
tllis city. The New York City authorities have
erected barriers which viii repel the bacilli in the
most effective way.
A doctor OF the city service said yesterday that
hne publicity given by The Tribune 10 the typhoid
menace In the watershed had undoubtedly pre-
vented an epidemic OF most distressing kind.
He said further that while there would be more
cases in the watershed. and possibly an Increase
above normal In this city, the real dangers had
been checked.
The week ending Saturday showed a death rate
ten thousand of 1913, while IN 1906 the percent
there were 1870
