SAFE INVESTMENTS

In this city there are living great many re-
tired farmers, who in former years acquired large
tracts of land and practically all of the money that
could be secured used in Improving their ranch
es. AS their sons grew up they we're trained N
the practical things of life and years rolled by
the parents retired to some educational center,
where the younger children of the family may be
educated The farm or ranch is sold to the older
boys on deferred payments rented, the income
being used to support the parents. The investment
made years ago in land a legitimate and safe
one. If those who are conversant with early days
in this state will let their minds revert back and
decide how many young men have been benehtted
by their parents dying and leaving them nothing
but money; we think the answer will be, as a rule
the means thus left has proven an injury instead
of n benefit Young people that receive money
without knowing the cost of procuring It, are more
liable to be injured than benefited by its bestowal.
Therefore parents who will invest their means
along the lines that will furnish employment for
their children and leave legacies to them that can
not be easily squandered will receive a satisfaction
that will not be received by leaving them cash
legaces that be easily squandered Past his
tory conversant to all will bear us out In this the
ory Parents who have families today cannot do
better than to secure good farm, either for in
tensive or extensive farming. Let the boys work,
acquire knowledge of labor, they will then be In
a position to continue the work OF which they &C.
quired q knowledge while under parental care.
There are as good opportunities today as ever be-
FORE Under the Smoot enlargement act 800 acres
of land Can be fled on and title secured without liv-
ing upon It. Land close by home in most any OF.
the settlements in the valley can be bought on the
installment plan for irrigated or dry farming.
Invest in land This Is a safe and legitimate
investment. Teach your boys how to work and
then beuueath them legacy in a knowledge OF
work; something that cannot be easily frittered
away

RICHMOND DEPARTMENT

Our readers have observed that during the past
few weeks We have been running regular weekly
department Of Richmond news. An arrangement
has been made whereby this department is to sp-
pear regularly every Tuesday issue and in connec-
ton with the news features from the busy little
city up rorth, to appear editorial comments
from the pen of Busy Ben. Financial Phil. and
many other writers Of note in Richmond. The
reason for this department Is to give Richmond
what might be termed weekly paper. The city
has grown to such proportions that the leading
citizens feel that their city is entitled to little
publicity and the best medium at hand they have
concluded. is The Logan Republican. The local
staff has agreed to give every possible attention to
the new department and in consideration OF these
agreements large number of Richmond folk have
promised subscriptions in addition to the very fine
list which we already carry on our ganeys at the
present time.

Why not try publicity as cure for social dis

of way, under present conditions, of insuring
that his daughter will marry man of clean his

With diphtheria, smallpox scarlet fever and
all highly contagious even communicable dis
eases, there is quarantine and the greatest public

quarantine regulations.
We publicity to warn people away from
contact with these diseases that are incurred in
nocenty Why asks the physician, should we not
give equal publicity to diseases which are far
more disastrous and which incurred through
deliberate vice? Why not at least have health
department record of reports which doctors shall
be forced to make of involving social dis
ease and have this record open to the inspection
Of persons interested in prospective matrimonial
contracts.
There will probably never be special publicity
or any such record because body Of law max

We heartily welcome the extensive
improvements the Utah Power and
Light company are making in our
city by installing q sub station here,
removing trees, placing poles close
to curbing. planning and painting
them and thus giving ain up to date
neat appearance to their system as
well as making great improvement
to the streets. Not only are they
making these improvements but
they show a. decided interest in de-
veloping better service and in ex-
tending their lines. Every week
there are new installations. This
week their service has been extend
ed to George E. Doty's carpenter and
feed mill, to William Merrills hog

They will soon install the Carnegie

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR

The march of army, the movement of a par
ade may oe measured on the dial of watch. Even
the slow advance of incoming tide can be told
In hours and minutes. There have been periods
in humanitys history when certain forces, sudden
ly released have swept the race forward till 1t
has moved onward like triumphal procession We
passed once over the track Of glacier that had
broken from the grip of the mountains that had held
It for centuries. From creeping at mperceptible
pace 1t leaped into the plain below with the pro-
polling power behind 1t Of a thousand years. Some
reforms have come as the glacier came that
mer's day into the Alpine valley.
The progress Of humanity, however is not to
be measured by hours. or years. Centuries only
can tell the story. Our dscouragements grow out
Of the limitations OF vision. This cause that
we love so much, that means much to that
vast world Of life around us, stood last Christmas
last New Years Day, apparently, where 1t stands
this Christmas and this New Years Day. We
can measure its advance by no mile posts left be-
hind. But he who scales some mountain peak Of
history where not years but centuries stretch out
before Lin, finds himself exulting in the triumph
of this cause since the first Christmas was cele-
brated and the world was compelled to acknowl-
edge that there date from which 1t must
number the years.
Yonder, in those distant days, only here and
there was voice raised in the name OF hman
freedom or the rights of bird and beast Today
there is civilized land whence fIeedom has not
unfurled her banner, where tens of thousands
of voices not heard in defence of the creatures
below Cruelties still trail the weary paths Of
suffering beasts of burden, still ending pro-
cession of victims moves to the needless ordea's
OF terror and pain that await 1t at the slaughter
pen, still the hunter mains and kills for sport But
dark may be the RACES that record the dreary
1ot NJ amir today toll Of
pain and torture and anguish lessened many hun
dred fold great spaces Of the world, of clear
er recognition OF governments and Of the
claims of animal life, and of widening OF humane
education among the young that at once sustains
and inspires the heart
The Christmas spirit is pervasive as the
light. It can no more be quenched than can the
sun that burns above 1t is resistless the
dawn. The clouds do not stay it. 1t on

poINos DURING THE PAST WEEK

Richmond, Dec. g.
The entertainment given In the opera
house Friday night was reported as
being very we'll presented but poorly
attended. The members taking part
handled their parts in a very accept
able manner but there was not q
very large crowd in attendance. 1t
appears that the theatre going public
do not seem inclined to patronize
home talent as we'll as outside talent.
It would be well to give our support
to our home talent, as long as 1t is
deserving, and in that manner we
would foster our home talent to a
greater extent.

amount will be used in paying for cash prizes at

advancement OF business generally and the Poca-

SHORT WINE CROP

Ladies and gentlemen who drink a good deal
OF champagne must make up their minds to reduce
their ratons of beverages or increase the cost
thirtythree and one-third per cent, because the
survey of the vintage OF 1918 shows that excepting
Italy, most countries producing fine wines have
been handicapped this year by storms and the in
rad of insects The grape harvest of France Is
only twothirds of last years crop. We read that
without much interest but 1t 1t OF serious interest
to France, because In France there are forty mil
lions OF people, one and onehaf millions Of them
are vineyard proprietors, cultivating four million
acres with an average annual production of one
billion gallons Of wine, valued at $250,000,000. To
take from those people in a single year 900
Is a good deal of loss and the only way they
can make 1t up is to charge more for the wine
which, as they are very thrifty Frenchmen, they
will be very apt to do. Then the chemists of
France very brilliant and We are liable to have
manufactured wine which may not be SO good for
the stomach pure Burgundy OF champagne, but
will have to do
That supplies another suggestion that Califor.
MIA ought to keep the best ability that she can
procure at work upon her Wines because she ought
to produce about all the wines except champagne
that are consumed in the United States. She
makes what she calls champagne, but there is
something wrong in the grape or in the climate
or soil which makes the production of pure cham
payne such as is made in France impossibity
Science may overcome the difficulty after a while
but we hardly think It WILL because while all south
en Europe is natural grape country and while
experiments have been going on for centuries there
Is only che on two districts In France that produce
real champagne. In Hungary the old fashioned
Hungarian wine made from Tokay grapes we think
Is superior TO champagne but that, too, is limited
to small district but 1t is wonderful wine After

sive in looks and taste that he thinks nothing of

RuTS OR RATS, WHICH?
BY Busy Ben

Man is animal. So much so that It
is difficult for many men to be more
man than animal. A travelling animal
likes to take a beaten path and keep
1t; SO does man.
One of the beaten paths or ruts that
many farmers Of Cache have taken,
is that Of continuing to raise wheat
and oats on land worth 5000 to $500
per Acre. Most animals when they
get hungry will leave the beaten path
long enough to fill up on the green
grass by the wayside. Not SO with
some men. They will continue in the
rut Of raising wheat no matter how
hungry they get or how much green
grass there is by the roadside. They
don't want high priced land to pay
taxes on-wheat is good enough for
them. Dairying, beets and potatoes
under proper cultivation will yield a.
net profit of from s25 to $50 per acre.
That means 10 per cent per annum
on land at $3.50 to $500 per acre. r.
rigated wheat will yield from s12 to
500 per acre-grass-or about Sc to
s12 net or 10 per cent on $50 to $3.50
land. Now If your taxes are Is per
cent of your net earnings you can pay
the taxes on $500 per acre land just
as easily as you can pay It on $50
land.
Another rut that is taken and kept
by many dairymen is that Of contin-
ually making good cow pay for the
board and keep of h poor COW, end
continually selling the good hay and
grain off the farm and feeding the
dairy cows hay only, and often not
the best at that.
Now IL by magic all the "rutty"
farmers of Richmond could be sifted
out of these two beaten paths and by
an emphatic system of POSTER kick
ing be kept out what great differ
ence there would be in our prosper
ity. If we had 1000 acres of $500
land yielding net profit of $40 per
acre, instead Of IS per acre 1t would
megn an increase in net income Of
$4,000. It would mean more individ-
ual prosperity, more city, county and
state revenue, better roads, more au-
tomobiles, less credit, more cash,
fewer hardups and more do-wells.
Let's have farm of 1000 acres of
5000 land in Richmond. Come now,
altogether-one,two. three Go!
