clared in a recent interview. DR..
Pruce, who is now on his way to Ar

and chickens of various breeds which
he has collected from the farms of
Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois,
New York and other states and 300
tons of American built sheds, hen
houses, incubators and other farm i'm
plements incident to the breeding of
poultry and hogs.
"For some time the Argentine gov

into that country certain strains of
American live stock and poultry which
are raised so successfully by American
farmers" said Dr. Pruce. After con-

ties of breeds, and forty-six hogs of
six different breeds. 1 also have
grounding and feed mills, incubators,
hog sheds and other equipment and
six experts who are graduates Of lead

LIST AND HIS CIGARS.
Why the Great Musician Said He
Would Quit Smoking.

Liszt was in the habit of smoking
one cigar a day. But that one cigar
was an exceedingly choice one. When
his valet how many days he would be
away, and his valet put into the valise
q corresponding number of those ci-
gars.
Once when Liszt was going to Italy
the chief customs officer at the frontier
post of Chiasso asked him if he had
anything to declare. The musician,
with his thoughts centered on his mu-
sic rather than his cigars, made signs
to the effect that he had nothing. The
officer opened the valise without the
traveller agitating himself over the
search. Presently number of cigars
were brought to light. The whole lot
was confiscated, and he was ordered to
pay fine of 500.
When Liszt reached Milan he told his
agent of his unpleasant adventure. Ri
cordi laughed at the whole affair, took
stroG to the Italian treasury and re-
covered the cigars and the fine On
returning to the artist he offered him,
with a smile, one Of his own precious
cigars.
"No, my dear friend" said Liszt, 81

so as not to expose myself a second
time to such a humiliation
Ricordi says he kept his vow. Other
authorities recall Rogers visit to the
virtuoso in 1870.
"Liszt smoked and offered me a ci-
gar" said Roger, "and while took my
ease he walked up and down, sending
out clouds of smoke in the direction of

The Delaware river is one of the

The Delaware river is one of the
best fishing rivers in the country, no
exception, if it is properly looked
after and protected. There are no
mills along it's shores to dump acid
and refuse into it and kill the fish
like there are on all the other rivers
in the State and because it has al
ways been known as good fishing
river it has attracted thousands of
fishermen from the cities every sum-
mer who come to enjoy the fine fish
ing. To keep the river well stocked
and protected is the duty of the Fish
and Game Commission to the people
of that section, thousands of whom
make living by keeping boarders
during the summer.
Only the brave fight put up by
Mrs. Martin Hunsicker of Genegans-
let, Chenango county, New York, pre-
vented her son William, four years
old, being carried away or at least
injured by an eagle Sunday after
noon. The child was playing near
the house when the bird swooped,
fastening his talons in his hair. The
boy screamed and his mother, catch
ing up a stick, beat off the eagle.
The big bird at first gave battle, then
suddenly released it's hold and soar
ed away.
The playing of base ball on Sun
day in New York state is prohibited
under the following conditions:
Where admission is charged; where
it is open to the general public, and
where it disturbs the peace, accord
ing to an opinion rendered Governor
Sulzer by Attorney-General Carmody.
The opinion is expected to have
an important bearing on the playing
of base ball on Sunday by various
teams in the New York State Base
Ball League, which includes Albany,
Troy, Utica, Syracuse, Binghamton
and Elmira. Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton which also are members of
this organization, have always play
ed base ball on Sunday and will not
be affected by Mr.. Carmody's ruling.

ton Constitution of Kansas.
In looking over a bundle Of papers
which belonged to an uncle who died
in Kansas, Justice Of the Peace Joseph
A. Headley of Milltown, N. j., found
what appears to him to be the original
draft of the famous LecOmpton con-
stitution of Kansas, a document for
which the authorities Of that state have
been looking for the past half century.
Mr.. Headley has written to the secre-
tary Of state of Kansas telling him Of
the find.
The Lecompton constitution was the
first organic law Of Kansas and pro-
vided for slavery. 1t was recognized
by President Buchanan, but afterward
supplanted with new instrument that
forbade slavery within the state.

FRIDAY. MARCH ID. 1913.
Rightly Belongs to Iron County.

The Washington County News in its last issue
contained an article on the industrial conditions
of the towns in the northern part of Washington
county, and, in referring to Enterprise, stated
that the people of that place were very much dis
satisfied with the difficulties which confront them
in reaching St. George the county seat, because
of the almost impossible roads and rugged
country over which they must travel.
The news also stated that the citizens of that
portion of the county are talking of annexation to
Iron county as a means of lettering their con-
dition. This last staten ent is quite practical and
deserving of more than passing consideration
The topography of the north part of Washington
county is such that some three or four settle
ments have extreme difficulty in reaching the
county seat, subjecting the residents to many
annoyances and inconvenience in doing So If a
section of country some nine miles in width
along the northern line of Washington county were
to be added to Iron county, it would include all the
towns and settlements which are now handcapp-
ed because of being compelled to go to county
seat that il almost inaccessible to them.
Then, too. Iron county is entitled to this strip
of territory, it having been granted to Washing
ton county several years since for the purpose of
assisting the people of that county to accomplish
an object which meant great deal to them and
which could not have been achieved without the
aid of the territory granted them. It was then
understood and agreed that the strip would at
some future time should conditions warrant it.
be re-annexed to Iron county.
-NoH4 that. thepeople of that section are seek
ing it. it is the duty of both Washington and Iron
counties to come to their as ,istance and, by the
necessary legal procedure. make such territory a
part of Iron county.

Public Printing.

A bill was introduced early in the present
state Legislature by the terms of which the print
ing for given county was required to be done in
such county, but for good and sufficient reasons
the bill was defeated. chief among them being
that there are number of counties in which
there is not sufficient facilities to do printing in
the proper manner
However. the principle is a correct one. an
should be more closely followed by the county
commissioners and officials of the several counties
in the state. Hundreds Of dollars are spent for
printing supplies for the various counties of the
state which goes outside of the county for which
the printing ii s. dssysd when b done equally
It should be remembered thht the printing
Office at home is doing an inestimabe amount of
work of a public nature for which it receives
nothing. It fact seldom does the local papers re-
ceive as much as thanks for the work they do
The money that is sent away for printing does not
return; that paid to the local printers is dstrib
uted in the way of wages taxes, and the like, and
is of incidental benefit to the entire community

Too Much Legislation.

AS time passes by it becomes more and more
apparent that the people are needlessly burdened
with legislation. During the present session of
the legislature in this state, several persons have
spoken to the writer of the uselessness of big
majority of the measures introduced with the hope
on the part of their author that they will become
laws.
When the session shall have adjourned there
will be no more than that three or four measures
enacted that will be of any material benefit to the
people. In other words. if there should be no
meeting of the legislature in Utah for six or eight
years. the public would get along just as well,
those guilty of offenses worthy of punishment
could be punished, the rights of individuls could
be fully protected, and all necessary revenues
provided for the support of the state institutions
and officials. Furthermore, there would not be
SO many opportunities for favored interests to de-
mand, and by political manipulation secure. the
appropriation of thousands of dollars of the public
money TO advance their own welfare to the detri-
ment of great majority of the people. 1t is
evident to the man who is thoroughly informed
that there is an abundance of laws to redress all
the wrongs and protect all the rights of the in
habitants of the state. even if there were not
other law passed for ten years. In fact so
thoroughly is the field covered that it is becoming
difficult for members of legislatures to think of
any measures that would be of any real benefit to
the people, which fact has lead to the introduc-
ion of freak and selfish bills that if enacted
would result in destroying the effect of the better
legislation enacted during the past, if not in a
total demoralz alton of the public peace.
To demonstrate the logic of this statement
it is only necessary to scrutinize the calendar of
the present Legislature of this state. There are
three women in the legislature, elected from Salt
Lake county. These women have introduced a
number of measures which they ask the legis-
lature to enact into laws. We have examined the
bills introduced by them, and if there is enough

PRESENT LIMIT OF WIRELESS
Depends Largely on Existing Weather
Conditions, but Possibilities Arc
Apparently Unknown.

According to Prof ]. A. Fleming,
several of the most powerful wireless
stations are now generating ether
waves having length from crest to
crest of about four miles, and these
disturbances can be detected" at dis
tances up to 5000 miles from their
source-that Is, four such stations
would suffice to "girdle" the earth
Obviously, however, the ability to de
tect' the signals over this vast dis
lance, presumably under favorable
weather conditions. Is very differ
ent thing from the power to maintain.
commercial communication along the
route. AS yet the wireless service
available to the public covers but a
third, or at most half, this distance.
There is as yet no means Of deter
mining the practical limit of wireless
communication. Improvements In ap-
paratus, perhaps even some new dis
covery as to methods of stirring up
the ether, may revolutionize the art
and upset all present standards. But
at present even the most successful
systems get into serious difficulties
when called upon to maintain constant
communication over a line 1000 miles
In length A recent British wireless
commission was able to secure but
