LOOKS LIKE HARD WINTER

The weather this week seems
to indicate a long and severe
winter. 1t is not the rule that
the snow and cold weather come
onto us so early in the season.
Of recent years the weather has
usually remained quite open
right up to Christmas, sometime
the first sleighing not coming
until after the first of the new
year. But this year the first of
December ushered in weather
that would have done full justice
to the mid winter holidays. And
while the thermometer has not
registered as low as it usually
does in mid-winter, it has been
none the less noticeable, due to
our blood being thin and we have
not been used to it so well as
we will be later on.
Unless there is a decided
moderation in the weather, or
we have an unusually early
spring. livestock on the ranges
is likely to suffer. and the
owners sustain some heavy
loses.

KILLING BIRDS MAY BRING FAMINE

In his remarks before the com.
bined parents classes of the
Cedar ward Sabbath Schools last
Sunday, Professor j. H. Pau
made some rather startling
statements. Among others, that
If the determination of our birds
continues at the same ratio in
the future as during the past
twenty-five years, it will result
in a serious famine within the
next fifty years. During the
past quarter century the Profess
sor remarked, the feathered
denizens of the air have de-
creased forty per cent; due to
the wanton killing of the birds.
The speaker said that he had
come with a message from the
United States Government to
the people, to warn them against
the destruction of the birds, for
the reason that they are the best
friends of the agriculturists.
We're it not for the birds, insects
and vermin of various kinds
would increase to such an alarm
ing extent that they would take
the products of the soil, and the
people would not be able to pro-
duce crops with which to sustain
life.
Professor Paul stated that
there are over 200 varieties of
birds in the State of Utah, and
that with very few exceptions,
they are all beneficial to the hu-
man family. Even the principal
part of the hawk family, he
said. did much more good than
harm. the Ring-tailed and Bullet
hawks alone being regarded as
inimical to our interests. A
single hawk of some varieties
will catch more rats, mice and
other vermin than 10 cats, said
the speaker.
The Mourning Dove is consid-
cred to be one of the very best
friends the farmer has, and the
people should start a determined |
crusade against the destruction
of this bird. A great many
beautiful song birds receive no
notice from the people. whose
lives they were sent to brighten
and cheer.
The remarks of Professor Paul
should be taken seriously by the
people. They contain much
profitable food for thought, and
II we will only stop to think
about 1t, the future of the birds
will be secure.

KEEP UP THE VIGIL

The temperance work that
was revived last summer has
certainly borne fruit, and local
conditions, from all temperance
standopints, have been highly
satisfactory, with very few ex-
ceptions. A week or two ago a
translucent from another part of
the country is said to have halt
ed his wagon out south of town
somewhere. and disposed of
three dozen bottles OF booze to
the young men of town at a
handsome profit, and a few
cases of drunkenness resulted.
But a few such isolated and in
frequent occurrences do not have
any special bearing on the moral
atmosphere. regretable though
they are. However. they should
not be passed by too lightly, lest
a repetition occur. The reace
officers should continue to be on
the alert to catch such char
acters as these. and make ex-
amples of them.
So far as the one drug store
Is concerned. we are fully con-
WINGED that there is no reason
for complaint from that source.
