The Country Newspaper

The Salt Lake Telegram has the following to
say respecting the relative value of the country
and the city papers:
''The idea that the daily journal is but the re-
suit of some marvellous mechanical invention is
not true The belief that all that the type and
press need is subtle brain behind them to set
their work in form is delusion.
g If the heart behind the type is not warm
one the completed journal will be cold as ice. If
il is not patriotic heart the paper will cease in
little while to interest its readers.
IF the heart has no broad human interest in
the welfare of its readers. it will not be long until
those readers will lose interest in the journal. If
there is no real character in the men who prepare
the paper. no matter how great their ability that
guides the pens that prepare it, it will be char
acterless.
The great newspaper must have as much heart
as brain behind it. for the types are dull pieces of
metal; the perfecting press is much more than
mere gorifed invention. Out through the types
shine the souls of the men and women who pre-

pare the matter forsthem; they are filed with the
impressions which the characters of the men and
women make upon them, and the press brings out
those impressions.
They may be too intangible for human eyes
TO detect but they transmitted tc the souls OF
the readers and the full gamu Of all the music in
the souls of the readers must be sounded or the
verdict will be: II do not know what the matter
is hut this journal does not fiji my idea Of great
journal"

Throughout large portion or the country,
and especially in the lrage cities where the union
sentiment among tradesmen is strong, there has
for several years been feeling. often expressed
in strong terms by the more radical, that the
churches are against the working men, AS to
why such statement should be made or such opin-
ions entertained we have never been able to UNI
derstand 1t is not the province of the church to
interfere in any way with personal affairs in
favor of one class of persons and against another.
The aim of the churches is to welcome all men
regardless of social or financial distinction and,
by intoxicating the principles taught by the meek
and lowly Nazarene, cause all men to see and feel
the needs and virtues of others and to develop
such christian nature as will impel them to ex-
tend the hand of assistance whenever necessary.
without resorting to class organizations that can
not but engender personal i'll feelings between
men.
On this question a prominent speaker, in de-
ivering an address on the subject of labor and
the church. at Labor Day meeting few weeks
since, said:
''God lent dignity to labor. He has ever been
the master workman, his tools the great universal
laws, his energy the power of the vast machine.
Lasor was not degrading thing when the morn
ing stars sang together, nor was it when Adam
went forth to till and Eve to spin.
Inc degraQaClOn Oh ldUOT 10 slavery was VIC
frutage of elevation to overlordship, tribal
masters who by prowess of arm or, later, inherit
ance established that autocracy whose remnants
have reached across the age to service in the last
forms of that whitening feudalism whose break
down is the mark of our immediate time.

moves to 1t. Today the common manhood walks
in dignity. Labor is being awakened it is being
educated. it is learning to think; it will slowly
but surely realize it's IDEAL Those who would
change the order of society overnight blind to
the lessons of evolution in human history.
"The bringing of Individual and commercial
life to it's end is task for time, patience and ex-
pertinent, for the growth of character more than
by legislative enactment. Religion, the religion
and ideals of Jesus will count in bringing to pass
that end
"The man who impertinently berates the
church because it does not enter into the struggle
of the time does unthinkingly. The business
of the church. as a church, is not the adjustment
of economics. Christianity is the spring whence
has come the rich measure of life blessing men.
The Christian religion has to do not with labor,
but with life.
That power which has lifted men from serf-
dom to citizenship in the free lands of the world
is the power of the ideals and laws Of Christ ex-
emplifed in the lives of those whom it has
propped and fashioned"

Civilization is back of President Wilson s
Mexican policy. He is trying to settle the trouble
in that turbulous country by the sort of methods
that are suggested in the Good Book, and if the
natives of the so-ealed republic do not accede to
his plan, they will have no one to blame but them
selves if they should force this country to take
harsh steps to stop the murder and carnage that
is running rampant throughout the land.

70 0e-President Fairbanks says It would be
supreme folly to sacrifice one soldier for all the
dollars investors and spectators have ventured in
Mexico" And right he is. To sacricfie the lives
of Americans in order to protect the property of
those who have left their own country for no
other purpose than to gain wealth and luxury
would be little less than barbarous If ever a
soldier in the United States army is called to
sacrifice his life in the Mexican controversy It
should be for the purpose of establishing peace in
order that civilization may succeed barbarty,
that the cause of humanity may be advanced. and
not for any property consideration whatever.

The fact is evident that Cedar City must soon
make provision for larger supply of water, in
fact the present supply is little more than halt
what it should be at this time, without any allow
ance whatever for the increase in population
which promises to be more rapid in the immed-
late future than at any time in the past. ANY
city to become attractive and inviting as place
of residence must make provision for a sufficient
supply of water for both culinary and lawn
purposes.
Unless something is done shortly to relieve
the water shortage, the few good lawns in the
city will of necessity be ruined for lack of water
At the present time the supply $ not sufficient at
all times for culinary purposes and this fact
makes it impossible for water TO be spared for
lawn purposes. The city council is endeavoring
to secure an increase in the supply by acquiring
some additional springs near the source of supply
and it is to be hoped they may be successful. but
even if they succeed in doing so. the supply will
not be nearly what it should be, If water is to be
provided for all necessary demands.

State Militia Gives Up
Disabled Old Battleshiu

Seattle Announcement is made that
the training ship Concord, which has
been the headquarters of the Naval
militia of Washington for many
months, will be turned back to the
government within the next few weeks
and the militiamen will be assigned to
quarters in the local armory. Several
contributing causes are assigned, the
most important being Adjutant Gen
eral Llewellyn's policy of retrench-
ment which has brought about many
changes at the armory in the last few
weeks.
Another reason for the change lies
in the fact that the United States
steamship Concord has little actual
utility other than a floating armory.
A broken cylinder head that the gov
eminent officials positively decline to
have repaired has made the old craft
unavailable for practice cruises and
General Llewellyn declares the work
of the militiamen in the naval branch
can be carried on as well at the arm

Apple-Beet is Latest
Freak In Fruit Line

Wahkiacus - Oliver T. Stump, q
wheatgrower of upper Klickitat val
ley, has discovered in the family ORCH
ard genealogical puzzle borne on a
7-year-old Ben Davis apple tree. The
fruit on the tree had the appearance
of apples, but from skin to an imper-
feet seedless core it was tasteless and
was the color of the garden red beet.
1t appears that the freak originated
by the apple tree blossoms being pol
lenized from q patch of red beets
growing near by. Mr.. Stump, few
years back, discovered among the first
apples in his orchard what appeared to
be seedless and partially coreless fruit.
Next year he says he will change
the location of the truck patch and
see if old Ben Davis does not return
to type.

Railroaders Say Traffic
Equal to Last Year

Chicago-Little change was noted in
the amount of traffic handled by the
Western railroads during the last
week, although on some roads there
were heavier movements Of general
merchandise and grain. This was par
ticularly true in the Northwest, where
shipments of both of these commodi-
ties considerably exceeded those of the
same period last year. The Christ
mas holidays probably are responsible.
Railroads operating eastward from
Chicago and st. Louis last week
hauled a+volume of business slightly
under that of the same period year
ago.
Traffic officials of Southern roads
report smaller southbound move
ment. but say that shipments of vege-
tables and other seasonable fruit
northward is running about even with
that of year ago.

Dayton Poultry Show
Is Best Ever Held

Dayton-At the close of the Dayton
Poultry show last week, Professor
Purvis, of Portland, who judged the
birds, declared he had never seen
higher-grade fowls than some that
were entered here. He urged breed
ers Of pure-bred fowls to increase
their operations in the business, as it
is bound to be paying thing in this
county, owing to the mild climate,
cheap feed, and nearby markets.
Among those who entered particu-
larry fine birds were j. ]. Edwards,
whose White Leghorns, White Wyan-
dottes, and S. C. Brown Leghorns car
ried away cups and John Carr, whose
White Orpingtons won the county Off
cial cup for the best pen in the Eng
lish class and sweepstakes for the best
solid-colored male bird in the show.
Others whose birds were prize-win-
ners were: j. Fl. Swart, A. E.
French, G. G. Fullerton, H. E. Barr
and Judge C. F. Miller.

Scarcity of Employment
No Worse than Usual

Chicago - The number of workers
out of employment this winter is not
greater than in other years, according
to facts brought forward in the DELHI
erations of the heads of the labor de-
partments of six states, who met to
plan cooperation in giving employ
ment to surplus labor. To secure
National labor laws and Nationwide
cooperation in meeting problems of
the unemployed were the chief objects
of the meeting, it was said.
"None of the speakers made the
assertion that the unemployed problem
is any bigger than usual" said P. H.
Hart, secretary of the Illinois Labor
commission.
1T does not appear that any more
men are out of work this winter than
any other winter.
THE Labor commissioners are
meeting this year for the first time to
open the subject of cooperation.
They have not been brought together
by unusual lack Of work among labor

ing it's 25th anniversary on January i,
1941. the Pasadena, CAL, Tournament
Of Roses will usher in the greatest

Honolulu on the West, and from Van
couver and Victoria on the North to
Pasadena on the South.
Following the Pasadena celebration
on New Years comes the Mid-Pacific
carnival at Honolulu, February 1921,
and then the scene of attraction to
tourists and pleasure seekers from all
over the country will shift to each of
the following cities and attractions:
Vancouver, B. c., Horse Show, in
April; Portland Rose Festival, Spo-
kane Pow Wow, and Bremerton,
WASH, Rhodo-Festo, in June; Seattle
Marine and Aquatic Pageant, Tacoma

Northwestern cities are planning to
join the Festivals association in time
to aid in the great movement to ex-
plot the wonders of the Pacific Coast
before the Panama-Pacific exposition

Existence of Monopoly
Is Violation of Law

Boston question involved in
the governments suit to dissolve the
United Shoe Machinery company is
simply one Of monopoly and not
whether the alleged monopoly is OPP
pressive, according to Judge Putnam,
who is presiding at the trial with
Judges Dodge and Brown.
The defense has endeavored to show
that the tying clauses in the contracts
operated to the advantage of the shoe
manufacturer and that the system
was beneficial rather than oppressive
as the government contended.
''Where a party secured monopoly
he might operate it in a benevolent
manner today and tomorrow in an OPP
pressive manner, /" said Judge Putnam.
"There is nothing in the law which
permits one person to compel another
to do what is to the other person 8
advantage"

Water Men Called to
Meet at North Yakima

North Yakima Men representing
may districts of the Northwest and
every phase of irrigation are expected
to attend a meeting of those interest
ed in reclamation work by this method
which is to be held here three days,
beginning January ID.
Great interest has been shown in
the coming gathering and all the most
important matters relating to irriga-
ton will be discussed by men best
versed in the particular topics to
which they have been assigned on the
program.
It has been suggested by many who
have announced their intention to at
tend the meeting, and it is possible
that permanent organization of ir-
rigation men, on lines similar to that
of the horticulturists, will be perfect
ed at the North Yakima meeting.

Luis Terrazas, Sr., Enrique Creel and
Juan Creel, including banks mines,
vast areas Of land, thousands Of head
of cattle, homes and personal effects
were ordered conRscated TO the rebels
in an official decree issued by General
Francisco Villa
Mr.. Terrazas, now refugee ID the
United States, is one Of the richest
men in Mexico. His Holdings Of about
two-thirds Of the state Of Chihuahra,
are said to place him among the most
extensive landholders Of the world.
The combined estate Of the Terrazas
and the Creel brothers, his nephews,
is valued at many millions Of dollars.
Enrique Creel was formerly ambassa-
dor from Mexico to the United States.
General Villas decree, issued at
chihuahua City, was sent to Juarez
and given out officially. It was in
tended as notice that should the rev
olution succeed, neither the Terrazas
nor the Creel families will be allowed
any indemnity for their losses.
The decree accuses the Creels and
Terrazas families Of withholding
taxation and fomenting the treachery
of Orozco and Huerta, and says that
the property shall be given to the
widows and orphans produced by the
bloodshed among Mexicans. !" All
contracts made with the Creels and
Terrazas since February 8, 1913, are
declared void.

ures showing that there are l474 first
grade pupils in the county at the pres
ent time, but only 72 12th-graders,
giving as reason for the big differ
ence in figures the fact that nothing is
taught in the schools to hold the inter-
est Of the pupils.

trict, a big consolidated district would

Apple Men Dynamite
Improbable Orchards


The WAGNER apple, which is splen-
didly adapted to the soil and condi-
tions of this district, will in most
cases replace the trees that are being
blown out.
Another favored sort is q variant OF
the Rome Beauty, discovered by r.
Kiesling, pioneer orchardist. This
originated as q so-called sport, the
freak fruit on one branch Of stand
ard apple tree. It is propagated by
grating. The new apple is like the
regular Rome Beauty in shape, flavor
and keeping qualities, but easily takes
on an extremely vivid color. This in
creases it's desirability as a market
apple and it is anticipated that the
improved strain will prove popular.
