Finance and War

1t has been said that poverty
never yet prevented nation
from going to war. Certainly
it has never proved a controlling
factor. In the old days not 80
much money was needed. War
equipment was-comparativeiy
cheap, and armies lived off
the country, and governments
III some cases got rich from spoIi
and loot. We do not have to
go very far back in history to
come to a time when equipment
and maintenance cost practically
n0thing-that is, to the victors.
Even the economic loss vas
pGch less than now, for indus
try and commerce were not high
~ organized.
But tody the financial prob
lem is a most serious one. Poor
nations still go to war, to be
sure, as in the recent Balkan
struggle, But if poverty is not
q preventive, men are at least
beginning to think of it as a de-
torrent. Governments have to
consider income, expenditures
and indebtedness. 1t has been
estimated that the European war
will cost S5O,00O,OOO a day. This
we suppose, can be hardly more
than a guess, but it is certain
that the daily expenditure is
enormus Every nation invol-
we'd is laboring under a heavy
burden of debt. Taxes in all of
them are cruelty high. In some
of them it was a difficult mat
ter, even before the war broke,
to make income and outgO bal
ance. Since the war began
each one of them have been
growing poorer every moment,
and at a terribly rapid rate.
There will have to be new and
higher taxes, and new and heavi-
CT loans.
All this is quite apart from
the direct impoverishment Of
the people through the stoppage
Of production, the destruction of
foreign trade, the shrinking
wage account, etc. There is
not a country involved in the
war in which the people today
are not suffering intensely. And
the worst of it is that they will
continue to suffer for years af-
ter the war is over. Less able
than they were before to pay
taxes, they will be called upon
to pay heavier taxes. With per-
haps millions Of the best pro-
producers of Europe dead or in
Capaciated it will be necessary to
produce more in order to meet
the new obligations. Long af-
ter the horrors Of the war have
been forgotten, long after the be-
reaved have themselves died, the
awful burden that is now being
piled on the shoulders of men
and women-and children-will
have to be carried. Such is
modern war-such are its glOries
Nor is there a nation in the
wo~ld that will not have to pay
part of the price. Even rich
America cannot escape. In
deed, our people are even now
suffering because of the war in
Europe. Human beings yet un-
born will be poorer and weaker
as a result of the great world
struggle.

titles exist in the soil and pass thence

vital energy OF organisms, like that OF
soil, is maintained largely by the cir

kinds of plants 1t varies widely with
the season. while In soil the circula-
ton depends largely on climate and
season, especially as these are related
to plant growth. Other things equal,
the internal work or functioning OF

conserving water and conveying It to
growing plants.

Fits TO SPLENDID
PERMANENT HOME
Public Library No Longer a
Vagabond, But Comfortably
Housed in New Building

The Cedar City Public Library,
to be known hereafter as the
Carnegie Library, is no longer a
vagabond or wanderer without
a home. Last Tuesday a COM
pany of men and boys headed by
Mayor Leigh and his delivery
wagon were engaged in trans
porting the books and furniture
from the temporary quarters on
the upper floor of the Mercantile
Block to the splendid new earn
egie building on the East side
of Main Street.
Librarian, Mrs. E. C. Watson,
was almost lost in the large,
commodious room, and the pres
ent supply of books and furni-
ture seem entirely inadequate to
the apartment. However, this
condition will be remedied just as
fast as possible. The new steam
heating plant is in commission
and doing good work, so that
the building is very comfortable.
The library building is an
ornament to Main street, and a
credit to any town. Cedar peo-
pie should appreciate this gener-
Gus gift on the part of Mr.. earn
egie, and show it by making use
of the opportunity thus affodred
of acquiring a knowledge of the
worlds literature, thought and
progress.
The new Library is now open
to the public regularly each
afternoon and evening.

"NHE experience Of the farm In

Infantry Decides the Battle.

While there have been many discus
sions as to the relative value of the
different branches of an army, there
is no doubt, according to a writer in
the Scientific American. but that it il
the infantry that wins battles.
While it is probable the success OF
a battle viii depend TO a large extent
on the support of the field artillery,
il is certain that the principal and
most important arm is the infantry.
which in practically every case must
decide the final issue. The cavalry
may be the first to be drawn into a
battle and the artillery may destroy
the enemy's artillery. but a battle is
never won until the infantry has driv-
en- back the enemy's lines.
The usual mode OF advancing for
the infantry is TO deploy them I'm line
with a long interval between each sol
der. This naturally Is for the pur-
pose of Offering a smaller target for
the enemy II makes IL more diff
cult however. Tor the leaders to keep
as good control over the men, and for
that reason one OF the objects of field
artillery is to make the enemy's troops
deploy early.

The campaign which was made by

ances as to the durability OF the type

So far this county has had but one
example of the work of the state high
wav authorities-the cemetery road
and the manner in which this has
been allowed TO fall into disrepair is
construed as a reflection uppn the
ability of the builders, however small
the grounds for this assumption. There
is not a great deal of confidence here
in the all-concrete roadway which
the state commission seems TO con-
slider a satisfactory type. Concrete
highways in existence hereabout show
2 disposition to break down at the
expansion joints under heavy traffic,
such as that on the main Travelled
country roads, where narrow tired
wagons are used almost exclusively.
A great many object to the narrow
ness of the roads the highway COM
mission has approved for this coun-

The manner in which these small
strips of highway stand up will have a
great deal to do with the future atti-
tude OF the people of this county to-
ward the question of highway improve
ment in general and the use of con-
crete in particular.

A Times-Tribune reporter had that

he had seen her on the stage. But
not until he met and talked with her
did he realize the rich beauty of her
face and hair and eyes, the symmetry
of her splendid figure, the softness OF
her voice or-and more than all else
the genuine womanly feelings and
emotions that are hers. Beautiful blue
eyes, she has, as blue and as change
less as Colorado sky. Her hair is gold

teeth are white as the pearl that shines

you from the oceans depth, and her
face is as fair az day in June, and as

one sees in dreams. Perfect her feat

SITE FOR THE NEW JAIL.

The movement for the removal OF
the Jail from the block in which the
court house is located, which has been
taken up by a number of Rock Island
ers and has been discussed before the
Rotary club, is in line with custom in
the larger centers. Now that bonds
for the construction of a new Jail have
been passed, il is time to consider the
subject seriously in this county.
In the first place. the Jail detracts
from the imposing appearance OF the
court house Rock Island county has
one of the finest buildings in the state
and sightliness demands that it have
the entire block with lawn all about 1t,
providing plenty of room for the sol
diers' monument and such trophies and
ornaments as it may be proper to dis
play there. When the court house
was built it was placed in the center
of the block, and II was never intend
ed that the new Jail, when built, should
be crowded in on either corner.
Then there is another phase of the
question. With the Jail in the same
block there is an unpleasant sugges-
ton as to the function of the court
house. 1t seems to have been created
expressly for the purpose of keeping
the Jail populated, being, so to speak,
the main factory building, and the jail
the warehouse. This gives the county
temple a sordid aspect which is quite
out of keeping with its real purpose.
While the courts convene there and
the machinery for dealing with crime
is located in the building, this is only
a comparatively minor department
conducted under the big dome. The
court house and jail should be disas-
ISOLATED in the public mind.
From the purely practical viewpoint
the jail needs more room than the cor
ner on which the present building
stands affords. II ought also to have
an ample site. Then, too. if il were
necessary to tear down the present
Jail before a new one could be erected
considerable expense would be in
volved in providing temporary quar-
tiers for the prisoners.
The new jail should be sufficiently
near the court house so that it can be
connected by tunnel, making it unnec-
sary TO take prisoners out into public
view in conveying them to and from
the court room. This. of course. linn
its the area for the picking of a site,
and will probably encourage property
owners TO kite their prices. If this
disposition becomes too apparent the
county will be justified in selecting a
site in some other part of the city
rather than place the new bastile on
the court house square.

CKnnsas city star.O

How can men in this busy area spare
the time to shave? Professor Glider
sleeve of Johns Hopkins wants to
know
This is one of the most remarkable
questions that ever came from pro-
fessor of Greek or from any other
kind of a professor. For 1t displays
truly remarkable misconception of
the intimate relationship between time
and whiskers.
1t is possible that in the 50 years
OF his life Professor Gildersleeve has
missed the chief significance of the
allegorical figure of time? Father Time
wears a beard because time is of the
very essence of boards.
Not that 1t takes time to grow them
though IL does. But the years of
growth are minor incidents of whisk-
ers when ii comes to time consump-
ton. The hours spent in the care of
whiskers by those intrusted with their
keeping! The quite numberless little
devotional exercises given wholly to
them, such as snatching them from in
furious soup, guarding them from
