THE Salt Lake Route will find no better place
for thirty miles or so of its rs pound rails than
on roadbed between Lund and Cedar City. 1t
will penetrate one of the richest spots in the en-
tire western country in the extent of its natural
resources, which will be certain of development as
consequence insuring large and profitable bus
mess for the future and at the same time opening
up business that cannot fail to make the road
paying investment from the outset. We trust
that the directorate will coincide with the opin-
ion already expressed by the resident officials of
this state and authorize this extension, on the
terms and conditions already outlined at the ear
liest possible moment

CHEAP IRON FOR COAST.

NAPTAlNS OF industry, such as Henry Ford
originator of the Ford automobile, are con-
sidering every element that enters into the cost
and economical handling and marketing of their
products. That is why Mr. Ford remarked when
at San Pedro harbor short time since that If
cheap iron was available they would soon have
FORD factory on the coast. The completion of
the Panama canal, which "opens gateway to not
only the Atlantic and Pacific shores of this coun
try, but to all our island possessions and foreign
trade as well, has made southern California a most
favorable location for manufacturing purposes of
every kind In addition it has the advantages of
an even climate which makes it possible for men
10 labor with maximum efficiency the year around,
harbor facilities which Mr.. Ford views as very
important and essential, and many other adyan-
tages. All, seemingly, that is lacking is cheap
fuel and cheap iron.
Mr.. Ford is one of the geniuses of the age in
his line, but is apparently little lacking in regard
TO information on the subject of the resources of
the western slope. Apparently he was totally ig-
norant of the fact that within 500 miles of him.
In southern Utah. was the greatest undeveloped
deposits of iron in the world, or he would have
been considering the question of how to make
this necessary adjunct to his plans and specuatons
available.
Mr.. Ford's project is only one of hundreds that
could be successfully worked out with the aid of
iron and coal from this section that would make
OF southern California the greatest manufacture
ing region in the United States if not in the world
There ought to be enough enterprise and CAP
ital in Utah and California to make these posi-
bilities realities.

LET US GIVE THANKS.

Thanksgiving Day, season of mirth and cheer.
And festive gatherings, is drawing near,
And thousands then will offer prayer and praise
For Heavens mercies in their by-gone days.
Bright summer time, with warmth and gentle
showers,
And happy autumn with its bamy hours.
Have all combined the husbandman to bless,
And crown his summer labors with success
Now harvest scenes are past and bounteous yields
Have been collected from our farms and fields,
The busy thresher too has once again
Reduced the monster stacks Of golden grain,
And gone to rest, its hum is heard no more;
And bins are filed as seldom filled before.
Huge barns OF provender are stored away
And crowded larders greet each coming day.
And many future blessings are in store,
In fact, cen now, are waiting at our door
Our great Creator, with lavish hand
Has scattered blessings through our favored land.
But not alone In our abundant Yields
In fiocks and herds, and products of the fields
Have we been blest; they are little things
Among the many that His mercy brings.
Our health our strength, yes, life itself we owe
To Him, from whom our every blessing flow.
Whilst Enrope's land is cursed with wars alarms,
And nations franticay rush to arms,
I'm this our favored land of liberty,
We dwell in peace and from such scenes are free.
Their ruin follows in the track of strife,
And famine daily threatens human life,
Not so with us, we build and beautify,
And plenty, stead of famine hoyers nigh
Then let us render thanks and honors pay
In woodland deed on this Thanksgiving Day.
Not as the accent boasting Pharisee,
Who publicly proclaimed to Deity
His thanks, that he in his self-righteous plan
Was far superior to his fellow man.
Not as the pessimist, whose narrow mind
Through years of health and strength has failed
to find
A blessing worth his while hence In his view
Small thanks or gratitude, from him Is due.
Not as the autocrats of Europe's shore
Who daily shed their fellow creatures gore
Then dare insult an outraged Providence
With gratitude, that smaks of sheer pretense.
But in a deep humility of soul
Let heart and voice His wondrous love extol
For all our noblest praise will neer compare
With His most perfect love and tender care
And unto those less fortunate than we
Who have not reveled In prosperity,
Through lack of health, or ills beyond control,
And hence, have not as yet attained their goal
Let each of us as brother, sister, friend,
In singleness of heart, to them extend
Our solid sympathy and aid, that they
May celebrate with us Thanksgiving Day.
And let us not forget the friends most dear
With whom we are associated here.
But render thanks to Him to whom it's due
For fellowship and friendship, pure and true.
Now let us all our grateful voices raise
And sing aloud our great Creators praise
For precious gifts bestowed on every hand,
And happy homes in this our favored land.

WHAT is AN EDITORIAL?

O.ROBABLY never before in the history of
Il journalism have editorials been more wide
ly read, which means, by the same token, that
never before have newspapers exercised 80 wide
an influence. The editorial is an expression of the
newspapers belief or sentiment To be of any
value, it must have behind it the papers reputa-
ton for fearlessness truth and fettered incorrup-
tibility. Without these, the influence of the edi
torial is nullified before it reaches the printing
press The newspapers first duty is to give the
news. Its second duty is to comment on the news
show toward what end the news is tending.
whether political, educational, social or religious,
crystalize the sentiment in its particular commun-
lty IN regard to that tendency, and finally to give
its own honest, unbiased opinion The editors
duty is sacred one, and.he should be fully alive
to its responsibilities. His opinion on any subject
should be given only after serious study but, when
it is given, it should be frank and above board No
one else is bound to think as the editor thinks but
the editors opinions go down in black and white
and he ought to have good grounds upon which to
base them. Those reasons, expressed in the edi-
torial make it valuable In fact the editorial
stands falls because of the reasons it sets forth
showing how the editor arrived at his opinion The
fighting editor is usually man of deep thought
-one who bases his opinions on solid foundations
and is willing afterward to come into the open
and fight for them.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Il Mixed With Sulphur IL Darkens sc
Naturally Nobody
Can Tell.

The old-time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sens.
IDLE. as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance Is Of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" for about SO cents
bottle. It is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap-
piled. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at time: by morning the
gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications, It also produces that soft
lustre and appearance Of abundance
which is so attractive; besides. pre-
vents dandruff. itching scalp and fall
ing hair.

The price OF wheat on, December
Is always taken as a general average
OF wheat prices for the year. Seventy.
nine cents was the price on December
/. 1913, on the farms. There were
763, 380O0 bushels Of wheat raised In
1918. Because OF the sensational and
prices since the outbreak of war and
age for 1914, Expert Snow explained
cannot be figured by the Dec. l last
price, which was 98.6 cents per bushe,
on the farm
"At the time OF harvest in 1914. n
the face OF the largest wheat crop
ever grown" said Snow, the price
OF wheat declined. The first sales
made from the threshing machine
ranged around 60 to 70 cents per
bushel. Following the outbreak Of
the European war prices began to rise
Immediately. The first real move
ments Of crops were made at 81 per
hushel. This was far above the nor
NAL for many years. A great deal, In
,faet majority Of tho 691. 100000
bushels already sold have brought to
the farmer $1.40 and more for every
bushel. Farmers today are getting
much more than this
"The usual rule is that wheat does
not begin to advance in price untff
after the bulk of the crop has left the
hands OF the farmer. In 1914, the d.
rect opposite was the case. The great
benefit of the advance has gone to
men who actually produced the whea.
while the amount OF toll taken by tho
middle man is relatively much less
than usual"
