PASSING OF THE CRISIS.

American diplomacy backed by the firm stand that our government has taken in the complications that arose through the sinking of ships carrying American passengers by German submarines. has achieved sig nal triumph. The correctness of the American posi- ton has been fully recognized by Germany and most dangerous crisis has been successfully passed. In an this discussion the interesting and inspiring thing to America is that she has not asked anything for herself except what she has right to ask for humanity It. self We want no nations property; wish to ques ton no nations honor; we wish to stand sefshly in the way Of the development of no nation; we want nothing that cannot get by own legitimate en- terprise and by the inspiration of example; and standing for these things. 1t is not pretention our part to say that we are privileged to stand for what every nation would wish stand for and speak for those things which all humanity must desire.
 That sweet reasonableness which has always been the guide to agreement between friends will be com mended by all true Americans and doubtless endorsed by all true Germans on the other side of the in the settlement of matters of difference of viewpoint that were brought about in the response to the note that challenged Geramuy to take her stand with the United States upon the noblest plans of humane ser vice This spirit and this alone has served and can serve hereafter the ends humanity and insure the peace that should characterize the activities of peoples so closely related those of Germany and the United States

THE EVIL SUCH MEN DO
(Chicago Herald)

Chicago Herald)
 In this country know how to take the unrestran- ed. foolish and belgerent discourse hear from time to time about the European situation. We pre- pared to their true value the excesses of few men who under the influence Of mistaken. racial tionalstic zeal. denounce their own government and try disturb the unity Of thought and feeling in the country.
 But elsewhere they have not the same experience and knowledge to aid them in judgment We have @ fine illustration of this fact in the reports circulating in Mexico that there actually is rebellion in this try It is probable that this rumor-which naturally calculated to give the ignorant Mexican population mistaken impression of America's weaSness-springs from the belgerent procedure of of hyphen- ated citizens
 The German government evidently had the idea that there might be rebellion in this country in the United States should adopt position to German n- teress It has taken time for that government to learn-if 1t has yet earned-that such idea is the widest of wild dreams-that these verbal outbreaks, which perhaps indicate dangerous state in country less free have little significance in the United States.
 Why should not Mexico make the mistake. mistake considering the deeper ignorance of the of the people and the comparative ignor of the principal leaders? Harmless at home these mOuthings and fuminatons may do this country have perhaps already done this country-harm in it's international relations The evil such do may ex- tend far beyond their small influence short vision.

Lehi Men Invent
Pump and Water Meter

Eugene Roberts and Angus Gibson
were exhibiting models OF new
pump and water meter TO their Lehi
friends this week, The pump is
known as piston rotary, operating
the two pistons with a half stroke
each. 1t is the only pump OF this kind
ever made, and in many ways is said
to be superior to any other pump IN
existance Besides having high ef-
hciency II will pump with equal eff
cency whether operating at high or

The water meter is said to be super,

New Beet CultiyatOr Shown Which

With Less Water for Irrigation.

Mr. George A. Udall of Eureka, was
In Lehi several days this week max
ing demonstrations with a new i'm
proved sugar beet cultyator which
he has invented and which he claims
will make the beets grow larger and
use less irrigation water. And his
theory is scientifically correct. He
made several tests on various fields
and will come back again in a few
weeks TO make other tests and prove
that his machine will grow more beets
per acre and use less water than by
other methods.
AS shown in the Illustrations, his
machine consists Of four furrow plows
on the bottom Of which is a triangu-
lar blade which loosens the ground 6.
s or 10 inches as desired without
turning II over. At the same time a
furrow is made for Irritating when
the plants show necessity for II.
The draft is so light that two ordia-
airy horses pull the machine with
ease, The blades on the bottom arc
eight inches wide so that there is no
danger Of cutting the beet roots In
rows 20 inches apart.

Telephone Officials and

Committee Refuses to Accept Compro.
mise Of Company and Goes Ahead
Securing Franchises.

Messrs Edward Southwick, A. J.
Evans, s. l.. Chapman, N. NJ. Ambrose,
G. +. Westphal and j. +. Clark held |
a meeting Saturday evening in the
Commercial club rooms with repre-
sentatives of the Mountain States Tele-
phone Co. regarding the compromise
over the local situation Messrs Krauss
and Jones for the telephone company
stated that the company was willing
to restore the four party service, but
as the local system was not paying,
revenue would have to be raised by
some method. One reason why four
party service was expensive was that
after building a four party line out
into the country, often but one party
was connected up, which meant that
In this class of cases the company
would get but $1,75 in revenue from
line that should be earning four
times this amount. They stated that
they would like to have the commit
tee cooperate with them in getting
the disconnected users back again for
a three months trial, and then II the
cent toll between towns was found
to work too great hardship, the
company would discuss some other
method of raising the revenue neces-
sary to pay reasonable income on
the money invested. The officials also
stated that the company would give
each of the three towns 1000 coupons
for toll service between the towns to
be distributed between the churches,
schools and water companies as the
committee might suggest. The COM
pany wants the good will and coop
Grafton of the people and they feel
that they are entitled to II.
After the telephone officials with
drew, the committee discussed the
proposals of the telephone company
and were unanimous In agreeing to
go ahead with the securing OF fran
chises and the formation Of an indie
pendent system. The committee who
had had the securing OF franchises In
charge, reported that the different
towns had different provisions in the
franchises granted, so motion was
carried that representatives from each
OF the three city councils be gotten
together to have the franchises all
read alike. The committee also felt
that inasmuch rs this was n general
citizens movement, the city councils
should at least be as liberal with a /,
home company as with foreign cor
poration. A motion was also carried
| that n separate switch board should
be established In each of the three
towns.
Edward Southwick who has acted
as chairman OF the committee. was re- |
leased because OF his absence from the
city and A. j. Evans was appointed to
act In his place. The committee oil
franchises was instructed to get busy
at once. and as soon rs they get salts |
factory franchises passed. the mass
meetings of the telephone users will
be called together.
