Agatha 5
Wedding Gift
By EUNlcE BLAKE

The passes in the Swiss mountains
have doubtless been used by nun ever
since he began to travel. but in former
times they were crossed very different.
~ from the present During the mid.
die ages small parties or even individ
uals would cross the mountains on
foot, usually conducted by guide.
During that period when William
Tell is supposed to have shot the apple
from bis sons head. in the village Of
Altdorf, where he fourished, lived n
young Swiss named Friedrich Sohm
His occupation was to guide persons
over the st. Gothard pass down into
northern Italy, then bring others back
to Lucerne Friedrich loved and was
loved by young girl named Agatha
and they were only waiting till he had
made one more trip over the pass to be
married. Then he was intending to
build boat on the Lake of the -Four
Cantons In which to carry passengers
back and forth between Fleweln and
Lucerne.
One day came Leonardo Morelli, q
Florentine who had been to Paris with
some jewels which he had sold and
was taking back the gold he had re,
ceived for them. He engaged Fried
rich to conduct him across the pass
ITO the point on the Italian side where
how is the mouth Of the tunnel. whence
he could proceed by road to Lugano
: All day guide and man tofled up the
$jhountain and In the evening rested
1T an inn on the Italian side. The
4erchant carried his gold In leather

SAord conducted him to his room Sohm
Tossed his bag on table. causing the
gold pieces inside to give out the sound
~ coinsh This excited the cupidity Of
the landlord, and during the night.
.Then the merchant was asleep. he stole
Unto the room and took his gold. Then.
u order to avert suspicion. he opened
,A1he door to the guides room and drop
.led one Of the coins on the floor.
Z In the morning the merchant made
Y great ado about his loss, and the
'landIord suggested that he search the
guides a piece Of
gold was found on the door. Fried

unable to make the merchant believe
Npat he asaet to th.ef. The guide
CONSENTED, to continue the Journey to

CERT|CAT|ON.OF SEED
POTATOES DISCONTINUED

The rapid spread Of the powdery
ssab disease OF the potato in Maine
and New York and the difficulty
which has developed in detecting by
any practicable inspection, the pres
ence Of slight infection by this dis
ease has led the department, after
an experience Of five or six months
to discontinue further certifcation OF
seed stock from the infected districts
under quarantine. 1t Is believed this
seed certifi. cation under the existing
conditions, instead Of being a bene
fit to the purchaser, may become
source of positive danger, for the
reason that the purchaser Is given
thereby a false sense of security

The only Federal certihcation OF
potatoes as a condition OF movement

as table stock potatoes, and strong
effort is being made to place table

potatoes grown in Maine, both in dis

tricts, are under regulation as to In

tatoes grown outside Of the infected
regions of that state.
The modification makes no change
in the status OF the uninfected dis
trlcts of New York, which have been
free to ship seed potatoes without
Federal inspection.
The public is warned that all seed
potatoes hitherto shipped from the
infected districts may contain pow
derry scab and that there must nee

HOPE OF i. S.

Former Senator Scott of West Virginia
Says Industrial Salvation at End of the
War Depends on Protective Tariff.
Scores Democratic Weakened Policy

Salt Lake, March 1S.-Former U.
Senator Nathan b. Scott Of w.
virginia, who is at the Hotel Utah,
asserts that with the close of the
European war a serious blow will
be dealt to American industry I'M
less the people of the United States
are farsighted enough to return a
Republican administration to power.
The venerable senator, who fought in
the big campaigns which turned West
Virginia from a Democratic to Re
publican state, points out that pro-
tective tariff is the only method by
which the business of the United
States will be saved from destruction
II call your attention to the hor-
ors of the war;" said Senator Scott,
"When peace is finally concluded
there will be millions Of men, women
and children in Europe who will lack
the necessities of life. To get susten-
ance they will work for any sum.
They will have to in order to live.
The men who run factories over
there will employ the cheapest labor
they can get and will sell their
goods in this country at the lowest
possible price and make profit. With
the Democratic Underwood tariff in
force American industry would be at
terrible disadvantage in attempting
to compete with European products
and labor.
THE end of the European war will
not bring prosperity to this country,
but instead will bring disaster unless
the Republican party is in control OF
this government and gives the coun-
try a protective tariff.
Praises Utah Senators
In these days of unsettled bust
ness conditions Utah should be
proud to have at the national capital
two men of the caliber OF Senator
Reed Smoot and Senator George Su-
therland. They are firm believers in
Republicanism and Republican prin-
ciples and are among the foremost in
the Senate. They will ever stand

SPRING RELISHES

Springtime appetites should be as
fresh and unspoiled as is the spring
itself. But too often the spring ap.
petite is dulled, and it Is only by
dint of constant care that the house
keeper or cook is able to provide a
tempting diet on the spring table.
Winter fare pals in March And
the usual winter condiments and APP
petzers fail to work successfully.
Mustard pickles, chow chow, cold
slaw, olives-all have lost their win
ter trick of whetting the appetite
Celery has literally lost most of its
crispness and sweetness by spring
New appetizers and relishes must be
relied on to give point to the daily
diet.
Cucumbers are one reliable spring
relish. There is, of course, much
objection to cucumbers on the ground
of indigestibility. They are usually
ndigestible-that nobody can deny
But some people do not find them so,
and eat them without fear. So If
they are not taboo on your table,
make use of them. 1t is good plan
to slice them thinly and place them
in iced water in the refrigerator for
an hour before using them. Then
dress them with oil and vinegar and
serve them with fish. Or dice green
pepper and celery, with mayonnaise
in cups of lettuce leaves as a salad
Tomatoes, too, can be made to
serve admirably the purpose Of whet
ting the appetite. A very good app
, ether with which to begin dinner Is q
round of firm tomato, half an inch
thick on which Is placed teaspoon
full OF chopped green pepper, celery

dinner accompaniment. They may b'

The Swiss army. in the opinion Of the

that at tho beginning of the European
