nounces that if business conditions
are normal beginning with this
month all of the locomotives will be
put TO work moving crops, says the
Salt Lake Herald Republican There
Is heavy business to the northwest
at this time and moving the crops of
Utah, Idaho and Oregon will require
additional motive power. The plac-
ing of 10 locomotives in service by
the railroad will mean that more
than 400 engineers, hremen, brake
men and conductors in Pocatello,
Glenns Ferry, Salt Lake and Hunt
ington will be given employment at
full time. A number of the locamot-
ives have been tied up at the shops
for almost two years.
The threshing of grain In Idaho has
already begun and the railroad ope-
rating department has placed a large
number of box cars at all division
points for the quick handling OF the
crop movement. With the 2 engines
back in the service, the Oregon Short
Line officials are looking for one of
the busiest seasons since 1910. The
nj of tn a.
northwest ports in the last 6 months
has caused the railroads earnings to
be almost up to normal. according 10
the number OF engines. cars and men
employed. The grain movement, to-
gether with the moving OF the fruit
crop OF Idaho, has caused the Oregon
Short Line to release five engines al

sy Peter Rsdford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
psrtment OF the county fair. you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on q new power-that ID tho inspfra-
ton OF the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and maEnifcence OF
the scene-that il the spirit OF the
harvest. You can hear the voice OF
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking At your
door 1t is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour In contact with the purity
and perfection OF nature and to sweet
Ell your life with It's fragrance. elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power
These products rs food are fit for
the gods. and as an article OF COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products Of tho soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment. their perfection stirs the genius
In artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth OF character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process OF nature.
Before leaving tho parlor OF aericul-
ture where nature is parading In her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights OF perfec-
ton. let us pause and take = retro
spective view. How many OF you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised. they can seldom be
marketed at a profit Take the blush
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want OF q
market and as . result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalization goes
begging on the market at less than
cost OF production.
II is great to wander through the

on our ability to master science. bu

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation Is now In the midst Of
a controversy as to how best TO pro-
mote universal peace. That question
We will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations Is no
less important than peace between
nations and 1t is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs"
at industry: thrust bayonets into bus'
mess enterprises and bombarded ss'
riculturs with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs OF business. and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny OF commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter OF century We
have fought many q duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians ID
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point = pistol at the
heart OF honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to orr
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions OF war should be given
clearance to sail for the port OF Uni
versal Peace. Let US by all meant
have peace. but peace. like charity
should begin At homo.
