CHRISTMAS DRAWS NEAR.

"HRISTMAS holidays, that best of all season
Y of the year, when every ones heart seems
permeated with that feeling of peace on earth,
goodwill to all men," is rapidly drawing near.
The stores are filled with goods suggestive of
Santa Claus and his annual visit to the little
Less than month remains before the ushering
in of the beautiful day. Ah beautiful to us, but
how is it looked. upon by the wretched people in
practically all of the European countries? How
do they feel at the approach of this Christmas,
after more than year of the most sanguinary
warfare the world has ever known? What is the
condition of these wretched families, even in Eng
land ITSELF which is perhaps one of the most for
tunate thus far of the contending nations. Few
are the families which include men of military
age that have not given of their number one or
more valiant sons, father, or brother as offer
ing to the terrible God of War. According to the
admissions of England itself, fully 100000 of
these soldiers have gone to the land from whence
no traveller warrior returns. Possibly this num-
Der greatly under states the facts. This means,
then, that probably half million homes in Eng
land alone there is one or more vacant chairs"
that will remain so permanently, and that many
many others of the bread winners, who are ex-

on such occasions, are absent and that in conse-
quence Santa will have to pass thousands and

LAST WEEK OF CONTEST.

NNLY one more week remains before the
~ close of our big voting contest, and the
awarding of the automobile and other prizes 1t
is the home stretch of the race, and those
who desire to help any of the candidates in the
race should do so now. AS explained in the rules
of the contest, which have been kept before our
readers prominently during the contest, all votes
or remttances emitting to votes must either be
in the ballot box in post Office and postmarked
not later than the 10th of December. If you have
not already cast your votes for one of the con-
testants, do not delay too long and lose the op-
portunity.
And do not lose your chance Of winning
little easy money by submitting guess as to
which candidate will win the car and the amount
of his or her vote. Only subscribers who have
figure ~" or higher at the right of their name
on the margin of your papers wrappers, or
who makes a payment sufficient to extend their
subscriptions into 1917, will be eligible for the
guessing contest. This is the last time the votes
will be counted until after the contest Closes and
guesses Will have to be based on or estimated
from the vote published in this issue, or nforma-
ton obtained from the candidates or their friends
No further information will be obtanable from
The Record office by anyone, relative to the vote
or movements of any of the candidates. 1t would
possible after the appearance of this issue of The
Record. If your subscription is paid into 1916
only it would be well to pay for another year now
assisting your favorite candidate in the contest
and at the same time securing chance for your
self on the prizes offered for the best guesses
The contest is going to finish, as it has been
conducted thus far, with absolute fairness to all
contestants and all parties concerned. No candi-
date will be permitted to obtain through the pa
per or its employees any unfair information, or
advantage. 1t is up to each candidate in the con-
test to secure all the support possible for their
candidacy and use their own best judgment in
the matter. We have no advise for anyone, other
than to get all the business possible, for it is the
votes and business turned in that will win the
car.
The Record feels only one regret, and that is
that it has only one automobile to give away We
would greatly enjoy presenting each of the con-
testants who have worked theoretically and con-
sistently with a car But of course only
one person can win the car and it is up to the can
didates and our subscribers and patrons generally
to determine who the fortunate person shall be.

During the past autumn months, we are told
that eleven hundred cars of hogs were shipped
through Iron county over the Salt Lake Route to
the California markets-through Iron county.
mind you, which is one of the best corn and hog
districts in the United States, and is practically
800 miles nearer to the coast market than Idaho,
from which the hogs were shipped What Woe
full lack of enterprise is manifested by the show
ing on the part of local people. There are thou
sands OF acres of the best of corn land in this
county which have not yet been even scratched.
There is country enough in this county to support
a population of $4,000 from the production of
corn and hogs alone. And yet this year not more
than dozen cars of hogs will be exported from
the county, and practically this number of pork
ers will be shipped back in the form of dressed and
cured meats. Next year, from present prospects,
there will be railroad to Cedar City, which will
greatly facilitate the handling of this business,
and the people should exert themselves to bring
every available acre of land under cultivation,
and thereby increase the business of the proposed
railroad.

1T is a mater of congratulation to the people of
Cedar City in particular and all southern Utah in
general, that everything seems exceedingly favor
able for the early building of the proposed branch
railroad from Lund to Cedar City. The leading
people of this city are taking hold of the matter
with spirit that brooks such thing failure or
undue delay. A railroad is the thing that is need
ed now for the development of this section of the
country, and apparently, railroad is what we
are going to have, even if we have to do the Ii
on's share of it ourselves In the past Cedar City
has shown that it is capable of arising to an emer-
gency and it is going to give another manifest
alton of this kind in the future. Besides this,
we have the promise of lot of splendid help from
the other settlements of the district, as well as
from the Salt Lake Route and other powerful and
potent interests in the north. Representatives of
some of these interests will shortly visit us and
go more into details in the undertaking in hand.
Watch for the announcement of meeting with
them in the near future.

TOO MUCH RAIN.

Memphis Tenn. July 13.-Too much
rain for the good of the cotton plant
has fallen in all sections Of The belt
outside, of Texas during the past two
weeks. The plant, as a rule, has
grown rapidly in height, but has not
branched out as it should. Cultiva-
ton has fallen behind and many fields
are foul with grass and weeds. How
ever, whatever damage that may have
been done may be easily overcome by
a period of warm. dry weather, in the
opinion of correspondents.
The Texas conditions are very favor
able and the plant made good prog
ress, much of the initial lateness hay
ing been overcome in the last fort
night. Drought was broken in the cen
trail portion OF the state and in most
sections of the South. Aside from
the spread of the boil weeyi com
plants are negligible.
Boil weeyils are reported in large
numbers in Texas, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi and Alabama. In ether states
damage from the pest is quite small
to date.
