POPE ASKS KAISER
FOR PEACE TERMS

New York, Feb. 2s.-A cablegram
from Rome says the pope has made
tentative approach to the kaiser
and asked what peace terms he
would consider.
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Is said to be backing the pope in
this latest endeavor.
The pontiff is understood to have
pointed out that the military honor
of the German allies is intact, and
that better terms can probably be
obtained now than later.
Mediation, however, is deemed i'm.
possible, as it is claimed If it were
offered by the pope it would be TAX.

main cause for the pope's optimism
is based upon the growing scarcity

YOUR BOYS AND GIRLS

All Of Us who are mothers know
how difficult 1t is to get the iron
into all parts of the tiny dresses
when the skirts are scanned halfway
up.
Open the dresses and even the pet

will cease. One must take care,
however to have the little, fiat. thin
buttons of pearl or the crocheted but
tons, for there must not be any hard
little Jumps Of buttons to bruise ba'

It is best to have the petticoat

of the head, as can also the dresses

There is no better way Of spread
ing disease than by chewing pen
or pencil previously chewed by some
body else, and while teachers at

PLAN TO UTILIZE
COUNTY PRISONERS
FOR ROAD WORK

Salt Lake, Feb. 28. -Informally
the board of county commissioners
decided to inaugurate the system of
working county prisoners on the
roads, Sheriff John s. Corless advis.
ed the board that about twenty-five
men can be furnished from the coun-
ty jail daily providing the county fur.
nishes some means Of transportation.
The board agreed to purchase a new
automobile for the use of the sher-
IFS Office and to convert the old car
into truck for hauling the prisoners
to and from the scene Of the road
work.
Sheriff Corless told the commits.
sioners that about one third of the
prisoners in the Jail can be worked
on the roads. He said there are now
about 100 inmates. When the board
of commissioners considered tn emat-
ter last year, Andrew Smith, Jr., then
sheriff, advised the commissioners
that the plan to put the prisoners on
the roads would not be advisable in
that many inmates of the jail could
not be worked in that they were
awaiting trial or appeal and were not
actual county prisoners. The actual
county prisoners, he said, we're need.
ed for work about the Jail.
1t was suggested today that It
would be good thing to put those
prisoners to work who are serving
time for failure to provide for their
families. 1t is possible that an ar
rangement can be made whereby the
families will be paid by the county
the money which is earned by the
work of the prisoners. The sheriff
believed that two guards would be
sufficient to handle % prisoners
while they are working on the roads.

NEW COMET DISCOVERED

2. Buy in Quantities. The plan
of making ones cellar storage
plant does not apply to vegetables
alone. April eggs can be laid down
by methods we'll understood by good
housekeepers. So can June butter.
AS for apples, there should be "a bar.
rel OF sound ones in every house this
winter, as they are cheaper than usl-
al.
A Bellefontaine, Ohio, man, who
has been In the grocery business for
long time, attributes the present
high cost Of living almost wholly to
the hand to mouth manner In which
people do their buying nowadays and
the rage for purchasing everything in
packages instead Of in bulk. I'm
doubtedly there is considerable truth
in this contention.
3. Economy In Food. DR.. William
Brady says that the cheapest foods
are generally the most nutritious and
digestible. The waste of food in the
average American home Is appalling.
We squander money on fancy arti
cles of low nutritive value, and we
use little or no judgment in prepar-
ing what we eat with view to OBJ
tanning all the energy there is in it.
Meat is the eostliest staple article
of food and most people eat too much
of It. Fish is cheaper and just as
nourishing and digestible. Other
comparatively cheap and good arti
cles of food, neglected in some quar-
ters, include cheese, oleomargarine,
beans, rice, oatmeal, macaroni, bana
mas, peanuts, peas, brown sugar, corn
meal, cabbage, onions and potatoes.

MAY TRUST HOUSE
TO REMOVE JUDGES
Substitute for impeachment viii Be
Introduced In
Congress

Washington. Feb. ga substi.
tute for impeachment as a means for
removing unfit federal judges will
be embodied in bill providing a
constitutional amendment shortly to
be introduced in congress.
The general idea in this PROPOSE.
tion is that a federal Judge should
be removable on a two thirds vote
of the house, voting on the bare ques-
ton as to his suitability to remain
on the bench.
Remedy Has Failed
The impeachment remedy has fail.
ed. II has been found impossible
under this procedure to remove judg.
es, except where they are VIGOROUSLY
guilty of some obvious unfitness.
1t is recognized by public men that
judge may also be unfit by the lack
Of real judicial temperament, preju.
dice, i'll health, or mere laziness, and
that 1t ought to be possible to re-
move man who Is only an obstruc.
ton to Justice.
speer Case Sample
In the recent case of Judge Speer,
whose impeachment was sought, the
committee found that the Judge was
hopelessly ineffective as a Judge and
that practically all the accusations
were supported by the evidence; yet
the committee was unwilling to rec
ommend impeachment and instead,
recommended that another Judge be
assigned to do the work, leaving
Judge Speer on the bench and sal
airy roll.
This illustrates the hopelessness Of
remedying the obvious defects in the
system Of federal judiciary. Rapidly
these courts are becoming cucumber
ed with men like Speer, Wright, Day
ton and Killets.

Made to the Secretary of State, OF
the State of Utah, of the
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-07-22

banks may be supplemented by alfalfa hay when weeds are scarce. About one sheep for every two or three acres of irrigated land is considered "a reasonable number. This will call for about 125,OOO sheep to be maintained on ir- rigated farms in Arizona.
 This number of animals should return at least $780, 900 a year from lambs and wool. This is a net profit as the sheep have more than paid their way by the de- Struction of weeds.
 It is certain that farmers on irrigated land as we'll as those on dry farms will use sheep to advantage in the near fu- ture. Intelligent farmers would do we'll to fence their ditches and purchase a few sheep suitable for this pur- pose. Tunis crosses have proven themselves to be eS- pecially vigorous and heat re- sistant, so that they. are suit able for the warm valleys. It is hoped that every farmer in the irrigated districts will have at least a few of these sheep as they will pay a hand some revenue.
 Following this one sugges- tion alone, the farmers on ir- rigated lands in Arizona may save at least one-half a mil lion dollars worth of labor in keeping their ditches clean and will obtain a like amount from the sales of wool and mutton. Progressive farmers are now realizing this fact, and one may see small flockS located in many places on ir- farms.
