COL. ROGERS SUGGESTS
WAY TO GET RECRUITS

Walter Rogers, of Della, was
in the city Tuesday in the interest
OF a new recruiting scheme that
he proposes to present to the War
Department. Col. Rogers suggests
for the government to declare a
moratorium during the time of
the enlistment and firmly believes
that this will solve the military
problem, as far as numbers goes.

SUGAR BEET SEED
GIVES A PROFIT OF d.
$3.50 PER ACRE

The Experiment Station Of the
Utah Agricultural College is in re-
ceipt Of check from the Amalgam-
ated Sugar Company for two hundred
ninety-two dollars and sixty cents for
209O pounds Of beet seed raised last
year on one and third acres Of land
at the College farm at Greenville.
The cost Of production including
500 rent per acre was $95. The
profits per acre after all costs Of
production were paid was $3.50.
This is the fourth year that COM
mercial seed has been grown on the
college farm successfully and prof
1t which proves that the possibilities
of making it an important industry
in our state are very good.

TEST COMING
SOON

The death OF William G. Brown,
Democratic Congressman from the
Second West Virginia district, means
that special election will soon be
held to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Brown
had been elected three times, sue
ceeding a Republican at the election
OF 1910 by a plurality of little less
than 1000 and winning his third term
two years ago, by margin of slight
" more than 1900.
West Virginia is State where the
policies OF the present administra'
ton have had a peculiarly lethal eff
feet upon industry, and the forthcom'
ing election in Mr.. Browns district
will afford fairly good test of the
temper Of the voters toward Democ
racy in general.
West Virginia Republicans feel Ger
tain that they will regain the dis
trict, which was once represented by
Judge Dayton OF the Federal court
and the outcome should be looked up
on as symptomatic OF what is to hap
pen everywhere in November.

Pershing's Progress

San Antonio, Texas, March 22.--
What progress General Pershing has
made in his pursuit of Villa since
Monday was not known at General
Funston's headquarters today. A re-
port from General Pershing was re.
ceived but 1t dealt with affairs Of
last Monday, saying that 1t had been
reported to him that villa and the
Carranza troops were engaged near
Namiquipa.
At that time a detachment Of the
Seventh cavalry had reached Cruces,
only a few miles north Of Namiqui.
pa, and one Of the aeroplanes sent
south from Casas Grandes there was
in communication with that force.
Whether the Americans came into
contact with Villas men yesterday
Or today was merely guesswork here.
The aeroplane, whose driver is be-
lieved to have been Lieutenant Cor
rell, reported missing south OF Casas
Grandes, was last seen going over
Colonia Juareg. a settlement near
Casas Grandes, according to General
Pershing's report. All but one Of the
aviation squadron are accounted for
according to reports received by Gen.
eral Funston. These reports show
two other machines temporarily out
Of commission because OF accident.
General Funston has no doubt that
in their own way the Carranza troops
are cooperating in the pursuit of VIII
la, but between the American forces
and the Mexican forces there has
been no communication and neither
side has knowledge of the details Of
the others plans.
The greater part Of the Mexican
newspapers that lave reached here
have counselled their readers to re-
main calm and have refrained from
criticism OF the United States for
sending American troops into Next
co. One Of the exceptions was Ell De.
mocrata. published in Chihuahua:

Treason, 1t attacked villa for attack.
ing Columbus, but continued:
I'VE condemn and protest in the
most energetic manner against the
invasion by the Yankees Of our ter
ritory; for although they may con-
slider villa as a political personality
and a national representative, they
cannot in any manner consider his
assault on Columbus, N. NJ. as an
offense Of one nation against anoth-

FATHERS DAY
A EtASCO

Boston, which can usually be de.
pended upon to do the unexpected,
sought as a part of the Baby week
celebration to hold Fathers day
meeting. Boston was determined that
the Pilgrim Father, who was once
very important parsonage, should be.
come SO again at least for one day.
But the effort was not success,
largely apparently because father
was not interested.
The Fathers day meeting was book
ed to be held at Faneuil hall Thurs
day of Baby week. The affair was
widely advertised and father could
not but have known what was expect
cd of him. 1t was to have been a
noon meeting and at 1910 o'clock
the place Of meeting was enlivened
only by the presence Of a policeman,
two newspaper reporters, the super
intendent of the building and his as
sistant and three eminent citizens
who were booked to deliver inspiring
addresses.
Everybody was there except father
apparently, but at 1915 sigh of
relief was heard because two men,
who may have been fathers for all
that anybody knows, came in and
seated themselves in the vast empIi-
ness Of the house. Five minutes later
no further spectators being received
it was announced by notice on the
doors Of the building that "the faith
er's meeting has been unavoidably
postponed"
Humorous complaints are always
being made about the square deal
which father ought to get, but never
does get, and especially as to his I'M
importance compared to mother. Fa-
Their, however. never pays much at
tention and is always conspicuous by
his absence from the little affairs ar
ranged in his honor. Father Is ordi.
narily too busy making a living to
bother about the sentimental side Of
the business. Herald Republican.

FLY TALK

When people discuss the fly evil
frankly and seriously they use dirty
talk necessarily. 1t is a nasty sub
iect but we are bound to consider 1t
for our own protection and to take
steps to abate the evil.
How does typhoid fever spread!
Generally it is communicated when
the solid and liquid food to be eaten
by healthy persons is contaminated
in some manner with human excre-
ment from someone who has the dis
ease.
This is where the house Nv gets

intestinal tract Is emptied into the
outside toilet on his premises. Flies
swarm about the toilet vault until
dinner time at your house. Then
some OF them attend your meal. They
alight on the food and poison 1t with
germs-either from their hairy feet
or by depositing speck which also
contains germs.
Do not pooh pooh this statement.
Ask your doctor II it is not the truth
Then get busy and help kill the flies,
Thus you may keep death out Of
your home.

last month and showed how vast an
opportunity for the training Of offlc-

sheer failure to utilize the most OBJ

no other country possesses any such
equipment as we already have for
the training of officers. Our present

DR.. James stated that or one &C.

every one of whom ought to have
been busy from morning till night

So far as national defense Is con-
cerned, we would be better off to put
the single Second Lieutenant in sole
charge of one Of our typical army
posts, and assign all his superiors,
and colleagues to tasks of training.
