THE NICKEL.

Oh, here's to the nickel,
So shiney and bright
That serves me SO often
From morning till night.
It takes me to business,
Or blackens my shoes;
1t pays for a smoke,
Or provides me with news.
When l go to the movies
1t takes me inside;
If l travel by jitney
1t pays for the ride.
It's a tip for the waiter,
The barber or kid
Who brushes my clothes
And then hands me my lid.
1t quenches my thirst,
Or it buys me a stew
1t sure beats the deuce
What a nickel will do.
Sos here's to the nickel,
Let loud praises swell
To this wonderful coin
That serves me so well.

Frances Hansn Brand yesterday in
the course of an examination prelim-
mary to trial of an action for annul-
ment begun by her husband, James H.
Brand. a wealthy munition Broker,
described how the sobrfquet the Nil
Iionaire Girl of Peacock Alley was
applied to her. The young woman
.cooIiy made damaging admissions
concerning her life before she was
married
The broker in his action declared
he was ignorant of his wife's past,
and, therefore, seeks to have the mar
rage annuIIed. Mrs. Brand insisted
her husband was fully acquainted
with the facts. as she had disclosed
them to him before their marriage,

might furnish cause for embarrass-
ment to him and refused his FIRST Of

Mrs. Brand told the lawyer 1t was
through a coincidence that she be-
came known as the millionaire Girl
of Peacock Alley and the title was
undeserved. Her husband, she con-
tinued. was fully cogntZant Of that
as she had revealed It to him In the
following manner:
Now you know, Jimmie said to
Mr.. Brand, that I have been known
as the millionaire Girl" I am not
the millionaire GiTL"' Then I ex-
planned how I got the notoriety.
Il said. Jimmie I was on my way
west and stopped in Kansas City and
there was q girl whose father was
supposed to be a millionaire and she
happened to have a thousand dollars
and lots of jewelry. She went to
Kansas City, and when / got there /
put a thousand dollars and my jewels
down at the hotel and some newspa-

Scent LOAF SEEN
IN WAKE Of WHEAT
ON S22O BASIS

The Scent loaf containing fourteen
ounces Is in sight today as a result
Of Governmental wheat price fixing
at 50 20 a bushel for the 1917 crop.
Tho wheat administration believes
that while farmers may be displeased
TO some extent at a price lower than
they expected, the new system will
make their profits sure, will prevent
speculation, give miIlers and bakers
a fair margin. and assure the work
ingman OF fair-priced bread.
Rely on Farmers' Patriotism
The price-fixing committee said to-
day that It believed the farmers. as =
patriotic duty, ought TO be willing to
reiinquish some OF their profits for
the good Of the whole war cause
The new prices will prevail not
alone for the United States, but also
for the allies, for whom purchases
will be made through the national
wheat corporation
President Wilson expressed himself
as confident the price fixing will
stabilize the wheat business, and work
for the general good
The price-h1inE committee started
with two extremes, the element pro-
posing S1.S4, and the producers $3.50.
Compromises, however, were made
with the resultant 800 fixed on the
basis Of No. / Northern spring wheat
delivered at Chicago.
The committee rook into considera-
tion the subnormal yield OF wheat.
the fact that the nation is at war and
business conditions are disturbed,
while at the same time figuring that
production ought to be encouraged
and the ultimate consumer not dis
cour1gsd.
Called Fair to FarmerH.
That the 1920 wheat price is fair
TO the farmers IL indicated by a state
ment issued today by the Department
Of Agriculture, which shows that
S2.49 was the highest average price
paid to producers during the last ten
years This price was reached last
June.
The average yearly price of No. I
Northern spring wheat on the Chi
caEo market during the last ten years
was $1-26, ranging from 81 cents in
1913 TO SAT- this year. The average
price paid to producers during this
period was $1-OT, ranging from 20
cents in 1913 to 81 this year.

GENEROSITY OF THE
PAROWAN DRAMATIC

Tonight the Parowan Dramatic Co.
will present the play, Facing the
Music" at the Ward Hall, and will
donate the entire proceeds to the mis-
sionaries in the field from the Cedar
City wards. This is most generous
and unselfish service, and one which
the people of Cedar City should APP
preciate and recognize by filling the
house to the doors.
In addition to the charitable side of
the question, it is stated that the play
is very good one and fully worth
the price of admission. We notice in
the cast of characters, which will be
found in another part of this issue
such names as Will l.. Adams, Scott
Matheson, Lawrence Miller, Taylor
Miller, Pearl Whitney, and others well
known to the theatre going public
and which are a guarantee that the
production will be of a high order.

Is it patriotic to purchase these
bonds?
Yes; every American who sub
scribes to the justice Of the course Of
the United States in entering and con
Quoting the war we are now engaged
in should subscribe to the Liberty
Loan Bond issue to the extent of his
or her financial ability.
Every American who subscribes to
the belief that an American should
stand by his or her country should
subscribe to the Liberty Loan Bond
issue.
Every American who loves Amer
lea and is jealous Of Americas honor
should subscribe to the Liberty Bond
issue. The real success of the loan is
to be more determined by the number
of Americans participating in it than
by the amount subscribed The spirit
Of the Nation is going to be judged
abroad, especially by our enemies,
more by the number Of its American
men and women who support this bond
issue than by the mere amount of
money subscribed
