This blamed things burnt out"
growled Warren, trying to switch on
the shaded light by the bed.
Then Id better get another bulb. i"
Helen was turning down the covers.
We might need it in the night
Out through the dark dining-room.
through the swinging pantry door and
she groped for the chain from the high
kitchen light. Inverting the stepladder
chair she climbed UP to the top shelf
over the ice-box.
Stepping down with a fresh electric
bulb IN its corrugated casing. Helen's
glance fell on the towel rack by the
sink. The pronged arms held a damp
dish towel and two napkins-the BEST
napkins. soiled and rumpled.
Surely Nora would not use them for
dish towels! But still damp, their
crumpled detection was unmistakable
proof OF their menial service. Her best
guest napkins! She had paid 90 cents
apiece Just to have them monogram
med!
Several times she had seen napkins
tho everyday ones-hanging on this
rack, and now it dawned upon her that
Nora made a practice OF drying the
dishes with soIled napkins. She could
use them once or twice and throw
them into the wash. 1t saved her the
trouble of washing out dish towels.
Tonight, having the Stevens for din
ner, they had had the best napkins.
And here they were on the towel rack
"a proof of Nora's ruthless disregard
of everything to conserve her own Ia
Dor.
With flaming Indignation Helen
snatched the napkins from the rack,
threw them into the laundry basket.
and hung in their place two clean dish
towels from the pantry drawer.
What the deuce's keeping you out
there?" beloved Warren from the
bedroom.
II was just looking for the bulbs, ,"
as she hurried back. They were way
up on the top shelf"
Screwing in the new lamp, she was
soon ready for bed With an effort
she conquered her urging desire to tell
Warren about Nora's latest misde-
meanor. To talk about it would only
upset her more. She must put 1t out
of her mind until morning.
But unfortunately Helen's thoughts
held tenaciously to all worries and now
as she vainly courted sleep the abuse
of the napkins assumed an Importance
out of all proportion.
That any girl should use fine, mono
grammed napkins for dish towels!
That she should use ANY napkins for
such a purpose! 1t was a filthy, un-
heard of practice!
Always her maids imposed upon her.
She always found that they did some
dreadful thing. She had caught Dora
brushing her teeth in the pantry sink,
Anna had worn her stockings, and
Jane had used the sheets for the iron
ing board. But none of these offenses
seemed quite so malicious as taking
the good napkins for dish towels.
Nora's one thought was to save her
self. She did everything with the least
possible expenditure Of labor. She
had chipped and broken innumerable
dishes-piling them up in unsparirg
haste to clear the table in a single
trip. And Helen strongly suspected
that she put some chemical in the
clothes so she would not have to rub
them.
Here. stop that thrashing around. -

Holland Reviews Growth Of
CommerceBetweenS South
America and States.

Among other impressive things con-
tanned In President Wilson'S Bunalo
address was q brief explanation OF
thu methods adopted BY Germany be-
fore the war to secure and increase
her foreign markets.
The President made public some IN
formation which our own manufac-
turers and exporters have long known.
nameIy-that II German manufactur-
srs could not market their products
In foreign lands in competition with
the products Of the United States or
Great Britain or France then the Ger
man government allowed subsidies
whereby the German exporters were
able through these governmental bene-
factions successfully to compete with
other nations.
That has been especially true of
Eouth America, and the late Norman
B. Ream spoke OF 1t a few days after
the European war broke out as a Ger
man method which American manu-
facturers had been compelled to face,
often unsuccessfully. while seeking
markets IN Australia and the Far
East.
Now that Germany can no longer
subsidize, at least until after the war
is ended, her manufacturers who are
seeking foreign markets, We are be-
ginning to see the effect Of the with
drawal Of that paternal patronage in
our own trade relations with South
America. Probably the Federal au-
thorities will be able by and by, after
having analysed our international
trade with other nations, also to show
the effect Of the withdrawal of Ger
many from foreign markets and the
cessation OF her competition upon our
own trade with other countries.
Vast Growth shown.
1t would have been impossible to
report that in eight months of this
calendar year the United States sold
and sent to South America commodi-
ties of the value Of s1ss, ,000, 900 had Ger
man methods still prevailed in the
South American countries. Further
more, by reason OF war conditions and
the imperative need Of our industries
for various kinds of raw material, we

American industry must soon give

maintained and increased after the
war is ended
IOf course, our government will not
subsidize American manufactures. Our
industries can. however, maintain
themselves and increase their markets
In South America by adopting several

DIR. Middleton Talks Road Matters

DR.. G. w. Middleton of Salt Lake
City spent yesterday in Cedar City,
having come to perform some opera
tons at the Southern Utah Hospital,
and found time to drop into our sane
tum and chat for few minutes. The
Doctor has not forgotten the time
when he was a resident Of this county
and he still has a fond spot in his
heart for it's rocks and rills, and pleas
ant places. He is an enthusiastic adj
mirer of Zion Canyon and the Cedar
Canyon and is anxious to do every
thing in his power to bring these ha-
vens to the attention Of the touring
public, and to make them more cas-
lily reached, and he feels that this is
the supreme opportunity for the peo-
pie of Iron and Washington counties
to help themselves by the improve
ment of their roads, and by the OBJ
tanning, if possible, of the assistance
Of the convict camp this winter to
complete the approach to the Zion
Canyon, from which point the Gov
eminent has promised to take care OF
the roads and trails in good shape.

OLD TIMER OF IRON
co. COMES BACK
Returns After 2j Years Spent in East
to Make His Home in Best
Country on Earth.

j. NJ. Wilson, who with his two
sons is located on homesteads in the
Escalante Valley, five miles north of
Lund, was in Cedar City yesterday,
and made The Record a pleasant call.
In the course of our conversation it
developed that Mr.. Wilson is by no
means a stranger to this part of the
country, though he informs us that
this was his first visit to Cedar City
in 26 years. From 1880 to 1889, Mr..
Wilson resided in Kanarraville, and
under the firm name of Brown e. Will
son, was engaged in the sheep bust
ness in this county. He claims the
distinction Of being the first man to
ship car as well as train load of
sheep out of this part of the country
by rail. At that time the terminus of
the Union Pacific or Oregon Short
Line Road was at Milford. The only
means of marketing sheep at that
time deemed to be feasible was via
the long overland trail to the north
and east, which often required all
summer for it's accomplishment.
When Mr.. Wilson announced his in
tention Of shipping a car of mutton
to Chicago as test, by rail, he was
solumnly warned Of the risk he was
taking, and was advised to take plen-
ty of money along to pay the deficit
he was sure to have to meet. When
he reached Council Bluffs, Iowa, he
sold his car of sheep for a dollar a
head more than he had paid for them
the purchaser assuming in addition all
expenses of transportation.
He returned to Iron and Garfield
counties and soon had a train load of
mutton en- route to the eastern mar
ket.
He bought more than 10000 head of
sheep in Iron and Garfield counties
for NJ f. Gibson of Parks, Nebr., pay
ing from 1925 to $2.75 per head for
them. He also bought large num-
Der of the sheep Of the old Cedar City
Coop. Sheep Co., and when he left
Iron county he shipped 400 head of
stock sheep and 40 head of horses to
his farm in Illinois. He remembers
we'll some of the men prominent in
business at that time, among them
Henry Leigh and u. T. Jones who were
conducting the old Cedar City Coop.
Store, which was the principal store
at that time.
Mr.. Wilson and his sons have three
homestead entries, and three stock,
or grazing entries in this county. He
is a practical farmer and they are
employing scientific methods in the
cultivation of his land, and as result
while some of the homesteaders in
that locality are becoming discouraged
and are moving away, he is harvesting
excellent crops of corn, rye, potatoes,
sugar cane, garden truck Of all kinds,
sudan grass, etc, and practically has
their farms on a paying basis.
He is a very interesting character
and one that it was a pleasure to meet
