RUSSIANS ARE TO
KEEP FAITH

Assurances have reached Washing
ton that under no conditions that are
now conceivable will the provisional
government of Russia yield to the
oyertures from German and Austrian
Socialistic representatives to negoti.
ate separate peace.
The entente embassies. with this as.
surance before them, frankly confess
ed great relief. The gathering of So
cialists at Stockholm, known to be
fomented by Germans and Austrians.
was looked upon with dread and sus-
picion. and II was feared that cum
ming appeals to the altruistic princi-
pies of Socialism, the universal broth
erhood OF ,workingmen, and such con-
siderations. might force the provision.
al government to consent to separ-
ate peace to terminate the war.
1t is now learned from an authori-
tative source that these apprehensions
and misgivings were based upon mis-.
understanding Of the aims of the ex-
IRENE Soclallst1c element in Russia
and of the real strength OF the pro-
visional government. So far from con-
any peace on the basis of
existing governments, the advanced
Russian Socialists want to carry their
democratizing ideas by force into the
enemy countries. and to appeal to
their brother Socialists in Austria and
Germany to rise in revolt, oyerturn
the monarchies and establish true So
cialistic republics in their places.
This movement is reported gather
ing strength rapidly in Russia among
the soldiers and workingmen. The
former are falling into line again to
renew the campaign in the east and
the workingmen are going back to

SHORTAGE OF MINERS
IN THE WEST

Never before in the history OF min
ing in the west has there been the
general scarcity of miners that
there is today. In every mining camp
in Utah and Nevada there are more
men working than usual and wages
are the highest they have ever been.
In nearly all the camps the wages
OF the men have been raised, being
based on the price of metals. Unusu.
al metal prices have existed for the
past two years and this has made
every mining camp prosperous and
brought to life many old camps and
many news ones.
A sign OF the advance in mining is
a comparison OF the metal, prices.
For 80 years prior to 1915 the aver.
age price Of Lake copper was s13.s4
per hundred pounds. Today II Is
from s32 to s35 per hundred. The av.
erage price OF led for the same period
was $4.23 per hundred, compared with
50 today. The average of spelter for
the period named was $5.03, while at
present II is around 1915 a hundred.
A report from Phoebe says that the
old camp is short on miners in spite
of the fact that the Phoebe Amalgam.
ated has closed down. The same con-

WORLD FEDERATION

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. April FL
The grand alliance" between the

as practiced by Germany gives rise to

mann. because we have used II SO
long in empty rhetoric. But no other
idea is big enough to describe the
alliance. 1t is NO longer an offensive
defensive military agreement among
diplomats. 1t is growing into union
of peoples determined to end forever
that intriguing. adventurous national
ism which has torn the world for three
centuries.
''The war is dissolving into a stu.
pendous revolution. A few months
ago we still argued about the Bagdad
corridor. stragedc frontiers, colonies.
These were the stakes of the diplo-

changed today by the revolution in

at all the mines Is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as the smelters are
able to take the ores. Every smelter
around Salt Lake is now running to
capacity and in spite OF the fact that
the efficiency and capacity OF most
OF the plants have been increased
they are unable to take on any more
ore at present.
Another complaint of the lack of
good miners was received from Tintic

HOW ALL CAN HELP

men discuss means of aid, some
of which sound strange in Am
erican ears, there are measures
familiar in theory, asking no de-
lay, certain in results, which
housewives can employ in the
general interest. They can cut
out waste, which is more griev-
Gus here than in any other coun-
try. They can curb lavishness,
which is sometimes ostentation
but more often carelessness,
without a self-sacrifice which is
even wort regretting.
They car cut off at once and
altogethc re purchase of foods
which hG,c Deen cornered or are
held at the source for extortion-
ate prices. Such foods are espe-
cially potat es, onions and cab
bages. f 25e are not prime
necessaric,~ substitutes are OBJ
tainable fcr them.
But beyond all substitution,
which is of the moment, the
country needs to stop throwing
away food, in it's homes and it's
hotels. Much simpler bills of
fare in restaurants should result
in an actual improvement in the
quality of food. Households
may well cut down their meat
requirements from the assumed
average of four and one-half
pounds per week for each mem
ner to the two and one-half
pounds of the British "honor"
dietary. Garbage waste can be
greatly reduced.
To do something for the coun-
Try is an impulse of all right
minded people. Here is way,
sire and unbeatable and in
slant in effect, in which all can
help.-New York World.

Search Goes On

The search ior the bodies Of
the five men who were drowned
at O'Brien last week, continues.
The melting snow has caused
much high water. The search
has been made all down the river
t o Tygarts Junction. Frank
Brown has been in charge of the
work and has little hope of locat-
ing the bodies until the water is
low and clear. 1t is the belief
now that they will be found down
the river ne little distance, even
if all are found.
Almost hundred people are lin
ing the banks some with boats
and RATS. but it seems all efforts
are in vain.

SAD! (But True)
are in vain

There was once young Mayor named
Huph,
Who pulled off all kinds of raw stuph,
But he faded away,
One bright election day,
When the people all said they had enuph,
There once was bunch of councilmen
fohr,
Named Jimmy, Layco, Tacky and Mower,
But they disappeared,
And the people all cheered,
And we hope we hear Of them no mohr.
We once knew a copper named Lied,
With bay window some four feet wydc,
But he no longer shows,
With his snurled up nose,
For he too went out with the tyde.

OLDER But STRONGER

To'be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because In the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

AN ECONOMIC
PROBLEM SOLVED


to revolutionize the floor mill
ing business through the appli-
cation of national advertising
to secure wide distribution for
the products of many different
flour mills all over the country,
has just been announced by the
Community Marvel Millers AS
scciation. of Greensboro, KY, an
organization formed by more
than 1000 millers. Mr.. VIM.
Scrimgeour, of this city, is one
While in the food crisis states
of these millers who have joined
together to manufacture a STAN
dard grade Of flour, using the
same milling machinery and
marketing the flour under one
brand, "Flavo Flour Nature
Favored"
The Community Marvel Mill
ers Association will spend$100,-
900 this year on advertising, in
Guiding space in magazines and
newspapers. The advertising
campaign was launched on Feb
ruary 10, when a full page in
the Saturday Evening Post was
used. No flour made in the
United States will be more
widely advertised than that
which is made here at Mr..
Scrimgeour's mill.
To insure a uniform quality
of flour, a Service Department
has been established in the Off
ces of the Association, with
headquarters in Greensboro, KY,
where, the milling machinery
used by all of the members is
made. Once every month the
flour made by Mr.. Scrimgeour
and by every other member of
the Association, will be tested
by chemists in the service de-
partment and graded according
to certain standards of purity
and flavor. If the flour produc-
ed by any of the members ever
grades less than So per cent,
that miller will not be allowed
to market flour under the trade
name, "Flavo." The Service
Department will also furnish the
members with expert advice
from its production engineers,
relative to the most efficient
manufacturing methods.
The flour made by all mem
bers of the Association will be
packed in the same style Of bags,
and every Community Marvel
Miller will get the benefit of the
great national advertising cam
paign, in { idition to the benefit
of local newspaper advertising.
In announcing his participa-
ton in the new sales undertake
ing, Mr.. Scrimgeour said that it
was evident that an economic
problem was to be solved by the
Association, in that a flour of
the highest class was to be made
in thousand or more mills and
sold locally, thus eliminating
high freight rates and the prof
it's of the big wholesaler.
