ABOUT THE
u. OF U. ROAD
SRO III COMING

The dramatic department of the
U. of U. has long list of successes
to its credit, and last night it added
one more to the artistic collection,
says Salt Lake paper. In the OPP
inion of many nothing more charm
ing has been given by the club for
many years. The production was
the popular play THE Rainbow"
originally given in Salt Lake with
Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton
in the leading parts. 1t then left
so decided an impression that it is
matter of wonderment that it has
not been essayed before by stock
companies and amateur performers.
1t possesses every element of popu-
larity and 1t is peculiarly suited to
the abilities of the U. of U. players
selected for this years presentation.
The audience was big and brilliant.
and included besides the regular
turnout. Governor and Mrs. Simon
Bamberger, members of their staff,
President Widtsoe and many of the
professors in the institution.
The performance was followed
with rare interest from beginning to
end, and the undoubted vote was,
that the two players on whom the
principal weight fell. stepped close
to professional lines. These were

and Miss Helen Spencer. Mr.. Oh

Marriage and the High
Cost of Living.

Vital statistics are usually regard
ed as following quite nearly certain
| fixed ratios. or recent years, though
there has been the suggestions from
many quarters that high prices we're
affecting the marriage rate. One of
the most notable instances comes
from San Francisco, where the num-
Der Of knots tied in 1916 was but
500, as against 6S79 for 1915.
The authorities attribute the falling
off to high living costs.
1t suggests that the love in cot
tage motive is growing less powerful.
Certainly our forefathers considered
but little any such matter. They did
not have to meet high prices, but
they confronted conditions far more
burdensome. One never hears that
the men who settled the Far West
and the plain states ever hesitated
about marriage.
On the eve of their adventurous
departure into pioneer life, they took
unto themselves wives. No matter
how toilsome and difficult the condi-
tons, they raised large families.
Their children labored to subdue the
forest and plant the soil, and great
prosperous states are the result of
their confidence and courage.
If our ancestors found the prices
of the necessaries of life going up,
they went without, or they raised
supplies in their own back yards. 1t
never occurred to them to deny them
selves marriage or postpone it.
The young people of today feel
keenly the social demands of their
times. 1t is not merely question
of earning a living. They want com
Portable houses with modern plumb
ing and artistic furniture. They
desire to belong to the clubs and to
own automobiles and travel around
the country. So they postpone mar
rlage until they have some positive
assurance of the future. 1t promot-
es finished and pleasurable living
but it does not produce rugged
type of citizenship nor a generation
of working children.

The Automobile
Pioneers.

There was an interesting event at
the National Automobile Show at
New York a few days ago, when 400
motor manufacturers and designers
were present. Never before, the dis
patch says have so many of the
pioneers makers of automobiles got
together. The occasion was a tre-
mendous contrast from the days
when these originators of the auto
mobile were first trying to market
their product.
The automobile business Is now
one of untold wealth and vast pos
sihillties. Great fortunes and great
corporate industries have been built
up. Fifteen years ago, many pres
ont day millionaires were unknown
men, struggling with great mechani-
cal difficulties and pressing financial
problems. any of them succumbed
to the situation and went into bank
ruptcy or broke down physically.
They had in their heads the germ
OF a great idea. But 1t was trem-
endously expensive to work 1t out.
In many little dirty workshop
these pioneers were wrestling with
refractory motors, trying to make
the blamed thing work. For every
difficulty removed some fresh prob
lem took its place.
The new automobiles went chug-
ging around the country, soaring the
horses. while farmers families rush
ed to the door to see the new wond-

The Farm
Institutes.

One of the features of country life
nowadays is attending the farmers
institutes. AT many a cross roads
school house one finds yard full of
teams and motors, while gray beard
ed farmers on the benches inside
are listening while some smooth
faced youth half their age gives the
result of scientific experiment.
Agriculture is the profession of the
future, and it attracts young men.
The farm institute speaker of today
often seems ridiculously young while
he instructs men old enough to be
his father. But commonly he is not
merely a school professor, but an eX-
perimenter who has personally done
the things he advises his hearers to
do.
Unless he has had this actual field
experience, it is not much use to
send him out The farmers will de-
tect the dust Of the class room. and
the whole idea of scientific farming
will be discredited.
Farming IS not laboratory af-
fair in which certain chemicals can
be depended on to do certain things
at certain times. The ploughed field
is vast workroom, where the
whims of soil and sun and moisture
and seed are infinite and alike in no
two places. No text book will fit
every place alike.
The school farmer must always
allow a certain amount of weight to
the local opinion and experience.
lie should return the wiser from ev-
cry excursion into the rural districts,
feeling that he has learned some
thing from the farmers as well as
they from him.
In the main the farm institute
ideas are good gospel for the man
with the hoe. Into an afternoons
talk is concentrated the results OF
experience and experiment for years.
A professional or business man who
was getting so much in so short a
time would preserve the results in
his note book The farmer might
well do likewise.

RAILROADS WANT
TO RAISE RATES

EMIT CONDITIONS THREATEN
THEIR PROFITS.
WILL HOLD PUBLIC HEARING
Wages and Other Expenses Increase
Faster Than lncome-So They
Say in Their Complaint
Too Bad.

Washington Eastern railroads,
their executives assert, are rapidly
approaching the point where they can
no longer operate with profit, indi-
Gated Monday the form their efforts
will assume in letter to the inter-
state commerce commission asking
for a conference to consider rates
not included in the advance allowed
in the decision in the Is per cent rate
advance case last June.
Indications are that the railroads
have in mind filing applications for
increased rates on large number of
commodities not already raised, If it
should develop at the conference that
the applications might meet with any
measure of success.
The commission, replying to the re-
quest for "a short informal confer
ence," notified the roads that it would
be glad to hear them at "a public
session" this week.
Talk Rates on Traffic.
Following is the text of the railroad
executives letter sent from New
York and made public by the COM
mission:
"The trunk line traffic executives,
after a discussion today, desired me
to try to arrange for short informal
conference with the commission next
Wednesday or Thursday "wednesday
preferred) to talk oevr the rates on
traffic not favorably acted upon in
the recent decision of the Is per cent
advance rate case, some of which are
now covered by suspended tariffs and
hearings arranged for, others covered
by tariffs which carries Cancelled at
the suggestion of the commission;
and possibly other matters germane
asked for.
"The thought arises from the car
riers' keen necessity as shown by the
results since the case was presented
and was encouraged by the language
of the commission in simplifying it's
order if the necessity became appar-
ent.
eff few of us could have the privi-
lege of such conference it is
thought thought it would be great
assistance at present in reaching a
prompt conclusion as to future ac-
ton"
Give All Hearing.
To this letter the commission re-
piled as follows:
| Pursuant to your request by letter,
the matters there referred to may be
presented to the commission at a
public session Notice is being given
accordingly"
The commissions decision to hold
a public session will give the shippers
and all others interested an opportu
nifty to be present and state their
views.
In denying the railroads petition
for general Is per cent raise in
rates the commission last June dis
missed the proceedings without pre-
JUDGE to their renewal at any time
the necessity for any advance in
rates could be shown. At the same
time the commission granted eastern
roads, hardest hit of all by the car
shortage and congestion of last win
ter, advances in class rates which
the railroads estimate approximate
per cent.
