The first sailing to Nome of the Victoria, which will serve that route, will be from Seattle June 2.
 The excursion season will open with the sailing of the Dolphin June Is and close with the sailing of the same steamer August 19.

HAND COLORED FEATURE.

At the Dream Friday and Satur- day will be shown "The Royal Im- postor", costume play in five heart gripping acts, production that surpasses in gorgeous colouring any thing previously attempted in fine arts. The particular novelty of this picture is supplied by the polished interpretation of an all star Euro pean cast. It has none of the faults which are usually found in foreign productions as the parts are invariably acted with modera- tion and the directors have never allowed the spectacular of the film to carry them away from the brill- iant love story which gives it a soul stirring basis. A De Lux en- tertainment. Two nights only.

Never before has Nome been so bare of all mail news. Practically Nome might as well be cut off from all intercourse with the outside world as far as knowing on what boat will the mail arrive.
 The intention of the Post Office Department to cut out the station ing of Railway Mail Clerk in Nome which as has already been an- nounced, will be done this summer, may have some bearing on this, but it is awkward that the people do not know whether or not there is any mail upon the Bear or not.

The mines have ben paying $500 and board right along for eight hours and Joe thought that four dollars was enough on the road and the men thought different, thus de- laying the work. Why the wages should be attempted to be cut by the road commission is not clear. Gus Nordgren, Scotty Murray, Jack Sloane, Otto Miller and Ed Jensen were then at Willow creek (April

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 23.- Opposition to the food control bill was based upon the food control bill argument during the course of the debate yesterday.
 This was that the policy of the government would result in panicky conditions.
 It was pointed out that Howard Coffin some time ago had warned against a policy of reckless econo- my" and urged that normal condi- tions should be upheld, especially in the living conditions and in the car

 Coffin said that there was danger of manufacturers and others being frightened into closing down, that public works might be suspended and that much money withdrawn from circulation if "business was not maintained as usual" Coffin who was quoted is himself a mem- Der of the advisory board.

OUR BOYS REMEMBERED.

The Nogales chapter of the American Red Cross completed 100 comfort kits yesterday for the boys in training camps, from Santa Cruz county, says Thurs days Herald. This is the sec ond lot of kits which the chap ter has completed, the other kits having been sent to headquart- CTS a short time ago for dist button in France. These kits each contained fifteen articles which will no doubt be very use- full to the boys. Tue kits were made up of needle case. shoe strings, trench mirror, foot pow der, writing tablet, envelopes, tobacco, cigarette papers. thread, [, pen points, pencil, handkerchief, bachelor buttons, a wash rag and soap. The articles were neatly wrapped in brown bag and paper. They will be sent away in short time so that there will be no chance of them not being delivered Christmas morning. About sixteen mem bers were present at the Red Cross meeting on Monday and the highest commendation is due them for the work they, ac- complished..

largest number Of seals in proportion
to its population, 2.6S seals per cap
tia, and won the pennant for that
class Utah was eleventh, with OBS
seals per capita. However, the year
before we were thirteenth in the list,
with only 0.42 per capita to our credit.
This year we should sell at least three
seals per inhabitant and beat our
neighbours splendid record.
Cities and towns are divided into ten
classes, according to population. Class
OD includes all towns with a popu-
lation under six hundred, and class
(i0) includes cities with population
of over one million. Last year Thorn
burg, Pennsylvania, won the pennant
in class (D with more than thirty
seals per inhabitant Hershey, Penn
sylvania, won the pennant for class
(2) with a sale of more than seventy
eight seals per inhabitant. In addi-
ton, the National Association will
give this year a certificate of common
dalton to every community selling six
seals or more per capita. Thus, every
city and town in Utah has a chance to
win national prominence by it's gener-
osity and public spirit. Get busy and
sell the seals and win pennant for
Utah and for your city.

ROUNDUP PROGRAMS
COVER VITAL SUBJECTS
Farmers and Housewives of Utah
Offered Opportunities to Prepare
for Patriotic Service.

Interpreting the national food prob
lens brought about by the present
war in terms Of western conditions,
the Farmers roundup and Housekeep-
ers conferences to be conducted in
Utah this year by the Extention
Division of the Utah Agricultural
College will offer a magnificent oppor-
tunity for the citizen of the West to
prepare for patriotic service. Not only
will the definite problems for attend
ing the call for greater production
and conservation be presented, but
practical solution Of these problems
will be offered.
Although the programs have not
yet received their final form, part or
all of the following subjects will be
handled in intensive one-week cours-
es: for men, farm tractors, animal
diseases, hog production, insect con-
troll, plant disease control, feeding of
live stock, range management, con-
struction of farm buildings, cement on
the farm, labor efficiency on the farm,

THREE ROUND-UPS ARE
BEING PLANNED FOR
Richfield, Logan. and Cedar city to
be Favored With Conventions
This Winter.

Three big Farmers round-ups and
Housekeepers conferences will be
held in Utah this winter, according to
plans just perfected by the Extention
Division of the Utah Agricultural Coll
ege. Richfield will be the center of
the first convention which will run
from January II to 10. The College at
Logan will be headquarters for the
second gathering, which will run from
January Il to &c, while the third will
be held at Cedar City, from February
A to 8. The solution of agricultural
war problems will occupy the chief at
tention of the men and women of all
three conventions. While the pro-
grams have not yet received their
final form, it is safe to assert that
greater production and conservation
will serve as the central idea of much
of the work offered. The organization
of farm work in such a way as to
make farm labor more efficient will
be emphasized as well as the use of
power machinery on the farm. These
problems are of the supreme import
ance, because this country must pro-
duce more in 1918 than in 1917 and
with greatly reduced labor supply.
Many special courses Of one weeks
duration will be offered. Various
authorities of national and inter-
national fame will address the con-
vention on subjects of vital present
day interest.
