WHEN COUNTY FAIRS
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL

County fairs will be successful
when farmers claim them and place
their marks and brands on them. This
will not necessarily eliminate good
wholesome sports and recreations but
will emphasize over them agricultural
education and the economic features.
There is no better place for the
farmer to study live stock, crops and
foods than at real good fair, by
making comparisons.
There is no place equal to a good
fair to advertise agricultural pro-
ducts, especially animals. And the
fair is unsurpassed in possibilities es-
pecially in the county, for wholesome
recreation.
The various committees of the Iron
county Fair need the support of each
farmer in the county, both as men,
bers of the organization and as in
dividuals, in making this years fair
a success.
Collect bundles of choice grain,
samples of corn, forage. roots and
vegetables and get them in the fair
in the form of an exhibit as your
brand.
And don't leave those good animals
home and later tell your reighbor how
easy your animals would have taken
prizes.

Fighting the White Plague.

Frank w. lie Clere, executive sec
retry of the Utah Public Health AS
ISOLATION, of Salt Lake City, organized
for the primary object of combating
the spread of tuberculosis in this
state, but incidentally working for the
control of all preventable disease, was
in Cedar City the fore part of this
week and made The Record brief
call. Mr.. lie Clere stated that the
work of his organization was making
progress, but that there was still much
to be done, and that the assistance
and cooperation of the entire people
of the state was imperative, if the
full purposes of the society are to be
accomplished.

IRON COUNTY DOES
HONOR TO SOLDIERS
Impressive and Feeling Farewell is
rendered to the Enlisted Men
Prior to Their Departure.

AS outlined in The Record last issue
feeling farewell was rendered to the
soldier boys of Iron county in this city
last Monday. The day was observed
practically as planned, except that the
afternoon sports were eliminated, as
hardly in keeping with the spirit and
solemnity of the occasion. and the
Enoch band was not included, due to
the failure of the committee to notify
them in time.
The business part of Main street
was decorated with flags and bunting
in honor of the occasion, and there
were a large number of visitors pres
ent from the other settlements of the
county, although not all of the re-
cruits were able to come in for the
ceremonies.
In the procession that took place at
2 p. m, the soldiers, minus uniforms,
were mounted on horseback, and were
preceded by the combined bands, and
followed by company of young la
dies bearing Red Cross badges, a par
ty of farmers bearing farm products
in their arms and banner which read
"These Will Win the War" Then came
a long line of automobiles.
The ceremonies in the tabernacle at
300 p. m. were very impressive, from
the rendition of the beautiful hymn,
"The Flag Without STAIN" by Mrs.
Annette Bettenson, and chorus, to
the beautiful sentiment read by Mrs.
M. j. Macfarlane on "Our Boys"
The speaking and music were very
appropriate, and everone went out of
the building with hearts mealowed and
a prayere on their lips for the brave
recruits.
Mr. Randall l.. Jones acted as mas
ter of ceremonies.
In tne meeting III was announced
that Corlett Simkins and Ether Perry
of Cedar City had volunteered to fill
the first contingent of 5& required to
leave for the training camp on the 7th.
This relieved the Exemption Board of
the unpleasant duty Of making a Sc
lection from among the men.
At 1880 p. m. there was beautiful
band concert from the steps of the
public library, the street and sur
rounding open space being crowded by
auditors, on foot and in automobiles.
The grand ball in the evening was .
largely attended. The music was de-
lightful and an excellent time was en-
joyed by all those present.

BUT is 1T TRUE?

One point which, if true, is valid,
has been urged against the adoption
of national prohibition at this time.
"a united public opinion said SEN
ator Lodge, "is the greatest factor in
winning the war. Abolish all the
breweries, and you will engender dis
satisfaction and resentment If that
were true, the country might lose
more than it would gain by prohibi-
ton. But is it true? Russia was far
more welded to it's vodka than Amer
lea to it's beer, yet war prohibition in
Russia was phychologically profitable
as well as physically strengthening.
When American communities are in
disorder with popular discomfort
threatening violence, what do they do ?
They close the saloons. Evidently
that is found to do just the oppisite
of increasing popular discomfort. But
the best denial of Senator Lodges
point is found in the state of Nebras-
ka. Nebraska's saloons closed their
doors a month after war was declared.
Let the senator come to Nebraska and
see whether the loss Of their liquor
and Nebraska was full Of people who
had their habits to change-causes

Waterton's Climb.

The steepleiack's ability to keep his
head and feet while working on a
top" which is a, ledge three feet wide
between abysses 500 feet deep is a
gift: Like the poet, the steeplejack is
BORN not made. Charles Waterton,
the naturalist, .hid the gift and would
have adorned the professton-the only
one into which men do not drift.
When on visit to Rome, Waterton
determined to rival the feats Of the
Italian climbers who yearly scaled the
dome Of St. Peters and the pinnacles
Of the castle Of st. Angelo, to illumi-
nate their SUBMITS on the feast of st.
Peter. Eighty men used to climb the
dome On two successive nights, and
the boldest completed the spectacle by
browning the cross with waving
torch of fire. Each nights show was
said, on the average, to cost a mans
life. Waterton scaled the dome by
daylight and left his glove upon the
vane.-Ios Angeles Times.

THAT WASHINGTON LEAK"

The so-called leak in Washington is
attracting more attention than any
thing else during the last few days.
a rumor became prevalent, soon at
ter President Wilson issued his peace
note, that information that the note
Vas ta -h BE- ISSUED lesksa. aYt 81 Jew
days before the publication of the
note, and the fact was seized upon by
spectators to profit by this informa'
L ton. The report, when It was finally
made by the president, was of such a
sensational character that the markets
were greatly disturbed and fortunes
were made and lost within few
hours.
8 The charge is made that many demo
Gratis close to the president had
knowledge of what the president was
about to do and took advantage OF
this infrmation and speculated on the
market.

Nothing has created such sensa
ton at the capital for many years as
the investigation that is now GOING
on. We do not pretend to know what
the facts are or what may be disclosed
but there is a feeling that most
{. thorough investigation should be had
/. in order to sift out the guilty parties
if any there are, in order that the
people may know just what Is going

He Made Il "We.v

It was the night OF l4incoin's first
election, and the little frame home
Of the Lincolns in Springfield, ILL.,, was
filed with friends and Srelatives, all
eager for some news Of the election
results. The reports for awhile had
been coming in early and favorable,
but. after awhile they began to be less
promising. Mrs. Lincoln had been by
her husbands side all day. He now
insisted that she retire. The crowd
gradually began to dwindle. Then
came the news that New York had
been carried, followed Immediately by
the report that Lincoln had carried
the country. The rest of the story
would be better told by the great man
himself.
when there was no longer any
doubt or reason for Doubt" he related
afterward, 81 went up to my bedroom

Slang at Anna polls.

For certain slang expressions used by
cadets I am indebted to member Of
the corps. From this future admiral l
learn that a "bird" or "wasse2> a
man or boy; that q pap sheet" is a re-
port covering delinquencies and that to
hit the pap is to be reported for de-
linquency that steam is marine en-
cheering and to be obliged for juice"
is to fail in examinations in electrical
engineering; to get an 'tunsat" or un-
satisfactory mark, or even a Zip" or
"swabo," which is a zero.
Cadets do not escort girls to dances,
but drag" them; a girl is a drag"
and a 'heaFy drag" or brick" Is an I'M
attractive girl who must be taken to a
dance. A "sleuth" or "jfmmylegs", is q
night Waterman, and to be ragged" is
to be caught. Mess hall Writers are
sometimes called "mokes," while at
other times the names Of certain exalt-
ed dignitaries> Of the navy department
or Of the academy are applied to them.

Cultivate Persistence

If st. Paul had lived q couple of
thousand years later he would have
been captain Of industry" This is
the remark attributed to John D. Rock
efeller after hearing sermon in Cleve-
land in which st. Paul was held up as
a model of power and forcefulness.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that Paul's virtue
was that he was persistent and that
persistent men got to the top; that nat
ural leaders are rare and reap rich re.
wards in business and Industrial life,
for every line Of commercial effort Of.
fers them big opportunities. These are
simple, plain, truthful words from the
mouth of the most successful captain
Of industry the world has known. Per-
sistence. patience and assiduity have
as great rewards today for the young
man who possesses these virtues as
they had fifty years ago, when Mr..
Rockefeller was working sixteen hours

The latest dispatches announce the
death of Admiral Geo. w. Dewey at
