UNCLE SAM WILL EXHIBIT
AT UTAH STATE FAIR

The most unique and Mt the same
time the most comprehensive state
fair ever held in Utah will open its
gates in Salt Lake City on Septem-
Der Goth and continue until October
9Th.
The uniqueness of this years ex-
position arises largely from the fact
that the federal government at Wash
ington will be one of the chief con-
tributors.
The government exhibit will con-
sist of all kinds of war material
bombs, grenades, torpedoes, war;
planes, aeroplanes, submarines and
warship models and all types of guns.
A large area on the fair grounds will
be devoted to the construction of war
trenches and barbed-wire entangle-
ments.
There will also be a Red Cross ex-
hibit of substantial promotions in
GLIDING practically every known de-
vice for the alienation of suffering
on the battle field. Besides this, the
American Association of Fairs and
Expositions is endeavoring to secure
for the Speaking program the COOP
Grafton of persons of national distinc-
ton, Herbert C. Hoover. Ex-presi-
dent Roosevelt, Ex-president Taft,
Premier Borden of Canada,
Archbishop Ireland, Senator Hiram
johnson, Congressman Julius Kahn
and others are being invited to parti-
cipate in fair programs throughout
the United States. 1t is not definitely
determined which speaker will be as
signed to the Utah State Fair.
Besides these persons of national
prominence, there will be a number of
government experts who will assist in
explaining the federal exhibit.
From assurances which come to
the State Fair Office from nearly ev-
cry county, the agricultural and stock
exhibit for this year will surpass any,
thing heretofore collected in Utah for
exhibition. The Food Training Camp
idea has struck home. Although one
million men have been called to the
front, every loyal Utahn seems to re-
alize that it is the ninety nine million
back of the lines that must help the
one million to win the fight.
That the department of Food Ad-
ministration at Washington appreci-
ates the function of the various state
fairs in the country, is evident from
Mr. Hoover's message: at is the SOL
emn duty of everyone to study food
efficiency at your great State Fairs"
In addition to the above mentioned
exhibits, there will be an elaborate
speed program with substantial purs-
es for each event; not to mention a
large number of entertainment fea-
lures designed to rest the visitor as
they view the various displays.
Excursions will be run from the
various parts of the state, and sur
rounding states.

RAPID PROGRESS ON
REVISION OF REVENUE BILL

Misunderstanding rapid prog
ress in revising the House wal tax bill,
the Senate Finance Committee decid-
ed to exempt from taxation many
articles, to substitute stamp taxes for
the manufacturers gross sales plan of
the House, and to consider new taxes
upon se~cond-cIass mail matter. The
latter were advocated by Senator
Hardwick and Postoffice Department
heads, and would be based upon the
advertising space in publications.
1t was agreed that there should be
no direct taxation on jewelry, motion
picture film, chewing gum and pianos
and s~elf-played musical instruments.
For the House gross manufacturers
sales tax of five per cent, the commit
tee determined to ubstitute stamp
taxes on mechanical musical instru-
ments, including talking machine rec
ords, athletic goods, perfumes, cos
metics and patent medicines. For the
House five per cent tax on yachts and
other pleasure boats, a new tax based
upon tonnage or length was consider.
A new tax upon confectionery was pro
proposed by Senator Williams.

HOUSE PASSES FIRST OF
FOOD CONTROL BILLS.
Provides For Survey of Food Supply,
Appropriates $14,770,O0O.

HFPi i6tCS YiTJffSySSos
Washington.-The Administrations
food survey bill, first of the food con-
troll measures, was passed by the
House without a record vote. 1t ap-
propriates $14, ITO, 900 for an immediate
investigation of the country's food re-
sources and for measures to stimulate
production. A similar bill is under de-
bate in the Senate.
The Agriculture Department expects
to present a fairly accurate estimate
of food u within three weeks
after the bill is signed by the Presi-
dent, Secretary Houston said. AS
soon as the measure becomes a law.
the Department will start it's 10000
employees and the $50, 900 voluntary
crop reporters to work on the inves.i-
cation. The preliminary report to be
made within the three weeks will be
supplemented with monthly reports
and probably by a further complete
report within six months if necessary.
Material gathered will be turned
over to Herbert c. Hoover, who was
named as head OF the food admins
tration, as soon as the pending regu-
latory food measures becomes law.
In the survey bill, passed virtually
as it came from the committee, Miss
Rankin, the oma representative
from Montana, inserted an amend
ment which would require the Depart
ment Of Agriculture to use women in
the survey work whenever practical
BILE. An amendment by Representa-
tive Mckenzie of Illinois would make
all persons employed under the bill
liable to military service, and another
would permit citizens to refuse to go
more than 300 miles from their homes
or places Of business to testify in G
food inquiry.

OVER THOUSAND ARE INJURED
Property Damage Amounts to Millions
in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Ken

Chicago.-More than one hundred
more injured, and millions of dollars
worth of property destroyed by lorna
does which swept through Kansas on
Friday, Illinois and Indiana on Satur-
day, and parts of Tennessee, Arkansas,
Kentucky and southern Illinois Sun
day. Reports indicate that a large
amount of farm implements, needed
to produce the bumper crop desired
this year, was ruined, although the
spasmodic wind struck only here and
there in it's frightful play through the
rural regions. Crop damage is said
to be not heavy in grains.
The heaviest toll of life was taken
at Mattoon, H., a city of 10000 pop
ulation in the broom corn country Of
Central %Illionis, where 81 are known

RUSSIA FACING
ECONOMIC RUIN
INDUSTRIAL CRISIS is so ACUTE
THAT ONLY MIRACLE CAN
SAVE COUNTRY.
MAY BRING VAR TO A CLOSE
Demands of Workmen So Enormous it
Seems Impossible to Keep Industrial
Wheels Turning.-Minister of FL
nance Speaks.

P~etrograd, via London.-The indus.
trail crisis in Russia is so acute that,
according to a recent utterance Of the
Minister of Finance, M. Shingarof,
only a miracle can ave the country
from economic ruin. The demands Of
the workmen were so enormous, he
declared, that it seemed impossible to
keep the industrial wheels going for
any great length of time.
The Socialist ministers at a recent
ministerial council said that the only
possibility they saw of settling the
difficulty was to bring the war to a
close.
Neither the coalition Cabinet nor
the newly appointed Commission to
regulate the difficulties between capt.
tai and labor has yet found a way to
settle the industrial crisis. The Com
mission is composed of the Ministers
Of Finance, trade and industry and
labor, but since there is a wide diver
gence of views between the Minister
of Finance and the new Socialistic
MlLlSCtI Ol LdDOi, II SS0mS pIOUdUlS
that this Commission will be confront,
ed with the same difficulties that at
tended previous efforts at reconcilia-
ton.
An investigation of the factory con-
ditions in Petrograd leads to the
alarming, but inevitable, conclusion
that unless the Government soon finds
a mean of adjusting the present diff
fculties, most of the industrial enter
prises working for National defense
will be compelled to close within a few
months. An investigation shows that
virtually the same difficulties prevail
in all the big factories in Petrograd
and apparently authenticated reports
from the Moscow, Donets and Ural dis
tricts indicate general disorganiZation.
In many of the factories, the demands
by the wworkmen for increased wages
are actually greater than the entire
profits Of the factories under the best
conditions Of production.
