ffXVIHEN war comes to nation the first essen
w tial is money. We must keep our soldiers
and sailors armed and equipped with the best that
money can buy and American skill devise We
must constantly provide them with necessary
clothing and food; we must pay their wages; we
must as humane and just nation, support their
dependent families while they are riskng and
giving their very lives for u.s. we must supply
them with reasonable amount of life insurance
1.-THE first duty of the nation to its gallant sons
who go forth to die upon the field of battle to pro-
tect your lives, your property, and your honor is
that it shall restitute to them what it destroys
when it drafts them into the service of their coun
try or when they volunteer to go into the service
of their country.
when the Government reaches out its hand
and takes the young man who is earning $1,000,
81 500, $2,400, $4,000 year. more or less, it not
only says, You must put your life in the balance
and give it, if need be-, but it conscrps that mans
income and earning power down to 1896 year, be-
cause that is all it pays to a soldier.
1.-THE nation also destroys the insurabty of
that man. He finds instantly that no matter how
healthy his sinews, nor how strong his heart, no
matter how good a risk he would be in peace time,
he can get no insurance With his earning power
reduced he is at the same time unable to make any
sort of insurance provision for those dependent
upon him.
as it asking too much of the generous, just and
humane people of America to restitute also the in
suitability Of that soldier, to give him the oppOr
tunity of buying insurance from his Government
at reasonable rate, so that he may make the last
loving provision that every man should make for
his family if he has to face death?'

MORAL LIFE IN
ARMY IS URGED
Secretary Baker Declares for
Social Protection of Sol
diers Near Camps.

Boston, Oct 25.-Unless a network
of protection is spread abroad around
the soldiers in communities adjoining
the war camps the whole moral lifo
Of this nation will be lowered and
there will be wide extension of So
cial diseases, said Secretary Baker Of
the war department in an address at
the City club yesterday.
eve cannot afford any such ire
mendous and calamatous national
waste and extravaganza as to take 2
million young men out of their homes
in this country and corrupt them,
and then, when the war is over, send
them back home less fine than they
were when they came to u.s." said
Secretary. Baker. every now and
then we hear-I don't know anything
about the truth of it-that our adver-
sary in this war has been sending
germs around to inoculate the people
with disease and using that as q
means of warfare.
"Our soldiers when they get away
from camps become boys away from
home, and the question Of what be
comes of them is one of the most ire
mendous problems we have in every
point of view. 1t is tremendous from
moral point of view. If he is sick
in mind or morally sick he affects
prejudicially the whole atmosphere OF
the military contingents of which he
is member.
"The only kind of an army that is III
to represent the United States wher
our country is starting out on an en-
terprise characterized by the lofty ant
idealistic motives, must be made ur
Of young men of choice quality Of
body, mind and spirit, so that the
thing is highly important from mill
tary point of view"

FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1917.
CEDAR CITY'S MAIN STREET

TT is often the case, nay, we might say, usually
the case that the extent of tourists observa-
tions of town he passes through from one
point to another, is confined to the Main street
His opinion Of that city or town is largely, if not
entirely, based upon what he observes on this
principal thoroughfare he passes through 1t
is of much Importance then, to the reputation and
good name of the town, well as in creating fav-
orable Impressions which may lead to investments
that the Main street be well kept, made attractive
and inviting.
Cedar City is Justly proud of its fine business
blocks, its handsome free library, and other pub
lie buildings. 1t has some of as fine residences as
are to be found in any part of the state outside,
possibly of some of the very largest centers of
population; but when it comes to our Main street,
excuse us from the responsibility of answering,
as it is our desire to boost rather than to knock.
You at home, and many other people of the state
know too well what the condition is.
To be sure we are paving the remainder of the
sidewalks now and are getting ready TO put in
guttering in the business district but with all the
excellent shale and other surfacing material at
hand, it is shame and disgrace that our Main
street should have remained in its present con-
dition all summer
Several times during the past two years the
citizens through various organizations have made
the request, yes even the demand that the tele-
phone and electric light poles be moved from the
center OF the street IN order That the street might
be graded nicely and surfaced But always some
thing has come up to furnish an excuse for allow
in the poles to remain, and today they are still
there. There has been talk of the advantage of
obtaining right of way through the center Of the
blocks and of having all the telephone and power
lines removed thither, but for it all appears to
be talk. Some of the citizens we are informed
have taken very decided stand against this move
and are saying that IF they go through my lot
they will pay well for the privilege" Now, the
question is who are they? Are not "they" each
and every of us who go to make up the COM
munty, and is it not folly to talk of making our
selves pay dearly for privilege which will con-
fer benefit upon every property owner and the
community at large?
We should look at this matter in reasonable
rational manner and when we have decided what
will be the best for all parties concerned, each one
fall in and do his part.
To us it appears that it would be far better to
get rid of the wires and poles from Main street
tirely and string them through the center of the
blocks But whatever it is that is standing in
the way of the construction of a decent street
through the center of town, should be disposed OF
at the earliest possible moment. And the way tC
accomplish this is for all to pull together and dc
away with chickering's and petty selfishness.

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS

@ ECRETARY of the Treasury McAdoo has an
~ nounced that there will be issued by the Treas
ury Department in the near future circular set
ting forth the manner in which Liberty Loan
bonds of the first issue may be converted into Lib
erty Loan bonds of the second issue
The conversion requires the adjustment of in
terest and the Treasury Department has devised
method whereby this, in large measure, may
be made without the actual payment of any cash
by the holder of the bond to the Government or
vice versa.
1t is we'll to remember that the date of the sec
ond issue of Liberty Loan bonds is November Is
and that no conversions can be accomplished prior
to that date Opportunity however, will be given
to holders of the first Liberty Loan bonds to de-
post their bonds for conversion in advance of the
actual date of issue of the second issue.

EAT, BUT DO NOT
WASTE POTATOES
How to Prepare Potatoes Without any
Waste is Told by COnserva-
ton Experts.

Eat more potatoes and save wheat,
does not mean to waste potatoes.
Many housewives who would be in
dignant if accused of wasting pota-
toes are actually throwing away daily
much of the valuable material and
protein content of the potato because
they pare the potato too deep. Some
very valuable suggestions on the prep
aration Of potatoes for the table in
order to avoid waste have been pre-
pared by the Extension Division of the
Utah Agricultural College. These are
in part as follows:
"If potatoes are to be pared but a
very thin layer should be removed,
as much of the mineral and protein
content is directly beneath the skin
and is lost in deep pairing. Potatoes
are best boiled with their jackets on,
steamed, or baked. Prepared thus
there is no nourishment lost and the
flavor is best. When potatoes are to
be baked, the skins may be eaten, as
they are rich in mineral Baked po-
tatoes are the most easily digested
because the starch has undergone a
stage of digestion in the baking.
potatoes should take even a more
/ important place in the diet than they
ever have as they are an excellent
substitute for wheat flour when used
with other nourishing foods as dairy
products. They are cheap and easily
/ digested"
Baked potatoes are best when cook
ed as follows:
wash skins with vegetable brush
/ Use smooth skinned, medium, uniform
size potatoes. Bake in a moderate
oven. If cooked very slowly they are
soggy; if cooked in a hot oven, thick
layer is formed over the potato. The
contents may be removed and mixed
with cubed meat, sauces, hard cooked
eggs, cheese, fish, etc, then replaced
and heated or just eaten with sauces
or fat, as dripping, butter, etc.
Conservation Hints from u. A. c.
Eat more fish and release meat fol-
export.
Buttermilk is an excellent beverage
1t has high nutritive value also. Form
the buttermilk habit.
Don't throw away skim milk just
because there's just drop left. Use
it more freely in gravies in place OF
water, or to cook your vegetables in
Cottage cheese makes a fine mea'
substitute. Save your skim-mi'k fol-
cottage cheese.
Answer this question honestly fol
yourself, "Do overeat?" L. YOU
don't you are an exception for al
American.

CHRISTMAS MAIL
FOR FORCES ABROAD
The Following Orders Were Issued
From the Office of the Postmas-
ter General, Albert s .Burleson.
To the Public:

To the Public:
The time is approaching to give
thought to bringing Christmas cheer
to the American soldiers and sailors
abroad.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American Expeditionary Forces in
Europe is to be delivered Christmas
morning. Without the fullest coop
Grafton on tn part of the public it will
be impossible to accomplish this re-
suit.
The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assuring
a happy Christmas at the front are:
Mail early, address intelligently, and
pack securely. For this reason it is
urgently requested that all persons
having Christmas mail FOR the sol
diers and sailors and the civilian un-
its attached to the army IN Europe
observe closely the following direc-
tons:
1. Mails to reach the soldiers in
France by Christmas morning must
be posted not later than November
18TH
2. Every package must bear con-
spicuously the words christmas
Mall" the complete address of the
person for whom it is intended, and
in the upper left-hand corner, the
name and address of the sender.
3. Every parcel must be packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy in
spection by the postmaster. No par
eel will be dispatched to France which
has not the postmaster's certificate
that it contains no prohibited articles

Next Tuesday, November 6, will be election
day, when each qualified elector residing in Cedar
City will have the privilege and will be expected
to make his or her own way to the polls and cast
their ballot for the nominees of their choice Con-
trary to custom, there will be no automobiles or
other conveyances to haul voters to the polls, as
this was legisated against by the last Utah Leg
islature In another part of this issue will be
found the official list of nominees, and it would be
well for you to make yourself familiar with them
before going to the polls. The casting of the ballot
is sacred privilege which should be appreciated
by every true American citizen, and it should not
be necessary to urge people to go to the polls to
vote. Let's make the vote heavy one this year.

SELLING TOBACCO TO MINORS

IT HE act of selling, giving in any way sup
plying tobacco, in any form, to minors within
the State of Utah, constitutes misdemeanor and
misdemeanor is punishable by fine of 5000 and
by imprisonment for six months. The burden of
ascertaining who are minors, under II years
of age, is entirely with the person selling the to-
bacco. The fact that boy lies and claims to be
II who is not, does not relieve the merchant of
responsibility If the boy is proven to be minor,
the merchant is guilty of misdemeanor and can
be given the full penalty of the law, if the court
so decides.
Now, it is definitely known that minors are

WE HAVE MUZZLED
THE WATCHDOG

Even at the risk of offending the
sensibilities of our distinguished Post
master General we must take issue
with him on the moral right of his
position in relation to the public press.
AS set, forth, his published announce
ment of what newspapers may pub
lish and what they may not publish is
amazing to degree. We cannot in
justice say he has arrogated to him
self this right-greater than that of
any Prussianized monarch on earth
because the power was bestowed upon
him by the Congress. But we can
and do say that when the Congress
reconvenes in December, in the light
of Mr.. Burleson's statement, an i'm
mediate end should be made of this
intolerable condition of affairs.
Papers" says Mr.. Burleson, may
not say the government is controlled
by Wall Street or munition manufac-
turers or other special interests" II
they do they may be suppressed. Is
this to be so in 1921 as it is in 1917 ?
The law enacted presumably is here
to stay. The government, elected
possibly is not. The people might de-
eide to make a change. 1t is against
all precedent to assume that the Dem
ocratic party will be perpetually en-
thronged. What if the people should
elect a new administration and in the
change should bring to office a gov
eminent that was controlled by Wal
Street, the munition makers or some
special interests; what if these facts
were palpable, and awaited only the
light of publicity to bring about cor
rection or perhaps impeachment
must the press then remain silent al
the threatening finger of Postmaster
General, an ce-holder whose salary
is paid by the people he would have
the power to defy?
What if secret pro-German sym
patty should be found in the mentality
of a new Postmaster General, are the
newspapers to be throttled and com
PEELED to obey such rules of may anC
may not as he may lay down? Sup
pose a new Postmaster General shall
take a different viewpoint of what il
best for the country or of what HI
pretends would be best for the coun
try and state, 1--WE will not tolerate
campaigns for CONSUMPTION enlistment
or anything urging further prosecu
ton of the war" Must that become
the last word of authority in our lib
, erty loving land? Certainly the Con
gress has set a strange precedent, an'
just as clearly is Mr.. Burleson walk
ing on the grass. Mu2zling a watch
dog is a dangerous practice.-Ameri

WHEAT FOR
OUR ALLIES
Extensions Division of Utah Agricul-
tural College Makes Suggestions
for Conserving Bread.

1t is pretty generally conceded that
the result of the war will largely be
determined by bread. The group OF
nations whose food supply remains
ample after the supply of the other
group is exhausted will probably be
victosious in the struggle. This means (
that we must di all we can to assist
our allies by supplying food as well
as by furnishing fighting men and
ammunition.
Since the beginning of the war the
need for American grown wheat in
Europe has stadily increased and will
continue to increase during the period
of the conflict. At first we were cast
~ able to supply the demand from
our ample store, but as the demand
increased, our reserve has gradually
decreased until at present our allies
need more wheat than can be supplied
from our surplus. This means one OF
two things: Either our production
must be increased, there will be a
shortage; and shortage of bread will
endanger the chances Of success Of
the United States and her allies in
the greatest war of all time.
If we were engaged in an ordinary
conflict to settle minor point of ter
ritorial boundary or national infringe
ment, success would not be so import
ant; but we have assumed the role OF
defender of the liberties of mankind
and have decided to give our all, il
need be, to insure the peoples of the
world the justice and representation
| in government for which our fore
fathers fought and bled when our ma
ton was founded. Thus, we are fight
ing for the greatest prize the world
can offer, and we can well afford to
make every human effort to succeed.
If success depends on increasing our
wheat production, then, in the name
of goodness, let us increase our wheat
even though it means sacrifice in 9th
er ways.
The compensation offered by the
law of supply and demand is such
that no sacrifice will be necessary in
increasing the production of wheat,
for the price the farmer will receive
for his crop will be ample reward for
every effort he puts forth. Never N
the history of the nation has there
been such an opportunity to make
money raising wheat. Even in the
Days when practically all work had
to be done by hand the price was net
so high as it is at present.
We do not advocate abandoning al
other crops; on the contrary the ordS-
nary balance in running the farm
should be maintained. Hay, potatoes,
sugar beets, and vegetables must COZ
tinue to be raised in large quantities.
The increase in wheat should come
from better methods of handling tho
crop on old land and from adding ~
the cultivated area land that has pre-
viously has not been producing.
Much of this producing land
could not be made to pay when wheat
was sixty cents bushel, but with
the price raised to two dollars, there
will be handsome margin Of profit
Let every patriotic citizen lend in
fiuence to help out the campaign Of
the government to increase during
1918 the wheat supply of the coun-
try; not that we are afraid Of star
walton, but by supplying our allies
with bread we help to insure theis
success and ours.
