RED CROSS
REDOUbL.ES
ITS EFFORTS
Enthusiastic Meeting of Pre-
cinct Leaders of Hammond
Chapter-President's Ap-
peal Gives Impetus to the
Campaign.
(BY R. :. GRoMANa

The Hammond chapter of the Amer
lean. Red Cross received yesterday a
lengthy telegram from the national
headquarters which included an appeal
from President Wilson. who is also
president of the American Red Cross.
The statement issued by the president
included the following:
Il have today created within the Red
Cross a war council to which viii be.
entrusted the duty of responding to the
extraordinary demands which the pres
ent war viii make upon the services of
the Red Cross both in the field and in
civilian relief. The best way in which
to impart the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work which this
war will entail will be TO concentrate
it in the hands of single experienced
organization which has been recognized
by law and by international convention
as the public instrumentality for such
purposes. Indeed such q concentration
of administrative action in this matter
seems to be absolutely necessary and 1,
hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute either great sums or
small to the alienation of the suffering
and distress which must inevitably
arise out VI tiiiS IL tpi humanity anu
democracy. to contribute to the Red
Cross. 1t will be one of the first and
most necessary tasks of the new war
council of the Red Cross to raise great
sums of money for the support of the
work to be done and done upon a great
scale. l hope that the response to their
efforts will be a demonstration of the
generosity of Americans and the power
of genuine practical sympathy among
our people that will command the ad-
miration of the whole world.
This appeal of the president puts
added emphasis on the membership
campaign which the local chapter has
instituted and emphasizes the duty of
every patriotic citizen in this connec-
tion.
Last evening a spirited meeting of
the precinct workers was held at the
Chamber of Commerce. Practically
every precinct Of the city was repre-
sented and the work is becoming thor
oughly organized. Each precinct cap
tain is selecting a staff of energetic
workers to aid him in the complete
canvas OF the city. The first work of
the campaign will be the Distribution
Of literature which will tell the aim
and purpose of the Red Cross. This
campaign will culminate on Saturday.
May 10, in a house to house canvas for
new members. and it is hoped that
fully 5000 to 5000 members viii be
gained for the Red Cross.
\ further meeting Of all The pre-
cinct workers win he held at the
Chamber of Commerce next Friday
evening to complete the final arrange
ments.
Beginning today at noon the cam
paign headquarters of the Red Cross
will be at the Chamber of Commerce
and the secretary of the local chapter
will be in constant attendance to give
instructions or information concerning
the work.

BIG INCREASE
OF EAST CHICAGO
POPULATION

The statement OF the school enumera-
tion of East Chicago completed on the
first of May gives figures from whlch
some idea may be gained of the con-
stant increase of population that Is tax
ing place in this city.
The total number of children or
school age as shown by these returns
is s149, which is an increase over last
year of $50. A close watch of census
returns on the total population as COM
pared with the school population has
demonstrated time and again that the
ratio of the school census to be gem
eral is very close TO III. At this rate.
the present population of the city Is
1861, an increase OF 2.925 in one short
year.
Last year the increase in the school
enumeration of this city was 7So. much
more than that of any other city in the
state.

JUDGE ATTACKS
CITY ORDINANCE

Judge Fred Barnett scored the Ham
nond city ordinance covering the elec-
trical wiring of buildings, today in city
court when he gave his decision in the
Harry Mansfleld-City case.
Mansfield was tried last Saturday for
putting up fixtures in a house already
wired without obtaining city electric
ian's permit. The court found him not
guilty. and of the ordinance said:
The ordinance is vicious. 1t would
that a person would have to take
out a $40 electricians permit TO attach
q fixture in his own home. or hire a
electrician and pay whatever price he
might demand"
Attorney Edward Schottler defended
Mansfield. who resides in Chicago. and
City Attorney J. a. Gsvit prosecuted.
The case will be appealed. it was an
nounced.

An Issue.
tBy United Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May u.
BY a vote of 80 to 38, the senate
in committee of whole, today
struck out of the Gregory espion-
age bill the section establishing a
censorship on the press.
Unless censorship provision is
made in the senate acting in regu-
lar session, the president will not
have the power to curtail criticism
of the war government as sought
by Attorney General Gregory.
Democrats Are
Against 1t.
Fifteen democrats lined up with
twenty-four republicans to defeat
the Objectionable provision which
caused a storm of criticism from
all over the country and on the
floor of both houses of congress.
Senator Martin, democratic floor
leader, was one of the democrats
who voted against the provision
which Gregory promulgated.

Presidents Powers

Disposition Of the censorship leaves
the president with no specific control
over the press. other sections Of the
espionage bill cover reasonable utter
ances and it was the contention Of
those opposed to the censorship that
those sections viii give the government
ample powers to protect itself.

OUR SCHOOL OF MUSIC.

ONE of the biggest things that has been given
to Southern Utah in long time, not except
ing the demonstration train nor the annual farm
ers' round-ups, is the Southern Utah School of
Music which will open in this city on the eleventh
of next month. 1t is in line with the big movement
throughout the country for the bringing of edu-
cation to the people, instead of the people having
to go to certain favored educational centers long
way off for their training 1t is by far the biggest
thing in a musical way ever attempted in the
southern counties, and if it should end with this
one year, by taking advantage of the opportunity
afforded the musical standing of this section will
receive great uplift
But if the people take hold of the opportunity
in the spirit that they should, it is not going to
end with this year, but will become an annual af-
fair, and may grow and extend into other lines.
1t is all up to the people.
AS mentioned by one of the speakers at the
tabernacle Sunday night, every ward choir leader,
every leader of choirs or singing classes in the
various auxiliary organizations of the church, ev-
cry teacher in the public schools, throughout the
southern counties of the state, should be enrolled
in this school of music. And going to go
this speaker zone better" and say that every
household in the southern country should have
one or more representatives in the school. In
short the people should crowd the enrolment lists
until it would be found necessary to requisition
for more teachers.
The impetus and enthusiasm that will be en-
gendered throughout the communities taking adj
vantage of this opportunity, by their students
coming in personal contact with and receiving first
hand instruction from these, some of the best mu-
sic teachers of the state is bound to have Won
derful influence, and will mean the planting of
seeds that will continue to multiply and bear fruits
of JOY and satisfaction to the people.
Spread the good news abroad and encourage
your friends and acquaintance to join you in the
enrolment for one or of the courses offered.

RECORD OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Small Amount Of Work Required to
Keep Books II Done Regularly
Profit or Loss Shown.

1t Is good thing to keep records of
all the farm operations. They may
seem trivial at the time, yet some day
are sure to be of great value and
are n great help and satisfaction in
clearing up difficulties that frequently
arise. II requires only small amount
of work to keep them II the work is
done regularly and Systematically. The
very fact that records are kept makes
one careful of details and interested
in making the things of which the
records are kept turn out the best. It
helps one to have firm grasp on his
affairs and to know just whore he
stands in all his work. He knows
whether he Is running his farm or any
branch OF his farming at a profit or
at loss.
In no branch of farming are records
of more Importance than in dairying.

GIVE US SERVICE.

ELECTRICITY has come to be a daily, and we
- might say an hourly, necessity in a majority
of the homes and business establishments of Cedar
City. In great many of the places of business
SUCH for instance, as The Record Office, we are
scarcely able to DO anything at all without it, 1t
is the motive power which propels our typeset-
ting machine, our job presses, our cylinder press,
folding machine, and is even employed in the bus
mess department in connection with cores
pondence and the preparation of our copy for the
paper, besides keeping cool through the medium
of the electric fan; in the garages it is employed
in pumping tires, vucanizing and turning various
machinery; in innumerable homes it heats the flat
irons turns the washing machines, electric fans,
cooks food, ETC.; it is employed in the hotel, the
ice cream factories, and elsewhere for power; it
planes, turns and saws lumber; runs iron lathes,
and various other machinery, all in addition to
lighting our homes, streets and places of business.
1t therefore can be easily seen that hardship is
worked on somebody every time the current is
off.
The local company has been struggling along
and doing the best they could under the circun-
stances and people have put up with the irregu-
larities in the service without saying much; but
as the business has grown and we have come to
depend more and more upon the electrical agency
in our daily affairs, and satisfied to pay good
money for same when it is furnished we feel that
we are entitled to dependable service. The COM
pany's dam and ditch not such as to guarantee
this in times of high spring water and summer
freshets. There should be good cement dam,
with spill way, sand and gravel trap, etc. so that
every freshet that comes down the creek would
not fill the entrance to the race and dam off the
water, leaving the town in darkness for from one
to two days.
1t would be economy and good business fore
sight to make such an improvement, for the tenn
porary repairs being done would easily pay
interest on the money reuired to make perma-
nent job of it, to say nothing of the money lost
to the company by reason of the interruption to
the service and the fact that many more uses
would be found for this form of energy ii it were
absolutely dependable.
We understand that outside capital stands
ready to take the plant over and place it in po-
sition to give dependable service, and while we
would much prefer to see it operated by local
company, have about reached point where
we MUST have dependable service and if the local
company is not financially able to give it to us.
then we believe that it would be in the interest of
the progress of the community for them to step
to one side and transfer the business to specialists
in this line of work just they have done at st.
George, Richfeld and number of the other small
cities of the state.

THE HOME TOWN
BY NELs DAZZLING

MANY argue that in time, practically all mer-
Az chandising will be done by mail from few
great cities. They contend that this is the eco
nomcal method Some socialists, who believe in
the three fundamental principals of Karl Marx
socialism take this view of the trend of the times.
The three fundamentals referred to are--rent is
wrong, interest is wrong, profit is wrong.
Well, in-as-much the large city department
stores and mail order houses are private enter
prises, are not owned by the people, not part
of a great commercial system in a cooperative
commonwealth, why not keep our rents and pro-
fits at home?
The habitual mail order house patron is too
often like the gambler--he is forever talking of
his winning, but says nothing of his losses. The
one bargain offsets hundred disappontments
The lost time, the unsatisfactory goods the arti-
Gle he had to return at his own expense, the re-
pairs on shipments damaged in transit, the patch
ing he has done the unlocked for heavy freight

temptation of the ONE article that is lust as good
or perhaps a trine better than he really expected
il to be. Like the man who thinks he is benefited
