 Men of Dartmouth Battle.

Philadelphia. Pa, Nov. 13.-Penn Franklin field yesterday afternoon were a badly battered up lot. The backneld and linesmen came in for some stiff bruising at Dartmouth's hands. but they did not feel the full effects of their mauling until they ran through signal drill yesterday.
 Bert Bell is nursing a swollen elbow and did not practice, and Hobey Light. the quarterback, is badly shaken up.
 Folwell began preparing his ma chine for the Michigan battle next Saturday. After a brisk signal drill the coach lined up his cripples in a series of new formations and shifts that will be sprung on the Wolverines.

Premier Lloyd George Is Criticized
 Because of His "1nCredtblC E, Blunders'' Talk in Paris

London, Nov. 13.-The speech made yesterday by Premier Lloyd George in Paris has made q stir in the local press, where his references to the AL lie:i' incredible blunders" and other matters are printed under sensational headlines. Comment on the speech is mingled with criticism of the new AL lied war council as announced here yesterday by Chancellor Bonar Law. Some newspapers criticize adversely the new military plan and accuse the premier of wishing to take over the strategic decision direction of the al- lied campaigns. Rumors in the Sunday newspapers of the impending retire.

THE VALUE OF 4 HIGH SCHOOL.
EDUCATION

recent number of the School Board
Journal contained the following article
concerning the value of high school
educaton
"A generation ago. completing the
grammar school course was counted by
many as a good common educat tion.
Today the standards of education have
advanced to such an extent that any
thing short of gradua tion from high
school is not considered by the majority
OF people as Il good educati In
fact so many boys and girls are now
aVailing themselves of n high school
training there are nearly twice as
many young people attending Ameri-
can high schools today as ten years
ago. that those pupils who drop out
of school without this equipment find
themselves later on at a decided dis
advantage in competing with the great
majority who have had the better edu-
cation.
While we can never place a definite
value on the immense personal and
social advantages to he deriv ed from a
higher education, we have some facts
to offer concerning the worth in money
of high school education to almost
any hoy. Doubtless these figures
would prove about equally true also
for the girl who leaves the home circle
to earn her living. few years ago a
special investigator of the Ma ssachu-
sets State Board of Education studied
a large number of cases and found
that on an average the boys leaving
grammar school at fourteen began at
"a week and The end their
twentY-fifth year were receiving $12.I5
a week, while those graduating firm
the high school four years later began
at $40 week and at twenty-five were
receiving S3l a week. The total earn
ings of the grammar school boy in the
twelve years were $5.722.j0, while
those Of the average high school boy in
the eight years were $1.311.50.

products therefrom, the conditions
mentioned above have not been
complied with. Agents Of the
Secretary Of Labor have authority
to inspect places where goods are
produced or held. Penalty for
violation is a fine not to exceed
5000 for the first otfcnse and for
subsequent offenses fine of from

both.
This law will become effective
September / and applies to goods
manufactured thirty days prior to
removal from factory.
German efficiency. has been
held up as degree of excellence
unattainable by a democracy.
The accomplishments Of the
United States since April 9th re-
fute the truth Of the claim. In
the short space Of time since that
day the United States has accom-
plished the following:
Declared state Of war as exist
ing between this country and Ger
many.
Seized 81 German ships and be-
gan repair work on them.
Authorized unanimously a war
fund of 81, 000,00O,0OO.
Appropriated $600,000,00o for.
merchant shipping and as much
for air fleets.
Agreed to loan our allies $1,000
0O0,0 900 and advanced them a large
proportion of that sum.
Passed selective draft law and
in single day registered nearly
ten million men for military SER
vice.
Enlisted 100000 volunteer sol
diers in the regular army'and ma
tional guard of the states.
Sent a commission to Russia to
aid democracy there and body
of railroad men to Russia and
another to France to advise and
assist in railroad transportation
in those countries.
Began the construction of 32
camps for our soldiers.
Sent to England a fleet of de-
stroyers and to France a detach-
ment of troops.
Authorized and now enforcing
embargo whereby our enemies
will receive no more food or ma
terial from us.
Passed a food conservation law.
Organized many voluntary com
missions and boards who are aid
ing the government and the peo-
pie in the speeding up Of work,
conservation of food, and other
national movements.
Drafted by lot 1000 men for
military service.
While the government was ac-
complishing these lines the Ameri-
can people have loaned the United
States $4,000, 100000 and offered
$1,OoO,OOO,OOO more, over four

taxes. The raising of the de-
manded guaranty from $1,000
to $1,125, and the statement
of the management that ticket
pledges would not be accepted
by the chautauqua, resulted in
a loss of interest on the part
of others. 1t is said that next
spring an effort will be made to
secure a guaranty list.

million citizens subscribing the
loan.
In addition they have given over
800. .OOO. 900 to the American Red
Cross and $3,O00,000 to the Young
Men s Christian Association.
All these things were accom-
plished while our soil was not in
vaded or even threatened with in
vasion and without any disturb
ance of business conditions. All
was done with the calm deter
mination and judgment of an earn
est, patriotic people performing a
for civilization and man
kind and maintaining the rights,
the dignity, and the honor Of the
greatest nation in the world.
The German leaders derided
Americas S entry into the war as a
bluff. This is our answer.
The German Imperial govern
ment was nearly fifty years in per-
fecting its military efficiency. In
less than four months the Ameri-
can republic has made such strides
as to indicate that in less than
two years time the boasted su-
periority of German efficiency will
have been discredited. There is
such thing as American et1icien-
cy, and time will prove that Ger
man efficiency can not withstand
it, fighting as it is for liberty,
justice, and humanity.

blem of our unity, our power, our
thought and purpose as a nation.
1t has no other character than
that which we give it from gen.
GRAFTON to generation. The chOic-
es are ours. 1t floats in majestic
silence above the hosts that exc
cute those choices whether in
peace or in war. Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States.
The Industrial Workers of the
World say that, if necessary,
they'll see to it that there s no
wheat crop in this country this
year. The rich can get food what
ever happens. If it costs $40 a
loaf for bread, the rich will easily
get their bread. So the threat of
the I. w. w. is against the poor.
against the common man, woman
and child of America.
The subscribers to the German
war loans are being told that they
will be paid back out of the in
IDENTITIES the government expects
to collect at the end of the war.
This sounds like one of those bets
that is to be paid when Mr.. Bryan
is elected president.-Ka City
Times.
Two men met on the street.
One of them was proprietor of
business which did not advertise,
did not contribute to public en-
terprises, and did not represent
any particular standard of mer-
chandising. The other man was
broke, too. They were afraid that
the war was going to hurt busi-
ness-that the high prices would
prevent merchants from carrying
stocks, and would keep people
from buying. They feared that
the crops were poor, and that
there wouldn't be much business
for anybody.
Yet in the same town, at the
same time, were other business
men who were planning how the
town would handle the next war
loan, how the Y. M. G. A. con.
tribution could be increased to
care for the soldier boys abroad,
and how the Red Cross could get
more materials and more work
done. They had business estab-
lishments of their own, but were
not worrying about themselves
they were concerned for greater
things. And strange to say. their
business was not suffering, their
credits were not running down,
their trade was good, and their
customers were increasing.
Now why in thunder is it that
men who tend entirely to their
own affairs have so little to do,
while those who look after their
community and the welfare of
their country have to hire extra
help to care for their trade? Do
you suppose it's because the best
class of trade prefers to do bust
ness with the best class of busi-
ness men?
September /, 1916, congress
enacted federal child labor act
"to prevent interstate commerce
in the products Of child labor,
etc." BY it's terms the act goes
into effect September |, 1917, and
places establishments whose prod
ucts are shipped in interstate COM
merce under the following re-
strictions:
No child under 16 can legally
be employed in any mine or quar-

A GOOD ADVERTISING MEDIUM

The Record is the largest all-hon'e-
print paper published in the southern
part of the state. 1t is all the pre-
duct of our own very complete print
ing plant; it is well printed, carefully
written and edited and has character
and influence, which is proven by the
large number of subscribers upon our
subscription list. 1t is to be found in
the great majority of homes in this
part of the state, and also has wide
circulation in northern Utah and the
surrounding states and country. For
these and other reasons which we
might mention it is an excellent adj
vertising medium, and no enterprising
and progressive merchant or other
business man of this section can afford
to pass il up as means of increasing
his business. If you are not now a
patron of our advertising columns,
better let US talk the matter over with
you. We are both losing money for
not getting together.

On the question of sugar the peo-
pie of Cedar City have been living
from hand to mouth, so to speak, for
some weeks now What little sugar
has been obtainable by the stores has
come in broken doses, few sacks at
time, and good part of the time
some of the people, at least, have had
to either go without sweetening in
their coffee and mush or substitute
with honey and sorgham. Today it
is announced that car of sugar is
actually on the way, however, from
Payson to Lund, and it is hoped that
another day or two will see the end
of the famine.

WHY THE INCREASE
IS NECESSARY

In justice to the public, as we'll as
ourselves, we deem an explanation
expedient of why it has been found
necessary to increase the price of add
mission for persons over II years of
age to our theatre. Some persons
have intimated that the l0G, tax on
gross boX-oflice receipts is the only
war tax levied on moving picture
houses, and therefore that the in
crease in price charged should be
only one cent. 1t is perhaps not gen
orally known that in addition to this
1000 tax on gross receipts, moving
picture theatres also have to pay a
special internal revenue tax, an eX-
else tax on reels, and in the case of
theatres removed from an exchange,
as we are, an express war tax. All
these as a result Of the war; and in
addition to the license and property
tax of normal conditions. Besides
this, supplies of various kinds and
living expenses have Advanced as ev-
erybody knows, and there is scarcely
anything that we buy that has not
increased in price.
In the face OF this condition we have
found it necessary to increase the ad-
mission price for persons over II
years of age from 10 cents TO 10
cents. The price for children under
~ years remains the same --Thorley

Woman Dry Farmer Makes Good.

Mrs. M. Tagliaferro, who resides
with her brother at the old California
ranch, between this place and Lund,
was in town today and made The Rec
ord a pleasant call. Mrs. Tagliaferro
is one of the successful dry land farm
ers in the Escalante Valley, who has
not found it necessary to leave her
claim in order to make living. AL
though her crops have not been as
good this year as last, the rabbits
taking her corn, and the potato yield
being light, she states that she has
500 chickens on her ranch which give
revenue of approximately $40 per
month. Mrs. Tagliaferro expects to
increase her flock to 1000 another
year, she states. She is also much in
terested in the proposition of inter-
esting the Government in the rabbit
crop of this county as food for sol
diers, and says that her rabbits are
all corn fed now and in good condition
for the block.
