LOYALTY AND STRIKERS

TT is not an inspiring spectacle, that Of over 25-
600 men, the best paid laborers and mechanics
in the world today and men engaged in govern
ment contracts, refusing to work unless they are
granted an increase of fifty per cent in wages.
Strikes and labor disturbances are hurtful to all
concerned at any time, particularly so when the
nation and the world, almost, is at war and effort
is being made by the government and all loyal cit
liens to bring the country up to its greatest efic-
iency. The men on strike were they employed in
labor not essential as that of finishing material
and equipment needed by the government, would
bring down on themselves sufficient condemnation,
but under the circumstances their action will be
considered inexcusable.
On the other hand there are thousands of
young men, skilled in the arts the mechanics bus
mess and the professions, who have given up their
life work, thir homes and occupations not for
money, but that men of the type and character of
those on strike may be protected.
There comes a time in the life and history of
the individual where the fruits of liberty so dearly
bought are not appreciated and license is made
of liberty. In most instances the strikers are men
from European countries, where they have lived
under oppression and worked for far less and UNI
der far worse conditions than they have ever ex-
perienced in the land of their new home. This
being the case, it would seem that the fitness of
things so disloyal to their government that they
will select time of need and stress to try and
enforce individual demands.-Idaho Register.

ONLY TWENTY YEARS AGO

Ladies wore bustles/
Nobody swatted the fly.
Nobody had seen silo.
Nobody had appendicitis.
Nobody wore white shoes.
And buttermilk was free for the asking.
Cantaloupes were called muskmelons.
You never heard of ''tin-lizze" or flivver.
Doctors wanted to see your tongue when you
were sick.
milk shake was the favorite drink at the
restaurants
Nobody cared what the price of gasoline was
in those days.
Farmers came to town for their mail-it was
not carried to them.
The hired girl drew one-fifty per week and was
satisfied with it. -,
The butcher threw in chunk of liver when
you bought meat
Nobody listened in on the telephone for there
were few telephones.
Strawstacks were burned instead of being
baled and stored for the next winter.
Publishing country paper was not business
it was run for the editors health.
Jules Verne was the only convert to the sub
marine and he told of it in his writings
The motor was an unknown thing and the
pneumatic tire was considered by us joke.
You stuck tubes in your ears to hear phono-
graph and you paid dime for the privilege of
doing Tx.

LEST WE GET MAD.

IT HE Helena, Montana, Independent protests
against the yellow element in Montana which,
it says, "has caused decrease in railroad ship
al in thirty days"
1t says, these were sidetracked by strikes
agitation, pro-German propaganda, cheap poll
tics, seditious talk and Industrial Workers of the
World"
The Independent sounds this warning note
Wait until Montana gets mad and the people rn
sponsible for the figures quoted above will be ~
lowed up fin the nav of our wrath"
Montana is not the only state that has suffered
from the yellow element. All over this Union a
yellow streak has appeared and the American
people are getting mad.
Demagogues, agitators, self-seekng college
professors sensational newspapers, and muck-rak-
ing magazines responsible for this yellow streak
are changing their tune and pulling down the red
flag.
The people Of this country had reason to get
mad. They discovered the deception the dema-
gogues had practiced.
All the solumn pledges written in party plat
forms by the busters of business the smashers of
the railroads and the revilers of the captains of
industry that, if they were given their way they
would reduce the cost of living have failed of full
fment.
The only ones to profit by the campaign of vi
tuperation busting and smashing have been the
cheap politicians, who, by the votes of the credu-
ous have been able to usurp the seats of the elder
statesmen.
Get tSe American people mad just once and
they will make short shift of the wreckers.
Get mad !-Leslies Weekly.

papers should view this question of government
advertising from the broadcast possible standpoint
Every editor, as matter of course, editorially
will support the government to the last word And
the news of the loan will be treated as BELTS it's
Importance as taking in the history of the world.
1t must not be forgotten that news is not adver-
Using and country newspapers never will permit
the lack of advertising to cut down the publication
of legitimate news any more than they will print

OIL RESERVE DECREASES

WISCONSIN has done more than any other
w state to hamper the war preparations of the
United States.
Now Paul o. Husting, the other Wisconsin Sen
ator has blocked relief measures for oil operators
at this session of Congress.
Meanwhile, the oil in storage has decreased by
100000 barrels since the first of the year. Pric
es are soaring and consumers are beginning to be
concerned lest the supply give out entirely. The
increased price Of oil is burden on all industry
and is borne by the people. Should the Govern
ment exercise its power to commander oil, the sit
uation would be desperate.
Politicians fiddle and the people pay and in this
case the nation may pay dearly for an uncalled for
delay by vote-seeking politicians

SOME good work among the boys and girls of
the city is being done by Deputy City Marshal
Francis Dalton who is taking a keen interest in
the children and is doing all he can to aid parents
IN keeping them off the streets at night He should
be supported and backed up by the parents and
also by the city officers. Nothing is more needful
in the community, and if PERSISTED in better con-
dtions are certain TO result. We still believe that
curfew law persistently enforced would be of
great benefit to the community

THE exceptionally high prices of all farm pro-
ducts has crowned the farmer king of all mankind.
There is no trade or profession open to the young
man and young woman that offers as strong in
ducements as farming, particularly the purchase
and Improvement Of vacant land There is no
other industry unless it is sheep, which now re-
qures very large investment, that will pay as
big returns as the improvement of raw land and
its cultivation to profitable crops. And yet the
Cedar Valley contains thousands and thousands of
acres of excellent land, susceptible of cultivation
both by arid methods and by the application Of
high or artesian water, not now in use. If this
land were all broken up and cultivated to suitable
crops as it ultimately will be- population of ten
thousand could be sustained Young men, there
is a school in your midst that will equip you with
the needed knowledge for subdung this idle land
make use of the opportunity, and then buy or lease
a tract of ground and go to work. Your abors will
be amply rewarded

GET out on the land. If you are already
farmer take up or purchase an additional piece
of ground and bring it under cultivation thus be-
coming a bigger farmer AT the same time try to
get few sheep or an increased number of other
livestock on your farms and you will soon become
more prosperous farmers. Include several acres
of corn, and some hogs in your program. There is
money in them.

IF the roads throughout the United States
were all surfaced ospaved the problem of the de-
fciency in the supply of gasoline and oil would be
solved. This is an absolute waste to the American
people as we'll not only of the gasoline and OIL but
of millions of dollars worth of tires and repair
bills on gasoline propelled vehicles. There is no
wiser investment that can be made by communities,
counties, states and the general government than
the Improvement of its highways and vigorous,
concerted action is needed along this line. The
wide-tired wagon law, which goes into effect in
this state in 1920, will help some but we will never
have good roads until they either surfaced with
shale gravel of other suitable material, or else
paved, and the sentiment throughout the country
if fast growing in favor of the latter method
There is beginning to be strong talk of paved
road from Logan to st. George, extending the
length of the state and it is certain that the state
could not make wiser investment A good paved
road extending the length of the state with branch
roads where needed of the same material would
serve the requirements of the people better than
the construction of more railroads.

IF Industrial Agent Douglas White of the Salt
Lake Route is not disappointed in his ambition,
he should ere this have an automobile with its
front wheels over the brink Of Zion Canyon, via
the Cedar and Kanarra mountains. With a NOV
ing picture operator and machine, and light car
already extensively used for this class of work
bancked up by one or more teams Mr.. White and
party, with Mr. Richard A. Thorley of this place
acting guide, started the ascent of the mountain
road last Wednesday morning The mountain is
an extremely difficult climb, and the country to
be traversed is rough and never before tackled by
motor vehicle, but Mr.. White was determined
to put the car to the top of the canyon come what
might, and such determination can hardly know
anything but success. If this attempt proves that
the route is at all feasible it will doubtless lead to
the construction of an auto highway which will
enable the tourist to Zion Canyon from the
brink. Another move is on foot, supported by Mr.
White and the Salt Lake Route, to have the canyon
to the west of Zion included in the monument, or
designated as a national park, which it is richly
entitled to become.

weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he

He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-

could only be described as torture.

THE GRIMNESS OF OUR WAR
SITUATION.
In New York they SEE the me-
mace. Men are there on war errands
for the Allies and from nearby Wash

carried on constantly. The very at
mosphere is charged with it. 1t is the
talk and thought of the whole popula-
ton There is no escaping the shad-

parent activities. Our distance has
kept us in sort of enchantment OF
