Batry Vim Doubles Life
And Reduces Battery Cost

"Batry Vim is a solution that re-
places. the old sulphuric acid and dis
titled water method of recharging bat
teries," is the trite description of the
new method of treating storage bat
teries given by John W. Hughes,
manager of the Batry Vim Company
of Omaha. "Batry Vim breaks up
and controls sulphation in lead type
storage batteries, doubles the life Of
the average battery and cuts the cost
in two"
Mr.. Hughes said the average bat
terry costs $50 and its life is about
eighteen months; with the Batry Vim
treatment an additional life Of eight
cen months is given, in fact it is
guaranteed, and the cost of treating it
IS about SIS. To secure this result
it is necessary for them to tear the
battery down. remove the sulphate
from the lead pipes, clean and rebuild
it, treat it with the solution and
charge it. It is then restored to new
life and is tested in their laboratory
before it is permitted to leave. Dur
ing the three months they have been
in Omaha they say they have never
had complaint.
c. E. Thompson is associated with
Mr.. Hughes and they have the agency
for the state of Nebraska. They will
soon open a station in Lincoln and
other cities throughout the state.

Stearns People Optimistic
On the Business Outlook

@We have just received reports from
most of our district sales managers in
answer to request to give US infor-
nation on how the dealers in general
feel in relation to the automobile busi-
ness and the war situation. Each re-
port Is an enthusiastic outlook for the
automobile business" says the head
Of the sales department Of the Stearns
Automobile company.
"The optimism shown by bankers
and business men in general indicates
a thorough trust and satisfaction in
the present national situation that is
even now stimulating all business.
This release of a vast amount Of
money means prosperity for our peo-
pie in all pursuits.
"Our business to date has certainly
been most gratifying, and shows a
very healthy increase over last year
in all departments, not overlooking
our rapidly increasing foreign trade.

ering 4 Stearns-Knight best place his

theatrical Queen Enthuses Ouer
King Car Which Is Here This Week

"Whatl you don't mean to tell me
that the 1l,000-mile test King car is
still running and will be here this
week?" was a query addressed to w.
[. Killy of the Noyes-Killy Motor
company by Miss Helen Raymond,
one of the stars in the Every Good

last week enroute to the Pacific coast.
When Miss Raymond was informed
that it was true and that the car has
piled up over $1,000 miles, she was
astounded.

Good Cars Are Their
Own Best Boosters

"A gradual but very apparent
change has taken place in the atti-
tude OF tie car buying public toward
cars which have been making fea-
turc of sensational stunts" says A. $.
Avery of the Auburn Automobile
company, distributor Of tho Auburn
Six.
Buyers have expected more Of the
cars than they have a right 20, but
instead of realizing that they were
still obtaining their moneys worth,
they have gone about condemning the
cars that disappointed them.
ut is no secret in the industry that
certain cars which we're talked about
By everybody little while ago and
which enjoyed for a time regular
walkaway in sales, are now finding it
hard to sell at all.
"On the other hand cars which have
always been restrained in their claims
are going ahead steadily. The Auburn
Six is an example. Such cars really
offer the buyer the greatest induce
ment because the price cannot be in
hated to take advantage OF demand.
THE automobile business is slowly
but surely getting down to basis OF
stable, dependable merchandise.

PROTEST AGAINST
STATES STACKING
Up ON ROAD WORK
American Motorist Explains
Why the improvements
Should Continue in
Spite of War.

Following a news item conveying
the information that several states
contemplate abandoning their ROAD
building plans because the United
States is at war, the current number
Of American Motorist, advocate OF
good roads, prints an editorial on
Shall the War Bring Road Building
TO a Haiti" 1t says:
"A pronounced tendency toward
curtailment OF road work during 1917
on account Of war conditions is mani
Testing itself. Several state highway
departments are arranging to reduce
their road work to a minimum and
are advising counties to do likewise,
THE situation should be carefully
analysed and hasty judgment should
be avoided.
"If by curtailing road work the food
supply of the nation can be markedly
increased, enlistments in our fighting
.orces stimulated, or production OF
hose things necessary to the success
ul conduct Of the war enlarged, then
by all means postpone new road work
until next year or until the close Of
he war.
"In a determination Of these ques-
tions, however, there are important
facts which must not be overlooked.
One OF these is that farm labor in any
given section of the country is re-
quired in a large amount only at GER
tain short seasons of the year, namely,
the crop planting and the crop har-
vesting times. II a whole seasons
road work is abandoned so that the
road laborers may be available for the
few weeks they are needed on the
farm, the query necessarily arises as
to whether this is real efficiency.
1T is contended also that the road
laborer is quite distinct from the farm
laborer and knows little or nothing Of
farm work. This may or may not be
true. As to the use OF road laborers
in munition factories, it is exceedingly
doubtful whether these men could be
-eadily and efficiently turned into mu-
milton workers.
"Would it not be the part OF wis
dom for highway departments to make
survey Vi tHC oltudtiOH anu u1 COu~
ferences with contractors and public
officials determine with reasonable ex-
actness the economic advantages and
disadvantages which would follow a
continuance or discontinuance Of road
work for the seasons
"Another reason advanced for eur-
failing work during the present season
is the enormous increase in the prices
of materials and labor. This would
ordinarily seem to be valid reason,
but the same logic applies to all other
constructive enterprises.
"The railroads, the builders OF all
kinds of structures, manufacturers Of
equipment must all pay the toll levied
by the constantly soaring cost Of liv-
ing and working.
"After all. excessive cost Of public
utilities is a lighter burden upon the
)houlders Of the people than the bur-
len Of poverty induced by idleness.

Walt Mason Pays His
Respects to HAYNES Car

"On sunny days, and when it rains,
/ go a-scooting in my Haynes. In
winter, when there's sleet and snow,
pour in gasoline and go. And in the
spring, when grass is green, fill my
tank with gasoline, and whiz along the
country road, as though pursued by
men l owed. And in the summer,
when the sun is sending heat down by
the ton, / pour more gas into my
Haynes, and go cavorting DER the
plains. And in the autumn, when the
air is feeling frosty everywhere, ! buy

they were buying motor wains.
II often wonder how they make a
car that doesn't balk or break be-
meath such usage as would hump To-
comotive to the dump. The latter en-
gine runs on rails; its nice smooth
roadway never fails; it's nursed and
doctored every day; mechanics trail
it all the way; its pulse they feel, its
works they test, whene'er the blamed
thing stops to rest. And notWith-
standing all this care, it's always
bowling for repair.
"My boat runs on the country pike;
you know just what that road is like;
in every furlong there's jar that

chanics round it toll, unless l wind it

The roads, due to heavy ore teaming,
are always more or less cut up, but
with constant wet weather they were
made well nigh impossible. Car after

CEDAR CITY MAN WINS
BIG RECOGNITION IN ARMY

Lawrence Haslam, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Haslam Of this city, who
was our first man to enlist in the
service of the United States and OBJ
tain his uniform, has been wining
much recognition for his splendid
craftsmanship, and which has been
the means of his being sent to the
front after comparatively short per-
iod of training in the Texas camp.
Authentic information is not at our
command just at present as to the
records made by our volunteer in the
line of artillery target practice, but
there are a number Of rumors in cir
culation, all of which give him very
high average. One is to the effect
that he was beaten by only one man in
the United States service. But this
is well founded-that he shipped for
France about six weeks ago. When
within two or hree miles Of the New
York harbor the ship on which he was
sailing was wrecked, but no lives were
lost Larence was the last man to
leave the ship, he wrote home on a
postal card This is about six weeks
ago, and his people have received no
farther direct word from him. They
had the newspaper account stating
that the troops he was with arrived
safely in France, and were reviewed
by the King of England. Since that
time there has been long and trying
silence. And such is the destiny OF
war. The life of a soldier is pleasant
compared with the suspense endured
by dear ones at home.

containing our write-up of the County

unable to fill the order, or supply any
more copies of this issue. but heavy
demand has entirely exhausted the
supply provided. We printed about
thirty or forty extra copies of this
number, as is our custom of every is
sue, but they were soon called for by
residents, for the most part, of the
western part Of the county.

Labor Scarce and Prices High.

There has been noticeable scarcity
of labor in this locality of late, and
it has been hard for farmers to obtain
sufficient help to harvest their crops.
The garages have difficulty in getting
competent help in their line, and the
sheep herders are now drawing down
SIS per month and up, as against $50
and $50 per month, the prevailing
prices fifteen to twenty years ago.
And the alarming side of the qestion
to the employer is that everything in
dicates that men are going to be
scarcer and wages higher before the
pendulum swings in the opposite direc-
ton. OF coures, however, this con-
dition is very satisfactory to the la
borer, or would be if he did not have
to pay so dearly for everything he
buys to live upon.

In order to obtain fire wood this
winter it will be necessary for you to
obtain a permit from the government,
whether the wood is to be obtained
from forest reserve or fom the pub
lie domain. Application for the re-
CURED blank forms should be made to
the United States Land Office at Salt
Lake, and as it requires two or three
months (as we are informed) to un-
wind the red tape connected with the
securing of permits, and since the
wood men are only allowed to deliver
wood to persons holding permits, it
behooves us to make application for
our permits as early as possible.

WANTS INFORMATION
ON PARAGONAH MOUNDS

An elder in the mission field has
written us for information concern
ing the disclosures made by the UNI
covering of mounds the past summer
in the vicinity of Paragonah, which
he thinks may have bearing upon
the authenticity of the Book of Nor
mon, purporting to be an history of
the inhabitants of this continent pri-
or to its discovery by Columbus.
We planned to visit the mounds in
connection with Photographer Adams
at the time they were being exhumed,
for the purpose of preparing an illus
trated article for The Record, but the
usual crush of work prevented, and
we have no first hand information on
the question. We have been informed
that several rooms constructed of
clay concrete, and apparently fash
toned with molds something similar
TO those used in cement work nova
days, were uncovered, together with
some specimens of pottery, etc, but
our information is rather indefinite
Perhaps some reader who visited the
mounds while they were being uncov-
cred, would furnish us a more reliable
and elaborate account for publication
which would no doubt prove interest
ing TO many of our readers.
