tifies to the success of prohibition:
merchants In ten lines of business
in my city have consulted and testi-
fed that their collections are far bet
ter this year than last. The sales
sheets of many retail dealers show n
steady increase in the amount of bust
ness done, while the records of the

increase in the number of carload
shipments of all kinds. The post Of

nomenal for post office In town

Any citizen having piece of vacant ground and
little spare capital could do great service to
the community and at the same time lay the foun-
dation for competency by entering this field.
In addition to this there should be company
formed and amply financed for the erection of
homes to sell to the young men who are growing
up among us or who may wish to move here from
other districts, and which can be had on the in
stament method of paying for them.
There has been good deal of talk of a large
and modern hotel, to cost about 100000, but in
our opinion next year will be enough for
this. 'fF
The publishing company and other enterprises,
no doubt, are also seeking to interest capital with
them.
With all these crying needs not to mention
the development of the farming land ana livestock
interests, the most important of all, it seems a
shame to invest money in outside stock schemes,
the most of which prove to be fakes or swindles,
and government Liberty Bonds are about the only
investment of foreign character that the people
should invest money in. Of course, we should do
our fair portion towards the financing of our gov
eminent for the war in which we are engaged
But before considering seriously the invest
ment of capital in outside schemes, look about
your own dooryard and see if there are not just
as good opportunities, barred of the enchantment
which distance lends, are to be had elsewhere

A GOOD WAY TO SAVE.
II \

IN encouraging the people of America to save it
is believed the Liberty Loan Bonds are going
to perform an important function in our national
life The small denomination of some of the bonds
renders it practical for the ordinary wage Garner
to purchase one with the earnings of few months
and the banks of the country have undertaken to
provide for the purchase of these bonds in small
weekly or monthly payments.
BY devoting each week of each month to the
purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds such little of
ready money as are often frittered away for use
less things can not only acquire property which
ranks among the very best securities in the his
tory of the world, but can at the same time feel
that a patriotic duty has been performed and a
habit of saving acquired
OF course the ultimate result of this war will
be victory for America, but what the effects of
the war will be upon America and American peo-
pie is unknown. When such an unknown future
confronts us, prudence demands that contingent
ces be provided for. An uncertain future is a
time to be provided for. No one knows how great
help savings invested in Liberty Loan Bond
may be few years hence.
And your savings will not only be absolutely
secure but will constantly be bringing in interest
an income absolutely free from taxation and alb
solutely certain
There are other possibties-they might bet
ter be called probabilites-and is that the Lii
berry Loan Bonds, when peace comes and money
now in active and industrial use will be seeking
quiet investment, may bring handsome pre-
MUM.
The Liberty Loan Bonds offer every incentive
to saving-easy payments, absolutely safe secu-
rity, service done to the country, and probable
handsome profit

AT FEARFUL COST.

England has Mt last walked up to the
ravages made on her finances by drink.
A writer In the Christian of London
informs us that since the war began
the liquor trade has used up the labor
of lifting 60,O00O00 tons; that the
great Pyramid of Egypt could have
been pulled down and reset three
times over by the labor used in land
ing the drink stuff at the London
docks. This amounts to more than
all the rest of the unloading together.
With regard to food, 1t is said there
would have been three and half
million more tons of food but for the
traffic. From every home an amount
equal to a pound has been stolen daily
since the war began. The labor is
considered equivalent to the whole of
the United Kingdom having stood idle
for hundred days.
The war savings committee has been
preaching economy to ladies In their
dress. and discovers now that two and
half million dollars are squandered
daily for drink that damages health.

HOW MUCH is LIBERTY WORTH TO YOU?

THIS is the question that every American should
ask himself or herself. For ages we have
boosted of love of liberty. We have called our
country "the land of the free and the home of the
brave" 1t has been proved in other wars that
this was not mere empty boast by our fathers
and our forefathers. But the question of how
much is liberty worth to this generation has not
yet been fully answered.
1t is going to be answered nobly by those who
serve under the colors Many of them will answer
with their death. 1t is going to be answered and
answered clearly by others who serve their coun-
try as best they may 1t is going to be answered
by others still who unable to render personal SER
vice, have yet furnished their government the
means to prosecute the war;
The number of subscribers to the Liberty Loan
Bonds is going to be index of the love of liberty
of the American citizenry of today. The list of
Liberty Loan Bond holders is going to be direc-
tory of the patriots of America.

THAT the railroads need more revenue to meet
the increased cost of operating is no longer de-
bated. The only argument will center on the size
of the increase The biggest shippers in the coun-
try were saved from ruin when the railroad strike
was averted, and the averting of that strike alone
cost the railroads between $75,000,000 and $780,
100000 annually. AS chief benefcaries, the. ship
pers can hardly object with good grace to policy
of fair play. Producers and shippers, unhamp-
cred by restrictions, have had to raise prices for
their commodities from so to 100 per cent

TALKS WITH THE BUSINESS MAN.

THE calendar the blotter, the souvenir or pre-
MUM you give away, all have their place in
the general scheme but the advertising medium
that sells the goods is the newspaper.
When you have decided what your advertising
appropriation will be for the coming year land
this is something you should think about make
up your mind to put at least two-thirds of it into
newspaper advertising-into real, i've pulling,
getting the-business advertisements.
well dressed window is always trade getter
Change your window display frequently putting
in goods appropriate to the season and plainly
priced. Call attention to these windows from time
to time in your newspaper advertisements.
Be of service to your community. Never in
the least degree misrepresent. When you adver-
tise reduction sale, put it on in accordance with
your promises.
Read the advertising of the large stores of the
city, found in the metropolitan dailies You are
bound to catch some of the spirit, and when you
do catch it, you will enjoy mapping out your cam

MORE PATRIOTIC DUTIES.

A ND now, if you have done your "bit" for the
aid of your country by the purchase of a
Liberty Loan Bond, and still have little cash
that is not working, wish to suggest that you
show your loyalty to your home town y-invest-
ing little in some of the local enterprises, which
besides promising fair return on your money
are necessary to the progress of the town, and
which in need of your assistance. AS one of
these enterprises call attention to the Cedar
Electric Company, which is one of our most neces-
sary utilities, and which requires the investment
of little new capital in order to place the plant
in position to furnish dependable service at all
times and to get on a basis where it will earn a
dividend on the capital it can easily be made
to do.
This week the Cedar Lumber and Commission
Company is bringing in a full electrical equipment
which will use five six motors in handling their
work. and every few days sees the installation of
more electrical equipment. We must have con-
slant, dependable service in order to utilize this
equipment with which the town is being stocked,
and in order to secure such service, 1t is neces-
sary that number of additions and improvements
be made to the plant. In addition to the cement
dam and spillway that we have already referred
to, there ought to be complete additional cleo
trica machine. 1t is pointed out by local ny
draulic engineer that it is impossible to keep any
machine running constantly. 1t has to be shut
down occasionally for adjustments and repairs,
and at such times there should be another machine
to switch to- in order to prevent an interruption
in the service.
The business of the company is something that
is sure to grow and expand and will steadily in
crease to point where it will be lucrative to the
company if the service only be maintained at
a point of efficiency where people will be justified
in installing electrical equipment with the assur-
ance that it will be available at all times
At the present time there is considerable agi-
tation in regard to wooden mills for this place,
and "to man up tree" it would appear to be a
very feasible and profitable venture, as well as
one that would give employment to quite num-
Der of people who would have their homes here
We are informed that the people of Cedar City
have it in their power to swing this enterprise to
Cedar City if they will but show the right kind of
interest.
Then there is the Green coal tram, which is
without question, q most important enterprise for
this section of country, and one which would do
a lot towards bringing prosperity to our doors
besides probably being the opening wedge for the
securing of railroad into this locality. Its stock
is going begging, to certain extent before local
people, who have been shown the preference in
this matter.
There is crying need for more and better ac
commodations for students and the strangers who
are coming here There should be lot of cottages
erected to hire furnished and UNFINISHED, with
such accommodations and conveniences as would
make them desirable including plumbing etc

 The reason so few persons have seen the Waterwheels is that the passage down the Toulumne Canyon is one of extreme difficulty. The hardy camp CTS of the Sierra Club, who for years have maintained a camp at Soda Springs in the Toulumne Meadows, have been their principal visitors: it is they who have made known their uniGN beauty to the world. One mo- tion picture only has been made of them.
 Last year the Department of the Interior built a trial over the White Cascades in the Toulumne Canyon as far as the top of the Waterwheel Falls. Here the funds were exhaust ed, leaving the most strenuous part of the climb without a trail The con- pletion of the trail past the Water wheel and through the entire canyon to the Hetch Hetchy valley will be at tempted this season.

SEASON OF FOREST FIRES

One tree will make million match es; one match can burn million trees. An appeal to Ministry to aid in combating carelessness, the arch enemy of the nations forests. This is the season of forest fires
 Today's papers report the complete destruction ol Vado, N M., by a for est fire. The foothills near Los An geles are in flames. A huge blaze, crossing into the Tu,micacori division of the Coronado National Forest from
 Sonora, Mexico, has just been exiting uished. Eight fires are burning in the lChiricahua Mountains of Arizon4. three in the Apache forest, and ore in the Datil forest of New Mexico.
 Forest rangers are fighting dozens. of smaller fires throughout the South west.
 This widespread destruction is al-
 most an annual occurrence. Forest fires destroy over $5O,000,000 worth of timber in the United States each year. Sawn into lumber, this wasted timber would build annually nearly million American houses.
 A forest fire cannot be regarded as visitation of Providence. Careful statistics kept by the U. s. Forest Service show that 9 per cent of the fires within the National Forests of
 Arizona and New Mexico start from
 sheer carelessness with matches, campfires, and tobacco. A total of
 50 per cent start from human causes,
 and are therefore preventable. Forest fires take a large toll in hu-
 man lives, and, in addition to the tim
 Der losses, destroy hundreds of saw
 mills. lumber yards, ranches, standing
 crops, and, in some cases even vil- 1 lages and towns.
