b. A. c. MID-WINTER TERN

A TTENTION is directed to the announcement
of the B. A. c. md-winter term which will be
found in the advertising columns of The Record
this issue. This is an announcement which should
have important significance to a large number
of young and middle aged men and women of the
Southern Counties of the State-a class of men
and women who have the responsibilities of MAX
ing a livelihood for themselves and perhaps for
others, and who unable to attend school during
the entire winter, but who can devote twelve weeks
of mid-winter between fall and spring work to
the Improvement of their educational equipment.
To this class the B. A. C. offers precious opportu-
mites. 1t has brought to their DOORS so to speak,
of the best equipped and organized educational
institutions of the state, prepared to extend to
s anm ,a advanced az learning and M smose
whetha. . ~ ecf they may wish to select,

scfences There is no longer any excuse for igno-
rance or the lack of the culture and refinement
which an education gives
The Branch Agricultural College has been es-
tablshed and is maintained in the southern part of
the state for the express benefit of the people of
this section. Ii offers the same or better oppor-
tunites than any northern institution in the state
in the courses taught, including the full field of
senior high school and junior college work, and
also covering the field of business industrial and
musical endeavor. 1t has splendid corps of in
structors, has well stocked library and aborator-
les, and offers every facility and advantage for the
man or woman, boy or girl who has that inherent
thirst for knowledge which must be the actuating
motive power behind every real education.
The man woman with education has a
tremendous advantage in every walk of life over
the individual lacking this important equipment.
II is something that remains with one as long as
life lasts it cannot be stolen burned or dissi-
pated as property holdings 1t is ever at hand,
a lever with which to move the obstacles which
beset ones pathway. Then why should people ne
glect or look lightly upon these golden opportu-
mites?
There is room in the institution for one hun
dred more students for the Winter Course, and
every reservation should be spoken for before the
term opens December third
Full information will be cheerfuly furnished
to any one addressing a communication to or call
ing upon the Principal Of the B. A. c..

TOO bad that the State Legislature should
have selected this year, when meat of all kinds is
so scarce and so high in price, to close the laws
against the killing of deer and other wild game.
Many people in this frontier country have been
accustomed to reinforce their winter store of food
with the carcass of fat buck each fall and the
new restriction will be felt keenly by such persons.
However, they can have the consolation of know
ing that meat is not likely to be any cheaper fer
number of years and the wild game will be just
as acceptable when it is available.

HOGS are bringing just about double the price
this fall that they did last And it is not likely
that they will get much cheaper for some years.
Iron county has thousands of acres of unmproved
land that will grow good corn without water and
without an excessive amount of work Corn is
the Heal feed for hogs. What better opportunity
could young man ask for than to get hold Of
tract of land and go to raising corn and hogs? If
he is careful and conservative and withal indus
trious and progressive, he will be in comfortable
circumstances in an incredibly short time.

ONE benefit of the war is that it has induced
consumers to study foods and food values. 1t is
also acting a stimulus to thrift and energy that
will be far-reaching in it's effects, and will in
large measure compensate for the tremendous
waste of substance, time and energy that the war
itself is causing, when the time for reconstruction
comes. And with the burden of cripples and in
competents that the war will leave upon the world
to care for we will need this practice in economy
and thrift most sorey

This is mighty good time for everybody to
get busy and improve our country roads. Winter
will be coming along soon and then we will be
again lamenting the fact that the roads are mud
dy, and rough, and getting worse all the time"
OF course they will be muddy and rough, and will
keep on getting worse, unless we buck up our
selves and get out and do something worth while.
We have never yet seen a fellow who was not will
ling to get out his hammer and knock when the
subject Of country roads is mentioned, but very
few of them are willing to a shovel, a spade,
or scraper. If we had more do and less talk we
would have good roads everywhere and the family
hammer could be put to better use.

WE have not learned yet of the Government
taking any steps for the conservation of rabbit
meat for food in sections where this pest is
troublesome 1t is cinche that if these rabbits
that are destroying the farmers crops in this
county were in Europe they would be canned and
used for food in short order They would beat
horse and elephant meat to a FRAGILE.

Again the youth of our community are back in
school preparing themselves for the duties of life
A few years hence they will be bearing the bur-
dens of the community that are borne by us to-
day, and it is incumbent upon us to see that they
are in every way fitted to cope with the many and
intricate problems that will confront them. Edu-
cation is a modern necessity. 1t is no longer a
luxury reserved principally for the rich 1t is just
essential that the mind of the farmer be devel-
oped to the utmost capacity as it is for the mer-
chant or the doctor or lawyer. Each branch of
industry is dependent in great measure of the
success attained by other branches. No longer
can we Ego it alone" as our forefathers did in the the
good old days Hence, if we would have our chill
fen successful in life it is necessary that we af
ford them every opportunity to acquire the edu-
cation that is the first requisite to such achieve
ment. Keep the public schools in mind, encourage
the teachers by your personal interest and sup
port, and command the children in their efforts to
meet your expectations. Speak the good word
that breeds ambition in the breast Of teacher and
pupil alike, and begin the speaking today

THE Bank of Southern Utah is to be commend
ed for its display of patriotism shown in its mag
nificient subscription of $4,000 to the second is
suit of the Liberty Loan bonds 1t is not the GUS
tom of banks to make loans on AZ interest; they
are usually keen for the opportunity of paying the
depositor this amount for the use of his money
for a period of six months or more. But the man.
agement of this institution realize the seriousness
of the war we hav engaged in, and by their gen.
erous subscription will do their 'bit" for the early
and successful termination of the war OF course,
they had the money, or they could not have made
the subscription.

ton lasts the farmer may receive an assurance of
So 20 on the basis of the Chicago terminal market
for his 1917 wheat would like to have it clear to
every farmer in the United States that the food
administration by law comes to an end with peace.
$50 if peace should come between now and the
1913 harvest there will be period in which no
guarantee exists, and in which the price of wheat
may fall much below present prices, due to COM
petition from the more distant countries. Even
if carried 1917 wheat will not fall within the
1918 guarantee, and it must therefore be of prime
interest to the American farmer to get his 1917
wheat into the market at the earliest moment"
This statement does not signify an expected
early peace but rather points out the risk of gamb
ling on the continuation of the war. There is
nothing for farmers to gain, but the other hand
great deal to lose, if peace should arrive, by
Withholding 1917 wheat from the market.
Thus it is plain that the government is incur
ring great financial risk in guaranteeing the 1918
wheat price. Unler favorable conditions the crop
will total about a billion bushels, and if peace
should come within year there will be no foreign
market for at least 400 OOO,O 900 bushels of this
wheat The guarantee of So per bushel for 1918
wheat at primary interior terminal markets is
binding until May, 1919. Should peace come be-
fore the 1918 wheat harvest is marketed and the
vast stores of wheat in India and Australia be UNI
loaded on the worlds markets, the loss to the gov
eminent will probably be from $300,000,000 to
$500 900, 900 on the wheat guarantee The United
States government is therefore carrying the risk
as to the 1918 crop instead of asking the farmers
to do So

WHEAT PRICES AND PEACE

A MEXICAN farmers have been asked to expand
their acreage of wheat and as an assurance
against loss if peace should intervene, Congress
has given a guarantee of 50 per bushel for the
1918 harvest at primary interior terminal mar
kets. But question which has already been much
discussed is the effect on wheat prices if peace
should come within year. The answer is clearly
given in published statement bulletin No. 10)
of the u. S. Food Administration.
"This guarantee" Mr.. Hoover explains, "does
not apply to the 1917 harvest and while the Unit

BILE what it cost us two years ago. The ink we
used is away up in price. The oil that keeps the
press revolving is up in price. The power that

away above them, and every dollar of expense
means just that amount of money right out of our

Kicked tsIrnsssf 70 Freedom.

Prisoners of war have had many
thrilling adventures In their attempts
to escape across the German frontier.
but II would be hard to find a more re-
markable story than the following. told
In a Dutch paper: Four British es-
capped prisoners of war. one French
man and seven Russians arrived at
oldenxaai, besides two German desert
ers. An amusing incident took place
In the case OF one Of the Russians.
He was seized by the German sentry
when In the act Of crossing the from.
tier, and In the course Of the ensuing
struggle threw himself on the ground.
He fell half way on Dutch and half
way on German territory. The Dutch
sentry came to his rescue and tried to
pull him across by the shoulders. The
German pulled at the other end, When
the Russian found that the Dutchnan
was helping him he started kicking
with all his might. with tho happy re-
suit that he was safely pulled onto
Dutch territory.

language 30 suggestive Of toothsorne,

You can't spell punkin pie with an

There are other kinds, of course
apple, peach, cherry, squash, BURBERRY,

probably has its value In the world.

One never can account for different

that will approach "punkin," the
