Russia win Not Quit.

ANeSSA1 w AZ ANSt SdAts
There has been a tendency in
this country to take Premier Ker-
ensky's somewhat doleful obser
vations, given out in the form Of an
interview. too seriously. Mr.. Keren
sky. it is generally believed, is suf.
ferine from an incurable malady.
No doubt he hes moments of de.
preston. Who. when contemplate
ing the mess that has been made OF
matters in Russia. would not feel
discouraged at timesS
But II is announced fsom Wash
ineton with great positiveness that
Russia will not make a separate
peace; that she is not out Of the war,
and that steps will be taken during
the winter to see that the 100000
or more enemy troops now on her
borders are not only compelled to
stay there. but that they must be
largely supplemented next spring to
hold Russia in check.
> The United States Government
has shown its faith in Russia, de.
spite the Kerensky lamentation, by
granting her an additional credit
and allotting more ships to carry
supplies to her Kerensky himself
has issued a second interview, deny
ing the alarming inferences drawn
from the first.
There are certainly enough
soldiers in Russia who want to fight.
and who know how to fight. to save
the situation. II not. soldiers and
leaders from the outside should be
sent in. With the fate Of the entire
Allied cause, which is the fate of
civilization and tree government for
a hundred years to come, hanging
in the balance. the world cannot
afford to have German autocracy
triumph through the weakness and
inefficiency of the new Russian
Government.
To say that Russia is. exhausted,
or that she has borne more than
her share of the burden. is untrue.
She is not as exhausted. when rela
tive man power and resources are
considered, as either Germany or
Austria. and she has not had to
bear anything like the burden that
France has borne.
Russia is disoreanized and at the
mercy of irresponsible agitators.
but unless there is streak Of yell
low in her makeup. she is not
beaten Her Cossacks, at least, can
fight, and il necessary. the other
Allies should place men in control
VIII o will see that Russia's place in
the firing line is maintained.

Conserve Bread and Meat.

Conserve Bread and Meat.
Every citizen now realizes that
the two things in our food supply
that must be conserved are bread
and meat. This can be effectively
done not only in their economical
use but also in using proper care to
protect and guard the supply.
II is needless to say that now is
the time Of all time when live
stock should be carefully protected
from disease. A loss Of hogs or
other live stock Of the meat pro-
ducing classes is not only a loss to
the over but is a direct decrease in
the food supply which should have
such careful guarding at the pres
ent time.
A loss of food grains from i'm
proper care is another instance of
loss. IN the food supply. All food
grain should be watched very care
fully to see that il is remaining in
proper condition. Food grains
should not be ihreshed and stored
until they are in proper condition
to store safely.
10 many cases during the past
few months there have been severe
losses of meat producing animals
and food grains by fire AS part
of our program Of economy greater
precaution than ever before should
be taken to prevent fires. Only 10
this way can the losses OF bread and
meat to the public be prevented
Losses of the classes mentioned
above are not such in. all cases
that even the owner can protect
himself by insurance. and in no
case will insurance protect the pub
lie. just now the public is interest.
ed in the bread and meat itself and
not III its value. While every one
of our citizens must be protected
against loss by any means availa-
BILE TO him, yet in addition to that ii
is his patriotic duty just now to
protect the bread and meat sup
ply of the nation by preventing its
destruction if possible, because any
food grains or meat animals that
are destroyed are entirely lost TO
the public and can not be restored.
Guard the grain and live stock with
greater care than is ordinarily used
because the risk is now somewhat
greater than ordinary and it is a
patriotic duty just now to do so.

TIME TO GET BUSY.

AS has been remarked before in
this column, Saratoga needs a
Commercial club. On every side
there is work for such an organiZa-
tion-work that never will and
never can be done by individuals.
Also, if we may believe half we
hear, this town should have a Good
Roads club. The more organiza-
tions of that nature, working for
the public and community good
the better for the town and for all
of us, but we are in daily need of
a local commercial organization.
If there we're anything in par
ticular to be gained by delay, we
might allow the subject to rest,
but we are unconvinced on that
point. To the ordinary observer
it would appear that now is the
time to get busy-the n time of
the year, when a Commercial or
ganization may find much to do
in the way of encouraging CON-
munity improvement and lending
assistance to all plans of that ma
ture, as well as taking an active
part in ad-building and other
public improvements.
In conversation with a number
of people this subject has been in
troduced and various people have
been heard to say, eyes, a live
Commercial club, or Development
club, or Community club would be
a good thing to have in Saratoga"
or words to that effect, but when
urged to get in the game and take
a hand in the organization of such
a body, and give of their time and
labor in making it a live" ogani-
cation, they generally have some
thing to say about waiting for a
more favorable time, or a break in
the weather, or desire to put it

road- with ever in Lspland, these
days, and this on the Lincoln
highway, and on our own road to
the county seat! 1t reminds one
of the story of the old woman who
tried to sweep back the ocean
with a broom.
The writer uses this road per-
haps twice or three times a year,
but it is the most travelled road in
our county. And if he hears of
any more pick and shovel work on
it this year he will start a sub
scription to buy a nice, weak pen
itentiary broom, or several of
them, as a gift from our Good
Roads clubs to the man who is re-
sponsible for it.
For we are going to have some
live Good Roads clubs in Carbon
county this year.

INES HAVE

A friend recently exhibited to
US a menu printed in Boston in
1912, which had been handed
down with other mementoes in his
family, and which showed some in
~teresting contrasts with the prices
now in vogue.
According to this hotel menu
and schedule, in 1912 one could
get at the then best restaurant in
Boston, a porterhouse steak for
373 cents, tenderloin for % cents,
sirloin for 20 cents, or a rump
steak for Is cents, all with fried
potatoes and fixings galore. Other
eatabIes were in proportion, only
more so.
In the barber shop, shaving was
8 cents, hair-cutting 10 cents, and
shampooing 20 cents. Baths cost
Is cents, a nights lodging was but
20 cents. That was but Is years ago.
Times and prices have changed.
Also wages aren't what they used
to be, At that time a laborer re-
ceived 80 or 80 cents a day. Seven
dollars a week was a high salary
for a clerk III a store, and a man
with an income of $1,000 a year
was considered rich.
All this WAS in the good old days
of 1912, and if a prophet had then
stood up in the market place and
prophesied 5.cent potatoes, l5-c0nt
onions, and 5-cents a pound ruta.

My friend, have you heard of the town
of Yawn,
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Wait-a. while flower

Where the Sometime-or.o other scents
the air,
And the soft Go.easys grow?
1t lies in the valley of What's-the-us
In the Province of Let er-slide;
That tired feeling is native there,
It's the home of the ~listless l-don't-care,
Where the Put it-offs abide.
The Put.it-offs smile when asked to work
And say they will do it tomorrow;
And so they delay from day unto day,
Till death cycles up and takes them
away,
And their families starve or beg or

Heavy Machinery Needed.
(Communication)

1t is only about ten years since
Butch" Cassidy, with his pick
and shovel, was the best road
worker we had in this end of Car
bon county. Once in a while our
county dads would send someone
out with a road pillow and a slip
scraper to look at the road and
fuss around a little and draw big
pay, but no one even owned a
fresno and as for a ditcher, such
as twenty or thirty of our ranch
men now own, or a small horse
drawn road-grader, such as the
county owns at present-they were
still in the dim future. We got
along without them and a good
many of us remember that Butch,
with his pick and shovel, was the
best road worker we had.
Then a few ranchmen got fres-
no scrapers, which would move
three or four times as much dirt
as a slip scraper, and without
breaking the backs of the work
ers, Ms the slips did. "Chasing
the hog" is what they used to call
working with slips or a grade.
Then some ranchmen in Elk
Hollow, on the road to Brush
creek, got a light grader, and about
the first real road work we had
WAS done with it. We believe we
owe to Ryans and Condict the
first real road work in the county.
They could not have done it with
a pick and shovel for the simple
reason that it would have taken a
small army of men and all the
road fund of the county to move
as much dirt as two men and a
team did with their grader. 1t
could not have been done with a
slip or a fresno for the same rea-
son. The light horse-drawn grad
er will move three to ten times as
much dirt in road building as a
fresno and at about the same small
fraction of the cost. Except on
steep grades or in filing up to a
bridge, a fresno is as out of date
on road work these days as Butch's
pick and shovel would be.
What a great many of us do not
realize-simply because we have
never seen it's that a heavy road
grader, drawn by a powerful trac-
ton engine, is about as far ahead
of Il small horse-drawn grader as
the latter is ahead of the old slip
scraper. That is how, during the
past two years, they have been
able to build fine roads around
Cheyenne by the hundreds of
miles, and with but half the money
in the road fund that we have in
this county. That is how they
come to have fine roads by the
thousands of miles in Missouri
and Arkansas, and even in Lap
land. They have a right to be
proud of their roads in those
states, and they are proud of
them. 1t would be a good thing
for some of Jul people to hear
what they say about our roads
mere tracks-hog wallows where
there is clay, whenever it rains.
Are we proud of them? We guess
nit! People who come from the
grand old state of Missouri, where
they have good roads and are
proud of them, talk about our
Lincoln Highway, near Rawlins,
in a way that would scald the hide
off a brass monkey, and they are
right about it.
Last fall as the writer was driv-
ing over this road (begging your
pardon folks, it isn't a road), be
saw men at work on it with picks
and shoyels and a slip scraper.
They don't use such tools to build
