A DRY CHRISTMAS

WYE have frequently heard the remark during
w the holidays, pretty dry Christmas" or
did you ever see such dry Christmas?" AS to
whether the remark had reference to the climatic
condition, whether it had reference to lack of
amusement or whether the absence of spurious
drinks was meant, has been largely matter of
conjecture, with the personality of the speaker
FURNISHING the only index.
However, no matter which phase the speaker
has had in mind, we have been able to agree with
him or her perfectly. At least so far as our per
sonal experiences are concerned, although with
some of those who have been frequenting the race
course recently there does not appear to have been
and serious derth of moistures for the inners.
There appears to have been derth of social
parties and functions of every kind, and until the
married peoples ball last night, there was little
or nothing of a social nature for benedicts. How
ever now that the ice is broken, we trust that
the social whirl pool may be kept agtated suflic-
iently to prevent it from freezing up again.
AS to the climatic conditions we certainly must
admit that during the thirty days that we have
resided in Cedar City we have seen nothing to
compare. For few days past the sky has APP
peared cloudy and threatening, but nothing has
come.of it, 1t doesn't really seem like Christmas,
with the ground dry and dust and the weather so
warm and balmy.

THERE'S A GOOD SERMON IN THIS

A woman made this remark: 81 see the news
papers and magazines full of suggestions
where and how women may save for the war and
see that most of my friends have signed the
conservation pledge. Also | take note that the
average woman is figuring ways and means of saw
ing. But haven't yet seen pledge paper circu-
lated or signed where men have agreed to abandon
tobacco in order to save for the war have seen
appeals to men who use tobacco to double their
expenditures and when they are buying for them
selves buy the same quantity for soldiers. And it
appears that they do it, by the newspaper reports
of barrels filled by those purchases"
She went on: 81 haven't been in any town of
any size for years that hasn't half dozen more
cigar and tobacco stores The druggists all sell
cigars. Some of the barber shops sell them am
informed. All of the restaurants and hotels sell
them. | heard man complaining the other day
that the price of cigars had gone up, but didn't
hear him say anything about cutting down on his
daily allotment
Then she shifted and led with her left: "Sup-
pose that $50, 100000 men smoke half dollars
worth of cigars and tobacco day 1t would take
about four days abstinence to raise that $35 000-
600 for the Y. M. C. A., wouldn't it? A years eX.
pendture would mighty near pay off the first Lib
erty Loan wouldn't it ? And what do you men get
out of it, anyway--sour stomachs ugly morning
dispositions and an offensive personal stencil"
"Why don't you lords of creation do something
yourselves? Why don't you have cigarless and
tobaccoless days? While suggesting so much to
us women why don't you organize week of no
tobacco, no down town lunches or treating and the
like of that, and turn your money saved over to
the Y. M. c. A.. the Belgians, the babies that are
starving while you burn up good money for moth
ing except arterial sceross?'

HOW YOU CAN HELP US

A MERCHANT of Cedar City with whom we
were in conversation the other dav remarked
that he could not trace any benefits from his adj
vertisng; that no one mentioned that they had
seen his advertisement in the local paper but that
a number spoke of having seen the articles they
were interested in displayed in the store windows
some referred to having "seen a neighbor with it"
and one or two had even spoken of seeing men
ton of his stock in farm paper, but that not one
had given any indication that he or she had seen
and read his advs in the local paper and therefore
he was in doubt whether it paid to advertise or not
Now, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind
as to hundreds of readers having read the mer-
chants advs and having made purchases as a
direct result, but don't you see that because you
failed to mention this fact we have received no
credit from the merchant for your business and
consequently he is in doubt as to whether he is
justified in spending money for advertising, or
not.
The newspaper is dependent upon its advertis-
ing space sold, more than anything else for a liy-
ing, and by mentioning the fact to merchants oc-
that you saw their advertisement in
The Record you can do us an immense amount of
good, make the merchant feel better satisfied, and
withal do yourself no harm. Try it.

AS your stamps begin to accumu-

Because they are plentiful potatoes
are wasted, by pealing before cook
ing. Instead of peeling, drop them in
a vessel of rapidly boiling water, af-
ter they have been washed, and al
low them to remain for ten minutes.
Remove and strip the thin skin, as
when potatoes are peeled after thor
ough cooking by boiling. The pota-
toes will still be practically raw and
can be handled like raw peeled pota-
toes in preparing any dish, as seal
loped, French or German fried po-
tatoes. They can also be baked and
the thin golden brown crust which
remains may be eaten.

Farmers Clearing More Land

Dr. f. E. Fry is the authority for
the statement that this year the
ranchers of Boundary county have
at least twenty per cent more land
under cultivation than last year. He
says that in going about the county
to make his professional calls he
notes that nearly every farmer is
making a special effort to clear up
new land and that every acre of land
which may be used is being put into
crops. In DR.. Fry's opinion the sea-
son of 1917 will be a banner one in
Boundary county and the success of
the season will tend to encourage
further clearing and cultivation in
future years.
