BEGINNING TO TAKE ROOT

THE big idea of cement highway right
through the State of Utah from north to
south-from Logan to st. Georges beginning
to take root in the minds Of the people who look
well ahead and believe in building for the fu-
ture. BY years of experiment and careful obser.
walton it has been ascertained that concrete high
ways are the most economical to build in the long
run. They cost considerable in the beginning but
they pay for themselves many times over before
they worn out in the saving of motive power,
tires, wear and tear on engines and machinery.
wagons and other vehicles. If we cannot reach
the cement highway all at once it may be neces-
sary to do surfacng temporarily in certain local.
ties until the concrete road can be finarcc'i But
in general surfacing with gravel and other sub
stances without the use of cement is only make
shift and is considered poor economy. The south
part of the state is willing and ready to 20 its
limit for the procuring of good cement highway
The northern counties and the state are already
laying miles of concrete road, and it will be only a
matter of time until the more populous counties
will be connected with strip of concrete road.
Some of the middle counties of the state need
waking up to the Importance and pract'cability Of
this matter and we will have the good road worl.
well under way.
Everybody boost for the great concrete high
way through the state.

LET HIM LIVE
I,und, Utah.

AS long as flowers their Der iume give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears,
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the sailed brine OF Scotchman's curse
| would let him live on dinner each day,
Served from silver on golden tray
Served with things both dainty and sweet
Served with everything but things to eat
And I'd make him bed OF silken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and flets of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to it's comfort he would yield,
1t should stink with rot of the battlefield
And blood and bones and brains or men
Should caver him. smother nina and then
His pillows should cling with the rotten cloy--
Cloy, from the grave of a soldier boy.
And while Gods stars their vigils keep,
And while the waves the white sands sweep
He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through all the years
There should be an art them in his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of sun,
Moaning, and moaning, and moaning wild
A ravaged French girls little child!
And would build him castle by the sea,
As lovely castle as could be;
Then I'd show him ship from the sea,
As fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the svcred sands.
Than hot and hellish molten shell,
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch on the wave-swept shore
Our Lusania would rise no more
In No Mans Land" where the Irish Tell.
I'd start the Kaiser private hell,
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound Id pour ground glass;
Id march him out where the brave boys died
Out past the lads they cruched.
One thing more he should do while he had brcatl
In the fearful gloom of his living death:
I'd make him sing in a stirring manner,
The wonderful words OF the Star Spangc,
Banner"

A PRAYER FOR MEMORIAL DAY

We meet together to implore Thee,
! oh God of love, do hear prayers today
Before Thee we come on Bonded knee
And ask Thy Spirit sweet with us to stay
IT'S for Allied Armies that we love-
That we have met to pray oh noble Band
Who struggle, bleed and die that freedom live
In that far torn, blood soaked land
Hear us oh God of all hear us today.
When shall this roar of mighty battle cease;
When shall these heavy clouds roll away
And we shall see the dawn Of lasting peace?
When shall our boys in blue and khaki brown
Whove torn million heart strings with their leave
Who have not lain their noble bodies down
BE given back to to calm our grief
When shall the noble mothers of these men
Who gave their pride their all in freedoms name
And said: "Go forth, my boy for Freedoms sake
Our hearts, love, Your lives lay at the stake -
When shall their aching hearts be healed again
When shall tho iungry souls find sweet relief?
Not till the foe Liberty is crushed
And earth and sea made realm of peace
So God of love, we ask Thee in His name
Who hung on Cavary's Cross that man might live
To accpet from our hearts these prayers sincere
And to Thee all our praise and honor give
oh God, who is the friend of righteousness,
BE with our boys and noble allies brave
And every effort for our noble cause do bless
And halow with Thy love each hero's grave
Oh Mothers, Sisters, Sweethears, dry those tears.
God will be with Allied Troops tonight
And with his mighty arm will give them strength,
Till righteouness shall triumph over might
But. if they give their lives in freedoms cause,
And to our aching hearts they come more,
Well know they helped make better, broader laws
When peace shall be proclaimed from shore to
shore.
esSs
Oh, Nations far, lift up your stricken heads,
shining CLEAN breaks through the darkened way
We know behind nights blacklist, lowest cloud
There beams the brighter, shining light of day.
When for this righteous you've given your ALL
Your men, your means, your heart, your very best,
A tender consolation comforts you
And, God, who knoweth all will do the rest

DO You Enjoy Life?

A man in good physical condition
is almost certain to enjoy life, while
the bilious and dyspeptic are despond-
ent, do not enjoy their meals and feel
miserable good share of the time.
This ill feeling is nearly always un-
necessary. A few doses of Chamber
lain's Tablets to tone up the stomach,
improve the digestion and tone up the
bowels is all that is needed. Try IL.

BLACKHEAD HARD TO CHECK

Blackhead Is one OF the commoncst
and at the same time one of the most
serious diseases of turkeys. II Is hard
to control and possibly is more the
cause Of the lesser number of turkeys
than any other one thing. Much scien-
tifc investigation has been conducted
along this line but 50 far no real cure
has been secured.

WHY SUPPRESS THE FACTS?

WYE fail to understand the attitude of President
w Wilson in regard to the investigation of the
War expenditures, proposed by Congress. For
some reason the President is Numerically and I'M
qualifdely opposed to any investigation of the
War Department and its methods. 1t would seem
that the President is afraid facts might be dis |
closed which would have tendency to discourage
investments and contributions for the financing of
the war; We can think of no other logical reason |
If everything is regular up and above board, and
honestly administered there is no reason to fear
investigation. And if, on the other hand, there
has been wholesale graft and profteering as some
of the senators and representatives in Congress
have openly charged, it is better that the facts be
known and measures adopted to prevent repeti-
ton, than to conceal the facts from the people
Suppression of the facts is an un-American
course, and in direct opposition to our teaching
and training of the past. 1t is the method en-
rloyed in the German autocracy, and one of the
things that Americans are fighting to overthrow
the idea of keeping the common people in ig-
norance Of the facts. We believe that it Is the
duty of Congress to demand full investigation
and if it is found that there has been misappropr
alton, waste and extravaganza as charged, the
guilty persons should be brought to justice. SEN
ator King of this state charged that there were
people implicated in the aerial program of the
United States who deserved to be shot. If our
Senator knew what he was talking about as we
suspect he did, then let's have the facts and
shoot" the rogues who deserve it, In private
life people guilty of screening culprts are guilty
of an offense We see no reason why our chief
executive should be so strongly opposed to an in
vestigaton. Everybody who reads the papers and
makes any pretense at keeping in touch with pa.
tonal affairs knows that we have not been getting
what we should have done for the large sums en-
pended. We have right to know why.

RELAXES MEAT
RULEFOR j. 6.
Eat Beef and Pork ANY Day
Except Tuesday, Says
Hoover; Cut Bread.

Relaxation OF the restrictions on
meat consumption and a more drastic
regulation restricting the use Of
breadstuffs are announced in bull
letin received Wednesday by district
food administrator C. n. Bassett. In
crease in the national supply Of meat.
and more urgent calls by the allies
for breadstuffs, are the reasons for
the new ruling.
Shortage in Argentine flour shipped
tn Europe" said administrator Hoo
ver's statement, has increased the
burden thrown on the United States,
and to meet this demand, we must
still further curtail our consumption
Of bread. Consumption Of breadstuffS
is intimately associated with the con-
sumption Of meat, and to conserve our
flour and other breadstuffs we must
ask the people to supply their bread
needs as much as possible by increas-
ing their meet ration.
Gan Supply Meat
Transportation shortage prior to
government control. bad weather in
January and February, combined with
a large percentage Of immature corn
in last years crop, and the necessity
Of feeding II rapidly to prevent its
decay, has resulted in giving US at
this time a supply Of fattened animals
much larger than normal, SO that we
can supply our allies with all the
meat which transportation facilities
render possible, and at the same time
increase our own consumption
For these reasons the food admin
istration relaxes the rule calling for
porkless Saturday. and now asks the
people to refrain from the use OF beef
and pork only on one day in the
week, Tuesday"
Rule on Importing Corn.
State food administrator E A
Peden. in a communication to Mr.. Bas-
sett, stated that Texas millers and
dealers in applying to the state adj
ministration for permits to ship corn
into the state must give full particu-
lars as to the quantity Of corn re-
quired, the quantity in stock, the
quantity already ordered and en- route
and the names of the firms from
whom they have already purchased,
or desire to purchase. Corn and its
products will not be shipped into
Texas to Texas dealers without a per-
nit signed by state food administrator
