Linen Shower to Be Given by
 Local Chapter

The Red Cross Commission in France has cabed that the hospitals are in urgent need of bath towels. hand towels. sheets. handkerchiefs. and napkins.
 All chapters in the United States are being called on to provide their share of these articles during the week of September 30th
 The local chapter will hold a linen shower during the week and you are asked to contribute one article or a set of articles of household linen. Every article will be put to real use in hospitals whose equipment and facilities are being sorely tried The articles wanted should be new or substantially new and should be of strong rather than fine texture. The laundering facilities abroad are poor and this, together with the hard and constant usage to which the articles will be subjected. make it clear that the Red Cross would not be justified in using much needed shipping space to send over articles that would last only short time

AUTOS USED TO SMUCCLEB0OZE
 INTODRY STATE

SALT LAKE CITY. Sept 2S-Au tomobiles used in the smuggling of liquor into Utah are liable to confis- cation. in the opinion of Attorney General Dan E. Shields of Utah, and the attorney-general is also of the opinion that when this becomes known that this illegal practice will be cur tailed greatly, for it will be much harder to lose a costly automobile than to submit to a fine by the sheriff of this county.
 Two automobiles have been seized by the sheriff of this county together with their cargo of liquor and the sheriff intends to make every attempt to retain possession of the machines.
 Attorney-General Shields says: "1 believe we are justified in holding all cars found carrying contraband liquor into the state The prohibi- tion law expressly states that not only the liquor, but the receptacles thereof, are subject to confiscation. At any rate l have instructed the sheriff to hold all cars smuggling

SYRUP BE MADE INSTEAD WINE
 FROM GRAPES

BERKELEY. Cal. Sept 2S-That 25O.0O0 tons of wine and table grapes now worth $4.OOOOOO whose market will be cut off by war prohibition in 1919, if made into syrup would be equivalent to 10000 tons of sugar of present value of about SS.000.0O0, is the leading statement of bulletin on grape syrup issued by the Agricul- tural college of the University of California
 It is further stated that investiga- tions have resulted in devising meth ods by which an excellent table and cooking. and even a fruit canning syrup may be made from these grapes with very slight changes in the pres ent equipment of the wineries and also proposed that by the cooperation of grapegrowers. wineries. sugar fac tories and Canneries in the state, the wineries purchase the grapes during the vintage of 1919, extract and store 50.O00.0O0 gallons of juice, the larger sugar factories receive this juice dur ing spring and summer, concentrate 1t, and ship the syrup to the canneries for utilization in 1920. By using the major part of this syrup in the pro- portion of 25 per cent. to 50 per cent with sugar in most of their canning and entirely with some fruits, the quality of their product would be in no way lowered.
 grape-syrup the bulletin has the fol lowing to say: Tt would doubtless be impossible to market this large quantity of a new product so quickly without some assistance or encour agement from the government. A regulation allowing the free purchase of grape syrup while limiting the pur chase of cane syrup or sugar and permitting the purchase of sugar for canning only when accompanied by certain proportion of grape syrup would dispose of the whole crop. As grape syrup. made by the process described in the bulletin, has been shown to be wholesome and attrac- tive, such a regulation would work no hardship to consumer or manufactur CT and would result in saving a large quantity of food material. It would also safeguard the livelihood of hun dreds of families"

Twenty yeors ago Fayette. county far
mers felt that they could not grow corn
to lprofit, but that they must grow
cotton ~d buy their corn and other
grains. Then came the corn clubs which
taught boys that they could grow corn
profitably and thru them the fathers
learned that it was easy enough to raise
their own supply of corn and today
many Fayette county farmer raises
his own feed corn and some to sell.
More recently the County Demonstra.
ton Agent has taken up the duties of
pig club work and the recent club show
in this city gives an idea of its splendid
results. There are today in this county
many small herds of registered hogs
and the fever is spreading and the num-
Der israpidly multiplying. The day has
about come when non registered sires
are not allowed in use and registered
brood sows are in much,demand. 1t would
have been impossible three years ago
to have held such show of registered
animals in this county as was that re-
Gently held here, for the registered hogs
were not in the county. The increase
in interest is in evidence on every hand
and the good to the county will run into
many thousands in her increase in the
number Of registered hogs grown each
year.

The resignation last week of William
G. .McAdoo from President Wilson's
cabinet and as Director of Railroads
has precipitated discussion as to the
future Of the railroads aud their man
agement and control. Steps during the
Government control have pointed to an
intention on the part of many in gov
ernmentsl circles to make the control
OF the roads permanent. even after the
close Of the war, but indications are
that the public is by no means favora-
bic to such step. Under private con-
troll the roads paid their own expenses
and a reasonable di fidend.on the money
invested in them, but under Federal
control they have been operated In
such a manner as to make clear loss
of hundreds of millions of dollars to. the
Government, and this in the face. of the
fact that freight and passenger rates
have been increased % per cent
in all cases and double that amount in
dozens Of special cases. And with all
this increase the movement of freight
has been unprscedently slow every
where. A shipment of goods from. Mem
phis, forty miles away. can NOT benow
ordered and received in less than week
or there about. The Federal control
was. perhaps. advisable during war
times. but there can be 90 reasonable
excuse for cOntiuueing it after the war
has passed. The first step taken by
the directors Of railroads. ttlegraphs,
and express concerns under Govern
ment control was increasing enormously

best paid men under the sun when

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food AdministrA-
ton, Provide Seven Extra LoaVes
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pouUi
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the U.
3. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-.
BILE minimum. Country grain thresA-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendation for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip.
ment and frequently bad order thresh.
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulslon were com
paratively rare. The Food Admins.
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign 10 pa

In his six principles for the recon
struction period which he announced at
a meeting a few days ago Samuel
Gompers declared union labor to favor
an eight-hour day as the maximum to
be expected of their members. There
are many more farmers in America than
union labor men, and we would just like
TO know how many of them can keep up
their farms and make profitable crops
on an eight-hour day schedule. The
average farmer and the average bust
ness man of the country work nearer
twice eight hours out of "a and get less
