SUGAR FOR CANNING

I is not the purpose or intention of the Food
Administration to in any way curtail the can
ming and conservation of fruits by the restrictions
placed on the sale of sugar, and ruling has been
made that during the fruit preserving season
sack of one hundred pounds Of sugar may be pur-
chased by each family providing an affidavit is
signed that it is to be used for the preservation
of food only. This is in addition to the 10 and %
pound bags allowed for ordinary table use under
former ruling. But in order that the require
ments of our soldiers and allies may be in some
measure provided for, it is imperative that the
strictest economy be practiced in the use of sugar
at home. This is, after all, largely matter for
conscientious observance on the part of the indi-
vduals as there so many ways of lodging and
avoiding the restrictions, where there are num-
Der of dealers in town section of country but
everyone should accept the regulations as an ex-
preston of their patriotic duty and try to observe
them just as strictly as if there complete

pean countries.

GERMANY'S POWER WANING

T, ROM the degree of success attained by Ger
many in her recent drives, it is apparent that
her powers are waning, in proportion to that of
her enemies the allies. The terrible toll of life
which her tremendous offensives since March Fl
have cost her. is beginning to have its effect She
is no longer apparently, able to push back the
mics of the allies and make spectacular gains of
ground on the battle fronts, even at the sacrifice
of many divisions of her troops. She has to very
great extent consumed the large numbers of men
she was able to draw from the Russian frontier,
and elsewhere, and there is not nearly the dis
paragy in numbers in her favor that existed at
the beginning of this year. And with America
sending over quarter of million troops each
month, and Great Britain combing her posses
sons for additional soldiers Germany and Austria
who are already near their limit have passed it,
will find it impossible to keep pace The pendulum
has swung as far as it go in the offensive di-
rection, and when it turns and the reaction sets
in, things will happen fast. There are any num-
Der of small nations in the world, and particularly
in the Eastern hemisphere, who are hoping and
praying that Germany will not win, but are pre-
vented by fear of her from taking sides against
her. When once it becomes apparent that she is
waning, these countries probably including Rus
STA, will join forces with the allies and help to fin
ish her off. Of course every little while she will
make overtures for peace, on terms favorable to
herself, and with view Of at least maintaining
her present form of government. Any peace terms
which admit OF the reopening of the war a few
years hence should be considered untenable
In both Germany and Austria difficulty is being
found in controlling their internal affairs, and a
revolution may be precipitated at any time
All together, the situation appears most hope
full for the allies but the way to bring the war to
an early end is to continue to put every ounce of
force and energy possible into it. We are predict
ing that the war will end this year, but we do not
wish this to encourage solitary individual to
relax his or her efforts in the direction of winning
the war and providing for it's contingencies.

NO LEGAL
NEWSPAPERS
Newspapers in Utah Have No
Standing in the Eyes of
The Law.
Legal Advertising, Also. Has No Pro-
lection From Fraudulent
Publications.

Before the advent of newspapers,
those who wanted to give public no.
tice on any matter posted the notices
on the gates of the city, or in front
of the church or other public build
ings. Here were posted many historic
documents in the early days.
AS newspapers came into existence
it was discovered that greater pub
licity could be obtained by printing
the notices in them At the time of
the Civil War most of the advertis-
ing consisted of public notices, auc-
ton sales of slaves and runaways,
and the time of arrival and departure
of trains and steamers.
In many states there are strict laws
guarding the publication of official mo-
tees that are for the benefit of the
public at large, and also laws COM
pelling the publication of matters that
the general public may be interested
in. these states the newspapers must
be of certain character, and officially
designated as illegal papers" before
same, stating that the paper was a
legal paper, and giving the amount
charged for publication, made the pub
LEGATION of notice legal, and if not
so done, the publication of the notice
was illegal.
Strange to say, there is no such law
in Utah. There is no such thing as a
legal newspaper in the whole state
Anybody can get up a handful, give
it name, send it through the mails,
or not, print "legal(? y notices." charge
any old price, and get away with it.
The time has come when the legiti-
mate papers of the state should have
the same protection as other states
give the public and real newspapers
and the legislature should pass law
defining legal papers, and make le-
gitimate rate for legal advertising
and surrounding it with all the pre-.
cautions necessary.

THE DEATH OF
y. A. WEBSTER

ID. A. Webster, who has been pres
ident and manager of the Beaver
County Publishing company since it's
organization, passed away in Pomo-
ma, Cal, last Monday after brief i'll
ness. Mr.. Webster came to Milford
three years ago, bought land on the
project, and also located on home
stead, where he built a nice home
and where he lived until last fall.
In January, 1917, he took the man
agement of the Beaver County News,
and in April of the same year he
purchased the Beaver Press.
Later when the Beaver County
Publishing company was organized,
he became its president and mana
ger, retaining the active control Of
the Milford paper. In March of
this year he entered the Milford post
office as acting postmaster.
Mr. Webster's health began to fail
about month ago, and after short
stay in a hospital in Salt Lake City,
| it was deemed best to take him to his
old home in Santa Paula, California,
| to see if the lower altitude would not
| be beneficial Accordingly, on the
Goth of May, in the company of his
wife and Mayor w. F. Cottrell, who
/ kindly volunteered to accompany him,
they started, but his condition rapidly
became worse and he was taken from
the train at Ramona, where he was
taken to the home of friends. Here he
passed away on June 3.
David A. Webster was born in Osce-
ola, Iowa, June 26, 1870. He lived FOR
a number Of years in Kansas, and in
1890 went to Santa Paula, Cal. Later
he was editor of the Santa Paula
Chronicle, and at one time for a few
years was one of the editors of the
Ventura Free Press, after which he
was one of the members of the South
west Printers Supply company in
Los Angeles for about three years. He
again returned to Santa Paula as
editor Of the Cronicle, where he re-
NAMED until he came to Milford. He
has many friends in southern Cali
fornia.
ID. a. Webster was married to Bar
bara Il. Miller on June 4, 1913
in passing away he leaves widow
two grown sons, Lyall and Willard
and little daughter, Barbara Aug

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

improve the digestion and tone up tho
bowels is all that is needed. Try it.
