Nations Allied in War

STAGING OF EPISODES

to represent, but there will be a real
meaning to the actions of the perform
ers.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The American people are once more
up against the necessity OF backing our
bows in the trenches. All their sacrifice
and risk Of life and limb will 60 for moth
inc. if we are not willing to provide them
the equipment Courage and skill amount
tt nothing unless backed up by the most
modern and extravagently costly outfit.
War is terribly expensive proposition.
Unless we are willing to meet its bills
generously, we must lie down and let
stronger nations rule over us.
The more we spend on equipment, the
fewer our losses of neil will be. Unless
we are willing to stand staggering losses
among our boys, we must pour out the
money without stint.
The man whose country, whose home,
whose democratic institutions are being
protected by our young men, cuts very
poor figure in the community unless he is
willing to pay the cost Of protection.
When man offers his life to protect
you, if you won't pay for his gun and his
keep, you are pretty poor sort Of a citi-
zen.
AS the size of the army increases, the
bill for equipment grows. Therefore the
government is asking for about one third
more money than was raised on the last
loan. It is an enormous sum, but really
only small fraction of our wealth. It
can be raised if we all take hold of it with
a willingness to do our fair share.
People cannot expect to 60 through
these times and live just as usual If we
can't raise money for bonds any other
way, we must cut down our expenses
and 60 without things we are used to.
Only thus can we hold up our heads in
the community, or be regarded by our
neighbors as showing common decency.
Those who refuse to take hold and do
their fair share are slackers for whom
everyone must feel contempt.

BIG CROPS SPELL VICTORY

Even the fertile soil spread over the
broad acres of America has responded to
the appeal to "speed up" in connection
with the efforts of the armies of liberty
to insure to all the world the blessings Of
peace and democracy.
The crops thus lar garnered and those
yet to be harvested are Of the bumper
description. The latest estimates place
the yield Of the five major cereals
wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley-at
$3.50, DOC, 900 bushels. These figures have
been exceeded only three times in Amer.
lean farm history and about 16 per cent
larger than the average during the past
decadA 4 ''.aNxdln8
Most important Of all Is the immensity
and quality Of the wheat crop. Harvest
ers now are on the last lap Of the crop,
which IL estimated at approximately
DOC. 900 bushels, or only 100000. 900
bushels less than the bumper yield Of
1910. . NAia alat ;. .sM N
This not only insures plentiful sup
ply Of flour for home consumption and
the feeding Of American patriots on the
batt!efields Of France, but q goodly SUD-
ply Tor the allied countries.
AT $500 per bushel at initial markets,
the yield will mean approximately
$1,000, DOC. 900 for the growers. It Is no
wonder, then, that the favorite song Of
the American farmers today is I'm this
wheat-buy and buy" because with such
an income the farmers, more and more,
Will be buying automobiles and other
things now regarded just as essential to
the comfort and pleasure of rural dis
tricts as they are to the urbanites.
But above all, the Americas splendid
crops further assure victory for allied
arms and certain defeat for the nation
which instigated the great crime against
civilization Salt Lake Telegram.

THE STUDY OF FRENCH

! Great numbers Of our young men in
the service are now digging away on
books Of French grammar and converse
ton. It is an opportunity for them to &C
luire q vital branch Of education free.
Formerly it would have cost them great
deal Of money.

fees to get the chance to attend classes

is with great difficulty.
Now the young soldier will find real
instructor in French in the person few
cry peasant he meets, and in every poilu
with whom he swaps army gossip In the
trenches.
It is Of course not an easy thing to
learn the French language. The pro
nunciations include number Of sounds
distinctly unlike anything in our tongue.
These can be acquired by imitation by
anyone willing to take pains. The lang
mage has nearly as many irregularities
as English. The student who wishes to
learn it correctly must spend q good deal
OF time working over his irregular verbs
and idioms.
The greatest difficulty is the rapidity
with which the Frenchmen speak. A

uage here can read it with ease, yet they
would make out hardly word in a sem

BIG CITY TRADING

The idea used to prevail that you had
to 60 to the big stores in large cities to
get the best trading opportunities. But
while people were going to these cities
from smaller places, swell society people
Of New York and Chicago felt they had
to 60 to London and Paris. In those days
people thought there was some glory In
living in big city. isea "a
Today most people feel that these CEN
tiers are undesirable places to live in. The
great majority Of those residing there.
would move out to the suburbs and cOun-
try if they could. Smaller cities and coun-
try and suburban towns give more COM
fort, and are preferred particularly by
those of education and culture.
The great city has ceased to be the
magnet it used to be. Its stores do not
cater to any superior class Of custom.
The great majority Of the most 'intelli-
gent people live in small cities and coun-
try and suburban towns if they can. In
so far as they have public spirit, and they
usually do have it, they patronize the
stores of their own home towns.
AS consequence the stores in place
like Logan have greatly improved their
service over what it was twenty years
ago. They are getting the bulk Of the
best trade of their immediate district, by
keeping wide range of the most sub
stantial and useful goods.
So the glamor of the big city trade is
dying out. 1t began with the period of
hoop skirts. It was at its height along
the time when the girls wore big bangs
and balloon sleeves, and. the kids sang
whoa Emma" and "Silver Threads
Among the Gold" Some people still
cling to the same old delusion though, so
that the campaign Of education can't be
wholly given up.
