UTAH EXPERIMENT STATION
ISSUES BULLETIN FOR
FRUIT GROWERS.

The Utah Agricultural Experiment
Station has just issued Bulletin No.
161 on orchard heating by DR.. F. L..
West and Mr.. N. E. Edelrsen. These
men have spent several years study
ing this problem which they have con-
sidered from two angles, the posi-
bility Of protecting the urfit, and the
economic advantage or disadvantage
of protecting it.
The general conclusion reached is
that while in most cases it is possible
to protect the fruit, YET, at the prices
received for fruit in Utah during the
last few years, the cost of heating is,
in most cases, greater than the value
of the fruit saved. In other words
the selling price Of the fruit is so low
that the value of the fruit on the tree,
which the frost would destroy is usu-
ally less than the cost of heating to
save it. Present prices, however, will,
probably justify heating that would
not be profitable in normal years.
This publication is being distrib-
uted free of charge by the Utah Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Logan,
Utah, to all who desire it. Every
fruit grower should have copy, as
it may mean the saving of fruit that
will add greatly to our food supply
at this critical time.

DEAN BENNION BRINGS
MESSAGE FROM THE EAST

Draft statistics disclose that of
those men recently drafted 10000 are
unable to read orders. In addition to
this the government is seriously hand
icapped by an insufficient number of
experts in many different lines. II
has, therefore, become a matter Of ma
tional concern that all the people shall
be educated to the point Of the elm
ination of illiteracy and that more
favorable opportunities be offered for
training experts in various fields"
This was the declaration of Dean
Milton Bennion, who retired Thurs
day from the East, where he has been
attending meetings of national educa-
tional societies and councils in Phila-
delphia and Washington.
According to Dean Bennion, the sub.
ject of common discussion in practi-
cally all of the meetings was the
Smith Hughes bill now before Con.
gress, which provides for appropria-
tions from the federal government to
the states to aid in giving instruction
in agriculture, home economics anC
the trades. Mr.. Prosser, head of tn,
National Vocational Board, remarked
that the government was going t.
maintain greater control than hereto
fore in education, and that in order
for the states to secure the money APP
propriated by the bill, high stan
dard of education must be maintained
The educators predict movement to
ward nationalized education.-U. O

HAVE YOUR BROODER
IN GOOD CONDITION
Don't Lose Your Young Chicks
Through Poor Care.

Is your back yard ready for the
dozen or more chickens you are going
20 raise this year, Mr.. Average Man
IL is time to begin thinking about how
YOU will care for your hens, thinks
professor Byron Alder Of the poultry
husbandry department of the Utah
Horticultural College. 1t Is especially
important. where young chicks are
bought. that your brooder is ready
to receive them, says Professor Alder.
The following suggestions will inter-
est the amateur who intends to raise
his share of the poultry products this
wear.
Buyers of chicks should have a
brooder such as is required for the
number of chicks bought ready,
warmed and regulated when the
chicks arrive.
If, for any reason, the brooder is
not ready, take the chicks from the
shipping box in warm room; feed
and return to the box; repeat at in
tervals of three hours until the brood
err is ready.
For the first few days give very
close attention to regulating the
brooder for the comfort of the chicks.
This is the most troublesome state
in the operation of brooder, and the
most critical period in the life of the
chick.
Emergency Bro0der.
Delay in delivery Of brooder
sometimes puts novice in guam
dry what to do with the chicks. A
brooder for temporary use may be
made as follows:
Take Dor, without cover, about
1S by "a inches square and 10 inches
high. In one side, next the bottom,
cut an opening three inches high by
ten inches long for the chicks to pass
through. Protect this opening with
a strip of cloth, tackled at the upper
edge, having perpendicular Sits from
the lower edge to within half an inch
Of the top to give the chicks passage.
This box, covered on top with a
piece of old blanket or quilt, may be
used without heat when the outside
temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit
or over. For lower temperature
jug or large bottle Of hot water
should be placed in the box, and re-
filled as often as necessary to keep
the chicks comfortable.

FOR THE MEN AT THE 'FRONT.'
John Oxenham -

Lord God of Hosts, whose mighty
hand
Dominion holds on sea and land,
N Peace and War Thy Will we see
Shaping the larger liberty.
Nations may rise and nations may
fall,
Thy Changeless Purpose rules them
all.
When Death flies swift on wave or
field,
Be Thou a sure defense and shield!
Console and succor those who fall,
And help and hearten each and all!
o, hear peoples prayers for those
Who fearless face their country's
foes.
For those who weak and broken lie,
In WEAKNESS and agony
Great Healer, to their beds Of pain
Come, touch, and make them whole
again!
o, hear a peoples prayers, and
bless
Thy servants in their hour Of stress.
For those to whom the call shall come
We pray Thy tender welcome home.
The toll, the bitterness all past,
We trust them to Thy love at last.
o, hear a peoples prayers, for all
Who nobly striving, nobly fall!
To every stricken heart and home,
o, Come! in tenderest pity, come!
To anxious souls who wait in fear,
Be thou most wonderfully near!
And hear a peoples prayers, for
faith
To quicken life and conquer death.

And in thine own good time, Lord,
send
Thy peace on earth till time shall
end.
The above beautiful hymn is being
sung in many of the Washington
churches, nearly all of which are do
ing special work for the soldiers who
spend their week-ends in the Capital
City. Entertainments, receptions, sup
pers and places for rest, or where a
soldier can meet a comrade or sit
down and read or write, are provided
by many patriotic congregations, and
many of the churches display service
flags showing that large numbers Of
their members are under the flag.
The hymn is sung to the tune "Melita"
and is a perfect prayer for all those
who are doing their part in active
service.

He had occupied this office only a
short time when the Sheriff of Harris
County died. Mr.. Anderson's friends
persuaded him to make the race for

he was easily elected He was honored
with reelection seven different times
and served the people in this import
ant office for fifteen consecutive years.
Four years ago Mr.. Anderson de-
clined reelection and retired to pri-

people of Houston and is large pro-
perty owner and foremost citizen of
this interesting and prosperous city.

Chewing Gum in W ar

OF all the varied means of mastica
tory stimulation which have been re-
sorted to by man in all chimes and ages
the great American gum seems least
harmful and most helpful. That there
is physiological demand for some
masticatory stimulant is shown by the
universally of the practice OF chewing.
Whether it be the tobacco of the Amer
can Indian, the betel nut of the East,
the cocoa leaves of South America, the
sllppery elm bark, the tamarack and
The spruce gum of the Down East
Yankee, the sweet gum of the Cult
states. the chicle of the MeXicans, which
in it's American adaptation becomes the
great American chewing gum, man has
always felt the necessity OF chewing
something more than his meals That
there is a practically useful side for
this habit is evidenced by the orders
placed by the ouartermaster Of the
United States army for 100000 pack
ages of this standard American dainty.

Australia Gives
French Mission
Hearty Welcome
Story of How tn eCer1nans
Looted Northern France
of 100000 900 in Prop
erty Arouses Indignation

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. Cor
rospondence of The Associated press).
When the French mission, headed
by General Paul Pau, which is now
touring Australia, returns home it will
urge the government to appoint trade
commissioners to improve the CONNER
cial relations between France ard Aus
tralia. Dr. Scgfried and NJ. Motto,
members OF the mission, have been
very actively engaged in Sydney and
Melbourne in comforting with CONNER
cial interests and governmental de-
gartmenss with this end in view. Adj
dressing the Commercial Travellers
Association in Sydney early in Octo-
Der, Mr. Motto said that the Germans
had robbed Northern France of $780,
100000 worth of wool and woollen
goods, machinery, leather, copper and
other things, and he added: "It will
take us some time to reorganize, and
we want support in order to enable us
to rebuild trade before Germany can
find her place again."
Subsequently. at a dinner given to
the mission by the Commonwealth gov
ornment in Parliament House, Mel
William A. Watt, said: "For four years
prior to the war Australia imported
from France a yearly average of $780,
100000 worth of goods; while we say
it with shame during the same period
our YEARLY average with Germany was
s32,000,O0O. Now we have learned that
it is better to do business with civil
lied and friendly people. If Australia
can by the efforts of the govern and
Parliament but France in the position
that Germany formerly was in the gov
eminent and Parliament will do so
with pleasure. We recognize that
France deserves consideration among
all the Allies"
Lille, Roubaix and Tourooing before
the war were the chief French manu-
featuring centres. German invasion
and occupation ruined them, plumber
and destruction being the enemy's pol
icy. The French government, however,
has been for some time preparing for
the reoccupation of the wool districts,
and it is expected that now the fac
tories will be speedily rebuilt, and the
large consignmcnts of American ma
chinery will be installed.

Nearing Predicts Wilson'S
Defeat at Peace Table


Speaking before an audience of 800
House yesterday Scott Nearing, So
cialist lecturer, declared that careful
analysis ofePresident Wilson's latest
message to Congress disclosed the fact
that the President had no real appre-
citation of the domestic reconstruction
problem and that he lacked the united
support of the country in his mission
to the peace conference.
DR.. Nearing said the Presidents
latest address was the most disap-
pointing fall his messages, ascribng
this to "his inaccessibility for the last
eighteen months" He said the Presi-
dent had been surrounded by "small
coterie of Southern politicians, who
had kept from him all knowledge of the
sentiment of the people and what was
taking place in the country. He said
the personnel of the mission was not
repre- sentative, that none of the mis-
sion had been elected by the American
people and that it represented neither
the "plutocratic classes" nor the people.
"lf the American people are repub-
lican, who is Mr. Wilson to stand in
their way" he asked. "If they want a
republican delegation, that's their bust
ness. 1t would have been better to
have Wilson go with four representa-
tive Republicans than with Democrats
who are not representative"
Nearing expressed the opinion that
President Wilson's influence at the
peace table would be negligible and in
significant. "If he goes to France un-
der the impression that the Allies have
accepted his fourteen principles" said
Nearing, "his entire argument will be
based on falacious premise, for only
recently Winston Churchill declared
that England was prepared to fight for
her rights on the sea. believe that
President Wilson is going up against a
Chinese Wall of diplomatic exclusion"

Y.M.C. A. Sells Meals
At Cost, Beds for
Franc to Soldiers
Seventy-six Men, Unable to
Find Rooms, Sleep ON the
Floor of Y. Nj. G. A. Hotel
Hungry Sightseers Fed

PARIS. Nov. 29.-Probabiy the big
gest problem that the Young Mems
Christian Association has to face in
the city of Paris is the housing of
soldiers who flock to this city in thou
sands for twentyfour to forty eight
hours leave. Every American boy who
comes to France is eager to see the city
OF Paris, Snd the prices of accommo-
dations at the French hotels is beyond
purses. The Y. NJ. c. A. has several
hotels where they can go and for one
franc a night can get bed and a
shower. Meals are served at cost.
The Pavilion Is the largest of these
hotels, and as an illustration the crowd
that flocked in there the other night
hotel was full to overlooking. The
other hotels in the neighborhocd or
the overflow list were also crowded to
the limit. The office also has long
list of rooms which French families
will rent TO soldiers. The list was ex-
hausted. Yet the men kept pouring in.
Seventy men took off their coats,
rolled them up, made them into pillows
and slept on the floor of the Lounge
room" At II ell lights were out
At 1880 p. m. Miss Elizabeth Gill
man, OF Baltimore. Md who has charge
of the canteen service at the Pavilion,
thought she would call it days work
and go to bed. But just as she was
starting upstairs, she heard a pounding
on the door and went to see what it
was.
She opened the door. to find thirty
four enlisted men who had travelled
eighteen hours on railroad train.
They wanted cover for the night, and
"for the love of Uncle Sam, sister, food
of some sort" She let them in, went
upstairs and called another canteen
worker. Together they went into the
kitchen and stole the bread that was
hidden in the closets for morning. They
found q key to the storeroom and
dragged out canned meat to make into
sandwiches. They searted fire in the
stove and made hot chocolate, and the
thrty-four boys were fed.
Then the two women went into the
dining room with the tables all set and
ready for breakfast. and cleared away
those tables and the men were only
too glad to roll up on them and on the
floor and sleep the sleep that only
tired. war-weary soldiers can sleep.
This is a situation that the Y. M.
c. A meets from day to day, IN spite
of the fact that it is renting every
available cavant hotel in the city.
