OBSTRUCTIONIsTs. LOOK OUT!

IL is an undeniable fact that the
entire country with hearty good will
follows every direction issued by
those who are conducting the Ameri-
can government and prosecuting the
war. When the President asks for
five million men TO fight and die. if
need be, when he asks for taxes ag-
gregating eight billion dollars, when
he asks for control over all railroads
and essential industrial plants, when
he asks for restriction on the CON
sumption of sugar, wheat, coal, meat,
when he asks the automobile indus
try to shut down. when he requests
the press to cut down circulation and
reduce its paper consumption, he need
not ask second time.
The only part of the American fore
es which did not yield implicit ODE
dience, which had to be denounced
and publicly threatened by the Pres
ident, consists of certain elements and
groups among the trade unions. Some
time ago the President had to lash an
organization of carpenters into line;
few weeks ago he was compelled to
threaten the machinist's union of
Bridgeport, Connecticut, with social
and economic boycott, with the revo-
cation of industrial exemption, before
the union could be brought to reason
And strikes, despite the elaborate ma
chinery for the rapid and equitable adj
justment of labor disputes, are still
daily occurrence. Even after the Pres
ident's scathing denunciation Of the
Bridgeport machinists union certain
radical elements among the Oakland,
California, shipbuilding unions advo-
Gated strike in order to force the
federal authorities to act more rapid
ly on their demand for basic wage
of dollar an hour.
The president has proved more than
once that his patience can be succeed
ed by rapid-fre action. Despite the
pronounced labor sympathy of the
President and his advisers, they will
ride rough-shod like tank in action
over any group of radicals or con-
servatives daring to interfere with the
successful prosecution of the war.

BREED BETTER HORSES
SPECIALIST ADVISES

According to reports received by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, the situation in the horse
breedin industry reveals the fact that
there are many nondescript and plug
horses Cutting the markets. This
condition, it is believed, affects the
horse industry in general. The real
good animals are still commanding
satisfactory prices, but the misfits are
being sold for considerably less than
the cost of production. The saving of
additional feed bills is said to be the
motive which prompts the producer TO
dispose of this class of horses, re-
CARELESS of price. One of the conclus-
ions which the Department of Agri-
cultural draws from the present
situation is that indiscriminate bree-
ing of horses is an Improbable enter
prise. II is essential, the department
specialists add, that farmers use
wise discrimination in selecting the
proper type of stations with which to
mate their best mares and thus mate
rally aid in producing only. efficient
horses which are capable of giving
the service required of them and
which consume less valuable feed for
the amount of work performed.
Such horses have a ready market and
always bring good prices. 1t is imper-
ative that the breeder who propos-
es to compete with the domestic and
foreign demands after the war should
begin now to stock up his stables
with desirable better bred horses.

To have lived at this period of the

ONE MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND
Uncle Sam Will Distribute This Sum
in Utah in 1923.

Just think of the enormous sum Of
81, 800, 100000. Think what that would
do in the way of improvements, in
homes and public buildings, and in a
thousand things for the betterment of
every person in the State of Utah.
This is the sum of money that the
Government of the United States will
pay into the State of Utah in 1923 in
good hard cash. 1t will not be in
government buildings, roads, bridges
or drainage, but actual money, and
the grand part of it is that every man,
woman and child has a chance to get
some of the money, and in proportion
to the amount of patriotism shown by
works right now.
Utah has been asked to buy some
81 ,500,000.00 worth of W.S.S., and
has pledged to take them all before
January /, 1919. If this pledge is
kept, all this money will be returned,
and in addition the sum of $780,
100000 in proportion to the amount of
W.S.S. purchased.
If our congressman had obtained
such sum of money to be given to
the people of Utah in public build
ings, or road building, or something
else, great would have been the praise
due them. At that, only few would
have profited by it, and we would have
something to look at-and perhaps
use-a few of us.
But this million and a half is going
to be something different. Every one
can share in it, if they will keep their
W.S.S. pledges, or purchase W,S.S.
now or before the first of the year.

he should certainly be allowed to try

to create music for himself Some

to learn, age makes little difference
