PLANTING THE POISON.

T TITLE by little we are learning how it comes
- that the German people are obsessed with the
idea of military grandeur and glory. We no longer
wonder that they should have eagerly awaited the
day when they should triumph over all by reason
of their superior arms Nor do we wonder that
they should accept war in all its horrors as the
inevitable means of working out their destiny. The
Germans believe this because they have been
taught to believe it from their mothers knees.
Their minds have been innamed for more than
two generations with mighty notion of heroic
valor. Educated as they have been, they could
not possibly think otherwise than that the waging
of war; in all its most terrifying FORMS is but the
predestined forerunner of the German "kultur"
that is to come
Napoleon once said that "war is the science of
barbarians," but it remained for the Kaiser and
his war lords to demonstrate that war is the sci
ence Of demons. They seem to subscribe to the
same belief that possessed the American Indian
while on the war path he believed not only in the
"happy hunting grounds" hereafter, but that the
more scalps he hung to his belt in this world the
greater would be his glory in the world to come.
The following paragraph quoted from the Jung
Deutschland" the official organ of the young Ger
man league, printed back in 1913, contains pane
gyrc on war that will account for deeds that have
caused the whole civilized world to shudder during
the past four years:
"War is the nobest and hottest expression of
human activity. For us, too, the glad great hour
of battle will strike Still and deep in the German
heart must live the JOY of battle and the longing
for it. Let us ridicue to the utmost the old women
in breeches who fear war and deplore it as cruel
and revolving Mo- war is beautiful. It's august
sublimity elevates the human heart beyond the
earthly and the common. In the cloud placed above
sits the heroes Frederick the Great and Butcher,
and all the men of action-the great Emperor,
Moltke, Room, Bismarck-are there well, but
not the old women who would take away our joy
of war When here on earth battle is won by
German arms and the faithful dead ascend to
heaven, Potsdam lance corporal will call the
guard to the door, and old Fritz springing from
his golden throne will give the command to pre-
sent arms. That is the heaven of young Ger
many" -Goodwin's Weekly.

STORE ICE-SAVE AMMONIA,
URGES FOOD COMMISSION

Such Importance is now attached to
ammonia as a war commodity that the
Food Administration is planning to
effect a reduction, if possible, in its
use for making artificial ice. Ammon-
ia is widely used for making ammu-
milton, for cold storage and for the
manufacture of artificial ice.
AS between direct military require
ments and the use of ammonia for ice
making, the chemical division of the
Food Administration fully recognizes
tire pressing need for the former, and
declares that a revival of natural har-
vesting on large scale will help
greatly to relieve the situation. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture is
also using its valuable and widely dis
tributed organization to this end.
While it is important that everyone
dependent upon artificial ice be in
formed of the situation, dairymen,
creamery operators and others hav-
ing ice houses are advised to fill them
completely with natural ice this win
ter.
Since refrigeration machinery has
come into vogue, there has been a
marked tendency to discontinue the
harvesting and storage of natural ice,
But as a war measure to insure plenty
of ammonia for military purposes and
at the same time to be certain of an
abundant supply of ice for preventing
food waste, every owner of an ice
house is requested to fill it to the
roof this winter. Ice of the Jack
Frost brand will be the. most patriotic
next summer.

USE SKINNED MILK
IN YOUR COOKING

Skinned milk is usually so album
dant on the farm that its value in
the diet is overlooked. Quart for
quart it contains little more pro-
TEN and little more milk sugar
than whole milk, but much less fat.
Because of the lack of fat il cannot
be used in the place of whole milk for
children. II is, however, a most valu-
able adjunct to the diet on meatless
days, and the cheapest protein food
for the farmers table.
Aside from its food value skinned
milk adds much to the quality and
flavor in cooking, and is first aid
in converting left-overs into palatable
dishes. Milk used in bread in place of
water adds as much protein to a pound
loaf of bread as there is in one egg.
It gives a softness of texture to bread
that adds particularly to the palat-
ability of graham or bran bread.
Cereals cooked in milk instead of
water gain in flavor and food value.
A particularly nourishing dish is pre-
pared by cooking down 10 to IL parts
of skinned milk to one of rice, oat-
meal or other cereal. Where this is
to be served for dessert, use one
fourth cup Of rice and one-fourth cup
of sugar to three cups Of milk. Cook
until thick. This can be used in place
of cream with stewed fruit.
Milk soups or purees are made with
skinned milk and the pulp of beans,
peas, onions, potatoes or celery. Fish
chowder made with milk is most sub
stantial meat substitute. A few oys-
tiers or little meat stock will suffice
to lend flavor to milk soup.
SKINNED milk thickened with flour
and served hot on hard stale bread
or toasted biscuit makes comforting
cold-weather dish for breakfast or
supper.
White sauce or cream dressing can
be used with bits of meat to make at
tractive dishes, or with warmed-over
vegetables. Cheese added to the
sauce gives another variation. This
can be served on rice, macaroni, hon.
my, or caulifower.
SKINNED milk can be used in MAX
ing such desserts as blanc mango,
junket, tapioca, custard, cornstarch
and bread buildings. In fact SKINNED
milk is an ever-ready help in many
forms of cooking.

A Patriotic Duty.

The local Red Cross work commit
tee states that a number of ladies in
town have been holding back from the
work meetings that are held each af-
ternoon, waiting to receive a special
invitation to come. 1t is desired by
the committee that we make it plain
that not only is a general invitation
extended to all ladies of the commun-
ity to participate in this worthy la
hor, but that each one should feel it
duty to do her "bit" in this connec-
ton, from a sense of patriotism. If
you happen to be one of those ladies
who have been waiting for an invita-
ton, kindly accept this as one and let
your presence be seen and felt at least
occasionally at the Relief Society
building, which is warmed and made
comfortable each afternoon for this
purpose.

A SORROWFUL BEREAVEMENT

WHEN old people die, who have lived until the
w last drop of sweet has been drained from the
cup of life and they long for their release and an
opportunity to continue their progress in another
sphere there is no sorrow in the parting, particu-
arly to those having the conviction that the sepa
ration is merely transtory and that the reunion at
a future time will be made the sweeter by
the short separation; but when a man in the zen
eth of his physical and mental powers, with all
the responsibility of parenthood and family obli-
cations, is snatched away, it is indeed narrowing.
There is little that can be said upon such oc-
casons to comfort or fill the void in the hearts Of
the dear ones left behind. There is only'one phys
ician that can heal wounds of this character, and
he is Father Time Words are empty and mean
ingless.
William p. Hunter was a Solid staunch and
stawart citizen. He was Industrious honest, fru-
gal and God-fearing. His impress upon the world
is all upon the credit side of the great ledger for
if he was ever guilty of any dscreditabe or dis
honest act we have not known of it,
His family is not left in destitute circumstances
by any means, and the older children have about
reached maturity; but nevertheless they are at
an age when they need the counsel, advice and
watchcare of father, They are particularly for
tunate in having an excellent mother woman of
character sagacity and firmness, who will doubt
less come as near TO filling the double task devolv
ing upon her as any that could be sighted.
We sympathize most sincerely with the strick-
en- family in their affection They will miss the
departed most grievously, and he will be missed
by the community at large, which is bowed in sor-
row at his untimely death

A WELL-SPENT LIFE

7 N the death of Christopher J. Arthur. which oc-
Cured last Sunday night, the final curtain fell
on a well-spent life. Christopher Arthur was an
energetic active and useful citizen, and had many
intimate and sincere friends in fact this esteem
extended to q very wide circle of acquaintance
throughout this state as well as elsewhere. Of
fine appearance and polished and refined in man.
ner, with an education far above the average of his
contemporaries, he was conspicuous figure in the
social and business life of the community. AS the
manager of local mercantile institutions for many
years. as bishop and the holder of various other
ecclesiastical positions he was kept prominently
before the public of this section of the country.
Possessed of the admirable faculty of prompt
ness in all his habits and associations, honest and
frank in his dealings, he was man to win the
respect of everyone.
To his clerical ability and education are trace
abe many of the valuable records remaining of the
early activities in this part of the state.
He lived to the ripe old age of 80 years, or I'M
til the ambitious spirit chafed under the restraint
and encumbrance of the WORKOUT and feeble
body and he frequently appealed to his Father in
Heaven for release, having unquestioning faith in
future existence and continuation of his course
of progression.
Beyond the grave it is not given to mortals to
see, but inherrant intelligence teaches that the
souls of men are immortal and that this existence
is merely an incident in the great program of our
immortal Father; and this being the case, such
men as C. ]. Arthur have little to upbraid them
selves with in the life spent here.
Peace dMkjoy be to his soul.

IF any country on the globe can show better,
healthier more exherating and at the same time
more exhilerating climate than we have enjoyed
in southern Utah this winter we should like to
have ocular evidence. Visitors to California this
winter say that while it does not freeze quite so
hard in that country, the atmosphere seems quite
as cool, and they prefer our climate to that. Take
it all the way round, honestly it is pretty hard to
find better country to live in than this free as
we are from cyclones, floods, tidal waves, coal and
sugar famines such as are robng life of its pleas
ure in the eastern states; beyond the range of the
guns of invading battleships or armies, and with
generous supply of the good things of this world.

MADOO EXPLAINS
WAR FINANCE BILL

Washington, Feb. 9 - Secretary
McAdoo, before the Senate finance
committee explaining the war finance
corporation bill, said it was purely
through the banks for operation of
enterprises necessary to the success
full prosecution of the war.
Similar legislation now in force in
England and France, has been sue
cessful, Secretary McAdoo said. SEN
ator Penrose observed that in England
there had not been an issues of "un-
covered paper"
AT least the covering is so thin
you can't see it" remarked Senator
Smoot, "and that is exactly what we
are coming to in this country"
Mr.. M'Adoo said the bill sought to
prevent that condition.
The purpose of the legislation was
not to restrict existing borrowing ia
cilities, but to enlarge them, the sec
rotary said. Insurance companies
would also be enabled to obtain relief
by obtaining loans from the corpor-
alton on railroad or war industry Sc
curities
Assurance that savings banks
would be given ample protection was
given to the committee. The bill
provides a method by which savings
banks will have ample opportunity to
invest in securities approved by the
corporation. Similar application is
made to farm loans.

five PETITIONS
FOR DEGREES OF
DIVORCE GRANTED

Helen Petersen of Bridgeport was
granted a divorce yesterday from Da-
vid Petersen, formerly of Port Ches-
ter, N. Y, by Judge William NJ Malt
bic in the Superior Court. Mrs. Peter
sen said they were married April y,
1913, in Port Chester, and that after
the birth Of their baby her husband
frequently came home drunk, abused
her, and on one occasion tore the
clothes from her back during a quar-
rel. They lived in New York for
while, and then came to Bridgeport.
Desertion after three weeks of we'd
ded life was the charge Julia-Korsko
made against Paul Korsl1o. She said
they lived together for that time, then
her husband went to Pennsylvania,
and when she wrote asking him to re-
turn he replied not to waste stamps,
as he did not intend to return. They
were married October 20, 1918, in Shell
ton. The divorce and custody of a
child was granted.
Margaret F. A. Mayfield of SIAM
ford was given a decree from Hunter
L. Mayfield, now of Waco, Texas, on
the ground of desertion. Mrs. May
| field said they were married Septem-
Der q, 1912, and her husband deserted
her eight days later. He told her over
the telephone he was through with
| her.
Desertion was also the cause in the
case of Florence Rose CONNIE against
| Clifford CONNIE. He refused to work,
and wanted his wife to support him,
I and when she refused he left her.
| Lena Stein was given a decree from
Louis Stein of Bridgeport. They were
married in New York, lived in Bridge
port since 1914, when her husband left

urgently needed"
Sultan's Narrow Squeak

the Kaiser said. These big guns are
urgently needed"
SuItan's Narrow Squeak
The Sultan was interested in the
working of the great cranes, and the
party stroIled along the workshop to
match the machinery at work. He
witnessed three or four journeys of
different cranes as they moved slow
ly on their overheard tracks.
Above the heads of the Royal par
ty, on the iron platforms near the
roof of the building quite a small
army of men were to be seen work
ing.
AS the party were passing beneath
one of the cranes, there was a dull
thud, and 1 saw that a hammer had
fallen from above and had narrowly
missed the Sultan.
Almost at the same moment that
the hammer struck the ground, a re-
volver shot rang out, and the body of
workman came crashing down from
one of the overhead platforms.
The incident threw the shop into
state of great commotion. The
Kaiser went deadly pale, and the Sui
tan became 1ivid. There was a hur-
ried consultation and the two Mon
archs were quickly shepherded out
of the shop by Won Bohlen and 9TH
erS.
After their Majesties had left, at
tention was paid to the body of the
workman who had been killed by a
bullet wound in the head.
Scrutinizing those who had gather
ed round, I saw through the disguise
of one dressed as a foreman.
1t was Madam Nebrikoff, and I had
then no doubt that it was she who
had been responsible for the death
of the workman. 1t was another tri-
umph for her secret service.
learned that the dead man was
an Armenian, and although 1 never
heard any official explanation of the
affair, the conclusion I came to was
that the poor fellow, suffering either
from personal grievance against the
Turks, or thinking that he saw ar
opportunity of avenging the great
wrongs which had been done to his
country by Turkish rulers, had made
an attempt, which only narrowly fail
ed, on the life of the Sultan.
So upset was the party that they
postponed the remainder of the tour.
(Next week Mr.. Van der Under
will describe how German chemists
died the horrible deaths they intend
ed for British soldiers.)
