canal, dam, etc, and this regardless of whether
there was money in the treasury to compensate
them or not In fact, we are informed that much
of this labor has been absolutely gratutous.
In addition to this, the stock Of the company
has stood for at least two cash assessments of 1919
per cent each, which has of course fallen heaviest
on the larger stockholders.
1t is unreasonable, therefore, to expect that
the original stockholders can go much farther in
the patriotic enterprise of supplying Cedar City
with this modern and very essential convenience
And yet, there is widespread feeling that the
local service should be somewhat improved-that
the element of danger of the plant going out of
commission occasionally mot often) should be so
far as possible eliminated. And one important step
in this direction would be the erection of a con-
crete dam, with suitable traps etc. at the head of
the race 1t is needless to say that the company
hasn't and money with which to make this needed
improvement, and neither do they feel justified in
borrowing more than they are already obligated
for even if it were feasible which it probably is
not. Yet the needs of the community, and the
etension of the service of the plant calls for this
expenditure.
We have tried to show that the stockholders
in the light plant are in sense patriots and de-
serving of the gratitude of the community for it
has been more the purpose of supplying this need
for the community than any hope of interest
that has actuated them all the way through Now,
we believe that the books of the company open
for the receipt of stock subscriptions, and why not
some of those not already owning stock in the
pany, and who able, get in a little in this pa
trotic undertaking and subscribe for enough stock
to at least install cement dam in the creek, which
will prevent not only the trouble arising from the
washing out of the dam by floods, but also the
filling up of the head of the race with rocks, de-
bris, etc, and also the trouble found in low water
periods of turning all the creek into the race? We
do not know what the cost of such dam would
be- but doubtless the engineer who planned the
field dams could easily supply the information
And then, if the people of the community would
subscribe for enough more stock to take care of
the company's Indebtedness to the bank, the stock
would be placed on dividend basis at once. If
the company was fully financed, the earnings now
being used to pay interest accounts and slowly
repay the principal, were available for dividend it
would be sufficient to pay eight per cent on the
total capital employed
This is not only local institution requiring
your assistance and vital necessity, but it is al
SO safe and permanent investment as you
could desire, and one which from the start would
pay reasonable dividend, with ever increasing
earning capacity as the of the current extends.

CHAPLAIN B. H. ROBERTS, of the Utah

Field Artillery's Regmental Band, in his
remarks during the of the concert
given by the band in the B. A. c. auditorium, gave
some very logical and pertinent reflections on the
war situation. Mr.. Roberts stated that there was
a tendency on the part of people particularly here
in America enthused by the reports of small VIC
tories and successful minor operations to under
estimate the powers of the enemy and beguile
ourselves into thinking that the Germans were
defeated and the war about to end. The speaker
pointed out that the Germans were driven back
land that we would drive them) their line would
shorten and it shortened it would thcken and
that if the people of the Central powers should
keep their morale and hold together the real test
would not come until they reached their own front
ier That the railroads and everything in Ger
many had been planned from a defensive stand
point and that most stubborn resistance could
be expected. That while there was always the
possibility of the Central Powers going to pieces
and crumpling up, it was folly to bank any such
contingency, and that America must be prepared
to throw every ounce of her energy into the con-
flict and fight until victory is achieved, as it
will be- Mr.. Roberts is full of vim and
determination for the success of our armies, and
is entitled to the appation of "Our fighting Chap
lain"

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

It HIS war is to be won not by one man or one
thousand men or one million men, or one mil
lion people. 1t is to be won by the united efforts
of the individuals of many nations.
Every American citizen has an individual duty
to perform, an individual share of the responsible
ity. The more powerful and effective the Ameri-
forces the shorter will be the war, and the
shorter the war the fewer lives lost, the greater
the number of American soldiers who will return
home victorious.
Every American who economies in consump-
tion of material who increases production who
saves and lends savings to the Government does
something to help win the war.

THE RECORD is glad to note the extensive
repairs and improvements under way at the local
flour mill this summer. Apparently it is the aim
of the new management to leave nothing undone
that will add to the efficiency of the plant This
will insure first-class product and instead of Ce
dar sending many tons of wheat to other towns
to be ground it will mean the attracting here of
hundreds of bushels of wheat for grinding which
has heretofore passed our doors in search of bet
ter service than the old mill was able to give. All
these little things have their effect on the general
prosperity of the town.

THE Tooele Bulletin, feeling the pinch e Jar
times, nodoubt, has decided upon changing from
semi-weekly to weekly publication. 1t is not
often that newspapers slip back notch, but in
war times with present conditions of markets and
labor, the change seems perfectly justifable, es
pecialy since the management announces that the
paper will be enlarged and improved as weekly
representative of the field.

ALREADY great many people are feeling the
pinch of war drains, and it is only reasonable to
expect that this is only the commencement. Be-
fore long the great bulk of the American people
will have to begin studying and practicing the
most rigid economy. Practically everything not
actually essential to sur existence will have to be
eliminated if we are to meet the various drains
and demands made upon and maintain families
at the ever increasing cost of living. In way,
we are doing this now; but the pinch has hardly
began to make itself felt yet. The people of Flu
rope have had to economic far and beyond any
thing we have thought of here, and if America is
to be the big factor-supplying money food, ships,
munitions and men, not only for ourselves, but to
very considerable extent for our allies as well,
we cannot expect to get off easier than the people
of England and France, if the war continues for
an indefinite period The sooner we learn to get
along without the non-essentials the better will be
our position to bear the burdens placed upon us

of Mrs. r. DIXON Ward. in a

Miss Lyon began the study Of
music eight years ago under the
direction of her present teacher,
who was then Miss Emily Ander

technique and finished style to-
gether with her goOG' interpreta-
ton and deEicacy of h)uch ranks
her among the best. Miss Lig
on's program was a test for any
pianist. Her opening number,
Marche Militaire, by Schubert
Tausig, was brilliantly rendered.
showing exceptional technique.
Poldini's Marche .Mignonne
showed dainriness anCl delicacy
of touch that few can &C complish
Perhaps Miss Ligon s bast num-
Der was Mendelssohn's well
known Rondo Capriccio.o. The
Chopin Waltzes were played
with much feeling and the Chop,
in Etude was exquisite.
The climax was reached when
Miss Lyon and Mrs. Ward gave
Wallace's GrandDuo on HalIevy's
Il Eclair" which was superb.
Miss Lyon was received with
much enthusiasm and was com
PEELED to respond to an encore
giving Chopin's Waltz in A

The many beautiful flowers
received by the. young pianist,
proved the esteem in which ste
is held by her many friends and

splendid talent and wish for her
a successful career.
