PRODUCE FOOD
FOR OUR SOLDIERS

There Is noservice. other than act
ual army and navy service, in which
we can bring the war to successful
end than by producing food for our
fighting men and for those of our
associates In the war. This Is the
part OF the citizen soldier. The only
question Is. what foods are most inn
portant and necessary as war pro-
visions? To which might be answer
ed. Pork meats and fats because Of
their suitability to curing in which
form they do not require the ex-
pense Of refrigeration In transit and
storage" This should be reason
enough that all get behind the Food
Administration In increased pork
production. either by actually raising
hogs or assisting those who do with
financial resources.
Hog raising to-day Is profitable
for both city and country jewellers.
For the former It Is made possible
by plan to place brood sows purch-
ased by them on nearby country
places. In answer to the Food Ad-
illustrators appeal. there are many
reliable persons in the country pre-
pared and willing to take care Of the
sows and their litter for an interest
in them. In fact, in order to supply
their demands and those Of the city
dwellers. there has been imported in
to thecities, carloads Of brood sows
which can be urchased by those who
realize their opportunity in the pro-
position. and the urban resident who
has q few dolalrs to invest can now
get into the useful and profitable
business Of hog raising. From Fed.
eral Food Administration. Salt Lake

AN AMERICAN

l have read your recent numbers

your views--a big navy; superior

small standing army: you are well

efficiency universal training will give
the United States ten or twelve mil

available in an emergency.
We are learning most valuable les
sons in efficient use Of our equip
ment, supply. and transportation re-
sources. and doubt II ever again
political considerations will be al
lowed to risk the Nations safety BY
delaying vital measures OF vrepared-

As you perhaps know. am urging
In every possible way superior air
power for the United States. But

will be more important than our navy

CIRCULAR GIVES
IMPORTANT FACTS

Commissioner Claxton, of the
United States Bureau OF Education,
Department Of the Interior. has 10
sued the following circular letter ad-
dressed to all school boards and 9TH
ers who have to do with making Of
budgets for pebble schools:
The cost of living has increased
nearly SO per cent since 1913 and
approximately one third since 1916.
Since 1913 wholesale prices have in
creased as follows: Food. IS per
cent; clothing 106 per cent: fuel.
|53 per cent; drugs. 100 per cent:
home furnishing goods. rs per cent.
II the war continues It may be
expected that the cost of living will
be higher next year and higher still
the next. Prices for both skilled and
unskilled labor have also increased
and large numbers of the better
teachers of our public schools in
many cities and states have already
resigned to enter other occupations
at salaries or wages amounting to
from so to 200 per cent more than
they were paid as teachers.
As result standards Of efficiency
lin the schools are being lowered at
q time when 1t is more important
than ever before that they should
not only not be lowered but should
ON the contrary. be raised as rapid
ly a. possible. Conditions which VIII
follow the war will demand higher
standard Of intelligence. industrial
efficiency and civic knowledge and
virtue than W have yet attained:
and this can be had only through
better education. 81
The country q a whole is inter-
ested in this matter NO less than the
states and local communities. The
safety Of the nation and the welfare
Of the people are involved. am
therefore taking the liberty to write
to you at this time urging that you
will give this mattor most careful
consideration now and that you will
take such steps as may be necessary
to maintain the schools under your
control at their full efficiency. and
to improve and readjust their work
to meet the new and larger demands
made upon them. To do this 1t will
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1918-04-20

no doubt be necessary to increase
the salaries of teachers In proportion
to the increase in the cost of living
and to the wages paid for other kinds
of work.
This will mean increase in taxes :
but II should be remembered that
there are now just two things Of SUI
preme Importance for us as a peo-
pie to win the war for freedom and
democracy and to prepare our chill
dren for life and citizenship in the
new era which the war Is bringing
on. Let us spare not effort to accom-
plish both fully and well.

Title Of Admiral,

Porter, 1870 to 1891. and George
Dewey>from 1880 till his death. Janu-

Some men contribute measly dollar

their benighted souls conceive the idea
that they have done their whole duty
by their country. Then they blow $50

them that they have done their duty by

Ignorance and nothing else lies at the
root of the refusal of any man or woman
to do his or her utmost to aid their coun-
try in this hour of peril. Really, the
task is to convince them there is peril;
that is, peril demanding the utmost de.
votion, severe sclf-denial and ceaseless
endeavor on the part of everybody.
The slackers have an idea there may
be some peril. but do not consider it i'm.
minent. They think somebody else
will make the necessary sacrifices to
save the country, meanwhile they may
keep on in the pursuit of selfish aims,
as before. 1t wouldn't do any particu-
lar good to abuse these people, unless
one called them by name. Possibly this
may be done, in the near future. Not,
perhaps, in the newspapers, although
that may be done, but in glaring post
ers which shall appeal to man S shame
where it is impossible to appeal to the
sense of common sense in which he is
wanting. 1t seems strange that such
an alternative should even be thought
of; that anyone should fail to see the
logic of supporting the government in
the war, no matter how oblivious he
might be to the higher ideas of consci-
ence and patriotism. The most selfish
boards his wealth with the idea of bet
tering his social condition, of becom-
ing Independent, of providing himself
with creature comforts, of attaining
prominence among his fellows and re-
moving the possibility of want in old
age. But granting that he were sue
cessuful in accommodating wealth, of what
avail would it be to him if some pred
atory nation should conquer his coun-
try and take his wealth from him in the
settlement of indemnity? What prom
inence or independence or hope of COM
fort in old age could such man have
if compelled to live under nobility-rid-
den autocracy as a member of a con-
quered and despised race? And let no
man imagine that subjugation could not
be the fate even of our country. That
could be and would be it's fate if it's sal
walton were left in the hands of men
whose chiefest contribution to its de-
tense are empty mouthings that it can
not be conquered. If every dollar of in
dividual wealth were sacrificed, if that
were necessary, and freedom and equal
atty of opportunity thereby preserved,
we should still be passing on to poster
ity it's richest heritage-the only form
of wealth we can with certainty be-
queath to coming generations. The man
who lives oblivious of his obligations to
his fellowmen and his country is fool,
sowing the seeds which, if universally
sown. could only ,ripen in narrowed
lives, in blighted genius, in a decadent
world, and in the inevitable defeat of
his own hopes. But the man who lends
his means to upholding the cause of lib
erty, who would establish for his child
rem the opportunity to make the most
of themselves. who lives at least par
TALLY for "the future in the distance"
is a true seer who is sowing the seed
that shall result in an era of universal
culture, comfort and accord such as
