HORIZONS TELL Of FOOD
 SHORTAGE IN EUROPE
Missionaries Say Long Lines of Wom en and Children in Bread Line'
 Turned Away Painting

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 1.-Mis- sionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (Mor- mons) returning to the United States from foreign work, in their reports tc the church tell stories of desperate food scarcity in parts of Europe. Although food scarcity among the nations allied with Germany and neu. tral nations is well known, the return ing missionaries bring detailed stor. ies describing the conditions as a tra- gedy.
 Carl T. Peterson of Logan, Utah recently returned from Sweden, ana E. L. Otteson of Spanish Fork, Utah just arrived from Norway, said that the bread problem in all o1 these countries appeared critical Long lines of women and children
 waiting for hours with their food 1 cards and often turned away in faint ing condition with empty hands be- cause the supply gave out, was ire quent sight, according to these men. Foreigners, especially in some parts of Norway, MT. Otteson said, were asked to leave, the government off 1 cials declaring there was no food. ] One missionary stated that he saw in Christiana 12,000 people standing in line for allowance of potatoes, six pounds to a family, and the supply was exhausted before one-half of them had been given their allowances
 Wood pulp was being used in 25 per cent proportions in much of the bread along with mixtures of various wheat substitutes.
 Only six Mormon" missionaries are left in Norway, where there were formerly as many as 12O, according
 to MT. Otteson. Twelve are left in Sweden, 10 of whom are now due to return to the United States.

THIS IS PART OF PATRIOTISM


 Don't be pessimistic when things go a bit wrong in the war. There is nothing really to worry about. The Boche can weaken himself trying to smash the allied >lines-and the weak CT he gets trying the better our chances in the end. For he is getting constantly weaker and we are get ting constantly stronger.
 Here is how one writer puts it:
 "Be not cast down by defeat. Spread no rumors of calamity. When the dark days come, encourage the timid and fearful, reprove the alarm ist and backsliders, Aroused now to the solemnity of our task and duty will be performed to the end-vic. tory! Yet only when every one. does his full share shall that victory come.
 "Urge haste, urge thoroughness, urge unremitting effort. Take the war seriously, for war is grim work, and we have an enemy who thinks of nothing but efficiency. Our sol diers are not only to be amused, but armed and taught to fight. Insist that this comes first.
 l More guns, more ships, more aeroplanes! Is your congressman or senator lagginga Wake him up. Act every day as if your life and your wife were in danger. They are!" ". s. s.

COMPUTING PAY UNDER M'ADOO'S ORDER

Considerable confusion seems to exist in regard to the manner of com putting the pay railroad men will re- ceive under Director General Me- Adoc's order fixing hours and wages for railroad employees, and the amount of back pay to which they will be entitled.
 The schedules of pay are too lengthy to be gone into. Some are on percentage basis, and others are granted flat increases. Railroad men in the different departments are familiar with the rate of increase.
 The order shows that the increase are based on the pay received in De- cember, 1915, and that the higher wages are to date from January 1, 1918. As some railroad employees have received increases since Decem- Der, 1915, these are to be deducted from the increase granted. Thus a man who received $150 a month in December, 1915, but who has been increased to $175 a month will not re- ceive more nor less under the new or der. The rate of increase salaries of $150 is 1917 per cent or $24.25 a month, which is less than the raise already granted.
 In the case of men paid by the day or hour, their back pay will be com puted by adding the amount they would have earned under the new schedule, and deducting therefrom the amount paid. For overtime since January l. 1918, he will be paid at the new rate and on the basis of an eight-hour day.
 The same rules apply to the men employed under piecework and mil. cage basis, the idea being that the new rates shall be as from January 1 1918, on the basis of an eight-houl day, the increases being based or wages paid in December, 1915. In. creases given since 1915 are deduct.

GIRLS AND SOLDIERS

It is somewhat disgusting to see how some girls hurl themselves at men in the uniform of a United States soldier.
 We believe that every courtesy and consideration should be shown the men in uniform. But when good taste and the proprieties are violated, the soldiers themselves entertain feel ing akin to contempt for the women and girls who hold themselves so cheaply.
 The man doesn't live who esteems girl who throws herself at him. He'll take liberties which he would never think of with girl who be- hayes properly. And he cannot be blamed. Consider that there are men, even in the uniform, who are ready to take advantage of girls, and the danger girl incurs by acting giddy and foolish is apparent.
 If the girls were actuated solely by a desire to show appreciation of the courage and patriotism displayed by the man in uniform, giddiness and looseness of conduct would be bad enough. It could be said that she has pust permitted her enthusiasm to get the best of her judgment. How ever, that would not save her from evil consequences. But it is not a desire to show appreciation of patrio- tism that impels many girls and wo- men to act foolishly over sol dier. It is nothing more nor less than a desire to get into the limelight; to prance about bit on the stage of which the soldier now holds the cen- ter; to be seen with a soldier, so they may boast to their friends of the "good time" they had.
 The "good time" is going to be cause of years of regret and sorrow, unless some are more careful.

ed from the rate of increase given In the McAdoo order.
 It is this deduction from the new wage schedules of increases granted since December, 1915, that is causing some railroad men to complain. Some salaries will not be disturbed, while others will not be increased as much as the employees desired.
 The effort of the wage commits sion evidently has been to equalize conditions-that is, to raise all wages over those paid in December, 1915. Those who have not received in- creases since that time will get the full rate of increase granted as we'll as back pay from January 1, 1918, on the basis of the eight-hour day. Those who have received increases since December 1915, will have the amount of the increase deducted from the pay they are receiving at present.
 ". s. S.----
 It may be we'll for those railroad men who would strike for 75 cents an hour to remember that the boys l in the trenches-some of them boys of railroad men-have no eight-hour day, do not get anything like 75 cents an hour, are doing far more labor ious and hazardous work, and would be shot if they struck. And if those boys fail because of strikes Or lack of support, the railroad men and all others in this country will jump tc the crack of the kaiser's wrip. There are no 75-cent an hour men and eight. hour days on the German railroads.

TRAINING THE DOG.
Clever Tricks the Animal May Easily
Be Taught to Perform.

The best kind Of dogs to train to
perform tricks are the smaller ones,
such as terriers, poodles, spaniels,
collies and dachshunds. The poodle
is the clevefset Of ALL
Kindness, frmness and patience
are necessary qualities in teaching a
dog. Nothing can be done by cru
city, and if you lose your temper
you will never teach him anything.
1t is very little use trying to teach
an old dog. Begin when he is young
and do not Overture him. Also do
not overfeed him, for most Of the
lessons have to be taught by a sys-
tenn of small rewards in the shape OF
titbits Of food.
First Of all teach him to beg by
propping him up on his launches In
corner. You can then teach him
to shake hands when sitting up.
Take hold of his right paw gently
and shake it. Then give him his
titbit. Now, hold out your hand
again to him. If he does not put
his paw in it gently touch it and
hold out your hand again till he
does it. Then reward him at once.
Don't forget in all cases to say the
word Of command whenever you
want him to do ANYTHING.
TO teach a dog to dance is not so
difficult as you might suppose, but
you should only try it with a dog
that has learned some of the sim
pier tricks. The whole secret con-
sists in getting him to keep on his
hind legs. Hold titbit SO high that
the dog will have to stand on his
hind legs to get it. Do not let him
have it till he remains on his hind
legs for second or two and gradu-
ally increase the time. Next move
along a step or two before you let
him have it, so that he is compelled
to hop few PAGES. He will soon
learn to do this, and you can grad
ually increase the distance till he is
able to hop across the room. Be
very careful that you do not at
tempt too much at first.
It appears rather wonderful to see
a dog shut the door at a word OF
command, but it is quite a simple
trick. 1t works best with a rather
large dog. Go to door that swings
easily and set it about six inches
open. Then balance biscuit on the
handle and draw the dogs atten-
ton to it, saying "Shut the door"
He will naturally jump against the
door to get the biscuit, and his
weight will shut it. Then praise
him for it. BY doing this several
times a day he will gradually get to
associate the action with the words,
"Shut the door," and will do the
trick when told, even though there
is no biscuit in evidence.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

FEEDING THE POTATO CROP.


Potatoes are enormous feeders. They
have to be to make leaves enough so
that they may manufacture very large
quantities Of starch-and in growing
these leaves they use great quantities
of plantfood.
Manure, if used, should be plowed
under. Ordinarily, however, the ma
nure can be used on corn to better
advantage.
Fertilizer may be either applied at
time of planting, or spread broadcast
before planting.
When the vines are from five to six
inches high, it is customary to apply
a second application of fertilizer,
spreading it alongside the row and
working in with the cultivatOr. Potato
growers find that this method wins
them large crop Of extra fine pota-
toes. 4sssaas&s .sst,sss ,ss-:g

FALL FROCKS.
Points About the New
Lines of One Gown.

The new frocks are delightful. They
are more pleasing-just because they
are new-than last seasons frocks, and
they are attractive enough in them
selves to merit the favor Of women who
are insistent about lines and chic, those
two mysterious qualities that are so
much more important than mere mate
rial or color interest.
The fall frOcks approach the once ia
miliar princess lines very closely. In
fact, they are princess frocks minus
the sheath effect always associated
with princess ideals. All the new lines
are straight, and the silhouette most
desirable now suggests straightness
and slenderness-the boyish, undevel-
oped figure rather than the much
curved feminine figure which was sup
posed to "set off, princess, model to
advantage. The modern frOck elim1-
mates curves at bust and hip, and its
straight lines are interfered with very
little by the inevitable sash or girdle
which draws in the soft material above
or below the natural waist line just
enough to relieve the silhouette of any
suggestion of clumsiness or angularity.
Sometimes the skirt is attached to the
bodice two inches or so below the
waist line, and narrow sash is drawn
around the untitled bodice at the waist,
never snugly, but just enough to show
that the figure is really trim and shape
ly and not straight up and down."
frOck Of this type is of black satin.
