Separating Photograph From Mount

When a photograph is pulled away
from it's mount, after being sufficiently
soaked in water, the surface of the
print may be injured by the bending.
This can be avoided by laying the
print flat on it's face and pulling away
the mount, stripping it away in several
layers if necessary.-Popular Mechan-

IMPORTANT TO SUBSCRIBERS

IT HE cash basis is the modern, the efficient way,
of doing business Stores and practically all
other lines of business have been compelled to
come to it, and after number of years of very
unsatisfactory experience in the granting of cred
it, particularly on subscription accounts. The Rec
ord has resolved to fall in line with the movement,
and in future discontinue all subscriptions which
are not renewed upon expiration. If il is known
that this rule is being generally and universally
applied no subscriber take just offense at his
paper being discontinued when the time for which
it has been paid has elapsed.
AT the present time there is approximately
81 900 due us from subscribers, notice of which
has been mailed, and if, within reasonable time,
these accounts are not renewed the papers will be
discontinued 1t is needless to say that we shall
be most happy to receive the renewals of all who
feel that the paper is worth the subscription price,
and are interested in the news development and
progress of this part of the country. We shall
regret to part company with any of our splendid
army of readers, but the rule will be universally
applied and we fully expect to lose number of
names from our lists at least temporarily.
1t is splendid plan for subscribers to Occa-
sionally refer to the date printed opposite their
names on the margin of their papers or on the
wrappers and before the date of expiration ar
rives arrange to have it extended, thus avoiding
the possibility of annoyance by the missing of any
issues.
We are getting out an expensive paper and
cannot afford the very considerable losses that we
have in the past sustained by reason of subscrib-
ers refusing to pay for papers they have received
and read as long as we would continue to send
them on credit.
Our many loyal, prompt-paying readers will
realize that this new method of handling our sub
scription accounts is no injustice-in fact will
scarcely affect them-and that no offense is in
tended to any one.
We will respectfully ask that our subscribers
give consideration to this announcement, and let
us hear from those whose subscriptions have eX
pired promptly, particularly if they wish their pl
Ipers to continue coming.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, American soldier,
- statesman, and first president of the United
States, was born 1856 years ago today. No name
is dearer to the American people today than that
of Washington, and his name will continue to re-
main household word and an inspiration to the
American homes as long as the government which
he helped to establish remains. Notwithstanding
this, Washington had many ups and downs dur
ing his fetime-many serious reverses and many
bitter criticisms and opponents. There were sew
eral critical times in his career when defeat and
discredit seemed inevitable, but he possessed the
vital qualities which make for success and he sue
ceeded in triumphing over obstacles, and his name
was written in history, long after his death, per-
haps, as the greatest American.
Today we celebrate his suspicious advent into
the world and revere his name. No other can
eclipse him dim the lustre of his glory.
He lived and died a true patriot He a
capable and daring general able statesman,
and wise president. While conditions in the
world were very different then than they are to-
day, the agencies of death in warfare were crude
and primatve in comparison with what we have
to face in these times, yet the resources of the
country were even less in comparison and Wash
ngton had situations quite difficult to cope with
as any that confront generals in the present great
war And he came out with victory perched upon
his banners, Just as America is bound to do, soner
or later in the present conflict,

BEANS A SUCCESSFUL
DRY FARM CROP
Expert Declares There is Big Place
In West for This Crop.

Beans for patriotism and profit on
western dry farms. This is one slo-
gan for farmers to adopt this coming
season, says ]. w. Paxman, dry farm
specialist Of the Extension Division
Of the Utah Agricultural College who
declared that one of the coming dry
farm crops is beans. "The growing
of beans on dry farm land has already
passed the experimental STAGE" says
Mr.. Paxman. ain Utah we have grown
large yields in many districts. Care
must be taken, however, in the selec-
ton of the variety to be grown if
success is to be assured. The Michi-
gan pea bean finds most favor with
the canneries and should by all means
be grown for the canning market
This bean natures in short season.
Eighty-ive days from the date of
planting is sufficient 20 mature it in
Salt Lake County. For the general
market the fagelot variety is good"

4 Hint to the Aged.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded 10 go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious diseases.

Surely, then, men having interests and property
here can see double value to be derived from an
investment in the stock.
We trust that in the present instance, as in
many others on former occasions, the people of
Cedar City and Iron county, will be found to be
patriotic enterprising and ready to do their part
for the support and encouragement of any worthy
object which promises to promote the welfare of
the country and people at large

THE IMPENDING CALAMITY.

THE country is in suspense, awaiting the news

launched by the German armies against the al
lied defenses the western war front 1t las
been reported by the press that according to OBJ
servations made and taken, something like two
and half billion German and Austrian soldiers
have been massed for the great thrust in the di-
rection of Paris. According to the best authori-
ties of friendly source, there is about chance
in thousand of the teutons breaking through the
allies defenses. And if the offensive fails it will
mean blow so decisive to the man power of Ger
many that she will be practically compelled to sue
for peace at very early date But according to
the best information obtanable, the impending
battle will be one of the largest and most sangui-
nary of the war. The American troops will doubt
less be involved, also, and heavy casualties may
be expected. Upon the side assuming the often
sive, however particularly if it fails of its object,
the brunt of the calamity must fall and the al
lies will show wisdom in fortifying themselves as
strongly as possible and awaiting the attack

Church Panicky
Over Spiritualisn1

Alarmist church people feared Tor
tlme that Great Britain in her grief
over the wars dead would turn after
strange faiths, as spiritualism, theos-
ophy and other cults OF the Orient.
Religious publications and popular re-
views had great deal to say in the
arst Two years of the war and espe-
aially during the second year-con-
cerning the growth OF these strange
religions. Some Of the church leaders
we're bit panicky as they pictured
the people gong mad after spookism
Unquestionably. in the bewilderment
Of grief which succeeded the first
great losses Of the war, the smitten
people Of England did turn in consid-
cradle numbers to teachings that prom
ised to make the dead more real. Spir-
itualism, which offered communication
with the departed. and theosophy,
which taught reincacnation and karma,
held the lead in these spiritual fash
ions. Plain. professional claivoyance
and varieties Of Hinduism also throve
for a time, as they profassed TO fill
the empty hands that CROPPED in dark
ness for a touch Of the dear dead
This phenomenon in British lie must
be interpreted in the Light Of The cas-
ualty lists. All Of Great Britain was
mourning. Every family. every com
munity, every church, every organiza-
ton, had been bereaved, often Of its
best. Many historic family lines had
been wiped out. A pail o. grief had
settled upon the nation Dazed BY
bereavement, many persons turned to
spiritualsm in the hope Of hearing
some message across the silences
