"wHAT DID YOU DO?"
(By James II. Heron in Iron Age.)

When the grim night of war is past,
And Freedoms dawn breaks through
at last;
When all the world is free from strife,
And higher values placed on life,
When war machines have all been
scrapped,
And Slavery's chains forever snap
ped.
This question then will come to you:
"In days of war. WHAT DID YOU
DO?"
And when the curse of kultured might
Has been removed from human
sight;
When savage lust for power has sped,
With autocrats and monarchs dead /;
When common people have control,
And nations learn they have soul;
What share will you claim as your due
OF Liberty? WHAT DID YOU
DO?
When fighting men come sailing home
From bloody war across the foam,
(The war of peace-forever-more),
Their broken bodies, weary, sore
And tired, and solemn faces tell
The story of the wars fierce hell,
They'll sure demand to know of you
While "over there" WHAT DID
YOU Dor"
And those who sleep in foreign soil,
Who cast their lives in hell's tur-
moil-
Their 'Gler,ory'll light the future years
And take the stins from all ou'
tears;
And in our dreams we'll see, per-
chance,
Their crosses stand Somewhere in
France"
Poppies will nod and whisper, too,
"They did their best; WHAT DID
YOU Dor
oh, If you fail to do your best,
To prove your metal in the test,
To be bigger, better man,
And realize "War is Gods plan
To cleanse the universe of sin
And make il decent to live in"
How are you going to answer true,
When God demands, WHAT DID
YOU DO?

BRINGING THE WAR HOME


point of view, but from the point of
view of national defense and security.
Under no conditions, whatever it costs,
should we let those industries down in
the future. There, think, we ought
to have the most complete agreement,
and do not doubt for a moment that
you will get it. The best method of
securing those industries against un-
fair attack, against unfair competi-
tion, the best way in which you can
secure their development and secure
that they shall go on growing and in
creasing with view to the strength
ening of the country, is a matter
which will require the very deepest
consideration; and it is a consideration
which no government could possibly
avoid giving to it at the earliest pos
sible moment.
There are two or three things which
1 should like to say upon that particu-
lar problem. The longer the war lasts
the sterner must be the economic terms
we impose on the foe. And l think
the sooner he realizes that the better.
He is fighting in order to impose his
own economic terms upon the Allies.
He will never succeed in doing so. As
far as that is concerned we must be in
a position to determine the conditions
which we regard as fair without hav-
ing them imposed upon us by the will
of the enemy. And if he goes on
fighting, imposing greater burdens
upon US, destroying our young man
hood, and guilty also of outrages which
shock humanity and which make it
difficult to shake hands with him when
the war is over, the sterner will be
the terms that will be imposed upon
lt.-.
When peace comes, have no doubt
that there will be great deal Of con-
fusion. That there will be a time
when all the organizing capacity Of
the nation and all its individual
strength will be required in order to
prevent something which is worse than
confusion. A fact of much importance
is that there will be arrears of work
which it will take US years to make
up, even in manufacture. A great diff
ficulty will be raw materials; where
TO get it and how to get il. Another
difficulty will be transport, and you
will find that during the first years
of peace there will be difficulties that
will require special consideration of n
totally different character even from
that which has been predicted in the
very able speeches which have been
delivered here today. These questions
will demand the most careful consid-
Grafton. You will require the most
complete understanding with our do
minions, because it is important that
you should carry along with you the
people who have contributed with you
to the common sacrifice.

BIRTH OF A NATION
MAKES GOOD SHOW
TOWNS OF THEM ALL

Many a town has got the contemp-
tuous title Of "a bad show town" sim
ply because its people were not cas-
lily gulled into taking for granted
every Jim Grow attraction that took
notion to play there.
Such places usually prove to be the
very best "show towns" when you
offer them "the goods"
Griffith's "The Birth of Nation"
has the indisputed goods" both in a
visual and musical way, and it has
the boni fide reputation, too-the
greatest and most enviable Of any
amusement Offering in the world to-
day.
1t is one of the "ironies of fate"
that this superb and widely discussed
attraction proves every town it strikes
a first class "show town."
The city Of Milwaukee, for instance,
had just lately been considered a
"week stand" for the customary dra-
matte and musical organizations trav-
cling, yet Griffith's production played
there at the leading opera house to
capacity business, night and day, for
two solid months, and in the heated
"off" summer season July and Aug
ust), too.
In the course of that time it was
notable that the poorest weeks bus
mess of the entire engagement was
the first week, which proves that,
while people were slow to take hold
until they were convinced it was all
it was expected to be, they fiocked
there after they heard on all sides
"Go and see it." at is the greatest
thing you ever saw"
Perhaps the Milwaukee engage
ment more than any other first prov
ed how dear to the hearts and sympa-
thies of the great American people
the Griffith production has gotten.
Every town is willing to patronize
the genuine article, but many do not
"fall" easily for the snide.
From coast to coast it is national
holiday when this production appears
and the people turn out as if Abra
ham Lincoln, himself, were scheduled
to speak at the theatre.

Mr.. j. p. Cotton, head of the Meat
Division of the Food Administration,
said today:
Hold back your hogs. On Novem-
Der Bird, ! stated that the prices of
hogs, so far as this Division could af-
feet them, would not fall below about
fifteen dollars and fifty cents per hun
dredweight for the average of the
packers droves on the Chicago mar
ket until further notice. That state
ment l make again.
"The packers inform me that they
are doing their best to aid US in that
policy; but, largely owing to trans
portation difficulties in the east, there
is now a glut of hogs on the Chicago
market, and more hogs than the
packers can kill and handle. The
farmers and commission men in this
territory must help by holding back
hogs temporarily especially from the
Chicago market. If there is coopera-
ton the minimus will be maintained.
Do not sacrifice your hogs by dump
ing them on an overcrowded mar
ket."

Tribune, as well as platform speaker of world
renown, the people of Cedar City are afforded an
intellectual treat Mr. Fletcher is one of the fore
most thinkers, writer's and speakers of America.
He has message that no citizen can afford to
miss. The fact that this number costs the local
committee as much to bring here as the average
company of five six people, indicates that there
is merit and worth in the lecture which Mr.. Fetch
er delivers. We are looking forward with pleasure
to the privilege of hearing and meeting Editor
Fletcher, and we feel safe in predicting that the

the wisdom of the committee in selecting this num-
Der for their yceum course.

FRIDAY, JAN. II, 1918.
RUSSIA'S FOLLY

IT HE statement of noted Russian politician the
other day that they did not want the aid of the
allies against Germany because their greatest
safety lay in their weakness, and that there was
nothing for Germany to gain by forcing their line
back as Russia barren waste, was a sorrow
full admission to come from a country with the man
power and agricultural resources that Russia had
at the beginning of the war, and tends to accen-
tuate the enormity of the fizzle which Russia has
made in the worlds war
At the outset, if Russia had put two million
men in line instead of eight, and had kept the re-
mainder of her population busy producing arms
munitions, food and clothing for those doing the
actual fighting, instead Of sending half armed
and poorly provided for horde of human beings
to be ruthlessly murdered and butchered by the
Germans, the story the Russian front would
have been very different at this time.
~, Russia has shown about as little diplomacy and
foresight in the war she could possibly have
done, and now is scarcely a factor worthy of con-
sideratiOn. The fact that she has nothing but
barren waste doubtless accounts for Germanys ap-
athy in the halter of peace negotiations. If Rus
STA had an abundant supply of food and other ma
terials needed by the Germans, they would doubt
less be quick to concede something at the present
time in order to have peacable to these re-
sources. But with nothing to offer now, Germany
doubtless prefers to allow the severance of diplo-
matte relations to remain until the conclusion of
the war, in the hope that sometime they can en-
force the payment of heavy indemnity.
At any rate from this time on, Germany has
little to fear, it would seem, from Russia and it
will require a very limited army to maintain their
line against their northern foe. They can well
afford to leave the settlement with Russia until
the termination of the with the other allies
Perhaps we may have profited by the exper-
fence of Russia but certain it is that the course of
our own country is in striking contrast to that of
the Russ as well as some Of the other countries
participating in the great conflict. Conservation
has been the watchward of this nation from the
first declaration of war, and truly the outstanding
of resources, and the speeding up of production
are the elements which win or lose wars. Tenn
porary successes and glowing deeds of valor are
of passing moment and do not often bring victory
in great struggle between nations. 1t is the re-
sources of country and the ability to husband
and conserve them which count in the final decis-
ion. Russia's dismal failure may prove our saliva
ton.

THE long and alarming drought has been
broken at last, and while the amount of precipita-
ton thus far has been light and entirely made
quate to the needs of the country it is very ma
terial help and will do an immense amount of good
particularly to the livestock industry. And now
that the spell is broken" we trust that we may
have additional storms from time to time, until
our usual supply of moisture shall have been de-
posted in the mountains and canyons for next
summers use. The sheep and cattle men were not
long in moving their animals out onto the fresh
feed after the storm came to provide watering
places in the country up to then inaccessible the
present winter.

CAMOUFLAGE

What's camounage THE juggler's trade
Delusion, glamour, masquerade;
The mummers artihce, designed
To make the sense betray the mind
The tint of rouge, the scent that clings,
The curl that grew not where it swings
The touch that thrills the blood Of man,
The soft, shy glance behind the fan;
The sweet, low laugh of badinage--
That's camouhage.
What's camouAage?-A web for flies;
The mist that binds the lovers eyes
The dainty scrap Of this or that
Which ransoms yester-season's hat
The sauce that turns the humble stew
To some delectabe ragout!
The motor builders happy scheme
To make the humble chariot seem
A car from Croesus' garage
That's camoufage.
What's camouAage 1.-The printed lure
That promises the wondrous cure;
The casters fly of coors gay,
The mining stocks, the smooth toupet,
The bluff that screens the empty purse
Or masks untidy prose as verse;
The veil of picturesque romance
That changes theft to high finance
And treachery to sabotage
That's camouhage.
What's camouhage oh, many thingsl
The pomp and pride of thrones and kings;
The gamblers hope; the rosy wreath
That fades and leaves the thorns beneath;
A wrecker's light; the phosphor glow
Some hooking star has cast below
To make the eyes of men behold
Their gold as dross, their dross as gold
Their zealot's vision, flames mirage
That's camouhage.

THE women can always be depended upon to
do their bit in whatever cause for the good of hui
mainly is brought to their attention. And the
new Red Cross organization here is no exception
to this rule. However, there are women in the
community who feel that more good could be ac-
complished, and with less waste of time, if the
work was distributed among them-particuarly
to women having young children at home-to be
done at their leisure moments, and particularly
during the long winter evenings. The suggestion
is passed on to the officers of the organization for
what it is worth, but frankly it seems good sense
to us.

A HANDY LIST FOR
THE HOUSEKEEPER

Figures showing the food supplies
of the world tell us that in 1918
America will more and more be called
on to share with a hungry world what
she can spare from her own board.
This can be done by substituting
other foods not needed for shipping.
Sometimes it is hard to think of that
substitute. Why not prepare list
to hang on thte kitchen cabinet to be
used for ready reference when in
doubt. Let the list below grow with
your experiments.
