ROAD TO ZION CANYON
is VERY MUCH IMPROVED

The editor of The Record had &C.
casion the first of this week to travel
the new stretch of road between To-
querville and Virgin, in the direction
Of Zion Canyon, and found it to be
a very great improvement over the
one heretofore in use. 1t takes the
place of the old Twist, and with a
few days more work. which is now
under way, it will be in first class con-
dition. The improvement will be APP
preciated keenly by tourists to the
Monument this season.

SOCIAL PARASITES

Cedar City, Utah, May /, 1919.
Editor Record.-"Hugely stupid So
cially" is the expression used by a
good many in conveying the disgust
they have for the actions of quite a
number of our young men. If any
thing in a social way is given these
days, other than public dance, it is
the girls who give it. And where there
is a good supply of refreshments and
entertainment provided with no cost
to the boys, they respond to an in
vitation wonderfully well-yes, they
will even take a partner, when asked
to, otherwise it would never occur to
them that such thing was proper,

POINTS REGARDING
TRANSFORMING
By DR.. {. NJ. Merrill, Horticultural
of the Utah Az. College.

The season is at hand when grow
ers will soon transplant to the open
ground plants that have been grown
in boxes or flats in the house or in
the greenhouse or hotbed. The extent
Of this type of work is growing each
year and hence it is important that
the transplanting be done properly.
Before removing the plants from
the seeded the soil should be thor
oughly moistened so that it will ad-
here to the roots. At the best some
of the fine root hairs are bound to be
broken off in the transplanting oper-
alton. II the soil is not moistened II
does not adhere to the ROOTS SO. well
and by exposure 10 the dry air many
of the tender root hairs are injured
so that after being set in their per-
manent place they are unable to con-
tinue their function of supplying the
plant with plant-food and moisture
from the soil
Because of the fact that many root
hairs and small roots are broken off
in transplanting, it is often desirable
especially with Strawberries, cabbage,
cauliflower, kale, etc, to reduce the
leaf area correspondingly and thus
lessen the chances Of the top evapor-
ating off more water than the roots
system can supply.
A third point pertains to the neces-
sity of pressing the soil firmly about
the roots after transplanting. Too
often the top soil is firmed while the
soil lower down is not pressed up well
against the roots.
Paying attention to such seemingly
unimportant points as these often
means the difference between success
and failure.

 This constitution (of the ieaoue) drawn by the hands of European di piomats, ignored the fact that we live under the guidance Of written conEtitution.
 Read section 8 of the constitution granting the powers to congress and you will be convinced.
 A provision is made in tho present draft of the league constitution to control the labor question. Read this provision carefully, and you will find it contains teeth" Does that mean that an attempt will be made to raise the price of labor all over the world, or to lower the price of our labor to a world standard.
 Let US read carefully all the pro visions in this so-called constitution of league before we indorse it.

Make terms for Germany ! ans wer, jointly with the allies, and wheg Germany agrees with them, put it in the form Of treats; make and enforce such terms that Ger many will be powerless to again nH this generatio!t and generations to follow. let Europe settle its own questions and wars, and let us move on in the even tenor of our way; hold fast to the Monroe doctrine hands off the Americas by Europe, and we will keep hands off Europe, so long as war is not made upon US. If a nation makes war upon us, show them the mailed fist of man hood prepared by universal training.
 Harry, it's folly for US to say we went to war against Germany from altruistic motives. Wilson said i've wrre too proud to fight" even after the Lusitana was sunk.
 We went to war with Germany be cause Germany made war on US, and the American pople would sub nit no longer. Now let US not quit till the job is finished, but let US be careful and not be drawn off ehas ing Utopian ideas. Let US keep our feet upon earth, building nation as like none before, ans finally by pre- ceot and example rule the earth.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 FROM PIONEERS VIEW

League of nations discussed by Ezra Mseksr in letter to grandson and pu blished in P.-i.
 Rev. H. S. Tempieton, Olympia, Wash.
 My dear Grandson: In our brief conversation yesterday the fact dew eloped you favored & league of na tions" and inclined to indorse the draft, or constitution, as it is called put out by the peace council now as- sembied at Parie. ..-e- |. am not in favor of it 9s now pr sented, ard ln fact cannot cay favor any league. though treaty with the allied nations is, Of course, desirable. if we enter into a league. We are ir- rsveeably fastened and cannot with draw, ns moro than ons of the states of this nation can witrdraw. 4 league fs confederation; 6 confederation is "an alliance Of states prsviousiy in dependent" We cannot enter a league of nations without surrendering our right to govern ourselves by the votes of our free people; in word, surren- dor cur Independence and place our selves as ward under the care of eighteen or more nations, each with one vote, while we would have one --1s 10 one.
 This to my mind would be very dangerous experiment.
 Arc you willing?
 Some people favor the present draft because, as they say, "1t is without teeth" If it's without teeth, that is no way to enforce it's mandates-thn it's { sham, a deeeit--worse, 5 fraud. But it has teeth. Let us examine 6 little.
 In either case, arc you willing?
 One provision requires that all ques tions between league nations must be submitted to arbitration; mind you, all with no exceptions. Suppose Japan would raise the question of the right : Of her citizens to emigrate freely tc the United States ,or any oher nation however undesirable, our hands are bound; we must let the fs nations de eide.
 Are you willing?
 Suppose Villa or any irresponsible party across the border line in Mexico should again make war against us and suddenly withdraw. Are our hands to be tied till we can hear from the con. tral government in Europe, the great council of the league, before we can take action against a government that either could not or would not prevent such outraees7
 Are you wlllinoa
 According to the present draft of the league constitution, demand that the United States must make war npon any nation on earth may be made as any time ,and such sn order must be ebeyed. if we sIgn the league agree ment.
 Are you wIlling7
 would say there would be "teeth" In thls provision, were It not that the whole provision Is contrary to the let ter and splrit Of our constitution, that the war-makino power rests In congress and that eongress cannot delegate thls power, hence the provision, instead Of containing "tseth,' Is simply s bare faced fraud.
 Are you willing that this nation be . party to thls fraud7
 Of course you know 1 am not com. pstent to pass upon constifutionSl questions, but if you will read Sen ator vardamann's speech in the sen ate. reported in tho Congressional Record os February 1s, you will dis cover and be convinced that many
