There are few enough tOpnotch horses

greater value than those offered by
the tracks Of New York, the Empire

So the determination of Mr. Kilmer to

to the American turf than appears on

HIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
Old Soldier Could Not Fight In Ranks,
But Could Prove He Was Of
Some Use.

A year ago Americans were saying
that this was not an old mans war.
And the old men, many Of whom had
been soldiers In their younger days,
were feeling the same way and suf-
fering over II. too. Old women could
knit, roll bandages, and do hundred
other things quite as well as the young
er women. But what could the old
men dor And because there seemed
to be nothing for them to do they suf-
fered more keenly than most people
knew.
But rs the young men left there be-
gan to be work for the old men. Re
tired farmers were needed to teach
boys how to farm. Retired bankers
were put on Thrift stamp and finance
committees. All carpenters, whether
young or old, were needed. And there
came n,w look-one Of usefulness
and happlness-on the faces of the
old men.
But one of the most patriotic of all
was noted the other day.
I'D like to buy your old rubber ana
rags" he said courteously, "or IL you'd
give 1t to me IL would be still bet
ter"
The woman OF the house glanced out
Mt his push cart which was almost
full OF junk. 'Ill try to find some
thing" she began.
The old mans face was radiant.

In spite of the fact that the British
have some steam.drlyen 2,7O0'ton sub
marines, capable of surface speed
of from % TO ~ knots, the submarine,
as a weapon of war, Is too slow and
too blind when it Is submerged to
be considered serious weapon Of

as to be invisible TO the airscout, and
when It can steam 20 knots submerged,
It will dominate the naval situation.

NThis league, governed by the allied

The farmers of Utah are not alive
to the present labor situation, nor
are they employing returning soldiers
and sailors according to a statement
made by e. ]. Kirkham, Farm Help
Specialist of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, whose Office is at the
Utah Agricultural College. In re-
cent conversation with Utah farm
'er Mr.. Kirkham asked the following
question:: DO you know where you
are goin gto get your farm help this
summer" to which he received the
following answer; .'The labor prob
lem for this year doesn't bother me.
There is plenty of help In the coun-
try; l can pick II up at my own price
at any time l want it," A great
number of farmers in Utah are taking
this same attitude according to Mr..
Kirkham.
Mr.. Kirkham made the following
statement on the present situation:
ut is true that there is an abund-
ance of available labor in the state
at the present time, but the greater
part of this labor will be absorbed
by the biggest road building and in
