WE APOLOGIZE MUCHLY

We made statment last issue and
did not make it strong enough. We
said it cost $3.50 mile per year to
keep the earth roads of Utah county
repaired. On Saturday evening we
met Mr.. Ginger of Aberdeen, who in
formed us that he had had charge
and personal knowledge of some of
that road work between Lehi and
Payson, and that it cost $500 per
mile per year, and that the annual
expenditure Of $1450 did not improve
the condition. They are now con-
vinced that hard surfaced roads are
necessary
They made their repairs by putting
on fine gravel and oil or tarvia, and
the swift car travel threw it out and
the heavy travel cut the road to
pieces.

ANARCHISTS TO BE DEPoRTED.
Will Rid Country Of Aliens With
Criminal Records.


Chicago.-A cleanup to rid the coun
try of aliens with criminal records OF
who are regarded as a menace to the
nation, is under way. Within few
days another carload of undesirables
will leave Chicago to be shipped back
to the countries from whence they
came.
immigration officials made this
known Monday as the fifty-four aliens,
hurried through Chicago Sunday en-
route back to Europe under heavy
guard, was nearing New York.
1.-THE cleanup is under way and will
be thorough" an immigration official
said. "There are nearly score In
Chicago jails now who will be de-
ported out of the country within a few
days. Aliens who get into the country
under false pretenses and then attempt
to stir up trouble with their prOpa-
ganda will find it hard pickings from
now ON. II this country doesn't suit
them the government has a very effec-
tive way of. helping them into more
congenial climes."
Locally the work is under the direc-
ton of Harry r. Lands, inspector OF
immigration. Cooperating with the
police department large number OF
anarchists have been quietly netted
within the last several months and
given hearings. A large number Of
these are being held in Jail awaiting
an opportune time to load them on
cars and shipping them, out Of the
country. y

SOME STRANGE
INVESTMENTS

1t is about time for another fake
investment proposition to be brought
to the attention of the people of our
county, and they usually take some
old idea and dress it up in new
clothes to give it some pulling power.
A review Of what was done ten or
twenty years ago to separate people
from their money usually makes in
teresting reading, and we offer some
reflections.
Wyoming Oil
Stock
Going back from recent events we
have the investments in oil stock in
Wyoming couple of years ago, none
of which have brought any returns.
Then there were the Nevada mines
that wiped up lot of money and q
few good farms about Blackfoot.
Farmers Account
Books
County rights for selling farmers
complete account books are un-
pleasant memories for a good many
persons who are still sweating to get
their money back thru. other sources.
Washing Machine
Rights
Some time before that there were
chances to make fortunes selling
washing machines, and a number of
men sold or moragaged their homes
to buy the privilege of going out to
buy and sell washers that nobody
but a trained expert salesman could
make a sale Of. 1t is needless to say
that the man who knew nothing at
all of the arts of selling, made a
failure and lost his home.

EUCALYPTIS AND
COIL STEEL

About ten years ago people bought

invested in coil steel bicycle tires

Rubber Stock and
ThOrnless
Fifteen years ago it was rubber
stock and thornless cactus that were
the rage. All the sagebrush in
Western America was to be harvested
and made into rubber and all the
cactus in arid America was to be in
oculated with the thornless germs
and turn to beef and mutton.

Liquid Air
For Ice

Twenty years ago liquid air was
very popular, especially in the south
and southwest. Liquid air was about
as hard to understand as absent
treatment. AS nearly as we can re-
call, it. was for use in refrigerators
and refrigerator cars to take the
place of ice. BY useing it the eli
mate of a refrigat0r car could be
kept north temperate while the train
crept across the southern deserts
and sultry valleys from the orange
groves of San Bernardino to the
Jersey shore, and be relieved of the
cost of icing at dozen cities en-
route, and be lighter to haul by q
few tons. Liquid air was great stun
while it lasted, and it may still be
good, but we don't hear anything
about it,.

Something new is bound to come
along, maybe tomorrow, to swOp
even up for our liberty bonds. Let's
talk it over frankly with our neigh
bors and bankers before we bite.
They will help us to see the trap in
the deal. Don't forget that the pro-
motor invariably magnifies his en-
terprise and casts a charm about his
deal that sprus us to close the bar
gain before anybody else knows it..
That is the secret of his power and
when that is thrown off we see the
hole in the doughnut.

Absent Treatment
of Fractures

OF FRACTURES
Twenty-Five years ago absent
treatment was right. 1t was proven
that cures were being effected by
sitting In the sick room and concen-
trating something on the patient
Then somebody reasoned that dis

three feet, three yards, three
blocks were all the same, SO treat

office without going to the house.
Two patients suffering from the same
thing could be treated at a time in
this way. and Chicago parties adj
vertised to treat the afflicted any
where in the United States or Can
ada in that way. Thousands re-
sponded, were classified to be lin

o'clock 11.30, and SO on according

doctor made money and believed in
