SERIOUS BUSINESS
LAW passed by the last State Legislature

A LAW passed by the last State Legislature
makes it district court offense for anyone
to take an automobile or other motor vehicle,
without the consent of the owner, with maxi
mum punishment of year in the county jail and
fine of $780, irrespective of whether it was the
intention of the person taking the car to steal it
or not The practice of helping themselves to
the automobiles of other persons, for the purpose
of "joy riding has apparently grown all too COM
mon throughout the state and evidently the law
makers thought it was time to call halt by the
passage of law that would create an impression
A few convictions under this law will prove an
effectual warning to other offenders, and it is
likely that these little famliarites with the other
fellows property will cease
Last week party of Cedar City boys and girls,
ignorant, nodoubt, of this law, helped themselves
to car belonging to Raymond Haight, and after
keeping it out nearly all night and running two of
the tires off the wheels, left the the hill at
the end of the west lane. Now they are confronted
with very serious charge and may endure severe
punishment for the offense, which is more ag-
gravated one than is common
We are sounding this note of warning to 9TH
ers who might be tempted to commit similar Of

Cedar City is the most-talked-of small city in
Utah at present. she is generally understood to
be one of the most prosperous communicates the
state and it must be great disappointment to
the visitor coming here for the first time to find
that so little attention is being paid to the appear
ance of the pace-that despite the fact that we
have some very creditable buildings the appear
ance is marred by the presence of shacks, weather.
beaten premises which crying aloud for the
application of paint, dilapidated fences and other
unsighty objects.
movement ought to be started by--no mat
ter who-the city council the Commercial club or
the Farm Bureau-any organization having suf-
ficient prestige to put the thing over and being
interested in civic improvements. A committee
should be selected to go over the situation, COM
mencing with Main street, point out in a conserv
ative, reasonable way the more urgent changes
taking the matter up with the city council so far
as they relate to public property, and with the in
dividuals where private property is involved and
gently urge that they be made 1t is impossible
for some persons to do all at once that is needed
for the improvement of their premises, but if
little is taken up and completed at time and the
good work kept going it will soon produce a won
derful Improvement in the appearance of the city.
AS individuals we all mean well, but there are so
many things needed-so many expenses to be met
that unless we are urged along in these matters
they are likely to be neglected. Once the good
work is gotten under way it becomes contagious,
and each person will commence to take inter-
est and later pride in the appearance of his prop
erty, and beautiful neat, clean city will be the
result.
Now, who is going to lead out in the matter?
Well bet ten cents it will be the ladies through
some of their organizations.
Whoever does it, our advice is not to ask too
much at once, as it will have tendency to dis
courage. Get everyone started to work in small
way, and as the results become apparent it will be
easy to get them to respond to larger requests.

\ SERIOUS PLAGUE

W/HEN we read of the plaques of Egypt, and
later of the plague of crickets which threat
ened to annihiate the little struggling colony of
Mormons in the early settlement of this state.
they seem long way off, and are perused with
feeling of Indifference and sangfrod, as well as
touch of indulgence for poor benighted ancestry
which lacked the enlightenment of the present
day. or course these were serious problems with
generation unlearned in the science of modern
agriculture lacking farm bureaus, books and coun-
ty agricultural agents, but they would be impos-
sible, or of negligible Importance now.
So that when are confronted with the fact
that grasshoppers are seriously threatening the
bulk of the grain crop and the second hay crop in
this valley, it makes one sit up and take notice.
From reliable sources learn that this is act
ualy the case Grasshoppers have been more or
less troublesome in various parts of the valley for
two years past but not great deal of attention
has been paid to the matter until recently. To be
sure rather feeble attempt was made last sum-
mer at poisoning in the bottom of the Union field
and through Midvalley, but the action was of too
sporadic and unsystematic nature to make much
impression, and this year the pest has spread from
comparatively small restricted district until it
practically covers the entire valley, particularly
all along the western side.
One farmer relates that on visiting his land
recently he was led to think his alfalfa had been
damaged by the frost, and was turning yellow in
consequence. closer inspection showed the lu-
cerne stems to be literally covered by the hoppers
actually changing the color of the field viewed
from distance Other farmers report similar
conditions, and reports received that the pest
has advanced as far south as Hamilton's Fort and
Kanarra
Poison Them is the advice of County Agent
Espln, who is cooperating as far as possible with
the farmers in the control of the pest but without
close cooperation and concerted action on the
part of the entire farming fraternity of the county
but Indifferent results can be expected Arsenic,
mixed with bran, syrup and the acid of citrus
fruits has been found best for this purpose. The
right proportions and correct formula may be OBJ
tanned from the county agent. A quantity of the
poison and other needed ingredients of the bait
have been ordered, and should meet with ready
sale among the farmers. The cost will approx
mate so cents per acre.
The Farm Bureau should get its membership
together as early as possible and take steps to
control the pest for while it may already be too
late to save great deal of the wheat crop, some
thing may be done for the second cutting of hay,
which is just commencing to grow and at least
the work done now should bear fruits for another
year and insure a better harvest than can be ex-
pected for this season.

CIVIC PRIDE NEEDED

TN the matter of civic pride, Cedar City is not
up to standard, as compared with the best small
cities of the state. To begin with our Main street
through the business section is a positive dis
grace. To be sure we have the cement gutter in
stalled but the street should have been we'll sur
faced with some suitable material and now we
have reached point where, by rights, it should be
paved
But this is only one small matter. On every
side there unsightly objects and offensive ex-
hibits, such old delapidated buildings and fenc-
es, weeds and other Objectionable objects that
ought to be removed. To be sure there is a pros
pect that in the not distant future we may get
rid of the poles from the middle of the street one
thing much needed and for which we will be very
thankful, but it is only a start. A lot Of work
needs doing, both on the public streets and on
private property.

THE addition of another unit to the Cedar
City public school building which will include, be-
sides class rooms, swimming pool, gymnasium
and auditorium, will greatly improve our educa-
tional plant, and will prove great boon to the
youngsters, laying the foundation for stronger,
more rugged physical structures, without which
it is impossible to build an elaborate education in
any line. The addition of this unit will leave the
structure just little out of balance until such
time as the increasing requirements prompt the
addition of the other Leg but the construction,
materials and everything else will harmonic with
the present building and when finally completed
it will be a most harmonious and pleasing struc-
ture, and represents the best ideas we, evolved of
lighting, heating and fire-proolng. Cedar City is
Justly proud of fine school building and school sys
tenn. There is feeling, also, that for city this
size no mistake has been made in adhering to the
two-story type of construction

About Rheumatism

People are learning that it is only
a waste of time and money to take
medicine internally for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and about
ninety-nine out of hundred cases
are one or the other of these varieties.
All that is really necessary to afford
relief is to apply Chamberlain's Lini-
ment freely. Try it. 1t costs but 35
cents per bottle. Large size 60 cents.

Everyone should do all he can to

No one can reasonably hope to do
much when he is half sick a good

low the plain printed directions, and
you will soon be feeling alright and
able to do days work.--Adv.

witching pleasure spots the globe affords, to lay
down his business cares and drink of the cup Of

the trouble is that a lot of us are too poor to pay

FLY time is here. How about those corrals,
pig pens, outhouses and other favorite breeding
places? Are they in a condition for the health
inspector to visit your premises? If not better
get busy at once. A little good work now in the
way of cleaning up, hauling off rubbish and filth
and other wise destroying the flies breeding places
will bear fruit in the freedom from this disease

the screens? Are they all in proper condition

For a Weak Stomach.
