tically the same conditions to con-
tend with a. has this county In order to
reclaim and make prolific the vast
area Of desert lands Of this section.
To those contemplating taking advan-

law the following item from the Salt
Lake Tribune will be Of much interest:
The reclamation of several thousand
acres OF desert lands near Milford.

the pumping Of surface waters for ir-
rigation purposes. according to the
statements made 1T . meeting OF the
Commercial Club held In that city re-
Gently. The purpose of the nesting
was to bring to the farmers the prac-
ticai methods OF pumping the waters
onto the lands In an effort to establish
economical plants on their farms.

The wells are bored into the ground
from seventy to ninety feet. and in
that distance three strata Of water

but . faint echo Of its original splen-

Louisbourg was the remnant Of
French power on the Atlantic coast
when the treaty OF Utrecht was sign
ed In 1713. reducing the fortunes Of
Louis XIV to low ebb. From ITO
to 1760 It led a precarious but spec
tscular existence. its magnificence rs

ture of millions Of dollars by the
French government. though millions
were stolen and wasted by dishonest
ofiicials and unhappy officers. whose
only ambition was to get rich and 60

The fortress was imposing. despite
the thievery and Encouragement, and
II required a seven weeks siege by
Colonel Pepperell and his New Eng
landers In 1745 to take II from the
French.
BY one Of those diplomatic Incidents
too plentiful In the history Of the new
world. Louisbourg was handed back
to France In 174S BY the treaty Of
Aix-la- Chapelle. The New England
ers were furious. but ten years later
the British army and navy. with such
rising strateglsts as Amherst and
Wolfe taking part, again laid siege
BY land and sea, and In another cam
paign Of seven weeks recaptured the
stronghold.
The days of the great fortress were
now numbered. The home Of discon.

death warrant in 1760 at the hand OF
George II and Pitt In London. :, So
well was the warrant executed that
for months sailors, sappers and miners
worked until they laid Louisbourg lev

And there 1t remains. MemOrlais

M. f. CHILDREN TO

BALTIMORE, Nd. April 9o.-The
cumulative value Of the humble one
cent piece soon will fnd a practical
demonstration.
The total of sl0,OOO.O0O in pennies
will be contributed by children who
attend the 32,3O2 Sunday. schools Of
the Methodist church in the United
States. That huge sum. raised by
contributions at the rate of one cent
a week from each child. will go far to
swell the fund 10 be used by the mis-
sionary centenary Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. in its world recon
struction program.
Latest statistics show that the en-.
rolIment in Sunday schools Of
Methodism is 1873, ,043. The power Of
the penny. therefore. is obvious when
it is observed that the amount thus
raised will amount 10 about one-tenth
the total Of 100000, 900.
The quota set for the children will
extend across a period Of five years.
so the annual contributions from TINS
source will total approximately
81, 600, 900.
This fund. together with moneys
raised through other avenues Of the
church organization, will be used to
help pay for many undertakings,
which include the building Of orphan

FOUR ADMISSION

amusement, municipal officers on Of

military or naval forces of the United
States when in uniform" All other
persons are subject to the tax, which
is L cent for each 10 cents or frac-
tion thereof Of the price of admission.
Admissions by passes are subject to
the tax. If the pass entities the hold
er to S1.OO seat, he must pay 10
cents The dramatic critic who occu-
pies 81 orchestra chair must pay 20
cents.
The law provides that the tax shall
be paid by the person paying for the
admission, and that places of amuse-
ment shall keep a record Of the
amount of tax collected. Monthly re-
turns and remittances must be made

The penalty for failure to pay or
collect the tax is a fine of not more
than $1,000, and for "wilfully refus-I

Expect International
Labor Report to Affect
Attitude of Congress-

international labor legislation com
mittee in some respects. One of the
international planks is the eight
hour day This is recognized in Gov
ernment work. 1t is not recognized
in all private industry, by any means.
Some talk is heard of extending it to
private industry. but it is doubtful
whether Congress is ready to take
such a step now.
Every worker has the right to
wage adequate to maintain a reason
able standard Of life. having regard
TO the civilization of his time and his
country says the international COM
mittee report.
Means Minimum Wage Law.
This proposition, If carried out in
Legislation, would mean the enact
ment of a minimum wage law. No
doubt, there will be agitation in Con-
gress over such a measure.
Owing to the practical difficulties
and the opposition among conserva-
tive elements in House and Senate, it
is unlikely there will be a minimum
wage law passed in the coming ses-
sion. In fact, it seems improbable
there will be one in the $ew Congress.
The agitation may serve to drive
the country closer to such a law, es-
pecially for women and children.
Also, it will have its effect on State
Legislatures.
In fact, from a labor standpoint. II
is probable the effect of the inter
national committee report will be to
bring about gains at the hands Of
Legislatures quite as important as
from the Federal Government.
Congress will not confine itself to
the international committee report in
considering action for the benefit of
labor. Thus, the report is silent on
housing. Much support exists in Con-
gress for housing legislation for the
benefit of the workers and people
Of small means.

THAT the report Of the international
labor legislation committee, which
vas appointed by the peace conference
spd on which President Gompers. of
Ahs American Federation Of Labor
served, will have no little effect on
the slant which Congress takes when
81 comes to deal with labor problems
IN the extra session and in the regular
ession next winter, is the prediction
befe OF men in touch with conditions.
s That report is being carefully
stDdied by members Of both houses
who are in sympathy with most. or
all, OF the demands OF labor, and
Through such members it is likely to
have influence on the House Commit
lee on Labor and the Senate Commit
tee on Education and Labor.
In a~generaI way those committees
will contain enough personnel either
3n sympathy with labor or convinced
that, as a matter of wisdom, IL is nee
tessary to enact forward-looking labor
saws to make it probable that several
Important measures will be reported
TO the House or in some way written
into law.
Equal Pay For Women.
One of the principles adopted by the
International committee is that equal
pay should be given to women and
men for work Of equal value in guam
Stity and quality.
The War Labor Board in this
country has already recognized this
principle. 1t is likely to be brought
alp before Congress in very exact and
fspecifc fashion by the joint commit
Zee of the House and Senate on the
rselassihcstion Of Government en-
Bloyes.-z
THAT board IN its report will urge
that equal pay for equal work be
allowed women employees OF the Gov
ernment. Congress will be practical
~ obliged to accept that doctrine and
recognize it in law so far as the
Government employees are concerned
and that will tend to force its recog-
Bition in industry.
: Already the joint committee has re-
eeived many complaints from women
4hat they are Disseminated against
~ matter OF salaries as compared
Eith men.
Congress Must Listen.
Z In former years such complaints
might have been ignored by Con-
eress. but today too many Congress
sional districts are controlled by the

Fomen were united on any issue, to

The "all-day dress" appears to have
come to stay, and is dividing honors
with the tailored suit for street, trav-
cling and business wear. 1t is defined
by it's name and is a garment for morn
ing or afternoon wear, which made
it's appearance after the war began to
curtail the supply of tailors, and a
substitute for suits that could be made
by dressmazers had to be promoted.
An example of draped all
day dress is shown in the picture.
1t is made of brown in tricotine,
With a fascinating cascade of folds
formed by draping the material at the
light side, and a long row of round
covered buttons lending interest to the
eft side of the skirt. The very SIM
Die, surplice bodice is gathered in at
he waistline and joined to the skirt
with a piping of the goods. The dress
opens at the right side and long mar
row sash of the material ties here, in
the simplest of loops and the most
casual manner. A piping at the neck
opening would make severe finish If
it were not for fiat silk braid, put on
