BORN OF WAR

Il 10 difficult yet to value accurately
or In some instances to perceive all
the war has brought to our national
life or pruned from It. The things
We think little now may appear to
posterity the greatest. The Thrift
Stamp idea seems to be one of these.
Originated az war emergency meas

to the common sense Of America. and
may yet shape the destiny Of the
nation.
II is patent, now that the war 10
over. that the Thrift Stamp has come
TO stay. II we get nothing else out OF
the war but the habit OF saving, which
begets the corollary simple living. We
will have reaped the full fruit of the
war. For a thrifty democracy is q
firm democracy. potent democracy.
democracy strong enough to pre-
serve itself.
A man who saves is q better citizen
than the man who does not save. He
becomes q stakeholder In his govern.
ment and he Is jealous for the vel
fare of that government in war and
in peace. In war he will fight for II
with his life. In peace he will protect
Il from those who would tear down.
As America saves from this day ON

In the eyes OF mankind. "A bank &C.

The Thrift and War Savings Stamp
idea is freighted with mighty change
for the better In our national life.
The Thrift Stamp is backed by the
United States government. Without
doubt II Is the greatest investment
ever offered and 1t is in such q form
that every American. big and little,
can take advantage o It.

FORMER GARY MAN
EXPLAINS SYSTEM

"Gary is the only place where boys,
after spending eight hours in a day
school, beg to be allowed to attend
night school," This is the declaration
of Superintendent John M. Mills of
the Granite School District in talk
given last Tuesday on the campus of
the University Of Utah.
"The Gary system Is the most dem
ocratic system in the world" he went
on to explain. "This school is the one
place where the boy does not need to
run away from school to swim; he
needs only run to school. There isn't
a child in Gary that is afraid Of any
thing, he dare even go up and talk to
the teacher face to face. This school
was built for the children; the child
rem are not made to fit the school.
Boys are not bounded because they
fail to fit into place, blu, place is
made for them, if one is not there"
Gary has adopted unique credit
system. There are seventeen kinds of
industrial work taught, each by
master, according to Supt. Mills. The
boys put on their painters clothes
and paint, and at the end of the hour
the master pays them with school
money. If good hours work has
been done, the boy receives sixty
cents. If he receives only twenty he
knows that he has failed. The mon
ey is then taken to the school bank
and deposited, the total deposit for
such work being eighty dollars. The
money is finally withdrawn and paid
for credit in the course.
"The one rgeat boost for the Gary
system is that it not only fits it's boys
md girls for life but that more than
fifty per cent Of the graduates pur-
sue higher education in order to be
better prepared. This record is en-
iirely unique, one not held by any
other school SYSTEM" concluded the
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1919-02-28

PROTECT CATTLE IN WINTER
Beef Steers Should Be Kept In Dry
Lot and Provided With Wind
break Of Some Kind.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
During the winter beef steers should
be kept in dry lot and provided with
a windbreak from the north or given
free access to an open shed. In some
sections of the South weather condi-
lions alone may not justify open sheds,
but when the saving of feed and ma
nure and the protection Of pastures
from tramping in wet weather are con-
sidered such sheds will prove to be
profitable investments. Breeding ami
mails may require even more protection
during severe weather than an open
shed would provide.

Sheep are extremely valuable as

THE LAST DRIVE
----By----
BAD LANDS POET

The fourteenth day Of last July,
THE last drive of the Huns,
They met in deadly combat
With Division Ninety-one
They came forward madly slashing
But the Yanks checked their advance
They met new sword flashing
On the battle fields Of France.
They fought with desperation
The Yankee lines to break
They'd woke up the wrong nation,
They discovered their mistake,
They poured in achievements,
Their shattered lines to fill
But found they could not hold against
The sword Of Bunker Hill.
When the Yankees saw them waver,
They ew at those maddened Huns
And with the gun and sabre
Soon had them on the run
They drove them from the trenches
Where bullets flew like hail,
And everywhere the Dutchmen went,
The Yank was on his trail.
They met their deadly gases
They felt their shells explode
They drove their German masses
From their underground abode.
They drove them out Of Verdun
And cleared them from Milhiel
And when they captured Sedan
The German leaders squealed.
The brutal beast of Berlin
Has surely ceased to reign,
He's languishing in Holland
He will never rule again.
He spread his wreck and ruin
Out over land and sea,
Revolution is a brewing now
All over Germany.
That famous Yankee army
Who broke the Prussian line
Are doing police duty
Keeping watch upon the Rhine,
They may be home in April
If circumstances clears,
If they don't come by November
They may not come in years.
They say the war is ended,
But will tell you this
You need not feel offended
1t may not be amiss.
II you don't find the peace yoa seel
Yau need not be alarmed
The world has never yet had peace
With ten million under arms.
| Bad Lands Poet, Vernal, Utah.

Sheep Are Valuable Weed Destroyers.

Waste Places Clean.

is down and they will trim up the
lower blades of the corn, but they will
not "ride" the stalks down as hogs do.
The benefit which they thus render Is
much greater than the damage they
do.
Woven wire fence is convenient for
combining sheep to specified areas, es-
pecially when this area is In corn,
since the cornstalks serve very well
as posts to which to tie the wire net
ting. Corner posts should, Of course,
be more substantial.
Sheep may be used also to destroy
weeds in fields that are not planted
In crops. along roadways, and in waste
places. thus tending to clean up the
whole place and reduce the weed seeds
that may be blown In or tracked In on
cultivated fields. On the ordinary
farm sheep are better than goats for
this purpose, since they are more cas-
lily confined.

SEES REACTIONARY
BUSINESS SPIRIT
Secretary of the Treasury Deplores
Lack of Confidence and Optimism
Which Is Unwaranted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ia
thing difficult of understanding is the
reactionary spirit which,in some quar-
ters, seems to have seized hold Of
American business. 1t manifests it.
self in a gloomy and pessimistic view
Of the future in no way justified by
conditions present or discernible, and
in a disposition to cavil at the further
expenditures the government is I'M
der the necessity Of making in order
TO liquidate the war.
Instead of days Of dark foreboding,
these should be days of rejoicing, Of
confidence and Of high resolve. Amer
lea is least injured of any Of the ma
tons which took active part in the
death grapple with autocracy on the
soil of France and Flanders. Our
fields have not been devastated, our
homes and factories have not been
razed, famine does not stalk among
us. In all material things the nation
Is richer and stronger than it was
before we went to war.
Is the American spirit less courage
GUS than is the spirit Of the French
or Of the Belgians? France, sorrow
ing, but undaunted, has set about to
repair the wreck the ruthless invader
wrought, and refuses to view the fu-
ture darkly. Belgian, stripped of all
save honor, looks forward to the day
when greater nation will arise on
the ruins Of the old. Shall America,
then, bend and groan under the mag
inings of q burden which it should
bear lightly, if felt at all?
Sight never should be lost Of the
fact that Americas war debt is sub
stantially all owed to the American
people. Money to meet the interest
charges on it and eventually to pay
Off the principal will flow back to the
sources whence it came. A national
debt Of this character is not a bur-
den to cripple future business.
It should be kept in mind, also, that
the issues Of Liberty Bonds were paid
for, or are being paid for, almost en-
tirely by the current savings Of the
people. There was no impairment Of
the capital which had accumulated
from the savings of former years
More capital is available today fol
the financing of legitimate business
than ever before in the history O.
the nation. Moreover, it must be re
membered for at least two years pri.
or to the entrance Of this country into
war American business enjoyed UNI
precedented prosperity with enormous
profits, untaxed beyond the norma
levies.
In affecting the savings by means
Of which they bought Liberty Bonds
the benefits of which will be felt b!
our children and our children's child
rem. The billion-dollar indemnit!
which Bismarck levied in the belle
that it would keep France prostrat,
rcjuvinated France and enabled hel
TO become the chief stumbling blocl
to Germany's dream of world do
minion. So Americas war debt, /
rightly viewed and rightly handled
should make for the contentment an,
prosperity of our people. To see il
it an obstacle to business progress il
to see ghosts and hobgoblins and 9th
er. things which, have no existenc,
outside the realms Of fancy.
