ANDERSON DISCUSSES THE
FUTURE OF CEDAR CITY

A. G.. Anderson of Cedar City eX-
poets that about 500 new inhabitants
will be added to the $500 inhabitants
of Cedar City during the coming year.
Last summer, he states, the city grew
so rapidly it was impossible to get
sufficient building material for the
houses planned. The seasons auto
mobile tourists will bring, it is ex-
pected, some 10000 persons through
the town, he declares, over the Arrow
head Trail and since Cedar City is
practically the gateway to all the
scenic wonders of southern Utah, Mr..
Anderson declares that the growth OF
the town is an assured fact. The citi-
zens of the southern Utah town expect
to build a $150,000 hotel, the excava-
tions having already been started, and
and a resort at Puffer lake, 76 miles
away, is now talked Of Mr., Anderson
is manager of the Southern Utah Bee
and Honey company with headquar-
tiers at Cedar City. He has been in

keepers association convention at the

ARE STILL URGING
FOREIGN CHARITY
Pres. Wilson and Secretary Glass
Continue to Urge Huge Bene-
faction on Congress.

Washington, Feb. 17,-President
Wilson and Secretary of the Treasury
Glass are still urging Congress to
grant S15O,000,O0O for foodstuffs for
the peoples of certain parts of Europe
especially for Poland, Austria and
Armenia. Secretary Glass appeared
before the Ways and Means commit
tee to renew arguments for grant
ing this sum and the President has
addressed letter to Secretary Glass
in which he holds that "this prosper
Gus Republic" ought to give the pro-
posed assistance.
What action Congress will take in
the matter is not yet finally deter
mined. Strong opposition to grant
ing more funds to Europe exists in
House and Senate. both among Rapub-
licans and Democrats. For this there
are several weighty reasons. One OF
them is the tremendous burden OF
taxes from which the country is al
ready suffering. Another is lack OF
confidence on the part of Congress IN
the administrative capacity Of the
officials of the administration to sec
to it that the money advanced whe'
Their in cash of credits. would be han

TALLY. Another and very strong rea
son is the fact that while the cost
of living is soaring in this country
and has been soaring for months ant
months the administration has done
nothing effective to prevent 1T ant
shows no signs of doing anything ef
fective and to send more foodstuffs t.
Europe at the public expense would
simply add to the high cost of living
i'm the United States and would be Eel
by the public here both through thu
higher taxes and higher prices TO
the needs of life. Still another rea
son is found in the swollen estimate
for expenditures which the Admins
tration has sent to Congress, though
knowing that a $3,000,000,000 defici

is unquestionably true that If the AID
ministration were showing evidenc
of any disposition whatever to hol
down the demands on Congress ia
general expenditures, there would b
more willingness in Congress to graz

DIXIE POWER COMPANY
EXPLAINS INTERRUPTIONS

AS the Dixie Power Company has
secured many stockholders in Iron
County, we feel they are entitled to
know the cause Of recent unfortunate
interruptions in service.
The failure at midnight on Wednes-
day was caused by an insulator hav-
ing been shot off our line in the hills
south of Enterprise, the current burn
ing the top wire in two, thereby caus-
ing a dead ground.
The storm that was raging at the
time prevented this line from being
cleared up until Thursday afternoon.
During Thursday night an inter-
mittent ground came on, causing
momentary interruptions. By running
from 10 to Is per cent below normal
voltage, we were able to keep current
on until Sunday afternoon when a
complete failure occurred.
The mountain session of the Cedar
Enterprise line was patrolled on Fri
day and Saturday without locating the
leak. During this period the storm
was so severe that men and horses
could hardly face it.
This failure Of an insulator was
what In known ms "pin leak" being
n small puncture in the insulatoi
| where the line wire is tied around it
On large capacity systems this can be
"burnt off" but our station capacity
is not adequate to do this all at once
The result is a leak or current, which
gradually burns the pin until it il
visible.
The bottomless condition of road!
and range contributed greatly to The
slow movement of men.
A single line and station cannot b,
commercially constructed in manneI
that gives continuous service.
This is not case of the old adage
"What can't be cured must be en-
dured" but the modern application OF
"What can't be endured, must b.
cured"
We are striving to get No. 2 plan
completed and the loop line aroun
Pine Mountain completed to the en-
4 that Iron County can be served fror
two directions.
We believe that the large majorit
of our customers realize that whe
service is cut off so is our revenue
plus a very heavy extraordinary e>
pense incurred in restoring service.
! We trust this explanation will b
taken in the spirit given, i. e., not q
excuse for the failures but stat
: ment Of facts.
! Respectfully,
r DIXIE POWER COMPANY.

So says a friend of ours named Velvet Joe.
And he just about hits the nail on the head.
Velvet is made for men who think there's
smoke like real tobacco If you that
sort of man, listen:
Velvet was born in old Kentucky, where
more than one good thing comes from. 1t was
raised carefully any other Kentucky
thoroughbred. But the real secret of Velvets
friendly qualities is its slow natural ageing in
wooden hogsheads. Ageing in the wood
never hurt anything-and least of all, tobacco
And so we say Velvet is good tobacco
nothing or less. 1t runs second to
none
The picture of the pipe on the tin needn't
keep you from rolling jn-dandy cigarette
