LIVESTOCK LOSS

Losses OF livestock from disease
on the national forests OF the inter
mountain district during 1919 am
oanted to 254 head OF cattle. five
horses and 1884 sheep. These figures
compiled from breports of tho forest
supervisors show decrease In cali!c
and horse losses OF 10 head and an
increase OF $50 head OF sheep over
the 1918 figures. The heaviest indi-
vidual loss was that of 500 head of
sheep in the Humboldt forest in Ne
vsda. from Blue ybcg and snotty nose.
Poisonous plants took toll OF
252S cattle. 81 horses and J917
sheep Slightly fewer cattle and
horses were the victims OF poisonous

HE KEEPS US OUT OF SUGAR

Alfred W. Mccain writing in the New

ten million ollars directly to the cost of
living for the American people. The SUI

the Cuban sugar crop of four million tons
at 6l.. cents per pound last August. Pres

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

When the wholesaler raises his product
a few cents to the retailer, the latter rails
es a few cents and the custOmG, accepts
the explanation and is satisfied. When
the laborers explains to his employer that
groceries and clothing cost him more and
he will have to have higher wages to get
Lbv. the employer takes it as an accepted
&act and raises wages without complain
|hg. The retailer in every line OF business
increases prices-simply because the
Wholesaler or producer force him to Go
,1oEand the public pays it and takes 1t as
"a pure business proposition.
But let the editor of your newspaper
ask for an extra fifty cents on the veal
a mere matter of less than cent week
and YOU hear complaint Let him ask
for few more cents an inch on advertls-
ing and the retailer, the same man who
has raised his price to meet increased
costs declares he cant understand it."
Don't you, good people of Logan, know
that paper is scare and harder to get
than it was year ago? That uinter'a
ink. type metal, wages and everything
that enters into the production of a news
Daper are from 40 to so per cent higher
THAN eve.? Why suppose that everything
else goes up in price but printing mater
ial. And why suppose that the editor IS
still buying food and clothing at the same
price he did before the war? Look at tbs
thing in sensible light. Quit imagining
that the newspaper-the one institution
that has the individual interests Of every
citizen in this community at heart-c;n
exist today as cheaply as it did even one
Year ago. And then try to remember
That if newspaper rates had increased in
t.oportion to everything else you'd be
paying twice as much as you did wear

USING WIDE TIRES

Any suggestion that may be offered
these days for either improving the roads
around Logan or keeping them from
growing any worse than they are is gen..
orally welcomed. For we have been in
the mud too long for our own good, and
if there is a possible chance to better
conditions we are certainly ready to well
come it with open arms.
In conversation with several of our ru-
raj friends we are led to believe that wild
er tires on vehicles used in this section of
the country would go long way toward
solving the problem. The narrow the
mires deeply along about this season of
the year land the next vehicle that follows
cuts that rut little deeper. And when
the spring thaws are over and the frost
is again out of the ground we have road
so full of ridges and ruts that it is in bad
shape throughout the entire summer
Men in position tot know say wide tires
on all horse drawn vehicles would do away
with this to large extent.
Again it is suggested that if autoists
would use all the road instead of following
the track of the hundreds who have gone
before, that would serve to keep the road
bed mdce uniform and compact And it
would not be long until better time coul9
be made and saving in tires accom-
plished. But merely making suggestions
isn't going to make for better roads-we
have got to act on those suggestions.
Other communities keep their roads in
good shape by using them sensibly, 50 let
us tty the same thing in this section for
awhile and see if it isn't worth something
to both town and country alike.

damage was caused by a fire which
swept the first floor Of the feather
curing establishment of Joseph Colds,

o'clock this morning.
The fire. which started in the first

spark from a gas engine falling on a
pile of oily cloths. 1t was discovered by
James Smith, n negro employc, who
turned in the alarm. Before the blaze
was put under control, it spread to the
second floor. where a stock room was

The Illinois Coal Situation.

The danger of another coal famine is ac-
centuated by two perils. The lack of coal
cars and the old fight between Harrington and
Lewis. Added to that is the objection to re-
tention Of government control under the Lever
act, which. Of course, will have more or less
Importance in the presidential campaign. 1t is
possible that the car shortage may be relieved
by priority order at the expense of other
industries.
The fight between the organization leaders
is not SO easily settled. harrington says he
lost out in the last settlement, and will fight
for his place by insisting on an increase in
wages. Meanwhile. the operators, desiring to
be rid of government control insist that the
government take full charge or turn the con-
t-o. back to the private auspices.
It is situation which offers all sorts OF
possibilities. and VIII cause the coal consumer

With tl1er Editors
Publicity and Candidates.
peoria Starr

When the frame work Of our constitution
was being built years ago there we're some
men Of importance and influence who opposed
popular elections because, as one man stated,
the people have no way Of knowing the char
acter and qualifications Of the candidates"
There was serious discussion Of this argument
and at one time the work Of the government
piodeers was threatened with discord because
leaders could not agree on popular elections.
Whatever arguments there may have been
years ago against popular elections on the
ground that the people had no way Of knowing
the charactsr and qualifications of the candi-
dates, these arguments do not hold now.
Two things have conspired to give the peo-
Pile the facts about candidates. First. we have
two political parties and each party loses no
opportunity to unearth any lack of character
or bad character on the part Of candidates in
the other fold. Second, we have newspapers
which. as never before in the nations history,
print the news. And If Mr.. Cox or Mr.. Hard
ing have any bad traits or II they are not quail
fed to serve as president, the people will be
DO informed hundreds Of times.
Publicity is now recognized as one Of the
greatest aids Of good government.
