THE EVOLUTION
OF THE BARBER.

The spirit of modern hustle invades
even the barber shop, once regarded
as a pleasant center of neighborhood
gossip and leisurely conversation.
1t is characteristic of these rapid
times that they are holding speed con-
tests in barbering. One noted cham
pion at Boston the other day shaved
a man and cut his hair in six minutes.
Is seconds. And the occupant Of the
chair was not reported to have carried
away a scratch.
The old time shop never considered
human time as valuable. The shears
artist sought to make his place ~
tractive by his pleasant talk. BARRIERS
with reputation as conversational
lists were places Of resort for many
miles around.
The old fashioned barber cherished
the title "tonsorial artist" somewhat
seriously. Following his ideals of
masculine beauty, he would plaster a
mans forelock in a sweeping curve
nearly down to the eyes. Thus
adorned the town Adonis would go
forth in some glory for his conquests.
The modern barber does not depend
for business on his personal charm.
The speed some of the fluze clippers
show on a Saturday night might ap-
proach the record quoted above. A
clean, shiny shop and prompt service
are what count now.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

Good citizenship requires first, that
the people keep themselves thorough
ly informed in regard to the record
and claims of candidates and parties
1t pays to study carefully the politi-
cal information and discussion print
ed in the newspapers.
The Oxford Eagle promises it's
hearty cooperation in this work of
political education. 1t will during
the campaign, as always, gives its
readers full reports of all political
developments.
Good citizenship requires each voter
to go to the polls at every primary
and election. When there is full
vote, the politicians find it difficult
to work schemes against the interest
of the people.
The Oxford Eagle is shortly to be-
gin printing series of Editorial
Feature Articles showing it's readers
how they can help the cause of good
Government. 1t will point out prac-
tees and popular habits that make
government costly and inefficient.
It will also invite candidates to use
The Oxford Eagle for political adj
vertising, as the cleanest and most
effective way to conduct canvass.

THE OLD WORLD.

The vital question in the presidential
election is this Is the world to con-
tinue along the same lines as before
the war? Is business still to be a
soulless machine? Are the considera-
lions of humanity to be sacrificed to
the dollar? Is the advance of the
people, their attainment of higher
and better life to be the dominant
purpose? Or is mere material pros
perity for the so called business in
terests," to be the governing aim?
There are many people who have
learned nothing out of the war and
the turmoil that has followed it. To
them the world is full Of irrational
unrest. They have always been COM
Portable themselves. Therefore they
are we'll satisfied with existing condi-
tions. They do not see why other
people should not be satisfied also.
The war let loose hopes and ambi-
tions on the part of the masses for
better conditions of living.
The world full of demands to-day
for new social justice. Many OF
these demands are chimerical in de-
tail. But they are right at least in
the feeling that false standards of
wealth and success should no longer
be tolerated. Some fairer distribu-
ton of wealth must be established,
some means taken to give the masses
of the people fairer chance in life.
The trouble with the Republican
party is that it's dominating leaders
have always been men who wanted
things to go along about as they have
in the past. They do not recognize
the existence of great social evils.
They see no need of important
changes. They have no program for
the removal of poverty, or for better
opportunities for the mass of the peo-
pie. That is why those who desire
humanitarian progress, the subordin-
alton of the dollar to the man, should
support the Democratic party, which
has clearer perception of the spirit
of the hour.

The Legislators who propose NOV
ing the University from Oxford to
Jackson are catching it hot and heavy
from the press of the State, and
rightly so, as there is no necessity OF
such a heavy cost to the State at
this time. Good business judgment
would suggest as little unnecessary
cost to the State as possible during
these unsettled times. Let's wait and
see if the high prices Of the present
are permanent or not.-Wlnston
County Journal.

REMOVAL OF UNIVERSITY TO
JACKSON.

There seems to be pretty we'll or
gained plan to remove the State I'm
iversity to Jackson, and the Jackson
boosters are keeping the removal iron
hot.
At this distance it looks like the
plan will fail, and we are quite sure it
should fail, as the cost of removal will
foot up something like three million
dollars as starter.
True the buildings, at least some
of them, need repairing at the Univer-
sity, but that is much easier than
putting up new buildings at time
when building material is SO high.
It is to be hoped the Legislature
will turn a deaf ear to this removal
proposition.
Another change is asked for the In
dustrial Institute and College. They
want the Industrial left off and the
institution called The Woman's Col
lege. This, too, had better be left
alone, as the College is doing great
work and some fthe highest types
of womanhood the State has ever
produced are the product Of that Col
lege.
Besides. if a industrial education
was good for the girls in 1884, when.
tie sei.ool was organized, certainly it
is needed now.-Kosciusko Star
Herald.

THE COTTON MARKET.

The feature of the past week has
been heavy spot sales, largely for ex-
port business, in nearly all the cotton
centers. Reports from eight such
cities shows sales Of 10000 bales as
compared with $4,000 last year. This
is almost double the sales Of the pre-
ceding week. Recent indications are
for a more general demand at some
what higher basis.
Prices have been somewhat stimu-
lated, due largely to strong demand
from English buyers, based in part on
their fear of another railroad tie-up
in that country. French, Italian,
japanese and American buyers have
bought considerably.
Recent rumors have it that Ger
many is seeking to make arrangements
to buy 100000 bales of cotton
While cotton men seem to regard such
a development at present as imprOb-
able, it would be a bullish factor if
Germany, after her five years absence
from the market, came in and bought
even $4,000 bales.
Exports are much increased. The
total to date since August /, is g.
O85,O00 bales against 2,141, 900 yeal
ago. This indicates rapid return to
the pre-war consumption of cotton
The large activity of American mills
suggests also very heavy consump-
ton in this country.
1t has generally been assumed that
there will be no actual scarcity of
cotton before another crop can be pro-
duced. But from the inroads already
made, it seems probable that the corp
fthis year must be much larger than
that of last, to avoid a famine in
cotton.
Heavy rains have fallen over con-
siderable portion of the south, putting
an end in many sections to prospects
for early preliminary farm work.
They have intefrefed with the gather
ing of the portion of the crop yet in
the fields, amounting to 10 to 25 per
cent. in some localities. Farm work
over large section of the cotton area
will make an exceptionally late start
this spring.
Professor John A. Todd, a British
cotton expert, recently predicted that
the scarcity of cotton would increase
as the ability t consume it is re-
covered. He thinks the scarcity is like
ly to continue 10 years. He favors
assuring the cotton grower a reason
able price to cover cost of production,
and encourage him to grow an i'm
proved product.

The people of Lafayette county

The people of Lafayette county
would like to know how the old
county is doing anyhow. Who knows
the financial condition of the county ?
Who knows the financial condition OF
the city of Oxford? Who knows all
about the peace treaty? If the news
papers of the country were put out
Of existence then the bosses would
soon have everything their own way.
1t is natural for some people to want
to keep the masses in total ignorance,
but they cannot do it so long as the
newspapers are allowed to exist.

The University is not likely to be
moved to Jackson. If it is moved at
all it will go to some other town be-
sides Jackson. 1t is very foolish in
the person who should suggest such.

RELIEF FROM ASSESSMENT
WORK SOUGHT FOR MINERS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 49,
Senators from Western States have
introduced bills further waving the
requirements for assessment work on
mining claims in the United States for
the first six months of 1921, aud pro-
viding that in the future the work re-
quired 10 be done annually ON mining
claims shall be performed during the
calendar year-thnt Is 20 say, the year
shall run from July LIST until the june
3Oth following. As the law nov stands,
mining claimants for one reason or
another are frequently unable TO per-
form the necessary development work
during the summer months, and after
the winter sets in they are not able 10
accomplish anything on their claims
because Of Indictment weather, parli-
eularly in the mountain districts. II
is the belief that if the year begins
and ends in midsummer the mining
applicant will be better able 10 meet
the requirements.

II. II. Blood, member of the public
utilities commission Of Utah, has re-
turned from a trip to Price and other
points in Carbon county, where
number Of matters received his atten-
ton, says last Mondays Salt Lake
Tribune. Among these was a formal
hearing on the application of Baxter
Bros. for permission 10 continue the
service between Price and Myton,
formerly operated by J. S. Frontje
now deceased The application was
protested by one Chris Anderson, who
Operates an automobile line from the
Uintah Basin by another route, but
Anderson withdrew his objections
after hearing the testimony Of Baxter
Bros.
Blood also Investigated the informal
complaint Of John Petitti of Watts
that he was unable to get service from
the Eastern Utah Telephone company.
Petiti is a merchant at that camp,
but the company protested that the
line, which serves not only Watts and
the Lion Coal company, but also the
camps around Scofield, was already
overloaded. The matter was adjusted
by the agreement Of the telephone
company TO install at once n booth and
n pay station In n building not far
from the Potitti store. Within about
n fortnight the company promises 10
install another circuit from Price 10
Watts, giving this camp n complete
service and that around Scofield an
independent line. All the lines are
toll lines.
Blood conducted hearing ut the
suggestion Of the Price Commercial
club looking 10 the giving Of better
connection between the Price 20 Hell
per stage line and that from Helper
up Spring Canyon. The owners prom
ised to get together TO see II the mat.
ter could not be arranged 10 the salts
faction OF the public. At this hearing
Il was brought oui that the Carbon
county seat is becoming an important
automobile stage line center Routes
radiate from IL into the Uintah Basin,
and also into Emery county ms well as
20 several different coal camps.
Price business interests suggested
that the time has come when, Ia the
interest Of public convenience, these
lines take on a union station in Price,
instead of, as now, az points widely
apart in the city. Blood promised tho
support of the utilities commission IN
any arrangement seeking 10 accomp-
lish such an end that might be found
possible.

late "a definite and sane policy for
presentation to congress in IL 'quiet

Sidered scheme for financing amy plan
it proposed.
Discussing the farm settlement pro-
posal, the witness said that in making
IN estimate some months he had
found that about 35O,OOO former SOL

While lie approved in principle u
land settlement scheme. Colonel Jones
said it should not be confined to vu-
cant public lands or remote cutover
lands in the south and west, but that
vacant lands in the vicinity of the
cities should be condemned and pur-
chased for soldier use.

Won Bernstorff said he had warned
against any attempt to achieve a
revision Of the treaty through nego-

lied, as a dangerous Illusion which
was calculated to expose Germany to
the charge that she was intriguing.
