WOOD VERSUS STEEL PROGRAM


Now Mr. Daugherty becomes enthusiastic
construction of wooden ships oil takers to carry
from 5000 to 10000 barrels.
For several years the claim has been made that
wooden ships much a thing of the past
wooden shoes
In the great west the forest wealth and the lum-
ber industry the basis of enormous investments
and the largest industry.
Wooden ships and wooden bridges and wood
should be used in all structural work wherever pos
sible.
The world will use wooden ships for generations
to come and wooden bridges can be built across
streams to outlast STEEL
1t is refreshing to hear Mr.. Daugherty state
a big business man that wood built oil tankers
practical proposition.
Placing ones ear carefully to the ground, faint
rumbngs can be heard of an early drive of the anti
tobacco forces. And to meet force with superior
force, suggest onslaught Of the army of anti
corsets, antirouge, anti-face creams, anti-leg dis
playing skirts, anti-bare backs and breasts anti
hcNing gum, anti-ice creams anti confections and

backed up against the wall and in desperation he will
let out 0 few whoops of wholesome truths On with
the scrap!
Are the morals of this nation in state Of rapid
decline? One is inclined to think so, from the
of disgusting details served up daily by the city
papers, The city circulation of today depends to a
cOnSlQordD0 extent upon amount OF SonSaLlOnaI-

news articles are the last to be read.

Soon now the census figures will be made public.
For the sake Of our reputation as growing COM

twice.
No. food is not scarce in the big cities. You can
always get square meal if you take your bank ac-
count along.
No man can make success in life unless he be-
gins by believing in himself The worlds estimate
of your ability is never higher than your own.
Fortunes not made by loafing on street
corners and making suggestive remarks about wo-
/ men who pass by. But regulations are-of kind.
It may be true that money is the root of all evil
But there's consolation in knowing that we are
all tarred with the same brush.
good way to begin the weeks work is to begin
by working and never admit the possibility of bad
ending.

in my opinion, the soviet government

more true to say that Russia has
need Of the world. The soviet gov
eminent appears to be inclined to
present ultimatums to the world.

We believe that Judge Richards
ex-governor !. Hawley, Col l.. v
Patch, A. B. Hulit and the other well
known supporters Of the state CRANE
breeders association are honorable
men and that the game farm they
are establishing in the Hagerman
valley will not only benefit many
persons of this generation but give
pleasure and profit to succeeding
generations of western Americans.
The objective is to counterfeit the
slow but memorable dying out of the
wild life of America under present
game laws.
Whether for one reason or an
other, this movement is meeting
with apparent opposition from the
state game department, headed by
Otto M. Jones. First the permit was
held up for long enough to prevent
getting animals and fowls to the
farm this early spring, and then was
issued in a very much circumscribed
form. It's wording is guarded and
it's permission limited as tho to cast
grave reflections upon the motives
of the men connected with the move
ment.
We as kali our interested readers
to give it brief examination. 1t
appears elsewhere in this issue. AS
a permit it is about as valuable as
the kaiser's iron crosses.
But all movements of any con-
siderable Importance meet with some
kind of difficulty. They are always
beyond the vision and over the heads
of many persons who can block them
partially. Here is one that aims to
preserve and develop the hundreds
of varieties of disappearing wild
fowl and animals. With such a
source of supply private growers
may enter the field of game breed
ing and add to the nations wealth
in furs and meats. 1t is better to
domesticize wild animals than let
them become extinct, when no power
on earth will be able to restore them.
Real sportsmen, such as those
who are generously supporting the
game breeders association, are true
lovers of wild life and they will not
give up their project because of OBJ
stacles. In fact the movement will
gain strength thru opposition, be-.
cause all men are more or less good
sportsmen with a leaning decidedly
to fair play.-F. C. X.

Can there be any but one from in
telligent educated men in England
and America to this condid, reason
able and moving appeal?
1t is difficult to find anything to
add to what Is said in this admirable
document; it states its case SO somply
and clearly. The men who sign it
are citizens of the intellectual COM
munity of the world, they appeal to
us across the stupid obstacles
created by our politicians and our
royalist and reactionary officials, for
help in the gigantic task they are
attempting not only for Russia, but
for mankind. We must answer with
our warmest greetings and sympa-
thy and the promise of our utmost
help,
But how are we to answer? Our
communications with Russia are
stifled Our foreign office officials
are not so much public servants as
appears in the letter box thru which
our letters must pass to the men Of
Russia.

Within two days rain. began to fall
and continued to fall every few days
until a total of six inches fell up to

"The fact that the commercial
club of Ephrata became interested
in Mr.. Hatfield's proposition made
it possible to guarantee $4,000 to
Mr.. Hatfield. He is to arrive at
Ephrata next Tuesday to begin the
construction of towers and other
equipment necessary.

OF course, we should respond to
this appeal. 1t is disgrace to our
diplomacy that it should have been
necessary to make it. Our policy so
far has been one of i'll bred personal
uppishness to Mr.. Litvinoff (the
soviet ambassador who was expelled
from England and is now right hand
