HAS GREATEST HOPE FOR
NEW HOPE PROPOSITION

After thorough inspection of the
affairs of the Now Hope irrigation

attorney general, h back in Salt Lake

the district. he believes, can be made
into one of the most productive Ia the
state. lie declares IL 10 be choice

water to be had, and which will add
Ia Utah "a productive area second 10

New Hope district has been, It Is not
too late Ia turn mist0rtunes into q
blessing Ia the state, Wolfe says, The
district previously issued forty thou
sand dollars worth of bonds 10 pro-
vide itself with water The state land
board took twenty thousand dollars
of these bonds, which they still hold.
Later the district went defunct, and

The construction will be simple, he
says, requiring no impounding reser-
vOirs, but merely necessitating the
building of some canals and the en-.
largement Of others. If this is done
the land in ten years, in Wolfe s
opinion, will pay back any advanced
money, as well as yield a good crop to
settlers, and become a real asset to
the state.
Wolfe visited Vernal and Duchesne,
looking up records and satisfying
himself as TO titles and legal stand
ings After a thorough investigation
he believes the district can be put
firmly on its feet by the advancing Of
a small amount of money towards
getting a water supply, and in lifting
some Of the oppressive burdens that
are encupbering action and depress
ing settlers.

CHURCH CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
Bishop Theodore S. Henderson Chosen
for Interchurch World Movement.

Bishop Theodore S, Henderson, gen
eral superintendent Of the Methodist
Episcopal church in the Detroit area,
has accepted the call of the interchureh
world movement to give executive di-
rection to the LeDten Evangelistic cam
paign being conducted in the churches
OF denominations cooperating in the
movement.
A call for modelling all the forces Of
the churches TO center upon the evan
gelistic campaign throughout the coun-
try during March, eliminating on join
the church Sunday which Easter sun
day. has been termed. has been issued
by the newly appointed campaign man
ager.
Bishop Henderson said that he be.
lieved that no permanent international
OF industrial peace could be enjoyed
until men generally realized that there
must be an increase Of practical re-
ligion that expresses itself in dealings
with men.
1T would place the mark OF failure
upon the evangelistic campaign 10 say
that we were to attempt to reach only
one set of persons. The rich need to
repent of their sins and turn to God
as much a. the poor perhaps more
than the poor. They are all sinners
and need salvation And salvation is
whas Jesus Christ came ia give them.
That is what we will stress during this
Lenten period
In outlining the campaign. Bishop
Henderson said that the plans 10 be
put into operation would supplement
an the efforts being made by individ
ual churches and groups OF churches
in particular communities which have
already arranged 10 conduct an agrees

nitv evangelism during the Lenten pc

LESS RAPID RISE

Six Other Countries
Since 1914
AUSTRALIA AND NEW
ZEALAND BETTER OFF
Increase in United States
SO Per Cent; in Can
ada, SO

Washington, d. G., Feb. 27.--Living
costs have advanced more in six for
eign countries since 1914 than in the
United States, according TO compare
sons of retail food prices in nine coun-
tries including the United States, made
public to-day by the bureau of labor
statistics. In Australia and New Zea
land, however, the advance was less
than in this country.
Taking July, 1914, as the base point,
the bureau shows that the retail prices
of the principal food articles in the
United States had increased by SS per
cent in September, 1919, compared
with advances Of ll6 per cent in Great
Britain and % per cent in Canada dur
ing the same period.
The comparisons are made from the
latest reports from the various coun
tries. In August, 1919, the increase in
the United States was SO per cent, com
pared with 100 per cent in France; liz
per cent in Norway, and 30 per cent
in Sweden, while in Australia and New
Zealand, prices climbed but as per cent.
April, 1919, the last report from Italy,
showed an advance of 1871 per cent
there against rs per cent in this coun-
try.
In September food prices had climbed
$50 per cent in Paris and ia per cent
in Rome.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush

well known authority Meat forms uric
acid, which exctcs the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood, then we
get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary disor-
ders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, stop eating
meat and get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any pharmaey take "A ia

tralize the acids in urine so il no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder

TURKS IN PROTEST.
Against the Removal of Sultan from
Constantinople.

Constantinople, Feb. 25.-Meetings
have been held throughout Turkey for
several weeks to protest against the
removal of the sultan and his govern
ment from Constantinople, which has
been rumored. One hundred thousand
Turkish men and women attended the
meeting held here. The crown prince
occupied a seat on the speakers stand
and. for the first time, it is said. in
the history of the Turkish empire the
women addressed a political meeting
and discussed measures to be taken to
save the remnants of Turkey in Eu-
rope.
Resolutions were adopted and delega-
tions appointed to deliver them to reD-
resentatives of the entente here. In
these II was declared that CONSTANT
uople. being the seat of the Califate,
and the Tracian hinterland around Con.
stantinople should remain Turkish;
that the southern and eastern provinces
in which Turkish populations are in the
majority should remain Turkish and
that the rights Of the minorities of
the Christian elements in Turkey and
Turkish elements in the Balkans should
abe settled on an equal basis. =

IS hour week was one of the demands
made by the striking operatives at the
Black Cat mill who walked out last
August and who through their peketing
of the mills created such condition
that the local officials appealed to GOV.
Clement. The governor placed the
county sheriff and his deputies in
charge of the situation which gradually
changed as the operatives broke their
allegiance to the union and returned
to work. There are now more opera
tives at work in the mill than when

TURKS TO STAY nv

But Never Again Will Gate to Bos-

London, Feb. 27.--The decision not
to Dust Turkey from Constantinople
was reached by the allies supreme
council only after long consideration
Of the difficulties in the Turkish stu
alton, premier Lloyd George declared
in the House of Commons yesterday
when the question OF the future of
Turkey was brought up for debate. The
decision, said the premier, was bal
ance of advantages and Disadvantages,
and it was upon this balance, and aft
er weighing carefully all the argu
ments pro and con that the council CON
cluded that on the whole the better
course for achieving the common end
was to retain the Turk in the capital
on the Bosphorus.
Referring to the ag1 cement made
early in the war under which Russia was
to obtain Constantinople. Mr.. Lloyd
George said this agreement had ended,
so far as Russia was concerned. by the
revolution of 1917, and he reiterated
lfs pledge that there would be a diff
ffrent porter at the gates, however. 1t
would be the height OF folly again to
trust the guardianship of those gates
TO a people who had betrayed their
trust, he declared, and never again
would those gates be closed by the

GENEROUS ADJUSTMENT
FOR HOHENZOLLERNS
Value of Estates Held By Members of
the Family May Reach Bill
lion Marks.

Berlin, Feb. 26-The value of the
estates which belonged to the former
German emperor and his family may
reach l,000,000,00 marks. In attempt
ing to fix the compensation to Count
Hohenzollern for that part of his pri-
vate property taken over by the state,
the authorities have experienced diff
Guilty in deciding what part belonged
to the crown and how much was strict
ly private.
The difficulty arose in part from the
fact that the appraisers have had to
inventory properties which have been
accommodating for five centuries
The settlement will be dictated, it is
stated by a desire to offer to the Ho.
henzollerns generous adjustment.
Their acquiescence is said to have been
obtained to the bill in the Prussan
Diet to pay the former emperor 100.

permit him to retain a number of cas-
ties, real estate and personal property.
