MAKE WAY FOR THE TOURIST

d ETWEEN sixty and seventy thousand tourists
- have already visited the Yellowstone Park so
far this summer according to the newspaper
report 1t will be easy to bring many to the scenic
wonders of Utah when once we have the road for
them Those who saw the Yellowstone last year or
this summer will want to see some other region next
summer We ought to get ready for them and bring
them to see that unequaed array of Natures master
pieces. Fish Lake, Bryce's Canyon, Grand Canyon
Zion Canyon, Cedar Breaks and Mammoth Creek.
Sixty thousand tourists would bring lot of cash
into the state Every city and town along the line OF
travel would benefit. Every one of the communtie:
along the road to these parks should be united with
every other community interested in a commercial
organization for the purpose of opening and adverts
ing this peerless scenic route
This should be done NOW. Why wait and hole
this stream of tourist cash out of the country in
definitely AS an immediate, easily tapped source
+ of wealth this has no equal today. All the tourist
asks is something to look at and road to get to it
We have what he wants to look at and all but mere
fifty miles of the road
Why hesitate at the building of fifty miles Of
road when it would enable travellers to visit in one
short circuit six of Natures greatest wonderlands9

BETTER TO WORK THAN FIGHT

XV/HEN Pancho Villa and his men ambled into
w San Pedro to surrender and to support the
De La Huerta Government, one of Villas
followers confessed to a newspaper man that lead
ing reason for the surrender was that the bandit
business had become too hard work. The campaigns
Of the last few months he said had been difficult
That the men decided that work, ordinary labor,
would be easier.
Something of the sort may have been in Villas
mind, too. He is no longer young, he has led hard
life 1t is not unlikely that he wishes to end his days
as a rancher, in peaceful, productive enterprise.
Were every bandit and scalawag in Mexico sud
denly to come of the mind of Villa and his men, il
would make an astonishing difference in the stricken
country These gentry are in way the best OF the
country They are not the most peaceful or law-abid
ing citizens, but they have proved by the mode of life
they have chosen that they are the most daring anC
in some ways the most energetic.

THE COUNTY FAIR

TAR time. is fun time Nothing that can add to
the Joy of the occasion is overlooked. But II
is more than mere recreation and dissipation, 1t
e N . ,vav the countys annual balance sheet Has
the county progressed during the year' The exhibits
and activities Of the fair will show it. Does it rank
well with other counties' The tair answers that
question Are there better breeds and better meth
DDS than the farmers are used top The fair will dem
onstrate them and educate the farmers to them, In
fact, the right sort of fair is an inspiration and ed
ucation to men and women in every line OF human
effort.
1t appeals to every citizen because it is in line
with the eternal human instinct to search tor the
best, whether in cattle, athletes, or neckhes.
The state and county fairs of the nation are worth
many times their cost each year for the progress they
inspire.
The county fair is the worlds most efficient
enemy of the spshod and the shiftless. Ignorance
and narrowmindedness cannot live in its presence
1t calls bluffs. punctures shams and shows up IN
efficiency.
That man or woman is hopeless as citizen who
will not root and sweat for the county fair.

But there would be no harm in telling the
cGce-r aid nbers of the Cedar Band that they
= IS. big thing for their community and that
they are appreciated accordingly. Neither would it
be out of place to across with financial support
for their enterprises The band deserves good uni
forms and should be aided in their efforts to earn
them.
That the Sunday band concerts are very popular
is shown by the large attendance. That the selec-
tons please the gathering is evidenced by the terrific
honk of auto horns after each piece. This racket,
which is rather harsh for lovers of music to make.
prompted sour-faced dyspeptic the other evening
to wonder what sort of noise they'd make if they
didn't like it,
However. for all its wierd deafening discord,
the honk of appreciation is good to hesr May it and
the sweetness of the music that provokes it never
grow less.

KEEP MOVING

A LTHOUGH sheeprasing is one of the leading
n industries of this section and that industry has
been harder hit than any other this year. yet
we have the testimony of many visitors that Cedar
City appears to feel the present money shortage less
than any other community in the West. The news of
failures and financial difficulties of other sections
seems to confirm this impression.
The reason likely is that road building. public
improvements, farm development and even home
building have gone on in spite Of the threat in the
financial air. This statement is not intended as a
boast Probably it is just an accident that this COM
munity happened to keep moving in its development
program. However that is. the important thing is
that it did keep moving when other communities shut
down on their building and development programs
to wait for better conditions. This keeping up is
what has kept money in circulation and has been of
unreasonable benefit to the valley
1t is to be hoped that this activity will continue
There is promise that it will The action of the pub
lie spirited men who took over the building Of the
third section of the Cedar-Longvaey road is in line
with this courageous spirit and ought to encourage
others going ahead with full faith in the future OF
Cedar City.

SEASONS AVERAGE
ON MAYSVILLE MAR
KETIS NOT PLEASING
Last sale Of the Local LOOseleaf Mar
ket Held Friday-Average for
the 1890 Season An
nOunced as $23.93.

The Maysville looseleaf tobacco
market for the 1919-2O season came to
close with the sales held Friday.
There was very little tobacco on the
floors of the local houses for the last
sale and by o'clock in the afternoon
all warehouses had completed their
sales and were at work on their season
figures.
This season has been very unsatis-
factory to the warehousemen, as it has
been very draggy all during the year
The growers have not been pleased be-
cause of the prices, although the mar
ket opened stronger than last year but
in short time prices began to drop
until they reached a level far below
the figures of last year. This is due.
unquestionably, to the very poor quail
ity of tobacco grown in this district
last year. At the opening of the mar
ket, local warehousemen predicted
that prices at the close would shew a
decided increase from last years fig
ures because of the general quality of
the weed
Supervisor Mitchell reports that
during the last week of the market a
total of 6OS, ,26O pounds was sold at an
average of s15.15 Some had expected
a weekly sale for the last week of near
a million pounds and were disappoint-
ed at the quantity of the weed deliv-
cred.
During the entire season. Supervisor
Mitchell reports, the sales have
amounted to 21,O36.435 pounds which
brought general average of $23.9 SO
per hundred as against general av-
erage of $32 for last year and a gen.
eral average of s24.4O for the 1917-1S
season
In the number of pounds sold for the
season. the local market fell far short
this year, falling even below the sales
of the 1867 market. A comparison
of the pounds sold and season aver

ing of the Maysville looseleaf market

MASS MEETING ON
ROADS POSTPONED
Commissioners Postpone Mass Meet
ing On Road Conditions Until SOme-
thing Definite Can Be Learned.

County Judge H. P. Purnell an
nounced this morning that the mass
meeting of Mason county citizens call
ed for the April County Court day,
when it was proposed that the Mason
county road situation be discussed
thoroughly and the opinion of the cit
izens and taxpayers of the county be
obtained as to what should be done,
had ben postponed until later date.
The purpose of this postponement,
Judge Purnell says, is because the
state road department is at present in
such a condition that no definite plan
of work in this county can be procured
from them and this is necessary before
the county makes any plans.
Nothing will be heard from the state
road department in regard to the three
Mason county roads which will be
taken over by the state until the Gov
ernor has appointed the board of State
Road Commissioners. and when they
are appointed the county will know
just what the state expects to do and
just what it will be necessary for the
county to do. This mass meeting will
be called just as soon as the County
Commissioners have anything definite
from the state.

THIEVES BREAKlNTO
TAILOR SHOP and

Tailor Shop Of Squire Fred Dressed
Broken Into Friday Night and
Three Pieces of Clothing Stolen
Police Have Clews.

When Mr. George Dressed opened
the tailor shop owned by his father.
Squire Fred Dresel in Market street
this morning, he found clothing scat
tered all over the floor and noticed i'm
mediately that the rear window in the
shop had been broken open. Investiga-
ing further, he found. that the rear
door was unlocked and that clothing
was scattered over the back yard.
A hasty inventory of the clothing
left in the shop disclosed that two
coats and vest was all that was miss
ing from the shop. Several pieces of
clothing had been found in near-b
yards and an overcoat was foun,
hanging on the back fence These arti-
cles were evidently dropped by the
thief in his escape.
A coat and vest left in the shop for
repairs and a new coat sent there by
one of our local clothing dealers for
alienation was all that was stolen.
The thief or thieves overlooked sew
eral new suits of clothing awaiting al
terations by the tailors.

made a thoroughe investigation and
thinks he has hood clew which will
be followed out carefully.

SMOOTH KIDNAPER
SEEMS TO HAVE MADE
COMPLETE GETAWAY
Cal Grim FOllONs Clew Into western
Kentucky 49, Many Detectives On
the Job.

Lexington KY, March 81. Cal
Grim. Cincinnati detective, was pursu-
ing the slippery kdnaper of Paul Lit
tie, 12, over Kentucky in an automo-
bile today.
The pursuit is leading west in which
direction a man answering the de-
scription of the boys abductor has
been seen at various points.
If, however, he maintins the cool
daring that marked his two-day stay at
the Phoenix Hotel of this city, where
he was holding the boy prisoner, it
was admitted the detectives may have
a hard job catching up with him.
While he kent the boy locked in
Room 65l he mingled with the crowds
in the lobby of the hotel went about
the city leisurly,N thought the newspa-
pers and, no doubt. had good time
reading about the "clews" which dis
covered him in various cities of the
country.
1t is not impossible he still is in
Lexington, hiding until the hue and
cry subsidies.
Though he had laid plans carefully
to get $4,000 quickly, he abandoned
the job empty-handed No man ever
spent more profitless week in Lex
ington. Still he managed to keen down
expenses. for he left behind an unpaid
room bill amounting to about $40.
He brought along no baggage, so he
was able to make his escape unen-
numbered.
Yet, had he attempted to take the
$4,000 from the waste can on Main
street in which he had ordered it
placed, it would have profted him not
at all, for he probably would have lost
his life as well as his money
There are men about town who ad-
nit they we're among l6 citizens, who
stood in windows opposite the waste
can, ready to shoot if the kidnaper
came to claim his money.
