Its a sure go this time" is the
frequent remark heard on the street
corners concerning the latest about
the railroad from Lund to Cedar.
We certainly hope it is and that be-
fore six months have passed we will
have rail connections with the Salt
Lake route.
Bertran Langford left Tuesday
afternoon for Preside, Calf, a
government training station near
San Francisco, where he will re-
ceive a months military training.
This training camp accepts only
boys from 10 up to men IS and
several other boys in Cedar applied
for admission, but for some reason
their applications were refused.
One pleasing thing about the re-
cent reports concerning the pro-
posed railroad from Lund to Cedar
is the fact that the promoters are
not asking for rights of way thru
private lands. They are seemingly
going ahead without bothering the
farmers over this matter as did all
the other railroad promoters that
have invaded Cedar from time to
time during the past thirty or forty
years.
BY the courtesy Of the American
Protective Tariff league, of New
York, we are in receipt of an elab-
crate and useful document entitled
Wages in the United States and
Foreign Countries" issued by the
committee on Ways and Means.
House of Representatives, Wash
ington. The document is based upon
the testimony before the Ways and
Means committee during the recent
hearings which was verified and
amplified thru official sources. 1t
contains no argument but simply
facts, which ought to be in the
hands of every citizen. Write to
your congressman and ask him for
copy of wages in United States
and Foreign Countries"

We read in an eastern paper that

Some report that the Walker

deal is still pendisg, with every
probability of its being consumated
within a short time.
The main topic in Cedar among
a certain class of young people dur
ing the week preceding and on the
Fourth of July seemed to be "homc

class the topic was dress, while a
third class could think of nothing
else but the shortage of money. Yet
taking everything into consideration
these three classes of people seemed
to thoroughly enjoy the celebration
held on Monday.

at no time were we in danger of
collision with it. We are now safe

been expecting the comet to hit US

WALLACE WOULD
GUST M|DDLEMAN
ASPR0F|T TAKER
Agricultural Secretary Said to
Favor Law AboIishing Cost
Iy Market System.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace was
represented last night by Senators from
Western and Southern agricultural
States as favoring Congressional legis-
lation to authorize the formation Of
associations or organizations of farmers
throughout the country for the purpose
of eliminating the speculative middle
man and unnecessary profit-taker."
Senator Capper. Republican. OF Kan
sas. has a bill pending In tho Senate
providing for such legislation. and the
agricultural Senatorial bloc with which
ne is prominently Identified has swung
behind IL.
Capper explains that under existing
statutes the legality of such cooperation
as is planned is constantly questioned
Cooperative associations have been
prosecution and harassed by selfish busi-
ness interests" he says. MY bill does
not ask for class legislation. 1t does
not seek to exempt cooperative farm
organizations from the provisions of the
antitrust laws
Our system of marketing Is the
costIiest and most inefficient in he
world. for the reason that farmers are
compelled to pay daily tribute to a
group OF men who render no service to
either the producer or consumer. Both
political parties have Endorsed my bill
in their national platforms, and all the
farm organizations have memorialized
Congress to pass 1t promptly"

Members of Delta Tau Delta Fra
