Yet, the Pilgrims thrift is vanished,
And the Pilgrims faith is dead,
And the Pilgrims God is banished,
And Mammon reigns in his stead;
And work is damned as an evil,
And men and women cry,
In their restless haste, Let us spend
and waste,
And live, for tomorrow we die
Slaves of sloth and the senses
Clippers of Freedoms wings,
Come back to the Pilgrims army
And fight for the King of Kings;
Come back to the Pilgrims conscience;
Be born in the nations Birth;
And strive again as simple men
For the freedom of the earth.
And when we sail as Pilgrims sons
and daughters
The spirits Mayfower into seas un-
known,
Driving across the waste of winter
waters
The Voyage every soul shall make
alone,
The Pilgrims faith, and the Pilgrims
courage grant us;
fStill shines the truth that for the Pill
grim shone.
We are his seed; nor life nor death
shall daunt us.
The port is Freedom! Pilgrim heart,
sail on!

SEAGUlLS SAVE DAKOTA
CROPS FROM HOPpERS
Incident Recalls How the Birds
Similarly Aided the Mormon
Pioneers in 1848.

Reports from North Dakota that
seagulls recently appearing in Mclean
county had destroyed grasshoppers
which threatened to ruin the crops
called attention to similar In
cident In Mormon pioneer life In Utah.
Today a notable monument stands In
the Mormon temple grounds at Salt
Lake City In honor Of the birds that
saved the early settlers from threat
ened starvation In 1913. 1t Is
pillar about 100 feet high surmounted
by a bronze seagull. At its base are
inscriptions detailing the reason for
Its erection, with Illustrations by
Mahonri Young, the Utah sculptor.
The first pioneers trekked across the
plains into Salt Lake valley In 1871
Brigham Young stipulated that there
should be intensive cultivation of the
land; crops were grown and the
farmers looked for bountiful harvest
the next year.
Then crlckets In huge armies swept
down upon the crops. The farmers
tried to eliminate the pest without
success. Transportation at the time
was difficult, means TO obtain food
stuffs from distant points were limited.
and the situation looked critical.
When practically everyone had given
up hope OF saving any part Of the
crops the seagulls, termed by old Nor
mons as the messengers from
heaven" appeared. They did not
touch the grain, but warred on the
crickets, and in a short time had rid
ded the fields Of the pest.
There are no records to show whence
the birds came.
The seagull is Utah's sacred bird. 1t
is unlawful to kill IT, Many OF the
people Of the state hold 1t In affec-
tionate memory, and during the sum
mer thousands give Of their bread to
the birds that may be seen In large
numbers at snltair, resort on the
Great Salt lake.

SIS CIGARS IN 10 HOURS
Iowa Farmer Wins $50; Passes Three

Iowa Farmer WlnS $50; Passes Three
Days In Bed After Contest.
Winning a bet of $50 by smoking
flfty-iire cigars in one day, or eighteen
hours, Is the record Of Jack Humphrey.
The young farmer Of Treynor made
the statement that he could beat any
one In the number smoked. Two
friends took him up and kept count.
The average was three cigars of the
scent variety an hour. Humphrey,
aged 80, says that he smokes twenty
five cigars a day and has done so for
twelve years, His cigar bill is $l.25 a
day, and for the time stated he has
spent $5,475 and smoked l0950O
cigars. Humphrey, however, passed
three days in bed after finishing the
contest.

The foolish man 7Oho built
his house ON the sand

He gave an example in folly which anybody
can understand
1t isn't so easy, however, to sense the mistake
OF trying to build the body on foods which lack
essential nourshment.
Here, again, is foundation of sand which
gives way when the test comes.
Many food that tastes good lacks honesty
of nourishment to equal its taste. Thus it terpts
the appetite into mistakes that often are costly.
Grape Nuts is a food which helps build bodily
endurance for LIES stress and storm. The full
nourshment of wheat and matted barley, together
with the vital mineral salts so necessary to bone
structure and red blood corpuscles, with phos-
pilates for the brain, is retained in Grape Nuts.
The long baking process by which Grape-Nu is
made gives the food natural sweetness and an
unusual ease of dgestiblity and assimilation.
Served with cream or milk, Grape-Nuts is
fully nourishing and whether eaten as a cereal at
breakfast or lunch, or made into pudding for
dinner. Grape-Nuts has a particular delight for
the appetite. Sold by grocers.

Has Another Big Plant.

Germany has another nitrogen plant,
using the same eaber-Boshe process,
which was halfway built at the time
Of the armlstice, and which has since
been finished. This Is located at
Merseburg on the Stassfurt deposits,
and 1t can produce twice as much
nitrogen as the Oppau plant, or about
100000 tons year. From plants that
employ the cyanamld and the atmos-
pheric nitrogen fixatiOn processes,
Germany has production Of an addi-
tional 100000 tons Of nitrogen.
The Oppau plant, which is now in
ruins, has been visited by number
Of allied military missions since the
war. From official sources, the fol-
lowing details have been obtained:
Although Oppau was erected during
the war, absolutely no expense was

Safety In Goggles.

Not single case of injury to the
eyes from broken glass has been re-
corded since goggles were introduced
into the shops of the New York Cen
trul railroad. All employees of the
Union Pacific Railroad company are
now required to wear goggles on eye
dangerous work.
Striking reduction In eye accidents
Is shown by the American Locomotive
| company. The number of accidents re-
quir!ng medical attention In the COM
pany's plant was % In 1915, while
during l0l0-l3 II was AS. In 1918
only two eyes were lost, while during
the preceding period there was a loss
of 10.5.
The number Of injuries per 1000
full time men a year was 1871 In 1915,
while In the 1908 period It was $50.
In the American Steel Foundries the
proportion Of eye accidents has been

Improving Conditions.

MANY subnormal eyes will work
well even for fairly trying work IL con-
ditions are good. Therefore, It is first
of all urgent to bring the working con-
ditions up to the best on the basis now
understood.
Even the most superficial survey
Of lighting conditions reveals that in
the majority Of plants there is much
Improvement possible, In spite of the
actual Increase In production, guam
tity and quality when poor illumlna-
ton Is corrected to standards now con-
sIdered satisfactory. There seems to
be no question of loss due to faulty
conditions.
1T has been shown that improved
lighting systems increased output q
per cent In steel plants and as much
as 10 per cent In shoe factories, where
work Is more eXacting. These are very
definite figures determined under an
accurate survey.
The cost for providing adequate
illumination for the entire industry Of
the country would amount 10 One-half
Of one per cent of wages. The cost
per capita Of correcting vision, insti.
