Amplifying our contention of laRt week that the real riches of Utah lie not only on the surface of the earth as in agriculture, but more particularly in the earth, we invite attention to the ponderous value of Utahs bituminous coal beds, now that there are indications of a gradual lessening of the gasoline and oil supplies.

The Southern Pacific locomotives are gradually returning to coal consumption and there are numerous evidences of Industrys getting away from oil burning processes. COAL A GREAT GASOLINE SOURCE Naturally after the present oil wells af dry, the wealth of the world will fnm to the next greatest gasoline supply source. It Is our opinion the olds bituminous coal fields are that aonree. As Utah possesses one of the finest of these beds In the world, embracing a veritable empire In extent, It ia no exaggeration to Invite attention in the Fabulous wealth of this great natural resource.

PRODUCTS BEING BURNED UP. Using coal as we do at present all of these valuable commodities are being burned up. Many of them are going up In smoke to pollute the atmosphere of Salt Lake. It has been estimated that Henry Ford Is himself a POLITICAI L PEOPLE STUDY CANDIDATES Certainly we dont know as much about the water situation as the city officials In charge, but we should like to submit the following reminder: A little water frequently is certainly more effective In keeping plant growth alive than a little more water just every once In a while. When a lawn or shrubs start to die It takes an Increasing amount of water to rcsusicate them. Again, If the amount of war ter available is gradully lessened .the result Is less disastrous than if the change takes place suddenly. Now then. If the city would permit householders to sprinkle their flowers and lawns during a period of only one-hal-f hour each day as a maximum, with a proviso for small lawns, in our opinion, equally good results would obtain as by allowing two full hours every other day and, once s week, every third day. .Certainly it would not require' anywhere nearly as much water as Is nsed now. The frequency of the thing would have a sort of cumulative effect The great trouble now la that everybody uses the water to the very limit of the two hours. People who used to be Indifferent about springllng, hare now become experts and squeeze the very last drop out of the hose as the clock pounds eight. Careful sprinkling - also will help. It makes the- water go farther. It Is a sorry commentary In Salt Lake that things have come to that pass when the citizen with the brownest lawn and the most dried up premises Is the greatest patriot and the most loyal citizen. An Informal Visitor. Wednesday morning daring the wee sms hours a porcupine came visiting the Slat South driveway and decided to linger awhile near the Gusts ve son residence at 10th East The bristling young thing somehow attracted so much attention that several pajama-da-d patriots hurried out to welcome the intruder. A respectful distance was maintained by this unofficial committee until the animal was captured.

Governor Mabey had to mop up after a wartime administration, which Involved many extraordinary difficulties which he handled in a very creditable manner. WATTI8, MAN OF AFFAIRS. The candidacy of W. S. Wattls Is also eagerly watched. Many of his associates In the sugar business live In this section, and they are active . In his behalf. He Is generally credited wilh having done an eminent service for the sugar Industry In the state. Many local politicians contend that the attllude toward the sugar Industry In Utah politically Is altogether different from whnt It has been in the pust and that In the rural sections this fuel will be a great asset to Mr. Wattls. The fart that the Weber candidate, as a man of substantial affairs, has been successful in Important construction and other business projects, Is advanced as having given him a grasp on larger affairs and various contracts that will count under gubernatorial responsibilities.
