The significance of the events which have occurred since November 11, 1918, may be variously interpreted, according to the viewpoint from which we see them. To some it will appear that great progress has been made toward universal peace, wlhile to others the trend of events will imply grave danger lor the future. Even a single individual may reasonably waver between hope and fear hopeful when some felicitous occurrence seems to draw the nations closer together; fearful when an outbreak here or there threatens to undo all elforts for concord and understanding. No one is wise enough to fortell the future. Was the "war to end wars" the last great clash of nations, or was it only the prelude to more frightful slaughter and destruction yet to come? Only time can give the answer, and in the meantime it be hooves all right thinking persons, and particularly those in posi tions of influence and responsibility, to exercise whatever they may possess of tolerance, forbearance and the will to do justice to their feilow men. o COURT DECISION SEEMS SOMEWHAT UNJUST As a result of the decision of the supreme court made in the case of Rulon Dalley vs. the Mid Western Dairy Company last week, drivers of automobile oh the highways of the state must not expect to collect damages if they collide with motor cars or other obstacles left standing in the road. They muyt drive cautiously enough and have their lights in good enough condition to see obstacles on thehighway in time to avoid them. The decision grew out of an accident occuring iu July, 1930, on the highway south of Cedar when Air. Dalley collided with a truck presumably left in the road by Joseph N. Smith, an employee of the Midwestern Dairy company. Dalley sued the company and Smith for damages but the Fifth District court dismissed the case, which was sustained by the supreme court. Justice Elias Hanson who wrote the decision holds that Dalwas ley "traveling the road on a clear night. There was nothing to divert his attention. It must inevitably follow that the plaintiff did not keep a lookout ahead or, if he did, he either did not heed, what he saw or he could not see the truck because his lights were not such as were prescribed by law." The decision places the entire responsibility upon the driver, which seems unjust. Iron County Record. . o MORE REGULATIONS OF BUSES NEEDED The actual need of more regulation for motor buses becomes more apparent every day. It is going to become necessary for every state to adopt strict rules and provision for the operation of these buses in order to protect the lives of the passengers. Men in railroad service are required to take physical examinations and to be in trim at all times to take care of their duties. Full crews are provided so that in case of any emergency the train and its contents, whether human or freight, can be adequately protected. Not so with the buses. One reads of the bus that left its station in California the other day and fifteen minutes after its departure, the driver slumped forward dead. He looked all right when he took his station, but he had a heart weakness that proved fatal. Fortunately the accident occured before gaining much momentum, and no one was badly injured. Tne accident might have just as well occured in center of the desert or climbing up some steep mountain grades and the passengers would have been without relief and the possibilities of a more serious result are ever present. If auto trucks, both passenger and freight, are to compete for this business they should be compelled by law to the same restrictions as to rates and regulations as the steam train. Legislatures do not hesitate to tell a steam train what it can do. Why should the motor buses be shown any favoritism? o ANOTHER GOVERNMENT EXPENSE The estimate of the postolfice department is that 9,539,183,-00- 0 envelope and newspaper wrappers, stamped, will be required during the four years beginning January 1, 1933. At least a contract has just been let to the International Envelope company for that number at a cost of $11,531,1-11- . The government has no more right to enter into competition with the newspaper and the printing offices of the nation than it has with anj other line of industry. WE DID NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT In Tuesday's election we did not vote for president and vice president directly but for electors. In some states ballots do not even include the names of candidates for president and vice president. In other states both the names of candidates and electors appear on the ballot. In the early years of the republic the electors were chosen by state legislatures. Later in compliance with a nation-wid- e demand that presidential elections be made more direct the convention plan of selecting electors was adopted. The next move probably will be to do away entirely with the electoral college plan as being too antiquated and let voters cast their ballots directly for president. This Will require a constitutional amendment which already has been proposed. Proponents of this plan point out that under the present electoral system it would be possible for a president to be elected by a minority of the voters. Each state is entitled to as many electors as it has senators and representatives in Congress. Since there are 9f senators and 435 members of the House the total number of electors is 531. A majority of 266 is necessary to elect a president. The second Monday in January after a presidential election the electors in every state vote as units as directed in the election. These certified ballots are sent to Washington. There the ballots we counted by the president of the Senate in the presence of members of both houses of Congress on the second Wednesday in February. Of course, all this is mere formality to comply with the Constitution. If no candidate should receive a majority vote of the electors is jt the duty of the House of Representatives to elect a president, tnd of the Senate to elect a vice president. This has happened twice in our history. In 1800 Thomas Jefferson was elected by Jthe Jlouse and in 1824 John Quincy Adams was chosen in the) sjme way. ct lf . ay j j ' at er 35 TELEPHONE to select from your hay that which is put up in the best shape to hold over. "They tell us that one third of the cows in the United States make money for their owners, one third pay for their feed, and one third lose money for their owners. Would it not ha good sound business to kill that tenth cow and hold her feed as an insurance for the next year? We do not admit one third of the dairy cows in Beaver county lose money, but we would hesitate to argue that fewer than ten per cent are boarders. Ten per cent should be the smallest carry over of feed we should consider." ' CONTRACT LET FOli 500 FOOT SHAFT AT TINTIC re-for- m Control Pocket Gophers Now This is the time of year when pocket gophers are throwing up their mounds and preparing for winter. It is therefore the easiest and best time to get them with either traps or poison boit. There is no danger of livestock getting the bnit when placed for gophers. Damage from the infestations of gophers is increasing rapidly, and control measures should be instigated to check their spread. Control is neither difficult nor expensive if started at the right time, but it is next to impossible in the summer when crops cover the fields. Trapping is much slower and more expensive than the poison method, and requires considerable time where infestations are bad. If you have any questions as to the poison to use, or the method of it, call on your county agent. u-i- 1NB 1 Another unit has been added to the holding of Tintic Lead through acquisition of 62 patented claims of th King David Mining Company, which adjoins the famous Horn Silver 03 the west in the San Francisco mining district of Beaver County.

Lack of, or inefficiency in any one of these phases will seriously hamper the prospects of satisfactory yields. They are (1) Seed Bed, (2) Fertility, (3) Seed, (4) Cultivation, and (5) Irrigation. The first step in production to con sider is seed bed. It is the real home of the plant or in other words, it is the place where plants secure food, air and water which are utilized by 'nature's intricate process in building up the plant. Therefore it should be so made that it will meet as nearly as possible all the requirements of the plant. It should be roomy, thor oughly pulverized, and compact. Plowing is the first and most im portant operation in making a seed bed. It loosens the soii, covers weeds and trash, and admits air so neces sary to plant growth. It does much more than that when done in the fall of the year. It exposes hibernating insects and insect eggs such as cut worms, grasshoppers, chinch bugs, etc., to the winter freezing; it turns up hard dry soil chunks exposing them to alternate freezing and thaw ing thereby pulverizing and ing the physical structure and open ing up a soil reservoir for the catch ing and holding of all winter arid It makes possible spring moisture. the planting of crops three to five weeks earlier in the spring, thus making possible the maturing of those crops while the water supply is still good in the locations where that is a factor. This is one of the big factors of crop production that can be done this fail, and since it is beneficial in so many ways it should not be neglected. Extra power may be necessary where the soil is extremely dry, but it can usually be accomplished by giving the team more time and it will be easier than attempting to rush the entire operation in the spring.

He was working with the engineering crew on the Parowan-Paragona- h road and as he attempted to drive a peg into the frozen ground a steel splinter about half an inch long flew and struck his eye. He was brought to Cedar City and then taken to specialists in Salt Lake City, who were unable to remove the splinter and an operation revealed that the eye ball had been so pierced that it couldn't be saved. Removal was necessary in order to save the sight of the other eye. Iron County Record. RAILROAD SPURS iRE ABANDONED Texas, El Reno, Oklahoma, and Boy-ar- P.
