I ( On account of inactivity to Ian extent, in some industries in Bingham during the past few years every one should become ex-trem-active at this time in cleaning up the town. Put rubbish in old cans or buckets at the edge of the walk in front of your place and the street departmnt will do jthe rest. HWING into line with' the Spirit of kpjfc&fc Springtime; take a tip from old Mother Nature. Maybe your house would look better for a coat of paint; or possibly the fence, outbuildings or screens seem a little dingy in the bright spring sunshine. How about your floors? Are thejr showing heel-mark- s? And has some of the furniture been scratched up? ' Painting, or varnishing, will not only beautify, it will make the wood last so much longer that it's actually cheaper to paint than not.

CHILA LAUNCHES US REDUCTIONS EVERY COUNTRY IN SOUTH AM-ERICA TO BE INCLUDED IN DISCUSSION IF APPROVED Propowl Mad to Make Lower Arm mente Part In Agenda at 8an--. tiago Conference to Be Held Next Week Washington. First steps have been taken to extend limitation of arma-ment to LatJn America, It was learned authoritatively Thursday. An agreement between the repub-lics from the Rio Grande to Cape Ilorn to limit arrmament Is about to be proposed by Chile and already the plan has been informally discussed- - The Chilean proposal is that the question of limitation of armament be taken up at the fifth conference to be held at next Santiago March. If this proposal is approved, the Santiago conference will be in efTect another international disarmament conference. The Chilean foreign office, it was loomed, has communicated to tho Chilean embassy here the desire of thnt government to initiate a discus-sio- n of plans for limitation of arma-ment in Latin America, at the San-tiago conference. The has been instructed to sound out the question here. Ambassador Don Beltran Mathleu has already discussed the plan infor-mally with Dr. L. S. Rowe, director general of the I'an-Americ- union. It Is understood Mathleu will shortly propose that the question of extending llmitalon of armament to Latin Amer-ica be included in the agenda for the conference. i If the commission on revision of program for the conference approves the inclusion of limitation of arma. went in lb agenda it will then 1h pt before the governing board of the n union and with unanimous favorable action by that body consid-eration of the question will be assured These negotiations are expected to be completed within the next tliree weeks. The present views of the Chilean government are that limitation of ar-mament in Latin America should be aachieved through a reduction and limitation of the expenditures by the jarrious countries, this method being preferred to a ship by ship, or gun by gun reduction and limitation. The Washington naval limitation treaty provides for scrapping and lim-itation in terms of sips, but it is be-lieved that the Chilean plan would be wiser for Latin America, as the purely financial reduction and limita-tion would afford an immediate econ-omic benefit By this method also, on agreement could be extended auto-matically to both militatry and naval armaments. It is not the Intention to include the Unitetd States In any agreemen on limltaiton of armament, for fear it would upset this country's relations with the other powers in the , Washington naval disarmament treaty. f : I t t LEAD ADVANCED IN PRICE Many of he business men were elated at the news this wek of the advance in the price of Lead. Only 89,792,000 lbs. of lead were produced in this state last year, because of the low price, the principal lead operators having suspended production, leaving activ only the properties whose ores contained a high silver freight-rat- e xon--v cessions are granted on ore and bullion shipments by the inter-- state commerce commission which now has these and other Utah tariffs under advisement, mining men are confident that - lead producer of the State will be enabled to operate profitably ..with the price of the metal hold-ing around 5 or 5W cents. Whether the present price ad-vance is merely temporary or a permanent improvement is a matter of conjecture. ' However the fact that the price has im-- proved is accepted as an indica-tion that the period of financial stagnancy has been passed and an erea of expansion has been enterd. As a result of the im-proved quotations for themetal many of the mines of this dis-trict will be increasing their ton-nage daily and will probably pro-duce on a capacity basis.

Mighty Csar Ceuld Find Ne One In ; His Demlnlens That Would Tell Him the Truth. A dramatic Httie story that tun. mines In a flash the strangely un-wholesome life that the csar of Rus-sia had to live in the old days Is to be found In Mr. James L. Ford's book, "Forty-Od- d Tears In the Literary Shop." Mr. Ford had an intimate ac-quaintance with Baron de Grimm, whose father had been the tutor of Alexander II of Russia, and who him-self had been an Intimate friend of the csarevltch. From De Grimm, he writes, I gained an idea of the Isolation of an autocrat and the atmosphere of dread, suspi-cion and uncertainty that surrounds an autocratic court When the Czar Alexander II sent his son to the Riviera for the sake of his health he received from the young man's at-tendants only vague reports In regard to his condition, although couriers ar-rived dally with letters. On one occa-sion the soldier who brought the post bag was ushered Into the presence of the ctar, who after a hasty glance at u'. correspondence exclaimed: "There is no letter from my son, and it is some days since I have heard from him!" "But, aire," exclaimed the soldier, "he is no longer able to write I" "Not able to write 1" exclaimed the sovereign of alt the Russlas. "Will nobody ever tell me anything?" And It may be remembered that Nicholas n tittered a like despairing cry when the news of the January massacre, which his courtiers had sedulously kept from htm, finally reached his ears.
