Everything has gone over the top, and gone big, and news that the state and our country may not live up to the pledges given in buying War Savings Stamps almost as a blow. It is a con- dition that cannot be passed over lightly. Every man. woman and child that made a oledee h,. the pledge Is to the boys "over there' who are pushing the Hm back, and many giving of their life's blood for us.

Castledale has been very lucky in that not one of the many of those who have been sick, whether with flu or just plain colds, have died. Mrs. T. W.

Cleveland is understood to be still free of the disease he only one of the larger communities to be free If reports that Huntington now has a couple of cases are true. Orangevllle was also free until Thursday when the first case of flu was reported. .The cases in both Hutington and Orange-vill- e are understood to be those of young men who t"t returned from Carbon county points. Incidentally, the f'nger of blame for the spread of the disease through the outlying sections of the state and the five cases are reported untimely deaths resulting therefrom, is being pointed to the selfish interests of Salt Lake City and the carelessness of authorities upstate which permitted the holding of the state fair and conference when Salt Lake City was known to have the dread epidemic in Its midst, thus making possible the spread of the disease to every corner of Utah and many sections of neighboring states. As soon as little old Salt Lake had reaped its annual harvest the lid on public gatherings, schools and everything else was clamped down tight but the harm was already done and there is no tellhow ing many useful' lives might have been saved to the state If the city's selfishness had not been allow,ed full semi-annu- al rein. w. a. s. CANDIDATES MAKE USE OF PRINTER'S INK Political rallies and all other gatherings are under the ban, preventing any extensive public discussion of candidate's pros and cons, and printer's ink Is being utilized as never before by state and district candidates. But, the matter thus placed before the public Is less virulent and vicious than Is usually the case, more emphasis being placed on this and that candidate's "c ord and ability than on the tearing down of his opponent or opposing pa'ty. Considerable space in this Issue of the Progress is utilized in the interests of various candidates and groups of candidates and practically all of the matter presented is such as uan be ' COMBINED WAR FUND - r, -.u,w been seated being found near the body.

Mrs. Day, who was In Salt Lake In attendance on her sister, who is ill, was immediately telephoned for and arrived late last night,, accompanied by her daughter Effie who is employed In the city. The eldest son Perry, who enlisted , in., the medical corps at tne outbreak of the war, is somewhere on the western front with the American expeditionary forces. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) at two o'clock on the lawn at the residence. The deceased leaves a wife who has very poor health, and seven children four daughters and three sons.

Another thing that may mitigate against the full voting strength of the county being cast is the fact that one provision of the corrupt practices act passed by the last legislature prohibits the conveying or furnishing of a conveyance by any person, corporation, committee or organization, for any voter to or from the polls or any part of the way, except that a committee of two or more polittcal parties may cooperate, at joint expense, in conveying sick, disabled, aged, or infirm voters to the polls, but no conveyance so furnished shall have any banner or party worker upon It. This does not apply to persons of the same household, nor does it prohibit two or more .voters from providing Joint by transportation for themselves mutual agreement at their own expense. So, if you wait for the usual election auto of past days to take you to your voting places, you will miss your vote unless you happen to be sick, disabled, aged, or infirm. Another provision of the same act provides for a strict accounting by each candidate and party committee of all money contributed' and expended by such candidate or committee. All in all, the law Is a mighty comprehensive one and there are very few former election usages that would not come in conflict with the new law. Its extent may1 be judged by the provision that any one making a bet or wager on the result of an election thereby furnishes ground for challenge of his vote besides being guilty of violation of the law. w. g. s.
