What hope is there for he 95 per cent of the humanity in Asia which, as Viee-Pre- s. Henry Wallace says, earn less than $100 a year aud live and die hungry, and the millions of sub-merged souls in Europe? Before there can be a decent world the exploiting and enslaving of these masses must cease "They must be given freedom, work with deoent wages, homes and opportunity. Until all are free and secure, none are free and secure. And they must be liberated by men who come to them, not to exploit and enslave, but in the name of truth justice, peace and liberty Kings and aristocrats and other rulers, and the capitalists, should be ashamed of the world mees they have made. Let every man who has humanity's interest at heart resolve that he will never ease working for and, if need be, fighting for a better world. Remember that only 20 per cent of the world's people enjoy the use of the in-ventions that have perfected farm and home life. Only 20f The Office of Defense Transportation has banned the use of any vehicle using rubber tires for sightseeing service. The ban is effective Sept. 10 and affects all busses, autos, trucks, taxicabs, drive-yourse- lf autos and privately-owne- d oar. Write Them a Letter Today. There is a popular song about just a letter from home, which should be an appeal to the folks on the home front to remember the boys out there on the far-flu- fronts of this terriule war. Make it a business, brothers, sisters, sweethearts friends, parents to remember them as often as you can. But always write the good news not the bad. You little know how letters will cheer them in their marching and fighting by day and through the many lonely nights out there so far away. And how they need cheering and encouragement and kindly words. While at home people are in a mad race for money and pleasure feeling free and comfortable and secure, they should remember, that the scldiers and sailors and air fighters are standing between them and hell and a fate that is worse than death. Some are even betraying them and helping in crucifying them, which is as bad and as low and as mean and cowardly as for a man-t- betray his own mother. Take time out to write to them at least once a week while they are alive to read your words. Write them a letter today k Word to My Country My country! My nat ve land! Loved like a mother. Believing that it is the duty of those who k ow to te!l the truth. I turn my thoughts to you in the hour of your trib ulation and in the shadow of evil days ahead I come to you saying these words in the spirit thai, Wm Tell came to his native Alps, thanking you and God tliat I am free! It is my whcl soul's desire to see you victorious in war aDd peace and to lead the world in shaping a noble dest-iny. But. let me say,in truth and sincerity, that you can-not win the war and the peace and achieve the destiny while you stagger With drunkenness from border to bord. er; while your cities reek with vice and iniquitv;whiIeMam mon rules and God is all but forgotten. It cannot be done. So I give you thig warning: You must repent, turn to God and cleanse the land of its wickedness, restore right-eousness, and bring the people into conformity with the laws of righteousness so that the Almighty can b'ess ou, give you the victory, and the power to acheive a high ' destiny. C. N. Lund, -- ... w m - A TRUTH TO THINK ABOUT Those who profess religion and at the same time act with Satanic hate against Russia should remember that Russia has set up the economic system that she has without any religious light and even without God, whereas nations which claim all possible religious light and a monopoly on God leave their masses steeped in powerty and wage wars that exterminate so many of them, and golon exploiting their fellows We wouldn't exchange Americanism for anything in the world, but there might be many improvements made. lennett Nominated for New York Governor i. r.V... 8 1 ..X .. :.MJt..AmJiw1SLJt t ""John J.

Utah Mines Combine Efforts j To Bring In New Producers " """" f v,, iitf . - v t ;- -- East Tintic scene of new work. Determined efforts are being made to find a new producer for the Tintic mining district sur-rounding Eureka, Utah, which dur-ing recent years has fallen back in its rank as a metal producer. The Tintic Standard Mining com-pany and the North Lily Mining company have joined hands in an extensive deep exploration program in the eastern end of the district. From the Tintic Standard No. 2 shaft the two companies are ex-tending a drift to the north east to explore a vast acreage of unde-veloped mineral ground. The tun nel is being driven on the 1200-fo- ot level. Together the two companies will expend in th nighborhood of J500.-00-0 in an effort to bring in another producer for the camp. While geological conditions in the area are regarded as favorable for the development of ore, no one knows what the quantity or grade will be. Mining is becoming more and more hazardous. The miner must bore deeper and farther into the earth in order to find what his objective is. The rich surface de-posits have been mined, and low grade ores remain. TO SURVIVE NATIONS NEED TOETS" AND 'PROPHETS Nations are dying because they have no great poets and prophets, or, if they have they are not listening to them. This may seem strange to many, but it is true. When a nation ceases to produce and read and enjoy great poets, and rejects the prophets they are on the way out. Prophets and phophe-s- y are the headlights of all religion, always pointing the way. Poets inspire, uplift, civilize and often save the day for a peo-ple. They are listeners to and writers of the heart of things; "They hear through the roar of mortal things, The God's whisperings." It is fatal to a nation or a people to set aside their poets and prophets. Ci?XTir The PP We omitted last week making mention of Neighbor Mrs. Dan-iel Black coming in and renew-ing. She has been with us a long time and we have found her to be a good conscientious and honest woman who has the welfare of humanitiy at heart. We have quite a circle of readers at th National Dun w oody School in Minneapolis Minn Mrs. John Matson and daughter Yvonne have just re-turned from a month's visit with Mr. Matson which they greatly enjoyed. The SaKLakers there are, John Matson, Clair Olsen, Orlando Cruser, and Lester Warburton, who are all taking technical training for important positions in war in-dustry. All are doing well. Friend and Neighbor J. V. Crone was operated on Satur-day morning at the Holy Cross hospital. We visited him Sun-day and found him quite weak but hopeful We trust that he may recover and live another ten years. We say to him now while he can see to read it, that we look upon him as a very good man and citizen. Our good old Friend J. O. Waters of Duehesne was in Sat-urday with his ..offering.. We had quiie a talk with him. He is a Socialist to the core and is . very sincere. He doesnt take Roosevelt to be a god nor even a super man - He has studied religion but does not believe in the way it is practised. ' Show me," he says, "a chureh group that lives the religion of Jesus and I will join it " He is 81, and wnen he goes to the doctor he is told that he has lived too long. How a little town can produc two such extremes in politics as he and Mr. Hollen-bec-is a wonder to us. Ap. proaching the end of a long life we say to you, Neighbor Waters, you have lived a clean, upright, honorable life, and these will stand to your credit n the eternity which your eyes will, in a few years behold. Neighbor O. A. Miller sees to it the paper keeps going to Niighber Israel Barlow, who is ffrcaderand thinker. What a pleasure it is to read of such reunions as that of Prof. D. H. Christensen and his pupils of the long ago in a Payson school. Year after year it goes on showing the beauti-ful constancy of real friendship and keeping alive all the good memories of other days to bless the lives of these '"pupils" in their declining years. How fine are such associations Friend Joseph A. Anderson, a big man in Cooperativ s Farm Bureaus and general bus-iness, has sent in his offerings which is fine. Mr. Anderson is a genial, kindly man and a few more citizens like him would help Salt Lake. THE BEAUtTfUL NEW ORDER IN GREECE. To you who with careless or angry words are cussing Ami j ica we give you this picture of the "beautiful1 new order which has been set up in Greeoe by the conquerers and which may come here if some have their way. We have taken it from the Associated PreBs reports. "Starvation, exposure, and executions have taken a toll of 150,000 to 200,000 lives in Greece in less than a year of German-Italian- - occupation. In February of this year there were 1 500 deaths daily from cold and starvation. A. park in the center of Athens has been converted into a cemetery be-cause so many people have died in the heart of the city.'1 An-other "fine" illustration of the new order is martyred Poland. How we wish the Gods would resurrect Lord Byron that he might shame with prophetic poetry the barbarism that thus murders whole nations. rmy's New 15 -- Place Commando Glider L ..k1- - These pictures, just released by the army air forces, show the first of ' new troop-earrin- g gliders, the CG-4- now in quantity pro-etlo- n. The glider can carry 15 fully equipped men, including pilot and Pilot. It has a wing span of 83 feet, 8 inches, and a length of 48 feet, taches. At the top we get a good idea of the glider's sise by comparing h the size of the men. Below is an interior view showing pilot and Pilot at the controls. PROFITS UP 50 PER CENT We are heart and soul with the Technocrats in their de. mand that wealth be conscripted. While the pride of the nation is huhting and dying the money hogs at home are gar-neii-enormous piofits which -- eem to be all they are inter-ested in. Profits are up 50 p rcenl over 1940, says the Fe-- . deral Ressrve Forty-fiv- e od c ncerns double; their net. Pits burgh's coal profits aie douale over 1940. RCA net profits are a million dollars above 1940. Manufacturers of Automo-biles made 172, 000, 00t) more m 1941 than in . The lailroads earned $400,000,000 more in 1941 than in 1939. And solhe. story luiglit be told about some 629 industrial corporations We fay lo the Technocrats: Go to it until you force the government to conscript wealth. Car of Silver Ore Goes to War Silver, the turbulent metal, may go to war. Instead of lying idle like Its com-panion metal gold, silver is likely to join with copper, lead and zinc and is helping the democracies in their struggle to win the war. Tons of the white metal may be made to industry to take the place of other metals which have become scarce during the current crisis. In many instances it is being used to replace copper, as it is a good conductor of electricity and various other vital uses. Under the plan silver is to be loaned by the treasury department to the war production board for the duration of the war. During its career silver has been the subject of more controversies both nationally and internationally than any other metal. It has been "kicked" about politically since it was demonitized in 1873, yet it has always come back to take its place in the sun. There are a few academic eco-nomists in the east who still be-lieve that the western silver miner was plundering the United States treasury when prices of from 64.5 to 77.57 an ounce were placed upon the white metal. The hue and cry went up that the western silver bloc in congress put one over on their colleagues in congress. The facts are that the silver pur-chase act of 1934 made a nice profit for the treasury. Prices paid to the silver miner for his metal were about half of the 1.29 per ounce which the treasury department re-ceived when it became coinage. Since the silver purchase act. the stock of silver in the United States has been built up to 3,280,000,000 ounces. This huge stock of metal, to-- gether with the gold reserves, is one of the most comforting factors in the thought of post-wa- r economy. This metallic base is one of the strongest insurances against infla-tion and worthless money. A cur- - rency backed by the huge stock of silver and gold in the United States vaults will always be of value. In addition many economists be- - Iieve that it will yet play a vital role in the war before it is over. ' The Orient, particularly China and India, hold the largest hoarded stocks of the white metal and their money is of vital concern to the world in general. C. V. H. Says Believe it or not, but, v p are informed that during t he fisra! yar ended June 30 1942, t he drinkers and smokers of America, had contributed into the federal treasury, in hidden taxes, enough money buinl 33,264 medium tanks, or 5227 heavy bombers, ur 609 sii bmarme-- . or 499 destroyers The internal revenue taxes (in a. forms of liquor and tobacco, for the past fiscal year, amounted to $1,892,498,921, and every cent of it came out of the pockets of the citizens who bought liquor or tobacco in some form or other. According to the commissioner of internal revenue, liquor taxes of all sorts col-lected by bis buieaus totaled $1, 048, 516, 706 which, inciden-tally, was $228, 460. 502 mote than the liqin r tax eol'ected the previous year. Applying the liquor revenues to naval aircraft, it would be ample to build 319 submarines of modern type, or would build 290 deptroyers.

VISION AND REVELATION COME TO GREAT CHURCH Thf church of England, with William Temple as Primate, has seen a vision a vision of social justice. Sleeping for ages it has avakened to the economic need of man. It is ex-periencing an upsurge of liberalism that means a new order. Kepentant, it sees that it has not filled its ideal for human inity and has fumbled its opportunity. It now sees (hat it must be responsive to the people in their everyday lives, vviih a general love for and symphaty with the laboring classes, and a deeper interestin the poor and nee-Jy- , and a belief that they have a right to something more than the bare necessities. And here is its new revelation that has finally pierced its erstwhile adamant soul: "The resources of the ca.itli re for the eom-co-good, andshouldnot be limited o exploitation by a few for personal gain. No longer can the church si and aloof from the common need. No longer should the in. lustriahst exploit labor for personal gain." Yes, reader, that is a revelation . Weta e joy in bringing it out from such a high source. From our little corner we have been saying it for years It has been our economic gospel Now if this great church "ill square its deeds to its words we shall personally be one of the happiest men on ar'.li.
