Show THE PROVO POST 2000 UTAH BOYS AT HAVE PAY DAY In the last issue of The Post, Arch M. Thurman, secretary of the Provo (ommert-ia- l club, announced that the business men of the city would pay for boxing and shipping a carload of apples to the Utah boys-aLinda Vista if the farmers' of the county would furnish from their bounteous crops enough apples to justify the movement. All looked well until Mr. Thurman began his canvass for the fruit. Then he had an eye opener that he will long remember, and no doubt others would under the same circumstances. He called on a farmer of Provo Bench, and presented the proposition Jo him. The farmer listened to his talk for about a minute and then turned loose on him with a splendid repertoire of sentiments that at first staggered the local man. He berated the government for taking the men to train for i. ln"fhe fields and harvest thoni'war instead the crops, and could see no good in the cause for which the boys are offering their lives. Needless to say he made no generous offer. His only concession was a few boxes of apples if the merchants would furnish men to pick his crop. Splendid concession indeed. However this splash of cold water failed to completely cool the ardor of the Commercial club secretary, so he continued his journey northward to Pleasant t well-to-d- o Pro-Germ- Grove. It was in Pleasant Grove that lie received one below the belt and our secretary is wondering just where he got off at. lie had met a farmer who raised between three and four thousand bushels of apples this year. The proposition was laid before him in a very earnest manner and he was really enthusiastic over the prospects of giving our boys in California a real treat of Utah apples. He lauded the plan and when Mr. Thurman got out his little note book and asked, now many boxes, please f that Pleasant Grove applegrow-- . er opened his heart wonderfully and said they could count on him for one box. Whether or not Mr. Thurman swooned or just faded out we have been unable to ascertain, but this we do know, the .local man wTas returned to Provo somewhat pale and had a far away look in his eye. nis hopes had been so completely shattered that the promises from these farmers who were willing to give from their crop to make the boys realize that they were still remembered, scarcely revived him. We are certainly pleased to say that he encountered only a few of that type of individual. Most of the apple growers were willing to give bounteously of their crop to the good cause. They were pleased to have Mr. Thurman call and some gave as many as 25 bushels. But now getting back to those men who either refused or would give, just enough to avoid adverse publicity : WhaJ kind of citizens are they! Do the people of Utah county feel that in that class they have anything to be proud of! We certainly feel that it would not take many of that class to put the county in a very bad light before the rest of the state. In fact, we can thank God for only a few of that variety and the fewer the better. o o - Federal Fuel Administration Garfield is waging a hard campaign to educate the public to the necessity of saving fuel, especially coal. He says: Coal is the foundation stone of industry. Without it 'the production of equipment for war must halt. Transportation facilities must stand still. One mans carelessness and wasteful use- may mean an idle factory or a cold house for his neighbor. should heed it. This is good advice and be carried on in should fuel of But the campaign saving where misguided politicians have Washington, D. C., as well, been passing theoristic legislation for the past ten years. Untold millions of horsepower are now tied up in federal reserves under the false name of conservation. for the ben-- , efit of future generations. Just as if you could store waterpower. If it is not used now it wastes in the sea and a new supply is being wasted every second. True conservation is using what we have to the best ad- the-publi- vantage. Preventing the use of our waterpowers which would furnish light, heat, power, fertilizer, munitions of war and innumerable other things, is the rankest kind of waste. The time is here to change these laws which tie up our natural resources. Practically every railroad in the west could be operated by electricity if laws were passed permitting development. Instead we burn up our coal and oil and throw away our waterpowers, the only thing which use does not hurt. o Camp Kearney, Cal.. Oct. 31. Members of the 145th"' Utah Light Field artillery, Utah hospital contingent, and the 16,000 other troops at the camp, got their first glimpse of i double eagle here this morning for the first time in a month." To make a long atory short, today was pay day. Approximately 6750,000 in gold, silver and greenbacks were distributed to the men. Two special trains and more than 50 0 automobiles were pressed into service this afternoon to transport the troops that v. ere granted liberty to San Diego. Tonight the cafes and the theatres are Jammed. Twenty-fivhundred more troops arrived at camp today, bringing the total now under canvas to nearly Troops detraining today were the second California infantry from nrt Mason, San Francisco, and 500 fled men from Camp Funston. Chin straps versus cruppers is the Issue at Camp Kearney along viorial lines. Chin straps are said 2 quite the vogue at eastern and the Utah artillerymen have not been slow in setting the pace here. A chin strap is a loose cord or strap that is looped around the front of the hat and then dropped down around the chin, making a fine anchor - chain tor . the headgear, . A crupper is similar to a chin strap, except that the cord passes behind the ears and anchors the hat in some unaccountable manner to the back of the neck. The entire camp is now beginning to be fitted up with enameled street signs. The streets are numbered In alphabetical order, starting at the north end of the reservation. The central fire station and three subfire stations are about completed.' e -- ' WHAT WILL RUSSIA DO?

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Oct. 31. Two thousand Utah soldiere-- at Camp Lewis today for the first time went through a ceremony that is as old in America as the American army. The men were mustered in.
