MADSEN, EDITOR. Office at Brigham as Second Class Matter. Utah, City, Entered at the Post PROTEST. In an editorial in its issue of Wednesday of last week, our esteemed contemporary, The Journal, declared that It belives a confessed gambler "is no better nor no worse than the rest of A us. Does the Journal mean by that that the law breaker is as good a citizen as the law abiding man? Would the Journal have its readers understand that it regards the laws on the statue books as mere figures of speech and not intended to be the yard stick by which right and wrong are measured? Would the Journal have its readers assumd that it has no respect for the law but condones offenses against the statutes? Would the Journal have the impression go out that it would just as soon have a law breaker guiding its own destinies as a man of probity? Does the Journal mean to imply that confessed law breakers are as high a type of manhood as the man who has lived above the law all his life? As to a. choice of companions, would the Journal select those who confess to transgressing the law to those .whose honor has never been Would the brought into question? Journal give undying allegience to the government of the nation, the government of the state, the government of the city if all the officers confessed to having broken the law? Does the Journal mean to infer that a man who has spent his entire life in righteous living, establishing a character that is beyond reproach, is no better than a man who is brought before the bar of justice to answer to a serious crime and pleads guilty to the charge? Would the Journal place a premium on crime by putting it in the same class with probity? I , There is every reason to believe that notwithstanding the high cost of labor, machinery, seeds, feeds, fertilizers, etc. the farmers of the United States will continue to grow the normal amounts of agricultural products. But because of decreased war needs and increased production in European countries, the farmer will need to give special attention to cooperation and efficiency in standardizing, grading, and marketing, if they are to be able to sell their products at prices that will equal the cost of production. Fortunately, the farmers in their bureaus and similar extension organizations throughout the country have an agency for effective organized cooperation with each other and with the Federal Department of Agriculture and State governments in studying problems of production and marketing which will greatly aid in meeting the situation. At this time, therefore, no effort should be spared by farmers to strengthen these county farm bureaus and other county extension organizations for the efficient handling of problems of agricultural production and We have no right to place a const- markting and for availing themselves ruction upon the intent of the sentence of the help of the State and Federal referred to above but we do have the government along both of these lines. right and we propose to exercise it Officers of the Brigham Farm Burmost vigorously in challenging the eau camplain of a lack of interest in obvious meaning of the statement. the movement by local farmers.

WAR AND PESTILENCE. (Continued from first page) from battle aggregating 39,138. To j this should be added more than 3,000 names published since January 8, and 1,551 from the Marine brigade. Then, as few of the 10,000 still reported miss-- ; ' ing are thought to be alive, our total loss of life will probably reach 50,000. These tabulations show the losses in killed, missing, and prisoners, by divisions, the First (Regulars) leading with 5,248, and the 28th (Pennsylvania National Guards) following with 3,890. The lists of wounded are still incomplete. General Pershings November estimate was 189,955, and up to the beginning of February 149,418 names had been published. Of our men in hospitals from January to October last year, 85 per cent, recovered from wounds and 93 per cent, from disease. In our overseas Army 1,100 have lost limbs and only 100 have been blinded. In the Allied armies 7,000 were blinded and nearly 40,000 lost one eye. Literary Digest. ' THOMAS WHEATLEY, It Ml Sum and ar Pruning Time me illard- - rry ier. ( mu tale. rat W sen. cond HAS FRUIT.
