So tlie fun will start and everybody In the old town will be on tlie Job to fun for bis favorite team. And believe us, .something worth while in the baseball line Is sure going to happen. The Welfares lmve been plugging along for some time past, and have received a great deni of that practice which they needed a few weeks ago. And likewise, the town boys have been keeping their hull togs In fulrly good condition, exiiectfng some time or other to meet up with a bunch they would renlly give u cow to bent.

Of course, 'tlie rivalry is going to le of the sort, and all that ; but It looks ns If the women nre going to take a deep and deadly interest In Ihe proceedings, and whenever they do tuke mi Interest there's sure something happening all the time.

Tlie American Legion is already wielding a mighty Influence upon rll big Issues of these post-wu- r times. As an illustration of the attitude In the field of politics the following resolution was adopted by the Nutlonal Executive Committee : "Resolved : That The American Legion, In accordance with Its announced principles as expressed In tlie Preamble of Its Constitution and In tlie resolutions adopted by it In caucus asaem-byestands squarely agulnst violation, or threat of violation, of law and order, whether by Individuals or aggregations of individuals; that It advocates, and urges upon Its membership to advocate, the Imposition of full penalties upon violators of the Espionage Act; that It Is Immutably opposed to, and urges Its membership to oppose, the admission to the national legislative body, or to any other public office, of persona of doubtful loyalty, and more especially of those whose disloyalty has been Judicially determined. The Utah Soldiers Memorial Celebration has been definitely set for the three days commencing October 8th, plans fur tlie big event having already been outlined, tentatively. Under the direction of John D. Spencer of Suit Lake an elaborate: impressive program is being arranged, which will lie held in the Tabernacle, Wednesday night, October 8. The local fighters expect to have their organisation In working order by that time. d, UTAH POSTMASTERS' TION. CONVEN- ..EXHIBIl The of Parker B. With the I'rutt, head of tlie vocational education In the schools of the Jordan district, and the approval of D. C. Jensen, superintendent of the Jordan schools, tlie Utah Pnblic Health Association la planning a complete Utah made exhibit of Its work at the state fair in October. Everything exhibited In the booth will be made by the school children of the Jordan district In a conference of John W. Jacobs, executive secretary of the Utah Public Health Association, and Mr. Pratt It was decided to have the boys build a series of panels, simple, but effective. The girls will do the lettering nnd Mr. Jacobs will furnish the copy. The work of the Utah Public Health Association along the line of the prevention of tuberculosis will be largely featured, though there will probably be some showing of the modem health crusade chores which this year have been adopted as part of the school curriculum. George Everson of Spokane, regional secretary for the National Tuberculosis Association In the northwestern states, in a letter to Mr. Jacobs has expressed pleasure over the Idea that the boys and girls of the state lay out the exhibit, and has recommended to the executives of each state that they adopt a similar plan.

Immunity Bath. In criminal trials. Immunity hath means exemption from prosecution. The expression was first used several years ago, when several defendants in a trust case were discharged by the United States court on the ground that they had gained personal Immunity by furnishing the evidence upon which march of thought and events; and the Indictments were based. those that have not are dead.

From now c on it's resilin' and wrltiu' and for tiem mid a faraway look to fame. This year tlie school age is extended. All under eighteen years of age must register, unless they hare finished the high school course. The new law has, of course, made some provisions In cases where It can tie shown that children must work, tint even so ull'up to eighteen must register and must apply themselves at least 144 hours to school work during the year. The principals of the grades and the superintendent of the district will consider all requests of those desiring to remain out of school for any reason whatsoever, and will puss upon the merits of the several requests. However, no one should get the Idea that work excuses him from registering.-Almust register somewhere. The Midvale school has the good fortune to have all Inst year's teachers back again, with the exception of six. So the excellent work of last year cun continue without a hitch. Principal Jensen Is exceedingly optimistic, and looks for a record breaking year. It seems that the parents are beginning to take a more active of their Interest In tlie school-worchildren. But the Interest which they should tuke is still theoretical, rather than practical, and altogether too lit:s pay by parents tle "Stc-llo- n most Important life work of their children.

A glance at the program la sufficient to prove that the postmasters of Utah are taking au active Interest In the big questions of tlie day. Naturally, they are Interested In questions which directly concern them in their offlclul capacities, and without doubt are the leaders In nil necessary postal reform and liettcrnient measures. SHIRLEY CUTLER GONE TO MARION. i GOVERNMENT MOVES TO PUT AN PRICES BEGINNING TO TURN PRESIDENT DECLINES TO FIX END TO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE FOR THE RAILWAY DOWNWARD, DECLARER SHOP MEN ON COAST. ATTORNEY GENERAL PY Railroad Men Told by Union Chief TnatThoy Must Resume Work or Face Suspension and Severe Punishment Slump Has Net Yet Gathered Momon turn. But He Adviaea Public to Give Government Chance to Shew What It Can De. Wsshingiuu. The striking Iraiiniieu who have been causing no end of grief to shippers on the luciflc count have been wurned by the government, and the head officer of their union, that the strike must end ut once. Kluinid the nicu persist lu remaining out, .hey lmve been warned they will lie deliurrod from the union and unlou men will lake ilieir places, in order to resume ojieniiiun of train service suspended when an uumiiliorized sympathetic strike was sprung by radicals in Washington. Prices are beginning to turn downward In various parts of the country, but the slump has not yet gathered momentum sufficient to affect purchases for immediate use, according to reports to the department of Justice. Attorney General Ialiuer, asked how soon resulls could be expected from the campaign to reduce the cost of living, said all the government wanted was a fair clutnc-- to show what could be done to tuke the artificial Inflation out of Uie murket. He said officials were well pleased with the success so far attained and that cumulative results were expected when congress enacts amendments to the law by which criminal penalties can be Inqtosed on profiteers and hoarders. We hope the public will begin to reap the benefit of our efforts before For Instance, long,'' Mr. Fulmer said. we are making progress in obtaining promises from shoe manufacturers as to fixing a limit beyond which prices shall not go. Propaganda which la apparently n-wide, on tlie part of shopkeepers seeking to induce purchases now on the pretext that prices will be materially higher next season, watt condemned by Mr. Palmer as one certain thing which would make prices continue rising If heeded. Ills attention was culled to advertisement In various papers stating straw tints, cloth-rug tnd cPVr trticlc. should be bought before' next year's prices become effective. It Is very unfortunate that some merchants take that attitude, and we have been sindyhig the situation, the attorney general said. Extensive purchases now, reducing the supply and increasing the demand, would muke their predictions couie true, whereas we hope for a normal price level if the people do not stampede Into a buying hysteria.
