McNeeley) eugared with many dollars are their ministrations to be had, while from less alluring cases, though their aid is equally needed, they make it an ethical duty to stay away. At every session of the legis-lature, when changes in the laws pertaining to the practice of medicine are sought or proposed, there is much fluent talk of the high ideals and the special standards required of medical men. Here appears to be a case for these orators, either as officials or as individuals, to get busy with a probe as to the behavior attrib-uted to some of their professional associates. If it shall be shown that the story told to the police was unfounded, it is still the doc-tors' due that the public should know it; while of course if the tale is true, not a day should pass before measures are taken to purge the profession of the contemptibly selfish practitioners who have disgraced it. News. , . , PHYSICIANS, HEAL YOURSELVES! "'Professional ethics," as applied by any of the "learned pro-gressions," is a pleasant-soundin- g phrase. But if the story told to " ihe police is true, one wonders under what particular phase of pro-fessional ethics is concealed the real reason why something like a "dozen physicians refused to answer the call for help to a dying woman in Salt Lake City lately. It may not have been in violation of professional ethics, but certainly it was a violation of common humanity if such a thing happened as reported. It is said that there is no law to compel a physician to attend a case of extremity such as that of this dying woman. It may be, also, that a physician would not have been of any use even if he had arrived on time. None the less, the case will tend to attach a stigma to an honorable calling unless some competent authority lakes the matter up in an investigation that shall clear the fair name of the profession, or takes steps to drive out of its ranks .he selfish, money-ma- d ghouls of the sick bed who would permit an occurrence. The reputable doctors should be the last to tolerate, iust as they are the last against whom the railing accusa-tion can bo brought, that only around the couch of suffering THE FLY SEASON APPROACHING v The fly season is now approaching and Bingham should . jarrange to take some concerted action to combat this pest and me-nace to the health of the community. The town was full of flies . last summer and it will be the same way again during the warm months this year unless something is done to prevent it. There is no excuse for the existence of this pest other than indifference. The fly evil can be eradicated. There are many ; ities in the country where the fly does not molest any one. This "is because those communities have taken the necessary action i;o eradicate the evil. The common house fly depends upon filth -- for existence, and if the town is kept clean there will be no breed-- . ing places for this carrier of disease. The fly seldom travels more than a few hundred yards from the place of its origin, and if it is allowed no breeding places in town this city will be free from the . pest. ': The breeding places can easily be destroyed, and now is the lime to do it before the season opens in full blast. In this matter the city health officer can render the community an invaluable service by seeing to it that there are no open places of filth in : the town. That will mean that there will be no flies here, and aside from the fact that this will greatly improve the health of the , community the people will be free from a very disagreeable pest.

THE STREET PAVING QUESTION , ' During the paat week a number of paving men have visited Bingham with a view of interesting the town board in the matter tit paving the main street. The town does not at present possess the means of doing this work, and there are some other complica-tions here not common in other towns. The street here is very narrow and it would be impossible to pave it with cement as that --' would necessitate the cessation of traffic, there being no other route available for use. From the engineers who have visited the town it is learned ' - that the state has helped and is helping other towns and cities to ... pave their streets where the same is used as part of a state road. . Also the county does a portion of the work. Park City, Provo, Paysbn, Ogden, Logan, Salt Lake City and other places have re-ceived Btate and county aid for such purposes. At present the ' the state is paying two-fift- hs of the cost of paving a street in Payson, and also planning to assist in additional paving at Provo. It seems certain. that the state and county would pay at. least two-thir-ds of the expense of paving the street here. However, if Bingham should undertake the matter of paving it would be necessary for individual property owners to make con-tributions for the work. Engineers here this week estimated that the total cost of paving the portion of Main street badly in need of it would be about $25,000. PROFITTO FLIERS IIIHi Not Only in Added Bank Ac-count, but in Affording Help to Nation. Not Nearly Enough Hogs to Supply nd, and This Condition Will Last as Long as the War and Afterwards. Every person In the conntry who hns a farm or some place In which to raise hops, perhaps already realizes that It Is his or her duty to keep at least one brood sow. But at this season of the year, we should especially give thought to hog breeding or procuring brood sows. Purlng April anf May,-hog- s wltl bring good prices, which further establishes the fact that prices rise highest fn spring and early sum-mer. To the stock raiser,' this mean that right now Is the time to start breeding or buying sows. From the packing plants ft Is learned there are not nearly enough hogs to suppty the demand, and this condition will Inst as long as the war and for a long time afterwards. White there Is always money in hog raising If Intelligently directed, the greatest advantage Is In arranging to market them at a time of the year when prices are highest With the war and the government sta-bilising the price to the grower, one should ftnd hog raising profitable, to ' say nothing of the opportunity It af-fords to kelp the nation and the ranse of humanity for which all loyal Ameri-- j cans are striving. " UTAH MUST RAISE FLOURjUBSIIIUIE White Flint Corn Can Be Suc-cessfully Raised and Would Save Much Wheat Flour. To Produce Substitutes for 25 Per Cent of Our Wheat Consumption it Weuld be Necessary to Plant 9,500 Acres of Corn. One of the serious difficulties en-countered In carrying out the Food Administration program has been the problem of supplying substitutes for wheat flour. The price of our wheat Is based on the Chicago price, less the freight from ttah to Chicago. Sub-stitutes are produced and manufac-tured in Utah only to a very limited extent Tttn necessitates their Im-portation with-- freight added.-makin- g the ratio of value between wheat prod-ucts and substitutes equal to the freight both ways from eastern terri-tory. White Flint corn can be successfully raised la Utah and lend Itself readily to small acreages and garden plots. It Is estimated that there are ap-proximately 61,000,000 pounds of white flour consumed In this state. To pro-duce substitutes for 25 per cent of this, we must produce 15,250,000 pounds. It Is very conservatively esti-mated, all kinds of land and conditions Included, that we should produce 40 bushels of White Flint corn to an acre, which In tnrn will make 40 pounds of cornmeal to the hnshet. or 1.600 pounds per acre. Therefore, 9.500 acYeg will produce substitutes for 25 per cent of oar wheat consumption. It is the aim of the Food Adminis-tration not to allow the raining of the corn lo Interfere with other necessary war crops, but rather to raNe It In small areas which would otherwise prohaMy not b utilised to the fullest extent. Arrangements are. also, being msde with the local mills to provide the necessary faculties for grinding the cornmeal In order that the substitutes Imsy be Immediately available in aU localities. ! A NEW POULTRY FOOD The poultry journals are recommending velvet beans as the lest and cheapest feed for chickens. Velvet beans have not been prominent in the farming world until the last year" or two, but ; they have taken the Southern states by storm. The crop of 1917 appears to have been over a million tons. Owing to the shortage of help many acres were not harvested, and owing to lack if proper mills, thousands of tons have not yet been ground. Many farmers have secured small mills, running by hand or other power to grind them. The Georgia analysis of 24 samples of the pure ground beans averaged : protein, 24.86 ; fat, 5.88; crude fiber, 5.67. Same number of samples of the pod and beans ground together, as it is commonly done, average: protein, 19.19; fat, 4.35; crude fiber, 12.05. It is said that the velvet bean will lower the price of poultry and eggs, for as feed for chickens it costs much less than any other feed. These beans are planted with corn and the farmers aay that the corn crop is larger than when no beans are planted for the nodules on the roots gather and store much nitrogen in the soil. It is claimed that 2,000 pounds of beans can be gathered , from an acre in addition to the corn crop. - THE BRITISH COMMON PEOPLE The friends and agents of the kaiser in this country who are doing their best to stir up trouble between the United States and England by reminding Americans of the War of the Revolution would do well to study history with greater care. If they did so they would learn that British during the Revo lution. and for many years before, was ruled by a German familv that was entirely out of sympathy with the best thought in Eng-land. The Great Britain of those days was ruled in much the same the Germany of today. The common people had few representatives in parliament and fewer friends in the kings cabinet. George III was as much an autocrat as is the present kaiser of Germany, and as much a German. ' A careful study of history will also reveal that the war with the colonies was so unpopular in the mother country that English-.-me- n would not enlist. The government, to fill the ranks, was corn-spell- ed to buy up Hessian peasants at so much per head. . The num-ber of poor creatures who were thus driven into battle against the colonists has been variously estimated at from 17,000 to 40,000. If the common people of England were in sympathy with the revolting colonists, the same may be said of Britain's leadinr statesmen of that time. "I rejoice that America has resisted," . declared Chatham in parliament. "Three millions of people so dead to all feelings of liberty as voluntarily to submit to be slaves would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest." Chatham's sentiments-wer- e shared by such prominent men as jGockingham, Burke, Fox and others. The common people of Britain have always been friendly to ' rrica. Their friendship is more evident today than in the dis-tant past because they are in control of the government. In Revo--" lutionary times, and for many years afterward, they had prac-- z tically no voice in the government. Isn't it about time for Ameri-can school histories to take cognizance of this important fact? Exchange. PROVO OIL SHALE HOLDERS DISCHURE PLANS Locators of 6880 acres of oil shale lands In Nine Mile canyon, Duchesne and Carbon Counties, met last night in the office of 'U T. Walter for con-sideration of ways and means for de-veloping their holdings. There are 16 men interested in what they con-sider the best oil shale land in the state. Tests have shown an oil con-tent of 75 gallons to the ton of much of this shale and it occurs in veins of from 100 to IZo feet thick. There Is a good wagou road to practically all of the property and the shale can be steam shoveled, which will make-tli- e cokt of handling very small. There are many fine sites for erecting works to distill the oil and efforts to build a plant will probably be made. The meeting decided to turn over to J. C. Graham the matter of the de-velopment of the property, with full authority to represent his THE BIG HILL MINE MAY START WORK , i A number of stockholders of the Big Hill Mining Company visited the property Saturday end looked over the ground with an idea to starting work jon this property, which is situated adjacent to the Standard and the Ku-rck- a Bullion mining propertiesin the Tintic district. The Eureka Bullion people have made a proposition to let the Big Hill company work through their 800 foot shaft and drift to the "ig Hill property. They arc still de-bating whether they will work through the iHullion shaft or whether they will ilnk their own shaft deeper. Frank Birch of the Knight (Mining Properties, with headquarters at Silver City, looked over the claims and will make a report to the Big Hill stockholders in the near future. Among the tttockholdtrs of the Big Hill Mining Company are Jene KniRht, Harvey fluff, secretary; John K. Bott and others. Messrs. Harvey Cluff and John K. Bolt of the Big Hill and I). R.
