Everything is exceedingly simple, the lesson of conservation for the good of the na-tion has been thoroughly learned, and the designs shown by the New York houses that have branches there are unusually attractive. ' There is quite a fad for quilting silks and satins and even cotton materials, so as to give an old-tim- e effect abso-lutely fetching. This Is seen a great deal on hats the brims, of course, and the crowns, too. Then there are patches of this quilting effect on the tunics of ' skirts and other unusual places. Spring Colorings That Charm. It is absolutely delightful on a cold snowy February day to stumble upon .anything that will transport one. in the twinkling of an eye, to the fairy- - less Jacket or sweater of silk or wool. ' They ars colorful, too, and are most becoming. Wool and silk Jersey are being used a great deal for this pur-pose. The Two-Yar- d Dress. Did you ever think it possible for you to have a dress made from two yards of material? Sounds like magic, does it not? But the explanation is very simple, as explanations usually are. The Government of the United States asked that wool be conserved, so clever people set to work to see exactly how little material was neces-ai- y for a dress really smart and prac-tical. The result is shown here, made from two yards of fifty-four-in- ma-Iteria- l! Of course, the collar is extra, but it can either be made of the same material, if more is provided, or a contrasting color. A dress of this type can be made of wool, serge or gaber- - mm Achieving Smartness with Two Yards of Material. land of Spring.

The sleeveless Jacket, which seems to have struck a new note in semi-sport- s clothes, may be of tawny copper or ruby red. Colored coats are being shown (and worn now at Palm Beach) with white flannel skirts.

A La Milltaire Things military are still holding the center of the stage, and so it is not surprising to see an attractive little ?uit like the one illustrated here, of tan wool mixture, with the new Sammy Brown belt. The skirt is two-piec-buttoning at the side, and is most convenient for tubbing, as it can be opened out This .fact makes it ap-propriate for cotton materials as well as woolen ones. COUNTY"SHOULD TAKE NOTICE. The county should no longer neglect the matter of hedging . against floods in the Markham gulch. It is purely a county mat-ter, but the way it has been handled for the past few years has made it a menace to Bingham and a cause for much expense and worry. , When the floods came last spring Bingham had the battle to fight and it cost her something like $2,000 to do it. Such should not occur this year, but unless something is done and done without delay it will be the same thing over again. Bingham has kept and is keeping the flumes within her limits in good condition but if outsiders choke the streams with all kinds of rubbish and take no - action to prepare for the melting snow, the people in Bingham will again suffer as a result. There is now a great quantity of snow on the mountains. Some people say J;here is as much as last year. So it will not do to sit by idly and wait. It is up to the county to take a hand, and the matter should be presented to the county commissioners with- - out delay. There are a great many people who live outside of the town who have built over the flume without making the necessary arrangements to care for the spring floods. Also there are places where the flume is open and where people throw old bed springs, --old mattresses, old sacks, pieces of lumber and other rubbish into the stream. This causes no trouble when the water is low, but when the floods come the flume is quickly choked at places where such material is lodged. Of course the people who interfere with this stream without . making arrangements to prevent injury to those below them are liable for damages, but the main question now is how to prevent the trouble before it comes. The county commissioners should come out here and take action at once to clear the flume of all ma-tter likely to cause a flood. It is practically certain that the county will take no action r unless requested to do so. i Therefore, it is" up to the people of Bingham to take the necessary steps for shifting the Markham flood trouble to the place where it belongs. But whatever is done -- must be done quickly. irlc59icl2di&l(&3EIELillaSl fj HowTwo Business I Men Started I H 0 K One of them was wide awake.

Secretary McAdoo has announced that the third Liberty Loan " would be offered April 6th on the anniversary of the declaration of war by the United States against Germany. Full particulars concerning the next bond issue have not yet 1 been given out, but the time is now ripe for the people of this community to get themselves in readiness to absorb as much of the bonds as possible. The credit of the United States is good and will be after the war is over, and every man who buys a Liberty Bond will have something just as good as gold, much safer and something that will bring good returns in the matter of interest. This community has done well, exceedingly well, in subscrib- - , ing for the other issues, and the very men who worked so val- - iantly before will again be at the helm. Whatever the apportion-ment to this community is, every effort should be exerted to see that it is subscribed. But aside from the investment there is another reason why . you want to invest in the Liberty Bonds. Your country now needs the loan in order to be in the best possible shape to win the war. T When you buy a bond you are doing that much towards beating Germany. And that is the big thing now. The war is now in '. its most crucial period and never since the first gun was fired in 1914 has the ultimate outcome been more of a matter of uncer-- -- tainty. If we are to win we must fight and use every available means at our disposal. So every man, woman and child who loves his country should do their part in seeing that the government is not handicapped in the matter of money. Russia is out of the war or she might be considered as allied " with the enemy. Therefore if we are to win the war we must win i by striking hard blows and never letting up. When you buy a bond you have helped that much.- - Get ready for the big April - drive. We are proud of the fact that Utah has marched to the front again with the work of classifying her young men under the draft. It speaks well for a western state and shows again to the world that we are unfurling Old Glory to our young men and women in the right fashion. Utah stood first in the work of getting her "oung men classified in the national draft army lists. Three cheers for the Beehive State! Governor Bamberger has sent out a message of commendation to all local examining boards.

First come first served. A VALUABLE LESSON. There has been a demonstration so complete and perfect giv--- n to the world by the bolsheviki of Russia of the falsity of some -- of the fundamental principles of the radical socialist, that the les-son taught may be a benefit to the world that will in a great measure offset the disasters that have followed. The bolsheviki confiscated all the wealth of Russia and proclaimed its equal dis-tribution. Debts were repudiated and commercial contracts abro-.-yate- d, but the result has been that starvation threatens every-- where. The women and children of the poor, instead of having more, have nothing at all. There are no shoes for them, no milk . for the babies and the sources of production have dried up, not ' to be opened again until the whole theory and the attempt to en-force it is overthrown. The system of production and distribution of wealth is the result of the evolution of centuries.. Every step in it is governed "by law, or by custom that has the force of law. It has not been an even, gradual growth. There have been cataclysms and up-- " heavals, and the world, after they have passed, has always gone - back to the old fundamental principles, and made improvements in their application. The evolution is still in progress, but any man who attempts to completely overthrow the present organiza- - tion of society, will, as far as he succeeds, introduce chaos. There "is nothing short of an infinite wisdom that could replace suddenly with another the present order without producing indescribable . disatsters. It has often been said that an equal distribution or property would cure the ills of mankind, but the attempt to do that has brought about exactly the opposite result. There are jrevious wrongs to be righted, special privileges and monopolies to be abolished, but it must be done by entirely different means from those adopted in Russia. Russia has taught the socialist a valuable lesson and the whole world will profit by it World-- i Herald. 4 "Suffering is the badge of our tribe" was once spoken by a member of the Hebrew race, but we think that it might well be ap-fl- d to woman kind in general. As we have sat and watched members of the gentler sex lay in their beds at one of the hospitals an this state and suffer the agonies which are incident to these institutions, it is astonishing how much pain a woman will suffer .. and yet bear up bravely. After submitting to the pangs of the . surgeon's knife once they will, if he says it is necessary, go back again and submit to the second torture which cannot help but be more severe than the first because of the weakened condition of the whole nervous system. Yet this is not only true of our good women who are suffering thus in the hospitals, but it is equally true of our women in the various walks of life, whether at home or in the field working under the Red Cross emblem or under the banner of the home guards, where young heroes are being trained for future generations to uphold the lofty ideals as set forth in the Declaration of Independence, and the emblem of that freedom that waves over the home and school of every loyal Americai at home and abroad. The sterner sex should be spurred on to . greater service by witnessing the fortitude of these noble women who are o necessary in the making of a great nation. |
