THE LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE The big Liberty loan drive is now the center of interest in Bingham, and every effort is being exerted to see iow quick this community can absorb its quota. Public-spirite- d people and or-ganization have been at work for weeks getting ready for the great event- - and it has been planned that Bingham will raise her . $112,000 within ten days from the time the.campaign opened. Every class m the community is being appealed to and the sen- - timent is general that every person in the camp who is working for himself will be able to take at least one bond. So the third Liberty l6an bonds will be much more widely distributed than were the two former issues. Some important meetings have been held this week and the people are now full of th buying spirit. Those who cannot pay cash in full for their bonds will be allowed to secure them on easy-payme- nt plans, and under this arrangement it will not be difficult for anyone to subscribe for one or more bonds. Bingham has been in the forefront in the other campaigns and it is expected that she will continue to hold first place. Every one who is interested in his town, his country and the men at the front is depended upon to help boost the big campaign. sr ta m Ita 3BT BRAKEMAN FROM PAYSON INJURED HERE TODAY 'Ijut.v Davis, of Payson, a brakeman on the Oram road, met with a severe accident this morning while coming north on tt freight train.

Mr. Davis was bought to the Provo general lioHintal in an unconscious condition, from which he partially re-covered m the afternoon. lie is suffering from a severe scalp wound and concussion of the brain. It is not believed that the skull is fractured, and it is expected he will recover. PUBLICITY WORTH WHILE. For some time there has been much agitation and comment with reference to the packing houses of this country and much of the publicity which has gone out has been a matter of speculation and guess work. Much of this comment has been adverse criti-cism of the packing houses, bufr it was a question in which many people were interested and they read and talked and wrote about it. Some time ago Swift & Company arranged a publicity pro-gram in order that the people might have the cold facts and the matter this concern is now giving out will" bo well worth attention from the public. The action of Swift & Company is highly com-mendable and is a, favor to the public. BINGHAM BLAZING THE WAY Bingham has the distinction of setting in motion a number of valuable movements for the benefit of the country in the time of war and some of them are being copied by othes- - communities. It was this town that first conceived the idea of making direct appeals to foreigners living in the community to become a part . of the sftcial life of the town and work in harmony with others in devising ways and means of increasing the efficiency of our figh-ting forces. v. . This movement has met with success. The meetings held at the Commercial Club during the past few weeks are evidence of this fact. All races and factions here have been welded into one body so far as the prosecution of the war is concerned, and the effect of this move is having a most wholesome bearing on the community. The whole question in the minds of all people is that of making Bingham exert herself to the utmost to help win the war. The work which has been done was well planned, and it is ' now bearing good fruit. TP m X H 3ET The clean-u- p paint-u- p season has arrived. 38T fta XT Have you bought a Liberty bond?

Government Regulation Solution of the Labor Problem During War By ANGUS McSWEEN " Government action, including the formation of a definite labor policy to be adhered to for the period of the war is necessary to solve the labor problem. This problem is now the most intricate and troublesome with which the nation is confr6nted. Labor shortage is hampering preparations in all directions. It is preventing the effective carrying out of the shipbuilding plans of the government, reducing the output of munitions and slowing downvtha production, of coal and other necessary materials. ' Labor is fighting for an extension of unionism." So far as this pro-vides only for the better organization of skilled and unskilled labor, it has the sympathetic support of the government. Capital is demanding not the abolition of the organization but the suspension of organization rules which restrict production. From the standpoint of governmental and public welfare it would seem to be necessary that both capital and labor should make concessions, and that until these concessions are mad the difficulties under which the nation is now struggling will continue. Regulations have been adopted by which highly skilled men will be exempted from the second army draft. This is expected to aid ia keeping the production of necessary industries at a high mark. It will, however, only slightly affect for the better the generally rec-ognized shortage of skilled labor in all industries and it will not con-tribute except in the slightest degree to the solution of the problem of increasing at once the supply and efficiency of labor. It is in connection with this latter proposition that the fight between labor and capital becomes a serious obstruction to the betterment of gen-eral conditions. So long as capital opposes an extension of the organization of labor, labor is not likely to make any concession respecting the suspension of union rules. Hence the necessity of forcing both sides to make concessions and thia can only be done by the government.

About a year after seeing my first case of wood alcohol poison-ing (that one being due to drinking of wood alcohol), I saw a man who had been poisoned by breathing wood alcohol fume? and hav-ing it absorbed through his skin. He was one of six men who had been engaged in cleaning and varnishing a beer vat in a brewery. Of the six, three died within twelve hours. In normal times some preparations of bay rum, Honda water, witch hazel and liniments and various varnishes, lacquers and dyes contain wood alcohol. A year ago I wrote about a man who thought he had neuralgia. He rubbed with a liniment containing wood alcohol. When he stopped using the liniment his neuralgia alcohol absorbed at each rubbing to got well. Enough wood was j make his nerves ache for a day. Robinson tells us in the Journal of the American Medical Association of a Greek who dyed hats with colonte. His hands; were continually spotted with the dye and he absorbed the fumes. Analysis of the dye made by the federal authorities showed that it contained wood alcohol. The man became blind. Robinson quotes a number of cases of blindness, among which is one reported by Campbell. This man became practically blind from rubbing his chest once a day for two weeks with a mixture containing wood alcohol. On account of the use of gram alcohol for war purposes, the , high price of grain, and the government restrictions on the produc-tion and sale of alcohol from grain, the use of wood alcohol will; certainly increase. Wood alcohol cuts oils and varnishes about as well as grain; alcohol. When properly refined it smells and tastes not unlike; grain alcohol, and it vaporizes much like the more expensive pro-- dUttThe disturbed conditions engendered by the war are certain to cause an increased use of wood alcohol. It has been suggested; that the government prohibit its manufacture and use. Thia sug-- ! gestion will not be acted upon, at least until times have again be- - j come normal. It has also been suggested that the government legislate to j restrict the use of wood alcohol to those compounds in which it j will be least dangerous such a law, for instance, as that of Bo-- , hernia. But even should such a law pass, there would still be; need of education. Every manufacturer of liniments, bay rum and Honda water; should loam that using wood alcohol in his products is hazardous, not fnlv to the customer but to the trade as well. i Robinson savs that the United States internal revenue regu- - lations for denaturing grain alcohol permit harmful proportions of wood alcohol. Formula permits 10 parts of wood alcohol, 1 quart j benzine, 100 parts grain alcohol. Ten per cent wood alcohol is at dangerus proportion, as shown by the experiences of Bohemia and; Austria, and, according to Robinson, of England as well. Dr. . A. Evans in the Globe-Democra- t. . .
