''': Not many years ago ihe old fashioned pump was considered one of the accomplishments cf civilization, for 1t replaced the oaken bucket and the world claimed another victory over, drudgery. The chief objection to work before you could drink. The modern water works put the pump out" of commission. Now you turn the tap the water,,"' Is there. There is no work no ." waiting no drudgery. This is the service of the modern age. SERVICE MUST BE CONSTANT in the same classification is the utility .'which brings , light and power to your home and your in-dustrial . establishment. Aladdin's lamp was a source 3f Wonder so is the modern power company. If the Utah Power & UJght Com-pany fails to servo it does not ful-fill its mission. Service in the modern age must be constant not intermittent. We are here to save time and labor for you. , Waits and interruptions must be eliminated. iRealizing this, the Utah Power & iLlght Company has established a system of power plants and transmission lines to assure you Immediate and constant tiervice. We are not like the old fashioned pump. The burden of supplying service rests with us. We do the work and you direct it. We are constantly at your service, sub-ject to call every minute and hour in the day. ADVANTAGE OF DEPENDABILITY The advantage of having more than one power plant or . trans-mission line serving the commun-ity and large customer, is similar to the advantage of having more than one eye. When the eye of the man who has but one fails he is helpless, lie ceases to operate until vision !s restored. 1'; is the same when o. community or cus-tomer is dependent for power upon but one plant or transmis-sion line, for in the case of failure of either of these the power sup-ply is completely interrupted un-til the trouble can be remedied. Tho community or customer, however, that can obtain power from more than one plant or transmission line is like the man who has the blesstng of sight from two eyes. When the sight of one of his eyes becomes im-paired or destroyed, the other takes on additional duties, and as a result of this sensitive ar-rangement he is still able to pro-tect his physical welfare. EFFICIENT PUBLIC SERVICE Service from the Utah Power & Llgat Company is like the sight of many eyes. More than thirty plants attached to a net work of transmission linos, guarantee your service in the face of emer-gency. Your service is continu-ous, there are no interruptions of consequence; this system takes no vacations and works seven days each week. It Is the back-bone of efficient public service. The manufacturing plant ob-taining power from our rystem is bound to be more efficient be-cause It can depend on its power. Few interruptiono in operations ckn be traced to power failures., Factories operating on their own power cannot bo so certain of continuous operation. 'The bigger the system the greater the guaran-tee- that operations will not be subject to interruptions. 61,658 CUSTOMERS SERVED That Is why we are proud of the system we have established In the Intermountaln country. This company has thirty-thre- e water power pl'nts, 1454 miles of high voltage transmission lines and 1241 miles of distribution lines. It has 61,658 customers who are ' using a total of 260,000 horse power In motors, lights and appli-ances. With this extensive sys-tem continuous power and effi-cient public service are natural results. f Efficient Public Service ONCE ORIENT PRIDE Old Merv Is Now but a Desolate Place cf Ruin. ' , t Practically Obliterated by the Great Conqueror, Jhenghlz Khan, Whose : Son Had Fallen In the As-saults on the City. We passed by New Merv and went on to Bairara Ali, named after one of the sons of Tlmur, which is the station for Old Merv and the demesne of the Murghab, formerly the property of the royal family, Mtiynard Owen Williams writes in the Christian Herald.' Balr-a- m AH resembles the great pyramids in that it stands between the desert and the town. ' Accompanied by the twenty-year-ol- d commissar, a remark-ably intelligent young Russian upon whom devolves the task of governing, the district with a decreasing police force, we visited the various ruins which mark the spots where the suc-cessive editions of Merv stood. Merv Is mentioned in the Zoroastrlan books of wisdom and, like every other old city, owed Its existence to a river the Murghab. i Seleucus Nlkator once founded a colony here and for a con-siderable period it was the home of a large band of Nestorians. But it was not until the Arabs, to whom modern civilization owes bo much, took charge, soon after the death of Mohamet, that Merv became a true metropolis. Iluge dams were erected on the Murghab and the entire oasis was well watered from the Irrigating ditches. Merv then ri-valed Bagdad as the greatest city In the orient r Five centuries later, Jhenghlz Khan, enraged by the death of his son before the rampart3 of the queen city of the world, utterly destroyed it The Arable writers assert that nearly a million persons were killed at this time. Arabic writers estimated figures In a typically freehanded way. For 200 years Merv was a ruin, but in the fifteenth century it was rebuilt und continued to exist until 1705, when the emir of Bokhara destroyed the wonderful dam at Sultan Bent and thus turned the lovely ousis into a des-ert Massive as they are, the ruins of Old Merv are devoid of Interest The young commissar, In speaking of the ruins, said, "What sighs and tears these crumbling walls have cost 5" Three beautiful horses, furnished by the government aud driven by a pic-turesque old coachman In a red shirt and sash, black vest and white coach-man's hat, whirled us back through the various sites of ruined cities to the small town of Bairam All, where a new system of irrigation Is building up a new city. Old Merv is an Interesting proof of the 5'Slc transit gloria munl phrase, but It was built in "sic transit' 3tyle, of sunbaked bricks. Only a bat-tered mosque, a groat convent and sev-er- ul huge fceehlve remain above the scarred plain where great cities stood. ' ,; ' ".' r (WW h ' t VMOSX.

McNeeley) WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT It is always a matter of interest to know what the people tre talking about-Mjv- hat they think and say about things in general. People like very much to talk and comment on things that they know nothirfg about, but in regard to those things they have their opinions just the same. There.is a news feature about this and we are not sure but that we should make a department in this pa-per just for the things people are talking about. Such, we think, would make interesting reading. ; . ? There are some people here say and perhaps" some of them think, that the Bingham postmaster writes the editorials for the Salt Lake Tribune. That's what some people here actually say. Then there ae some people here who say that Mr. Cole writes the editorials for the Press-Bulleti- n. That's what they say and no tloubt some of them think. There are also others who say that he postmaster writes the editorials for the Press-Bulleti- n, and ctill others say that all of the editorials are submitted to Mr. Quinn for the blue pencil. That's what they say. and ,it's no joubt what some of them think. You know it is natural for peo-- 1 t)le to have exaggerated ideas about the wonderful pull, ability and influence of some people they dislike, and therefore they get the idea that he's the cheif cook and bottle washer the whole Cheeseand that he has a hand in everything that moves. Now the postmaster here does not write the editorials for the Salt Lake Tribune. That paper pays a man to write its editorials. And the postmaster and Mr. Cole do not write the editorials for the Press-Bulleti- n, and they are not submitted to Mr. Quinn to blue-penc- il. Of course it would not take very much time or thought or knowledge to' write the Press-Bullet- in editorials, but the peo-ple who have been talking are still in the dark.-- Not one of the men mentioned has ever written a line or anything for this paper. . Some months ago Mr. Locke,' who is a man of literary pro clivities as well as a poestater, contributed a humorous story deal-ing with the separation of the town and county officers. It was a harmless bit of fun, but evidently someone thought it a poison-ous arrow aimed at certain people. ' And this same person had also spotted its place of origin. So imagine the surprise and of Mr. Locke some days ago when this man was talking to him about the story, and added, "And I can tell you who-wrot- e it, Cole." Now the ideas of Cole and Locke differ more widely than do the idea3 of the town and county authorities, but there is a case where a man who prides himself on knowing things v as unable to distinguish between Coje and Locke. ,Of course most of this stuff comes to us in a round abo it way, but imagine our surprise the other day when the chief leputy ' sheriff in talking to us, face to face, remarked about a comment in ' a recent issusof the Press-Bullet- in "that was put in by Co' j.'That was some jolt, but we felt sure that the chief deputy meant, no offense and so we; manifested no evidence of displeasure. Still ve could not ljelp thinking about what the people-say- , and the things we'd heard 'em say about how the chief deputy had to 0 to a certain man here every day to find out who ought to be pinched or if any lambs had been marked for slaughter, but we did not say that to him because we did not think it would- - be po-'it- e. Yes, the people say that he has to go and find oy t w ho shall be pinched and who shall be soared, but we think they are wrong. "! Ne do not believe that the deputies have to ask each day for their laily duties, But that's what some people say. Of course those people don't know, but perhaps some of them think so. You see they may not know any more about running the business of the deputies than the deputies know about running newspapers. But you can't keep the people from talking. Some of them are saying that the deputies don't tote fair. They say that a certain woman Convicted for the third time for selling liquor and sentenc-ed for thirty days will not have to serve her term because she has been nice to certain ones. And that another woman con-victed for the first time has to take her terra in the cooler. Now of course this is not true. That is we don't think so, but that's what the people say. Its too bad the way peopla talk and think about things, and they are always talking and thinking of the wa; ihe other fellow does it. It is also said that there are some others who have, been pinched and now the powers that be are trying to forget it, but of course this can't be true any more than ( jt takes three fellows to write our editorials. It is terrible. This thing. of talk is. Just think of it ,the things some people say about some other people. They even say well, no we won't say 1 that new, but will save it for another, time. . - fc m ta ;'si SPIRIT OF AMERICAN SOLDIER . . .The spirit of the American soldier is just now beginning to manifest itnef in France. That spir t is to go forward and fight. That i? what the American soldier has Wanted to Jo :.r many ".years. Ever since the? Spanish- - Vn erican war the soldiers have ; been held back, They wanted to fight in Mexico but were held in check by their commanders. They have been tantalized in San Domingo, on the Mexican border, and in some half dozen latin American republics until their, spirit to go forward and strike is .alino.-- t irrepressible. v 'J his has been galling, but at last they have rented the phce - , whfre they are unleashed and the seasr-- d troow of tho kaiser w:ll not be able to withstand the sIuxk of America's mtrepid sons. The American army is composed of the most soldierly men the world ever saw. They are not thirsty for blood, but they are impatient for action, and wherever they strike the results will be effective. With a spirit that knows no defeat, with a desire to measure swords with the bombastis Huns, and conscious of the fact that they are battling for a righteous cause, there is no power in Germany that can hold them in check. The posterity of these brave soldiers who battled at Bunker Hill, conquored at Saratogo, endured the hardships at Valley v "Rnrcp urpstpd virtorv from defeat at Guilford Court House, tri- - umphed at Yorktown, at New Orleans, at Buena Vista, fought four years at home over a local dispute and crushed the proud Kingdom of Spain without a single reverse, will face without fear ' and fight without hesitancy the best army ever organized by the German Empire. The annals of history furnish no comparison to the valor of the American soldier and the time is almost at hand when all the world will be made to know and acknowledge this fact. The American soldiers are beginning to mix in the big fight and wherever they have delivered a blow it has been with telling . ffect. Those who have been inclined to doubt the courage of the American soldier are now seeing a new light and they will have more to see and learn as the struggle goes on. The American army is composed of real men whose experience in life has fitted them for soldiers. They learned to shoot in childhood, Their sports and occupations developed them into athletes and then they grew up in a land of liberty and that created in them a spirit ''vhich the soldiers of the kaiser cannot have. . It is a great honor to be an American soldier even as in an-cient time;-- ! it was an honor to be "a Roman soldier. For it is the soldiers from this country who are to strike the.Ur.ws that will bring the crowned heads of the Hohenzolh-rn- , the iTapsburg and the Crescent to their knees. From now on America will bo the leading' pmver in the great conflict and to her soldiers will be due the credit fur winning the war.

Corn Oil. For years cracker bakers have thought that only animal fat could be successfully used ns shortening In their products, It being believed that vege-table fats, such ns lard compound, corn oil and peanut oil would not make crackers which would keep in hot weather. For ten months, how-ever, a cracker baking concern in Terre Haute, Ind., has been making commercial goods with 13 pounds of corn oil to the barrel of (lour Instead of an equal weight of lard, and also using 25 per cent rye flour to 75 per cent wheat These goods went through the hot season last summer without trouble, thus destroying what wns practically a myth of the cracker-bakin-g trade. The rye mixture produces a soda cracker and svltlne in no respect darker than a straight wheat article, according to a bulletin of the United States food administration. Barley flour is also suitable fur cracker bak-ing. - . Power of Gentleness. , Kindness pays.

The ancient Egyptians reaped their grain close to the ear and afterward cut the straw close to the ground and 'aid it by. It was this straw that Pha-raoh refused to give to the Israelites. It was because of this refusal to give ihe longer straw to Vt , "Israelites that they were compelled to gather "stub-ole- .'' This was a matter of conside-ring difficulty, seeing that the straw itself had been cut iff near to. the rround. ; Women Also Serve. While In the larger cities their work is not so noticeable, in the smaller centers of population our women are slowly but imrely taking over the work of the men who are now in the army, navy and other government service. So far, our women workers have not taken over the heavier classes of work found in manufacturing plants, be-cause there are still ample numbers of men available. However, In plants where there Is much light manufac-turing women are to be found in profu-sion. In stores, hotels nnd even in street cars, American women are tak-ing the places of men with the col-ors. Women soda-wat- dispensers und elevator runners are now quite common in most cities. Scientific American. Wives Evidently His Hobby, rrofcably the modern world's marry-ing record for men was created by Ceorge Wltzoff, the bigamist, whose marriages have variously been estimat-ed at from 200 to 800.

CONSERVE SUGAR , In this dav of sacrifice, a great responsibility rests on . our noble housewives as well as on our brave fathers and sons. An urgent request is made that sugar be conserved. The serious shortage of sliips has made it impossible for us to import Cuban sugar which has Jr" heretofore supplied a large ' .4 ) percentage of our require- - ments. In the present crisis, all sug- - ar producing states or com- - munitles will necessarily di- - vide their product witli "our boys over there," our valiant allies and other non-suga- r producing states. Conservation in the real sense of the word must be started by thr housewife. This Is tho logical starting point. This in our opportunity of reaping the Joy of sacrifice, f self denial.
