Men Have Been Blind to Opportunities to Be Found in Agricultural Pursuits By Warner M.VaNotden, New Yk Bnlef O-r- ' 'I Eyes have been blinded to the magnitude of the opportunities afforded by the development of agricultural pursuits, due in great part to modern inventions having made easily possible the accumulation of wealth which has been gathered with but little heed as to how long the supply would last. It has been done in our skimming way as we do many things-- pip the froth without tasting the substantial. But the roots of humanity 6trike deep into the earth and it is only now when the question of our very existence ia automatically forced on us that we reflect upon the pos-sibilities of this endeavor. From time immemorial the farmer has been the vertebrae of all nations, and the countries who possess the wisdom of foresight have accorded him. his rightful place. Countries which have turned their minda and attention to other pursuits are becoming cognizant that their life will be at stake if more effort is not directed toward agricultural develop-ment. The pendulum is swinging backward once more and fanning will come into its own. Farming unlocks a thousand doors of opportunity. The days of pioneering are over. Trails have become roads; facilities for the trans-mission of intelligence are innumerable. The development awaits the keen awakening to the modern necessities of sustenance. To the homeseeker, the man who wants a paradise, his own vine and fig tree, farming is replete with suggestions and there is no country better prepared to promote these suggestions and individual dreams than the United States. Millions of acres are going practically to waste, but the enormity of this available land should in no wise create an infamous reflection upon the quality and condition of the land, but rather construed as a derogation of the man who has been content to look afar for verdant fields without inspecting those about him. Ii H " , r 7, C .IMUNITY PRlt)E AND PATRIOTISM IN BINGHAM. , . " . v ..,;...;' '',' . v- "a I f . , --"here is one Vital point which goes far in the making of a !' ?V that Binnam in some degree is deficient, and that is the "i' ' r er of community pride and patriotism to home industries. M fnm haa many advantages over other towns and if they were f t' perly used there .tfould be no town in the state that would ,i V ' Jhd above her. i But if a town is to gain the prestige to which . t 5s entitled the people who live in it musi; be interested in its de-- ' t' . Jopment arid welfare. "And the best way to manifest that inter- -' jl est is by deeds rather than words. , j j ' ; In the first?place the people who live here should make it a I ; point to patronize the home merchants in preference to those in ' i " alt Lake. : , The business houses here are in every way adequate ' i , 1 1 to supply the .needs of the people living in the community, and to f r go to Salt Lake to purchase things that could be obtained from (' local dealershows a lack of local pride and local patriotism. If jf . ' people here .would make it a point to patronize local dealers and ? " i buy nothirig outside of town that could be bought here there would . K , j soon be a marked improvement in Bingham. There is an enor- -' mous amount of money here and a great deal of it is spent with )jf merchants and dealers who do not live in the camp. U J f i ; - There are many other particulars which might be mentioned ' along" this line that would aid in building up the town, and a trade-- 1' j at-ho- movement would not be out of place just as. this season of f.'U , the year. If the people spend their money here they will become f t much more interested in the town. It will develop local pride and - I- - vthat is one thing the town now stands in great need. It will help V I Jl 1 every line of business and it will raise the town in the estimation of other communities. For a long while Bingham has been ridi-- I ' r culed in many ways by other towns and cities and this has been cine largely to the fact that the majority" of the people here did 'ft.-- ' not care what outsiders said about the town. In fact a great , Tnany home people have not been interested in the reputation the ' town has abroad. 'j . Bingham needs a closer community spirit. A spirit that will ' . keep the money produced here in local channels as much as possi-- . tie. With the beginning of the new year nothing would be more appropriate than a movement in that direction. i British and American Women Co-opera- te to Do Their Part in Winning the War By Mn. Pember Reevn, Member British Food Commiiiion The appeal to the women of America, who love nothing better than to make their families comfortable and give them of the very best, brings home to us here almost more than anything else the extent to which the United States is entering the war. The knowledge that American women will reduce both their expenditures and the food consumed by their families will stimulate us women in the United Kingdom to see to it that we do our share, and more than our 6hare in the common sacrifice. The foodstuff? saved by such means which have also to run the gantlet of submarines, will be regarded when they reach us as a very sacred treasure. There will be, I earnestly believe, no waste on our side of the water. "Women of these islands will respond warmly to the efforts of the women of America and will never forget the good fellowship of it. They will do their part to win the war as surely as will the men ia the fighting forces. ... , . ., . f COLD WEATHER IN THE EAST. .' ... ' The5 winter so far has been unusually severe in the East and .j. , for some time zero weather and colder Jias prevailed in many sec- - lions along the coast. Last Sunday the entire east coast was visit-- , --y. ed bytthe coldest weather ever recorded in December. The cold , ". , waVe'extended from Maine to the Florida keys. Points in the , - , Northern and New England States had weather 40 degrees below i: - zero, andVero weather was recorded in a number of the Southern . " States,' Even as far south as Miami, Fla., the winter home of ' '.Will&w Jennings Bryan, where it is claimed the gardens are as V fair irr January as in May, had a severe taste of winter. It is ' ' ' said that the first snow in the history of the city fell there last ' - : Sunday T During all this time it has been comparatively warm in the West. The weather in this section has been so mild for the past few weeks that it is said the cherry buds are swelling. "The weather here is quite a contrast from what it was a year ago. A few who have gone to California have returned because Utah is vmore nearly tropical this year than he Golden State. , - EXPLAINING THE BOLSIIEVIKI. JT' AM,,J"4" edit oriai the Ogden Standard recently undertook "': the task of explaining in detail the meaning of the Bolsheviki, but v after the lengthy discussion the readers must have been left in doubt as to what the word really meant. The Standard said that the word was made from two other words, both of which had a meaning of their own, and that as a result the word Bolsheviki was used in the plural. Most every one who reads the press dis-- - . patches ia aware that the word is used in the plural, Jaut there are i many people Who do not know what the. singular 'form of the word is and if the editor of the Standard would only tell this he would be imparting real information to his readers. Violent Shock of Explosions in Battle Has No Effect Whatever on the Weather By C F. Martin. Chief of the United States Weather Bureau The violent shock and the heat of explosions in battle have no effect whatever on the weather. All weather factors temperature, precipitation and wind velocity, ultimately depend on the heating and cooling of the atmosphere. The idea that battles cause rains is very old. In the earlier timet the rain was attributed to the clash of swords aid sweat of soldiers later to the noise of cannon and guns, then io the dust particles (smoke) caused by the burning of black powder, and now. bv some, to the eases freed bv " , r , O the explosion of guncotton, etc. Anyone at all familiar with the real cause of rain (the cooling of humid air by vertical convection) will see at once that it cannot be induced by noise, nor by the gaseous products of modern explosives. Furthermore, statistical studies show that the weather during years f war does not differ appreciably from the weather durine vearn of nencf SCARCITY OF SWEETS. ' That something approaching a sugar famine in pome sections ' of the country is evidenced by the wail of a paragrapher in an """v " Eastern paper who remarks. "The fastidious girl who used to turn up her pretty nose at anything less than a dollar box of candy is now glad to get an all-da- y sucker." Germany, if she consents to an armistice with Russia, will on.y do so if it is observed on all fronts. The Roumanian seems to be m doubt, being commanded by General Stcherbatcheff What might not be behind a front like that? Senator Stone of Missouri has profited by the example of a "Reed" shaken by the wind. . Life is lonely, life is glorious, When its aim is high. ' Every breath should lift us nearer, Nearer to the sky. - But when duties are completed, . Each before its hour goes by ,t " . Death's last pang is then defeated, , 'Tis a glorious thing to die. Life is lonely, life is glorious Every happy breath: Every action though victorious. ' Brings us nearer death. But the life that's nobly given To a purpose deep and high, Wears a laurel wreath in heaven, Tis a glorious thing to die. Anon. Speaking of porkless Tuesdays, why not have a porkless Con- - gress ?

Do YOU "catch," with President Wilson, "the voices of human-ity that are in the air?" There are no unimportant fronts in this war and every rear must be well guarded. Lenine. of course, has his eye on the munitions shipped from this country, with the intention of placing them in the hands of the Russian government. And Germany has her eye on Lenine . as the possible recipient of so valuable a consignment. SmasMhiundgdltihngrouthgrhouisghtheis, let us all hope, a closed lnc,dent' present need.
