Whitney, 145th Artillery ) I As he Bits with his fellow comrades, in the mesa hall's dismal cheer, And they talk of the times when they, too, were far from this bleak frontier, : Is it Btrange that their thoughts should turn back to the joys of days gone by? And the thought of the men known as slackers puts blood in the soldier's eye. - Js It strange that the men who have given their future ambitions and all, ' And who sacrificed all of their feelings, for the sake of America's call? . Is it strange that they look on the slacker,' who has thrived on the fat of ' the land, '.:.,.,' A-And pronounce him a white-livere- d scoundrel and a traitor to Uncle Sam? All men were created equal, so our greatest philosophers say. And all should shoulder the burden equally day by day. Then, why not, when one's country needs him, follow this elegant plan, And not let the blue-bloode- d fellow fight for the slacker man? This soldier's words to the slacker Is only a meager attempt : 'T To interpret the hearts of thousands and express their utter contempt For the man who will put on his "dicky," extract cigarettes there from, Light one, and strut for his lady on the night of the Junior "prom." Cock of the walk his ambition and cock of the walk his belief. No man in .the world can approach him, no man can suffer him grief. Why should he join the army, he's contented with civil life? There's no music inspiring his manhood to the sound of the drum and the - As you dance this year at the Utah, think not of the soldier man, But have a good time with your lady, enjoy your life if you can. ' ( You'd better enjoy it, brother, right now while you hold the full sway, " ;. For the end of the war is coming and the dawn of the judgment day. f" We don't need you to lick the kaiser, we don't want you to fight, Just remember, the men of this country will return when their duty's It done; may be a matter of years, boys,, yet It may be a matter of weeks, But the innermost soul of the man, boy, prompts the action, and action speaks. Oh, we'll dance, too, you needn't feel "cocky," we'll dance to a livelier tune Than you who dance at the Utah 'neath the rays of a silvery moon. And we'll sing as we march through Paris, in lieu of the Junto dance; And we'll dance as we fight for freedom on the war-ridde- n plains of France. Now, just a word to the ladies, who will always remain the same: Pleasure and luxury seeking, e'en with men who would not play the game, Why don't you sacrifice something In response to the president's call. And not have your height of ambition reach just to the banquet hall? Can't you see it's for you we enlisted, for you that we're willing to fight? You should do all you can to lead us in the rays of a heavenly light, For you have the power of guidance, either for right or wrong, And the man who has your inspiration can fight with his heartfull of song. Hooverize, save and be humble, contented to stay at home and knit For the men who are guarding your freedom and the men who are their bit doinjt Carry no thought for the slacker force him to see his mistake I or the greatest majority are cowards, and their claims for exemption a fake. Of course, there are hundreds of fel Iws who have tried, but to no avail These men have a place with our number, when duty called they didn't fail And when we return from the conflict, after fighting in foreign lands, Each one of us, tired and weary, will be eager to shake their hands. We know them and they needn't worry, nor take the above lines to heart; For we know they' have done their duty and were willing to shoulder their im-part. .. f GH' Although we regret that they're missing, it Is better they stay in Salt Lake'' ' To take care of our interests in Utah . which the slackers ore eager to take. -- Take care of our girls from these fellows, make that your part In the game. 1 While we introduce to the kaiser the men who made Utah's fame, And we'll never be back till it's over and we make the kaiser submit. To the superior brain of our president, backed up by real Yankee grit. BAKERS SEND RESOLUTIONS io cenwi ' DEMON .' President Thomas N. Taylor Of The Utah Bankers Sends A Letter To Utah's Congressional .Delegation " President T, N. Taylor, of the Utah Bankers Association sent a letter to-day to each of our two senators and representatives in Congress calling their attention to the resolution re-cently passed by the Bankers of Utah in convention assembled in Logan. Mr. Taylor asks for consideration of these facts as herein set forth and hopes that the Utah representatives in Congress will take heed to this re-quest. The following is the resolution passed by the 'Bankers or Utah: Vte, the members of the Utah Bankers Association, assembled in annual convention, wish to call atten-tion to the following conditions: The citizens of this State have loyally met every demand made on them for funds to carry on war ac-tivities. They have largely oversub-scribed the State's allotment of the cash Liberty Loan issue, and have cheerfully and promptly given much more than has been asked to the Red Cross and similar patriotic organiza- tions. We hope and believe they will con- tinue to respond to the needs of the nation, but we desire to point out that in so doing they undergo greater hard-ships than citizens of other states are called on to bear. This arises from the fact that of the millions on millions of the State's financial resources thus withdrawn there is no proportionate returns in the form of corresponding govern- ment expenditures MAFFICK OUt WITH FACTS "Everybody Ought To Know About Tanlac; It Is Wonderful," Says Mr, Peterson Statement after statement is now being made In connection with Tan-lac, the-- "Premier Preparation," which is accomplishing such remarkable re-sults throughout the United States and Canada. Arthur Peterson, gen-eral manager at the mines, of the Seven Stars Gold Mining Company, Unionville, Nevada, who is spending (he winter at the company's offices 212 (Main Street, Salt Lake City, in relating his experience With the medi-cine, said; "I can recommend Tanlac as the best medicine I have ever tried, and srtnee taking it I feel better than I have in years." Mr, Peterson waa born in ISalt ILake City, but lived for six years in iEI Paso, where he was captain of compa-nies five and six of the fire depart-ment, and it was there he realized the wonderful powers of Tanlac. "When I began taking Tanlac." Mr. Peterson continued, "I was all out of shape, suffering from stomach trou-ble so I couldn't eat anything scarce-ly without it hurting me. 1 had verv little appetite, and the gas on my stomach would bloat me up and keep me In misery for hours after meals I was constantly taking something for constipation, had fearful headaches, and was very nervous., (My rest was very poor, I was tired all the time, and would get up in the mornings feel-ing as worn out as if I hadn't gone to bed This condition had been going on for three years, and I had gotten to where I never felt like doing any-thing. "I was then living in El Paso, ad so many people there were talking of the good Tanlac was doing that I got me a bottle, and from the very first 1 began to feel better. My stomach stopped bloating in a short time, my head quit aching, and my constipation i and nervousness disappeared. I have not been sick since d finished my third , bottle of Tanlac a year ago. My appe- - tite and digestion are still, perfect I sleep good and am feeling fine Tan-lac made a new man of me and anv-- one wishing to do so may call me over the phone, Wasatch 26119, or Wu-- Batch 2ilftl-j- , and I will take pleasure ' in verifying this statement.

JAPAN HAS OFFERED EVERY PURCHASER OF AUTO OR TRUCK IN EMPIRE $500 Japan has offered every purchaser of an automobile or truck in the em-pire $500 toward the purchase price and $460 yearly to help pay for the maintainance of the vehicle, in for the privilege of speedily commandeering motors when the oc-casion demands, according to ad-vices received by the foreign sales department of the iB. F. Goodrich Rub-ber Company. This subsidy is Intended by the im-perial government not only for the T.Uck requis!t'oning of cars, but also to promote their use and to eventu-ally encourage their manufacture within the empire. This aggressive action by Japan has still another im-portant function. Horses are scarce in Nippon and most of the trucking is Dy men who pull d carts " most of the passenger traffic on (the streets and hfghways is by means of jinrikishas. Labor is in strong demand and a more general use of motor vehicles would release thous-ands of men for work in factories. Japan's action will add impetus to 1 the export of American made cars I and tires say Goodrich officials. It will be several years before Japan will be able to produce anywhere near her own consumption of motor ve-- , hides and accessories. But three con-cerns in Japan are now building au-tomobiles. One of these has made about a half a dozen cars and anoth- er is assembling from parts imported K,m America.

We shall naturally turn, therefore, I suppose, to war profits and incomes and luxuries for the ad-- j ditional taxes. But the war profits and incomes upon which the increased taxes will be levied will be the profits and In-comes of the calendar year 1918. It would be manifestly unifalr to wait until the early months of 1919 to say what they are to be. It might be dif-ficult, 1 should imagine, to run the mill with water that had already gon over the wheel. Moreover, taxes of that sort will not be paid until the June of next year, and the Treasury must antici-pate them. From the President's Ad dress to Congress. WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN HAD A $3,000,000 DAY The War Savings Campaign has reached its first $3,000,000 day, as shown by today's report of receipts by the Treasury Department Sales of the savings stamps in the past three days have been: $2,293,000. $2,970,000, and $3,049,000. Three millions a day from the thrift stumps provides the Treasury with about one-tent- h of the entire amount now being expended by the nation fcr the war. While $.1,000,000 is oniy j cents a day for every man, woman and child in the country, the entire cost of the war is only 3i cents per capita a day. The National War Savings Commit tee, delegated by the Treasury to en-list ilO.OOO.Ooo Investors in the baby bonds, anticipates soon reaching the $6,000,000 a day rate necessary to place the $2,000,000,000 Issue within a year. This will be 6 cents a day per capita. The sale of these stamps will the government's entire emer-gency shipping program. The current Treamiry receipts from their sale are already averaging the cost of building 12,000 tons of shipping a day, Mozart Always Composing. After stating thut while composing Mozart never went to the pluno, remarks: "His Imagination distinctly and vividly presented to him the whole work he hud conceived." Mozart, as ho told his father, was al-ways immersed In music, went about with It all day, and liked to speculate, ' study and reflect. From his wife we leurn thut his mind was always In mo-tion, that he was continually compos-ing. Pope's Income Uncertain.
