I A welcome sight the payroll car at one of Utah's mines. t Within the last year there has been an Influx of Industries into jr; Utah such as there never has been in the history of the state. It it j conceded that Utah needed a cer-tain amount of industrialization and (the change was welcomed, as the growth of the Btate had been com. paratively slow. It' It is only natural that war. brings quick changes in Industry and in-- i dustrial locations. Now that the ' state has what has been sought and other states are continually I, seeking, a determined effort should be continued to make conditions so favorable in our state that indus-tries will want to remain here when the peace is won. The additional industries make for greater payrolls and a better home market for Utah grown and manufactured products. Moreover they help to share the tax burden and afford better opportunity for employment. In the past Utah has lost most of its high school and col-lege students to centers which of-fered opportunity. Let Utah be the place of opportunity and progress in the future. Mining Company Pours Out Ore Despite Returns ?"' t ' ' . , . i I ; . - , . . - .... J (Hi .(( t, . .. - . - v j LL , " - v- .J Tintic Standard Community at Dividend, Utah. Behind the dividend payments made by Utah mining companies for the current year is a story of sacrifice that has been made by them in behalf of the war effort. During this period dividends have been practically nil, as with a compared reasonable return to stock-holders, paid during years prior to the war. One of the large pro-ducers, which has been a big fac-tor in Utah mining for more than 60 years, has been forced to elimi-nate dividends entirely. Another ha continued dividend payments at a reduced rate, paying its last two disbursements largely from surplus rather than current earn-ings. Yet they have continued to pour out their resources for the war effort. Within this same period corpo-rations producing and manufactur-in- g other war materials have been permitted to make a reasonable re-turn and to pay dividends out of earnings to stockholders, who made their project possible. Many of these organizations will be continu-ing on their way when the mines of Utah are worked out and the com-munities that they support are ghost towns. i:iu I PHIALS SOME MQRE CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY In this world of intelligent and civilized men there are today over six millions of prisouera of war behind barbed wire and guarded by machine guns, all suffering to a greater or lesser degree and all doomed to remain there for the duration. Into these dismal camps- - comes soma of the light and work of real Christians, who, as fai as permitted do all the good they can. Fifty thousand members of the Young Men's Christian Association are working among the prisoners without pay, save their expenses, and doing the work that they believe the Master would be doing were he here. They organize schools, furnish athletic equipment, bring in books, motion pictures better housing and more food. An illustration of the Y. M. C. A work is taken from the records of the year 1916. They went into a camp where 10,000 prisoners where languishing in filth and hunger and despair. They were on a burning desert, with insufficient food, impure drinking water. Dysentery, malaria and other diseases were taking a toll of 75 lives a day. These Christians were permitted to come in. They furnished medicines, and wood to make fires so the water could be boiled. They organ-ized educational committees, brought iu books and pencils and paper, athletic equipment, better food, and thus reduced the death rate and disease to normal. This is Christianity in action. Let us have more of it. First Lady Visits London's Air Wardens (1 ? .. VS ."7 """ :'" T! , i ii in fcifimw,h m ' ntflg:ia in i tm p America's First Lady, Mrs. Franklin D.

J Evil For :e$ Seeking to Undermine Social Welfare Utah's good and able senator Thomas stands head and shoulders above many men in the senate and is always working as hard as he can with an eye single to human welfare. He has sounded the alarm that evil forces, the interests, as tbey are called, are at work trying to undermine all the social gains made in the last ten years. Their effort, he says, " s a fight against the people, a powerful and insidious movement on what has been done in the interest of human welfare in the past decade." Yes, the interests want another innings The 200 industrial families and the 50 financial families who control the economic life of the country, or rather, have controlled it in the past, want to again takeover the reins of government. Through the press which they control they again deceive the people and will, if they can, undo the whole Christian program of social security, old age pensions, etc And it is likely the people, being divided, will let them do it. ... - - A Working Man But More The strange being who once lived in Judea was not asham-ed to be known as a working man. He worked with Joseph at the carpenter's bench until he was nearly 30. During this time he helped to meet the heavy tax burdens laid upon the poor, to provide food and shelter for his brothers and sisters; and he shared the worry of the family about making a living. He was a student and studied the history of his nation and learned the story of its great champions for freedom and just-ice for the people. In his first message at Nazareth he declared his absolute oneness with the people and announced that his purpose on earth was to preach the gospel to the poor and to carry on God' fight against tyrants and to make free those whom tyranny had crushed. - PERSONAL..'

Webster America's economic prophet, Edward Bellamy, closes his masterly bonk, Looking Back-ward, with these word?: "All thoughtful men agree that the present aspect of society is portentious of great changes. The only question is; wlnthrr they will be for the bet'er or the worse. These who believe in man's essential nobleness lean to the former view, those who believe in his essential baseness to the latter. For my part, I hold to the former opin-ion. Looking Backward was written in the belief that the Golden Age lies before us, and not far away. Our children will surely see it, and we, too, who are already men and wo-men, if we deserve it by our faith and by our works.

'Mosquito Bombers1 Hit Germany Hard Britain's Secret Weapon Proves Big Success. LONDON. Britain's new secret mosquito bombers, with speeds ap-proaching those of fighter planes, fill one of the worst gaps in the list of weapons needed to attack Ger-many night and day, air experts here declare. Designers long have sought a plane capable of penetrating deep into enemy territory by daylight and then fighting its way out after drop-ping bombs. Up to now none of the bigger German or British planes have been able to do that Even the Boeing Flying Fortresses have not proved capable of such ac-tion. On 10 raids and one encounter over the North sea thus far, the fortresses have been accompanied by fighter planes. They have not made any unescorted flights far over Europe. Although the fortress squadrons . put up a terrific concentration of fire on those attacks, their lack of speed and maneuverability, air ex- - perts said, made them extremely vulnerable if they make long un- - escorted flights. Plane designers always have en-visaged a light bomber with speeds approaching those of fighters even when loaded with bombs and equal-ling the fighters once the bombs were dropped. Such a plane would be extremely maneuverable and heavily armed. It would carry a small load of bombs, leaving the heavy work to the d bombers. The Mosquitoes, four of which had their first action over Oslo recently in which only one was lost, are still on the "secret list." Nevertheless, it can be said they satisfy those re- - quirements better than any plane yet developed. (I- - Ambulance Corps Gets in Tomato Crop . i ? - 4SV fcr' "Al " ;l b & Capt.

They take their biases, their prejudices, with them onto the bench. Upon the whole they try to do the best they can, but the wrongs done in the courts of justice them-selves are so great that they cry to heaven! John P. Altgeld Message From Mars Someone has had an interview with a super man from the planet Mars who ga 'e him a bit of information as follows: "We, too, once had great extremes of poverty and riches, but that was during our dark ages." There are any number of people who are looking forward to absolute equality in the heaven of their hope, but how they fight against equality among men here and now. River Barges Will Carry Oil Federal Craft Will Begin To Operate on the Ohio And Mississippi Soon. KANSAS CIT". ''e 'r1 Barge lines soot. converted river barges which wui provide a carrying capacity of five million barrels of oil, Chester C. Thompson, president of the Inland Waterways corporation, announced here. Putting these barges in operation, to run from the East Texas and Southern Louisiana oil field areas up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to points for shipment east, will make up a large part of the shipping loss river traffic has had on account of the war, Mr. Thompson told mem-bers of the Mississippi Valley as-sociation at luncheon. What this transportation will mean to the East was indicated when Mr. Thompson said the capac-ity of the average rail tank car is 200 barrels. One tow will haul as much petroleum as the average freight train, he said. Will Relieve Shortage. This inland transportation will help supplement the coastal traffic of tankers, lessened on account of submarine attacks on the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. The railroads have done an excel-lent job, in Mr. Thompson's opinion, helping to relieve the shortage in the East, but they cannot continue this extra burden and fulfill all the other demands of the war effort without extra help. The protected Mississippi route thus will contrib-ute much to the war effort. Even wooden barges are being converted for the transportation of oil, he said. The conversion is be-ing financed by the defense plant corporation, with some of the work being done by the Darby corpora-tion in Kansas City. Kiver traffic, normally 55 per cent downstream and 45 per cent up-stream, already is 85 per cent north-bound. This costs 2 times as much to handle as downstream haul. ' The downstream movement of grain, for export to foreign coun-tries, has been lost on account of the war. Likewise, bulk shipments destined for the West coast through the Panama canal were shut off even before Pearl Harbor. Economy of Service. Government restrictions on ware-housing have curtailed other sources of traffic such as sugar, Mr. Thomp-son said. "The economy of our service is the movement of commodities In large volume for stock piling or warehousing," Mr. Thompson said. "When advance supplies of sugar jobbers were restricted to 30 days, naturally we could no longer take care of that business." Steel tonnage likewise had slack-ened on account of the immediate demands by processors on the mills, he pointed out. A big source of business now is of bulk sulphur, from Texas and Louisiana upstream to the consumer industries. Missouri river traffic has been the biggest disappointment of the war-time era, Mr. Thompson said, but minimum weekly service between Kansas City and St. Louis has been maintained since early March and will be maintained "until the ice chases us out." A glowing post-wa- r prospect was painted by Mr. Thompson however. This country, he said, will be the only one with its productive re-sources largely intact after the war. Thus it will be producing and manu-facturing for the entire world. This presents an excellent prospect for river traffic, in his opinion. m m m An Inspiring Sight During the showing of the factual Russian film at a local theatre a man was heard to remark as he witnessed the great peace celebration held before the war, "What damn lies our newspapers have told us." There were 40,000 young men and young women tsking part in one of the world's greatest pag-eants, all marching with the clear, upward look, singing and rejoicing. The eves of men have never looked upon a fner body of youth. They had the appearance of being of pure Israelitish bipod. If they only adhered strictly to the anti Christ profit system this and other nations would take them in their arms and love them. Guests in London Hotels May Have to Make Beds LONDON. Guests even in Lon-don's largest hotels may soon be required to make their own beds, keep their rooms clean and shine their own shoes. ' "The labor shortage has become so acute," said an official of the Hotels and Restaurants association, "that some West End hotels are re- - ducing to skeleton staffs barely able f to cope with the most essential daily work. "Outside London the position gen-erally is even worse. "The labor crisis has coincided with the period of greatest pressure on hotel accommodation since war began. The ministry of works and planning is now agreed that where cost is reasonable d rooms may be repaired and put into commission again."

J j LJ UiiM U--ii Robbing People By Means of "Visions" and Religion Of all the despicable gangsters and racketeers the worst by far are those who rob people through stock-sellin- g schemes by purporting to have had visions and using religion in their swindling. This has been going on in this state for a long time Some of the most flagrant cases are now in federal court and the prosecutors will be derelict if they do not do their utmost to convict them. When men betray their offic-ial trust, betray their church and debase their manhood, death should be the next experience for them, and men should exe-crate their memory. Shame to the ones accused and more shame for those others still in the rotten game hereabouts. Hoeme Desires a Home, But Money Can't Buy It HUTCHINSON, KAN. F. W. Hoeme wanted a home but com-plications set in. First the war blocked his plans to build on his farm. Then he gave up trying to move a house he'd bought in town, be-cause he'd have had to chop down a whole streetful of trees. Then he bought another house but neighbors said "Oh, no, you don't move that out to the country and leave an unsightly hole in our nice neighborhood!" The city commission, squirming under their protests, still hasn't okayed the move. COMMENTS OF C. V. HANSEN, PROVO, Just why some of those in charge of the campaign for the sale of war bonds and stamps find it necessary to put on pro-grams where almost nude women do suggestive dances, sing-ing songs that would shock the tough men of the waterfront, is beyond understanding. We are in a war waged for the pre-servation of civilization. The highest ideals of life are being attacked by foes that seek to put all people in bondage. This is a Hie and death struggle, and it does seem that the people should realize that the day is past when we must cater to the coarse and vulgar things that have in a very large measure, brought this retribution upon us. Belshazzar tried the pro gram of "wine, women and song," but it didn't work. He was "Weighed in the balance and found wanting." History repeats Why commit the same folly? Let us have programs clean and wholesome. Listen to Your Hymns and Mine Selections from Christian Science Hymnal KSL 160 kc Wed. Nov. 18 10:00 to 10:15 p. m. |
