There seems to be but one thought, and that to uphold the hands of the president and the national government to the limit In keeping with this movement, the local Chamber ot Commerce has made the suggestion to the merchants and business men that there should be a general display of flags through out the city. While such a display down town is especially important, dtlsens are urged alv to show the flag In their homes and grounds. Stand by your country and don't be afraid to show your colors. SHORTAGE OF FOOD AND LABOR Serious labor and food shortages face the nation. As a result, two ex ecutive departments agriculture and labor and the civil service commis sion are working out a possible reme dy. There is an alarming shortage of farm labor in the west, particularly due in a large measure to the with drawal of thousands of men for mili tary duty and the attraction of higher wages In the munitions factories, de partment of labor officials told the United Press. This shortage ot farm bands, one department official said, is sure to have a serious effect on the crop pro duction, with attendant high food prices, unless Immediate relief la, pro vided. The labor department has already set In motion machinery to meet the situation as best possible. Farm worker are being sought to replace those who have deserted the farm for other line of work. The civil service commission will report on the districts where farm labor Is short and the labor depart ment will try to fill such places at onee. stock; all the stock yto be ot a unl form class. General Manager Thomas R. Cut ler said after the meeting today: "The board of directors decided to have the special meeting ot the stock holders called and to recommend the amendment ot the articles ot Incor poration, doubling the stock and is suing two shares of the new stock tor each one ot the old. I am pleased to say that the assets of the company will Justify such a step; the earnings of the past two years, due to war prices received tor sugar and the profit realised by the company some years ago In disposing ot its power plant on the Bear river, having been feeld in accumulation until the present time. The Issue will represent actual values, with not a dollar of water. The stockholders are to be con gratulated on the favorable showing made the last tew years, especially in view of the hardships through which the industry passed in 191S. The to tal cost of beets was heavier than ever before in our history, due to the advances made in the price per ton and to the large amounts' allowed the farmers whose beets were frosen, many of which are still In the ground, to say nothing of the other increases in the costs of production. Added to that was the fact that the beets ran about 1 per cent lower In sugar con tent than the year before, which en tailed a heavy loss to the company. Still another factor was the tremen dous shrinkage in the beets paid for before they could be worked. This ran as high aa 11 per cent against am average of S per cent in previous years. The price paid for beets dur ing the coming year, under the new contracts, will, of course, be much higher than last year, the (basis being $7 per ton which, with freights. shrinkage, etc., will raise the aver age total from $7.75 to $8 per ton. but, in spite of this we hope that there will be a large Increase In the acreage planted which, it the plant ing and growing conditions are favor able and a (air crop is harvested, will enable the company to make a good showing for the year to come." TO INCREASE CAPITAL Salt Lake City, Mar. 80. At the meeting of the board of directors ot the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, held this morning, It was derided that special meeting of the stockholders should be called for Tuesday, April 17, for the purpose or amending the articles ot incorporation and Increas ing the capital stock from $10,000 ono to 120,000,000. Should the recommendations of the board of directors be adopted two shares of tb new stock will be issued for each share of the present DUE CONSIDERATION" FOR ALIENS IN AMERICA Washington, Mar. 30. Aliens to whom first papers have been Issued showing a residence in this country exceeding three years will be given 'due consideration," should restric tion of movement or internment of any aliens he found necessary, the labor department, acting on the re quest of the state department, an nounced today.

Democrats of the house caucused today with 32 members absent, and renominated by aoclamatlon all of the old officers of the house. Representative Gaillvan of Massa chusetts, leading democratlo , "hold out," waa one of the absentees. Rep resentative Shackleford nominated Champ Clark for speaker. The whole caucus wss a love feast, according to the members. ' Gallivan's announcement that he is prepared to oppoae the committee appointments spelled trouble, especi ally as he was successful In a fight last session In Ibalktng a southern judgship bill. Moreover, the fact that he Is "wet', makes the prospect even stronger against the southern ers, for the "wets" are admittedly angered over what they call the "rough shod" tactics of the "drys" last session. The resolution committee of 27 was slated to meet today to prepare their program to present to the re publican conference tomorrow, While they stnmgle with this, the indepen dents are in a muddle and the re publican factions are spilt hi favor of temporary organisation, bl-par tlsan organization and anti-Mann control.
