THANKSGIVING AS IT MIGHT BE
IF we had i siig.iv factory we certainly would have some
thing substantial to be thankful for this Thanksgiving
time that is, to judge by the experiences of other com
munities Half a million dollars distributed in the valley through
the farmers would certainly be something to be thankful
for and that is what is happening in the beet sugar dis
tricts. Here is what happened in Ogdon, Utah, the other da'.
Bedford might have the same story another year if the
farmers all realized their oppertunity:
OODH.V, Utah, Xov. 1C. Any financial depression that may hnvc existed
In Osden won dealt a knockout blow today when nearly $400,000 was put
Into circulation by reason of payments for stiRar beets and the monthly pay
roll of tho Southern Pacific shopmen. It wns estimated this evening that
tlio AmalBamated Suj;ar company had distributed checks aggregating moro
than $200,000 nnd the shops' pay roll was almost equal to this mnount.
Including the amount paid out today and tho checks to bo distributed
within tho next few days, the sugar company will hnvo paid out about
$340,000 for beets delivered prior to Xovembor 1.

prosperity like that described at Longmont, Colo., if its
farmers would only wake up and cease opposing irrigation
and sugar beets:
L.OXQMOXT, Colo., Nov. 1(5. Tho business section of Longmont have
tho appoaranco of n Saturday before Christmas and tho banks gave n com
mondablo Imitation of a Chicago wheat pit In panic times, nil owing to the
fact that tho farmers havo received their first checks for tho season's beet
crop a snug llltlo sum of something like $700,000, being for that portion
of tho crop delivered before Nov. 1.
Thero was not n merchant In town hut what, directly or indirectly, got
a clianco to hnndlo homo of that $700,000. Hills thnt had been run during
tho season weru settled, new goods woro purchased nnd new luxuries in
dulged In.
Tho laborers who havo cared for tho crop during the season, wcro on
hnnd to recolvo their last pay.
It Is estlmntcd thnt tho money to ho expended by tho sugar company
next month, will total upwards of $.100,000.
Talent could in 191') bo in the same class with Spanish
Fork if the fanners in the northern end of the valley
would co-operate as they sheuld:
SPANISH FORKS. Utnh.. Nov. 1C Today was n busy day for tho Snan.
Ish Fork stores, as tho Utnh-Idaho Sugar company distributed among the
farmors of this vicinity npproxlmntoly $200,000 as tho first payment for
tho 1915 crop of beets. Tho fnnnora wero fortunate In getting tho bulk
of tholr crop In boforo tho storm and in most localities tho beets wero un-
usually good.
Phoenix might be enjoying in future years similar
scenes io those described atLohi, Utah, inthe following,
if its farmers put all their available acreage into sugar
beets:
MCI 1 1, Utah, Nov. II. Tomorrow, Novembor IB. Is naydar for tho farm-
ers of tho Utah-Idaho Sugar company nnd $425,000 will bo paid to them
for the beets delhered In October, l.nst Wednesday tho factory nnd offlco
forco woro paid $32,500, which, with the checks pnld out for coal, lime
nnd other Incidentals, will make n total distribution of over n half million
dollars by this factory In one week.
These dispatches cover only a small strip of territory
but the same story is repeated from every beet sugar
district.
Alcdford business men have done all that can be done
to secure the acreage. They havo proved their good faith
in the enterprise by subscribing $20,000 for a company to
lease laud and conduct operationsonly to find in many
instances that fanners will neither sign themselves nor
lease their land, save at outrageously exorbitant prices.
The late ot the factory Jiangs m the halaiice it is up
lo the iarmers whether or not prosperity like that de
scribed elsewheie blesses the valley another Thanksgiving.

COMMUNICATION.
THE ROMANCE GONE
npllE world can be thankful to the kaiser for one thine;
fjr stripping war of its romance, for ripping off
tlio brass buttons, lor tearing ott the tinsel and glamor,
lie has exhumed the whited skeleton from the splendor
of its whited sepulchre and dangled it before the world.
Herman efficiency as applied to war leaves no detail
of destruction to the imagination, overlooks no system of
slaughter, omits no item of terrorism. .It reveals war, as
it is, an atavism of barbarism.
Even Roman thoroughness failed to rob war of its
glamor. The feudal ages clothed it with the romance of
chivalry. The formality and etiquette of the succeeding
century dignified it. The French revolution and Napoleon
glorified it. The kaiser alone, sinco Aftilla the Hun de
vastated hurope a thousand years ago, has, by resorting to
all the methods of human annihilation evolved since Cain
slew Abel, brought the world to a full realization of what
war really means.
Written history is largely a story of human conflicts,
in which are recorded the triumphs the triumphant are
iirTnccml iiwl i lik v.ii iii m id iitd fmwrAf i mi 'Plii i i to !
tayajtj. m hiivi tiv unninniM iwiimi iii inv ir im i n iv
pieled, the del eat overlooked. Tile story ot the strong is
magnified the laic ot tlie weak unrelated.
War is a business the business of murder and ruin.
And it has been as thoroughly organized as any of our
great industries. The kaiser has created a murder trust
and is as ruthless in enforcing the propaganda as any of
our commercial trusts. And his methods must be copied
by the rival trust to secure an even break.
Yes, war litis lost its romance. Artillerymen never see
the masses of humanity they arc destroying. Infantrymen
shoot from covered trenches against unseen enemies.' Vic
tory is decided by preponderance of munitions. The most
guns, the most powder and shells, the most human fodder,
drives back, but fails to capture the enemy. The reat
victorv is a thing of the past. Individuals have been re
placed by masses all are units in great machines directed
mechanically from unseen sources.
They stiil reward unusual savagery with an iron cross
hoping thereby to shut out from public view the millions
of wooden ertuws oer the million r human corpses, ltiit
the effort is a pitiable failure. The ghosU nf the dead will
not down. 'I I'e wooden roes remain, the u..u ar' lost.
Something I letter
To tho Ktllter:
When tho JlcdynskI plan was sub
mitted to tho voters of Medford at
tho special election tho voters were
entreated to vote It down by tho op
position, claiming that something
better would bo presented nt tho next
general election In Jnnunry. Now
that the bond imeasura was voted
down by n small majority wo novor
hear n word of a something hotter
mensure to bo placed on tho ballot
at tho January election, and wo bo
llovo with many,others of our follow
citizens thnt nooning better was ever
Intended to bo placed on tho ballot
at tho next election, and many wl-c
voted against tho bond Issue, hnvo ox
pressed thomselves ns having been
deceived and had they known what
they now know that they would havo
voted for the bond Ibbho. Thoy feel
thnt they have been lied to and It
thoy had a chnnco ngaln they would
vote for the bond issue; so if no bet
ter plan shows up soon I am In favor
of placing tho bonding plnn on tho
ballot at tho coming election. A
change of a few votofl would earn
It. The time Is fast pressing, tho sit
uation Is tense and no nimsuro Ot
relief Is being presented for tho re
lief for those whoso homos nro In
Jeopardy nnd whoso occupants nro ut
terly unable to pay off an encum
brance unjustly incurred for public
Improvements which belong to tho
city nt largo to pay.
As tlmo Is growing short I suggest
thnt steps be taken Immediately to
again submit to tho people tho only
practical plan ever prosontod for tho
rollof of a larno number of our un
justly oppressed fellow citizens. I
offer no apologv for again bringing
up a measure that was supposed to
bo effectually put to sleep. Justlco
and right never ro forever put to
"loop. ,T S UOWAim.
