LOCATING GUNFIRE
il' t)no of the most interesting phases
M of war science la locating the enemy's
H- latteries. The situation of these is
Kv constantly shifting. The guns are
i," ' so camouflaged with , foliage and
painted substances that they cannot
v always be placed by air observers or
.jf aerial photography.
mf. When a new gun lifts up its voice
' from some unknown location and bc-
M''l- gins "straftlng" our boys, the tech-
v ntcal men begin to observo the
Bpv; ' nound waves resulting from the orlg-
B'f lnal discharge. A station located
fH. nearest tho front line will get the
f explosion first. Then by comparing
: the exact Instant when It was hoard,
with tho instant whon a receiving
! , etdtlon ln tho rear cots it, nnd fig.
- uring upon the relative distanco of
tthe two stations, tho speed with
, which sound Is traveling at that par-
t ( ticular time can bo precisely doter-
Hkt ' mined.
'. ' o , The speed of sound varies with
Hkffe . ,vlnd and condition of atmosphere.
kv '"' , After this speed is determined, tho
:' distance of that gun can bo closely
WL?. estimated. That of courso docs not
show direction. That Is to bo had
H .only, by observations from a .number
H; 'of sound receiving stations,

' i
each roar station, and lines aro ex
tended across tho enemy's lines' on
tho map. Whon these lines nro
swung through tho posslblo arcs that
could lncludo tho gun, thero must
bo some point where they would nil
meet at tho correct distanco from tho
receiving sound stations. That point
should locate tho gun.
It Is claimed that they can often
bo figured down to CO feet. It Is
said that In tho Mcsslncs fighting,
63 German guns wcro located in ono
day largely by these sound receiv
ing methods. Onco located, a well

SOMIIEH'S 1'IltST CAPTIVK
Tho first fruit of war. bogln to
como homo In tho form of romance.
Tho first captives In Franco may
not bo any mero Huns or Bochcs,
but something much fairer. The first
spoil of this kind Is reported by n
soldier youth from Cedar Orovo,
Iowa, who has fallen In lovo with
a French vlllago maiden, nnd now In
studying tho Parloz Francals books
with all his might. Whon the war Is
done, ho will tnko his captlvo back
to Cedar Grove,
Thero will be many of theso pret
ty romances. It will bo an unexpect
ed outcome of war, It the boy who
thought ho was going over thero to
kill, nnd possibly to suffer, finds
thoro his happiness for a Ufa tlmo.
Tho homo folks will bo anxious abfut
It. They have heard alarming tales
about the ways of tho French glrK
While the French towns havo a'l
too many looso women roaming the
streets, our peoplo must not feel that
the French ,as a whole, aro of that
type,.. Tho superb manner In which
the Fr'phch women havo taken up the
work of 'men; tilling the fields run
ning - trains, and. driving - trucks,
phdwa that they havo a very substantial-
and loyal nature
'Still marital happiness; is best
founded on 'congeniality, among peo
plo of tho samo antecedents and
training. In the long run tho boy
who marries the girl from his home
neighborhood, who Is accustomed to
his ways and ideas, is the one who
comes out the best from his venture.
The International marriage Ms apt to
be a gamble.
After the, young folks from wide
ly distant environments have come
through- their honeymoon, they may
begin to find many points of differ
encc. They have grown up with
different Ideas and interests and
standards. Wherefore the boys will
do well not to forget the girls ttny
left behind them. Let them' not be
too much bewitched by the, French
sparkle and charm.

THIS GERMANS GERMS
The California State Council of
Defense issues a warning against
poisonous pollen, said to havo been
rhlpped by Germans, with the Idea
of destroying our wheat crop. The
Germans showed that this is one of
their games by a previous effort to
infect the seed supplies ot Roumanla.
There is little doubt that they will
try this thing out in this- country.
If they could infect any consider
able portion of our seed supplies, It
would be the hardest blow our gov
ernment' has had yet to meet. A
general crop failure would result in
suffering compared with which our
previous experienco has ' been the
least trltlo.
Thoro Is a big Job beforo tho Uni
ted States Department of Agricul
ture, The State Agriculture Bureaus
nnd Experiment Stations, to head off
any such attempt. These scientists
should Issue bulletins making It-clear
how any such infection would first
show Itself.
Farmers should bo very carofiil ot
whom they buy seed. Salesmen rep
resenting unknown houses should be
turned down; It Is a tlmo for buy
ing socd supplies only of peoplo
known for years to bo reputable. In
tho meantime tho agriculture bu
reaus should carefully Investigate tho
record ot seed houses, and the farm
ers should be warned not to buy ot
douVttuV parties. . . I

Th War Saving Certificate
And Thrift Stamp Campaign
The following address on tho War
Saving Certificate campaign was de
livered by Mr. Geo. T. Ocjoll last Sat
urday ns part of the big patriotic
program of tho Farmers Kound-Up
and Housekeepers Conference:
Mr. President, Trustees and
Ilound-Up: I am advised that CS0
registered at tho Round-Up, and on
looking through tho records I find
that 220 aro from the Cache Valloy,
and tho balance from every county
In tho State of Utah and quite a
number from the Southeast part of
Idaho. I am glad to have such n
cosmopolitan audience from such a
wide geographical area.
1 have ln my rambllngs through
at least ono half or more of the State
slnco I havo been given this position,
spoken to at least 40,000 students
from tho schools. Thero are In the
Stato of Utah, so I am told by Dr.
Gowans, a llttlo moro than 130,000
school children or studonts going to
tho public schools, and tho L. D. S.
havo about 7,000 students enrolled
In tholr denominational schools.
Thore are probably 3,000 or 4,000 In
other schools, or a total ot about
1G0.O0O altogether out of a popula
tion of 445,196 in Utah. As the
amount authorized by Act of Con
gress, Septomber 24, 1917, to be 1b
Bued In Thrift Savings Stamps Is
two billion dollars, or $20 per capi
ta during tho campaign, you will
readily understand that wo cannot
rely, upon tho school children alone
to get our quota of $3,000,000.
n one ot the communities south
ot .Salt Lako" City, I bellevo that a
sum of f 2 per head was raised dur
ing tho month ot. December, nnd
they have promised to continue It
during 1918. But can we expect tho
children to raise all of this money?
The Government thinks, tills Is a
matter' for everyone to participate In
and It IS really, one. taeans, of econo
my whereby savings will bear Inter
est, a means of savlng-for tho. Amer
ican public to buy tho best-obligation
ever offered by any government in
tho world, and by the best govern
ment- ln tho -world.
,Tho obligation. Is in small denom
ination. No one man, firm or cor
poratlon, can own or possess moro
than, $1,000 In maturity values ot
one -kind,
. The stamps can be bought from
the soiling agencies throughout the
State of Utah, and from the post
office. The War Savings Stamps
bear interest at 4 per cent com
pounded quarterly (really about 4
per cent) and maturo on January 1,
1923. They are redeemable, If you
desire it, before maturity at any
post office in the United States, on
giving ten days notice in writing to
the postmaster of your intention to
withdraw, with, interest at the -rate
of 3 per cent per annum.
It the stamps are, registered you
must make application to tho post
office, at which they aro registered.
If they are not registered they an
be redeemed In any post office In
the United States or Its possessions.
This makes it practically . call
money, and as I see some bankers
and gentlemen associated with banks
here, I want them to thoroughly un
derstand this matter, as well as thoso
who are about to go home attor at
tending the Round-Up. , Banks are
expected to be selling agencies' not
only for the Thrift Stamps, but also
for the War Savings Stamps. They
are expected to encourage the prop
aganda, and I believe In a'great ma
jority of cases they ore doing so.
But I know positively that they do
not fully understand the conditions.
In Salt Lake City we got from tho
A. C.'Rees Manufacturing Associa
tion 300 workers who made a "house
to houso canvass for tho purpose of
selling Thrift Stamps and War Cer
tificates, and wo asked them to como
back and report to headquarters.
They did bo, and many of their re
ports confirmed that tho matter was
misunderstood by the bankB. It was
said by moro than ono banker, and
has been said by others at somo
points throughout tho Stato, "Wo
havo beon ndvlsed from Washington
and we understand that wo are re
served to take care of the Liberty
Loan, and that this mattor ot tho
War Savings Stnmps comes under
tho direction of Mr. Frank A. Van
dcrllp, and Is to be taken up' with
tho children."
This' Is Incorrect absolutely, and I
have the documents to prove it.
A great many children and schools
bought Liberty BondB. A great
many havo said since hearing this
statement as coming from tho. banks,
"If my savings aro too little, for the
banks, the Bonds aro too big for the
children." ,,
i How can wo expoct.to recelYO from
. ' ."
w
tho children the sum of three or
threo and a half million dollars? I
want to say to this audience that In
my meetings with children and
teachers from St. George In the south
to Logan In the north, In more than
sixty places where I havo addressed
them, I havo never seen such .loyal
ty or unanimity of opinion as they
have shown about the Thrift Savings
Stamps; tliey know what tho Thrift
Stamps were, and that they would
buy them. So I claim that it Is a
little unfair to have this heavy bur
den placed on them alone. It is the
duty of tho banks to assist In this
matter, and I am supported In this
by the Government representatives,
Mr. Wilson Margett and Mr. E. C.
Bradley. I have also other author
Ity ln writing and plenty of it.
I make It a point- ot going to tho
post offlco and every bank in every
town I visit, and I buy first a Thrift
Stamp and then a Baby Bond so as
to get started. -I got two of these
stamps in your city today. Here Is
the War Savings Stamp (exhibiting
It) for five dollars. This certificate
with only one stamp (exhibiting It)
Is called a Baby Bond. When it is
filled up It' Is worth $1000 and Is
redeemable on January 1, 1923. I
could not get the other today, I
have not had time, to go to tho post
office.
If we are to aid tho government
the banks are expected to do their
part.
Thore was organized In Salt Lake
City recently a $1,000 Thrift Club.
A gentleman who Is a stranger; In
vited certain men to the Alta Club,
but did not state the purpose ot the
meeting, but at its close eighteen
men had each taken two, loh'ds ot
$1,000 each for which 'they" paid
$824.00, the price during the cur
rent month! of January. ' ' "
Each $5.00 stamp costs $4;12 this
month; $4.13 In February;' $'414;in
March, and so on upto '$4.23 'In De
cember next' when the 'sale is closed.
The government toiay Iss"ue'm'orebft
they have not said anything about it.
That club as I am advised has now
a membership-' of 250,' each 'gentle
man pledged to a $1,000 Bond, that
means tha't ten of these forms will
bo filled with twenty stamps' before
December 30, 1918.
I understand that Thrift Clubs are
already organized in 20 out of the
29 counties, and the gentleman who,
gave mo this information told me'
that Mr. Clyde of Heber, had wagor
ed that he would get fifteen mem
bers there.- If that Is so, we .ought
to get ISO members out of Cache
Valley, and corresponding subscrip
tions to the $1,000 Thrift Clubs.
We have just heard the gentleman
who spoke to us about the Red Cross,
Y. M. C. A, and Soldiers' Relief
Fund, each of which needs money
and plenty of It. Whatever is given
there is given, but with regard to
this proposition men are not asked
to give their money, but merely to
lend It, and the government is of
fering1 to pay them for It. They 'are
offering a chance to save and to bo
thrifty, and thrift is a very easy
proposition. I. lunched with Dr. Pet
erson today and he explained that
the dinner was a Hooverized dinner,
and that if we did not eat it It would
be spoiled before night. It was a
pretty good dinner though.
There are many ways in which
money can be saved. A friend of
mine, a Mr. Cook, told me of an
Incident with regard to his boys.
They had come home one evening af
ter school, and, exhibited twenty
cents which they Bahjl they had earn
ed shoveling snow. They said they
wanted to buy Thrift Stamps. The
father put his hand in his pocket to
give them the means to do so, but
they declined andsald, "No, we will
earn our own money." That Is true
saving.
I attended a meeting with Mr.
Prescott Creer, Superintendent ot
Schools at Sprlngvllle, somo tlmo
ago, and calling to ono ot the boys
thero said to him, probably for my
benefit, "You nro tho boy who re
cently bought a $5 stamp, aren't
you?" In this meeting of somo 600 or
700 people were many ladles, and
he suggested to them that It they
paid $2 Instead ot $3 for their hats
they could buy Thrift Stamps with
the money bo saved. After looktng at
the ladles frills and furbelows, ha
said that from what he had seen he
thought the ladles could do much to
help if they wore tholr dresses longer
as thoy could uso tho savod material
for making bandages for the soldiers
at the front. I did not quite under
stand the remark, nnd so I pulled his
coat, tall' to warn him to be careful.
He looked at mo to know what was

to apologize for, for it was the duty
of everyone to be thrifty. He said
he "hnd'ndt made, any reference to

going hrough that city. One of
the, school, teachers had Invested
some .money In, a Baby Bond." She
said, vlt will take be a long time to
fill up a thrift' card on my p'resent
salary, but I am going to. fill up
a Baby Bond at least." Now that
brings me to a matter that should
bo taken up very seriously by tho
governor of the State and also the
school government, and that Is tho
salaries paid to the teachers, t think
they are the poorest paid class in
the. State of Utah.
The amount allotted for Cache
Valley with a population ot 26,655,
is $553,100 and the committee ap
pointed to look attor this mattor in
the Hon. J. W. Funk, Mayor Bullen
and Mariner Eccles. I sincerely hops
that you will loyally support these
gentlemen to sell that many stamps.
We do not expect to close' the
campaign for some time. It we could
close It by September and be able to
go back to our own work, we would
like to earn a little for ourselves. If
we have to continue the work. -until
December, -1918, It will mean that I
shall have been engaged for thirteen
months and a half without earning
verymuchj It looksMlko a dollar to i
me. "f was, however, very much
pleased to get the position, and I '
shall be satisfied It we meet with
success1.
JThe time has been very well occur
pled this afternoon., I Jiavo no liter
ature here, but lots of it has been
left with tho committee and thej
chairman of tho Commercial Club,,
and I shall be glad If you will call
on these officers and give them all
the help you can.
