iA TRIP BY AUTOMOBILE.
As an eliminator of distance, the automobile i more wonderful
iluin a railroad train. This fact is impressed on any one Who goes
out on long trips and speeding along the highway m car. takes
liote of hat he Btfes
Within the week a party of Ogdenites drove from Ogden to Star
valley between breakfast and supper, and, in doing so, passed through
Brigham City, Logan, Garden City Tans. Montpelier and Afton and
crossed three distinct ranges of mountains When teams were em
ployed, at least five days were consumed in a journey of that kind.
Auto drivers can leave Qgden wften tin- Oregon 8hor1 lan.' train
does and arrive in Montpelier ahead of the oroinotie
Hunting and fishing parties out of Ogden, enjoying a week's end
vtav, are to be encountered on unfrequented streams, at points which
Beem out of the world, and they carry with them in their ears all the
comforts of home
When Ogden was B village, Star vallej was unknown and so far
away from the beaten paths ot commerce as to We the rendezvous of
thosi- who sought to bi forgotten and desired to live alone in the
wilds of a Bequesti red valley. Today the valley of fields of hay ami
grain and dairj stock is just over the hills from Ogden
There is no unusual grief in au automobile drive from Ogden
to AftOU, except where contractors on state roads have made no pro
vivsion t'o allow the motor traffic to go by, or where a detour is en
i ountered: The detour continues to he an outrage committed against
the traveling puhlie. The pleasure of a trip may he marred In one
of these turnouts and an entire sea-son V, travel put to great inconven
ience, when the expenditure of a few dollars would overcome all the
difficulties State contracts are said to provide for veil constructed
detours, hut the letter of the contract in this respect is never en
forced. Furthermore, while new road is under construction the old high

placing of ;, small culvert over a waterway, the removal of a high
Center, the blasting out of a rock, the cutting down of a steep hank
are little things, entailing hut little expense, which are entirely neg

The automobile associations should insist on a correction of ihose
methods and demand heller treatment
I MOSLEMS TOO LATE.
Nothing would have more complicated the disturbed conditions
in eastern Europe a month ago than the Moslem proclamation in
favor ot Bolshevism, had the religious fanatics issu. d their appeal
it that time. With the defeal of the Russian forces on the boundarj
line of Poland, the red arm may have been rendered comparatively
harmless
At the height of the Boviel Buccess a declaration that Islam was,
in favor of Bolshevism might have spread the flames of anarchy to I
the heart of India and hac forced Great Britain to make overtures
and negotiate compromises with Leriine
There is no warfare so enduring and bitter as that hacked by
religious hysteria
But with the heating hack of the soviet armies from around War
saw and the hottlmg up, between Prussia and the Vistula river, of a
large part of the defeated forces, the red peril is beginning to dis-
I appear ami tne fliosiem can 10 arm-s is 100 mic iv cua mmwk
worry in the capitals of western Europe
The turning of the tide ot battle seems to have been accomplished
by the same hrilliant French strategists who, at the first battle of th
Marne. taught Von Moltke to respect the recoiling power of the men
of France. When General Wcygand arrived on the scene of battle,
the Bolsheviki were moving over the country east of Warsaw with the
irresistible sweep of a prairie fire Quickly there was a realignment
of the Polish troops, and swiftly a surprise attack was made, and
suddenly the Russians discovered they were outmaneuvered and cut
off.
No longer is the soviet government in the position of a dictator
nf the terms of peace. A month ago Lenine might have exacted any
reasonable performance from the Poles, as to 'boundary lines, disarm
ament and trade Now the Poles' must be the conveyors of mercy
if a generous treatment is to be accorded.
I RADIUM AS A CURE.
There is quite a stir on at the present time over the curative pow
ers of radium and, yielding to this latest innovation, the Salt Lake
County Medical society has obtained a few grams of the salt.
These wonderful cures are to be accepted with reservations
Radium is said to operate successfully on certain forms of skin dis
ease and to produce favorable reaction in the first stages of cancer.
Hut it is fair to presume tests so far made are superficial. At inter
vals of a year or two, discoveries of specific cures for tuberculosis
are announced, and the names of reputable physicians are connected
with these cures But time proves the fallacy of the new theories,
and the only reliable . ure is found to be nature itself when given an
opportunity to attack tin- disease to best advantage.
The radium cure niay prove to be an exception, and. if so, suf
fering humanity will rejoice that a new force has been added to the
ery small list of cures.
I GOVERNMENT SHOULD AID.
Our federal government has spent great sums of money on re
clamation projects in the west, most of the expenditures being in ir
rigation projects built entirely by government funds. Here and there
a failure is seen, one of which is the Fallon project in Nevada,
i Inasmuch as the object to be attained m reclamation "is to make
i more land available for home building, now and then it might be
well for the government to lend assistance to irrigation districts such
as the one now formed in Weber county The benefits of expert work
I and direction have been extended, it is true, but the government could
go further and build a great dam on South Fork, or divert the waters
at the mouth of Bear Lake, and await developments for a return of
I the interest and principal.
There is scarcely any element of chance in the local undertaking
j and the direct results arc to be accurately figured.

" AND OBEY"
i
BY JAMES I. VANCE
"Love, honor and obey" Thus re
cites the ancient liturgy of the mar-j
nage altar.
There Is no complaint against the
"love and honor" part of the vow a j
woman takes when she plights to aj
man her troth but the "obey" featuro
raises difficulties. Should the phrase'
disappear from the marriage service?
Does it make for a higher and holier!
relation between husband and wife tu
require a woman at the nnrnagc altar!
to take a vow that she will obey her
husband? No doubt there may be found
a woman here and there who llk -
There is enough of the survival of the
age of savagery remaining in her blood
for her to like a mate who Is rough;
with her
But for the average woman, there
is a disposition to protest against the
Beemlng inferiority .with which th
word "obey" seems to brand her and
her sex.
It all depends on Tvhai ifl meant b
' and obey."

EXTERMINATING BATS
In exterminating rats cither by
poisoning or by trapping, It Is Impor
tant to bear In mind that success de
pends largely on ihe degree to which
the removal of other foods makes the
poisoned bait or the bait In the traps
attractive to the rat
A variety of poisons may be used,
barium carbonate, phosphorous, ar
senic and others, but even with an ef
ficient poison. failure often lesulls
through lack of attention to drills.
HOW TO I BE BAKU M ( LRBON M E
Kind of Bull Three or more kinds
of bait should be used Each must
be mixed separately with barium car
bonate One kind of bait from each
of the following classes should be
used
(1) Meal or other animal sub
stitute such as Hamburg steak, sau
sage, canned salmon, eggs of oysters
(2) Fresh fruit or vegetable food;
such aa cantaloupe tomatoes, green
corn, baked sweet potatoes, bananas,
etc.
(3) Miscellaneous foods, milk or
cheese, peanut butter bread cake,
ceroals (raw or cooked)
How t Mix The barium carbonate
must be thoroughly mixed with the
bait, so that the rats cannot eat the
smallest portion of the halt without
getting sonic of the burlum carbonate
In the ca-se of such subsiancrs as
Hamburg steak, ch esc, etc-, use one
I part of barium carbonate to four parts
of halt. Mix thoroughly with a spoon
Substances which cannot be tho
roughly mixed with barium enrbonate
as Just described (for example, can
taloupe, tomatoes, etc.) should be cut
into small pieces and thoroughly cov
ered With barium carbonate and then
worked in with a knife.
How to Sot Poison The three kinds
of bail, prepared as above, should be
divided Into small portions, about n
teaspoonful each, and plated freelj
about premises, alternating baits 1.
3. It should be set i.t short Intervals,
not over 10 or 1 r- feet. I NOT MIX
THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF BAIT
WITH EACH OTH FLU.
General Instructions The morning
after baiting look for dead rats and re
moe them Take up baits Examine
these so aq to see which have at
tracted most rats If any kind of ball
has not been touched, use a different
kind of bait instead of this. Fresh bait
should be used each night
How Often to Bull Bult every night
Caution Keep fowlc dogs, cats,
as long as rats continue to eat bait,
etc . away from bait.
