Who is Fayolle? Even close readers of the history of the bi
struggle will fail to recognize the general is one of the ittosl distin
guished commanders of the wai and yet he is. Simonds, in a sketel
of Fa'o)les heroic part, Bayfi;
Fayolle 's first great service was in command of the
Preach army which, under the supreme direction of l-'oeh.
shared with the British the honor and the burden of the
First Somme So successful and complete was the French

I manders that Fayolle 's first advance was one of the most
hrilliant of ihe whole war, and carried the French to tin
cry banks of the Somme above Pcroune.
I A year later it was Fayolle who was called to lead the
I French troops sent hastily to Italy on the morrow of the die-
I aster of CapOretto. Once more Foch went in sujSreme com
mand, as at the Somme, but he did not remain permanently
in Italy and the immediate service rendered to the Italians,
which was very considerable, was under the direction of K.i

' A PROMISING UNDERTAKING.
Not less important to Ogden than the Weber county irrigation
1 district which has been advanced to the stage of complete orcraniza
tion. is the forming of the D;:vis counn irrigation district, with thv
I alloting of water by the state engineer
All that part of Davis county lying south of the Weber river
j J bench land, under a full service of water, could be made to produce
H crops double as larjro as are now yielded, and the increased harvests
i would be of vast benefit to Ogden, as nearly all the territory as far
1 ' as Kaysville is tributary to Ogden.
I According to the plans worked out by A. F Parker, chief enpi-
! neer, the reservoir at Echo would o-.t s?j.:;:i onn, would be nr.
V feet high and store 61,500 acre-feet. The canal to carry the storage
j would come out of Weber canyon at an elevation 'I'll feet above the
I Davis and Weber counties canal and call for an expenditure of $1,
j 500,000.
I This is a total of ,000. whii-h though high is not prohibi-
j tie. In this district, land now well watered and most fertile is sell'
j ing as high as $600 an acre
I Whenever farnunp must depend on irrigation, it is a measure
I of insurance to have a supply of water which is dependable Here
I in Weber county farming had been carried on for thirty years on a
I : haphazard basis, until now the farmers have decided to make pro-
visions against dry years and are proceeding to give to every acre
I of tillable ground water sufficient to mature crops It should have
1 been done years ago.
j: Davis county farmers are following the example of the Weber
ounty irrigators, and soon the cultivated areH will be doubled and
greater prosperity than has been experienced in the past will be en-
joyed in all the region from Willard on the north to Farmington on
the south. The number of homes -will be increased and, with the im
proved conditions on the land, numerous new industries will be es-
i tablished to afford better markets for the products of the soil.
I INSANE MAN TO HANG.
An Illinois jury has found an insane man guilty of murder and
a judge ha sentenced the convicted to hang This is said to be
the first ease in which the death penalty has been inflicted on an
insane criminal.
The story of the crime proves that the patient is a most danger
ous man. Nathan Robiuson escaped from the asylum at Elgin. IK
had married a young woman of good family and a child was born
to the couple. He became so abusive that his wife left him, taking
refuge in the home of her parents Then Robinson was found to be
demented, was sent t0 tlir .islum and later broke out. On escaping
he called his wife over the telephone and insisted that sh meet him
She answered that she would rather die then live with him.
come over," he said, ' and clean out the entire family."
An officer was notified, who stood guard two nights. On the
third night Robinson worked his way into the home, beat the old
people to death, maimed his baby for life, and dragged his wife,
after beating her, for three miles, finally throwing her into a farm
yard. He was arrested and tried.
Unless the insane convict has lost his reason b pressure on the
brain which might be removed by a surgical operation, there is no
hope of him being restored to society as a useful member, and though
it is contrary to practice, the executing of the murderer will simph
serve to carl remove a menace
Of course, it would be a bad thing to have courts firmly estab
lish the precedent of sending insane murderers to the gallows, for
now and then a great wrong would be perpetrated.
i BOYS BURN A DOG.
j oys at Farmington, with nothing to do other than indulge in
wickedness, covered a dog with kerosene and gasoline, and, setting
fire to the inflammable oils, turned the animal loose.
j It is regrettable when boys turn their thoughts to acts of bru
tality so devoid of the finer sensibilities
I The youngsters should be brought into court and made to rea-
1 lize their offending. They are on the road to deoerate deeds and
I debased manhood, if they are not shaken out of their present dull
j, and stupid disregard of right and wrong
No normal boy should find any real amusement in torturing a
dumb animal or in inflicting misery and pain on any one. Allowed
I to escape without a reprimand in this case, the perpetrators of the
burning later may attempt some form of outrage on children with
I whom they come in contact and then, taking one more step in that
direction, become criminals of the worst type
I King Alfonso has made a great hit among American debutantes
i at a Spanish resort. They say he dances the Spanish shiver and
shakes a mean epaulet.

THE BETTER .! B
If I were running a factory
I'd stick up a sign for all to see.
I'd print It large and I'd nail It high
On every wall that the men walked
by.
And I'll have it carry thin sentence
clear:
The Rettar Job that you want is
here!"
It's the common trait of the human
race
1 To pack up and roam from place to
place;
, Men have done it for ages and do It
now.
Seeking to better themselves snme
' how,
l They quit their posts and their tools
they drop
i For a better Job In another shop
It may be I'm wrong, but I hold to
this
That somewhere something must bo
amiss
When man worth while must move
away
For the better Job with the better
pay;
( And something is false In our own re
nown When men can think of a better town.
I So If I were running factory
I'd stick up this sign for all to see.
Which never an eye in me place could
miss:
' There Isn't n better town than this.
You need not go wandering, far or
near
The Better Job that you want is here!"
