Ilivestdgk SHOW
, OPENS SATURDAY!
i
CHICAGO, Nov 29-Prize-winning
livestock from such widely separated
districts as New York, California. Mis
sissippi and Canada will be on exhibi
tion at the International Exposition
which will open here tomorrow and
continue seven days. Prizes will to
tal $75,000.
"The world's greatest livestock
show," is the way those in charge
characterize the eighteenth annual ex
position, which has a larger entry list
and will be conducted on a larger
scale than any of the preceding shows.
Officials of the exposition say that
despite the war drain on this coun
try's livestock supplies, America still
is in a position to assist Europe in
replenishing her depleted stocks. Cat
tle raising which had dropped to low
ebb in 1914, gained fresh empetus un
der the stimulating influence of war
prices, officials say. With the war
over, stock-raising is given additional
incentive by the need of America fur
nishing a big percentage of the food
for stricken countries of Europe dur
ing the next six months.
Officials predict that war prices for
meat will continue for some time.
A department given over to food
economics and conservation will be
under the direction of Miss Catherine
McKay, dean of household science at
Iowa State college. Lectures will be
given how to select coarser cuts of
meats and how to prepare them into
delicious dishes.
"It must be the desire of every
American to see our herds maintained
and improved," wrote Food Adminis
trator Hoover to B. H. Helde, secre
tary of the exposition, in endorsing
this year's show. "We have an enor
mous burden to shoulder in furnish
ing food to the people of devastated
countries of Europe during the recon
struction period. This burden will be
even bigger if the world is to recover
from the enormous destruction of ani-
mals, without even greater human
hardship than at present.
"The exposition, with all its collat
eral work, naturally becomes a huge
food training camp and in so doing it
is performing a great service to the
country."
A big corn show in connection with
the exposition is intended to encour
age greater care in selection of seed
corn. Officers of the exposition de
clare the United States has been able
not only to preserve, but to greatly
augment its seed stock during the war.
A junior judging contest will be held
and cattle and other stock raised by
boys and girls in the corn belt will be
exhibited.
Representatives of the Department
of Agriculture will attend the meeting,
Secretary Houston advised. Secretary
McAdoo also tentatively accepted an
invitation to deliver an address.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2. Corn prices av
I eraged higher today, influenced more
! or less by the food administration es
j timate that 200,000.000 people had been
added to the bread line depending on
shipments from America. On tho oth
er hand, predictions that the coming
1 United States wheat crop would be a
' record breaker tended to make bulls
i cautious. Resting orders to sell on
the advance checked the upturn.
Opening prices, which ranged from
J,c off to a like advance, with De
cember $1.2G to 1.20 and January
$1.27 to 1.27. were followed by
material gains in the January and later
deliveries.
Oats ascended with corn. Cash de
mand, however, was slow. After open
ing VrC down to Uc.up with January
71 to 71i c, the market scored a
moderate advance.
Firmness in the hog market
strengthened provisions. Sellers were

"We are in, favor of the amendment
of tho Ogden city ordinances pertain

not conflice with the state law, and
mako the life of tho gambler more un
easy still," said City Attorneys Rceder
and Stlne this morning.
"It may not be known to the gen
eral public how well treated this mat
ter is in the city ordinances," says Mr.
Reoder. "It is possible for any police
officer who has tho evidence to bring
guilty persons before the municipal
court on a charge of misdemeanor, and
tho state Law provides opportunity for
the sheriff and his deputies to bring
evidence that will enable the District
Attorney to prefer charges in the dis
trict court. So far as the legal instru
ments go we have enough to mako an
onslaught on the gambling evil an
easy matter."
The ordinances referred to by the
city attorneys are as follows, as they

DEMOBILIZING !
BRITISH ARMY
i
LONDON, Nov. 5. (Correspondence
of the Associated Fress). The British j
government has completed its basic
plans for demobilization of the army
and providing employment for the i
men whose sole business for four years
has been Avar. It is calculated that I
60 per cent of the men in the army I
will go back to their old jobs or have
new ones awaiting them but taking
care of the remainder even though ev
ery ounce of man -power will be need
ed after the war, presented a most dif
ficult problm.
It will be a long tedious task to
transform millions of men from khaki
to civil life and must be done by de
grees. By the plan agreed upon these
degrees have been fixed upon the
needs of industry with certain consid
eration being given to married men or
those who may otherwise b$ needed
in the homo.
The government has a record of
what each man is best fitted for in
civil life. The ministry of public ser
vice which has efficiently compiled
this data, has, together . with other
official agencies, prepared a list of
necessary industries in the order of
what is deemed their Importance. The
first few are called "key" trades,
many of which produce materials
needed for usq In other trades. The
idea is that it would be useless to re
lease a lot of structural steel workers
ahead of the men who produce steel.
The trades list is complete but will
not be announced because of contro-j
versies It might arouse.
The fact that a man has a job
awaiting him will riot insure his early
release. The government would like
to get rid of that class but it cannot
handle more than half the array at
one time hence a rigid adherence to
industrial needs. A soldier may be a
diamond setter with a job to go to
while his trench mate may ho a rail
way brakeman without a job. The
breakman will be taken first and given
an opportunity -to go to work.
It is reasonable to suppose that
railway workmen, if not heading thej
"key" list, are very close to tho top
of it and also that miners are well
i up. . It is vitally necessary to. demob-1
Illzation plans to have the railways in
running order and the miners are
needed, to increase the fuel supply for
Industries and home comfort. And so
on down the long list practically e.very
recognized, trade Is included.
When a man has been selected for
discharge he will be sent to a collec
tion, camp, the most of which of
course will be in France. He will then
be sent to a distributing camp in
England where he will receive his al
lowance for civilian clothing. He will
then be given a month's furlough
which will mean that he will be on
army pay while getting located in new
work. From this stage the Minister
of Labor assumes charge. He will
have the aid and co-operation of local
employers, associations and labor un
ions. Already long lists of jobs open
to soldiers have been proparcd. It
remains for the government, employ
ers and unions to get the job and the
man together.

BATTERIES
Postmaster W. W. Browning has Just
received a very interesting letter from,
his son, Lieutenant W. J. 'Browning,
now in tho medical corps service over
seas. The letter In part is as fol
lows :
"Was on leave for a couple of weeks;
Had a very good time and gained In
weight every day that I was away. Saw
a show for every day. Some were good
and some were fair but others were
very poor. While iri London I met
Harold Browning, Oliver Ellis and
James McKay, and we had a very
pleasant evening together. My leave
came very unexpected to me, made
the most of it and came back very
much improved-
"When I came back, I was with my
old ambulance for three days and was
then sent to a battalion. Am now
with a Scottish regiment as medical
officer. At-the time I was loaned to
another ambulance by special request
for a 'show.' I spent fivo hours of hell.
Of course it is all over now, so I may
tell you the story as it will do no one
any good should the enemy get hold
of IL
"It was in a cellar where we had
an advance dressing station. We were
eating lunch when a shell dropped I
about ten feet from us Well, two of
us finished our lunch but the third one
will never finish his. From then on,
for five hours, our friend, the Hun,
was trying his best to hit us. He put
over 200 shells within a hundred and
fifty yards of where we were. You may
be able to form some opinion of our
feelings when we were working and
expecting to be blown to kingdomcomo
any minute. The ground and surround
ings looked as though it had had a
very bad case of smallpox. Another
American officer, who was a quarter
of a mile away, said that he thought
he had seen me for the last time alive.
Every shell made a hole large enough
to put your bedroom in. Hope that I
never have such an experience again.
I was jumpy for two weeks afterward.
My leave put my nerves right again.
If one thinks he has no nerves and
goes through such an experience, he
will soon find out that he is nothing
but a good-sized bundle of nerves. An
other such and I would be more than
ready to quit.
"I have had s'eel drop around me
in all manner of shapes. I have one
which hit the ground at my shoe, an
other which hit not more than a foot
from me while I was writing, and still .
another which hit my belt. Of course
it all happened over a period of fivo
weeks, at -which time I was in the
I line."

WAR SAVINGS STAMP 1
CAMPAIGN IS 1
NOW ON I
In order that Weber county may col- S
lect its entire allotment, pledged in B'
the war savings stamp drive of the K
summer, the committee in charge of B
this fund has started n publicity cam- B
paign whereby all delinquents are to V
be reminded of their pledges.
Dally thero will be reminders In the
local papers during the mnoth of De
cember, and to all those who have neg
lected to fulfill their obligations, let
ters notifying them to this effect will
be mailed at once.
Had the epidemic not interfered, it
was hoped by the committee that an
auxiliary drive, in the nature of a dun .
on all delinquents would be made. But
health conditions have prevented this'
and the method of publicity letters has
been resorted to instead.
Weber county is far in arrears on
pledges to this fund, and, although
many who did not pledge during the
drive have purchased these stamps in
large amounts, the deficiency will not
be covered, and as a matter-of honor,
it behooves those who pledged them
selves for certain amounts at that
time, to fulfill their agreement.
PULLMAN AND TICKET
OFFICES NOW
ARE ONE
In accordance with recent orCers
from the director general of the local
Pullman offices and the ticket offices
at the Union Station have been con
solidated. Extension in office capacity of the
ticket department Is already under
way and it is believed that this join
ing of offices will greatly convenience
purchasers of tickets, as Pullman res
ervations may be made at the same
time.
Additional passage charges on
sleeping and parlor cars were can
celled, December 1. This will cancel
those charges which were to be made
prior to the ending of the war.
This does not change, however, par
lor car rates, sleeping car rates, nor
the minimum number of coach tickets
j required for exclusive occupancy of
I sleeping parlor car space.
