COAL MINERS
SPEED UP FUEL
PRODUCTION
SALT LAKE CITY. Dec. 4— Be
sides contributing a regiment of Na
tional Guard and two immense draft
contingents to America's armies, one
of the latter sent to Camp Kearney
and another to Camp Lewis, all of
whom participated in the lighting In
France. Utah has another army which
has done more than its bit in the coal
fields of tills state. Coal miners make
up this other army.
It has no commander, no insignia
except that of the man who labors.
It is the subterranean army of men
who toil in the darkness underground
to produce the coal that supplies the
vital necessities of the oU’er armies
lighting the Hun.
Practically 9a per cent of the coal
•production of Utah conies from Car
bon county. The army of coal miners
in this section increased their produc
tion the first six months of 1918 over
th<‘ same period of 1917 by 500,(100
tons. They were asked to get behind !
the "boys over there" and it is esti
I ITIiUPU 111 U lilt; lIHTfilSi' MU 111* ( .11*11
! dar year IfllS over the previous year
; wiil be approximately 800.000 tons.
Besides this, the men have shown
their patriotism in every other way i
I
possible. They have responded gen
erously to all Liberty Ixtan ram-'
paigns They are inn per cent con-j
j tributors to Red Cross and war work
funds. They, in common with miners
in practically every other district in
the United States, were given wage
f increases, and they have used what
they did not actually require for ne
cessities out of these increases in
j helping the government.
The men are better and more sat
! isfied workers in recent years, due. if
is said, chiefly to the fact that the
I <-oal operators have done much to im
j prove their living conditions in the
j camps. The class of dwellings erect
i ed will compare favorably with those
in the best mining towns in the Unlt
! ed States, For the benefit of the
j underground workers commodious
| hath houses have been crocted. In
the larger camps elaborate and ex
'! pensive amusement halls are main
tained. Competent surgeons are cm
' ployed at the various camps, and all
of the largest camps have well
equipped hospitals.
Chalk slogans on the walls of Utah
mines, according to a federal investi
gator. are the calls to "Buy Liberty
bonds." and many other references
to winning the war. "To hell with
the kaiser” is one of the familiar
signs one sees as his light strikes
the wails in the curve of a tunnel of
black coal American flags abound
in the chutes and drifts of the work
ings.

PLANTING MEMORIAL
TREES FOR SOLDIERS
—
SACRAMENTO, Cal. Doc. 4—Co
operation of the governor of every
Rtate in the planting of memorial
trees for our soldiers was asked to
day In a message received by Gov.
W. D Stephens from the American
Forestry Association. The message
outlined a plan to have trees planted
along the great motor highways of
the country.
I1. S. Risdale, the secretary of the
association, reported to the governor
that many towns and cities have
taken tip the plan, and that the Gen
eral Federation of Women’s Clubs is
now considering the plan for the I.in
roln highway, the state organization
of the federation to plant the trees
for the state's dead.
"A Victory oak or a Victory elm
would certainly he the most appro
priate way to remember our soldier
dead.” said Charles Lathrop Pack,
the president of the American For
estry Association. ’’The motor has
played a big part in the war. and it
would be a very fine thing for the
highway associations to take up this
plan Wood, too. has played a big
pari in the war .and our stocks must
be replenished. If each state will co
operate In this movement n living ne*
long lesson enn be taught the coming
generations as to the beauties
value of forestry ”

Another thing we can’t understand
is why a girl will spend two hours
dolling up her hair and then put on a
hat that hides everything but her face.
"
If the average husband kisses his
wife in the morning and kisses her
again at night, he doesn’t think that
she has any right to bother him in
the interval.
If you are talking to a girl and
»he sighs and tells you that she ex
pects to die an old maid, you had
better beat it; you are fooling with
dynamite.
Honesty is the best policy There
used to be some profit In being
crooked, but nowadays the competi
tion is too fierce.
A husband often has to admit that ;
he is in the wrong. But it is different '
with his wife.
As soon as we discover one who
can step on a wooden collar button
with his bare foot and not cuss we
will believe in the superman. But
until then we will maintain that there I
ain’t no slch animal.
And what has become of the old
fashioned barkeep who used to say
"Have one on the house, boys"?
The trouble with a wife is that she
always seems to he in need of a lit
tle more coin than she can get.

TEACHER OF NATIVES
WAS THE FATHER OF
' REINDEER FAIR”
Walter Shields, district superinten
dent of native education at Nome,
whose death from influenza was an
nounced recently, was the “father of
reindeer fairs" in the Northland. He
centered a great deal of interest on
the reindeer industry and under his
management the native herds showed
an increase of about 40 tier cent per
annum. Half of this increase was
used by the natives for food and the i
rest was used for breeding purposes 1
Where others used dogs he made his |
winter trips from Nome to Point Par j
row and return exclusively with deer
motive power.
Mr. Shields entered the educational
work among the natives of Alaska
under Sheldon Jackson, who was su
perintendent of education for all of
Alaska both whito and native. It
was he who first brought the reindeer
from Siberia and Finland to Alaska
for the express purpose of benefiting
the natives. The law under which
they were introduced still prevents
white men from owning female deer,
and the success of the venture may
be estimated by the fact that there
are around 100,000 reindeer in Alaska
at present. Of these, one Eskimo
woman, Slnrock Mary, owns about
7,000.
Superintendent Shields and Pr.
Neuman, who was also reported low
with influenza, offered the govern
ment a whole regiment of Eskimos
for overseas duty. Mr. Shields was
to be commander and Pr. Neuman
surgeon.
