How TO HELP YoUR wN-This Is the
way in which contemporary says 1t can be
done: Talk about it. Write about it, Beau,
tify the streets. Be friendly to everybody.
Elect good men to offices. Keep your side
walks in good repair. Sell all you can and
buy ali you can at home. lfyou are rich, in
vest in something and employ somebody. BE
to strangers that come among you,
so that they go away with good impressions.
Always cheer on the men who go III for inn
provements. Your portion of cost will be
nothing but what is just. Don't kick" at
any proposed improveme mt because it is not
st your own door.

t. The great truth is that while the Nor.
non church is pretending to lead a qlitet ex-
stence in Utah, it is flooding Europe and this
country with its proselyting missionaries,
who are sent out to prey upon innocence and
ignorance for new victims for its rank. These
wo men are polished, oily and insinuating,

If distinguishing between mass of absurdity
and truth, they arc quite plausible. They
