Towels as Sun-Protectors.

The refusal of the War office to
issue sun-hats has had somewhat
remarkable sequel. A battalion of the
2nd Grenadier Guards went out to ex-
ercise under Gen. Paget on the Fox
Hills, near Aldershot, and the sun be-
ing exceedingly hot the officers or
dered the guardsmen to take their
towels with them and wrap them
round their heads. So extraordinary
a spectacle has never been seen in
the streets or lanes of Aldershot as
the long column Of guards swinging
along with their heads wrapped in
white towels, and their fiat "Brod-
ricks" perched on top.-London An

MORE LAWN TENNIS PLAYED.
Dealer Notes Marked Revival OF In.
tereSt In the Came


I'VE have sold so per cent more
tennis racquets so far this season than
for ten years past" said the head of
the sporting goods department In big
store yesterday. '"The
game is surely on the jump. Tennis
was practically dead for several
years, but it's too good game to go
under. Golf gave it black eye, but
golf is now on the toboggan, except
among the experts-the people who
play on the teams representing the
various country clubs. The individual
players no longer cut any figure, and
the sale of golf clubs is practically NIL
But it's different with tennis
racquets. The old fellows who used
TO play years ago are again taking up
the game, but, between you and me,
they don't like the new racquets.
They buy 'em, try 'em and then turn
up with an old racquet that's all out
OF date, and ask to have 1t restrung.
Tne restringing Of a racquet, though,
IS a good bit of lottery; it may turn
out all right, but more often it won't.
Stn, the old timers are willing to
take chances. Their principal objec-
| tion to the new racquet seems to be
that they can't get a good clutch on
the handle, which is thicker than the
old pattern.-Philadelph Record.

stories for the lad to hear. She was
telling him the other day all about
wicked Nero, who fddled while Rome
burned, and the boy was duly i'm
pressed. At dinner that night, in or
der to discover whether the knowl-
edge impaired had taken root, the sis

learner.
who was he?" was the next ques-
ton.
There was a bit of hesitation, but
finally the answer came out with a
twinkle:

"Well, what did he do?"
ATE worms" was the unexpected
reply, which gave the tableful of din
ers something OF a shiver.-Philadel-

WATER BONDS WIN.

RI ERCUTIO WAS TALKING about
vi mis- wound. but he might have been
talking about the majority in favor of
the water bonds when he said: mo.
tits not so deep as a well, nor so wide
as a church door; but tits enough, twill

The narrow majority by which the
proposed bond issue was carried by no
means represents the sentiment of Salt
Lake on the subject that has been agi-
Eating che city for the past few weeks.
We believe this is an obvious fact. The
vote polled was surprisingly light. be-
ing only 2.24f out OF a possible 10000 or
1900. OF the total. I.2O4 votes We're
cast for the bonds. and 1857 against
them. giving the affirmative a majority
of only 167. Yet there was an over
whelming sentiment in favor of the
bonds.
The opposition mustered practically
its entire strength. What organization
there was was among those who were
against the issue. The report that
there was no doubt about the. result of
the election. that it would surely be in
favor of the bonds, was industriously
circulated by the negative side. TINS
for the purpose of lulIing those friend
l. to the proposition into a feeling Of
security. So we'll was this work done
that the bonds narrowly escaped de-
feat. II full vote had been polled the
bonds would have been carried by a
majority Of several thousand.
However. the majority. small though
81 is, VIII serve. The progressive
element in salt Lake has nOt been al

undertaking. The city council has been
given authority 10 issue water bonds

not satisfactory in every respect, are

TO The NEW OFFICERS,

NOV THAT OUR NEW STATE and
~ county officials have had an oppor-
tunity 10 settle down into the public
harness, it is proper 10 give them. in
the kindliest spirit. a few words of ad-
vice The Herald hopes every one of
them win remember that he has not
been set apart as a master. but as a
servant of the people. The power that
set up can set down. This is a good
thing for the of1ceholders to remember
even in the first flush Of their satisfac-
tion at their calling and election.
We don't expect them to appoint
Democrats to the minor positions. This
notwithstanding the fact that Demo-
Gratis are just as competent tom Of
fees Of any character as Republicans.
There is a principle in politics. carried,
unfortunately, TO excess, that the vic
tors are entitled to the spoils. So we
will not quarrel with Republicans for
appointing Republicans as long as the
apDointees have something besides po-
htical work 10 recommend them.
The point we set out to make and the
point we must not lose sight of is that
the new ohiceholders must lose sight
public. All Corners are entitled to a
square deal. all are entitled to respect
full attention. The public, as well as
the officeholders. has rights. and the
officehoIder, if he expects any future
political favors. must respect them.
Some of the new men are holding i'm
portant offices for the first time. They
should understand that their future de-
ponds upon their attention to the du-
ties i'm hand.
Public office is no longer a private
graft The officer who does his duty
has to work just as hard to earn his
salary as if he were in the employ of
private concern. Too many people
labor under the impression that the ex-
tent of the labors Of elective officials
is the drawing Of their salary They
have been led to this conclusion by the
spectacle Of officeholders devoting more
or thEfT time 90 the furtherance of their
own political ambitions than 20 their
duties. Such offfceholders are becom-
ing deseTvedly rsTer all the time.
The voters simply viii not retain in
public places men who will not hold up
their end of the work. While there Is
40 guarantee, so uncertain is the vot-
ing public. that faithful competent
men will be kept i'm office indefinitely.
# IS certain that the Ioafer. the CRATER
and the Incompetent are. sooner or lat
er, driven back into private life.

Across tho Great Lakes in Canada
there lies one Of the worlds largest
reserves of timber In spite of the tar

forests of the Dominion are beginning
to yield abundantly. More than a bill
lion feet of pine saw logs and square
timber. during u recent season, we're
cut upon territory held under timber
license from the crown. Much of Can
ada's timber land has not yet even been
explored. In the newly developed dis
tricts Of Algona. which are close to the

are more than a hundred million cords
of spruce and pulp wood. while in the
districts of Thunder bay and Rainy

1t has been estimated that, at the
present rate Of cutting. the greatest
timber resources of the United States
those of the Pacific coast states-wiil
be. exhausted in less than half a CEN
fury The annual cut of lumber and
shingles in these regions is some four
and a half billion feet. The standing
timber of Washington. Oregon and
northern California at present Is twice
that OF the original timber lands OF the
northern woods. Washington produces
about as many feet Of shingles and
other lumber as Oregon and California
together. This state is noted for its
shingles. there being more than thou

AT Tacoma are located the largest saw
