OUR BOYS

The following extract is from the
speech OF one of the officers Of the
Ohio State Liquor League:
1t will appear from these facts
gentlemen hat the success of
our business IS dependent large

Our children Will 90 hungry, or
we must change our business

The open field for the creation
Of this appe1it is among the boys.

VALUE OF THE STORM.

The increased precipitation that has
come TO Utah. in common with all the
west the past fifteen months, almost
points to the conclusion that there has
been a return to the wet cycle from
which our climate drifted something
over decade ago. or course, the year
Is yet very young. and before its close
a deficiency may be shown, but the
weather wise do not think so; and 1t is
to be hoped that In this Instance they
are correct.
All over the Pacific coast region there
has been Increased rain and snowfall
Of late. and particularly to the south
west of us. Private letters and other
information from Los Angeles tell Of
constant storm IN and about that sec
ton, So marked has been the downpour
OF water near the coast line, and so
deep the snow In the interior, that
students OF climate and meteorology
have been vieIng with each other TO
account for the wonderful augmenta-
ton Of moisture. Even IN the hot and
heretofore always arid Death Valley,
heavy SHOWS are reported, It is claimed
that the Oldest inhabitant has never
seen the ground covered with It be-
fore. Various causes have been put
forth, some ridiculous and improbable.
One that some observers advance with
more tcnaclty than certainly that they
are correct, sthat the Salton Sink,
which Is rapidly becoming big inland
sea from the uncontrolled and thus FAR
uncomfortable waters of the Colorado
river. ia responsible for the increased
moisture. The great evaporation, they
say. comes back In the form of extra
precipitation, sometimes as rain and
sometimes as snow. Others say that It
is simply the return OF the wet cycle so
long awaited and Just as confidently
predicted. and which has been the order
here since the beginning.
Whatever the cause may be. It is OF
vast benefit 10 Utah, and to tho other
arid land states. To the old line tillers
OF the soil. 1t means plenty Of water for
irrigation the coming summer. and to
the new. sufficient moisture on the des-
erts 10 mako dry farming greater
success than ever. The ranges for
livestock. too, will be vastly benefited.
Altogether the storms thus far have
been priceless in this state.

HOW OLD Is THE SPHINX,
London Globe.

The great Sphinx OF Ghlzeh bears
no inscription by which we can tell
its date. In 1916 Caviglia who in
modern times was the first to clear
away the sand, found between its
paws stele OF tho reign of Thothmes
", and, therefore. 1t was believed
that the Sphinx was carved by that
monarch. But In 1853 the excavations
of Marietta uncovered stele bearing
the name OF Cheops, on which is
reference TO the sphinx, The inscrip-
ton Is evidently OF a late period but
Ia supposed to be an exact copy OF
an ancient carving, and the trdnsla-
zion seemed to place the Sphinx ear
