A Compliment.

The School Board at its last
meeting voted to give Miss Lenna
Evans twenty dollars for her extra
work in the 3rd and 4th grade this
year.
She has had more than twice as
many pupils as have been in any of
the other rooms and she has done
splendid work with them so this
token of the Boards apprecia-
ton was well deserved and well
earned. To know how grateful
she is one has only to see her hap
ply smile when she tells them of
her good fortune, -

Now for a kindly word for Paris.
You came to Monroe with a nice
bunch of boys and we're sorely dis
appointed when they lost the game
There were two causes which led
to defeat and either one would be
enough to cause team to play q
sloppy game. First the team was
green and it matters not what {
teams talent may be, it must have
practice. Second, instead of being
loyal and roofing for your team a;

Local educational Instructors regard
the painting and drawing contributions
By pupils of the city's public schools
to the Utah educational exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition at Sc
attic as one of the finest amateur paint
ing and drawing exhibits ever gath ID
together in the west. The exhibit,

building, is practically ready to leave
for Seattle.
The best part of the exhibit is that

fourth Of cent gallon. Heretofore
il has cost something like > cents a

approximately $2500.

John ID. Spencer Expresses Views
on the New Utah insurance Code

John D. Spencer, member of the ex-
ccutive committee of the Utah Associ-
alton of Life Underwriters, in COM
menting upon the new law recently en-
acted for the protection Of the public
and insurance companies Of the state,
calls attention to the need of strict en-
forcemeDt of the provisions of the law
In order to secure beneficial results.
"The peculiarity of life insurance. -
said Mr., Spencer, els that those agents
who do low grade of business care
little for any law restricting their
business and unless they are carefully
watched will continue to carry on their
business just as if there was no proyi-
sion against their class Of work. Mr..
Spencer expresses the fear that many
of these agents are still working, al
though less openly than they were
''I feel that the only way to make
the present law effective,' said Mr..
Spencer. "is 10 make an example of
some of the agents who do low
grade business, either by canceling
their license to do business of by sus-
pending the license of some Of the
companies which wilfully encourage
their agents to do those things which
are contrary to the new laws recently
enacted.
One Of the most noticeable things in
connection with the new law, Mr..
Spencer thinks, is the value of organ
ization. One Of the strongest factors
