I'VE cannot serve God and mammon,

high public positions handed out to the
possessors of great wealth. Corruption In
places of high trust is universally
charged up to greed for money. and II
has been the shame of American legis-
lation that men with huge fortunes were
allowed to buy their way into ONCE.
And while there will be great and or

wealth that has been extorted from

There is a difference between reputa-
ton and good character. Old John BUN

walls than the ,dissolute king OF England.

the other had both in abundance, but
John Bunyan's fame is a thousand times
greater from every point OF view tnan
the king who called Bunyan refractory
subject.

zealots are far a-field from the true pur-
pose of our church organizations.

the church suffers under the load II

Nothing is more unfortunate than

ierences reach a point of publicity
where they are aired in the courts.
But that is the sort of case which
occupied the attention of Judge Smith
of the county court a couple of days
this week when Geo. NJ. Sebree of Salt
Lake brought suit against Mrs. Alberta
Sebree, widow of plaintiffs brother, o.
d. Sebree, late of Carbondale, for the
collection of two notes, one for $500
and one for 5000, made payable to the
plaintiff and said to have been given
to him by his brother in his lifetime.
The defendant denied the claim and
pronounced the notes forgeries and ex-

similarity or differences between the

A FALSE ALARM

report that the government had
restored to entry 100000 acres of land
that had heretofore been withdrawn
under the Grand valley reclamation
project caused considerable alarm
among the people at Grand Junction
and especially those interested in the
High Line project. Several in Glen
wood have lands under this project and
they were at first alarmed at the rumor.

that the first report was in error in
naming the Grand valley project In

of Miss Santy's advent into the world
and the young lady thought it prope,
to celebrate the event and she did it
in very happy fashion at her home in
the Korn bungalow.
While there was the usual amount of
rag chewing the principal diversion
was gum chewing. Each guest was
presented with stick of Yucatan or

use intendeod by the makers. and hav-
ing INDUCED in jaw exercise almost to
a point of weariness, each was given
card and requested to draw thereon,

likeness of some animal, the particular
animal being indicated by drawing and
known only to the artist who was 20
design it, the only material for con-
struction being the gum which thu
guests were now quite willing to part
with.
After the artists had completed their
tasks and had proudly presented their
studies in natural history, some of

there was no reason whatever why
