SPEAKING OF THE WOODEN

One Of the magazines tells to the
world this fact: Four Massachusetts,
cotton and wooden manufacturing es-
adjustments paid an average dividend
Of more than thirty-seven per cent in
nineteen-seven; and more than twenty
five per cent in nineteen-eight-in spite
Of the panic.
They made the bulk Of their money
from the manufacture Of wooden goods.
They bought their wool in the west,
and Utah sheepmen paid freight on it to
the Atlantic seaboard.
There have been wooden mills in Utah,
and the state can have them again.
There Is money In the business If the
best grades Of goods are manufactured.
The best grade Of goods can be manu-
featured here If they can be made in
Massachusetts,. Men and machinery
can work In Utah as well as in New
England. The money paid for freight
Will start the mills.
Isn't It the part Of wisdom for mon
eyed men to keep the wool at home
Isn't 1t worth while to put the factory
where the raw material is produced?

-Four years ago a candidate for con-
gress from Utah stated that when he
went east he was ashamed to register
from Utah. That statement has not re-
Gently been made. The sentiment is not
so characteristic as it has been in the
past. The people are getting prouder Of
Utah. The rest Of the nation is more
Justly disposed toward Utah
Why?
Because more Utah men are praising
Utah when they go away from home.
Because the word Of condemnation and
criticism for Utah is more rarely heard
now. Because the spirit Of loyalty to
the state is stronger.
And that way lies the better rating
Of Utah in the estimation Of every man,
everywhere.
Utah men are learning the lesson.
Utah Is a state to be proud Of Any
man who speaks a word against her or
against her people is a public enemy.
Enemies to Portland didn't make her
grow. Enemies to Utah will never do
her any good.

BUT KEEP YOUR TEMPER.

1t is the tendency here in Utah, where
life is more vital than elsewhere, TO get
so much in earnest on every matter un-
der discussion as to become angry at
those who differ. 1t is the one thing
against which citizens should guard.
For example, here is the matter Of
finding a location for the new High
school Some people want it in East
First South street. Some want 1t at
Tenth South. Some want 1t on the hill,
north Of First avenue. Some believe it
should go far to the east, and perch on
the bench. And some are beginning to
insist that the only place in town for
the new building is right where the old
buildings are located, and where the
High school at present is conducted.
There is excellent argument in favor
of every place. There are good people
to be heard from in every case. Prob
ably there is as much honesty with one
as with another advocate. Let each gen.
tleman, knowing he himself is honest
and unbiased. give a like concession to
everyone else. Let US examine each
proposed site, look dispassionately at
what may be said in favor Of either. and
get away from the notion that we must
sink a tomahawk into the brain Of
everyone who wants to place that
building where we don't think It ought
to go. When the building is erected. all
Salt Lake is going to be proud OF it.
And the world will revolve, and children
viii come and go, and the rest of us
will go without coming-wherever the
building may be erected.
So In the matter of a route and a sta
ton site for the Saltair cars and the
interurbans. There is no occasion TO
fight over the matter. All truly inter
ested in the city want interurbans. All
real friends Of Salt Lake want the
Saltair people given every possible en-
enlargement. There may be a differ
ence Of opinion as to where the lines
should run, but It will not help the city
or any Of its interests to have cham
pions of one route slay, burn and
anathemize adherents of another route.
Even with our local surcharge Of life,
let US keep our tempers IN the discussion
and settlement of these matters. And
let off the surplus steam by getting
more interurbans and more buildings.
That will be the better part OF wisdom.

GO TO CHURCH TODAY.

The reader Of these few lines, in all
probability. has taken up the paper in
the morning Of Sunday. There is plen-
ty Of time to take the advice;
Go to church,
Go to the one you prefer. If you have
no choice, go to the nearest one. Makes
very little difference where you go, there
is something there for you. If you have
a wife, take her-or go with her. II
you have children, get one or all Of
them to go with you. Or. go with them.
Walk down the aisle as If you owned
the place. Get as comfortable as you
can, and try to understand the organ
| music. Every prelude to the service has
a significance connected with the topic
Of the day. If you can't figure out
what the organist means, just listen for
the pleasing passages in the music. Put
a dollar or a dime in the contribution
plate Try to get something restful and
helpful out Of the silenees. Watch for
| good things in the sermon. Believe the
preacher is sincere and honest. Impress
yourself with the average good inten-
ton Of the people about you, even If
you can see a man that you wouldn't
trust half way around the block. Re
member that he isn't the only one, and
that there are more good than bad peo-
| ple-even IN a church.
Join In the congregation singing If
you can. Bow your head at the bene-
diction, anyway. You can do that And
go out with the people who have by
their presence there confessed regard
for seemly life, thankfulness to the
| Great Being-by whatever name-that
is responsible for the day. and your
health, and tho countless advantages of
| civilization.
Go on. Go to church. II is one of the
things that man doesn't easily regret.

Portable residence there Is one Of the
certainties. People from every part Of
the Union look forward more and more
to the delights of the water. The lake
is better known. The islands have an
interest that grows stronger with each
year. Trips to the various points in
mand the attention of tourists. And
local people viii have their boats at
Saltair, and competition Of speed IN
them is as certain as that rivalry with
the automobiles is established.
The big success Of the auto show is a
challenge to Manager Rishel and his
friends to stimulate the motor boat in
dustry.

OF unforgotten hours,
Where tendrils from the plants or youth
Have formed unfading bowers.
No foot, save mine, e'er passes through
The gate of this "Gone-By'i
No ear, save mine, can catch the words.
Or hear the gentle sigh
Which comes to me across the bridge
OF Times stupendous space,
To touch with soothing balm the heart
Where grief has left her trace.
No hand, save mine, can Gull the flowers
From recollection's seeds;
No eye, save mine, can see the hight
which grew from noble deeds.
No heart, save mine, can feel response
To every prayer and dream;
No soul, save mine, can draw the glow
From memory's golden beam.

WHAT IS THE GOOD OF THE
FARM SCHOOL?

At Brigham City on Friday night oc-
CURED the closing exercises Of the farm
school which for the week had been oc-
oupying attention Of a large number of
farmers, their wives and children, and
the expert labor OF the very best
equipped teachers in the Agricultural
college. For a week some hundreds OF
people had been receiving the results OF
all that science and experimentation and
ability can do for the farmer and for
the farm. Governor Spry addressed a
great audience in the tabernacle-and
there were other exercises which added
to the interest OF the occasion
But the good of the farm school. if II
did any good at all. was what the
farmers learned previous to that Friday
night meeting. The Governors address,
and that OF Principal Merrill of the
High school, and the reading and the
singing, simply emphasized the accept
ance Of the farm school by the people.
The question IS: Were the men and
women who passed out OF the building,
shaking hands with the Governor, bot
ter fitted for farm work than they were
at the beginning of the week?
And we believe they were.
Only a little while ago any farmer
who would have talked Of phosphates
In his soil would have been laughed out
of every assembling place Of farmers,
or on stock raising, or take papers on
farm topics. You could tell a farmer
wherever you saw him, but you couldn't
tell him much. You couldn't tell him
stand for it. He would laugh at you
until he found you in earnest. and then
he would run you off the place with q
fail And his business showed more
loss and less profit than any other in
the world. The marvel was not that
farmers didn't get rich. but that they
didn't go to the poorhouss
Now they study They arc willing to
admit there Is something IN science as
applied to the farm. They cordially well
come help in their work. They study
their soils, and yield to the argument of
chemicals. They not only pay taxes to
support the Agricultural college. bur
they welcome the men who come from
the college to bring instruction nearer
home.
Because of these farm schools, farms
IN Utah win pay better IN future than
they have IN the past Land will raise
bigger crops. and the profit will BE-
greater. There win be improvement In
the livestock. There viii be betterment
in the home. There will be less OF OBJ
lection and more Of attraction in farm
life
This Is what comes Of such weeks as
that Of the farm school at Brigham.
More happiness, more health, and more
money profit viii come TO the farmers
of Utah. There is no more important
work. There is no greater triumph.
Both for the farmer of the present
and for the rising generation of boys
and girls born and reared on the farm
this work Of the college and the farm
ers Of the state is tremendously valu-
able. Its good can be measured in both
human life and In money.
