The old adage that: Its an ia wind that blows
no good" appears to be verined In the present in
stance Several years ago the sugar people erect
ed an immense plant at Nampa, Idaho, the farmers
in the vicinity responded with splendid acreage
OF beets and for a time all went well. But
a tiny insect the white fly, appeared and acre af-
ter acre of beets put beyond the pale of use
funess. After repeated efforts upon the part OF
the sugar people asd the farmers 1t finally de-
cided to abandon the industry in that section, the
immense plant shut down, and in that condi-
ton 1t has remained ever since.
Now the ,I.p, ,v noes its intention of
removing the plante carte blanche to Spanish Fork.
There with the opening of the Strawberry irrigation
project thousands of of choice beet land will
be made availab Thus far the best has been
kept out of Utah. and with the splendid activity
being manifested by the agricultural College
experts it is doubtful whether it will ever gain
a foothold here.

and its people and emphasizes the confidence which

With the vast public reasonable and honesty
the accepted standard what must the advertiser
do to sway public opinion? Above all things he
must understand and believe in the public He
realize that it is reasonable, and he must be
impressed with the necessity for honesty in his
dealings with it, His advertisement should be not
only plethoric with promise but potential with per-
formance They should be clothed in originality
and vitalized with truth; they should not be de-
signed to sway public opinion only for personal
profit, but also for the public good. BY this l
mean that the object of personal gain should never
induce the advertising of any article thing that
would be injurious to the public health or public
morals and that the advertiser should undertaking.
ly exploit those things only which, while offering
an honest reward compatible with the public
good.
1t is fine and inspiring thing, this striving of
the people for improvement in their ethical
standards 1t has undoubtedly produced much dis
turbance and agitation, but it has aroused keener
consciousness of right, and has moreover inspired
a higher and nobler endeavor
All that advertising men have to do all that
the men in public life have to do, all that the
managers of big business and of big corporations
have to do, to sway public opinion is to be respon-
sive to the higher ethics; to have faith in and to
understand the people; to deal squarely and hon.
estly with them, and to measure up to the popu.
lar aspiration for better and cleaner methods in
all the concerns o. civilized life.-W. G. McAdoo.

mans Thanksgiving: God of commonsense,
give Thee thanks for the heavy blows of pain
that drive me back from perilous ways into har-
mony with the laws of my being for singing
whips of hunger and cold that urge to bitter striv-
ings and glorious achievement; for steepness and
roughness of the way and staunch virtues gained
by climbing over jagged rocks of hardship and
stumbling through dark and painless sloughs of
encouragement; for the acid blight of failure that
has burned out of all thought of easy victory
and toughened my sinews for hercer battles and
greater triumphs; for mistakes / have made and
the priceless lessons have learned from them;
for dislluson and disappointment that have clear
ed my vision and spurred my desire; for strong
appetites and passions and the power they give
when under pressure and control; for my imper-
fections that give me the keen delight of striving
toward perfection.
God of common good and human brotherhood,
| give Thee thanks for siren songs of temptation
that lure and entangle and the understanding of
other they reveal, for the weaknesses and
fangs of my neighbors and the Joy of lending
helping hand for my shortcomings, sorrows
and loneliness, that give me deeper sympathy
for others; for ingratitude and misunderstanding
and the gladness of service without other reward
| than self expression Arthur w Newcomb.
