The Presldent,s Duties.

The people chose Woodrow Wilson
as their president and voted the Demo
Gratis into power because they wished
certain policies carried out. Few of
the Democrats who supported their
party in the recent campaign care any
thing whatever about the offices. What
they wish is to see their party and its
president make a record that shall
commend itself to the people. That is
all they ask. The country as a whole
is deeply interested in the work that

For weeks before the fegtival thou

A simple and effective way to clean
kid gloves is to draw them on the
hands and go over them with a clean

Some of these associations
look to physical development,
others to mental and moral,
and still others to both. In
a little book prepared by an
association of the last named
class. the writer recently
found this statement: Par
ents are as, much responsible
for the seltishness of their
children as they are for their
existence" This rather en-
phatic statement led to quite
a discussion of the matter
with the mother OF several
children, who told the writer
that she had been engaged
ever since her first born in
combating selfishness and
developing generous impulses
in her children. In relating
her experiences she told this
little story:
AT this season of the year
my children got into the habit
of expressing their desires
for particular Christmas gifts.

children to help Santa Claus all they could and every

their own desires beyond the expression of them
They have at least curbed their selhshness, and think
that have led them to be generous to extent"
In this woman's experience lies of practical
value than be found in all the that can be pub
shed by all the associations in chrisendom She got
the root of the whole matter and she applied the
remedy-a remedy that did not directly curb that did
not punish but effected by ndirecton the very result

way? How many to treat their children in the

crest Of the subdivision is the third,
It is planned to develop these with prl'
vate resources and maintain them by
arrangements with adjacent property
holders. The main sunken garden, from
Thirteenth East street, however, has
been decided outright to the city by the
owners of Douglas Park, with the pro-
vision that the city establish and for
ever maintain the property as sunken
garden and public park.
To the east of Diestal road in Doug
las Park and to the north of Ninth
South street is a deep, winding ravlne
with mountain stream tumbling along
through its heavily wooded bottom the
year round Here several very fine
homes are to be built by wealthy men
who have purchased lots, and prepara'
tions are under way to so landscape
these building sites that they will merge
artistically with the natural ravine to
the east Of them.
The city is also to put in a surface
park at the southeast intersection Of
Diestal road and Ninth South in Doug

of the space between Diestal road and

FOR THE MERCHANTS
Local Wholesalers and Retail
ers Are Well Pleased With
Conditions.

Business in local retail circles dur
ing the last week has been of the very
best, say the local merchants. The set
tied condition Of the weather has
brought out the crowds and everywhere
tho sales have reached enormous pro-
portions. Due to the late springs usual
in Utah, the business increases rather
slowly and when finally tho summer
time arrives and shows signs Of re-
naming, business conditions reach a
sound basis.
In the dry goods stores, the pur-
chases have been largely Of light sum-
mer goods. Silks OF washable and
light variety have been in great de-
mand. Sales this year have been each
month larger than corresponding months
IN 1912. Women are now buying sea-
sonable goods, waists Of light textures,
piece goods, ratines, voiles and crepes.
Hosiery in colors to match dresses and
suits has also been in demand.
The local hardware trade reports no
diminution, although the business has
not reached any large proportions. The
business has consisted largely of mis-
cellaneous merchandise and supplies 20.

In the furniture business, home build
ers have purchased large amounts of
household furnishings House cleaning
has added to the business, which seems
to be large throughout the city. Porch
goods and outdoor furniture of all
kinds have been in much demand.
In the mems furnishing stores, the
business has continued along summer
lines, Straw hats are still being sold
and the lighter weights IL clothes have
found ready sale.
