Doctrine Of Fear.

There is no place in an intelligent
faith for the doctrine Of fear. Fear
has flied the world with slaves and
cringipg sycopllAnts. Fear has driven
little children TO beds Of terror. Fear
has been the power OF the rack, dun
seou and scaffold. Fear has been
the tool OF rapacious priesthood,
the power that has dwarred and
crampcd the minds of men Fear
is the implement OF ignorance and
the tool of mendacity. II has no

this world is Gods world, then fear

Funds Now Low.

One drawback TO the plan Of the
southern Utah folk &c secure q branch
Of the state agricultural college lies in
the fact that the estimated revenue Of
the state for the next two years is so
limited that any large outlay for 3 new
branch school will necessarily meet
OF the south will be satisfied with a
beginning, and will not complain if the
beginning is merely a station Of the
agricultural college for extension work.
They will continue TO urge, however,
that Richfield is the ideal location for
a branch school
The suggestion has been made that
the branch normal at Cedar be trans
formed to an agricultural school. This
plan has not met with a great deal OF
favor, however. because Of its isolated
location, and because the school is at
present serving q good purpose.

Field Is Wide.

4 branch of the agricultural college
at Richfield would draw students from
SEWER, Wayne. Piute, Garfield, Kane,
Saupete and Millard counties which
comprise n vast area of rich agricul-
tural land. The attendance AT the Lo-
gan school from these counties Is
pecessarilv limited because Of the dis
tapce. In Sewer county the land is
especially fertile because of the nitro
gen and other mineral plant foods ID
the soil. A sugar factory was estab
lished there not long ago, and the fer
tile soil is producing banner beet crops.
In the porthern portion of Sewer coun-
ty aud the southern part of Saupctc
county a large colony Of Jews at the
new town called Clarion is cultivatipG
5000 acrcs secured from the state.

Location Invites.

Richfield is in the center Of j rich
agricultural area. Recently large sec
tion of this country was reclaimed by
the Piute reservoir project constructed
by the state. The people of this sec.
tiou are greatly interested in agricul-
turc, horticulture and stock raising.
Within the last few years scientific
methods have been applied to agricul
ture in this section with gratifying re-
suits. At the urgent request Of tbe
people of the south, the agriculture
college this year will hold a big farm
ers' roundup at Richfield, beginning
next Thursday.
The people OF southern Utah who are
urging that a branch of the agricultural
college be established in the metropolis
of the southern half of the state, de
clare that the school would have a won
dcrful stimulating effect ou the devel
opment Of one of the richest sections
Of the state. They point to the devei-
opment of Cache valley as direct re-
suit Of the establishment Of the agri.
cultural college in that section. and
declare that a branch al Richfield will
do as much for the south.

a dash across the isthmus, hoping
that the glory Of new discoveries
would feinstate him in favor in the
Spanish court, and from a mountain
top on Sept. Is, 1913. he first saw the
Pacific ocean. He made peace with
the Indians, collected some loot in

back to Santa Maria, where he was
arrested by the new governor. Pedra-

Balboa was the idol Of the soldiers,

was forced to let him 60. For three
years the two quarreled. but finally q
truce was patched up with the under
standing that Balboa was to marry .
daughter OF the governor and settle
down az a dutiful son-in-law. Balboa
had neglected to mention, however.
that he had taken a wife or two

Then Mr.. Bowser examined the
wheels. They were all there. He took
a long look at the handle bar. but dis
covered nothing wrong with it. The
pedals seemed to have been hung on
at the right places, and he could find
no fault with the saddle. Mrs. Bowser
stood watching him over the gate, but
he pretended to be oblivious Of her
presence and drew a long breath and
made ready for another try at it. It
suddenly occurred to him that he didn't
get IN hops enough, and SO he started
out on q new plan. With his foot on
the step he began hopping and hump
ing. His idea was to get a good head
way and then rise like bird, but at
into the ditch, and there was another
wrestling match, in which it came out
on top.
You see. sou can't do it," said Mrs
Bowser, as she went out and pulled
the wheel off him. You don't seem
to hold the wheel right and you hop
on the sole OF your foot
Mr. Bowser arose and pointed to
the open gate. and 30 strong was his
emotion that 1t was a full half minute
before he could say:
"Am I running this business, or are
