COMPANIoNsHIP OF BOOKS

Judge V. C. Gunnell will have
done a great service if he sue
ceeds in interesting hayward
boys and girls in good reading.
II has turned the tide in the
right direction for many whose
feet were treadipg dangerous
paths. There are plenty of good
men and women today whose
younger days had their share of
Wild oats and whose lives were
turned in the right direction by
reading good books. There is
an old maxim that the boys
best friend is his mother.
There are plenty of cases on rec.
ord where this statement might
be argued with the verdict
against the mother. There are
so many parents who ard not in
close touch with their 4ildren.
They will work for them|and de-
fend them, but still fail to ad'
wise them on things vital tC
their future.
A good book is an unfailing
friend. /: gives companionship,
comfort and advice. 1t acceler-
ates good thoughts that cleanse
the mind of evil. Judge Gunnell
has an excellent plan. = Ogden

LOPEZ SUGGESTIONS

At the imminent risk of in
volving the Park City Record in
a turmoil with the Observer,
Sheriff Froyd and their Salt
Lake correspondent, we are
making bold to reproduce the
following from its columns:
Suggestions galore are being
made relative to the capture of
the murderer Lopez. One
paper thinks a good idea would
be to turn a flock of skunks in
the mine where the fugitive is
supposed to be hiding. with tin
cans Tied to their tails, that the
perfume" might effect sur
render. A Bingham miner sug
gests that herd of African
lions be turned loose in the mine
workings and then in the course
of time search their insides
for a trace of Lopez. Splendid
ideas. The Record suggests
that the living monument OF
bravery. the sheriff of Salt Lake
county, be forced into the mine

on behind the bulkheads. result
ing in such a spasm of fear tina
he would resign, thus giving ;
good man a chance to try othe1
methods than the waiting
game" and the hide and seel
tactics that is costing Salt Lake
county such a large sum Of
money"
The editor of the Park City
Record has committed an unpar
donable sin by the publication
of the foregoing sentiments. HI
should be crucifed with The
Observer and its Salt Lake cor
respondent one on either side t
make up the proverbial company
on such occasions.

STATE MOURnS FOR NELSON

There is scarcely a town or
hamlet in the State of Utah
where regret is not sincerely
felt over the death at Salt Lake
City last week of State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction,
A. C.. Nelson. There are few,
if any. residents of the state
who take an interest in public
affairs, and particularly educa-
tional matters. to whom the de-
ceased was not personally
known. to know was to love aD$;
admire him.

a few days after his return from

MOVING PICTURES
TARGET PRACTICE
innovation Which Promises to
Become Very Popular with
Society People

Society this winter will have
the delightful experience of
shooting wild animals in the
drawing room, says Wendell
Philips Dodge in the November
Mechanics Magazine. No longer
is it necessary to 60 to the heart
of Africa, the Businesses of the
Ural Mountains or the crags of
the Rockies to shoot big game.
This can now be done between
Office hours and dinner in a
business suit or after dinner in
evening clothes, with no danger
to the sportsman, by means of
the motion-picture shooting
gallery.
From the point of view of
sport, the "life" target excels
anything ever seen on any rifle
range. The excitement of shoot
ing at birds on the wing, at
horses leaping fences, airmen
soaring and dipping, polar bears,
Indians in ambush, lions and
other beasts in the jungle,
motorcycles racing, automo-
biles speeding, wild ducks TAX
ing to the water-almost any
thing in motion-can not be ap-
preciated without actual expert
ence.
| A New York theatrical man.
ager, hunting for plays on the
Continent last spring, fell upon
the trail of the life-target shoot
ing pictures. He took his first
shot at them in Berlin, and from
that day he has not been able to
leave a rifle alone. He brought
back with him the American
rights in this latest movie"
craze.
The novelty of the device is
that the instant the rifle cracks
the moving film halts for a frac-
tion of a second, just long
enough for one to see where his
shut has hit. Whether it is a
seal slipping into the water
from a rock, a springing lion or
a leaping antelope, the instant
the rifle cracks the moving OBJ
ject stops. Then, where the
bullet pierces the white paper
screen, a little hole appears,
showing a red light. This glows
for an instant; then the film re-
sumes it's motion.
The life target provides the
marksman with objects to shoot
at under conditions as realistic
as the modern cinematograph
can make them. The pictures
can be adapted to represent oh.
jects at any desired range and
at any rate Of movement, and
the mechanism can be so adjust
ed as to take account of all the
conditions of actual shooting
so that, in firing at a moving
object 1000 feet away. the
marksman must take into con J.
sideration the motion of the OBJ
ject between the moment of
pulling the trigger and the
moment the bullet would reach
the mark.
For the training of military
marksmen the cinematograph
target has been approved by the

MOVE OUT ON THE FARM

"Get Back to the Right Kind
of Nature, in Utah." is the slo-
gan printed in red ink on the
stationery of the Utah Develop
ment League, and 1t breaches a
whole sermon to the people of
the state, and particularly to
the farmers. There is no &C.
cupation so stable and secure as
that of farming. There is no
profession more lucrative if good
sense and management is en-
ployed. The practice of farmers
living in town, and hauling their
hay, straw and other products to
town, there feeding it to ami
mails. and then hauling the man.
ure back, would bankrupt a
Rothschild if practiced on a
large enough scale.
The prosperous and well-to-do
farmer of today resides on his
farm. He raises sheep, hogs,
cattle. poultry. ETC., and instead
of selling his hay. straw, corn
and practically every thing
raised to others, he feeds it to
his own animals. and then mar
kets the live stock. etc.
Alfalfa will raise and prac-
tically fatten cattle, sheep, hogs.
turkeys, and almost all the
livestock on a well appointed
farm. With a little corn and
rye to feed in the fall, either in
the form OF pasturage or in the
pens. all kinds of domestic ami
mails can be put in good condi-
tion for market. In an sgricul-
tural locality. such as this there
should be no scarcity of butter,
cheese. cream, eggs. chickens,
etc. And instead of shipping
in these and other commodities.
such as bacon, flour, grain, etc.,
we should be Shipping out endless
loads. But in order to accom-
plish this revolution, it is neces-
sary that we move out onto our
farms and make a study of the
best methods to pursue--the best
products to raise. That Is what
we expect Southern Utah's Ari-
cultural College is going to do
for US. and if it does, it will be
the greatest thing that ever
came to Southern Utah.
Speaking of the conditions
that prevail over a portion of
southern Utah. in a circular let
ter to the newspapers and other
Interested persons, L. A. Mer-
ril. agricultural expert for the
Salt Lake Route, comments as
follows:
at seems strange that in an
Agricultural community there
should be any difficulty insecur-
ing farm products for local con-
sumption. 1t is a fact. however,
that the Commissary depart
ment Of i t Tie Salt Lake Route are
encountering difficulties in the
way of securing supplies for
their dining car service.

agent for the Salt Lake Route is

very best products that can be
obtained since the patrons along
the line are able and willing to
pay a good price for good

at would seem to us that
there is an opportunity for some
of our farmers to get in touch
with the Commissary agent and
make arrangements for certain
and continuous market for these
products. In this connection
our attention was recently called
to the fact that most of the
meat products shipped to the

WANT REPRODUCTION
Of MOUNT VERNON

T. 8. Winston, q member Of the
board Of visitors Of Mount Vernon
wakes enthusiastic when approached
on the subject OF the reproduction OF
the historic home Of George Washing
ton in the proposed Virginia State
exhibit at the Panama-Pacifc EXPOSE
ton. A bronze replica OF the Houdon
statue of Washington will be erected
in the Virginia building Mr.. Winston
is quoted as follows:
II regard as peculiarly appropriate
the projected reproduction of Mount
Vernon as Virginia's exhibit at the
Paaama-Pacific exposition. Such an
exhibit. In my opinion, will be far
more distinctive than any Industrial
or commercial display that could be
assembled and transported across the
continent with the limited appropria-
ton that the State has made for this
purpose
Il was particularly impressed with
the stewardship of the women OF the
Mount Vernon association who adj
minister this patriotic charge" said
Mr.. Winston. They have left moth
ing undone to reproduce faithfully At
Mount Vernon the very atmosphere
which one feels must have surrounded
it when it was the home of Wash
ington. They are continually adding
to the store OF relics and are acquiring
articles of furniture and wearing APP
parei used by Washington az fast -
they are offered for sale.
at Is nothing less than an inspirA-
ton to set foot In the halls which
a century ago echoed TO the footsteps
of the father of his country, The
furnishings are the same that wash
ington knew. and everywhere are per-
sonal relies intimately associated with
his long public life

The influences OF the United states is
