states of union hold postmaster
conventions each year. M r.

ACADEMY NOTES

Sept. 7th ushered in the first
day of the school year. Seventy
five enthusiastic students gaily
hailed one another, each antici-
pating profitable and prosper
Gus school year. This was a
splendid opening the best in
the history of the institution.
At 1920 the faculty and stu
dents assembled in the audito-
rum. A short program was
rendered, consisting of valuable
instructions from the Presidency
and musical parts from Prof.
Crandell and Miss Ada Flake.
The greater p rt of Monday
was devoted to the arranging of
courses, and also short periods
of class work in order that stu
dents might get an insight to
the years work.
A new feature of the schedule
is that devotional is preceded by
the 8:45 class period.
Prof. Brimhall's absence has
caused much anxiety but, accord
ing to most recent reports, it is
expected he will soon be with us.
Don't forget that we have a
music department! The choir
is now in full swing, having
already sung in Thursdays and
Fridays chapel. Indeed it is a
banner choir and the members
were complimented by Prof.
Nelson on their singing.
The orchestra is also doing an
active work; and diligent prac-
tice is being done along musical
lines in general, especially on
the comets, which can be heard
throughout the building about
seven periods daily.
What is there about the Art
room that strikes a person as
being so different? Know we
not that the machines have been
repaired and vanished? Now
for good, hard work.
All the classes are booming
and the students are studying
with vim and vigor.
Are you going to attend the
Academy" is a question on
every side. Come and see us;
inspect our departments; see our
works. Boost! Boost! for
the Academy!

WRITES OF CON-
DITIONS in EUROPE

The following is a portion of
a letter giving conditions in Lon
don during the war received by
Elias Smith from Leo Eagar,
who is missionary in that
country:
Reports, as a whole, which are
published of the war are not
altogether reliable. London pa
pers paint the favorable side of
conditions to please the readers;
Berlin papers likewise wish to
implant a spirit of enthusiasm in
it's readers. Americen papers
naturally receive the most. SEN
sational news, and by the time
this news is transferred from it's
port of receipt in America and
transmitted to. the different pa
pers throughout America, it
only has slight resemblancehto
the truth. | am just like the
Hindu in reading the newspa-
pers, Il don't believe anything
| hear; and only half | see."
When Great Britain was forced,
upon her honor, to enter the
the international conflict, it
struck CONSERVATION to financial
centers throughout England. In
London the Royal Exchange and
Bank of England closed. Those
two centers are the pivot on
which revolve the entire credit
system of England. All other
banks and trust companies had
to follow suit. The rush f o r
ready gold and silver was more
than they could meet. Hotels,
shops and cafes refused to cash
bank notes, and for a time a
panic seemed imminent. The
government issued a soothing
proclamation through the papers,
stating that steps were being
taken to reinforce the banking
system. A three-day Bank
Holiday" was given the banks
to allow them to regain their
equinimity. Resultant Of coun-
ellis of financiers from different
banking institutions, several
million pounds of paper money
was printed in denominations of
ten and twenty shillings and
circulated throughout the King
dom. The Governmental Postal
Savings Department also issued
postal money orders in all de-
nominations, and put them in cir
culation. These two acts tended
to restore confidence, and put a
quietus on the impending panic.
Then arose the food question.
Prices began to advance. See
ing this, and fearing a famine,
thousands of families, who were
fortunate enough to have any
surplus money, invested it in
eatables. This only served to
accelerate hard times. The Par
liamentary Cabinet met in coun-
ell. and when they adjourned,
proclamation was made that no
one will be allowed to raise the
price on any food item.'' This,
to degree, satisfied the pur-

chaser. yet prices have advanced
considerably in face that proc
lamation. Reliable information
has been given the public that
there is sufficient food supplies
within the bounds of England at
present to feed it's population
for six months. Every effort is
being made by the government
officials to economize in the mat
ter of food supplies.
The narrowing proposition that
now affronts the people of Eng
gland is, the hundreds of thous-
ands of people who are on
the verge of starvation. There
are ferty-two million people in
England. Approximately one
third of this number are small
wage-earners, earning from
eighteen to thirty shillings a
week. The check they receive
for this weeks salary pays for
last weeks groceries. When
they stop. work, they simulta-
neously stop eating. Compare
lively speaking, the people in
the western part of America
have no real poverty among
them. A person who would be
looked upon as being in INDECENT
circumstances in the west would
be considered average well-to-do
here in London. One cannot
realize the poverty that exists
in sections of the large cities of
England until they have visited
some of their slums. Take a
trip to Whitechapel or Deptford
in London, and the distressing
scenes that meet your eyes is
heart-rending. 1t only requires
look into the faces of these ap-
pealing, poverty stricken people
to bring to your mind the great
advantages our western country
affords. One trip of this kind
will make the most pessimistic
fault-finder appreciate his home
in the Rockies. The reader will
not take from this, of course,
that poverty is everywhere in
England. No. England is one
of the richest nations of the
earth, and there are hundreds
of thousands of well-to-do fami-
lies in the Isles.
The enlisting of thousands of
men in the army has taken away
the sole support of many homes.
Added to this hundreds of COM
panies have gone out of business,
some going bankrupt; others
closing their doors on account of
unsettled conditions. This adds
an extra stream of people to the
unemployed. There are thous-
ands today walking the streets
of London asking for employ
ment. Anything, I don't care
what kind of work it is, just so
you'll give me some thing to do

peal we frequently have to turn
down.

LAFAYETTE, March 21.-The old

ord of progeny for public approval.

grandchildren and four greatgrand-

The twenty fourth child is younger
than the youngest great -grandchild,
and is said to be a lusty and promis-
ing boy ard is likely to be the honor
baby of the coming reunion of the
Blackman family that has been
f-'nnned. The father of the flock de-
sires earnestly a reunion, that he may
become acquainted with all his grand
children and great grandchildren,
many of whom he has never seen.
Married Twice.
Mr.. Blackman has been married
twice, taking his first wife when ne
was IS years old. OF this union nine
children were born. Nineteen ytArs
after their marriage his first wife died,
and five months later he married his
second wife, who was then in her
nineteenth year and younger than his
oldest child. OF the second marriage,
fifteen children were born. OF the
twenty -four, sixteen are living. There
were no twins or triplets in the lot.
Yet, even with the ponderous rec
ord, Mr. Blackman is yet wistful OF
attaining the count of his own grand
father who had q children.
