IJtanns viii be gratified to near
that the states exhibits at the San
Diego exposition have been rewarded
with five gold medals. 1t is not TOO
much to say that Utah, In the eyes
of the visitors to the two expositions
occupies a place in the very hrst rank
of western states. Some of the west

sufficiently patriotic to construct
buildings at the fair have been con-
tent to live on their past regulations
The visitors from the east however,

lions and look for present publicity
Utah has made and Is making one OF
the best showings at both fairs.
The Agricultural College is partic'
ularly to be commended for its dis
play. The great base relief map or
the state has won universal praise.
1t affords the San Diego exposition
visitor a birdseye view of the main
typographical features of the state

ent to give in detail information CON
corning soil, crops, waterpower, ir-
rigation projects, etc. If any ,criti'
cism should be made of the map 1t
would be that the mountainous reg.
ions are made too conspicuous and
give the impression that greater
part of the state Is mountainous than
is really the case. On the other hand
the map has been of inestimable pub
licity value to the state. Thousands
of visitors to the San Diego exposition
will return to their homes with a
clear understanding of Utah's agri'
cultural and mining resources and
will be constant boosters for the

Fires at Plants
American Munition Works Are Being
Burned and Blown
Up

Acton, Mass, Aug. 80. with a
shock that was felt within a radius
Of 40 miles the glazing mill of the
American Powder Company which
since the outbreak of the European
war has been working to its capacity,
blew up early today. So far as is
known, nobody was killed.
The actual money loss to the com.
pany was not heavy, but 1t was stat
ed that work on large orders prob
ably would be held up for several
weeks. Property owners in the sur
rounding towns, particularly in May.
nard, were heavy losers because Of
the shattered windows.
The mill had been closed down
since Saturday afternoon and the po-
lice expressed the belief that the ex-
plosion had been caused with intent
to cripple the plant. An official Of
the company said that It would take
several weeks to install new machine
ry and that until this was done work
would be at a standstill. Armed
guards have been stationed about
the works for several weeks.

CANYON FIRES


There are two methods Of dealing
with an outbreak of fire at mini
mum expenditure OF effort. One Is to
jump on the blaze at the beginning
and stamp 1t out before 1t gets a
fair headway the other is to stand
around and wait for 1t to die out Of
itself after 1t has consumed every.
thing within reach. Each method
has its advocates. but only one, the
former. meets with any favor in these
days of fixed communities and intel.
ligent citizenship. The middle course
which is far less appropriate than the
first and is vastly more expensive is
the one commonly employed when the
blaze occurs on mountain slopes, on
the public domain, or in places diff

employed in fire fighting. This is, to

Prof. Jou Don Ball on psychiatry or
the relation Of mental disease to Grim

The purpose of the lectures Is Il
teach the policemen to understand
the character with which they are
obliged to deal. The general subject
OF the series is insanity.
Thus far the members OF the POI

in the following forms of insanity:

There are many missionary soci.

Besides this is an age of scientific

If a proper home will solve condi-

ought it to be done in America? u
timately the church will conquer the
home. Christian nature shall save

The ground work of the home is

The West!

Men look to the East for the dawn
things
For the light of rising sun,
But they look to the West, to The
Crimson West,
For the things that are done are
done.
For the eastward sun is a new
born hope
From the dark of the night distilled,
But the westward sun is a sunset
sun,
Is the sun of hope fulfilled.
"Fo" out of the East they have al
ways come,
The cradle that gave the birth
To all the heart warm hopes Of men
To all the hopes of earth.
There in the East Christ arose.
And there in the East there cleaned
The dearest dream and the clearest
dream
That ever prophet dreamed.
And into the waiting West they
came
With that dream child Of the East
And found the hopes they had hoped
Of old
A hundredfold increased.
For there in the East We dreamed
the dreams
or the things We hoped to do.
Here in the West, the crimson West,
The dreams Of the East came true"

WHAT HOME STANDS FOR

"Households there may be, well
ordered and Astounding in comfort
families there may be whose various
! members live in the harmony and
love-but homes, in the true sense,
there cannot be where there is not
one whom manly choice has made Il
wife, and infant lips have. learned to
honor the name of mother"
Rev. William Sunday says: The
longer l live the more | visit UP and
down this land, and see the joys and
and sorrows, the success and failures
of men and women, the more thor.
oughly | become impressed with the
tact that the greatest institution of
the American is home, and every
home should be the center of all that
is elevating, inspiring, uplifting and
every home should be dead to every.
thing that disgraces and polutes."
Everything that makes for peace,
happiness, education, morality and re-
ligiCn centers in the home. Only as
we think of the home as from God
can We think of 1t a proper relation.
1t Is as apples of gold in pictures
Of silver" In fact, it is a community
in itself, having its own separate
rights, wants, interests, authority,
policy and duties. God could have
adopted no better plan for the mold
ing, training and preparing OF the
man for the duties and privileges of
life.
We boast of the power of our insti-
tutions of learning to mold character,
but in that line of service, the home
has the highest claim. Here efficien-
cy is prominently superior. The
home leads the individual by gold
en- cord through the most potent and
formative discipline to the highest
possible attainments in life and char
acter. The state must not lead, but
may ask for men after the home has
prepared them for service. Only a
home can found a state. Our nation
al life will never rise higher than the
home. The neglect of the home ac'
counts for the inmates in our reform
atories, prisons, and asylums. Sixty
five per cent are from homes where
the parents have been divorced.
Broken homes and broken lives
seem to go hand in hand.
The home is related to the church
which has it's distinct place in the
world, like the home and state. The
home, properly managed and direct
ed, gives the church its privilege of
power for the home and state. The
church should impart its holy pre-.
cepts, unfold wildly the life OF our
great Example, uplifting the home in.

complete, without the performance
Of every church duty. The church
has for its vitality the spirit OF evan

must be done at home as well as
abroad. The Lord did not tell us
how 1t was to be done, but simply

Tenth congressional district at Eau
Claire, raps Governor Philip and he
blamed the chief executive for many
things which occurred during the

legislature, for which he was in no

cent speech to commend the governor
for saving 100000 annually to the

the governor in insisting on depar-
ture from the extravaganza of the pro-
gressives and providing for a sane and
