TIE HABIT OF CANCELLINo
ORDERS

There are complaints in the trade
papers about cancellations OF orders
In some lines of business. It Is a sore
subject in commercial circles at all
times. In periods OF quiet trade, this
feature Is likely to be particularly
marked Probably the war situation
has led to some cancellations. Three
or four months ago when many orders
we're given for spring delivery, a
great many people felt that the war
would be over before this coming
summer. Few persons take that view
today.
Among manufacturers and whole
sale dealers. the habit of cancelling
orders is one OF the bugbears of
business. Goods that are completed
or under way and thus refused may
be all out Of style by another year.
The seller may lose just as heavily
as If the customer had taken them,
and then gone into bankruptcy. This
causes friction and encouragement,
and so common Is the habit that It
must restrict business.
From the view point OF the retail
er, a cancellation of a previous order
is sometimes a necessity for very
salvation II so, q mistake must have
been made at the start in too lib
eral purchase from some persuasive
salesman.
A large order for future delivery
Is something that a merchant does
well to ponder with great searchings
of heart. While the smooth agent is
talking, 1t may look very good. AT
ter the buyer has slept over 1t, he
may have to argue very earnestly
with his better judgment to justify
the purchase.
Manufacturers say that some deal
ers will carry out contract even at
a loss to themselves and even IL II is
not legally binding. Others cancel
of hand, and order goods with the
feeling that they can stop them any
time, even If they are finished, and
the manufacturer has to haul them
back from the freight house. While
some cancellations are no doubt nee
as a whole it is trade abuse
that tends to obstru.t business.

His keen mind made 1t easy for him
to grasp and solve the difficult prob

that he achieved eminence in his

The spirituality OF the man was

did or thought assumed a spiritual
solution. This was as true OF the
study Of mathematics as 1t was of
the life OF st. Paul. To his mind
this was spiritual world. Every

faculty Of the U. A. c.. was convert
ed to the need of athletics. 1t was
a time when members Of the student
body participating in athletics we're
looked upon with contempt by many
Of the instructors. There was no
money for the work, no suits for the
players, but through the untiring eff
forts and the genuine sportsmanlike
spirit OF Prof. Langton, he proceed
ed to get the athletes Of those early
days to buy their own suits, pro-
vide their own shoes, and to make
donations for which to buy the foot
balls and equipment necessary in
the game. Practice was always at

Langton taught full time he was al
ways willing to stay many times af-

Deseret Evening News, March "a, 1915

Many hearts are sad today over the
death in New York City of Prof.
Willard s. Langton. The circle OF
his friends and admirers Is wide
one. Far more than the average
man, he impressed himself upon those
with whom he became associated.
Wherever he was known he was held
In honor and esteem.
In his work as a teacher thousands
of young men and women came under
his tutorship. To them he endeared
himself, not only by his efforts for
their scholastic development but by
his active interest in every phase of
their welfare, Just few days be-
fore news came that Prof. Langton
was Ill, prominent young attorney
Of this city said Of him, Il have new
er met man who inspired me more
to do my best" This remark is typi-
cal Of the high regard in which he
was held.
For more than IL years Prof.
Langton was member Of the Agri.
cultural College faculty at Logan.
Since that time he has been engaged
in missionary and educational work
In New York. At Columbia univers-
ity he distinguished himself. His
work not only won for him the COW
eted Phi. D. degree but also secured
the recognition of his appointment as
head OF the department OF mathemat-
les in a large New York school.
To the Eastern States mission Of
the Church in the past five years he
has rendered valued service. The
late President Ben e. Rich frequent
ly bore eloquent testimony of his
zeal and usefulness. Officers and
members of the branch in New York
City regarded him as one OF their
most stalwart helpers and defenders.
While at the very zenith of his
life's work, in the full flush of sue
cessful manhood, he was stricken, and
after weeks OF intense suffering he
answered deaths call.
Warm hearted, whole souled and
sympathetic, he will be greatly miss
ed by his former associates. His i'm.
mediate family are plunged into deep
est grief. In this hour OF sorrow II
is difficult for them to recognize
Gods wisdom in calling their loved
one away. Time and calmer reflec-
ton will bring this comfort to them.
Meanwhile there is consolation for

FACULTY LOSES

Student Life, February 26, 1915

The news of the death of Prof.
Willard s. Langton comes to the
older members of the student body
and especially the older members of
the alumni association with a ire.
mendous shock. The older members
OF the alumni association, in fact, all
the students who attended this insti-
tuition had deep appreciation for the
work OF Prof. Willard Langton.
We learn from his relatives that
he was born in Smithfeld, February
26, 1872. After finishing the grade
schools OF Cache county, Prof. Lang
ton went to the University Of Utah
and completed the normal course
given there at that time. The year
following he became associated with
the faculty at the Agricultural Col
lege and bears the distinction OF be.
ing the second local man placed on
the faculty of this institution. Prof.
John T. Game, Jr., being the other
man on the faculty at that time.
While teaching he did the work
necessary to comply with the require
ments for graduation and in 1896
was given the degree OF b. S. from
the Agricultural College of Utah.
When Professor Langton began his
work as an instructor in mathemat-
les, he soon won his way into the
hearts OF the students. Mathematics
had a different meaning to every stu.
dent who took his work. Prof.
Langton had a special liking for delv'
ing into those mathematical difficult
ties which had always been a con-
undrum and a trouble to the stud
ents. His personality and his gift
as n teacher persuaded many stud
ents to take more work in mathemat-
lea than had been their intention or
inclination. 'H~Sl
There are some members of the
alumni association, especially In
those early days when the institution
taught engineering, that can boast OF
having had their entire mathematic-
al training, from arithmetic to calcu-
lous, under the direct teaching OF
Prof. Langton.
He also developed an early inter
est in the study of astronomy. This
was especially helped by the work
he did at Chicago university where
he spent several summers. Prof
Langton's studies and interest were
not confined to mathematics. He
had more than unusual ability In
English and literature and he always
managed to give some OF his spare
time TO the study OF social and re-
ligious problems, in fact the interest
manifested in the Interpretation
which he made Of the religious views
OF life was far in advance of that
made by the ordinary individual.
At one time he decided to turn his
attention TO the work OF biology and
for a number of years he taught the
subjects Of physiology, zoology and
bacteriology in this institution. His
intentions were that at some time he
might give his life to the study Of
, medicine.
Probably the students who hold
Prof. Langton in the dearest mem
cries are those among the earliest

years from 1894 to 1900 he was head

1t is about thirty-five years, as
remember, since I first met Willard
Langton, and that was at his home
in Smithfield. At that time he was
strong, rugged boy, and being in

on the farm, his big bright face the

I, however, knew him best in 1898
when he came to the Utah Agricul-
tural College. At that time he was
a young man Of twenty-one and had
made a success in the grade schools.
He was already an attractive young
man who soon made himself popular
as a teacher. He had complete control

TREE TRIMMING TIME

The rule Is to trim trees at any
time during the dormant season, and
this Is from the time the leaves drop
OFF in the fall until the buds begin to
burst in the spring. The best time,
however, is during the months Of
February and March. One or two
general rules should be observed in
pruning any tree advises the Horticul-
tural Department of the Utah Agri
cultural College. The limbs should
be cut off as close as possible to the
remaining stem, and the cut should
be made parallel to the remaining
stem, or as near that as possible and
should always be painted with a lead
or creosote paint to prevent fungus
diseases gaining entrance to the wood.
This applies particularly to wounds
that are two inches or more In diam.
