in this section.
The announcement has been made
that the Utah Savings and Trust
company of Salt Lake has been ap-
pointed local transfer agent for the
preferred stock Of the company and
the Tracy Loan & Trust company
of Salt Lake as local registrar. The
New York transfer agent is the
Guaranty Trust company of New
York and the New York registrar is
the Bankers Trust company of that
city. With the announcement Of
these appointments comes also the
interesting news that while the Utah
Power & Light company, which
supplies electric service to this COM
munity as well as a number of other
cities and rural communities throu-
ghout this region, was originally
financed by eastern capital, the peo-
pie in the territory served are grad
ually acquiring an interest in the
company to such an extent that at
the present time a large part of the
preferred stock of the Utah Power
& Light company is owned by Gus
toners of the company.
The officers of the company ex-
press keen satisfaction over the de-
mand for the stock and point out
that it is an indication that the in
terest in the operation of this home
institution and hat they have con-
fidence in the future of the territory
itself and consequently in the grow

AS a result Of land classification
work, more than eight million acres
were eliminated from the National
Forests in the last fiscal year, and
in addition, over 100 individual
tracts within the Forests were made
available for homestead entry, &C
cording to the annual report of Hen
ry S. Graves, chief of the Forest
service, which emphasizes the neces-
sarily permanent character Of the
National Forests, and points out the
importance of definitely determining
the status of the land which the
forests contain.
1.-The National forests" says Mr..
Graves, ARE gaining in stability
through the land classification work
1t is important for the general pub
lie to know what lands are to be
retained permanently by the govern
ment, and what lands will be avail
able for agricultural settlement. The
whole forest enterprise Is based on
a view to constructive development
OF the property and its constantly
increasing usefulness.
Every timber sale is made with
a view to future consequence. The
work of protection from fire is not
only to prevent the destruction of
standing timber but to save young
growth and encourage the natural
reproduction on lands which have
been injured by previous abuse.
Millions of trees are established
each year which will not come to
maturity for very long time. A
regulated system of grazing looks to
the upbuilding Of the Forest range,
as well as to its present use; and
the investment Of public funds in ex-
tensive improvements is predicated
on the permanence of the govern
ment enterprise"
The need for consolidating land
ownership where government and
private lands are interlocked Is
pointed out by Mr.. Graves. Con-
Fress has, he states, already author
lied an exchange of lands on the

Manila, p. L. April 25.-The
municipal government OF Manila will
undergo a radical change as a result
of the city elections which will be
held June 6, interest in which has
already developed SO far that there
are seventy-tive candidates for ten
positions Of members of the munich
pal board, which is to be elected
While heretofore the general mass
of the Filipino people have paid lit
tie heed to elections, each year has
shown growing interest, and the
coming local contest will be one of
the most exciting political campaigns
that the city has known since the
American occupation
The new city charter passed by
the legislature at its last session
calls for the election of "a municipal
board of ten members Heretofore
this board, which has consisted of
six members, has had only two direct
representatives of the people, the
other members having been the al
calde or mayor appointed by the
governor general, two other mem
bers appointed by the chief executive
and the city engineer as member
ex-officio. The new charter requires
the election of all members, not by
districts, but by the city at large. In
addition to the board, but not
member of it, there will be an al
calde, appointed by the governor
general, and his office will closely
resemble that of the mayor of the
average American city.
Some of the numerous candidates
for places on the board are men who
have mingled in the political game
here since the first days of Ameri-
can occupation, but there are many
newcomers. with new ideas and
ideals of political service. In some
respects the election will mark bat
tie between the old and the new a
struggle between the generation
which has ruled Filipino politics for
many years, and the generation
which has barely come to maturity,

D r IF TING
(By Miss Nellie Fidler.)

The following essay was delivered
by Miss Nellie Fidler at the COM
mencement of the Lakeland High
school:
The glowing beams of the setting
sun, as they shone on the ripping
surface of a beautiful lake, seemed
to CLEAN less brightly as shadow
passed between them and me.
The shad6x passed. slowly, and
rather uncertainty over the golden
pathway; and, upon cloer inspection,
it assumed the definite proportions
of small boat. It's oars were in
their places ready for action. Yet
it was propelled by no force other
than the impetus given it by the
gently furrowing waves, which
rocked it placidly toward its I'M
goal. Perhaps tomorrow these same
waves would be just as placidly roll
ing in the opposite direction. What
then of the poor little boat? 1t, too,
unless some thoughtful person came
to the rescue. would reverse it's
course, and, just as placidly, drift in
the opposite direction
AS l watched it, the similarity
which it bore to lives which we all
have known entered my mind and
changed my passing interest to a
most absorbing fascination.
The similarity was indeed pathetic.
The little craft tossed first this way
and then that, buffeted by the waves
of fate, had seemingly no definite
course-no real purpose Just drift
ing.
Are not derelicts of real life in
much the same pathetic situation?
The pupil who neglects to prepare
his daily assignments, assuring him
self that tomorrow" he will certain
ly study them all carefully, is just
as surely drifting toward final fail
ure as It's possible for storm driven
vessel to drift toward cruel rocks,
and thereby meet destruction upon
these same pitiless foes.
The employee who shirks his duty
from day to day, who is continually
asking for leave of absence, or
wants "to get off" little earlier in
the afternoon because of some en-
sagement, who does only that which
he cannot possibly ignore as his duty
to perform, who watches the clock
continually-he has not the true in
teerst of his employer at heart, and
is, no matter what his occupation,
just as surely drifting toward one of
the most numerous of all failures on
that fatal list.
TITS this type of failures who rev.
er understands why Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Green, the gentlemen who onrc
occupied the desks on either side of
him, have been advanced, until they
stand well toward the top on the
ladder of their achievements He
drops into a convenient receptacle
the work which could be done today
but can wait until tomorrow, folds
his hands and tips back his chair,
and consoles himself with the assrr-
ance that he "never was lucky any
way :"

South China sea is said to hold num-
berless terrors. It's unsupported
shoals, and it's unheralded typhoons
are sources of no little precaution to
the practical seamen. Yet for the in
experienced these have no terror.
They laugh at their counsellors'
warning, and, alas, all too late they
see their mistake.
Does this not typify one of the
most common of the twentieth CEN
fury drifters? l mean the youth of
our great universe. In the world of
today there are many unsupported
shoals and rocks, waiting to dash
into fragments the best and most
worthwhile ideals and principles of
the young intellect. And many,
many times when some older, wiser
person admonishes youthful misde-
meanors, their advice is received all
too lightly. Some one says, why
don't you go? Everyone else is 60
ing. Your mother must be dread
fully old-fashioned to forbid you do
ing what all the others do" All! if
there were more old-fashioned moth
ers today, there would be fewer
newly-fashioned vices.
Twas party of careless pleasure
seekers who permitted their boat to
drift down the river and before they
realized it, they were in the grasp
of that fatal current which carried
them over Niagara Falls. They tried
to see how near they could approach
the current and not be caught. The
result was not surprising. "He who
plays with fire will most assuredly
be burned"
And the world asks the needless
question, What becomes of all these
drifters?" The penitentiaries, the
asylums, the cemeteries and the
streets are peopled with them. There
| is an abundance and to spare wher-
ever man is found They are, in most
cases more to be pitied than con-
demned, for somewhere back along
life's pathway, someone started them
wrong.
Some mother, perhaps, taught her
children to gamble when she enter
tanned her fashionable friends. Some
father cultivated a liking for intoxi-
cants in his son by means of the
ever-present decanter.
I'm sure We all remember hearing
of the little fellow who, when cross
ing the street, attempted to step in
his fathers tracks. More persons
are stepping in our tracks than we
may we'll imagine Man is natural
ly an imitator-he must have some
gauge whereby he can measure his
own capacity.
Let us make it our life's motto
to measure unquestionably true, so
that we will not be ashamed of those
who follow in our footsteps
Let lis have a well-defined high
ideal and definite purpose, a mis-
sion in life And in the faithful full
filling of that mission. May we new
or falter, or turn aside to become
mere drifters with the tide of human
affairs.
