OUR WANTS.

Wanting nothing, you would lead an aimIe5s life. You will get accustomed to living your life right through with a want in it. We all have to do that. You will get accustomed to wanting, and this habit will come to be a part of your life. You will be all the better for it.

FLAG DAY

The 10Th of April, which Is next
Wednesday, will be Flag Day. Men
by tens and hundreds beyond the
sea are dying for their flags daily.
All other governments, when we stop
to think what governments stand for,
begin to look second class when mea.
sured for what they hold out to the
people, when compared with ours, and
It should not be left until some su
preme call is sounded to make us APP
preciate what our flag really signi-
fes. Its sovereignty is not ccafined
to our land, half stranded world in
truth turns to it for ultimate redemp-
ton. and the bringing back of peace,
and for such readjustments as shall
permit men and nations to plan for
a future that shall not be overshadow-
ed by menacing clouds. Under all
other forms of government 1t really
is as Napoleon said: "Men are moth.
ing, a man is everything" Hereafter
the man is to count for less. men are
to count for more, and in our land.
If the people shall only be true to
themselves, all the opportunities
which our land has to offer are to
be offered to all alike.
It is that which gives to our flag
the special reverence that is due 1t
and the majesty which no other flag
bears. Hence all who have flag on
Fag Day should bring 1t out and the
should be told what II stands
for and why no other flag means half
so much to mankind .-Goodwin's.

favor on the part of hundreds of
young business men and professional
men of the city, alumni of the Salt
Lake High School, who are making
known their views with reference to
Mr.. Eaton's qualification.
Members Of the board say they
have discovered strong sentiment
in favor OF Mr.. Child existing in the
principals and the teaching corps OF
the system.
Obviously 1t would not be ethical
for the principals and teachers of
the schools to take any part in pro
noting the candidacy of any individu.
nj for the place. However, attention
of members Of the board has been
called to the fact that Mr.. Child's
appointment would not displease the
educators.

THE SCRAPBOOk
HABIT

Mankind may be divided into two
classes: those who preserve fugitive
clippings and those who do not.
Among the former are many who for
lack of classification become the vic.
Tins Of their belongings. They clip
asslduously they lay aside newspa-
rers containing articles they wish to
keep for reference and they postpone
the task of sorting and arrangement
to the rainy day or the interval OF
leisure which never arrives. Pres.
emily they are dismayed to find them
selves confronted by pile of ephe.

in 1t seems hopeless even TO blaze a
trail That is where the person OF
meticulous, orderly habits shows his
irritating superiority. With him day
unto day has uttered wisdom: he has
tabulated and pigeon holed his stores
as they came TO his hand. 1t does
not prove that you are literary and
learned to raise vast rubbish heap
