The Swedish Almanac.

The Swedish name almanac differs
from English almanacs in giving, be-
sides the usual information, Chris
tian name for each sex for every day
of the year, says London Graphic. The
names set forth have to receive the
approval of the king. The object aimed
ut Is to secure greater choice of
names for parents and to avoid the
endless repetition OF dozen or so
names. A similar name almanac is Is
sued under royal authority In one Of
the German states.

tard and other helpful ingredients, COM
bined in the form of the present white

. Ones Career

~ Strictly speaking, every life is a
career because IL is a course that is
run from start to finish. but as gen
orally used the term implies an I'm
usual life record. something excep-
tionai and out of the ordinary, says a
professor. Childhood is d period of
life, but II is not a career. Ones
career is the life one lives and the
record one makes whether It becomes
known to the public or not, The term
public career is applied to lives large
ly spent in the public service.

Mama Efforts Show worth.

Character is best seen In the pur-
suit of its own ideals. Left to him
self, man finds the level of his own
thinking His leisure hours are the
index Of his inner worth. It's what a
fellow tries to be that shows his aim,
declares Chit. It's easy enough TO
move along with the flowing tide. It's
struggle against odds that tells of
character. The world may never see
your effort because It is engrossed in
itself. But you VIII find the response
OF effort in increased strength and
multiplied power. Even II you never
succeed in realizing an ideal. you are
better man for having made the at

Minister Without Portfolio.

The phrase minister without port
folio means a member of ministry
or cabinet to whom no special depart
ment is assigned. The phrase is used
only In England, and We have no cor
responding phrase in this country,
notes an international authority.
Prior to December. 1916, the British
cabinet consisted of the political chiefs
or heads of the principal government
departments, and exceeded 20 in num-

Strict Accounting.

"A business man requires those who
handle money to account for all ex-
penditures, holds an employee respon-
sible for the full amount trusted to
him and demands vouchers for all dis
bursements. Even then he may not
be satisfied without a cash audit by
an accountant. Material should be
accounted for on exactly the same
theory as cash itself talthough pos
sibly less rigorously), says Stephen
Gilman, in Industrial Management.

Polishing Diamonds.

Before the polishing of n diamond
is begun the rough stone must be held
firmly. This is accomplished by build
ing solder mold for 1t. The mold is
first roughly shaped by hand and
heated. 1t is then reshaped as often
as necessary to fit the stone perfectly.
When 1t is exactly right, it is heated
again and the stone dropped in. Held
firmly by the snug solder mold, the
stone can then be handled easily.

Fate and Fancy

Mnny of us feel that Fate has not
treated us fairly-that II we had had
such and such an opportunity how full
and satisfying life would be, says a
student of human nature. But Fate
is pretty accurate, after all. If we
only look around us we will discover
and all too quickly, that those whom
we consider more fortunate" have as
much and even more to contend than
we have.

The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-04-17
NO POLITICS NOW.

President Wilson has cause to rejoice at the stand
taken by number of our most prominent Americans
we say Americans because are all Americans now
There was time when there some Democrats and
few Republicans The attitude taken by some of those
who were once prominent Democrats not such that will
cause the President to gush with joy and pride but the
attitude of such hitherto strong Republicans Theodore
Roosevelt, William H. Taft Elihu Root, Charles E.
Hughes Henry Cabot Lodge and James R. Manu. is GER
tany such that will cause the Presidents American heart
to thob with joy and satisfaction All of these have been
tour of strength to the President in his hours of trial
and their calls to their countrymen to stand behind the
PRESIDENT certainly have convinced him that there
politics now For instance listen to the words of that
great American Charles E. Hughes at dinner in New
York recently given in his honor He said:
Il am prouder than have ever been that am an
American citizen, because this time of test the Amer
can people have responded with the true instinct of de-
ocracy and are prepared to do their part to the end
that we shall be governed by law by agreement by con-
ceptlon of right, and not brute force.
There has been finer statement of our principals
OF our ideals of the motives that influence u.s. since the
days of Lincoln than that stated in the matchess state
paper of President Wilson in his recent message"
