BOYS DAY PROGRAM UNIQUE

A good-sized crowd was well
entertained at the Boys Day pro.
gram at the Academy Friday night
The numbers were much enjoyed
especially the last-and they all
showed that large measureof abil-
ity and originality had been used in
preparation.
1t was the first of April, and the
joke happened to be on the girls.
The symbolical funeral of the girls
was intensely enjoyed. The flowers
were beautiful.
A dance in the gym followed the
program. Before the crowd left the
gym, Prof James West had aroused
anticipations as to the decorations
below, but they exceeded the widest
expectations Barb wires had been
stretched diagonally from the cor
ners of the room, and from the wires
were suspended punches of sage
brush.

Snow Smashes All
Records

There was 22 inches of snow here
Tuesday, according to the official re-
port of Bishop John Adams, govern
ment weather man. The measure
ment Monday showed is inches.
Fifteen inches is larger than any
other snowfall ever recorded here jn
"a hours. The total snowfall made
1.29 inches of water.
The big snow will insure bumper
crops this year. The moisture that
soaks into the ground will help both
the dry farmers and those on the
project. The run-off from the hills
will be tremendous. Unverified ru-
mors declare that some of the drifts
in the mountains are 40 feet deep

Forget the hundreds of millions Of

into hospital cases. Forget the mill
lions so far put into vocational train

Forget all that is done and past, and
think only Of what must continue TO

Editorial Opinion
WAGE SCALES WITHOUT JOBS

WAGE SCALES WITHOUT JOBS
From the New York Herald.
In the twenty-five different trade
groups of the building industry in
this city there are men out of work
by the thousands and the tens of
thousands There is no employ
ment for them because the cost of
putting up houses is higher than the
investing public will pay and
higher than the renting public can
pay.
Building trade employers propose
that the wage scale be cut a dollar
a day a man to see whether on that
lower building cost basis it is pos
sible to start up the industry again
and put the men back to work. But
the men declare they will not work
for a dollar a day less than the war
imitation wage scale, which is a fine
enough scale to talk about except
that no job goes with it.
What are you going to do with a
labor union system which lets able
bodied workers believe, or act as if
they believe, that a war imitation
wage scale without any job is better
than a job with a pay envelope at
the end of the week?
