Local Man Purchases
Land Near Pelican Point

Several hundred acres Of state
land on the west shore Of Utah lake
near Pelican point were sold by the
state land office Monday to w. H.
Chapman OF American Fork for $7.02
per acre.
The land was tentatively sold when
offered for auction few months ago
to A. BURGER Of Sioux City, Iowa,
for Se.26. Brsuger was the high bid
der but he declined to purchase the
plot on the ground that he thought
@e.26 represented the whole sum 70
be paid for the property. The bid Of
Mr.. Chapman received by sealed
tender was n cents higher than the
bid Of the Sioux City investor and
Mr.. Brueger 10 therefore relieved OF
any liability which might have been
held against him because OF his bid
ding.
Mr.. Chapman states he will use
the land for grazing purpose and

THOUGHTS EVOLVED
FROM THE LATE
ELECTIONS

II those elected lately would
Discharge their pledges - they could.
o what blessing II would be
To this fair land Of Liberty
II lobbying would close its gate
And selfish motives there abats. -
Were business In the open done
And favors not by taking won
And legislators everywhere w
Were doing things exactly square.
Then things would take better turn
And fewer folks have cause to mourn.
But sad to say some are inclined
To shirk the laws 30 we'll defined.
And labor hard by day and night
To subjugate the claims for right,
And thus entail upon the nation.
The crushing burdens Of taxation.
We do not mean to think or say
That many are inclined this way.
But plain II IL that some prefer
A fulsome office badge to wear
And strut about with airs go hign
That makes them dream they're Ia

Be we'll assured ye tickle few
The voters eyes are fixed on you
And every wrong advance you max;
VIII value from your office take.
SO take the hint and be trueheartet
And let your whole strength be i'm.

And do your best In cheerful MOOD
To boost the cause OF Brotherhood.

S0vIETS TO MAKE BID AT GENOA FOR
 WORLD TRADE AID
Krassin Declares Restoration Of Worlds Economic
 Life Futile Without Russia

London. Feb 14.-Soviet Russia is entering the Genoa conference with the firm conviction that there can be no economic rehabilitation of Europe except through the rehabilitation of Russia, but at the same time she will resist any effort at economic and political enslayement," according to M. -Leonid Krassin, head of the Rus e sian Trade Delegation in London.
 ''The problem of the economic re- generation of Russia is not one mere , ly of humanitarian activity, and is Anot confined in its scope to the saliva stion of Russia alone" M. Krassin de- cIared. Without it there is no hope Tor the regeneration of the economic life of Europe and even of the whole world.
 ..HeavyeSindustry in Russia can be restored only by some form of gen eral measure which shall enlbra e Simultaneously all the enterprises Of the given area. It is difficult to outline the mechanism of such an apparatus of reconstruction; but the most effective would appear to be 1zaa formation of several large trusts.

CHINESE NOT OVERJOYED
 AT WASHINGTON RESUL IS
Do Not Believe Foreign Interference Has Been Removed
 As People Wish.

Shanghai Feb. 1.-The Chinese are not overjoyed at the accomplishments of the Washington conference relative to Far Eastern affairs, though thank pressure of the Japanese heel on the neck of their proStrate land.
 The year 1921 was a gloomy one for patriotic Chinese statesmen, they admit. Torn by civil dissension, the Washington conference in the Fall of 1921 1oomed as the star of hope for solution of Chinese problems and riding the Hand of foreign interfer- ence. The conference has ended, but there is still civil dissension, two gov ernments one at Peking and one at Canton-and China still is not able to regulate all her own internal af- fairs without the o. k. of leading foreign nations
 Comment in the street is that the Chinese delegates at the Washington conference did not come within Chinese questions. And Chinese stu dents, members of labor unions, edu- eational associations and chamb mbers of commerce declare that in the great test of friendship the washing ton conference-failed-

ping politicians and nandarins." Dispatches telling of the demon strations of the Chinese residents in Washington in connection with the Shantung question tanned the enthu- siasm of the Chinese, and larger and more important mass meetings and parades were held throughout China. Then the powerful war-lord, Chang Tso-ling decided to deal the cards and made a surprise trip to Peking. In his first deal he threw out the old Cabinet. which was very unpopular and put in a new Cabinet, with Liang Shih-yi at the head, and it was re- ported that Liang Shih-yi was ac- ceptabIe to South China and that the star of peace was rising.
 Past Is Denounced. But Dr. Sun Yet-Sen at once de- nounced the reports of pact with the new Premier or any other Picking leaders, declaring them to be "entire fabrications'; and General Wu Pei flu, leader of still another faction in China, failed to dispatch a congratu- iatory message to Liang Shih-yi, and rumors of his preparations to move his troops against Peking were cir culated.
 What will happen next in kaleido- scopic China?
 Foreign residents refuse to specu- late. But they say these questions are pertinent:
 Will the masses, led by the stu dents, organized labor and ner- chants, rise up and overthrow the Peking Government and perhaps in inc revolution strive to drive out the foreigners? Will Japan keep on en- croaching and forcing her will bit by bit on China? Will China work out her own salvation establish a strong central government. set her own house in order by settling her internal differences and enforce laws which will enable her people to de- ve1op the national resources and trade?

 it will be the last official act of this | venerable prelate assisted by the
 Archbishop of York and the Dean of 1 Westminster. The choir, which has been rehearsing for several weeks. | has been drawn from the finest chor- | isters throughout Britain, and the | music will be of a character unequa1I-

 will be actually in the sanctuary. The 1 King - who will give his daughter l away-will be on one side of the bri-
 dal couple, together with the Queen. | brothers and other near relatives 1 together with one or two high court | officials.

Ladies Will wear evening dress, with jewels and taras; and men not in uniform will wear court dress. with swords and black silk knee brooches. Direc- tions as to dress will be r<inted on the invitation cards. The latter will be printed on large white cards, with the royal arms in gold at the top.
 The service will follow the lines of the English Prayer Book. including the promise to obey and the only alteration will be that the exhorta- ton will be slightly less crude than the version ordinarily in use. The entire ceremony will occupy about 45 minutes. When 1t Is over the bride and the bridegroom will drive back by way of Whitehall-where the great Government offices will be al most hidden by hunting-and the Mall to Buckingham Palace, where the wedding reception will be held.
 Only comparatively few, including intimate friends and representatives of foreign countries. will be present at this reception The great gather ing will be hegd by the King and Queen on the following day.
 One quaint incident will mark the proceedings at the Abbey.
