A new minister had come to slow
moving, out-of-theway Spruce Hill,
and with his coming had appeared a
spirit of change and improvement.
Among other innovations was the
Easter sermon and church decoration.
The new minister made the announce
ment one Thursday afternoon after
prayer meeting, and added that he
hoped all would be present, and that
the ladies of the church would ar
range for a tasteful and appropriate
decoration.
After service the women stood about
irresolutely, looking at each other with
blank, questioning faces. Il guess

one of them said at last, bluntly. Il

mum, which doesn't bloom; and, be-
sides, I don't know anything about no
decoration, an amt got no time,
either"
'Nor me-" "Nor me-" "Nor me-"
came in rapid succession, and with
evident relief from the other women.
''Oh, come, come; this will never
do" expostulated the minister. Sure
ly each of you can spare little time
from work. And doubtless we can
find few callas and Easter lilies and
narcissus, and perhaps some other

'All the houses in the neighborhoOd

a woman aggressively. "As for Easter

"Who is Mrs. Bray, and where is

A gospel invitation was extended

hour OF the night. Two others came
making the confession OF faith at

TWO PRINCES TO
PLAY COLE GAME
nv The United Press

w ih' tAht'f ''"fHf
Tokyo, March 22.-The Crown
Prince of Japan and the Crown
Prince OF England are all signed up
for the most royal little golf game
ever staged in these parts.
Their twosome will be one Of the
events Of the visit of the Prince of
Wales to Japan, where he will arrive
April Is, from India, to return the
visit Of Hirohito to England.
Hirohito has gone in for golf with
much zest of late, and is said to play
a snappy game. 1t is probable that
this imperial interest in golf will
cause the game to gain in favor
throughout Japan.
Special links for the exclusive use
Of Grown Prince Regent Hirohito and
the Prince Of Wales are being con-
structed in one of the great palace
grounds in Tokyo.
The British residents of this coun-
try are willing to bet all sorts of
real money on Wales-but the
trouble is the scores will very prob
ably not be made public.
The indication is that Officially"
there will be no scores-and no
spectators. The present position Of
the authorities is that it would be
undignified as we'll as undiplomatic
to allow the two crown princes to
break into the sporting pages-or to
admit that either n had bested the
other.

dicates somewhat mistaken view as
TO the cause of sickness among artisans
engaged in such work. However, in
door artists are still to be allowed to
continue their professional work with
out interference as to the composition
of the pigments they may use. and
few other concessions have been
granted. II appears that after the
lapse of the stipulated period, no per-
sons under Is years of age will be per-
mitted to use an Industrial paint con-
tanning white lead or lead sulphate.

explanation of this ruling is not clear

apprentices be exposed to it's i'll eff

paints containing lead can be mixed
from dry ingredients by the painters:

garding their political action and how
to make the influence effective. In the
course Of his address Mr.. Adams said L:
THE Women's National Republican
club sounds good to republican who
believes in our system of government.
Those who have been party men all
their lives are naturally in favor of
women being party women. In our BIZ
party country. perhaps the best thing
for woman is to be republican par
tisan; the second best thing, a demo-
cratic partisan; and about the poorest
thing she can do, politically is to be
bipartisan or woman partisan.
There is about as much logic in the
women forming a political party of
their own as in having the green eyed,
OF the red haired. or the bald headed
people set themselves up as q political
party Every time we learn of the
organization of a woman's republican
club or a wOman's democratic club.
either one, we think the women are
going to justify our confidence. that
when they got their political rights
they would recognize their political re-

better Americans, and they would
much rather have the women become /
democrats than to have them organ

DAWN OF BETTER DAYS.
New York Tribune.)


In many lands conditions are still
bad, but there is less talk of trying to
make them more endurable by further
destruction. Bell-ringing is not yet
the fashion, but there is more whole
some, humble acceptance of circum-
stances as they are. Less reliance is
placed on dreams and more on work.
Mere discomfort is no longer deified
and there is a subsistence of vain at
tempts to create a world in which two
and two make five rather than four.
We bow our heads to rule that change
must come slowly if it is not to be a
curse. The cult of revolution is losing
vogue and evolution reasserts its
claims. So the curve is upward again.
Feet are again planted on the upward
trail. The great work of Cancellation
goes forward not only in the field OF
internal politics but even more vitality
in industry. Detritus has accumulated
which must bepainfully removed. but
at last we are at the great work. The
dawn which now sends forward its
bespeaks in no uncertain
way the early coming of a time OF
and joy.

COPPER MINE RESUMPTION.

No news has come over the wires in
many a day that contained as much
good cheer for Salt Lake as did a dis
patch announcing thta the great cop
per and zinc mines of Montana are to
resume operation. says Desert News.
Like Montana, Utah depends to a
large degree on the mining industry
to supply the financial blood for her
arteries of commerce. and the reduced
business vitality incident to the pres
ent suspension of operations in our
great copper properties has served to
emphasize sharply the importance Of
mining to the commercial life of the
state
Conditions in the Montana mining
properties are greatly similar to those
faced by the industry in Utah; and if
the Montana operations are to resume.
it is probably a safe assumption that
work will soon be commenced in the
Utah Copper company and other Utah
properties.
But even if that happy day should be
somewhat delayed. the activity in
Butte will serve to restore confidence
among Utah business men and relieve
the prevalent feeling of depression. |
Surely it will be a happier New Year /
with the prospect of Utah mining re-
in sight.
