SUNSHINE
A little bit of sunshine,
A sprig or spray of cheer,
Do more to help the weary
Than a frown or gloomy tear.

A sprig or spray of cheer,
Do more to help the weary
Than frown or gloomy tear.
When your heart is hanging heavy,
Filled with thoughts quite dark or
sad,
A little bit of sunshine
Does much to make it glad.
When the day is long and tiresome
And the sky is. bleak and gray,
A little bit of smiling
Makes the whole world seem more
gay.
The birds will MARBLE sweeter,
The sun CLOVIS golden hue,
Your task of life grows lighter
And the skies have turned to blue.
The thunder roars in the heavens,
Oh, threatening, menacing sound!
The trumpet announcing the coming
OF torrent to cover the ground.
But after the storm comes the sun
shine,
The soil is washed sweet and
clean,
And cleaning o'erhead in the azure
sky
A sparkling rainbow is seen.

Sure Way To

Coughing is usually due to causes
which patent medicines and cough
syrups do not reach. However,

Ecggs TO Use Field
Two air lines already have made
arrangements to use the new field,
Simon stated One of these is the
Nevada Airlines, Inc, Of which G.
Ray Boggs of the Gold Ace Mines
is president and which company
was recently granted a franchise to
run an air line from Reno to Las
Vegas.
One thing that has kept this COM
pany from beginning regular opera
tinns from here to Reno has been
lack of good landing facilities here.
The present field, mile and a frac-
ton south of the city, is not really
an airport, but only a plat of land
on which Leigh Hunt, owner, has
graciously permitted the landing Of
planes for several years.
The other company which has
spoken for the privilege of landing
on the projected field will operate
planes from Vegas to Los Angeles
according to Simon. who refused to
divulge the name of the company at
the present time.
VIII Invite Express
Naturally Western Air Express
will be privileged to use the field if
it so desires, said Simon, and if that
concern desires to lease platS Of land
at the airport for the construction
OF stations and hangers that matter
will be taken up.
The location of the airport will be
half a mile to the east of the Salt
Lake City highway and seven and a
half miles from town. The land is
hardpan with layer of soft earth
and the runways 900 feet by 200,
will be oiled according to Simon.
Contract for the drilling of well
at the field site has been let TO A.
c. Derrick, who will start the sink
ing of the well soon, it is believed.
"Planers Coming"
A party OF four specialists will
arrive Sunday or Monday mot later
than Tuesday, % start plans for
the port, Simon said yesterday.
They are:
c. Ray Boggs; Capt. Roscoe Tur-
ner of Los Angeles, also of the Ne
vada Airlines Il. D. Fish, airport
engineer of the Gilmore Oil Com
pany Of Los Angeles who has help
ed plan and establish many airports
in the west, and Larry Cooper avi-
alton engineer of the Texas Com
pany
a hangar with capacity to house
six ships will be built by the owners.
also ticket office and waiting room
and a soda and lunch room. There
will be lawns and the place will be,
artistically laid out and beautified
it is stated.
Taxi Service Planed
There will be taxi service to meet
regular air lines.
Most modern equipment will be
installed, including electrical gas
dispensers, flood, spot and beacon
lights, and other equipment.
Simon has been trying for months
TO perfect some sort Of arrangement
with the city whereby an airport
could be built by himself and the
city, to be used as a municipal
field. These efforts however, have
been unsuccessful; hence the present
organization.
