Maps of the world showing the location of mission head quarters as well as a map of the United States upon which were placed the photographs of the mission presidents of North America are interesting missionary exhibits. Nearly all the present foreign mis sions are treated in brief, illustrated articles by elders who are at present in the various mission fields and in addition Waldo Osmond presents a picture of the Salt Lake City Mission home in which Elders are trained for two weeks before they leave for their respective mssion fields. Elder David 0. McKay, a member of the Council of the Twelve of the L. D. S. Church is the subject of the article contributed by Bryant S. Hinckley, well known western writer. Besides the articles about the missions the magazine contains its regular departments and poetry, Edgar M. Jenson, a Utah artist, is responsible for the frontispiece which is described in a poem by Stella P. Rich. The May cover is unusually attractive. It shows a flock of gulls flying against a blue sky. It was designed by Faul S. Clowes, well known Western artist Darrell Wadsworth received broken bone in both wrists Saturday when he fell from the steps of his fraternity home in Logan. Mr. Wadsworth was standing on the top step with back towards the steps when he, in some manner, became over balanced and fell backwards, throwing his hands under him in an effort to protect himself, the impact breaking his wrists as above stated. Whjle the injuries are painful and serious yet Mr. Wadswarth feels fortunate that he was not more seriously injured as the fall was a distance of 1G feet. His injured limbs are mending satisfactorily but he will be unable to return to school. W.C.T.U.

One of the largest attended and most successful quarterly conferences of the Bear River Stake was held Sat- urday and Sunday, with Elder Joseph F. Merrill, L. D. S. Commissioner of Education and member of the twelva apostles, in attendance. Part of tne time of the sessions were devoted to the priesthood, Sunday school and Junior seminary or ganizations. These departments of tht church were represented by many o the talented young people in these organizations who did themselves proud in the presentation of addresses and music. Many of the Junior seminary boys and girls received promotion cer tificates. In the opening remarks by President C. E. Smith, he read reports from the Presiding Bishoprics office, showing the high standing of this stake with respect to priesthood activities and attendance to meetings. The rating ranged from 3rd to 7th out of 104 stakes within the church. The president urged a continuance and a devotion to the obligations and duties: of the Latter Day Saints, and expressed his appreciation for the loyalty of the members of the stake. Elder Merrill devoted much of his time to doctrinal subjects, including tithing, observance of the Word ot Wisdom and in Conclusion read two or three paragraphs from the Christmas message from the First Presidency, wherein they set forth theit views with respect to overcoming the present economic depression, the substance of which was unselfishness, doing away with greed and oppression and turning to the Lord. Former President Milton H. Well-inand Secretary of State, was present at the conference and in his address reviewed the early history of Utah, outlining the economic instructions and laws given 81 years ago by President Brigham Young, which he declared were most applicable today, and if rigidly followed would end the economic crisis in this state. That doctrine was home manufacture and home purchase of the natural resources of this commonwealth. President K. H. Fridal told of the early experiences of some of the residents of this valley, referring particularly of the honored mothers that were upon the stand, the oldest from, each ward, and who were presented carnations by the Sunday School Stake Board. The music and singing of the choir was exceptional and outstanding and received high praise from the presiding authorities of the conference. Sunday evening, according to official count, 1409 people attended the graduating exercises of the seminary class numbering 125 pupils. The meeting was in charge of Principal W. W. Richards, of the Seminary, and the program, with the exception of brief remarks from President Smith and Elder Merrill, was given by members of the class, including the music. The quality of the exercises can best be judged by quoting Elder Merrill, Commissioner of Education, in his remarks at the conclusion of the program when he said, "It is the best arranged, the most orderly and the finest program of its kind I have ever attended." Present at the exercises aside from the visiting authorities named above, were, Superintendent C. H. Skidmore, Principal Hinkley, of the Box Elder High; Bishop Parry, from Washakie; Bishop Osey Jensen, of the Bear River Ward and others, who occupied places on the stand. g, Elementary Schools Exercises Friday Closing evercises of the elementary schools will be held at the Bear RivTremonton er High School auditorium, Friday at 10 a. m. with the following program: Lawrence Homer of the Tremonton Community singing 'America", inSchool won third place. vocation; "Home Builders", primary Mrs. P.
