As a boy in his native Norway he was con. verted to religion and started for Utah but landed in Caleuta from where he became a sailor and for twenty years he traversed all the seas of the world. Finally he landed in Ogden where he found his parents who did not know him. But the sister he had loved in childhood, and who he expected to meet, had passed away. He filled a mission to his native country, and now at past 80 he is quietly living out his days and reveling in the memories of his eventful life. 33 1-- 2 W. W.

IN A SUBSCRIPTION Our Western economio system ia 'flagrantly and palpably unscientific. It cannot be Christian because it places a premium on selfish motives, it inflames the acquisitive instinct, tolerates hunger in midst of plenty, and smashes human lives. If this is Godsearth and men are really Hia Child-e- n, it must be a sorry sight to Him to see on one side of the table those who surfeit, and on the other side of the table those who starve."

Nearly all ef them belonged to the great Aryan race whose mission it has been and is to lead and direct humanity. The glorious 20th century, not yet half spent, has more than equaled that and added another 14,000,000 casualties, and given promise of taking that many more lives before it is half gone, . to-lig- ht grief-stricke- n FOR THOROUGH INVESTIGATION Let there be a more thorough investigation of conditions at the State Hospital at Provo.
