There .. is nothing on the horizon so serious as to warrant the check- -' y . ing of logical expansion. We cannot sit idly by and wait for, prices to decline, for if we do we might find ourselves - waiting a long time. Prices did not assume a normal stand- ard until 14 years' after the Civil War, and no one knows what will be the results brought about by the World war.

Amen' e r .- -- GEORGE WASHINGTON nation never tires of honoring the birth of its great--emen. ..Yesterday, brought to ..us the one. hun- -' dred and eighty-eight- h anniversary of the birth of George Washington, and his name was honored in every . section of this broad land. . Washington was able to become first in the hearts of his countrymen because he deserved this distinction, and because of his honor and truth, his wisdom and judgment, he arose' above the intrigues of the selfish and jealous men and the turmoil of party passion and pointed the way to national strength in national righteousness. The acts of no man in public life have been free from criticism, nor has his, character remained unassailed, but fewer of these shafts have been turned on Washington than on other men who such-higave-held positions of, trust. and honor, but they. cannot dim the luster that has gathered around his name or detract from the reverence in which he is held by every patriotic 'American. m r -- ed . - - -- - BITUMINOUS PAVING ASSOCIATION RATES : GETS TEN DAYS POEMS WANTED. - The Utah State Historical society is collecting and compiling all of the available verses and poems written by Utah people in connection with the recent World war.

Of "course Dempsey must ' not expect to go unchallenged. Such a view is taken in an editorial appearing in the Chica--, go Tribune, which intimates that Dempseys, war record may not have been so bad aftre all. Here is what the Tribune says; Jack Dempsey and his manager, Mr. Kearns, are beginning to feel that the American --Legion must be brought to view the war record of the champion in a more favorable light. The members of the Legion are appropriating money to bet on Carpentier and they are breaking Dempseys Heart by proclaiming him a slacker who fought in the shipyards. - that-exce- --0- - A Round of Fact Worth Ten of Theory . ity. - 1,1 "W,,m for-th- gress if we are to reap the benefits of a progressive so let prices increase if they must, but let us meet the ever changing conditions with courage and with activ- ' Utah County Road Problem Next Sunday, February 29. 4 ia the worlds great day of pray- - 4 4.er, directed by the Interchurch 4 World Movement.
