GAISFORD, JR - EDITOR c FROM "LOG HOUSE' TO "WHITEHOUSE" WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN i ABRAHAM L1N(X)LN was a typical American, lit: did not cry for opportunity. lie accepted as his opportunity the simple materials mater-ials Ood placed in his hands, and he hewed success out of them. Many another American has done the same thing. .Many a man and woman who is NOW looking for opportunity can find it in the same way. Lincoln s educational library was composed oi the Uiole and the Dictionary a solid foundation today for any person career. tOne of the most eloquent lawyers this country ever produce owes his power of eloquence to the simple fact that years ago he was A I 1 I Ka minit.tailK.Af i i . ! . 1 1 W t K liYir Kilt wiuier-uuuuu m it um in mc uiuiunaui.' vi vuiuiauu vnt-, Webster's Dictionary for a companion. Thru the long hours of the weeks and months he studied Webster's Dictionary to divert his mind from monotony, -- Webster'. Dictionary became a passion with him, he learned its pagesi by heart. And when Snrinsr and relief oanie, he found himself such nnultr nf wnrdu that he is able to swav the multitude with his eloauenee. Too many men want to start at the top. They want to build the tower before they build the foundation. They are all front door; when you open the door you find yourself in the back yard. Rather should they who seek a place in the sun. like the great Lincoln, use the simple materials they have at hand to fashion for themselves reputation. .very American is born m a Log House of Opportunity; every American way achieve a White House of Success. LEGISLATURE SHOULD PASS BILL REQUIRING FRANCHISE FOR TRUCK LINES There are numerous good reasons why Senate Bill No. :12. by Senator Peters of Box Elder county, should be passed. The lill. in a nuUrhelU tequires that any truck line, passenger or freight, should secure franchises from cities, towns and the counties through which it operate before applying to th State Utilities Commission for a certificate of convenience and necessity. J There are now many truck lines operating iuile state that in our opinion are detejriniental to the counties. Take for instance the freight line operating in Utah county. From (our toi ten trips are made over the highway each day with tremendous loads by these trucks. They hate conrerted our million dollar hard surface road into a vertible freight line and pay practically nothing directly into the county" for - its use. " , They are directlyjn competition with the-three. railroads which traverse the county al which pajra large percentage of taxes to . . A .. . ill.. maintain the counties, cities and luiikt stien improvements s me highway. - We cannot see a single reason for allowing such condition to exist and feel that every citizen should use the means in his power to correct the matter. Courtesy, reverence, a Jove of the great outdoors, out-doors, self-reliance and the capacity to stand hardships are among the many lesson the Scouts are taught. The character training these hoys getto stand like men in the face of temptation wijl benefit them all through life. In building character there is nothing finer than to encourage and practice THRIFT. Let every Scout do his country and himself a .'.'good turn daily" by dropping some small coin into his home savings bank. "The habit of saving- fosters every virtue, teaches self -denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought and so broadens the mind." Hunger.

PIGS A boy in South Carolina writes to .the V. S. Department of Agriculture: . , . "Five years ago 1 joined a pig club. I had a pure;bred pig, then eight week old. Since that time she has farrowed about 100' pigs. She paid for my clothes three years in high school and gave me spending spend-ing money also. I am now in my second year in college and she is still doing the same." He didn't mean the pig had entered college. He meant he realized real-ized when he had a "good thing." The fabulous goose of golden egg fame had not a thing op this porker. EMANCIPATOR An all-wise Creator looked down upon his people and saw them, half slave, and half free. In His infinite wisdom. He saw that this earthly condition could best be' remedied through the influence of a Human, loved and respected re-spected of his countrymen- Sq He sent us Abraham Lincoln. ' . " Your Stomach Will Appreciate Argument Favoring Pool Hall ( j ... J j ) TRY , - IT NOW Royal Baking Co., Salt Lake Dear Editor: In your last ianue some very .pood thought on the pool hall question was' advanced by Brother S. L. Chlpman.' but I feel that there la t wo aides to this question and it you will permit nie I 'would like to use a little of youi valuable apace. I wholly agree with Brother Cfalp-raan Cfalp-raan that pool haUa are not the moat desirable placea tor our people and many would not have the time or de aire to frequent them it there ware dozens of them in our city. However, we have not yet reached that even "near perfect" stage and we are going to have a large number of our men and boys frequenting pool balls, card dena and like placea as long as there are men and boys to frequent them, if not here then in some other city or town. It would be a great atep forward for-ward if condition and people could all think as and enjoy the things Brother Chipman has outlined, but I feel that thin Is- coming too near to the "perfect condition" and ia years off yet. Peopa? are aa different as the season's and there is a lung hard Job ahead to bring about a very wide change In them. Granting that there are several glasses of people and that some are going to take the broader and higher plan of life and others are going to spend their time in other ways, poa sibly taking their recreation in play Ing pool, then I feel that the best regulated pool hall the city can have, allow, or what you wish to term it, Is none too good. You will all agree that the present dive, with its card games, pool, Sun day and all-night parties are not the kind of a place to let our young boys liecome accustomed to. Even freH'ient-ers freH'ient-ers of the present club are dlgiinted with the condition prevailing atu! have been heurd to express themselves them-selves to that effect. I, for one, woult favor the opening of a public, bonded and ll-eiisen o 1 hall where officers and clti.em could see whaTTs going op 1 and could have the Sabbath observed at leas:.

Only your own voice yourself preserves the home con tact fully and wholly. Many parents arrange to call their sons or daugh ters at regular weekly intervals, fixing an hour which in truth is the "home hour" for the youngsters young-sters the time when they may be in intimate touch with the folks at home and all the influences influ-ences of the home life. , When the student accomplishes some achievement of moment in his college life or is accorded some special recognition, his first thought is to tell Dad and Mother about it. Encourage him to use Long Distance. Nothing Noth-ing will tie him closer to home and home folks than voice-to-voice contact over the tele phone. Station-to-Station calls are quicker and cost less.
