If he had only Rotten a start In a different locality, and If they had let him take utKenflneerlng Instead of law, or law Instead of medicine, be would hare shewn the world. He Is the Dad who, according to facts and figures, Uvea on the dead level line of ordinary the Dad who has never believed In himself sufficient to rise out of bis rat. " He wastad hta lime at school : never believed In a higher education educa-tion and waa forever In fear that whatever he waa to undertake waa destined to be a failure. Tbe psychologist calla It an "Inferiority "In-feriority complex.'' His neighbors call it laslness. His boy calla it pure cussedBeaa.

H. Chvlar. XXavtr. Cole.) MAY DAY, MOTHER'S DAY, MEMORIAL DAY No other mouth haa been so much written about as "the merry month ot May." It might be called the magic month, for legend and tradition connect many a tale of romance with this last month of spring. Earth and sky seem kindliest then, sunlight never brighter, and all life pushing upward. Strange beliefs have from olden times belonged to the first day of May. Then the maid may find her lover's face in the quietness of hidden pools, and the dew of May Day holds fairy beauty. Around the May Pole laughing children dance, hardly knowing that their festival began as a religious rite, as a dance of thankfulness for life renewed with springtime. Then the end of May and the nation's tribute to its soldier dead. In the great national cemeteries of the land where sleep the dead of three wars, the rpws of graves become a bright stretch of flowers, fresh cut. In remoter places men and women and children pause to remember those who gave life in defense of a country that shelters tlii'iu still. In many a quiet graveyard throughout the land, away from cities and parades the pomp ami ceremony, wherever may be found the grave of one who wore the Hlue or the Gray or the Khaki, flowers rest and prayers ascend. Between May's merry"u'trance and its departure in the tribute and remembrance of Memorial Day conies Mother's Day. The day is worthily chosen, and worthy thrice-over they whose day it is our Mothers. 0 LET THE RADIO DEVELOP NORMALLY The success and the very existence of radio broadcasting depend upon the general public that owns and uses receiving sets. The sending send-ing stations give them the sort of entertainment and instruction they want, or can be educated o want. In this country, the Government interferes with and manages radio much less than in European countries. This; Secretary Hoover holds to be very commendable. He declares himself against any censorship on the broadcasters, except such as can be exercised by the listeners-in through the ordinary legal agencies. It is recognized that all problems of distribution of equipment and broadcasting cannot be solved at once, and care should be taken not to move too fast in establishment of rules. o A MATTER OF INTELLIGENCE Many people never seem to know where they stand on any qnes-tion. qnes-tion. A large number of tlion' who are entitled' to vote fail to exercise exer-cise the privilege. They give as reason that "polities is rotten," when in reality they are just too lazy or indifferent to give the subject intelligent in-telligent and earnest thought. If Ihey would study, conditions -and issues as they should, so that they could vote intelligently, they would have less to grumble about after each election. A LEAGUE RACE Dr. Mayo, of the famous Mayo brothers, say walking is the best exercise that can be taken. Hut with 20.000,000 automobiles in the country walking will soon become one of the "lost arts." DoIUr-a-gallon gas, when it comes, may revive a little fleeting interest in ambulatory am-bulatory indulgence. 1 LI it Your Horn Of Plenty- A Savings Account!

Enroute to Binghampton I stopped a week at New York where I had some interesting experiences at con. ference. street meetings etc. After one session of conference waa over, a woman from the National Reform Association came to me and said am working for the Amalgamation of all churches and having heard what I have today I am convinced that mormonlsm often to the world a solution to the problem ot "Who is right r and I believed her. I am looking forward to some in. teresting times here in Binghampton because a Book of Mormon has been plaud in the hands of every minister in the city by a noo. mormon writer who believes it to be the word of God. The Ministerial Association recently met behind closed doors to decide whether or no it should be accepted aa vuch and we are anil -ouBly awaiting the outcome. The mormon sentiment haa also been c-centrated c-centrated by Billy Sunday who has Just completed a fruitful campaign here- I would like to relate now of my experiences but lest I tire you furth. er I shall wait until I can do so in person. I wish the blessings of our Master upon the Stakes of Zion and especial, ly the Alpine Stake for I am assured you are working under the flag of truth designed by Christ and God and unfurled anew In this glorious dispensation.

After we had been In the own a couple of months we found so many friends with whom we make evening visits that we were unable to accept all the Invitations. The Lord certainly blessed us in our labors and, the town seemed to be fully ripe for the harvest. The Elders who are now stationed there have promise of several baptisms in the near future. I have thorougly enjoyed the short time I have spent In Kvansvflle. Many of the people are 'prejudiced, but still we are having considerable success in our work. We have qolte a large and thriving branch here and consider ourselves especially fortunate fortun-ate in having a chapel of our own In which to meet. This Is 4he only 'Mormon" meeting houe In the southern half of Indiana. Perhaps I should modify this statement, be cause a good many years ago, a chapel wss built in a little country settle ment near Bloonilntfon. WTien It wa first built there were a good many members In that vicinity. They hare nearly atl moved from thnt sectten so the church Is no longer nsrd There is a flourishing branrh at Indianapolis and one at Terre Haute but they hold their service In ranted halls. The Indianapolis branch Is to have a new chapel this com ins fall. The work in the Southern Indiana Conference Is progressing quite rapidly. rapid-ly. During the winter months, our missionary force was greatly aug mented by the short-term missionar ies. About two months ago there were twenty-five missionaries in the conference. With this number we were able to accomplish a good deal but our force Is now cut down nearly half. In the past. year ifearly sixty converts were baptized Into the fold. We hope to be able to Increase the number this coming year by working work-ing with the friends made by the short term missionaries. " By .doing this we can reap the full benefits ot their labors. The work of the Lord Is growing slowly, but that growth Is sure. The members of the church are Instrumental Instru-mental in bringing a good magy Into the fold.
