It places wrong construction construc-tion on what has happened and denies de-nies absolutely any faith in or hope for the future. The pessimist it never hnpjty. What Is more, he gives the ri of as a pain la th neck. C.rir. One of the most educational treats that has ever before bees held In Lehl, wa 'held here Sat urday evening in the Memorial building. A large jgroup of pout trymen attended the meeting and received noma very beneficial in Btructions- Professor Ewlngr and Dr. Cliff D. Carpenter of California, were the epeakers- They Rave illustrated lectures on their respective sub jects. Prof. Ewing, who is the representative repre-sentative of the Nopco Cod Liver Oil Company, that furnishes the oil uHed in the mashes of the Utah Poultry Association, gave infer matlon on experiments made, showing show-ing the Importance of Cod Liver Oil in feed for chickens. Dr. Carpenter's lecture centered on poultry diseases. Very valuable Information was given to the poul-trymen poul-trymen present. All of them pronounced pro-nounced It one of the best lectures on chicken diseases that they have ever had the opportunity of hearing- Dr. Carpenter is a graduate of the Cornell University and is associated associ-ated with Dr. J. R. Beach of the State University of California, BUT AT MOlf Third Ward Scouts Participate In Annual Jamboree Thirty-six scouts were registered at the annual jamboree of Troop 3 held Monday evening in the Third Ward chapel, this including twenty-two twenty-two scouts and fourteen vanguards. The Jamboree, planned under the direction of the Troop Committee of the ward, proved to be the most successful one ever held before in the ward. The boys and their fathers participated in sports and stunts of every nature, having the time of their lives. Fourteen new scouts were initiated initi-ated into the troop under the direction di-rection of Arnold Brems. Clever games and stunts were carried out under the direction of Eldred Fox, assistant scoutmaster, and Howard Ricks, Vanguard leader. Lee Wardle was in churge of the refreshments-Wives refreshments-Wives of the troop committee served the luncheon, the investure ceremony was carried out under Bishop William Hadfield'g direction. direc-tion. : The troop and committee were completely organized- and a very successful ysar of scouting is looked look-ed forward to In the Third Ward- Following are the new scouts entering: Wayne Barnes, Lynn Barnes, Russell Bone, Tavlor Wardle.

Denn Price, Donald Coates, Ercell Carter and Clydo Trinnaman- The Vanguard troop includes a group of boys, just older than the scouts. , BUT AT BOSS i . Junior High Operetta Praised Comments from many citizens have been heard, concerning the Operetta, "Bits of Blarney," presented pre-sented by students of the Junior High School, last Thursday afternoon after-noon and evening in the High School Auditorium. The play had a clever little plot, and was charmingly carried out with dancing and chorus numbers. The cast including, Barbara Knight. Leo Hadfield, Stewart Kittinger, Jean Fowler, Sterling Evans, Luclle Winterton and Arlene Alfred, did remarkable work and portrayed their respective roles very intelligently. intelli-gently. Everyone who attended was ex- jceptlonally delighted with the pro duction. Mr- Anderson, the director, direct-or, deserves praise for the capable way in which the entertainment ws carried out. All adults were .admitted free to the evening per- forma nee. PREPARATION OF A HOTBED At this time of the year when we get a few warm days, we feel like getting out Into the field or garden and working in the land which has been frozen since last fall. It would be Ideal if tlie weather would stay warm night and day after it starts, but mother nature "is not that way and we have to prepare and get some of the plants which wUl not mature during the short growing period, to growing in hotbeds where the tender plants ean be protected. Tiey can then be transplanted in the field or garden when the weather weath-er conditions Justify. . The hotbed performs two functions: func-tions: 1. It lengthens the growing and makes possible the culture of long-season tender crops. 2. Short-season Short-season hardy crops can be matured several weeks earlier If the plants are started in the hotbeds. Succes -with hotbeds is easily at tained, but it depends on several Important factors. The location of the hotbed to very Important The total labor required after the bed is established is slight, but frequent attention for a few minutes at a time positively essential for suc cess. For this reason the best site for A hotbed Is at some place near a frequently traveled path. The value of such a location will be greatly improved If there Is some protection on the north and east, such as barns, sheds or trees. Tall trees or buildings on the south and west will lnterefere with the Bun-llght Bun-llght and should be avoided. There are two general types of hotbeds. The pit type and the pile type. In the pit type the manure and soil are placed in a pit and the hotbed frame built over it. In the pile type the hotbed Is placed on the flat top of a pile of manure. The pit type is more convenient, gives better protection and requires leas manure and is recommended for ail locations wtiere the soil drainage is good. Which ever system sys-tem is used a frame Is needed to enclose the soil and to retain the heart. The frame should be tight enough to keep cold winds out and retain the heat. Banking around the outside of the frame with soil or manure will help in accomplish ing this. Glazed hotbed sash should be used to cover the beds. Although muslin covers are frequently used for this purpose. The glazed sasi is more expensive but may prove to be less expensive In the long run. The hotbed must have some source of artificial heat. This heat Is generally obtained from fermenting animal manure. Horse manure with plenty of Utter gives the best results. Cow manure heats too slowly, and poultry and sheep manure ma-nure heats too rapidly. A mixture of one-half straw and one-half horse manure Is best. It Is better to apply the straw as Utter in the stable to absorb the urine, although al-though it may be mixed in the pile. The care given to the preparation of the manure determines to a great extent the success of the hotbed. Too often fresh manure has been used in preparing hotbeds and the seeds planted before the manure has reached its highest heat. Two harmful results are likely to occur under these conditions; 1. At the point of greatest heat of the ma nure, the temperature may be high enough to kill seeds, and 2. Ammonia Am-monia may be liberated in sufficient quantities to kill germinating seeds and young plants. To avoid these conditions the manure should be obtained about two weeks before the bed Is to be made. It should be stacked in a straight sided flat-topped flat-topped pile and allowed to heat. When it has heated for a few days the pile should be turned so ttiat the outside of the first pile becomes the inside of the second pile from burning out; it also insures manure which will give uniform heat in ail parts of the bed. When the preparation has been completed the manure should be spread evenly in the hotbed pit and tamped in lightly. There is danger of packing it too tightly. If it is not placed In evenly and tamped lightly the soil will settle unevenly and make the bed hard to irrigate. About 18 inches of manure is sufficient suf-ficient for all purposes. About six inches of good garden loam or of composted soil should be applied evenly over the manure. Tomatoes, peppers and egg plants should be planted about one-fourth to one-half one-half inch deep. Best results can be obtained. by planting in rows. It is necessary to keep the surface of the soil moist during the germina tion period. Further information, if desired, may be obtained at the extension office of the Agricultural College. "FARM LABOR AND WAGE OUTLOOK" "The 1932 supply of labor for farm work la expected to be abundant," abund-ant," says U. S. D, A., even though r IHANGHAL Well all I know Ifl jut what I read la the papers, and what X tea here and there. Now Just looklnr out of V5I! " i the window. am traveling from Peking (Peiping) all- sameplacee, to Shanghai, by way ot Nanking. (Nanking la the Capitol ot China, that is It was. You see there Is a place called Canton. Canton Is where all the Americanized American-ized Chinamen come from, and they have taken the Government of Nanking oyer. They are the real Trouble raisers of Canton, that Is I mean they are the progressive ones. They want always to be stirring something up. Well the Nanking Government have fallen and the Canton crowd Is In the saddle. But that hasent anything to do with this trip by Train from Peking, the old Capitol, ind by far the most interesting town in China. Well I was to have flown down, that flown is a pretty big word, maby I better make that flew, I was to have flewen down, but there Is a bear of a Snow storm here and there wont be any Planes for days, so I had much against my will to take a Train. Its not a bad train. Its not an extra good train. They have these Wagon Lita cars. Know what Is the Wagon Llts? Well Its a French contraption where you sleep cockeyed of the way the train is going. There Is a little aisle along the side of the train and then some little Compartments, sometimes there Is beds for two and sometimes there is beds for 4 In them. I wanted one alone so I had to pay more, to keep somebody some-body from sleeping with me, or over me or under me. Well I hear some people In the next compartment speaking English Eng-lish or something like it, so that dont seem so bad. We are to be on this Rattler two days and two nights, thats If Its on time. This Is the line where the Students have been laying on the line and obstructing ob-structing the traffic, you mast have read about that. Well Its a terrible night and it any of them are laying out there tonight, they deserve to have a mln not see em. You cant beat education tor foolishness. They hare been going down to Nanking to see the 'Members of the Government. Govern-ment. They beat up two or three. Alnt that a mess! Imagine Notre Dame going te Washington to beat np Senator Borah, or Yale laying on the track to keep a train from getting to Harvard. There has always been a problem, "Does education pay?" Yes, It does. It you got a sense of humor, yoa got to pay for your laughs at s Show, so why not at school. There is sure a lot of Chinese on here, most of them In the second sec-ond and third class cars. But they are like Mexicans, they sure do love to travel, and eat as they go. Every Station we stop at, they are hollering and yowling till It sounds like a Football Game, and of all the queer junk they sell to eat, they have little Charcoal stoves they have it cooking right there before you. Everything Is done with Chop sticks, and say these old boys can do more with a pair of them than Bobby Jones can with a Putter. Some of these Chinese Girls are mighty pretty, they are prettier than the Japanese. Here is a bunch of Students. My friend next door, a Mr. Furgeson, an American that has been here Just 47 years, he is giving me all the dope, he says the students are taking up a collection col-lection for General Gen-eral "Ma" to "mil uie japs.

" BUT AT BOMS Cradle of Icebergs on Greenland West Coast The world holds few more awe-Insplring awe-Insplring spectacles than the movement move-ment of Icebergs out of Jacobshavn fjord, into Disco bay, on the west coast of Greenland. Jacobshavn glacier is the world's greatest mother moth-er of Icebergs, the experts claim. On the average, It calves more than 1,350 bergs each year. The Jacobshavn Jacobs-havn fjord is a giant trough in the solid rock, four miles wide and running run-ning back inland fifteen miles, between be-tween high precipitous walls, to the front of the glacier. When the Investigators In-vestigators ran the prow of their little craft into the mouth of the fjord, they were met by an impassable impass-able wall of bergs. The hunters made their way afoot to the top of the rocky bank. As far as eye could see In the fjord, Icebergs were packed tightly, row on row, a breath-taking aggregation of white pinnacles and domes. They estimated that the great rock-walled trough held between 4,000 and 6,000 bergs. The movement of the bergs is not a steady march. Most of the year they He there, packing In tighter and tighter. About once a month they move. Popular Mechanics Magazine., Judges' Charges Short but Much to the Point American love of "wisecracks" extends even to the judicial bench, and a Pennsylvanian magistrate received re-ceived commendation for what is claimed to be the shortest summing-up summing-up on record: "The ham was there, the prisoner was there. The ham was gone, the prisoner was gone." For lucidity as well as brevity that certainly will take some beating, but some of our own judges have run it pretty close, writes a columnist col-umnist in the Manchester (England) Guardian. The late Justice Cave, in a case where there had been much hard swearing on both sides, addressed the Jury : "Gentlemen, one side or the other Is telling lies. Perhaps Per-haps you can tell which it is. I cannot" Lord St Helier, too, once delivered his charge to the jury in a divorce suit in two brief sentences: sen-tences: "If the husband were the brute his wife says he was, she is well rid of him. If he is the saint he makes himself out to be, he is far too good for any woman." Politeness Personified Our recent anecdote about the child who rendered the second line of the Lord's Prayer: "Hollywood be thy name," has brought to us from Mrs. C. M. R. a story which is new to us If not to all of our readers: A little girl from Boston whose name was Halliwell was spending the night with the Cabots. She knelt at Mrs. Cabot's knee to say her evening eve-ning prayer. "Our Father who art in heaven," the little one began devoutly, "Cabot be thy name." "What? That Is not right, dear!" said the startled lady. "Oh," said the child, "of course at home I say 'Halliwell be thy name, but here I thought it more polite to say 'Cabot.' "Boston Transcript. Gems Long Prized The aquamarine is among the oldest old-est of gems. It is simply a transparent trans-parent variety of beryl, tropically a bluish green color. Hence the name, meaning "sea water." The emerald Is another variety of beryl, a stone which, in Its various tints, was much prized by the ancients. There are many Greek Intaglios of these gems, displaying the finest workmanship. The beryl was one of the stones of the breastplate of the Jewish high priest, and the Roman Jewelers, who put It to a number of purposes, anticipated one of the popular modern uses of the aquamarine aquama-rine by making "ear pendants of It MONEY Extra spending money can be had by e. vicinity by using CLASSIFIED Lehi and paper now.

At High Wycombe the mayor has to undergo a kind of "weighing in" ceremony. He proceeds to the weights and measures department of his borough with his alderman and councilors, and there, with due solemnity, each member of the council is weighed. Their weights are entered faithfully in the civic records. . The new mayor of Lincoln, and at several other places, has a ring placed upon his finger.
