Telephone 365 OGDEN' MUST NOT STAND STILI, The city of Ogden must not aland still. Improvements, both public and private, must go on. It is true that i taxes for the most part are high, but it is not economy to let pavements, sidewalks and curbing deteriorate to jn.,w?tre..y.hwpme a nuisance. miserly indifference is nil wrong, Iwith for the city or the individual. There is an abundance of money in Ogden; the bank statements show it, and the monthly payrolls show it. There is no occasion or excuse for owners of Washington avenue business property being close fisted or pleading poverty. While tax levies are high, valuations are low, when compared with the rental these properties bring their owners. It is the home owner and the merchant who have reason to complain of excessive taxation. The Utah legislature enacted a paving law for the express purpose of enabling property owners to 'repave and improve Washington avenue, and most of the large taxpayers on that avenue petitioned for the law. Now that it is proposed to put this improvement over, it is clearly the duty of the city commission to see that it is done; and The Post endorses their final action in the matter. Ogden is fortunate that she has such public spirited citizens and property owners as Marriner S. E coles, James II. Douglas and Fred M. Nye, who appeared before the city commission Wednesday and insisted that the will of the progressive property owners be carried out. Ogden is the biggest city of its size in the United States; made so by her institutions whi(h draw millions of dollars annually from all over the Rocky Mountain region, the Pacific coast and from far down in Old Mexico. This money is the big factor in keeping Ogden the brightest financial spot in the mtermountain region, and statements of the federal reserve bank are authority for this assertion. The city that stands still, either from a financial or municipal standpoint, is going backward, and Ogden must go forward all along the line. NEXT SUNDAY IS MOTHER'S DAY Mothers day, the second Sunday in May, will be universally observed next Sunday, ay 8. It's an ancient cus- tom and one that should live on. The love of a mother for her child is the strongest, most unselfish love on earth, and the love of a child for the mother is the noblest. Mothers day is one day of the year that mother must be remembered. This remcmberance is either in candy, flowers or even a greeting card. Any gift, no matter how great or how little is a real gift that is enjoyed by mother. My mother, I look in a world full of eyes And I travel a day and a year. But nothing is sweet as tnc memories it i I semi-fina- ls I- Editorial ' Out of more than forty entrants, thirteen girls were selected for the and from this number the judges had great difficulty in selectWe venture ing Miss Ogden, Utah. to say that any one of the thirteen sent to Galveston would bring very favorable notice to this city. The Ogden Post was selected by Willett - Roe, secretary of the Galveston chamber of rommerce and director general of the International Beauty Pageant, to select the representative from this state. Without the assistance of any other publication of the state. The Post accepted the task of selecting the beauty. The response to the call for entries and the interest taken in the presentation of the beauties at the Egyptian theatre last Friday and Saturdayeven-ings and at the City Gardens last Wednesday night shows the absolute popularity and wide circulation of The Ogden Post. that rise In my heart, when I fancy you near. There isn't a mile I haven't your smile To help me in all that I do. And the older I grow, the more surely I know There was never another Friend, sweetheart of mother As much of a pal, dear, as you. ' Emily Huntington Miller in her, The Empty Nest furnishes a beautiful thought of home and mother. The children found an empty nest in the apple tree and have taken it to the young mother, who sitting in deep content, as she fashions some garment. The children bring the empty nest to her: All the birdies have flown away; But birds must fly off, or they wouldn't have wings. And the mother knew they would go some day, When she used to cuddle the downy things. V AMERICA GAINING SUPREMCY IN MERCHANT MARINE The DeMille picture, The Yankee Clipper shown in Ogden recently, gave a historical incident that can be that America is brought gaining the suprecacy of the sea. The picture gave tne episode of America up-to-da- te, defeating England 'for the handling of Chinas tea trade, an incident which occurred' during the early reign of Queen Victoria. This supremey of the sea has returned to United States. During the period of the world war United States had construction a wonderful fleet of ships. Since the war these ships have passed into the hands of various steamship companies.' In the World war the leaders in the mer chant marine in Europe lost their America ships and the supremey. now has that supremey and she .will hold it. A young man from this city who had completed serving a mission in Europe for his church and come home by the way of Asia, said that an American can get all the patriotism and loyalty he wants now on a world tour. Every port one enters they will see two or more great American liners with the stars and stripes floating from the topmost spar, lying majestically at her pier in tne worldi harbors. England and Germany are making an effort to come back and gain their lost merchant marine prestige. Germanys newest ship is called the The ship, which is New 'York." significent of the German effort to restore her commercial fleet, is said to be the last word in luxurious transatlantic travel. It is going to take much tonnage by both Germany and England to keep the supremacy of the sea from America. AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AGAIN URGED TO GIVE AND GIVE It has been more than ten years since the American people have been called to give, and give freely to the cause of the Red Cross. The time is here for immediate action on the part of the people of the United States, to help the citizens residing in the southern portion of the valley through which the Mississippi river wends its way to the Gulf of Mexico. In this great valley through which the Fathers of Waters flows and drains thirty-seve- n states, there exists the most disastrous flood in American history. It is impossible at this time to give any idea of the loss. The lowest estimate at present is over a billion dollars. With the spread of the flood these figures are expected to grow. Ninety thousand acres of land are under ten to fifteen feet of water thousands of homes and farms are inundated and a hundred thousand are homeless. We all know of the good work of the great mother of the mall The Red Cross. We know that with the Red Cross on the job that there will not be hunger, want, pestilence, and death as the result of the flood. We should remember we must do our bit by contributing. As was said during the war, give and give until it hurts and then give. The first response to the Red Cross from Ogden was made by the Speery Flour company which gave 100 barrels of flour to the flood sufferers. The flour was carried to the stricken area by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad without charge. Thats a good start for Ogden, and we will hear of Ogden doing its bit before the drive is over. I repre-Kcntativ-es ? t I .a girl from this city and state was entered in the contest at Galveston, Texas, May 21, 22 and 23. For the past ton days the dispatches Kublished in the daily papers have with stories of the arrival of the candidates from the foreign countries. One of the latest arrivals in the United States is Miss Spain, otherwise known as Marie De Pillar, formerly a $20 a month stenographer at Casa Juana. Barcelona. She was chosen from 30,000 as the most beautiful girl in Spain. , In France, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, England and other countries in Europe as well as in Canada, Cuba and lexico, the greatest interest has ben given to the selection of the from those countries. The representatives of these countries as well as the representatives from the fifty American cities have been chosen from great fields of entrants, shows the interest and enthusiam taken in the contest. ' .. trouble, something about which young Miller would never talk. He tried to die by his own hands, but failed. In the hospital he suffered terrible pain, and he was given morphine to ease that pain. But it was the beginning of the tragedy which meant tne end. He contracted the drug habit. Later he was cured, but it was not long until the habit reached out and had him in its clutches. He could not act. He could not trust himself. Then he went to Mexico to battle the habit and lost. He lost. A brilliant career was ended. A distinguished fathers most cherished ambition and fondest hopes were shattered.
