"Proclaim Liberty " through all the land" The Liberty Belly Those who are governed "The power to tax Is the "; ' Frontier Spirit Lives On The cruel weaher of the present winter has produced many stories of courage in the face of pitiless cold and mountains of snow. In Montana two boys, Paul La Rocque, 13, and Martin Debray, 19, trudged 60 miles through deep snow in bitter weather for medical assistance for La Rocque's mother. In South Dakota's Black Hills the Hight brothers, piloting small planes mounted on skis flew through blinding storms to deliver food and fuel to snowbound communities, to care for the sick, and to carry mail. In Other parts of the country, "mercy" flyers and rescue expeditions braved temperatures as low as 46 below zero, to save lives and livestock. From the high seas came dramatic stories; and. to read them is to feel a sense of pride in the valiant spirit that still characterizes America. . We are glad that there is only occasional call for such courage but it is also good to know that when there is need of it, the spirit of the frontier survives. Two Continents at Peace Each mother, father, or wife who has some loved one who would be fit fodder for the appetite of war should back President Roosevelt to the limit in his plea for a conference to bring lasting peace to South America. One of our greatest natural blessings is the barrier of water that separates the two continents of the west from war-torn Europe and Asia, where the hate of the centuries never dies down, but smoulders continually, breaking out every few years into the flames of war. President Roosevelt has asked that the impetuous nations na-tions to the south meet to make a pact for lasting peace. He feels that the tragedy of the Gran Chaco war between Bolivia Bo-livia and Paraguay should be such an example of the cruel and senseless waste of war as would make all nations willing will-ing to forswear such conflicts forever. What was the Gran Chaco war? Our North American papers carried a few bulletins on it: "10,000 Bolivians Killed." "Paraguay Forces Slaughter 3,000 Men." Such were the brief notices. They did not tell the story of men dying like flies, amid bullets and the horrors of steaming jungles. They did not tell of families robbed of fathers and sons; of two nations bled white of their finest men men who were whipped into the conflict by hired European officers. The results of the tvar were inconclusive. Neither nation won; they fought until each side had exhausted its resources in wealth and men. The danger to us is remote; but just as wars spread over the continents of Europe and Asia, so could they spread over our western world. Roosevelt believes in striking while the iron is hot. While South America still realizes the futility of the Chaco disaster, our president would move to promote international friendship in our half of the globe. May his plan succeed ! FRUIT INDUSTRY IS THREATENED "How Utah can save its fruit business" is the paramount question quest-ion today, in the opinion of Professor Pro-fessor Francis M. Coe. associated horticulturist, Utah agricultural experiment station, and secretary of the state horticultural society. "Utah at one trme grew the finest fin-est peaches, apricots and cherries and made money doing so," Professor Pro-fessor Coe said. "In pre-depression days, Utah's friut crop brought two to three million dollars a year, but now, due to pests, drought and low prices thi figure u&s been reduced re-duced a number of times. Drought and neglect have seriously reduced This Curious YOU CANNOT SEE I TilRH7 YOUfZ EVES IN THEIR 6OC KETS least are governed best. power to destroy." Thomas Jefferson. the productive power of our present pres-ent orchards." Ignorance of the best methods of orchard management, including spraying, tillage and pruning are responsible for much of the low yields, quality, and returns. Most of these handicaps could have been remedied by application of knowledge within reach of every fruit grower; by the choice of location, lo-cation, spacing, nursery stock, planting, and early care of the young trees," Professor Coe pointed point-ed out. This information is free to anyone any-one who will send to the United States department of agriculture cr the state experiment station. The horticultural society's convention con-vention will be held this year at the Hotel Utah, March 7. Every fruit grower is invited to attend, Professor Coe announced.

Subscriber-Writes About Utah Lake Editor Herald: What is Utah lake to Provo and Utah County? Before it was wantonly pumped pump-ed almost dry for the value of a few tons of hay to Salt Lake county, it brought to Provo and Utah county millions of money and employment to many of our citizens.

I do not think the citizens of the county would have raised much objections even if we lost out. Up to date the farmers bordering bor-dering on Utah Lake have had to defend themselves in court at a great expense. I have a sweet recollection of being in company with other farmers entering suit against the canal companies of Salt Lake county for damages backing the waters of the lake above the compromise level. We got judgement for $18,000 and our attorney kept the money and we held the sack. Will history repeat itself? And will our commissioners serve us as of old ?

"Paula's a sweet girl to try to help you give an air to this place. But lovely things like these simply won't harmonize with the sort ot furniture you have. You'll have to get rid of it. Dana." "You mean the tapestry?" There was hope in Dana's voice. "No. The furniture'." "But I couldn't. It comes with the apartment. And we can't afford to buy furniture now anyhow."

We can buy one big comfortable comfort-able chair, which is all we need between us." And so ended the first quarrel. Dana smiled at the thought. It hadn't been a real quarrel. You couldn't quarrel with anybody like Scott, who refused to be unreasonable unreason-able and cross. Who was simply a darling about everything. , Dana assured herself she didn't mind pinching pennies. How could she, living in such a state of dreamy abstraction, so utterly and completely happy? Scott was so devoted, so adoring. Ot course the world would recognize recog-nize him some day for what he was a brllliaut. skillful young physician and surgeon.

Scott sat next to Paula, too, at the end of the table. She looked vivid in a green and gold frock and ber conversation conversa-tion was sparkling. Dana was wearing white the same dress she had worn the night of the party at the Cameron home when she had first danced with Scott.

Marvin Mclntyre. This one involves the political future of Nebraska next November. Liberal Democratic leaders in Nebraska are charging Mclntyre with intervening in behalf of Senator Edward R. Burke, who Is a candidate for national committeeman commit-teeman from the state. The irate Nebraskans claim that despite the president's frequently fre-quently reiterated policy of keeping keep-ing hands off in state politics and Burke's consistent anti-New Deal votes in the senate, Mclntyre is secretlv SDreading the impression that the White House backs him. The hot attack on his secretary vas made directly to the president although by a circuitous route. earing that if they sent their teleeram to the White House it would never reach Roosevelt, Nebraska leaders addressed it to a friendly New Dealer who placed it in his hands. Burke has voted against practically prac-tically everv liberal bill sponsored by the White House, including the president's pet holding company act. Only a week ago he joined the Republicans in opposing the administration's new farm program. pro-gram. Behind Burke's candidacy and Mclntyre's undercover manipulations manipula-tions is Arthur Mullen, lawyer-lobbyist lawyer-lobbyist and former national committeeman com-mitteeman from Nebraska. Since 1933, Mullen has received large fees for representing Big Business in Washington, and was forced to resign from the national nation-al committee because of his lawyer-lobbyist activities. otner coior."

"Get a maid in to help you." Scott suggested. "I don't need any help," Dana assured him. "Cooking for six people Isn't much more trouble than cooking for two." m Brave words. Dana was to recall re-call them later. She decided to serve chicken. She had roasted chicken several times before, and it had been delicious. An aspic salad would be easy to make and always looked nice, with its bright heart nestling in crisp green lev tuce leaves. She would have candied can-died sweet potatoes, asparagus tips, hot rolls from the baker's. And angel food cake with grated pineapple and a dash of whipped cream on it was a fool-proof dessert. des-sert. Dana began preparations for dinner din-ner at an hour which allowed a safe margin for dressing. What happened to the time, what bewitched be-witched the hours was something she was to puzzle over and never find the answer.
