They, are . much like the man who shaves Regularly but nver blacks his boots. In some parts of the city branches of shade trees are hanging so low over the sidewalks that it is almost imoossible for a, person of ordinary height to walk under them erect. In other parts, weeds of every known and unknown variety make the ditchbanks unsightly. Conditions of this kind give the whole neighborhood a discouraged atmosphere. If one man keeps his surroundings slovenly others with an inclination of untidiness feel that they can do the same, while those who would like to clean ud feel it is not much use as there is so much disorder around Ever heard of Bread Tickets?

Wildcatting . -- jsjiphrase.Whichis-rauc- h abused; It is a phrase which, has developed with the oil' industry. The individual or company that f seeks toil in new places is referred to as a wild- and in referring to wildcatting the become too commdn af speaking of has practice in Blighting terms. There is .no question but that much money has been lost in wildcatting ventures, and there have undoubtedly been crooked companies ,. who have taken the investors money for wildcatting just as there have been crooked com- panies in any other lines of activity. However, with the present high efficiency, of the State Securities Commission, wildcatting has been re--' fiUced to its minimum in Utah. But the fact remains that if it were not for we would not have oil for our vrildcatting needs today. The high price for crude oil dur ' ing the past year encouraged wildcatting in 'nany new localities, and as a result we have wells today in sections of the country , vhich never dreamed of oil a, year or two ago. An honest wildcater is a public benefactor, and instead of misconstruing the term which is applied to him, the public should understand that it is these pioneers in any industry, and particularly the oil and mining industries, who are . chiefly responsible for the wealth and development of our western states today. catter, it - V them.

The prohibition enforcement agent, for New ngland recently, declared that he had received )ribe offers totalling $1,000,000. - A large number of men whom he described as dirty curs, some of them wealthy, had at various times offered him easy money, as compensation if he would overlook their attemps to smuggle liquor. As a further demonstration of their .low cowardice, they had threatened his life.. This charge will make tjie country take notice. No doubt prohibition agents elsewhere have had similar experf J iences. The great majority of the American people want the law enforced. If a law is bad, enforcement helps get it amended, and if it is good, it should be enforced anyway. If violation of one law is tolerated it throws contempt on the whole system of government The great majority of the people believed in national prohibition, or it could never have secured ratification by 45 If - NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Great Comedy Hit Made Farnwi byWI lie oilier la Scheduled for Chautauqua, Patrons oa Fifth Night T -- states. ! .
