It is supposed that women are more concerned with It than men, but that may be disputed. Some men have been known to acquire fortunes and other men to obtain positions by reason of the women they have espoused. Whenever the wedding bells ring most people stop to appraise the alliance. It is a curious fact that very few marriages are entirely satisfactory to the relatives of both parties. The whisper goes around that she might have done better, or that he could have found a wife who would have been of more help In his career. In this endless discussion of marriages there Is ground for the suspicion that the democratic United States is a trifle aristocratic after alL When the question of a wife or a husband comes up It is treated as though there were as many gradations of caste In American life as among the 1923 population of India. And yet the federal Constitution forbids titles of That dul leadership must he increased properl to train the h..s aisu girls of the nation who decide to remain on farms and become the bulwark of American agriculture is shown in a survey of the club work of the junior farmers just completed by Benjamin II. Harrow, director of the boys and girls' club work of the Agricultural Foundation. of the Foundation, based on a count by the Deto the report According partment of Agriculture, 722, 40S projects were begun in 1923 by 459,074 boys and girls, a number which is less than 6 per cent of the farm youth of the nation of club age. Of these projects 429,740 were completed by 249,410 club members. Girls completing their work outnumber the boys three to two, there being 150,194 girls and 99,222 boys. The report also indicates that 55.G per cent of the enrolled girls finished their projects, while only 52.9 per cent of the boys completed theirs. The high point reached in 1918, as shown by the accompanying chart, was due to the expansion of club work in connection with Food will win the war. After the crisis was over the slogan of the day: there was retrenchment and club work suffered. Many of the 8,000,000 boys and girls engaged in club work hope to leave the farm, said Darrow, but 80 per cent of them will remain in the country, experience has shown.' All who stay on the farm should have the benefit of the inspiration and training club work affords. If we are to provide this for the junior farmers of the nation, we must rapidly increase the number of county club leaders."

The first Euro- Box 206, pean to lay claim to having discovered the true source was James Bruce. The Scotch explorer believed that the middle one of the three branches, called the Blue Nile, was the true river. It was later discovered that he had been mistaken in his assumptions. The ancients believed that the westernmost branch, called the White Nile, was the true Nile. The ancients were right and Brace was wrong. Many explorers sought to trace the White Nile to its source, but the greatest discovery of all, that the Nile really rises In south latitude and crosses the equator, was made by Captains Grant and Speke, who in 1158 discovered Lake Victoria Nyanza. HEAVY. Birth of Words Where do new words come from! Some, of course, are coined by scien- tists and philosophers, others are lift ed bodily from one language to I t DOZENS OF . I an- other, as, for instance, the French sabotage, now excellent English. Sometimes, too, a word Is coined by a newspaper. For Instance, the word apache," which has now been officially admitted to the French lan guage by a decision of the academy, was invented by the Figaro newspaper 22 years ago, when it used it to describe a Parisian criminal type which has since become famous. Another word which caught on, suffragette, also owes Its existence to the genius of, a newspaper man. This word appeared for the first time in the columns of the Daily Mail. Answers.

A Lady Arabella Johnson Lady Arabella was the daughter of Thomas, earl of Lincoln. She married Isaac Johnson, who left his native land for New England from religious motives. Lady Arabella cheerfully accompanied him, and they arrived at Salem, Mass., In April, 1630. Her exalted character and gentleness gained her universal esteem, but she died in the September following her arrival. Mr. Johnson survived her little more u month. He Is regarded as the ..under of Boston, and though his time was brief, yet the good work he accomplished will never be forgotten by the people of New England.

Chinese hens are laying millions of dozens of eggs to be beaten into American cakes and candies, in spite of the increased height of the tariff wall. Enough Chinese eggs are coming into the United States annually to furnish approximately one dozen for every family. But the Chinese hen does not compete with the American hen in supplying the eggs for the breakfast table. Of the 23,710,000 dozen coming In last year practically all were in the dried or frozen form, according to the k Agricultural Foundation. The American hen cannot be accused of loafing on the job. In addition to furnishing all the eggs needed for American use, she produces a huge surplus for export Last year this surplus amounted to 30,000,000 dozen 6,290,000 dozen more than were imported. The American exports were largely eggs in the shell, which sell at higher prices than the frozen and dried eggs from China. In 1914, just a decade ago, there were 19,000,000 dozen Chinese eggs Imported. By 1918 the imports totaled 52,400,000 dozen, and In 1920 the number had climbed to 71,600,000 dozen. In 1922, the year the tariff went Into effect, An Honorable Form only 25,827,000 dozen were imported. Last year the number was still further The essay Is a literary creature to the reduced, with only 23,710,000 dozen coming in. Present prices are not especially attractive to imports. The demand Is making of which go mood and form; for strictly high quality eggs, the production of which for the home markets and the former would seem by far the paramount thing. Great and special the American hen monopolizes. gifts does It demand. Tis an Ariel among literary kinds, shy, airy, tricksy, elusive, vanishing in the garish light that beats down upon the arena where the big prizes of fiction are competed for amidst noise, confusion, and eclat. But even In its own slight, winsome way does it compel attention, and gain hearts for its very own. Tls an aristocrat of letters: nowhere Is it so hard to hide obvious antecedents. Many try but few triumph in it. Therefore, when a real essayist arrives, let him be received with due acclaim and thanks special, since through him Is handed on so ancient and honorable a form.

HYRUM STATE BANK HYRUM, 17 YEARS UTAH of MEAT CONSUMPTION ,1 in the U.S. All Kinds of Job Printing Promptly Done at This Office More meat and lard was consumed per capita in 1923 than In any other year since 190S. This increase in consumption was primarily In pork and k lard. According to the Agricultural Foundation, In addition to providing the amount needed for domestic consumption, enough meat and lard was produced to export over two billion pounds, which Is equivalent to about 18 pounds more per capita. As pork production Is now being curtailed, the 1924 figure of meat consumption Is not likely to be equaled in 1925. Sears-Roebuc- |
