Show A SOCIAL EVIL. Many inconsistencies are daily brought to light. Some are worthy the thought and reflection of thinking minds. It is natural for a man to look for the cause and effect of what he beholds though naught (save knowledge) is gained by the solving of some mysteries; he oft finds ample recompense for his trouble in the mere consciousness of knowing, "why" and "how." A great deal has been said and written of late in the newspapers on the problem of temperance and the liquor traffic. It is to be regretted that in discussing a subject like this, where there is room for honest difference of opinion-views should have found expression in words neither police nor dignified. People are divided into two parties, one favoring prohibition the other advocating the licensing of saloons. This is not strange; different people see different things in different lights but what does seem incomprehensible is, that among those who favor licence are found many who do not drink, and who, if their example was followed would soon settle the liquor question forever. Again there are many liquor consumers who are among the loudest talkers for having a stop put to the sale thereof openly, or would vote for prohibition. These may be numbered with the unexplained inconsistencies. Why should people argue, quarrel, cavil and abuse each other simply because they cannot agree on a particular point in social science. How much wiser for people (and even Editors) to take up some subject pleasing to all, something that all might agree upon. Say you, that is easier said than done, for there are but few subjects worthy such universal attention. Still there is one subject that has many advocates, which never can have too many, words inumerable and breath incalculable are daily spent in making it prominent. Dear reader, keep cool now, the subject I bring to your notice is the Sewing Machine. Talk and write about the Sewing Machine trade; stir it up, agitate it. Let the burden be sewing machines in general and "The White" in particular, it is a thing of beauty and poet Keats sang "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Its sound is not like the "rushing of many waters," not like a "Battle at Waterloo" nor like a Thresher or any noisy thing. Its sound is soothing and pleasing, reminding one of humming birds and bees, flitting through the flowers and trees, tired nature falls asleep to its music music, as sweetly as a child fanned by the wings of an angel. This machine is the simplest made yet the easiest operated in the market. Over 300 now in use in Cache Valley. It has a self-setting needle and self-threading schuttle, is adjustable in all wearing parts so cannot wear out. It can be had as cheap as any first-class machine. It can be seen at Mrs. Edward's fancy store one half block west of Z. C. M. I. with hundreds of other beautiful things that none can fail but admire and desire, while admiring. Call and examine her stock. Oil, needles and all kinds of attachments kept on hand. Orders sent to Frank Larsen, Logan, will receive prompt attention. s12-2t |
