Seek Your Own Names By w. M. E. "To Whom are we related? There seems to be an impression that all- those who bear a common name are descended from a common com-mon ancestor and are all of the same family. That is to say, it is assumed that all who bear the name of Barber are descended from one man who called himself Barber in the days wnen surnames sur-names were first adopted. Believ- i ing this to be the case many have thought they were hunting their genealogy when they were searching search-ing the various records from various var-ious parts of the world and copying copy-ing therefrom the names of all who bear the same surname as their own. A study of the articles recently published in this department on the origin of English surnames, indicates that in many case there were perhaps thousands who adopted the same surname who were in no way related. Hundreds Hun-dreds of Johns and Jims who followed fol-lowed the trade of blacksmithing were called by their John the smith and Jim the smith. When surnames came into style they simply adopted the name which had already been given them and called themselves Smith. The barbers, the tylers, the shepherds, the farmers and many others did the same thing. In fact the majority of surnames were taken from common things or common occupations which might be used by any number of others as a surname. The man who lived on a hill or by a hill in many cases took the name of Hill as his surname. And the man who searches the records of the various parts of the British Brit-ish empire and America for those who have Hill as their surname may get representatives of hundreds hun-dreds of different Hill families who did not have a common ancestor an-cestor named Hill. It is not the obligation or the duty of the Latter-day Saints to do temple work for any other than their own ancestors and the WRITER PRAISES WEEK'S PROGAf.1 The theme of the fifteenth annual an-nual Leadership week at Brigham Young university, "Promoting Spirituality Today," was a very timely subject. Inspirational sermons ser-mons were deliyered by all speakers speak-ers and very much enjoyed by the large audiences that packed every general assembly. The attendance at the genealogical genealog-ical department in College hall, was exceptionally large. It was observed, that a large number of those present were taking notes, on important points which they no doubt aim to take with them to their various wards, that it may be used as an incentive for greater activity among the members mem-bers of these wards. The fifteenth Leadership week is now part of history. Many who were present no doubt received re-ceived much good from the instructions in-structions given in the various departments. de-partments. Most of what was said may be forgotetn, but the spirit that predominated will linger in the heart and minds indefinitely. indefinite-ly. Many no doubt also met friends whom they had not come in contact with for some time. That in itself is a very pleasant consideration and helps to brighten bright-en the somber spots in a life of haste and toil. Now that it is all over with, let us get busy, and make good use of what was so generously given by all who took part on the program, that we shall be able to live a more abundant life. -C. V. H.

The main features of the evening was called "The Picture Show". A sheet of paper was pinned on the wall and a boy or girl stood between be-tween it and an electric light so ; the profile of the face cast its shadow on the paper. An outline of the face was made on the paper with a pencil after which it was painted black making a silhouette of the person's head. After all faces had been drawn and colored they were placed on a wall and the students were Tiven a certain number of min-fctes min-fctes of identifying the proper person. The one who could name the most in the time given was i the winner. This created a great deal of excitment and merriment. Afterwards. light refreshments were served. Games were also played.

On Utah County Farms With County Extension Agent - New Song Ready for Genealogy Groups A new song, words written by Mrs Louise Allen and set to music by Prof. S. W. Williams has been published by the Utah stake genealogical committee. This is a very appropriate song for genealogical gatherings. The words and music are sublime and the spirit created by the singing of this song is inspiring. It is published in pamphlet form. The cover is a beautiful set-up with a picture of each of the temples, which is now in use namely: Salt Lake, St. George, Logan, Manti, Canadian, Arizona and Hawaiian. The efforts put forth by the writer of the words, and the composer com-poser of the music is very commendable. com-mendable. We hope this song is not published in vain but that it will have ?i great mission before be-fore it. We need more of these songs in our work. Who will be next. C. V. H. AGENTS MAKE PLANS TO BENEFIT RURAL LIVING IN UTAH More careful planning for agriculture agri-culture in the counties will be the central theme of the county agent's program for years to come, according to Director William Wil-liam Peterson of the Utah State Agricultural college, who conducted conduct-ed an extension conference last week at Logan. The agents were urged to make a careful inventory of their respective re-spective counties to determine the number and condition of livestock, the amount of different crops grown and if other groups could be produced profitably, and emphasis em-phasis was placed on a careful investigation of the water supply and how it could be put to better use. They were also urged to make a study of the range; tax delinquency, delin-quency, indebtedness, how taxes and other obligations are being met; marketing relationships; what the county has to buy and sell; living conditions of the people peo-ple and the health of the communities. com-munities. Studies are also to be made on methods of preserving the soil fertility. "Many of the towns in Utah" show that at one time the people peo-ple had greater hope, wealth, thrift. You should find out why that is so and help to build a program that will assist our people peo-ple to come back," Director Peterson Peter-son advised. "We live too much without planning. plan-ning. Instead of planning for the future we wake up with our fists doubled to meet the obstacles of each day. We worry over the floods in, the spring and over the drouth in July and August, while water goes to waste in all of the rivers. We must conserve our water resources. Our very existence exist-ence in this state depends on water. wa-ter. It means money, health, convenience. We have lived up to where things come easy; we must now face tasks of conserving- our natural resources." Following the extension conference confer-ence a three-day school of philos ophy was conducted at the college by representatives of the agricul-I agricul-I tural adjustment administration for the Utah staff of county ; agents and specialists. the program would be declared unconstitutional." Sat On British Throne Is Boast of American SOIL PROGRAM MAY REPLACE THREE A SAYS DIRECTOR Soil conservation may be the center of the whole new approach on the part of the federal administration admin-istration in its new program to aid the farmers of the nation, in the opinion of W. A. Lloyd, director di-rector of western extension for the United States department of agriculture, agri-culture, who recently addressed the extension confeience at the Utah State Agriculture college. "The most likely approach is to broaden and expand the present pres-ent soil conservation service anc probably pay benefits to those who conform to certain prescribed practices," Mr. Lloyd ventured. He said, however, that his ideas were not official bu; he was judging from the trends of thought in Washington, D. C. When asked concerning the payment pay-ment of obligations to the farmers farm-ers under contract with the agricultural agri-cultural adjustment administration, administra-tion, Mr. Lloyd said that in his opinon the government would go 'the limit in protecting everyone who had complied with the regulations regu-lations of the control contracts. "This matter is strictly up to congress to make appropriations for the payments," he said. "The present temper of the agricultural organization is that in the liquidation liquida-tion of the AAA, congress must take care of these obligations. The administration aims to do all that is humanly possible to protect pro-tect individuals who have com-rlied com-rlied with the program and have not been paid for so doing. At present there is no definite program pro-gram of the AAA insofar as funds are concerned, but program planning plan-ning is going forward. The supreme su-preme court decision came as a blow to most of us. We had anticipated that certain phases of the plan would be attacked, but had no idea the whole principle of OKLAHOMA CITY, v.rv Wil-laim Wil-laim Noble of Oklahoma City believes be-lieves he is the only uncrowned person who ever sat on the British Brit-ish throne. His guide was horrified and the dignified English spectators were left gasping when Noble hopped up on the sacred throne in Westminster West-minster Abbey in 1905, according to his story. Tradition had it that only a king or a queen could touch the I throne, which was protected by a ) railing, but Noble, said he could ! not resist the impulse to leap over ! and sit in the seat. j He said King Edward laughed j lustily when he heard of the incident.
