The Relief Society and City officials have been urging for the past few months that the premises be 'cleaned up, but not until the past month have the majority of the peois ple taken heed. The Times-New- s of the opinion that on account of the State Municipal League convention coming to Nephi, the people have put forth a little more effort to have their premises clean for- that occasion. If this Is the case, then we should have a convention in this city each year. Regardless' of what caused the people to clean up the weeds around their places, they- have done some very fine work. "Keep the Home Ties Tied" Says Prisoner No. 4692 Recently in the Deseret News appeared an editorial endorsing the "home evening" movement and mak ing a plea for greater attention to the strengthening of the family ties. On reading the editorial, one of the "boys" out in the state prison wrote the following letter. Who can read It without being touched the by thoughts of this "wanderer?" Here is his letter: Editor, Desereet News: Your editorial on the "Back to the Home," movement in Thursday's "News" should have a particular appeal to those, who, like myself, are wanderers. We can appreciate such a theme more fully than the fortunate ones who have never lacked, and therefore never missed, that anchor to windward a home. However, you called for suggestions. A line of Maupassant's has been hibernating in my mind for years; "The Chill of a Borrowed Hearth." That is eloquent; express ive. With good copy to follow, it should make an excellent slogan for an advertisement picturing the con trast between a formal clubroom, for instance, and a good living room. Considering the weather however, it would scarcely be ap propriate at present. But what about this, or something similar, as a rough suggestion: KEEP THE HOME TIES TIED a blare of light, Theatres; nights of gaiety. Ballrooms; with intoxicating music and white arms; all are good. Healthy lives should not be sequestered. But when the nights grow long, and the dance wearies; then one is grateful for a greater pleasure, the quiet joy of an evening at home. Have you ever noticed that all the truly great have mastered the art of relaxation? Home la the one spot on Earth's surface where we can com pletely irelax; where the ng little pretenses that are necessary with strangers can be grateCully discarded. Spend an evening each week at home. Get acquainted with, your own. Keep the home ties tied!

There was also noted a look of wistfulness In the eyes of some of the boys who had no father present to take by the hand. Shall we not also venture a surmise that there was a resolve made by all the boys that when they became fathers they would make sure of at least one outing a year In son's company? Also, may we not assume that every father in the circle made a resolution to attend every fathers' and sons' outing henceforth, when the Doys sang, to the appealing strains of "When You and I Were Young, ' ' Maggie"?

Mr. Wilson returned this week from the Idaho city: "If a check-u- p of field data which he obtained this week confirms first estimates. H. E. Wilson ot Nephi, Utah, will undertake the development of 160 acres of land lying three miles east of American Falls. He believes it will be possible to install a pumping unit and put water on the tract at the very nominal cost ot $4.00 per acre, this figure lncluding the purchase price of a small right in American Falls storage. "Mr. Wilson, a former resident of the city and now chief engineer for the Nephi Plaster & Manufacturing company. Is the owner of the Joseph Gish farm of 160 acres. He came to American Falls last Monday, and devoted the first three days of the week to making a preliminary survey ot the project. "He finds that, with the water la the reservoir at its present level, which Is five feet under high water mark, a lift of only 38 feet will be required to put water on the highest point on the tract. In the event of a maximum run-ofor Irrigation, the lift will increase to 80 feet. Taking a mean of these figures. Mr. Wilson estimates that the cost will not exceed $4.00 per acre. "Two routes are available for the main canal. One would follow the highway, and the other would cross the W. S. Sparks ranch. Either rout Is feasible, and when the water has been carried to the tract there Is sufficient fall for purposes of Irrigation. Wr. Wilson proposes to do his pumping with an improved type of Internal combustion engine, chosen for Its economy of operation. "Before leaving for Nephi yesterday, Mr. Wilson informed a Press representative that he was certain his plan was feasible. He Intends to check over his figures carefully, and if he finds that his early conclusions have been borne out, he will prepare profiles and make application to the Bureau of Reclamation for the purchase of three acre feet of storage. ut "Naturally, Mr. Wilson's experi- ment will be watched with the closest interest. Should it prove a success, it will Increase the value of his More than holdings fully ten-folthat, It will lead to the irrigation ot d. larger tracts, and bring thousands of acres of the most fertile land in Power county under cultivation."
