There he lays aside hla mask and you may judge whether he is imp or angel, king or cur, hero or humbug. I care not what the world says of him; whether it crown him with bay, or pelt him with bad eggs; I care never a copper what his reputation or religion may be: If his babes and his better half has to dread his home-comin- g swallow her heart every time she has to ask him for a bill, he's a fraud of the first water, even hough he prays night and morn till he's black In the face, and howls hallelujah till he shakes the eternal hills. But if his children rush to the front gate to greet him, and love's own sunshine Illuminates the face of his wife when she hears his footfall, you may take it for granted that he is true gold, for his home's a heaven, and the humbug never gets that near the great white throne of God. I can forgive much In that fellow mortal who would rather make men swear than women weep; who would rather have the hate of than the contempt of his wife; the whole who would rather call anger to the eyes of a king than fear to the face of a child. William Cowper Brann. five-doll- ar ld y Mr. Wilson was born in Eden- borough, Scotland, June 10. 183S and emigrated to the United States when he was ten years of age, com he ing to Salt Lake City, where stayed for two years, and then came down to Nephi, where he has spent the remainder of his life. He arriv ed in Salt Lake City in the year 1850. in the year 1859 he was married to Rebecca Sidwell. To this union eleven children were born, seven of whom survive, namly: Charles, Alex, and John Wilson, Mrs. Celestla Foote, Mrs. Georgenia Kendall, Mrs. Kate Brough, of Nephi, and Mrs. Birdie Duncan of Salt Lake City. , r orrest Hotel rirst To Receive Award In This State The Forrest hotel in this city is in receipt of a certificate from The Daniel Guggenheim Fund. The certt ficate was received Wednesday of this week and is the first to be re ceived in Utah so far as known, it being given for the part the hotel company has played in the promotion of aeronautics by the marking of their building. The management has marked the roof of the hotel with the word "Nephi" in eight foot letters, which show up well from the air. The post office department and the Guggenheim Fund are both advocat ing the marking of the principal building in each city to direct air mail planes and also to identity towns for any pilot who may get off his course. The certificate received by the hotel is signed by Colonel Charles A, Lindbergh and Harry F. Guggnheim as president of the foundation. The following is the certificate: DANIEL GUGGENHEIM FUND FOR THE PROMOTION OF AERONAUTICS This is to certify that the Forrest Hotel has completed the work of identification for the service of aerial navigation, thus contributing to the establishment of a nation wide system of tranpsortation by air. In recognition of this achievement this certificate is presented to the Forrest Hotel by the directors of the fund. Signed CHARLES A. LINDBERGH Signed HARRY F. GUGGENHEIM, Pres. The Salt Lake Tribune of Friday the 11th, has a three column cut of Nephi's up to date hotel, with picture of Colonel Lindbergh as an inset, which will give the hotel and the town some of the best publicity possible. n Contract For Road Let to Olof Nelson Nephi-Leva- high school of Salt Lake. The reasons for Springville as the heavy favorite this season are not hard to find. Coach C. B. Ledlng- ham's Red Devils placed fourth in the state tournament in 1928, following an easy victory in Nebo competition. Only one man of that team Lou Johnsan, center has been lost by graduation. Consequently, with a veteran lineup, added experience, and a very fair record, Springville looks good to repeat. The Red Devils divided two games with Provo, and swamped American Fork in two contests, while other Nebo teams have had the worst ot it in clashes with Alpine division teams. The Springville men are: Captain . D. S. pre-seas- Paxman, Childs and Packard, foror forward wards; Man waring, center; Nielsen, center or guard; Harward, Thorn and Anthon, guards. Nephi is the possible "dark horse . of the sector. They have played with few teams of this section, bo that little comparison can be drawn, but Coach Monte Groesbeck s charges have done well in practice games with foes from farther south. Blackett, Sowby 'and7TawkrnB, forwards; Howard, center; Lunt, Sperry, Chase and Greenwood, guards, are the men likely to see the most service this season. Payson has a dangerous outfit, under the direction of Coach Stan Wilson. The Lions have a good defensive team, with their chief trouble being basket-shootin- g Snyder, Patten accuracy. and Mendenhall, forwards; J. Wilson, center; II. Wilson, Searles and Dimmick, guards, are the most likely performers to date. Coach Fenton Reeve has only one letterman at Spanish Fork, and the Beetdigger team has not appeared A split with as very formidable. American Fork has been their best success against Alpine teams, Nelson, Lewis and Beck, forwards; Peterson and Hughes, centers; Evans, Robertson, Chadwick and Hansen, guards, have appeared in the lineup frequently. Tlntic high has very little this year, according to all indications. Veterans of last season have passed, and Coach Kirk has had a terrific task to assemble a team of formidable caliber. Logan, Rovers and Fennell, forwards; May and Cronin, centers; and Jarvis, Sunderland Naylor, guards, are among the Miner's outstanding performers. Rabbit Hunt to be Staged in Round Valley Next Tuesday A big rabbit hunt will be staged in Round Valley, south east of Scipio next Tuesday, when a group of fifteen picked hunters of Mount Pleasant will do battle for honors, with a like number from Nephi. It is reported that the rabbits are very plentiful in Round Valley, and Johnand and .Paxman son and Beck, Howell, Nephi's dry farmers in that area no doubt will be pleased to learn of the big hunt which will be staged there Tuesday of next week. J. A. Whipple, who recently was transferred from the Sanpete county town, hopes to see the Nephi sharp shooters win, but says they will have Word was received by J.
