CONNER, Publisher RUTH METZ, Society Editor (Kit) XJ ( can do we have hlfi own that is yourself. course we hate braggarts, the kind that are always telling you how good they are to keep you from finding out how poor they are. Those are the kind of individuals that we could well do without. They are the kind of people who have no song to tooteth in their horn but they toot it just the same and its nothing more than a big blast of hot air. The kind of horns we like to hear tooting are the horns that are tooting about some-- 1 Of thing. Now and then Helper is accused by its rivals of tooting its horn too loud and we admit that civic pride now and then bursts from us In a big toot,, but that toot is a smalL one compared to the blasts of hot air that now and then sweeps in upon us from other directions. We pride ourselves upon our city and we are glad other cities do the same, but we resent the accussa-tio- n that we toot for tootings sake nothing else. When we toot w have something to toot about and we are not afraid to tcbt it, and we've noticed that other cities do the same as we do, except that now and then we show better judgment. A COUUTY RACECOURSE Have you ever walked out along the cement highway between Helper and Price, and felt tht cars whizz past you? We have and we wish to say that the Indianapolis on Memorial Day has speedway nothing on this particular stretch of Carbon County highway. Big cars, small cars, medium cars and Fords tear down the smooth surface of the road In a sort of hectic frenzy, and the fact that no more are injured than there are speaks more for the skill of the driver than it does for his discretion. We feel rather guilty writing this because now and then we have felt the urge to step up the did puddle jumper and see just how much she could do, and we haven't found out her limits yet, but nevertheless suppose something or other would have gone wsfong ' what would have happened? We probably would be. working an ash hoist instead of a typewriter. Critics teU us we live in a day of spied, etc. That youth can't get along with the old horse and buggy that fathher used. Well, that may be, but we harpen to know that mother and father now appreciate the speed of the four cylinder much more than they did the good natur-t- d getaway of old dobbin. How many of them prefer the organ to the latest jazz record, and how many of them stay at home looking the family album when there's a good show in town. If you took a look at the drivers of some of the speeding wrecks the highway you would be surprised to find that the majority along of them are not beardless youths, but men of middle age and beyond. Some of our county's best known citizens seem to think that this bit of cement was laid there for their special benelit to test out the car in high. Perhaps it was, but pedestrians now and then hate to think that all they amount to on the state road is raw material for an auto accident. The county officers who protect thin road from speeders ere not strict enough. Efficiency should be incorporated there until we could sing the song, "If you get '- - '- Jk'i-Zr'a- v,- v 'iufit 4 read, "He horn tooteth It well, but he that tooteth not his own horn, that horn tootheth not." Which means nothing more than if you don't tell others how good you are no one else will. If you possess virtues which the world fails to see is your business to bring 'em out in the light and the only one that where that tooteth fit?

Noel, Uintah forward, led the attack for his team, scoring nine points and becoming high point man of the tournament with his twenty-fou- r points. Jensen of Castle Dale, who likewise played a fast game Saturday, is second in scoring with eighteen points.

A Genoese by birth but for many a mapmaker and navigator of years Lisbon, Portugal, Columbus was only one of a number of savants who believed that the earth was round and that a new route to the East Indies could be found by sailing west in the Atlantic ocean. Prior to the age of Columbus, men had come to believe that the earth was round but they thought that Europe rested nt the top of it. The middle of the earth, they imagined, was so heated by vertical rays of the sun that the ocean boiled and neither animals nor plants could survive In It, find beyond this boiling sea begun Hie downward slope which would prevent the return of any ship ruoh enough to sail so far.
