Booth, commander of the Utah department of the Legion. The American Legion campaign for a $5,000,000 Endowment Fund for rehabilitation and child welfare, which has been going on in several states, is now under way in Utah. It will culminate in an intensive drive probably about the last of May. The American Legion wants the American public to have the opportunity of helping the Legion help the disabled veterans and the children of men who gave up their lives as a result of their services to the' country, Commander Booth said. Rehabilitation and child welfare are the two greatest post-wa- r problems They are so closely related that they disabled almost one. Wlat are down not looked has father upon the faces of dependent children with terror least they suffer the pangs of privation which his restoration to his health alone can prevent? Does not his mental anguish over fate of little children erect a material bar to his own reconstruction. There are 35,000 war orphans, and many times more sick, ailing and dismen whose lives the abled war blighted. We can not do too much for them our debt can never be fully repaid. The American Legion has assumed the obligation of seeing that these two consequences of the war receive a full measure of justice, but we need the publics assistance to the limit. Everywhere the endowment move ment has spread, it has met with the hearty reception. I know it will meet with the same response in Utah President Coolidge is chairman of the national honorary committee for the endowment fund and all members of his cabinet have endorsed it. Leading men and women of the country in all lines of endeavor are members of the national endowment fund committee. Already the work of organizing the state and local endowment fund committee has begun. These committees will contain the names of prominent citizens and members of the Legion and Legion Auxiliary, commander Booth stated. Salina Boy HM Four world famous educators will give special lectures on subjects of general interest at the Utah Agricultural National Summer College School which opens at Logan June 15. In addition to the twenty four members on the visiting faculty who will cooperate with the resident facul ty in offering standard graduate and under graduate courses, Professor Edward H. Gibbs, of New York City, Professor Shailer Matthews, of the University of Chicago, Professor E. A. Steiner, of Grinnell College, Iowa, and Dr. A. E. Winship, of Boston will ecture on education, ethics and relilife. gion; vital subjects in every-daThese lectures will be given twice daily throughout the summer school at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. This lecture course may be taken for credit if so desired. Course tickets will be issued at a nominal fee for the entire series and individual admissions may also be secured. Professor Griggs, one of the best known lecturers in America was recommended by Professor Shailer who regards him as being better qualified to treat the subjects he will deal with than any other living scholar. Professor Mattews who is dean of the Divinity School at the University of Chicago, nationally known as an educator, lecturer and author and whose lecturers proved so popular at the first session of the National Summer School, will deliver a series of addresses the coming summer on the themes having a universal appeal. Ethics and practical religion will be the themes of Professor Steiners lectures. He served also in the first National Summer School and proved very popular. He is an inspiring and eloquent speaker. The fourth of these great educators Dr. Winship, editor of the Journal of Education. He is widely known and highly esteemed by the teachers in every state in the Union. His lectures are always full of inspiration for those engaged in the teaching profession. The regular quarterly conference of the North Sevier Stake, held in the Redmond Ward Chapel last Saturday and Sunday, proved one of the most interesting and best given for some time. The visitors were from all ad- y Mat-chew- s, The Agricultural Outlook As Seen By County Agent joining communities and the various meetings during the two days session were enjoyed to the fullest. The meeting opened at 10 oclock Saturday morning with President Arthur Christiansen presiding. Several talks and addesses were made by officers and bishops of this stake of Zion. Also some of our recently returned missionaries gave some very interesting addresses on their work in the missionary field. Melvin J. Ballard, of the twelve apostles of the Mormon Church was the principal speaker throughout the entire sessions. His subjects were interesting and appealing to the large crowd that attended. He gave an interesting discourse using as his subjects The Ressdrection of Christ. Showing the signifigance and meaning of Easter. Then by illustration he admonished his hearers to beware of the evil one, whom he called the Polished Gentleman. Know Thyself was his principal subject in the afternoon meeting on Sunday. Ilis plea was urgent for all to conquor the temptations before them before giving advice to others. In conclusion he showed the advantages people had in the mountains and the blessings which would be theirs if they lived according to the commandments of God. The Redmond choir, under the direction of Tony Willardson, furnished the music at all the meetings. James C. Jensen and G. M. Wright also pleased the congregation by each singing a beautiful solo. The meeting Sunday night under the auspicies of the mutual improvement association brought to a close one of the most interesting conferences held for years in this stake of Zion. Thomas Griffon Humphry Jr. widely known throughout Sevier county and highly respected by all who knew him, died at the local hospital Wednesday evening of last week. He was stricken with flu and then pneumonia about a week ago and since that time had been treated and cared for with tender and loving hands in the hope that his health might be restored. But invain, and Wednesday evening surronuded by many members of his family he gave his life to his maker. The deceased was born in Salina October 1, 1877 and spent his early life engaged in farm activities. For the past twenty years he had devoted most of his time to taking care of sheep and cattle in the western states He was a lover of nature and his cheerful countenance, wherever he went, brought sunshine to many. His untimely death is mourned by a great many friends besides the many relatives. He is survived by a thirteen year old son Lamar C. Humphry his aged mother and father, one sister, Mrs. Roda Gibson of Soldier Sum mit, and the following brothers: Wilford and Ray Humphry of Orange-vil- l, J. W. Humphry of Ephriam, and Leon Humphry of Salina. Funeral services were held in the Second ward Chapel, Friday afternoon at two oclock, with Bishop G. M. Burr presiding. The ward choir rendered several beautiful and appropriate selections during the obsequies, ed to nearly six times the quantity certified three years ago.
