Without desi.ring-to.assuma domineering attitude to-- , ward our city officials we are constrained to ask if they do not feel that the people of Provo are entitled to know something of the financial affairs of the city during the most active year in its history As our newspaper exchan; ;cs from all parts of the state come in we find annual financial reports of practically "every city published in detail. For a time our city officials published in pamphlet form a few' copies of our auditors report, which could be had by calling at the office for, them. However, during the past year this information has been withheld, we dare say, because it was impracticable from the fact that no one called for these pamphlets. Few people have' time nor inclination to go to the city auditors office to make inquiry concerning the finances of the city, and doubtless if they did they would feel that thefwere being looked upon with suspicion. Not that we wish to infer that such would be the case, but people are sensative about making inquiries in matters of this kind. .

Many colleges are finding it necessary to increase fees. The wealthier institutions canvass, among theirgraduates and have succeeded in raising some big endowments.. But that is not sufficient to cover the increase of expenses that colleges have to meet. ' It is a costly proposition to put a boy or girl through' college.-Additito this cost are a tax on knowledge. Graduates of theseinstitutions should feel so kepnlv their obligation to them, that they, will contribute liberally to endowment funds and keep tuition, fees down. But if these colleges are to continue their fine work. they must attract brainy hienas college professors, wfiioT ought not to be paid the meager salaries that haveso fre-quently been offered.

Modern young folks are afraid of being thought ridiculous. They have mostly handed over the valentine custom to the kiddies, who feel quite like grown ups when they experi-enc- e attacks of puppy love. v i -- One of the most characteristic customs of young folks a, generation ago, was Sending valentines on the 14th of Feb- -. ruary. It is a custom dating back many hundreds of years and is said to have originated in the pretty idea that the mating o birds begins on this date. Young men of 30 years ago .thought long and deeply about their valentines. They blushingly bought decorated affairs of lace and pictures, containing highly sentimental pledges of affection, and many illustrations of hearts and cupids. A great many heart throbs went into these affectionate messages. Young men watched with bated breath to see how their best girls took them. They generally received HIRING APPRENTICES. his difficulties in hiring young apprentices during the period of scarce labor Jle quoted factory that during the-wpaid about $8.00 to $9.00 a day to young fellows just school. He felt that many of these young men had of put their ideas too high and found money coming too easy. This man offered such a young fellow a job at $3.00 a day. Man alive, said the boy, that wouldnt pay my cigarette money. He refused to take the job. The chances are that today he is standing ground the curbstones, bumming on his friends for his smolces, and complaining about bad times. It is not strange that the prices of all kinds of merchandise got so high, that the public had to go slow on buying, thus creating a temporary check on business. .
