McQuire was today i Birthday of Esteemed Citizen Celebrated Here Yesterday WORLD IS SPINNING ap- pointed postmaster of Provo. Such is the purport of telegraphic information received from Senator Reed Smoot this morning. It is reported that some activity in bpposition to McAdams appointment developed and attention hadrecently was called to the fact that the civil service commission is at liberty to select one of three ' who passed the service examination. Mr. - highest McAdam ranked first, Mr. McQuire, second, and Mr. Smoot, present incumbent, third. It is reported that the civil ser- vice commissioners attention was .also ,directed to Mr. McAdams activities in connection with the school board, which is an elective office, and said to be one which cannot be held without violating postal regulation. In answer to this, McAdam declares that in 1916 the United States civil I service board had ruled that he might accept the school board position if it did not involve active participation in politics. Mr. McQuire is a Provo product, having lived here practically all of his life. He is a graduate of the Brigham Young university, and since he left that institution he has held several positions of trust. Those familiar with his qualifications for ' this particular position declare that he will give the public an efficient e service at the head of the local post-offic- THRILLING BASKET SAID PLAYED TOMORROW Tomorrow night one of the basketball games of the Rocky Mountain conference will be played in Provo, is scheduled to take place in the mens gymnasium between the husky Ujfah Aggies and the lithe Ys men.

The Aggies are said to be very fast and so aggressive that they are rather rough. The Western Athletic club team reports that they are veritable bulldogs. The Ys men will be in good condition if Simmons and Keeler are both in the game. Neither of these mem .has recovered from past Simmons has been on taking his exercise while lying his back with legs running in the air this week in order to save his crippled ankle.

Spencer of Salt Lake. The speaker declared that the success of any business organization deof employer pends on and employe in giving efficient service. He stated that business today might be likened to a man who has been sick and is convalescing and does not feel as if he would be safe in discharging the nurse, who is experienced in modern science and the modern ways of doing things. The old ways of doing things while the old man is sick, wont do,1 said the speaker, who, to emphasize his point of view, quoted from Herbert Kaufmans The Modern Pace. Opportunity changes her password every day the world is spinning four times as fast as it used to. A few' misguided astronomers may try to dispute the fact but theyre living among the stars; quoted Mr. The man who hasnt proSpencer., gressed is like the householder who bxpects the key of his old flat to fit He cant get in. his new home You must keep absorb ing new ideas aswelfe new air.

In conclusion Mr. Spencer declared that the business man of oday is in favor of a new an eleventh comThow shallt not be mandment: he urged those present and grouchy, to carry the spirit of optimism into home. the - Those present were given a treat in the fine musical numbers rendered by Prof. Robert Sauer of the Brig-bar- n and his Young university, daughter Elsie 4 andMr.Rulon Morgan.
