He must be in possession of two sterling qualities if he succeeds. First, .bravery, and second, good judgment. Enough fear should be known to BE CLEANED OF WEED The initial steps toward an extensive cleanup campaign in this city wherein special stress will be laid on the disposition of all .forms41 of weeds now so prevalent on the streets and in the lots of this city, were taken at a special meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms this morning. There were present at the meeting a number of interested citizens who went over the situation and made tentative plans for a campaign designed to sweep the city clean. Superintendent Dixon of the city schools and Principal Atkins of the high school were presente and proffered to use their influence with the school children to the end of securing their cooperation in the movement. At the outset a survey of the town will be made, and districts organized, and prizes will be offered for the most efficient work in the cleanup movement. C. J. Sorenson, county crop and pest inspector, was present and emphasized the need of every citizen to comply with the state law with regard to preventing the growth of noxious weeds. This law reads as follows: Section 1. Destroying Noxious Weeds Every railroad, canal, ditch and water company and every person, firm and corporation owning, controlling or occupying lands in this state, and every county, municipality. Irrigation or drainage district having supervision and control over streets, alleys, lanes, rights-of-wa- y or other lands shall cut and destroy all Canada thistle, boll thistle, burdock and all other weeds designated by the State Board of Agriculture as noxious and injurious to vegetation, before such weeds shall propagate or spread and whenever required by the State Board or county crop pest inspector. Those in charge of this campaign will no doubt call upon the citizens of Provo with a view of enlisting their cooperation in the movement, but it is hoped that many of our citizens who are embUed with civic pride will begin to clean up their premises at once. Such action would lend much stimulus to the movement aYid effect. it would have a ? ELIZABETH STUBBS ANSWERS PLANNED, PROVO TO ENTERTAINMENT The first session of the Utah State Firemen Fifteenth Annual Convention convened In the Armory hall this morning with a good representation of Utahs fire fighters in attendance. f President Hyrum Sessions of Bountiful presided. The session opened with a violin solo by Miss Alene Phillips, with Miss Florence Newell playing the piano accompaniment. The visitors were by Mayor O. K. Hansen, whogreeted addressed the delegates as follows: Members of the Firemens Association of Utah: On behalf of the citizens of Provo I welcome you to our city for the annual convention. We congratulate ourselves on having you with us in this capacity and hope that treatment while with us may be your such that you will feel that you make no mistake in selecting. our city for your convention. Perhaps most of the troubles that come to people come through misunderstandings. Missunderstandings come through lack of acquaintance, and the one way in which to become better acquainted I to meet each other often on the other fellows level. I rather think people understand this, and because of this understanding such gatherings as this are provided. Your meetings should do much for you, but the two outstanding things will be the revelation of your individual strength as an organization and the discovery of your weakness. Both are necessary for the success you desire. If you satisfy yourselves that you possess the first quality, guard It carefully; if you happen to find any weakness in your system you will here learn how to AUNT DEATHS GALL Mrs. Elizabeth Stubbs, 82 years of age, wife of the late Ppter Stubbs, died at her home in this city this afternoon at 1 oclock, of causes Incident to old age. Mrs. Stubbs was born on January 18, 1840, at Manchester, England. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, and came to Utah in 1851, crossing the plains by oxen team with the A. O. Smoot company. She resided in American Fork for a few months, after which she imoved to this city, where she had since lived. Mrs. Stubbs was a faithful Latter-da- y Saint, and possessed, a noble character which has made for her a host of friends She was a member of the first Relief society organization in this city, and prior to the "founding of that organization here she did much of the work which it embraces. Mrs. Stubbs is survived by three sons, James E. of Gunnison, Albert P. and Alfred D. of Provo, and the fold, Mrs. J. R. lowing daughters; Mrs. J. E. Taylor, Mrs. Albert Hedquist, all of this city, and Mrs. E. L. Jones of Salt Lake City; also one sister, Mrs. Hannah Dunck-le- y of Salt Lake. The body is in charge of the Berg Mortuary, and funeral services will be held Friday, the particulars of which will be announced later.

The members of this splendid organization are ivorking out a program of unusual interest and every member of y civic club of Provo is expected to be present. Owing to the uncertainty of Once more the visitor calls our attention to our needs and suggests a program of work to meet these needs. Dr. Caroline Hedger in her vigorous lecture last evening at the tabernacle on What the Community Owes to the Child, hung before us pictures of child neglect which we have all seen before many times, but which have not had the power to stir this community into sufficient action. During the last few years we have been visited by Chautauqua lecturers, lyceum speakers and health and social experts who have bombarded us with a constant volley of facts as to our duties to the citizens of the future. The result of this has been the gradual awakening of a community consciousness and a few things have been done towards making Provo the proper kind of culture ground for young Americans that it should' be. But there is enough yet undone to keep every able bodied grown-up- , every club, and every church organization in the city for a decade to bring this city along side of other communities of its size in the United States. Provo is entirely without adequate playgrounds for its children. Its youth seek recreation as aimlessly as a band of foraging wolves and almost the only avenues which invite the young people are highly seasoned commercialized amusemnts. Provo needs play organizers, athletic directors and recreational supervisors. It is far better for 200 boys and girls to be engaged in organized and directed baseball games than to be sitting in the bleachers watching semiprofessional and professional teams entertain tired business men. With all due respect to professional baseball players and Provo has a lot of mighty clean fello,ws the future citizens ought to catch their ihspiration and example from responsible athletic organizers, whose aim is single to the best good of the boys. Provo needs a boy and girl1 athletic program. This program is to develop health, vitality, social control, sportsmanship, respect for rule and law and all the other virtues so necessary in a democracy. The ideal of athletics1 as a spectacle should be subordinated and the educational values emphasized. Provo needs the kind of supervised playgrounds that are to be found in Liberty park, Pioneer park and a score of other centers in Salt Lake City. These centers are s where well rounded youpg citizens are being moulded, vicious tendencies thwarted, individualism of the selfish kind smothered and the best of qualities cultivated under expert direction. Provo needs more time and money devoted to educating its youth for recreation. By skilful training and the right kind of social environment a young person can be made just as trustworthy and efficient in the selection of his amusements as he is in his daily work. Vicious recreational habits which last a life time are the result of misdirection and a bad jjsocial environment. Provo needs skating rinks enough for every child to have the health and social values of this sport. Here again the athletic organizer should be found in action. Skating games, competitions, tournaments, etc., , should be parried on. They will introduce into' thT healthfuUwrhter exerCisecertaii? social values which also help make for citizenship. Provo needs an extensive physical educational program In all its schools. It is not enough tp havfe health examinations, to remove tonsils, and to fill out history cards. These are simply means to discover defects and correct them. It is far more important to build strong bodies, resistant tissues and positive health. The New York City child is far better developed and healthier nowadays than the average country child because he is taken hold of like a prize animal being fed and groomed for the fair, and the care shown him bears fruit just as scientifically as does the care shown animals.
