Apply Jim ROLANDO 590 Main St. Bingham, Utah i EDITORIAL HAVE WE GONE BACKWARD Have Friendship and Sociabil-ity sickened away, if we have lost a true and tried friend by death is there as much chance of his being replaced in your heart as in the days of yore. If we have gone backward in these great human qualities which are nearest the divine (for friend-ship is akin to chanty) we hp.ve lost the substance while gaining the shadow. To men of exper-ience and alert observation it has been apparent for some time that we are losing. True Friend ship is a tender and delicate flower that grows, slowly and on ly in proper soil. It may spring up spontaneously but to develop it requires the sunshine of social life and the gentle showers of thoughtfulness and considera-tion. Modern life, in general is less conducive than the past was. This fact is greatly to be re-gretted; it is to be remedied if possible, but it must be faced frankly and thoughtfully. Is the American home what it used to be. Do we meet friends now as we originally did years ago? Or are the ties of home life and its influence diminishing. We think new uses and customs have split it up and dissipated its power. With the automobile so handy these days there' is more gypsy life than in the past. We contend that sociability does still exist but on thinner soil, and with less chance to blossom into real friendship. Just a few years ago we used to enjoy the home gatherings where each one had his part to play and every guest gave of himself, these par-ties were always enlivened by the young people who were free and at the same time under the proper restriction of good taste and decency. We are of the opinion that the home is (being abandoned. Home entertain-ment, like home cooking is the best, but it is fast becoming a lost art, and it is needless to add that in the change moral charac-ter in general has been lowered. Is there a possible chance for a change? ' " ' ' " " f Ohio Copper Makes Report In the annual report given out by the Ohio Copper Co. some in-teresting facts are disclosed of which tlie following may prove of interest.
