Lund $1.50 PER YEAR. s Time To Gleam House aiadl Ffepsurd Things That Tend to Break Down Our Power There is a front line to this war which is more important than many realize. That front line is the moral and spiritual fiber of the people and it, as much as the guns, may determ-ine the success of the war. Anything that interferes with, or breaks down this moral and spiritual force is an enemy to be reckoned with. Here are some of the factors that work for weakness in the national effort: Dishonesty in business. Excessive greed for profits Graft and corruption in politics. Gangsterism and the crime wave. Licentiousness and gross immorality, which is the festering cancer on the life of today. Liquor and the saloon and all the hangouts and hideouts and dens of iniquity resulting there-from Infidelity and atheism. These are the sign posts of the grave dangers that are weakening the nation's power, and which, if not repented of may cause breakdown and defeat. And remembjr this: All these things can only aet as shutouts for us when the great dav of peace shall come. A writer in the Christian Science Monitor says, on the subject of spiritual power: "Finding spiritual strenght, we will be betterable to serve anywhere, in this great war, and to keep on serving despite setback, discouragement or grief; better prepared also, for the tas-- s that will follow after the job of rebuilding a world that man has devastated, and the bigger and more important job of restoring and improving our democraey, and of estab-lishing here and everywhere, a way of life that will be just, and Deautiful, and secure in accord with God's principles. ' ... The Spirit Of America By C. N. LUN1 Spirit of America! 'Twas born that early day When o'er the trackless ocean Columbus dreamed his way. Spirit of America! Aflame in Pilgrim sires, It lit the world's horizons With freedom's holy fires. Spirit of America! Baptized in patriots' blood, Ai d giveD life eternal Where Washington he stood. Spirit of Amerioa! Preserved t'trough civil strife, And given to the ages With mi hty Lincoln's life Spirit of America! That dared the danger sea, Sent forth by Woodrow Wilson Who dreamed of peace to be. Spirit of America! Sent round the waning world, By Roosevelt our leader With freedom's flag unfurled. Spirit of Americai On land and air and sea, Brothering all races With vows to make men free. Spirit of America! Liye on and lead mankind To Peace and Brotherhood As prophets have divined.

Clyde Larsen, son of Mr and Mrs.Harold C. Laisen,has been called to take a mission to the Eastern states from the H i cr st ward where a farewell testimonial will be given on the evening of June 9. Mrs. Alonzo (Rhoda) Jensen of Axtell has spent the week in Salt Lake visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Larsen. Her husband and son accompanied her. There's an oftice sign in Den-ver that reads: "Abel Ciook, Lawyer," We're mighty glad that Salt Lake hasn't feot any lawyers with such a name." Ben Adam says: "A man who would stab in the back our great Ally of the North would have killed the Good Samaritan of old and sliould bu sent to a concentration camp or into the front battle line where, like cowards he would die many deaths.

Accident records show that 15 ot all motor vehicle traffic accidents are blamed on de-fective vehicles. This means that defective vehicles are responsible in some measure for one out of every six or seven reported accidents. It was pointed out by George H. Lowe, President of the Safety Council, that this percentage means that last year over 6,000 of the people who died in automobile accidents throughout the United States are dead because someone's lights were too dim, or poorly aimed or focused, a tail llgnc was ounitu uut, uianea were out of adjustment, or some other safety feature of the vehicle was defective. According to P. L. Dow, Superin-tendent of the Patrol, that depart-ment will exercise great care In the selection of stations in the future. The new program requires that of-ficial stations be equipped to properly inspect all safety items on motor vehicles, especially head-lamps. As a result of properly equipped and carefully selected sta-tions, a greatly improved system should result. Incorpo ated in the sticker is the recommendation of Governor Maw that all motor vehicle operators conserve for Victory by driving un-der 40 miles per hour. Now that new vehicles and tires are no longer available for civilian use, it is more and more important that all exist-ing vehicles be operated at all times in safe condition and at speeds that will enable the motor-ists to get the longest possible life out of the vehicle he now owns. Motorists are urged to place their vehicles in safe operating condition Immediately while parts and expert mechanics are still available. o 4L i , ; j A Patristic Incident I In these times it is good to recall from the past j j some instances of pure and undefiled patriotism. ; In Abraham Lincoln"s life there was one man j who opposed him more than any other and that j N j Was Stephen A.Douglas. He opposed him in debate j beat him in politics, made fun of him, bitterly at- - : tacked him on every occasion, sympathized with the .' south, opposed him for the presidency, etc His V j heart was overflowing with bitterness and hate. V j But when Lincoln went to war Mr. Douglas came J forward and offered his services in a very fine, ' and I I repenpant manner. The following words of his ? I hould bJ written in the mind of every American f j today. He said: U j "I have been friend of the South as you know. I have been a party man as you know, but when j Hi any man fires on the flag of my country, there is j i- - j no party, no north, or south, nothing but the cause ., : raj of the Stari and Stripes, and I am for it with all ' i 5 the power God has given me." s . 1 ind '"" " ... tiii " til! m no .

Help These Good People The Presbyterians of the United States are out for wartime prohibition. Their action should be indorsed and given suport byallithe churches. If the people believe the country can go dru nken intoictory and the great day of a new order, they have another guess coming. The drunken debauchery in whichthe nation is wallowing is very greatly slowing down its spiritual-powe- r which is so much needed and (without which the war cannot be won, no'matterhow;great (he munitions.

Utah's Metal is a Sacred Trust ' "T ,r- - , ,4 , ' : - I w r Every ounce of metal Is a sacred trust the more Utah produces, the sooner the Axis will be defeated. Divide and confuse. This Is one of the chief weapons of the Axis powers in their war against the United nations. Much of the division is started in rumor factories of the Axis agents. Their charges are malicious and their ob-ject is to divide one class against another, one of the United Nations against another. Rumors and pro-paganda are one of the chief wea-pons of this war. Regardless of what you hear, re-member we' in the United States are all fighting the same evil and for the preservation of democracy, and freedom. Often innocent state-ments are innocently repeated and fabricated into injurious propag-anda that may damage some Amer-ican worker or some American in dustry. The metal mining industry is a vital part of the war program. V'ithout metals the tanks, guns, ships and airplanes needed cannot be produced in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the soldiers at the fronts. In this emergency every ounce of metal is a sacred trust. Every worker in the metal industry is a vital soldier in a war against evil. Every person must be on guard egainst efforts to divide or confuse the metal industry. Not only is every ounce of metal a sacred trust but every one con-- nected with the mining industry has a sacred duty to perform. Sacri-- flee and work is our challenge to methods of confuse and divide. Not Much Comfort lor Pacifists and Objectors We are fully aware that certain religious leaders in Chris-tian churches teach a doctrine of but Jesus taught and practised militant opposition to evil in all of its manifestations. He could hardly be called a pacifist who took a whip and drove the moneychangers from the Temple, turn-ed their tables over, telling them they had made the Temple a den of thieves; counselled the vitrue of armament in His statement, "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are at peace;" asked His disciples if they had any swords and found two and instead of telling tb'?m to dispose of these said they were enough; who condemned those who take the sword of aggression to be finally overcome by the sword in the hand of the defender and stated that He came not to bring peace but a sword It is true that Jesus went to His death without resisting those who falsely accused Him. But that task com-pleted, He becomes the leader of the armies of heaven and in that capacity John describes Him returning to fight against the agressors in order to establish justice and peace upon the earth. Any true follover of Jesus Christ can not do less than fight for such a cause. Destiny. ; Z U. S.

Wherever hunger aDd heartache is there I hey seek out the needy. Help has been extended in 35 nations. Just how much is the average man doing toward making the path of life smoother or easier for those coming after? What are those with wealth doing in order that their less for-tunate brothers and sisters may go on their way w ith a little n ore security and abundance? There are millions of youths just touching feet to forbid-den paths. Who will furnish the help necessary to turn them back? There are other millionsof boys and girls who, through poverty have had so many of the paths of opportunity closed to them. Who wi.l help them? And who will do something for the millions of little children orphaned and cast out by the war, wandering starving and homeless about the earth? And for the many aged for whom the dreams of life have fallen away, who will sustain them when the government can no longer help hem. The business of all of us should be service to our fellows, to give light to them who walk in darkness, to help feed the hungry and clothe the naked, to help stabilize the weak and the faltering. There may not be money in this but there is something vastly better and dearer than money. Alunite Plant Spurs Utah Resource Deqelopment Emphatic testimony of the fact that industrialization ot Utah is in-evitable if the state keeps its house in order, is mounting almost daily. Utah is possessed of vast metal-lic and resources, some ot which have been developed partially and others which have not been developed at all. Today as never before capital is on the march, seeking out new resources and new places to establish new industries. It is during such emergencies as the present that many industries move to new locations. Many re-main only so long as the emer-gency exists. But if a state- or locality is forward in making in-ducements for these industries, their chances of making them permanent are greater than if they do nothing at all. Due to its vast stores of natural resources, Utah is In a unique posi-tion to gain much from the current movement. Morever, Its strategic location is unparalleled any place in the United States. It is really gratifying to see Utah's public of-ficials grasp the situation as they have and take advantage of the great industrial mobilization. The development o f Utah's alunite deposits is but one of the many industrial developments, brought about by the emergency, but which may become a permanent . established enterprise for the state. While the plant, which will be de-signed primarily for Marysvale, Utah alunite, it will also treat clays and low grade bauxites from other sections as a custom mill. The plant will cost $2,000,000 and i! is designed to produce 100 tons ot alumina daily. The Marysvale de-posits carry 20 to 35 per cent alumina, 10 to 20 per cent potas-sium sulphate and 20 to 35 per cent sulphuric acid: About 100 men will be employed at the plant and mines in Utah.
