The most heroic fighting and the great sacrifices made have not been able to withstand the fierce forces that have stood so well in the North. But with Russia overcome for the time being that force will come against our own country and the British Empire. And what can stand against them? Then we can protest and kick and complain against Japan and Germ-- n any, but without words. Keen Polk Writes Interesting Book Neighbor Keen Polk is out with a new book "The Way Out." After a hasty perusal of the same we will say that, in the main, we are in hearty agreement with all it contains. We are thankful to know that there is at least one man who rests the whole case of economic security and humanity's complete and perfect material salvation on the economics of the Bible. He holds, as the title implies, that this is the only way out of the world's present difficulties. He handles the Biblical economic plan like a master and quotes andcomments on the old Book better than many a minister of the gospel. From the standpoint of the revealed economic laws of God, and the insistance that they be adopted by the nation, he j has long been a voice crying in the wilderness, and a very able voice too. The book is worth reading and may be obtained from the author, or at this office. Price 50 ct Where So Much Of The People's Money Goes , Th'e taxpayers' money goes into millions of pay envelopes and from there it goes in all directions. Right now when the enemy is knocking at our doors we should avoid wasting and worse than wasting money.' At a famous Eastern race track there was wagered on the races in one day S900 000.

Old Acquaintance Renewed What a great pleasure it was to renew acquaintance and friendship with Neighbor P. F. Peterson of Richfield, former mayor and business man of Sal-in- a and once a legislator. Twenty-f-ive long years have passed since we lived, labored and as-sociated out there in God's own country. We are always look-ing forward for some heaven or Utopia, but we feel that it has been left behind, way back there where we had it all youth, home, love, folks, friends and happy days gone forever with the drift of time, living only in the memories of gray-haire- d men and women. But, "You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still." And now, P. F., before the final curtain falls we want to say while you can h ar it, that we had no friend that was more loyal and more help-ful than yourself. When the great Judge shall unroll His big scroll of kindly, generous deeds He will see some of yours shin-ing out boldly right close to the top. Peace and happiness be yours until your life's sun goes down behind the purple hills just like it use to set in dear old Salina. The sun and star3 still shed Their light across our way. Where is the world wi knew One golden yesterday? Personal Items. There are two Marchant names we like to pronounce. One of them is George. In all the years through good times and bad he has never failed to come in on time, setting an ex-ample in honesty. We've al-ways looked upon George Mar-cha- nt as a prince of a man. As long as he is on the state pay-roll we will know that there is at least one honest man among the employees two with Mr. Adolph Sorenson. There are others of course but our mem-ory just cant call the names. Neighbor J. E. Taylor of Lo-gan sat in on a testimony meet-ing in the office Saturday and proved that faith is still strong. He is helping to roll o the kingdom. Dr. H. F. Syndergaard is home again after a 's sojourn in California. Friends may find him at 228 Atlas Bldg One U.

A Man With Ideas Neighbor Joshua Ralliston of Preston Idaho, was in dur-ing the week end and cheerfuly did his duty. There is quite a story in his life. When he was converted to Mormonism and was about to join, he went to a minister and asked his advice. The minister said to' him: ''Don't join them. Their creed is from che Devil. All you can imagine of evil and lust and sin and ignorance you will find in that religion and people." But he joined. Years later he went on a mission and became convened to communism. Be-fore going to Russia he asked leaders what they about it. He was told exactly the same ab. out communism as he was told about Mormonism. But he went to Russia where he was permitted perfect freedom and studied and observed the sys-tem and became more favorab-ly impressed than ever. Andf he says, it has not hurt his Mormonism one bit. He is a man who leads an exemplary life among all his neighbors. Through the courtesy of Mrs Boren, a good woman who goes about doing good, we have four or five subscribers at the men-tal hospital and evpry week as many as 30 read it. God bless them every one. Has Humanity Failed? True peace can never come upon earth until the people j speedily learn to most humbly and solemnly accept the ODiy plan of peace, that of Jesus of Nazareth, which is the truth and must prevail. A Reader Human Welfare Acts That Are Saving and Uplifting We do not know how much good the Farm Security has done for Utah but we do know that those who needed it the most did not get any help because of credit reqnirements. But in the nation at large and in the South-ern States this agency has worked wonders and proved that it not only is the work of man but the work of God as well. It has proved that "lost" human beings can be salvaged, rehab-ilitated and saved, and that it is 100 per cent constitutional to use the government to minister to human welfare. Until the New American Order was set up there was in this country many instances of feudal slavery called share-croppi-under which system poor whites and negroes strug-gled and starved, wearing out their lives for profits for the owner and nothing for themselves. Presidents and congres-ses came and went but nothing was done. Supreme courts said it was ''unconstitutional" to help these unfortunates, so they were left to perish, ''root hog or die " But suddenly a Moses was raised up and he said: "Let there be more abundance and a more decent, life." And verily something was done. Six hundred thousand families were taken from the very jaws of starvation and given long time loans at 5 per cent. (This is besides the millions who were given relief assistance) And immediately they and their began to prosper and soon stood forth like people made in. th image of God.... In South Carolina and Georgia- - 80 to 90 per cent of those so helped were unable to get a cent of credit anywhere. Through the loans they were made Space forbids telling it all but the acheivement was one of the greatest of the ages and would have been worth while if not a cent had been paid back. There were many more who should be helped in this way and there should be no in-terest, longer time and smaller repayments. C. V. H. Says It is a mystery to understand the mind of any citizen Of the United States who places hindrances in the way of sue- - cessfully procecuting the war against Japan, Germany and their allies. The duty of every citizen is to see that every-thing is done and that nothing is left undone to protect our nation and make our defences secure against all. The present conflict is an all-r-- out war there can be fio half measures and j every citizen is expeeted to do his duty, that we may defeat the foes. The present day danger to our beloved country from with-out is very grave. The danger from within is equally grave. But the people will not awaken to these dangers until the bombs and fire' are falling about them or wild mobs are working destruction, a condition which in fast approaching.

Its quite different here to what it is in Europe arrest them one day, try them the next a-nd shoot them the next morning. Belittling Wallace The big papers that suppressed Vice-preside- Wallace's speech are now attacking it from all angles. They say it is visionary to propose to furnish education and milk to every-body and that he is a mystic dreamer. But one paper says in tribute: "He goes back to "blessed are the poor," said by the greatest dreamer of all time; and to that other declaration spoken by the dreamer Jefferson : "All men are created free and equal." Mr. Shaw Knows Russia George Bernard Shaw, who knows more about Russia than its local defamers could learn in a thousand years, has just said: "Since the English Parliament was invented 250 years alio it has not been able to do as much to develop in-dustry and civilize the English people as Russia has done in, every 250 days for the last 20 years " And now her cities, built in beauty ar.d hope, are being buried in blood and dust. 300,000 POUNDS of Utah ' " Candy 4 That's a sweet headline, but it's just one item among many that belong in the story of how Utah chain stores provide an outlet for the products of Utah's fac-tories and farms.

S. army, is superior to the old SpringiJeld rifle in many re-spects. We literally need millions of these fast shooting powerful rifles to equip our army. They cost $85 each and are being manufactured at the rate of one a minute. They fire sixty shells a minute. Every one of the 40,000,000 em-ployed persons in America could easily buy one of these rifles for the army. Not that we need that many, but the reserve could go into shells and other much needed supplies. Buy more and more War Bonds and top the quota in your county by in-vesting at least ten percent of your income every pay day. There's much excitement about the greed that is entering into the rubber people thought they were giving to the gov-ernment for a cent a pound. But remember it can be com-mandeered any time, and it should be. A Queen Holds Court in New York Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands greets members o Colony mt a New York hotel.

Egypt to Be Taken by Hitler You may not believe in prophesy, but just open your mind to the following about Egypt, spoken thousandsof years ago. We give but a synopsis. "The land of Egypt shall not escape. I will bring a sword upon thee and cut off man and beast out of thee. Thy land shall be desolate. I shall give them over to a cruel Lord and a fierce king. I shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea (Suez Canal) and smite the river Nile and turn it out of its course AND MAKE MEN GO OVER DRY SHOD." This is taking place now. The invaders are there arid Hitler will conquer. Open your eyes and see every word fulfilled. .... .... All that is needed to set up a human Brotherhood that will be true to its name, that will live and endure, uplift and save, is, as Franklin oays, to put into all our public affairs and human relations is to pattern our whole social setup after those plain, simple and trne principles of Jesus. |
