LET COMMUNITY SPIRIT PREVAIL
It is hoped that Monday, Memorial Day, will be the
signal for a full display of the commnuity spirit both in
observance of the day in memory of those who have de
parted and in performing a labor peculiarly appropriate
to the occasion, that of clearing ground for the cemetery.
Time and the older philosophies have proven that it is
meet than mankind should pause at intervals for medita
tion. Memorial Day offers an opportunity for its indul
gence. Man struts upon the stage of life but a brief pe
riod, when he, like all animate things must return to the
great mystery whence they came—to be forgotten but for
these occasions when his fellows gather to recall his mem
ory.
So let everyone lay aside his business and join in ob
serving Memorial Day in the spirit in which it was cre
ated and be on hand to participate in the work of clearing
the cemetery.
The liner Ryndham, otherwise known as “the floating
university,” has returned to New York after an eight
months cruise around the world with about 500 students
aboard. During the cruise reports came back to the ef
fect that the co-eds on board had diverted the men from
their studies. Upon returning the faculty denied this, but
stated that girls would not be taken next year, as it was
difficult to find suitable accommodations for them ashore
in some of the countries visited.
Telling what they knew of great men, a* group of
school children recently gave some amusnig information.
According to their answers, Rockefeller is a leader in oil
stations; Wilson signed the contract for the World war;
Lincoln was great because he was simple; Jefferson was
the leader of free love, and Galileo made his pupils invent
the thermometer.
Now that the sun has been with us four days in suc
cession we may venture to remark: “What fine weather
we are having.”
A man is up betime and getteth himself to his work
with stern resolve to fall not into temptation, when lo! a
trout fly getteth into the window and alighteth upon his
shoulder, when the wee small voice whispereth—and he’s
not worth a tinker’s darn for the whole day.
The next Congress will consider flood control, but will
hardly succeed in controlling the flood of new laws.

Former President Obregon will an
nounce his candidacy for the Presi-1
dency June 1st according to tele
graphic advices received here from
the headquarters of his political sup
porters in the State of Sonora. The j

plaining that it is necessary for him j
to seek an additional term in the!

date tiie work already started under;
his own administration and that ofj
President Calles, for the benefit of
the Mexican people.
CHICAGO, May 2S (/P)—North
Clark Street, Chicago’s Bowery, is
passing through a reformation like
that which the Bowery has under
gone. Once the street was the most
lurid of the city’s, night life thorough
fares—a ribbon of honky tonks, cab
1
arete, saloons, ramshakle hotels and ’
cheap lodging houses. Today that j
phase of its history is passing. j
UTAH DENOUNCES
COMMERCIAL TREATY
VIENNA, May 2$. (/P)—Austria
and Czechoslovakia have broken off
negotiations for a new commercial
treaty and Austria has denounced
the old arrangement as of April 15.
This automatically increases import
duties on Czechoslovak goods 150 per
cent, which is unlikely to continue;
long as the two countries are de-1
j
pendant on each • other. Austria, for j
the moment, will benefit in one way, |
?s her imports from Czechoslovakia j
are responsible for one-third of her
adverse trade balance.
BROKE, SO SUES
NEW YORK, May 28. (/P)—Edward
Royce, stage director, is suing Flo;
Zigfield for breaking a contract. He'
lost $100,000 in Florida and is broke.!
Zigfield made a specific denial.
