Ill .. BUILDING STATE ROADS.
H One of the big problems of the state government today is the
B construction of roads. Following a clem and for belter highways.
H the legislature at its last session appropriated lavishly to meet the
B requirements -of a bounteous flow of "good roads" money from the
I federal government. Then a campaign of construction was started
which rapidly grew to great proportions and seemingly got beyond
H (he control of the stale board. Expenditures were made in every
S direction, until finally it was discovered that the outlay was ex-
ffi eeeding the available "funds, and on top of this state bonds suddenly
Ji dropped from a slight premium to S7 cents on the dollar, so that
M when the road commission sought? to realize, on the. bonds there came
3 the knowledge of t he Tact that more work was under way and
1 planned than there were funds.
1 'Boards of commissioners throughout the state, dealing with the
m state authorities, met with constant shift oC policy and projects were
cancelled after all arrangements had been made to go forward. As
I a result of this confusion, and seeming vacillation, considerable irri-
H tation has been created, in fact so much so that at a meeting of the
B Good Roads convention for central and southern Utah o"n Tuesday,
fl the following resolutions were adopted:-
R ''That we. do not believe we are receiving our just proportion
D of state and federal " road funds.
H "That we believe from the reports made by the secretary of
H state, that there is a needless and wasteful expenditure of the state
B road funds, especially in the way of overhead expense.
B ''That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded immediately by
D the officers of this convention to each member of the state road com.-
I"We got the same thing that we have received heretofore when
we have been before the state road commission, promises in plenty,"
said M. M. Steele, county road agent of Millard county, following
the conference with the state road commission yesterday- .
John S. Turner, county commissioner of Morgan county, was
also before the commission regarding the construction of the road
between Devil's Slide and Morgan. Mr. Turner told the commission
that Morgan county had waited for almost four years for improve
ments on the highways in the county and they wanted to know why
no action had been taken. The road between Devil's Slide and Mor
gan, it was said, was in bad shape and it was absolutely necessary
that some work be done. Dan B. Shields, attorney general, was in
favor of action and it was decided that a. survey be made and work
be started as soon as possible. t
1 Among the state projects, work on which should start within
a few days, is the Ogden canyon highway, also the paving of North
Washington avenue, in Ogden, from the Ogden river bridge to the
north limits of the city. These two pieces of road construction have
been under consideration over a period of years and state aid had
been promised and repeatedly deferred until a short tim ago, when
the state board Avas visited by the commissioners of Ogden and "We
ber county and a definite understanding reached, followed by the
letting of 'the contract on one of the projects and the calling of bids
tin the other.
Road building in Utah has become a task of great proportions
and from now on promises to give our legislature no end .of concern
in the providing of funds to meet interest on bonds, .the mainten
ance of roads now built and the construction of new highways.
ill WITHIN ONE MAN'S LIFE.
I: Over two thousand old folks, 70 years and over, gathered at
k Lorin Farr park yesterday, as the guests of the church people.
I While the entertainment was provided by the different wards, every
; old person in Ogden and in the county outside the city Vvas invited
3 without regard to religious belief.
;jl These 3Tearly events are considered by many to be the most gra
eious of all kindness bestowed on old folks in any part of the United
States, and this custom is now spreading to other states.
I One of the speakers on the program held in the hall, remarked
11 that a number present were over 90 years, which would place their
n birth as early as lS30.'when the settlement of the United 'States did
J not extend west of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, and that the
J old people had seen the' most wonderful period of development in the
J history of the world.
J Washington died only 30 years before the oldest person on the
I grounds was born, and Napoleon had been dead not more than nine
'.I years,
j Those 90 years of age were 16 years old when the Mexican war
broke out and" 18 years old when this part of America was ceded to
the United States by Mexico. They were 17 years old when the pio-
neers arrived in Utah. m t
Ih Hove, are a feAV 0f the big things which have occurred within
M the lives of those who were the honored guests yesterday,:
HI jn 1S45 the first telegraph line for commercial purposes was
II built from Philadelphia to Morristown.
II Jn 184:7 the first railroad in Canada was constructed..
H The' civil war occurred in the early sixties of the last century.
IH In ,1865 the first cable was laid.
IH In 1870 the first electric dynamo was exhibited..
IB In 1876 electric lights were first seen at Hie Centennial exhibi
ts) on'
B In 3876 the telephone was given to the public.
BH In 1S79 l.c first electric railway was operated.
B In 1S79 our incandescent lights were first placed iii service.
rp airpiane, wireless and the X-ray have come within recent
, years,
l- ' And within six years the most terrible of all world wars has
I j shaken the foundations of civilization.
1 1 Only four .years prior to the birth of the oldest person among
I ; the two" thousand yesterday, the first railroad was constructed and
I was only 26 miles long. One of the first locomotives built was de
I ; signed by John Ericsson, the constructor of the famous Monitor.
' Our old folks, it is evident, have lived to see the greatest trans
I; formations since the day when men emerged the cave to work his
B wonders in the control of nature.
B "
V MAY NOT BE WET.
B ; Facing an issue as perplexing as was the league of nations for
fl : the Republicans, the Democrats in San Francisco are maneuvering
fl for a straddle of the liquor question. On Tuesday the subcommittee
of the committee on resolutions rejected a proposal to put a wet
: plank into the Democratic platform, by a vote of 6 to 8. Rather a
H narrow margin on an issue so important.
H Why not give the present laws on liquor time in which to be
H tested? Why not consider, the subject as disposed of ior the next
H four years? The country was very "wet" for over a century. Why
H not allow the "drys" a fraction of that time in which to test their
H faith in prohibition? If those who believe in lighS wines and beers
H ' are firmly attached to their cause and believe in it, they patiently
H should wait at least four years in offering proof that they are right.
H However, conventions not always are guided by the logical. Too
H often the big appeal is for votes regardless of principle. If the
H: Democratic party in convention assembled can be persuaded that
H! : to place a "wet" plank in the platform will elect a Democrat in-
H; stead of Warren G. Harding, the convention will ,b dripping "wet"
H and point with pride to the saturating of the' platform.

KEEPING BOYS FIT.
One of the most startling facts re
vealed by the drafting of millions of
men for service in the urmy was that
in every three men examined one was
found to be physically unfit for mlli-,
tary duty. I
A great many of the ailments wero
those which might have been reme-,
died early inullfc if the boys had been
givon proper medical attention, or.
kept themselves physically fit. :
it is cstimatqd there are G, 000, 000 1
bovs in America between the ages of
lo'and 20 years, who may be very ma
terials benefited today by keeping fit,
and the United States public health;

in co-operation with other agencies to
Interest this ago group. Superintend

1. M. C A. and the American Social.
Hygiene association are helping in the I
work. It calls for carefully prepared'
exhibity and lectures everywhere it Is
possible to get young men together.
This i3 sex education of a new sort, j
prepared in collaboration with some
of the country's foremost educators. I
Experts have long known that the;
clean" mind goes with the clean,
healthy body. The boys are to be
taught to sit and walk erect and to
tako a maximum of vigorous outdoor,
exercise. They avc to be led away
from the sex impulse.
"Without going into any of the sor
did details, the boys are to be warned
of the dangers of venereal diseases and
of the dangers of venereal infections.!
With the groundwork of physical fit
ness, it la believed much will be ac
complished with the younger genera
tion in the fight to eradicate one or
the grave3t menaces to the nation's
health.

claims of this kind? If you are suf
fering from a rupture, by all meati3
get in touch with a good surgeon.
There is probably no operation which
is better understood by surgeons than
that for rupture, and the results as a
rule arc excellent. Sometimes, to be
sure, the wearing of a truss may be
preferred to an operation. In any
event, however, trust to reputable
physicians, and do not be misled by
so-called specialists who advertise that
they have "wonderful cures."

to Keep Nomination From

JJy JOHN CAT.LAN O'LOUGHLlN.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. No
longer is there any doubt; that it isi
the field against AIcAdoo. I
If the plans of thonc opposed to the
cx-sccretary of treasury are effective
ly carried out, they contend he will
be thrown into the discard. They arc
Inspired by one purpose tho defeat of
McAdoo. Everything else, whothcr
platform or particular candidates, is
submerged in this overwhelming de
termination. They will trade to some
extent on issues, they will transfer
votes, they will do anything and ev
erything they can to ,tny the onward I
rush of the New Yorker. j
Admittedly, their backs are to thft1
wall, and they are the more danger
ous because of this position. They
arc eagerly looking for some one up
on whom the convention may compro
mise. All last night and all day today,
they were milling around, sending out
and getting tho reports of scouts, sug
gesting this or that name and anxious
ly listening to the reaction, conferring
with each other, and In short having
the appoaranco of the old guard that
may die but will never surrender.
Palmer .Men Determined.
The Palmer men aro grimly saying
that if the attorney genoral docs not
get the nomination. McAdoo will not
be allowed to do so. The Coxites are
asserting that If the Ohio governor
should fail tp receive It, McAdoo will ;
go down in the crash with him. But!
the feeling of the Cox people toward
the Palmer camp is exceedingly bit
tor, and in splto of the efforts of the
latter to heal the breach, It does not
seem as though any formal combina
tion can bo made between them. Real
izing this fact, the anti-McAdOo group
is endeavoring to get a sufficient num
ber from each force to obtain the ono
thlrd to insure the ex-secretary's de
feat. Position of Tammany.
The Tammany leaders arc in this
frame of mind:
They came here "unalterably" op
posed to McAdoo. They do not want
him today, but they will swallow the
pill if forced to do so on the thoory
that they can "go down to defeat
with him as well as with any other
man." It is claimed that with Tam
many sitting tight, there are 270 dele
gates pledged to vote to the last
against McAdoo. Only 93 additional
delegates are required to put an end
to this irritating boom. It Is hoped
these can.be secured from Palmer
Cox and Bryan.
It is axiomatic that there is noth
ing more deceiving than political
mathematics. Two and two do not
always make four in a convention.
The Wood and Lowden people can
speak mournfully on this point.
Palmer Shoots Bolt.
So the McAdoo managers, with a
smile of satisfaction on their faces,
eay the opposition estimates mean lit
tle and that it is the pyschology of
the situation which counts. They arc
content because of the panic which!
has appeared in the ranks of their I
antagonists. It is their view, and there
is more than a color of truth to sup
port It, that Palmer shot his bolt sev
eral days ago, and now has only the
hope of efficient and shrewd organi
I zatlon,io keep him in the race.
So far as Cox is concernod, Tam
many, which was for him, in irritated
by what is described as his "wishy
washy" attitude, as revealed in his
telegraphic statement published yes
terday morning.
Among the wets generaly, Cox has
lost strength. To Tammany support,
on the liquor question was of the
greatest importance, because, it is
siiid, at least a moi3t plank was neces
sary in order to keop the organiza
tion strong-nuijcled. What is true of
Tammany is true of other organiza
tions rlsmvhorp Thnl f'nv v.o. n.n, n
majority but cannot get the necessarv
two-thirds is practically admitted by
his friends. They say, and say with
considerable justification, that tho
governor would add strength to tho
ticket, and the moment of official
recognition of his defeat they will
turn their efforts to securing the vico
presidency for him.
The anti-McAdoo group charge
there is nothing to the convention but
the administration, that President
Wilson is in absolute control, that he
has tho power to dictate the platform,
and will prove considerable influence
in determining the nominee. In sup
port of this charge, they say, look at
the organization of the convention.
The ohalrman of tho national conven
tion, Homer S. Cummings, wan made
temporary chairman and delivered
tho keynote spoech. Senator Robin
son of Arkansas, who opposed change
of any description in the Versailles
treaty and has been a constant sup
porter of the -president, was made
permanent chairman. Senator Glass of
Virginia, former secretary of the
treasury, was forced down tho throats
of the west, as chairman of the eom
mltee on resolutions. Wherever the
prospect of a fight loomed, there the
administration applied the steam
roller and placed Its man on lead
ership. ; Moreover, complaint Is made
that the east and south have been
favored as against the west, and the
delegates on this side of the Missouri
are unhappy and to some extent re
bellious. Bryan Against McAdoo.
So far as William Jenning.s Bryan
is concerned, he has reiterated to
friends that he is opposed to McAdoo.
But above all, he Is concerned about
the possibility of Wilson. I heard a
curious story today in explanation of
Bryan's hostility to the president. It
has to do with the failure of Mr. Wil
son to -name him as a member of the
peace commission and the country"

1 league of nations. The Commoner
seems to think, according to the story,
that the president stole his thunder,
and this is advanced as the down-dcep
reason for his advocacy of the ac
ceptance of reservations to the treaty
of Versailles. Of course, there are
other reasons for Bryan's anti-Wilson
attitude But whatever the motive,
Mr. Bryan knows the temper of the
convention la such that a plank must
bo drafted acceptable to tho presi
dent, and ho has givon assurances to
friendly delegates that he will not
make an Implacable fight for out and!
otit approval of the Lodge reserva
tions. i Democrat senators who supported
the reservations are considerably con
cerned over his partial abandonment
of their cause, and they are sharp
critics of the plan he has put forward
to amend the constitution so as to per
mit ratification of a treaty by a ma
jority Instead of a two-thtrds vote of
tho senate.
To go back to the candidacy situa
tion. Mr. McAdoo wants the treaty
ratified without "debilitating reserva
tions." In his heart, Mr. Bryan wants
effective reservations. So boaldea his
Now York connections, horo is an
other reason for tho Commoner's op

rules given for thinning fruit. These rn-.!
rules arc quite valuable In a general
way, uut each orchardist should fig- jH
jure out his own rule for thinning be-
cause his trees are- individual prob-
lems and aro not governed by the same
factors as the trees in a neighboring
county or state. In general fruit HH
should be thinned so as to leave the HH
fruits from 4 to S inches apart on the .JHH
! branch, leaving only one fruit on each fIIHH
I spur of apple, poor, peach, apricot and 1HH
some kinds of plums.
The orchardist will have to study
