' Ivi I well remember tho career of the ' 7 , Standard and all its forefathers, even , jj ' to the first generation. The initial j. ; ancestor of tho Standard was rocked ; i ' 'j in tho cradle enclosed by the old .! 1 l adobo wall, possibly ten feet high and j , four feet thick, bounding the corner of j Twenty-fourth street and Washington ) t: J I avenue, then Fourth and Main streets, i including what is now Wright & Sons I department store and other adjacent, 1 'i ill then known as the tithing yard, and 1 !' 1 1 tho wall was built for protection j ' , T ' ! against the Indians. . 1 , . j Penrose ac Editor. The newspaper, that thero had its . I .:"' birth, was christened "The Ogden city Junction," and was published twice a , i hi I week. C. W. Penrose, now Apostle , j Ji I Penrose, was the editor; Edwin Ei,,J ; Stratford and Y. T. Odell, business I 'i i managers; Joseph Hall, local editor 4'.

I the years obscures the canvas. ' . fji J ! After a Bhort but fitful career, "Tho I I r l ! i Ogden City Junction" was removed to ' 1 'J ' where the Lyceum theater now stands J i on Twenty-fifth street, and that early i i! t5 k 1 home of the paper was a long, low, t yj; rambling structure of wood, and after- 1 '.', ward used as the fire station. II u) t In that humblo abode it lived a , 1 it modest life for a year or two, when ' , y Mr. Penrose became editor of tho 4'l , Deseret Evening News, and moved to , j jp ) Salt Lake City, whero he has since i i 'j !"i resided. Mr. Penrose was a classical I'.i'ilV writer, and successful editor, and ,! ti k ! greatly loved and respected by tho s ' MiU" people of all classes, and he has held lib,' 1 their confidence from that day to this. I ; ; j , "The Ogden City Junction" changed its name and moved Into a recently "i i 1 constructed adobe building on tho J. ,(''' M.

Stevens building, or one near thereto, tii' and Leo Haffali (Phoebus, what I n names) became the editor. But how it !IJ J endured such editorial cognoments and :i 5 V survived is-a mystery, j. p I Frank J.

Cannon purchased the I flfjj newspaper plant and treasferred It to the Peery block on Twenty-fourth ) W street. Frank J. Cannon became ' , editor, and its name changed to the J, , Ogden Standard, and has since so ro- i'; (! mained. Frank Cannon was a graphic , witer of uncommon ability, and ho I j : courted a stormy life for his paper. I Arili Cannon had political aspirations and ) ' CvWl j was elected territorial delegate prior j1 sui.j( to statehood. In 1S96, Cannon was L . jpU ' elected to tho United States senate, L j and I, being a member of the Utah 1 1 i,7 j . legislature, helped to do it. 1 , i ' ' William Glasmann's Control. j-,) I'J, ( During Cannon's stormy newspaper " i-ij j career the Standard forged rapidly h j ahead as a live organ of importance I ( i, ! and became widely known as a bight 1 1 i!j I medium of news and a strong factor in 1 1 j : ''f' I Hepuhllcan policies. About this time i j.; ; William Glasmann came upon the ' J iHJ'i ' stage of Ogden activities.

I looked in upon tnose old grizzled veterans at their noon-day meal and the sight was truly inspiring. Six hundred remnants of a by-gone day wero at one time seated at table, and thero are five other dining rooms on that great government campus. The tables were loaded with abundance of delicate and substantial varieties of food that was most tempting 'to the appetite oven to those of failing health and vigor. Christmas Menu. I hero enclose a menu of the vet erans' Christmas dinner that my read ers may know how great and merci ful is their government, and mine, who givo of their abundance, even life itself, in its behalf, and how ardently with a lover's love wo should devote everything to the defense of our country at this time whilo the Huns arc thundering at our gates and threaten our destruction, that wo may transmit unimpaired to tho future what we, ourselves", have inherited tho greatest and best government that the sun of heaven over shone upon.

Jan. 28. Labor supply and demand in tho United States arc in exact balance, according to a state ment issued today from the newly opened office here of the United States employment service, attached to the department oflabor. "Except for temporary inconven iences," says the statement, "practical ly every able and willing worker can be well employed during the current year and the needs of every Industry can in a reasonable timo be filled up to 100 per cent," A summary of official reports of fed eral directors of zones, not hitherto published, includes: "The priucipal California cities re port the labor supply far in excess of the demand due to tho annual Influx of "Haters," to escape tho cold weather elsewhere." Portland, Ore., and Seattle. Wash., declare that it is impossible to supply the demand for loggers. Chicago is de scribed as being "in easy condition, with 10;000 applied for to balance ev ery 10,000 seeking jobs." nn BOLSHEVIKI TROOPS WIN. PETROGRAD, Jan. 27.

IIIIIIESHIrrrrrrrIrrrEErrrr HlSniOHTHE III WRITES TO , HIS MOTHER H. R. Sherwood, who has been with America's Liborty army in training at tho Leaguo Island Navy yards, near Philadelphia, has written an interest ing lcttor of conditions at that station. Tho letter was dated Jan. 7, and is addressed to his mother. Mrs. S. T. Guthrie, 214 West Second street. The letter, except purely personal parts, follows: "Dear Mother and Sam: Christmas ovo, I went to Brooklyn and spent tho tlmo with Aunt Emily and Sherwood. Both he and Auntie wero very pleased to see me. Christmas morning, Sher wood took me to New York and show ed me all tho points of interest. The Woolworth building, 62 stories high, Wall stroet, tho Stock Exchange, the U. S. sub -treasury, Morgan's ofTices, old Trinity church. In front of tho treasury, stands the slatuo of George Washington dn the identical spot where ho took tho oath of office in 1789. Robert Fulton is buried in Trin ity church yard.

New Year's day. 52 of us had dinner with the Mayor of Philadelphia at tho best hotel in the city. Also we went Jo tho show at his expense. After tho show, Buck and I had a look-around Independence hall. It was closed then, but we are going to see the inside somo Saturday afternoon. Wo find tho people here very nice. In fact, they are more friendly and obliging than In any part of the west. Just the opposite to what we understand they were. "There is no telling how much long- w "v, niu uc iii-iu. i uy suonei i am transferred to a ship, the better It will suit me. It has been pretty cold but the last few days, it has been thawing It rained last night." Tho letter from .this navy boy indi cates that Uncle Sam is giving them sufficient time between drills to bo come familiar with their now localities and make a thorough inspection of all places of interest. The entertainment given by the mayor of Philadelphia also indicates that the big Quaker citv is seeking to make it pleasant for the young patriots. nn mm sent i NOTE TB WILS8N May Be Indicative of a Break in Austro-German Al liance. Count Czernin, tho Austro-IIungar-ian foreign minister, it is reported from Vienna on good authorltv, has announced to the Austrian delegations that the text of his speech on the Austrian war aims was forwarded to President Wilson before its dolivery. This has caused a great sensation, ac cording to the Cologne Gazolto, which interprets it to mean that actual steps had already been-taken to bring about an exchange of views between the western powers and Russia and Ger many. Pan-German papers express the opinion that Count Czernin's peaco in vitation to President Wilson Is indica tive of a break in the Austro-German alliance. LONDON, Jan. 27. The Cologne Ga zette's Vienna correspond'ent, accord ing to a dispatch reaching here, says that Count Czernin, Austro -Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, informed tho Austrian delegations Saturday, that the text of his speech on the war aims had already been forwarded .to President Wilson beforo its delivery.

Addressing the foreign affairs com mittee of the, reischsrath Saturday. Count Czernin, according to an Am sterdam dispatch to tho Central News, referred frankly to tho differences in the Austrian and Gorman Avar aims. He explained that Germany wanted to get her colonies back, and obviously would not consent to abandon occu pied territories beforo securing guar antees for- tho resUtution of her pos sessions. Austria, however, was dif ferently situated. She stood every where on enemy territory, except in eastern Galicia. VORWAERTS SAYS GERMANY BLESSED KISS IN ADVANCE AMSTERDAM, Jan. 27. The Social ist paper, Vorwaerts, joins in the con troversy that has arisen in the Ger man press as to whether Count Czer nin's peace invitation to President Wilson is indicative of a break in the Austro-German alliance. Pan-German napers think that it is, but Vorwaerts points to the, "weighty" phraso in Von Kuehlmann's speech. "Wo are in agreement 'with Count Czernin," as1 proving, contrary to the pan-German assumption, that "Count Czernin's fra ternal kiss for President Wilson re-1 ceived the German government's blessing in advance." j Again complaining oc German unan cellor von Hertling's ambiguity, Vor waerts outlines its own program, based on "the honest right of self-determination for tho eastern peoples, including Uie right to rejoin Russia; tho complete re-establishment of the independence of Belgium and the re turn of occupied French territory on tho sole condition that Franco fore goes her claim on German territory." Vorwaerts asks Secretary von Kuehlmann whether any obligation prevents him from adopting this program. uu FREIGHT CAR THIEVES KILL TWO RAILWAY MEN CHICAGO. Jan. 27. Barney Dolan, an agent for the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad, and an assistant, named Ma loney, wero shot and killed in a battle with freight car thieves in Franklin Park, a suburb, tonight.

LABOR DELEGATION. LONDON, Jan. 27. Tho National Nows says it understands a British labor delegation soon will leave Eng land for tho United States. Theatres AT THE ALHAMBRA. j i Charles Ray in "The Hired Man" Is; just about the choicest offering of the year at the Alhambra. Ray is remem- , bered for his wonderful acting In "The I Pinch Hitter" and several other films J seen in Ogden but this "Tho Hired i Man" is a top-notcher for all of them. Ho is shown in the role of the country ' farm hand, a rolo which only Ray can enact with perfect success. He Is in love with his employers' daughter but between his bashfulncss nnd the reali zation that his position in society Is j not very attractive his poor old heart i jhas a sad time of it. Thero aro several thrills in the picture also and tho I audience is never left In a state of dis interest. This film with the Sennett comedy "The Kitchen Lady" makes a perfect bill at the Alhambra. Many people i have been waiting for just such an of fering. Sennett comedies have ever born the name of being tho funniest turned out by the film making plants and this pclture certainly boars out the reputation. It shows Louize Fazen da, Slim Summerville, Alice Maison and several other stars oL the Sennett studios in a boarding house farce of screaming character. Bill Hart in "The Cold Deck" with out doubt reaches a pinnacle of hither to unrealized fame for as this picture was shown last night at the Orpheum whole show in rapt attention to the superb film, forgetting the discom fort they were forced to bear. This picture ranks among the very best western films ever produced. Its at tention to chronological detail is splen did. There are no discordant notes to jar on the idea of fitness of things western. Tho scene Is laid In the red woods of California during tho late fifties and the scenes do not jump ir relevantly to a later date. Bill Hart takes the roll of "On the Level" Leigh. Jefferson Breckenridge Leigh of Virginia and California, gen tleman, gambler, quick draw man. It is a simple little plot but very' ingen iously wrought Leigh's invalid sister ! comes out to California to him from p their old Virginia- home. Ho gambles G heavily to secure funds to take her to a proper place where she can be cured, p He wins, a big slake and In his spirit of gameness loses It all because a pet- ulant dance hall girl persuaded a deal- a or, otherwise square, to cold deck him. Like a true sportsman he does not bat e an eyelash but goes home to find his a little sister near the point of death. It 3 tikes money and nearly a day to bring a doctor from tho nearest town and & Leigh is frantic with apprehension be- K cause he has no moncj. Ho holds up 9 tho Calaveras stage and robs the pas- I sengers. Another citizen of the town I however pulls a crooked part in the H stage hold-up, secures tho strong box H with $12,000 and switches the blame 9 to Leigh, describing him also as the I slayer of Silent Larklns, express mes- I senger. Leigh returns to his cabin to R find his little sister dead. He then H gives himself up and preparations are H made for his lynching. This does not H happen however. Leigh is too fine a u gentleman to swing. H "Tho Cold Deck" will be shown for I several days at the Alhambra. AT THE OGDEN. I There are Borne pictures being I shown at tho Ogden theater which give M the most graphic idea of the disor- m ganized situation In Russia that most H people will ever have a chance of see- H Ing. One can live right through the 0 revolution, the spasmodic dashes of Russia's armies during the period when she wasflghting and resting al ternately, the street fighting, the trench fighting, the lively scenes In tho Duma and all tho other momen tous occuranccs which wrote the his tory of the Russian republic in con fusion and turmoil. One gets a vivid idea of the vast, unwieldy, disjointed Russia by seeing the thousands of people swarming through the streets, bearing banners proclaiming every possible kind of policy, tho troops, loyal and reactionary, marching and countermarching the thousands know ing not why they aro in lino but fol lowing the leader who has power enough to sway their simplo minds. One can vividly see the trench fighting when the Russians went out bravely to . meet tho German foes and were more than a match for them. Scenes taken right on tho battlefield, showing the ' advancing -troops dropping, wounded' and dead, the rescue of tho wounded, 1 tho burying of the dead, treating of I soldiers in the hospitils and all the similar war scenes, are truthfully de picted, j Donald Thomson was the man who J carried his camera into the thick, of. f this fighting, went right up to the '. front line trenches where the bullets.) were whistling by and the shrapnel was bursting, and his films have pr sented the story of Russia as it bas i never been told in words . With tho war pictures is shown a comedy in two reels. j The Most Jj I For Your Money AND Jj Free Delivery of all Orders p I Amounting to $3 or More.
