ALL INTERESTS UNITE FOR J
A GREATER OGDEN.
Our civic pride is being well rounded out. With the city, the coun
ty and the schools planning extensive improvements in the way of
better public buildings, including larger schools, the dominant church
J joins in the movement by oflenng to donate $100,000 toward a gym
nasium. It Should Ogden obtain all the planned-for new things, the city will
be brought well up in the front lines of cities that are deeply inter
ested in keeping abreast of the times.
I When Ogden starts to build on the program of civic greatness, what
will happen?
Ogden will begin to grow as nevei before, and within five years
! the population will be nearer 100,000 than 50,000. Assessable prop
erty will be added by millions of dollars, and five years from now the
tax rate will be less than today, with wise and careful administration
of public affairs.
Ogden should have a gymnasium, and $100,000 will be contrib
uted by the outside in order that an institutiotn so essential to the
health of our people shall be erected.
Ogden should have new school building?, to displace the insanitary
houses now called schools, and the people are to have a long period
of years in which to pay for those buildings. The taxpayers of other
places who are to be attracted to Ogden are to help pay for the
H schools.
Ogden should have a city and county building which would not be
so antiquated as to be considered out of date. Thousands who are
to make Ogden their homes, and others who are to erect large indus
tries here, will contribute to the funds which arc to pay for the im'
Wf provements.
On Wednesday the taxpayers of Ogden will vole to go forward or
backward.
m On Saturday, three Slaterville men, who, it must be admitted, are
good citizens, made the plea through The Standard that if bonds are
voted that "our children and our children's children must pay."
Did you eer hear of any great forward movement that did not ex
act a tax from "our children and our children's children"? Why, the
greater successes attained in business are made by men who borrow
money. On last Friday, Woolworlh, the head of the big string of
; stores which bear his name, died and in the Associated Press report
the statement occurred that his first achievement followed his bor
rowing a sum of money with w hich to begin his career as a merchant.
Well considered borrowing is but the obtaining of a helping hand
I and the placing of a stepping stone.
Does Ogden want a stepping stone or a helping hand?
I THREE WAR CROSSES FOR
TED' LITTLEFIELD.
Welcome home, "Ted" Littlefield,
with your Uiree war crosses.
Welcome, because your war record
will prove an inspiration to our young
boys if, ever again America is called
on' to serve humanity by the dreadful
sacrifice of the battlefield.
The young man who went out from
Ogden early last year, and offered hi
life, if need be, that a great principle
might prevail, and who now comes
back to his peaceful home, holds our
deepest respect aEd highest admira
tion. To boast of what one would do is
well enough, but to go out and do
where those who are doing die, re
quires a heart that is strong and a
Hoiil that is brave.
"Ted" Littlefield must have per
formed unusually hazardous tasks,
with heroic fortitude to have been sin
gled out for the distinction tie hu re
ceived. He must have gone into the
vortex of the fire, where courac. v.;,
demanded. That he escaped without
injury is remarkable. That ho has
lived through it all to return to his
people is delightful.
The Standard notes that the chil
dren of one of the schools has planted
a tree to "Ted" Littlefield. When that
tree has strong limbs, bending to the
canyon breeze, and whipped 1 hi n
ier storms, the war will be an old
story, but the recital of the Osden
boy's part in that tornble struggle
will bo as fresh and thrilling to the
1 younger and newer generations as it
is today to the boys and girls who are
I listening to the telling of the ride
through mustard gas and bursting
hich explosive shells of a rescuer bent
on saving the wounded from the hor
rors of hell.
And, by the way. Ted Littlefield's
mother sent three boys to the war and
was proud that she had three sons to
give to her Country. When the boys
received their mother's blessing, the
skies were overcast and the pros
pects dark. But the mother said:
"Go, bogs, where duty calls. Give
to your country the best that is in you.
May kindly Providence preserve you
to gladden the days when peace shall
return "
France gave to the son a
croix. Ogden should confer on the
mother some symbolic form of esteem.

WHAT POCATELLO AND
OGDEN ARE DOING.
We admire the spirit of the people
of Pocatello, who are wideawake and
possessed of community alertness.
At present the Pocatello business
men and sports are laboring to brin?
tho AVillard-Dcmpsey fight to that city
on July 4. A prize fight is not to be
con.-idered as the Lighest possible aim
of a city or town, but, even though it
be a pugilistic contest, tho energy
shown by Pocatello in the furthering
of that ambition proves how Rtrong is
the co-operation of the community.
It is proposed to pay the tighten
S160.000 to stage their fistic clever
ness in Pocatello, and in addition $40,
000 must be spent for an arefta and
other accommodations. Over $200,000
for a day of sport! That is a fairly
good price to pay to be amused.

WHEN ILL 1
Mm BE REffi?
People sometimes get in a hurrly
for batteries that aro in tli- repair
shop and you can't blame them for
that, sas Manager ChaS. Luckhart of
the BHttery Service Station in Og
den, for there are bin few who know'
Just what battery trouble is or how
long It takes to fix it. Mr. Luckhart
continued :
The condition of the plates and sep
arators or the way the battery has
been discharged has an important
bearing on tho amount of time requir
ed to charge a battery.
The platfs and separators are in
ternal parts, the exact condition of
which, not being apparent from the
outside, cannot be told unless the bat
tery Is opened.
Rut the manner in which the bat
tery acts "On Charge" and the time
required are indications of ita internal
condition.
Therefore, a "charge" is something
more than a mere shop opera t inn. It
is a diagnosis of the battery's internal
condition and when l'n.- by ,i li.uii ry
expert will prove lo be the cure for
certain battery ailments.
The average condition of batteries
brought in for recharge allows them to
be brought up to full charge within
forty-eight hours.
The battery man. when he tells you
that he will take 48 hours to chargo
the battery is ligurlng on averages
and you should not blame him if it
takes longer.
There are comparative points of
discharge. Ordinarily we say a bat
tery is discharged when it lacks the
power to turn over the engine. This
is the "average" discharged battery.
This battery would still have some
current. Rut a battery discharged to
the zero point by a short circuit or
a load, held continuously, will nat
urally require longer to charge than a
battery in which some current re
mains. No battery should be allowed
to reach a dead state for long before
that point, destruction sulphation has
started.
Sulphate of lead forms throurVmui
the plates of a battery when left for ;
a time in a discharged condition. This
sulphate of lead is a non- onilm ..,
of electricity and acts as an insulator
to prevent the flow or current. This
BUlphation form more rapidly on
plates not kept immersed in at Id
Therefore, the dry portion of the plates !
of a battery not properly tilled will
have an excessive sulphation.
Where the sulphation is not tool
heavy, a long, slow charge will dis
solve it. With plates in such a con
dition a heavy rate of charge would'
overheat and ruin the battery. When
a battery man has taken four or five I
days to charge your battery, don't j
complain; he has nursed it through a
critical condition. Just realize that he)
has had to work that much harder to
save your battery. If any one has a!
grumble cpming, it is him.
Plates that aro bardened from the
absorption of minerals in on distilled
water which might have been used will
come up very slowly, if at all The
(pores are clogged up with theso in- j
soluble salts. It the separators aro
worn through in spots the battery will
refuse to take any charge because the I
current leaks away across these pla I
ces. When the batter)' refuses to take
a charge, It is necessary to open up
the battery to find the reason. Da
ually it is found that the separators
are worn at the corners of tho plate
allowing them to come together iu a
Short circuit.
Rroken plates are caused principally
by overheating or mechanical strain
from severo Jolts. A broken plate
cannot be mended and as It will not
operate efficiently it is necessary to
buy a new battery.
MohI people know that a battery has
capacity for a certain amount of cur
rent. If the electrical system is not I
regulated right and delivers more cur
rent (heat) than the battery can ab
sorb, Horhething has to go. fThUl Is
generally the positive plates and on
opening tho battery they generally
show this overheating by the burnt
and loosened active material or buckl
ed and broken plates.
This condition is produced when the
battery is charged in the wrong di
rection. The battery is charged in the wrong
i direction when tho connections to bat - I
; lery have been reversed. This mis
; take Is often made by novices when
replacing the battery in the circuit.
If this reverse charge bas not been
carried too far, treatment niav restore
it but the battery has in every case
received serious damage and its life
shortened.
Usually the battery that has been
reversed is beyond hope, j inn t let
QOVici handle your battery.
