those lines as long as the water supply remains not only inadequate but notoriously unprotected from pollution, while no provision is made for sewage disposal, so that the soil is saturated with contaminated material, and while an apparent indifference to these dangers seems to prevail.

The Logan branch of the League is to be organized as a department of the Booster Club, with a permanent committee at the head of it. With such backing great things may be hoped for a beneficent activity on its part, and surely the need justifies every effort the League may make, and the co-operation in such efforts of every loyal citi

Comment.

To take an old idea and give new life RENEWING and meaning to it is almost greater POWER than to produce a new one, if, indeed,

the latter is possible. It usually takes

a bigger man to recreate an old rut-guided institution, whether in business, education, or what you will, than it does to start off some new enterprise where everything is favorable. To revamp an old custom or tradition with altered meaning is in the same class. Yet many critics point to the fact that such Christian feasts as Easter and Christmas had their basis in the heathen religions, and indeed have their parallels there to-day, as if that were to discount their worth and throw discredit upon Christianity itself. Rather is it to the glory of the Christian faith that it has been able to take, transform and recreate such heathen festivals with the

new life and inspiration that Christian history has given them. To take the old Roman feast of the Brumalia, the commencement of the lengthening days and celebrate it as the entrance into the world of the life-giving Saviour, and to elevate the spring festival of returning physical life into the remembrance of the resurrection of Christ with all its spiritual import, have well proved the vital power of Christianity.

There is nothing like getting a good start, and Logan got that on April 13, when several hundred men and boys spent the morning cleaning the principal streets. And the best of it was not the actual improvement in appearance that was the result, but the excellent spirit in which the work was undertaken and pushed through. The sweat-gained neatness will tend shortly to revert to the old illkempt condition, and there are evidences of that already; but in the enthusiasm for cleanliness that was aroused, and in the vision that was presented of what Logan can look like when she's at her best,

there's good reason to believe that everyone will be more careful in the future about letting papers, cans, and rubbish get into the streets where they will be a nuisance to everyone and a responsibility to none.

There is blessing in fresh air wherTHE ever it is to be found. It may be a OPEN AIR mistaken judgment, but it certainly seems true that those whose business or recreation takes them into the great out-doors have usually a larger and broader spirit developed than their indoor neighbors. It comes out even in the casual meeting of acquaintances or even strangers up the canyon or on the river where a hearty good-fellowship takes the place of the formal greeting or blank stare of the town. The soil and the breeze are the best antidotes for all the meanness and selfishness that the close life of the city seems to breed, and it is a wise man who takes what time he can to cultivate the larger life that nature gives. Even though it be but the garden in the back-yard, or base ball, or tennis, after the day's work is over, that takes one into the open, there is a wholesome
