May Ogden High School Notes Today's thought: Music is the art of the pro­phets; the only art that can calm the agitators of the soul.-Martin Luther. The music department scored another triumph Tuesday night in a splendid orchestra concert. A very fine crowd greeted the per­formance. In addition to the or­chestra numbers, there were vocal solos by Franklin Richards and Lucille Olson; cornet solo by Ben Hains and a dramatic reading by Garff Wilson. BAND PLAYS TONIGHT. The band will play at the Al- hambra theatre tonight. High school week music ickets will be good at the Alhambra perform­ance at 8:30 o'clock as well- as at the choral opera, "Martha," at the High school Friday night. The band ias been compli­mented more during the past month for its splendid work than during the entire year past. The former superintendent of schools, William Allison, said: "Why, it's simply wonderful-mavelous! Get a few more instruments and make it the best high seoool band in - the United States. Get for it the reputation in music that the rifle team has obtained in marksman­ship. It can be done. If you haven't the money, let us know how; much you need and we'll get it"-which all sounds very good to us. CADETS' EVENTS.

BOYS' PRAYERS. The author of "A Boy's Ideas on Religion" mentioned in Tuesday's notes, says that some boys leave off praying when they cease saying, "Now lay me," but that others ge en with their Individual prayers. He gives us the daily prayers of two of his friends that certainly bear repetition here: ''Dear God fr;om Whom all bless­ings flow, I trust in Thee; Thy power I know." The other: "O God, help me to be this day in every way a man; to govern my thoughts and actions accord­ing to the highest standards of unselfish manhood; to do nothing of which I should be ashamed to have those dear to me know; and to ever keep before my eyes thfe goal of a life of service, and of fitness to serve." 'It would be dreary old world without the sense of humor, and to me the saddest spectacle on earth fa the individual who can­not or ill not smile," WOMAN'S ADVICE TO MAN. "Every man Is some boy's ideal. Then try to live your life In a way that will make the boy that ia trying to imitate you a real man,"-C. B. A CRITICISM. A high school boy was heard to pay the other day, "I don't like Miss ? 's caching. She treats us as If we were kindergartners." The criticism, If Just, should be heeded, High school students should always be treated as ladies and gentlemen. This note, evidently written by a student, was picked up on Mon­day; "Isn't Miss white today wonder what has happened to nake her so decent?" The teacher who is always, not -arely, regarded as "white" and! 'decent' by pupils will be forever gratefully remembered and that ifter all is the highest reward of ;eaching. THE THREE LS.

Limber, by mough vigorous exercise once in 1 :he day to drive fresh blood 9 ;hrough every tissue and organ of he body. Loving in the sense of mselfishness.
