Postmaster Madsen is very accommodating, ac-commodating, and we sometimes wonder if his kindness is appreciated appreci-ated by the public. Every .patron of the postoffice knows how industriously in-dustriously many of the boys and girls applied themselves in acquiring acquir-ing artistic skill by making pen and ink drawings upon the calci-mined calci-mined walls in the postoffice lobby. Not the best material on which to display skill in pen and ink work, to be sure, yet our young friends never complained, but went right on cheerfully and decorated the walls as high as they could reach without getting on a step-ladder. Well, to cut this story short, Postmaster Post-master Madsen has had the walls painted black and varnished, until un-til now they are slicker than a whistle, and has put a box of chalk on the writing stand, so that all who are artistically inclined may indulge themselves to their heart's content. We wonder how many of our young people really appreciate this kindness? LocaTNewsT Strawberries 10c per box at the Manti Grocery. State Superintendent A. C. Nelson was a visitor in the city Sunday.
