The influenza situation on Saturday afternoon, was the cause of revoking the announcement made by the Stake Presidency that meetings in the various wards would be resumed on Sunday last. The city bishops were consulted with and it was the unanimous opinion of all that it would be unwise to attempt to hold meetings of any kind so the word was passed out and there will be no church meetings held until further notice Natural Water Barrel. Perhaps the most notable specimen of plants Is the water barrel which, of about the size self-wateri- and shape of an ordinary beer keg. Is In fact nothing more or less than a living water tank. Its whole interior Is composed of storage cells sq adntlrahlj arranged that th pulp which they form contains something like 0(5 per cent of pure water. ,,tuu pus uutu oqy jsttf ruuiuimu ejoqj pooii oitx. : po.m.ws j.usu.w pjofi at: Atipqnb pnq eqj, eut!) sjqy .ton HR.u .mi )ou 4ti3iui paoq pot 3 oq) 4 mu 3utpuu 'iujojuo j.ustt.w oqs .4) timid. ;i 4q3U4 4ttq.w 04 jeq pouju.vv joqioiu Joq os puiuja uu uo o3 04 puq pnqo iqi poanfuj XpqriRS iptu 3utq 40, 4 nq dRqoui04UU uu q u.wup poipouq suax pips s.Joqipiou u A'i4Uoej asS PlnD 4S 11V JS-U- Grandmother in Eighteen Days.

If tills is decided best my subscription is withdrawn I would be willing to treble my subscription for a memorial building of this kind in Willard, where my own children will receive the bene.fits of the same, but do not expect people living from one to one hundred miles and aay to provide recreation and amusement for my family when they cannot have any benefits themselves. There is another point which in my mind is worthy of consideration. We have just participated in the greatest struggle of history, lending and in some cases giving our sons that right and justice might be perpetuated. Now at the victorious conclusion of that conflict we are about to erect a memorial as a symbol of our unspeakable pride and admiration for what our boys have done, of, the sacrifices they have made, as a tribute to those few whose all was given, and as a mark of thankfulness and reverence to Almighty God that right has gloriously triumphed. What shall it be? A captain, another a sergeant and another a private. On another face I would have the names of every sailor. On the third face would have the names of those who gave their lives for the cause with a few words of explanation cut Into the stone and on the front could be a few words descriptive of the monument. public utility building, which even am told for This can be built with decades must crumble, or a Y uui'dl-cator- For First Time -- History Stone Houses Have Been Successfully Moved in France.
