U and tho the carriages bringing up tho the rear rea There was a speech by the governor from the steps of ot tho the till tidy little court courthouse courthouse house a a. happy address of ot welcome b by the m mayor Jor and then an adJournment adjournment adjournment adjourn adJourn- ment for tor luncheon At tho the Duncan house fifty people sat flat down to a dinner of or trout trout three e eto to a plato plate with trimmings of various vegetable and meaty kind and some somo of the that you have havo been reading about In your our tales of ot Arabian Arabian Arabian Ara Ara- bian travel but which you OU never havo tasted tasted and and will not till you go to Hobor Heber After that tho the graduating class made an end of ot the eighth grado grade with exercises In tho the tabernacle

gamo game upon It was a n contest between Lehl Lohl and Heber and Heber won won won- by a R. big majority Do you ou think those thoa boys bOs would let tho the first live ivo governor ever eyer In Heber see flee them trounced trounce by bya n a team from farther down the mountain mountain moun moun- tam tain 7 Nol No i Then a drive to tho the rim of the tho hill past tho the house of the white man who discovered ered the valley and valley and he I must have been a proud person person and and back to a n. tidy little luncheon with I some more more- of ot the tho same coffee Just to show tho the first cup was not by hy byway byway way of ot an nn accident Then the formal exercise In the tabernacle tabernacle tab tab- the giving gl of diplomas by Superintendent Ryan Ran and the tho finish of ot the days day's addresses It would bo be well to remember two things In that evening oven even If It one forgot the graduating children even e It If one ono forgot that seven ninety-seven per percent percent percent cent of tho the eighth graders finished finished- which is an unusual record One of ot tho the things is this Superintendent Nelson was os talking about Utah antI and stated that a 0 man In Oklahoma recently recent recent- ly asked this What docs does Utah h stand for Cor And the tho big superIntendent superintendent superintendent replied This is what Utah stands U U-t-a-h U stands for U for Union and unity T for tor truth and tena tenacity t and tolerance A for ambition nd ability and ond II H for honor and ha pl- pl ne floss s. s And I dont don't know but that Is th going to H Heber ber to hear even It If IC wore were noth else ln But Dut ther was something Colonel Kessler was as called on on die chiefly Y I think bec because he next he-next next to COlon Colons Rodney Ba Badger ger best displays th the imposing splendor of the tho staff uniform uniform uni uni- form and he surprised h by giving them about tho the niftiest minute five-minute speech they will listen to anywhere In th the course courso of or it it Colonel Kessler said There is a sentiment expressed y the tho at the christening of ot their children and It runs this way Little one when you OU camo came Inthe in inthe the tho world you were weeping while all nIl about you OU smiled So conduct yourself through life that when whon you come to tho the end of ot It you may go smiling while all about you OU shall shaH weep Which is pretty prett nearly worth while too And after tho the young oung people re received received re- re their diplomas adjournment was taken to the tho amusement han hall where a n. good band provided music and where somo some three hundred people peo pee plo danced And the they liked the floor and the tho music and the company BO so BOwell sowell o owell well that they didn't quit until one o'clock In tho the morning And at seven the train brought tho company down to Provo where they took tho the main line lino home Tho The trip was delightful Those words sound tame and empty But no language that careful man could employ would adequately express ss either the tho beauties of ot tho the valley alley the evident happy huppy circumstances of ot Its Ilc people or the tho royal roal welcome with which the governor and his party were received They like the governor Ono One woman woman wo 0 wo- wo man said lie He seems like 1110 such a n good man such a a. genuine man It Itis Itla la is too bad that he vetoed tho the prohibition prohibition prohibition tion bill When told that Governor Spry never vetoed an any prohibition bill that no such bill was ever passed up to him b by tho the legislature sho she was glad because she sho wanted wante-d to think well vell of ot the man man and yet jet ct her sentiments are In favor or of ot prohibition Someone had deceived her But the they will vill not do It again People raise sheep and alfalfa and some grain In Wasatch More oro than thana a a. quarter million head of sheep r vas oas a turo ture on those excellent ranges There Is ha hay enough on the meadows to keep all the tho circuses in the world worM and there thero is so much grain that Hebr Heber bread
