This year, the shops in Duchesne are already putting out their Christmas m0rchandise, and what a display! For your student son or daughter, I saw just the gift which will please them, a table lamp which ,has for its base a globe of the world. The shade is parchment made up of maps and pictures depicting historical events. When the lamp is turned on, the maps stand out with startling clearness. In thi3 same shop are some of the smartest wool skirts for school or sports In several new fall and winter shades. The approaching Holiday season always brings a round of parties and dances. In one store I saw two such stunning frocks, I could scarcely take my eyes from them. ,One is a midnight blue satin with a little jacket effect which makes it perfect for either fromal or informal parties. The other is a lipstick ed moire tafeta, with a lovely long swishy skirt, its only trimming is a row of self--covered buttons which reach from the neck line to the waist of the tight-fittin- g bodice. Another store is displaying jackets, coats and sweaters of all kinds for boys and men. One jacket which looked especially warm was brown leather with fur over the front and back. Toys for Children In one shop which was simply swarming with children, were displayed toy cars, aeroplanes, paint sets and story books and a great big pan of the biggest pine nuts I had ever seen. I had to buy some and they tasted as good as they looked. You young men who are wondering what to buy for the one and only, something which will fit into the budget and yet look expensive look over the gorgeous perfume and toilet sets in the shop I visited the other day. In this store, are two of the most stunning manicure sets, one is mounted in 18 K. gold and the other is or hostess shell. The home-makwould be delighted with one of or a sandthe new coffee-makewich toaster. At another store, I saw two electric roasters in which a whole meal can be cooked without being watched. You can put your meat and vegetables in the various containers, set the temperature and time control and be off to your bridge party or shopping expedition and return to find yoi( dinner ready for the table. Speaking of cooking, its time to think of fruit cakes, did you know that you can buy in Duchesne a fruit cake all mixed except for an egg and some liquid? All the ingredients are packed in the loaf pan in which it is to be baked. These make lovely gifts expensive er day- ROOSEVELT MAN SUCCUMBS AFTER WEEKS ILLNESS its Arcadia was i in Lynn Ross of transacting Monday Duchesne business. of the R. G.

Of U. Professor Praises Utah Woman As Peace Delegate The eyes of the world will be focused on the Peace conference to be held in Beunos Aires during the next few weeks, but Utahns should follow the meeting with especial interest because of the appointment of a Utahn to the American group, stated Dr. F. W. Ganzert of the University of Utah History and Political Science department. Dr. Ganzert, who Is a recognized student of South American affairs having lived, studied and worked on that continent, was high in his praise of Mrs. Burton W. iMueser of Salt Lake City, who was appointed the only woman delegate to the meeting. He predicted that she would do much in promoting harmony between the women of the two continents. The meeting will be devoted almost entirely to peace and neutrality plans, with the administration of the United States, in all probabilities, advocating the .extension of the Monroe Doctrine as a collective agreement for the neutrality of the nations of the Western Hemispheres, said Dr. Ganzert, "but it is also hoped that other types of agreements can be reached that will bind these two great continents more firmly together."
