A committee consisting of Orin Mickelson and Tumbow, Cliff Marvel Moore had charge of the i we say When entertainment. that Marvel had charge of the cooking you may know that it was good, and with plenty of chicken, corn on the cob, to-- 1 matoes and et ceteras there was nothing more that one could ask for in the way of a satisfying dinner. And added to a most congenial - - that there was group of peowith fun and good humor beautiful starlit and a most night, with a clean flat grounds, and plenty of wood near for bonfires, it surely made a delightful setting for such an occasion. Added to this there were our old friends, Clarence Ivie and his violin, and George Robbins and his guitar. Now if there was any thing else necessary for a real evening of fun and entertainment we cannot imagine what it could be. Clarence would fiddle away as if the sheriff was just about ready to catch him and George, with a set and determined face would resolve to keep up with him at all costs, and they fiddled and strummed to the delight of all. Then when they were resting Neil Anderton would fill in with his harmonica, and there would be group singing and fun ple, for all. After they had eaten and sang began to be to the Legion Hall and finished the evening with a dance. It surely was a splendid party, one which Ed Wilkins and the committee can feel proud of, and they surely deserve much credit for planning such a fine entertainment. and played until it late they adjourned Roosevelt To Have Their Annual Indian Day September 22 The annual celebration which been held for some years Past in Roosevelt, and known as Indian Day, will be held this Jar on September 22.

Earnest Odekirk and his associates have been very diligent in making preparations for the rodeo. Earn has had a lot of experience at this work, and has liven generously of his time and work to make it a success. He has worked with a very ew others in preparing the track for the horse races, and we feel that, thanks to Earn and his helpers, we aie going to have a high class rodeo both days. The livestock, the riders and ropers and other pel formers are all ready, and we look forv ard to a couple of exciting afternoons. The state pullometer was engaged on a pi ior appointmnt, so that we were unable to secure it for our pulling event, but arrangements have been made for a good cross locked wagon, and the pulling match will be conducted in the some manner in which they have been in the paM, before the pullometer was invented. Earn assures us that care will be taken to see that the same loads are arranged for each team, so that it will be a fair test of the stiength and training of the teams. Then there is a big dance scheduled for Friday night in the mgh school, and on Saturday night there will be a most In- teresting and exciting wresthrg match. It is being put on by the same people that put on the one at Roosevelt last week, and those who attended that event were loud in their praise of the matches.

Milk Weed Floss Is Needed Campaign On To Gather It Here Arrangements for the gathering of milkweed Boss throughout l the Uintah Basin iring the month of Septembei were completed recently in a senes of conferences between Mr. Leslie N. Gooding, representative of the War Hemp in iustries and tlie various Federal agencies through said out the Basin, Marden Broadbent, County Agent. "Milk weed floss is a suitable substitute for "Kapok" in the manufacture of life preservers. A large supply of this year's crop is urgently needc d, since the supply of kapok was largely cut off when the Japanese invaded Java," said Mr. Gooding. Mr. Harry Woodward, County Chairman, said that all schools would be collection centers for Duchesne and Umtah Counties. Mesh bags for the picking and sacking of the pods may be secured at ,the soil conservation offices in Duchesne, Roosevelt and Vernal, and it is planned to have them available at the schools.
