THE STORY OF A MILLER Theres a story thats told of a miller, Who back in this towns early days Ground flour in his mill by the creek Bilk . From the wheat would raise. that his neighbors He got the peculiar notion ' That happier days were to come; And that his work in hi8hull hed continue lit the blessed millemum. Yes, this long looked for period was coming; The millenium was not far away, When all men would cease their con- tention, And night would be turned into day. And he would his labors continue Being counted as one of the good Hed help furnish the means of existence, In the way of substantial food. So he started to make preparations For the blessed millenium; And he purchased a great iron wheel That would ""last him for ages to come. And the mill he made ready for service, curred to us that other words should be chiseled on the slab, setting forth ihe fact that John Weinel was the Pioneer miller of Kaysville, and ground, the grain of his neighbors, that they and their children might have bread ; that he ground his, toll and sold it to the freighters, that hungry men and women, in the remote gold camps of Idaho andMontana ' might live. The poem is appropriate to the occasion of. Decoration. Day, and The Re flex writer read it before the grave of the miller, to a party of gentlemen who met there on. that occasion; but we cannot exactly agree with the poet in his deductions, so far as John Weinel is concerned. Perhaps the honest old miller found the blessed millenium, for it is recorded that the old mill was a good mill in its day, and ground a heap of grain, which proved a blessing to mankind. Flour from its stones furnished sustainance to the clear-eyebrawny Pioneer who carvecl his home out of the wilderness and made it a fit place to dwell. Yes, we believe, John Weinel ground flour The old in the blessed millenium. miller may have had strange, ideas, especially J,ft lhosewhawerft unable to understand his beloved German, but again we say, perhaps he ground flour and perin the blessed millenium, Wedo still. is grinding it haps he looked on his know that men grave, Tuesday, who ate his flour are not these and hundreds of others who shared in that flour, in a way the product of the old mill, still grinding on in the honest old millers millenium in the' ages to come ? We believe the miller was right, though even he may not have clearly understood. In grinding his flour he ground into the blessed millenium by furnishing the best of all food to nourish the bodies and build up. the brain of men and women who have made the empire states bn the crest of the Rockies and in the Great Basin valleys. d, Building everything solid and fast; Each part was in perfect condition, At the Union meeting at Clearfield last Sunday, West Layton Mutual was awarded the pennant for the year. The award means that West Layton Mutual earned the most points in the contest which has been on in North Davis Stake during the past' year. LAYTON Located in the midst of fertile fields.

Early in the season it was arranged that Layton would be bne of the teams- in the northern association, but when it was learned that membership in the league would require the team to play Sunday ball, it was found that much opposition existed. Davis county had never had Sunday ball and the majority of the people appeared to oppose it With the development of the situation, interest in ball languished and it seemed that Layton, for the first time in many years, would be without a ball team. At the meeting on Friday the situation was thoroughly gone over and it was decided that Layton should still have a ball team, which would be conducted as in former years, and the proposition of Sunday ball dropped, provided local support was forthcoming. To this end a committee, composed of James E. Ellison,' W. W. Evans and M. F. Adams, was appointed" to" wait on the people and secure financ al assistance for the ball team. The Ih y8 are in need of new uniforms A - For la thousand of years it must last. But what did he get for his planning? And where is the miller today.? And the mill with its mjll wheel of iron?

It is safe to predict that the money will be forthcoming and that we will, as has been usual for many years, have a winning ball team. Saturday evening an auto, driven by Dr. Greenwalt of Ogden, bumped into Elgin Barbers car, just north of Layton, on the State road. Barbers crt was considerably damaged and the occupants, Earl Barber. and Wiliams Simmons, were thrown from the ma; chine. Both men were considerably shaken up, but not seriously injured.
