And especially would I remember the lady subscribers not only because they helped to swell the but because they, too, as well as the men, seem to realize what we have at stake namely, the right to develop in our own way. Nor should the solicitors be forgotten, as they dropped their ow n work and labored gratuitously both early and late in the interest of the ag-griga- te, loan. Not only would I thank the people for their generous response, but also for the kind and courtious way in which they received the solicitors. It was indeed an inspiration to them and no doubt had much to do, to make of the loan what it should be and is an unqualified success. Hyrum did itself proud, but do not let us let it go at that. Our beloved country, should the war long endure, will no doubt call upon us again, and again, and again. Let us rather therefore, in the meantime, curtail out- expenses, arrange our financial affairs so that, when - the call does come, we shall be ready to absorb our full allotment and more too as we did this time. The least, we who are not obliged to go to the front, can do, it seems, is to furnish the means to supply those who are with every essential looking to a speedy and satisfactory termination of this the worlds greatest conflict into which we, through no fault of our own, for weal or woe, have been drawn. Respectfully, James J. Facer. Mrs. Frank Smith of Salt Lake City, is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs.' C. W. Selby. She sought our community as a health resort for a sickly child, who is rapidly recovering. the old lady mentioned gentleman, I certainly agreed with her, believe me. Both myself and the horse were gentle enough for the fact that we had come from Raft river, a distance of 35 miles, over- the State Highway. Every few minutes an automobile shot by us, throwing the white clay dust in to my ears and eyes, till I looked more like a miller than a traveling salesman. After we put the horse away the old man showed me the place. Fine green meadows, grain fields and orchards, it was a splendid sight; it was a model farm and home that any man could be proud of. While we were talking his wife called him. She asked him if he were going to stay all night, (hat the boys would be home to supper and the fire wasnt started yet. We walked to the house together I and in talking to me he said: moved from Utah thirty years ago to this place. It was then covered with sage brush and everything on this place, these old- - hands have put there. You can come to my room and stay with me After the boys came home and supper was over, I was invited into the parlor. Tt was a beautiful room with costly furniture, oil paintings and velvet rugs. The children were enjoying themselves with singing and music; it appeared to be a perfect home. The old man came in and asked me to follow him to his room, where we could talk alone. He led the way to a little apartment house that stood a short distance from the beautiful home. We walked into the room and he lit the lamp. I could see four bare walls alow ceiling, smoky, and soiled with age. In the center of the room stood a small table and two chairs, a wooden bed in one corner, and a small stove in another. This was all the furniture the room contained. He asked me to be seated, at the same time telling me that he wanted to talk about dear old Utah, and what it was when he lived there. We had a little home, humble tho it was, it was a happy one. We had a hard time to keep the wolf from the door at times; we had to work in the canyons in the fall - t.

What is the finrs I Mr. Gill is a flatterer, and per- ancial condition of the city tohaps is longing for the company day? How much is in the treaof some of the Democrat candi- sury? Thtse are the vital quesdates, which we believe the elec- tions in the minds of the taxpaytion on Nov. 6th, will give him. For in these strenuous times no one can tell, whether the people desire a change or .not. As to having always been here, and being genuiul citizens, being the only reason why- they should be elected, we say that it helps to know their filigree, and establishes confidence, because they are quite heavy taxpayers, directly or indirectly, and therefore, will protect the peoples interests here, their own interests being involved. As to Mayor Jensens work as mayor, we have rio attacks to make whatever. He has undoubtedly done his very best, and often against heavy odds; for did he not, at one time threaten to resign? Even Mr, Gill himself, according to a letter in the Courier, pleaded for the people to remember the ladies, thus showing his preference. Put Mr. Jensen is too honest and fair to make such claims as Mr. Gill' credits him with, For instance, v.rwe have never heard that he took the credit for the building of the High School. Our taxes are telling us how that was built. What wonderful change, has taken place on the City Park?

The old mans story brought back to me memories of times past, when nearly all of us in Hyrum made our living in the mountains, climbing to the top of little canyons in the deep snow and storm, getting wet to the waist.
