Show ORANGEVILLE Clair Oliphant, one of our soldier boys who left here the third of last October for the training camp and was transferred to the 143d (California) artillery, has returned home for a short furlough. He underwent a very ' serious operation some time ago and has come home until he gets his strength back. He is looking fine, considering his eondition. and Is heart and soul in his work helping Uncle Sam. Of course he is glad to see his dear old mother v.1 ho is an invalid and all in this world to him. He Is also i-'lad to see all his people and friends who are very numerous, and we are all glad to see him and can plainly see that he makes just as good a soldier sol-dier boy 83 he always has been a farmer far-mer boy. We are indeed proud of him. Upon telling him so he expressed ex-pressed his thanks and said we could well be proud of all the rest of the boys. They are all trying to do their best to truly represent our grand old state Utah, he said, and to show Uncle Sam and our nation that no better blood flows than that of our Utah boys. The cleaning up of our cemetery was a grand success. There was a good turnout and everybody enjoyed the work, knowing that they were doing do-ing something to make the resting place of our loved ones look so nice and clean. There Is some talk of getting get-ting the water piped to our cemetery and, if this is done, we shall surely have a beautiful place for the soil and location is ideal. Say, what is the matter with our city fathers? Why not have a big cleaning up? The Ladies Aid club sent them a challenge two weeks ago to get busy but have not heard any thing about it yet. Hurry up, boys, everybody Is anxious to help you if you will just start out.
