Show 1 - I, ORANGEVILLE ... Mrs. Joseph Grange has just returned re-turned home from a trip to Provo i where she underwent a very success-jful success-jful treatment for cancer, the growth having been completely removed from her face and leaving only a very small scar. All her friends are glad to see her home and so well. Her ,sister, Mrs. Frank Carroll, is in town once more, enjoying the company of old friends and relatives. Her health is very poor but, being of a sweet and pleasant disposition, all feel it a pleasure pleas-ure to do for her the little extra things which one so helpless needs. Miss Alta Luke, also Miss Velora Peacock, left Wedneday for a pleasure pleas-ure trip to Salt Lake City. Mrs. Francis Evans and little son Ted are home for a month, enjoying the country air as well as country people a rest for city folks. Mrs. Ralph Alger came home with a brandnew baby boy for the sole purpose pur-pose of having his great-grandfather, N. T. Guymon, bless and give him a name. Both mother and son are looking look-ing fine. Leslie Crawford and wife, also Mr. and Mrs. A. A. VanBuren, left this morning for Salt Ltke City. We understand un-derstand both ladies are in great need of medical aid which they are unable to receive here. Niels Nielson and Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Luke, also the latters' two young sons, Emile and Melrose, are home again from an ever-to-be-remembered trip to California where they went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Luke's son Leroy, who is training at Camp Kearney and who they found looking and feeling just fine along with the rest of our town's boys. All say they would not feel j good anywhere else except right at the I tack of Uncle Sam and they are glad 1 to know, they are able to do all in their power to help win the war. We think a trip to California just to see the great country in time of peace would be wonderful, but when you see such a country at peace and also with the vast war preparations' going on side by side you have surely got a great deal to look at Talk about noise! Well, if you want to hear a racket just run in to San Diego where you can hear all the big city noise on the ground, then, above, there will at times be as many as 25 or 30 airplanes, each one making its own noise. But it is a great sight always, as you can't tell for sure whether or not it is a large bird ! or an airplane when seen in the dis-; dis-; tance. In visiting the great shipbuilding shipbuild-ing yards and seeing all the preparations prepara-tions for war and the thousands of great big fine and strong soldiers, we don't wonder that the king of England j asked how many Grants there were in the country from where the first A-mericans A-mericans came, nor Lloyd George remarking, re-marking, as he viewed our soldiers, that he was glad they were for and not against him. The government surely understands just how to get out of a man all there is in him the way they feed, train, and exercise them is wonderful, and it may be said for the benefit of all at home that there is not a father, a mother, brother, sister, sweetheart or . friend whose heart would not swell with pride and joy at the sight of their j soldier boy. They are all so neat and i clean and look so handsome and respectful, re-spectful, especially when you see them ! salute their officers. They all say, "Tell the folks at home not to worry I we are feeling fine." So all must try j not to worry just place your trust in I God and do all you can to help win the war. Get in and work for the Red . Cross make youselves busy helping ! to back your boys, and create in your heart as strong a determination to "get" the kaiser as they have, and you ont have time to worry. Just get in and help, and see how different you I feel from staying at home and looking I at the dark side. Remember if a I country is worth living in, it is surely ! worth defending, and somebody's son has to do it, so let us stand up and encourage en-courage and do all we can. W. 8. S. |
