I d I ' - I I 14 " ' I I ,f- ' I i " ' : . j 'i 'I Here is a startled but dressy youngster .complete with ring, bra celet, crocheted edging on petti-coat, and bunny Jim curl. This picture uias taken when the little chap was one year old. He was born in Utah, but not Millard co-unty. And when he was this baby, the family moved to Canada where he lived until he was 16 years old. This is scarcely an r, as he has been here but a scant 32 years or so. You can figure his present age by the knowledge that he arrived in Millard shortly af-ter World War 1, when he was a young man of 18 years. In the meantime, he has acquir-ed a farm, wife and family. He has farmed for years and and in between times been a well driller and welder. What he can weld would amaze you. He has been married 28 years, and is father of ten children. Now j some are married, and he is a grandfather of eight, 4 boys and 4 girls. With all these facts, it should be easy to tell whose child- - ren and grandchildren look like this baby nowadays. Folks say this is a diligent church worker and has long been active in his ward. And they say, too, he is a quiet fellow. He thinks a lot, and not out loud. But when he does talk, it pays to listen, for he has something to say, includ-ing amusing remarks. One of a family of seven child-ren, he and two sisters are the ones that are still local citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Walch and Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Pace are in Sun Valley this week attending the bankers' convention. Quality Market Buys Top Hog, 65c lb. "vsiiS ... ,, i :- - i , ' I.
