Old Acquaintance Renewed What a great pleasure it was to renew acquaintance and friendship with Neighbor P. F. Peterson of Richfield, former mayor and business man of Sal-ina Sal-ina and once a legislator. Twenty-five long years have passed since we lived, labored and associated as-sociated out there in God's own country. We are always looking look-ing forward for some heaven or Utopia, but we feel that it has been left behind, way back there where we had it all youth, home, love, folks, friends and happy days gone forever with the drift of time, living only in the memories of gray-haired men and women. But, "You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still." And now, P. F., before the final curtain falls we want to say while you can h ar it, that we had no friend that was more loyal and more helpful help-ful than yourself. When the great Judge shall unroll His big scroll of kindly, generous deeds He will see some of yours shining shin-ing out boldly right close to the top. Peace and happiness be yours until your life's sun goes down behind the purple hills just like it use to set in dear old Salina. The sun and star3 still shed Their light across our way.

In all the years through good times and bad he has never failed to come in on time, setting an example ex-ample in honesty.

A Man With Ideas Neighbor Joshua Ralliston of Preston Idaho, was in during dur-ing the week end and cheerfuly did his duty. There is quite a story in his life. When he was converted to Mormonism and was about to join, he went to a minister and asked his advice. The minister said to' him: ''Don't join them. Their creed is from che Devil. All you can imagine of evil and lust and sin and ignorance you will find in that religion and people." But he joined. Years later he went on a mission and became convened to communism. Before Be-fore going to Russia he asked leaders what they about it. He was told exactly the same ab. out communism as he was told about Mormonism. But he went to Russia where he was permitted perfect freedom and studied and observed the system sys-tem and became more favorably favorab-ly impressed than ever. Andf he says, it has not hurt his Mormonism one bit. He is a man who leads an exemplary life among all his neighbors.
