BENSON, January :, l9O7.--On
Friday afternoon, the 4th, the Sunday
School Primary were treated to a
dance. The little ones enjoyed them
selves TO their hearts content. In the
evening the young people turned out
in goodly numbers. The music was
furnished by Charles Strom and Mrs.
Howard Reese.
Jacob Jorgensen, road supervisor,
has had some improvements made on
the roads at King which were badly
needed for many years. If the county
commissioners give him their support
we are satisfied that he is the right
man in the right place to keep the
roads in good shape.
IL is rumored that number OF
prominent Logan men have combined
in a stock company, with the object OF
buying several hundred acres OF valu'
able land on the west side OF Bear
river adjoining the new canal.

John +. Wright, who was bishop OF
OF Hyrum, Cache county, from 1891 to
1901, told an interesting story on
Wednesday of his experiences in Cache
Valley in the first settlement of that
region" says The Tribune. HE said
that of the men who pioneered the de-
yelopment of Cache Valley but five
now survive: Morgan S Evans, John
r. Blanchard, Edward Nelson, Ralph
Smith and John f. Wright. These
men went into the valley on April 30,
1859, and stopped at what is now
Smithtield and put in some crops
They were obliged TO return to
Maughan's Fort, now Wellsville where
there were five log cabins, on account
OF a threatened Indian raid. Later on
they went to Logan, where afterwards
Mr.. Wright'S father, John =. Wright,
laid out the first three tiers of blocks
in that town running west from and

This was done with the aid OF pocket
compass, and the squares were so ac-
curately located that when Jesse w.

No girl would dream OF wearing the old
rush or wooden sandals OF the ancients.
The evolution of the shoe, gradual as 1t
has been, has yet been most complete.
Through sandals and rude footwear made
from the hides Of wild beasts we have
passed, first, to the uncomfortable and
elaborate slippers OF the middle ages and
finally to the perfect foo;gear of today.
So entire, indeed, has been this evolution
that Greek goddess herself was not so
well shod as is the modern girl.
For sentimental reasons, if for no other,
therefore, the practical girl should care
we'll for articles that represent so much
thought and labor and time. Being prac-
tical, however, she would probably scout
this reason and give as her motive for the
trouble she takes TO keep her shoes In good
repair the prolonged life and improved ap-
pearance bestowed upon them thereby.
Perhaps, too, she is right for certainly

The matter Of letting the hand grow old
is one that every woman should consider
seriously and before the time comes when
it is necessary for her to do so. Moth
ing gives away the age like the hands
And unless they are very fat and Of tbs
pudgy order they begin to show age at q
very early date. The hands OF a woman
of 30 have already begun to look old.
Just what happens no one knows exactly
But soon after maturity an almost imper-
ceptible change begins to take place in the
hands. The flesh shrinks away, leaving
bones and muscles, and the hands lose their
shape. The nails crack and grow dark and
the skin gets a weakened look The hands

there is plenty Ct time for IT, and the
hands must be soaked for fully fifteen min
utes in water as hot as can be endured
then the hands must be taken out and put
into a cream bath. This is nothing more
than a bowl OF ordinary skin food, made
little thinner with almond Oil. II the
hands are we'll rubbed with this every day
and II the cream is allowed to sink in, they
will soon grow plump and white again.
a good nail emolient should be rubbed
into the nails every night to keep them
from cracking, and each day the flesh
should be well pushed down at the base of
the nails to preserve their shape and keer
the moons in sight.
Upon every pair Of hands there should be
ten silver spoons. There are no hands upon
which these moons cannot be o,axed to an
pear 1t may be that you have no moons
on certain of your fingers, or think that
you have none, but they are really there

SOMETHING new IN SHOES
Men Turn with Sigh of Relief from Point q
Toes to Wide Ones,
GUN METAL RIVALS PATENT LEATHER
OxfOrds Are in Greater Demand and
the Regular styles VIII Retire
Until Winter Comes
Again.

After a year when pointed shoes were In
the ascendancy, the wider toe returned to
its own and will be greeted with acclaim
by the general wearer, although the styles
of last season were not extreme enough to
cause the discomfort experienced with the
same style shoe eight or nine years ago.
The general trend of shoes last season was
for straight edge on the inside of the
shoe and this holds good with the new
shapes, but the toe is considerably rounder
and even the broad bulldog lasts will be
in considerable vogue.
As the shoes will be made wider, their
length will be made correspondingly
shorter, and any number of neat and at
tractive lasts are being shown among the
early arrivals
The popular leather for the coming sea-
son will undoubtedly be the patent colt, as
usual, but the dull feathers especially of
gun metal will also be largely worn.
The reaction from the highly polished
shoes to the more subdued shades last
year was the feature of the season, and
will be omnipresent this year, and the pa
tent feathers will be utilized more for full
dress and semi-dress functions. 1t Is
claimed by admirers that the gun metal
and unpublished feathers are more comforta-
BILE during hot weather than the highly po-
lished feathers, although not as dressy,
and comfort is pre-eminently the desidera-
tum in all lines Of dress, according TO the
present styles.
Tan shoes will be in greater demand than
during the last few years, as they had an
off year last season, when they were worn
but little Indications among retailers
point TO a much larger sale of the tan
variety and stocks have been hard TO Sc
cure on account Of the inability OF the
makers to supply the sudden and unex-
pected demand for this color Of footgear.
Low shoes Are Popular.
1t is to be decidedly year Of oxford
shoes and the lines of high shoes carried
will be Of the palmer and more conserva-
tive styles in general demand. The adop-
ton of low shoes in this section Of the
country has been much longer delayed
than in the east but little else than low
cut shoes will be worn this season. Their
extreme comfort commends them to ali
classes Of buyers AID the high shoe for
spring and summer wear is now thing o..
the past
The styles Of oxfords are sufficiently
broad to satisfy every taste, from the ex
treme novelties with fancy tops and buckle
to the plain cut lace low quarters. The
button styles will be most worn, however,
and conservatism is the keynote Of fashion
in respect to this style OF shoes The
blucher styles will also be popular and
tasty and the military heel Is still deemed
In the best Of taste.
The soles on all shoes will be Of moderate
extension. the tendency being seemingly to-
ward conservatism in this respect and in
fact, freakish designs in any particular
will meet with disfavor by the more dis
eliminating wearer who desires to dress
with any degree Of taste.

CHINESE HAD FIRST zoo.
institution of Menageries Was Due to
Two Incentives.

The Chinese had the first zoo. Me-
nageries are thought to owe their
origin partly to the cult of sacred
animals and partly to the ambition of
rulers to possess specimens of rare
and valuable creatures from foreign
lands or savage beasts from their own.
In the simplest forms geological gar
dens were one of the earliest develop
ments of culture, and were familiar to
the Chinese, Indians, Greeks. Romans,
and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient
times. The oldest recorded menagerie
is Chinese, dating from 1150 B. c. The
den of lions kept by Darius, as de-
scribed in the book of Daniel, is an ex-
ample of one of those primitive me-
nageries, while the cult of sacred
white horses by the ancient Greeks
and Romans and that of so-called
white elephants in Burma and Siam
are instances of second type. A live
giraffe was received at the menagerie
of Schonbrunn as early as 1928.

A LAND PRODUCING
TWO CROPS PER YEAR
MarVelousIy Riehi Enormous Yield;
Farmers Floc8ing In.

brownsville, Tex, Feb. 5.-Browns-
vile is the southern terminus of the
st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail
way. This line was completed in 1904,
and has opened up to development
section of the richest and most pro-
ductive land to be found anywhere in
the United States-California not ex-
cepted.
There is no more fertile region in
all this broad land of ours than that be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande.
None will produce a greater variety of
fruits and vegetables, or produce them
more abundantly; and what counts for
more, the Gulf coast country will pro-
duce them at times when no other re-
gion can. Two crops per year of the
staple vegetables is the regular pro-
gramme. And yet up to the fall of
1904 comparatively little was known
| of this marvellous fertility. The re-
gion has heretofore been given over
to cattle raising-ranches of thousands
Of acres-thus tying up all this vast
natural Winter Vegetable Garden" un-
der the merciless hoof of Texas beef

But this is all changing and chang
ing fast. Eastern and northern farm
ers and fruit growers are fiocking into
this country. Towns are springing up
ranches have been cut up into farms
ON every hand is the evidence of a
new era of prosperity and of develop
ment along the line of extensive irri-
gated farming.
There is an underlying sheet of
clear artesian water which has been
tapped by hundreds Of wells, and more
are being sunk daily. This provides
never-failing source of supply for the
one element needed to make this coun-
try veritable garden, and there are
those who predict great things for this
Gulf coast of Texas. l am advised
that IS car loads of people were
brought down from different points
along the st. Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico railway by the Rock Island
trains alone on January Is, which was
the date of a low-rate excursion.
At this pace the country bids fair
to be peopled in short order. And al
It needs is people.
