Necessity is said to be the mother Il

A little observation sometimes gives
q clearer insight into the real coho'-
lions than d whole day of theorlZin2
and speculation. And a single incl
dent, observed on our streets tuesdaN
norninu is the cause of this article.
and by frequent and sundrY repetl-
ti0ns, is likewise potent factor 10
producing toe present and oft occur
RING complaint Of "hard times. " AS
we were walking down the sstreet we
observed a team from one OF the larg-
est plantations in this vicinity, come
into town and stop before one OF our
grocery stores. We loitered about to
see the occupant of the wagon take IN
to the store her supply of butter and
eggs and easily grown vegetables, to
be exchanged for the things that can
not be produced on the farm, but no,
that is exactly what did not happen.
On the other hand, the party in quest
ion went into the store and purchased
a liberal supply of fresh cabbage,
turnips, quantity of potatoes, a few
dozen eggs, and a few pounds OF
creamery butter, and we suspect that
a little closer observation would have
revealed that the purchases also con-
tanned few cans of condensed milk.
Thus, goodly bill of groceries, yeRe-
tables and farm products were pur-
chased, which, of course, made bust
ness for the merchant, and, if we mis-.
take not, his heart was gladdened by
recei wing in payment for these pur-
chases, the promise that they would
be paid for when Mr.. sells his
rice. There is food for thought 10
such incidents as this. Until such
scenes become the exception rather
than the rule, this country will not at
tain that degree of prosperity that she
is Justly entitled to. With but few
exceptions, every farmer in this sec
ton of the state, ought to produce his
own Irish and sweet potatoes, turnips,
cabbage, garden truck, butter, milk
and eggs, and, if by chance he has
more than the family can use, there is
always demand for such produce
at one OF the nearby towns.

{ iopha Benoit Meets with Serious
Accident Sunday.

A very serious and what came Rsar
being fatal accident, occurred to our
fellow towDsmen, Clopha Benoit Sun
day morning. Mr.. Benoit, who is an
expert horseman, had mounted y
horse belonging to Mr.. Parsons of the
oil field, which he had to ''gentle. "
Tue horse became unrul y at once and
started On run up Elm street toward
tue railroad. Although ordinarily
master of almost any such situation,
Mr.. Benoit was utterly unable to con-
troll the horse and it daShed M Ann
speed at freight trNtn th.at was pass
In, seemingly thinking that it could
pass between two of the moving cars.
The impact of the moving train threw
both horse and rider to the ground, IN
such d way that both of them were
thrown partly under the slowly moving
train. Although badly stunned by
the shock, Mr.. Benoit had sufficient
presence of min, to grab the rods and
throw himself from under the train,
but before he could jerk the horse out
the wheels passed over one of its hind
legs, severing it above the hook Joint.
Me. Benoit was quite seriously ill.,
jured and at the present writing, is
confined to his bed. o.

The True THANKSGIVING.

hV iTue bhathSSiVlnS.
There is no hearth so bleak and
bare
But heaven has sent some blessing
there;
No table, e'er so sparse spread,
But that grace should there be
said.
NO life but knows some moments
blest
or sweet contentment and of rest.
NO heart so cold but heaven above
Hath touched il with the warmth of
love.
For those who suffer and endure
There is Gods mercy ever sure.
And patience wins a fairer crown
nan worldly honor or renown.
Not In the mansion reared i'm pride
Doth happiness alone abide,
FOR Oft the palace knoweth not
The joys that bless an humble cot
so count your blessings, one by one
AT early morn and set of sun,
ana, like an incense, to the skies
your prayers of thankfulness shall
rise.
Look for the love that heaven sends,
ne good that, every soul intends,
mus you will learn the only way
10 keep true Thanksgiving day.

women in the community are held in
greater respect and the sum OF their
achievements is a record Of the prog
ress OF every notable public movement
in the history of Utah.
Active Women Politicians.
In the interval between the time OF
women legislators in Utah and MIS-
Witcher's notable campaign there were
few active women politicians or office-
holders in the state Reasons for this
apparent cessation Of interest in pub
lie affairs are variously stated, but II
appears to be due simply to pressing
nature OF other affairs and a lack OF
effective organization At ali times
women have gone TO the primaries
and sat in the city and county con-
ventions conscientiously, at least one
third of these bodies being composed
of women A we'll informed state OF
ficiaI says that fully 60 per cent OF tbs
employees in the state machinery are
women.
Through the efforts OF the leading
women in the state the juvenile
courts, the curfew law, art Institutes
sanitary measures, mental hospitals
and homes for poor and Delinquent
children are successfully established
In Utah there is far greater activity
among women in movements looking
10 the public good than in the eastern
states that are without suffrage, This
IS one of the results that make 1t ap-
pear that political life and the ballot
for women are a success

romantic history Of the Mississippi
valley will be brought to light and re
corded at the semi-annual meeting Of
the Mississippi Valley Historical aSSO-
citation TO be held in this city May 1921
This body was organized three years
ago Tor the purpose OF conducting an
extensive research into the history of
the Mississippi valley and encouraging
the study of the history OF this wonder
full section.
The society has had a remarkable
growth and its membership which was
originally composed of seven men. now
includes thousands of individuals rep
resenting seVenty-one colleges. univer-
stiles and normal schools. sizty-seven
public and state Libraries and forty-four
historical societies.
COmmendabIe and Valuable.
Not only has the organization made
rapid progress in its memb ership, but
it's work has been most comInendable
and valuable-not only to the peODle
of the Mississippi valley, but to the
whole United States. Interesting and
valuable records of the early settlers
Of this region have been uncovered by
various members Of the organization,
who have spent their time and money
In this work. At the semi-annUaI meet
ingS papers are read by the various
members who have been engaged in
this work Of research and the proceed
ings of the meeting are afterwards
published in book form.
The first volume, which has already
been issued, treats of the explorations
of Verendrye the Mandan Indians, the
study and writing of history in the Mis-
sissippi valley, the diplomatic cores

and the sectional elements in the early
history of Milwaukee

" instrumental in securing the sue
cess of the movement.
Whitney's History Of Utah" says of
Mrs. Richards: "She prepared the me-
mortal and led the victorious campaign
for equal suffrage at the time Of our
constitutional convention IN the spring
of 1895, the president of the suffrage
association, Mrs. Wells, being absent
from the state. She was elected an
alternate to the National Democratic
convention which at Chicago in 1896
nominated William Jennings Bryan for
the presidency. She was also ap-
pointed a national organizer of suf-
frage associations and spent several
weeks in Idaho working for equal suf-
frage in that state. Among the i'm
portant positions she has held are those
of trustee of the Agricultural College
of Utah, director of the Salt Lake
Free Public library, president OF the
Mothers congress-, and president of the
Utah State Council Of Women, which
she represented at the suffrage con-
vention IN Washington a few years
ago"
Recently Mrs. Richards has been
president of the State Suffrage Coun-
Gil, she is a director of the Orphans
Home and Day Nursery, and in 1909
was delegate to the quinquennial Of the
international Council of Women at
Toronto These offices and those
which Mrs. Wells has held during long
lives of public service and activity are
mere indications of the good which
may be traced to their efforts. No
