ried III by the Methodist organization,
and d unique dedication of a church
occurred there under the direction of
the district superintendent. Rev. w. S.
Shepherd, of this city. At the town
OF Dog Ear Lake the settlers gath
cred together to erect a church, but
they did not have the means to build
one of a modern character, SO they re-
sorted to the methods of the early
settlers and built a church of sod, the
only n of its kind in Trip county.
The men got together with their plows
and turned over enough of the virgin
soil to build the walls of the church,
and it was completed at a cost of 5000.
Rev. Mr.. Shepherd dedicated the
church. Rev. l.. Campbell mas charge
of the work in hat big district. The
song books were secured in a peculiar
manner. The Sunday school superin-
tendent, learning of a oma at Co.

Renewed INTEREST IN LIFE
Something Really Happened at Recep-

Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mics
tea yesterday afternoon detected an
odor of something burning. They
looked at each other knowingly and
said: Poor Mrs. Mize, something Is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger, and at last one
said: ut smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: Mrs. Chal.
liss, look at your hiatt" Sure enough.
Mrs. Jim Challiss had been standing
near a lighted candle, and the aigrette
on her hat was on fire.
The guests had a great time putting
out the fire. The aigrette was what
the insurance men call a total loss.
An Atchison m who has gone to
thousands of receptions says the burn
ing of the aigrette yesterday is the
first time she ever knew anything to
really happen at a reception. She
has given up going because nothing
v happened, but now will start in

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

Il think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but it did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running ore 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent. a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head of hair. l think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere. a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be

To Rid District Of Wolves.

Custer.-From the reports received
by Forest Supervisor lines it seems
that the wolves and coyotes are more
numerous in the Limestone district
than they have been for several years.
A number of stockmen report having
colts and cattle killed by gray wolves
and coyotes and in order to check
their depredations, if possible. Super

hunter. Frank r. Smith. Of Elk

the predatory animals can be killed to
materially lessen the loss of stock,
but it Will, of course, be impossible to
kill all such animals. In order that
this may be accomplished it will be
necessary for every settler to wage
war against them.
From the experience of forest Off

fate of Albert Holmes. the 17-year-old
son of Geo. Y. Holmes, a we'll known

When the boy mounted the animal the
pony became balky, and to urge it
along spurs were used. These had
scarcely touched it when the animal
lunged and violently threw its rider.
After a time the boy arose to his feet,
took two or three steus and then fell

railway, and the main travelled road.
Here we found ourselves in the center
of a Swedish settlement. Those form
ing the settlement were originally
from Nebraska. Invited to put up our
horses and stay over for dinner, and
a dinner that was enjoyed not only on
account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the e~xhilarating drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes of roast fowl, po-
tatoes, cabbage, and a delightful des-
sert, some of the history of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
their own achievements, and equally
modest as to those Of their friends,
but enough was learned to satisfy US
that they had come there about three
years ago, in moderate, almost poor,
circumstances. Most of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as a gift from
the government, and by careful dill
gence had purchased and paid for ad-
Joining land. They had plenty of cat
tie and horses, some sheep and hogs,
and large well-kept gardens, showing
an abundance Of potatoes and cabbage
and other vegetables. Their buildings
