Our oldest citizen, Brother

other world on the evening of
the 14th. He was born July LIST.
1919, at Hyland. Falster, Den
mark. He came to Parowan in
1857 with his wife and son and
daughter. In his younger days
he was an Industrious, broad
minded, cheerful and hospit BILE
person, and many times he as
sisted in caring for the peddler
from the southern part of our
country; many times he be-
friended the poor and needy in
the early days. He not only be-
lieved in the Golden rule but
practiced it in his daily life. In
late years he has been quite
feeble but his heart was un-
changed to the last and the large
attendance at the funeral showed
that his long life had not been
in vain. He is the father of 9
children, has 40 grand children

children.

Most of our citizens will APP
preciate the fact that Mr.. Car
negie he's informed the mayor of
Cedar City that he will gladly
give $40, 600 for a library build
ing providing the plans for the
same meet the approval of the
Carnegie corporation. There is
no doubt that the suggestions
offered will be compiled with.
We already have a splendid
collection of books yet the show
ing will be somewhat meager in
comparison with the building.
The library organizer who re-
Gently gave US some preliminary
ideas in regards to conducting
orr work in accordance with the
American Library Association
methods, made some very happy
suggestions in which we should
unite to bring about realization.
We will introduce just one
thought in this brief paper, that
of collecting all literature, curios
and relics pertaining to Utah,
her people and belief. Mrs.
Jacobson congratulated the Ii
brary board on having such a
large number of the Millenial
Star and advised taking steps to
complete the entire publication
up to date, also to secure the
Faith Promoting series as they
are out of print, and other works
pertaining to pioneer life and
the Mormon religion as well as
complete files of our local paper.
1t is probable that q call will be
made sooner or later for any and
everything of pioneer history
that has been preserved for
our relic room, hence it would
be we'll for every lover of Iron
County history to make a study
of what he can do for the es-
tablishing and promotion of such
a patriotic movement.

Z tory, which has dark meat on the
breast. As for the "Ocellated" turkey,
il is, as already explained, very mark
eddy different from either, and the modi-
ficatiOns when the introduction of its
( blood into the farm yard strain may
produce are entirely open to conject-
ure.
No existing animal has been modified
by breeding to anything like such an
extent as the species OF East Indian
pheasant which today, in its altered
and WOnderfully-varied forms, we call
the chicken. But the giant Mexican
pheasant known as the turkey has un-
cergOne some striking changes lnciden-
tai to its dOmesticatiOn in this country
1t has been split up, as one might say,
into no fewer than six recognized vari-
eties-the bronze" the buff the
4 slate, the black" the -Narragan-
sett" and the white" These differ
markedly in plumage, OF course. But
the white is nothing more nor less
than an albino type, perpetuated, like
the white rabbit from the white mouse,
by selection through series of gen
.erauOns.
Turkey raisers are accustomed to keep
their heaviest fowls from year to year
Tor breeding purposes, and by this sim
pie method OF selection the size Of the
bird has been much increased. Thus
the turkey weighing 40 pounds is moth
ing very extraordinary. But, if one
would see giant turkeys, one should

Z wild turkey is a species confined to

keys are VIGOROUSLY hard to raise, and
many farmers are glad to sell them at
this stage Of their growth. in prefer
ence to keeping them until they are
mature, and taking the Incidental
chance Of losing them. Dealers say
that if farmers cauld find a way to
force turkeys as they do chickens,
they could get almost any price for
them in the summer time from wealthy
customers.
Demand for Guinea Fowls.
The turkeys nearest relative, the
guinea-fOWl is gaining steadily aug
mented appreciation as a table bird ap-
prOpriate TO the Thanksgiving season.

bling that of the partridge, and some

command a high price in the market
This bird, originally fetched from Al
RIGA, has never become more than half
domesticated, and to this day it rOams
wild in 1Ocks over much of the island
of Jamaica. There is money in breed
ing and rearing guinea fowls and our
own Department of Agriculture is adj
vising American farmers to go into the
business on reasonably extensive
scale. If q fertile cross between this
species and the turkey can be obtained,
new and valuable kind of poultry
will contribute to the profit Of the
working agriculturist and to the appe-
tite of the bon vivant.

As everybody knows, the turkey be-

adjacent portion Of Guatemala and
British Honduras.
Beautiful PIumage.
The "ocelIated" turkey is a bird Of
much more varied and beautiful plum
age than either of the others. 1t is, in
deed, rivalled in these respects by few
feathered creatures. When one says
that its bare head and neck are deep
blue, covered with bright red wart-like
eXcrescences, that its back and rump
are blue tipped with red that its wing
cOverts are deep red in color and that
its bill, legs and feet are likewise red

For many centuries this gorgeous
fowl has been hunted by the abOrigines
of the regions in which it is found. and
IN consequence, 1t has become extra
ordinarily shy-sO much so, indeed, that
according to the testimony of natural
lists few birds are so difficult to ap-
prOach. Yet 1t is not, like our own wild
turkey, denizen of dense forests, but
rather frequenter of the edges of
clearings, and Of such places as the
borders of corn fields.
Its habits IN general way, however
are much like those Of our wild turkey.
It rOosts in trees, and builds its nest
in a fashion similar to that Of its North
American congener. One of its pecu-
liarities is song which is like that Of
no other bird, and which is described as
resembling the rapid pecklug of a ais
tant WOOdpecker.

native to Southern India, and which to-

as the red game" The much esteemed
guinea fowl, too, is a pheasant, and is
more closely related to the turkey chan
any other existing bird. Thus it will
be understood why accidental crosses
between turkeys and guinea fowls once

To go back to the early Spaniards, it
is a matter of history th.-t they took
with them to Spain, where they were
bred. If tradition lies nOI, the first
occasion on which the great American
bird was served as a able delicacy in
Europe was at the wedding of Charles
X, in the year 1870
Evidently the merits of the fowl
gained quick appreciation, IOT before

ECZEMA DISFlGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disiigured very muCh.- We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised He has
