Keep Utah Honey

Outside factory employ

Parcel Post Growth.

The report indicates uhas the growth of the parcel post business has been phe- nomenal. "The experience gained in the operation of the system under the revised rates and weights has shown that a further reduction of rates and increase of weight limit is justified" says the postmaster general.

Jabs of the Jabberwock.

The present conditions of society are giving the Shepherds of the Church" q cause for serious thought. Even the sheep are beginning to look about and take notice. The Brotherhood move. ment" can and will have a great in. fuence in the right direction. A little friendly discussion of subject creates interest and that promotes entertain ment-a most powerful factor in all organizations. "Bar out the Demon of Jealousy" he never enters without per- mission.
 The pastor does not receive quite fair treatment when the pews are unneces. sarily vacant, It looks like implied criticism on the part of the congrega- tion. A good attendance helps the min- ister, the church and each individual, all at the same time.
 A powerful influence will be exerted when each and every Reformer tries his own remedies first. T. W. X.

Frank Allen Goes to Jail as Result of
 Non-Payment.
 Frank Allen, a we'll l.known character. of Ashley Falls, boarded trolley car at that place. Saturday afternoon, to come to Canaan. He was intoxlcated, refused to pay his fare, and was abusive.
 On arriving here the conductor sum- moned Deputy Sheriff Rhoades, who ar- rested Allen and took him to the lookup, where he remained until Monday morn ing, when he was brought before Justice of the Peace George W. Ford. J. Clin- ton Roraback prosecuted. Charges of evaslon of fare, intoxication and breach of the peace were preferred. The justice refused to consider the charge of evasion of fare, on the ground that the offense was com mitted in Massachusetts and he had no jurisdiction, the conductor having testi- fed that he had not asked the man for his fare after the car had crossed the line, into Connecticut.
 The only charge on which the prisoner was found guilty was that of intoxica tion. On this count he was fined S20 and costs. aggregating $35.l5 In de- fault of payment he was taken to jail by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades. The winter will be nearly over when he comes home again

 Sat robed in white upon my knee .-. And heard the merry Christmas chime. "Tell me, my little golden head,
 If Santa Claus should come tonight What shall he bring my baby bright, What treasure for my boy?" said. l.. And then he named the little toy,
 While in his round and truthful eyes There came look of glad surprise That spoke his trustful, childish joy. And as he lisped his evening prayer He asked the boon with baby grace, And, toddling to the chimney place, He hung his little stocking there. That night as lengthening shadows crept l saw the white winged angels come With music to our humble home And kiss my darling as he slept He must have heard that baby prayer, For in the morn, with glowing face, He toddled to the chimney place And found the little treasure there. They came again one Christmastide, That angel host so fair and white, And, singing all the Christmas night They lured my darling from my side. A little sock, a little toy,
 A little lock of golden hair, The Christmas music on the air, A-watching for my baby boy. But if again that angel train
