Saratoga Road
To Be Turnpiked
Saratoga 10 BE Made u Great Resort
and u Valuable Asset
TO Lehi.

George Austin came down from Salt
Lake City and met with the CONNER
cial Club, Wednesday evening. The
club took up the question of COM
pleting the road from Lehi through
the fields to the Springs, SO as to
make II a boulevard for both buggies
and automobiles.
Last year committee from the
cub associated with one from the
farmers did several hundred dollars
worth OF work and graded most
OF the distance from the county road,
near Israel Evans Iarm to the
Springs. The county surveyor did
the engineering and many fences were
moved back, 30 as to make Il a
straight four-rod street. The sugar
company did several hundred dollars
worth OF, the improvements.
However, the worst part OF the road
was never completed. and Il is the in
tention now to complete this piece of
road, and when all completed the
county promises to take Il over and
maintain II.
The committee will make an effort

suggested that every automobile own
err contribute money sufficient to en-
ploy one man and team for one
day, which. with the assistance Of
twenty or thirty farmers for one day
each. would complete the job.
Mr.. Austin stated that the new own
ers planned to make the Saratoga
Springs the greatest resort In the
west. That within two years street
cars would be running there. and that
within i've years hundreds of subur-
ban homes would be built on the lake
front there, and that the resort would
be- the most valuable asset that Lehi
ever had.
For the present IL Is planned TO
make the resort an attractive place
for automobile parties from Salt Lake
City. but primarily resort for the
use Of the people Of Alpine Stake.
Before this can be done. however, Il

MUST TAKE AWAY SOUVENIR
What London Hotel Managers Think
Of Americans Who Have the
"CoIIecting" Craze.

Small articles, such as spoons
ash trays and other little things tax
en- from the big London hotels by
American visitors as souvenirs OF
their visits amount In value IN the
course of a year to about s.s0eeo.
This statement, says the E5# YORK
Times, was made by the manager OF
one of the largest hotels in Lie ION.
"The souvenir-collecting Gle OF
American visitors to London -
the manager of. another hotel which
is the resort Of many Americans every
year. "is a weakness which is Fot
regarded too seriously by the prHpr :
tors. No one thing really yal-~-9
Is taken, of course. and the art4rs3
taken is almost always some ht1e
thing bearing the crest or the name
of the establishment. Here Is a nse
of the things which are priced by
Americans and which are regularly
and with quite innocent intentlon-ap-
propriated as souvenirs OF stay at
big London hotel: Silver plated
coffee spoons, china ashtrays, silver
plated menu stands. card trays, silver
plated knives and forks. towels, dress,
ing table trinkets. pin cushions and
small pieces of table furniture. All
these, of course, bear the name and
the crest of the hotel"
Another hotel keeper told good
story of one American who wanted q
plate bearing the name and crest OF
the place. Il am willing to pay ror
this plate" said the American, but II
you won't take my money, wela l
guess l shall take the plate all the
same" He paid for it-12 cents. 1t
appeared that he had been collecting
plates from all the famous hotels IN
The country-not always paying for
them, he admitted-and he proposed
giving a dinner to his friends ON MS
return to America at which every
guest would have his food served on
different plates collected from the
famous English hotels.

PSF Or THE WEsT iNbiEs
Planters Wage War Against Species
Of Crabs That Arc Destructive
to the Vegetation.

A curiously destructive pest OF
Grand Cayman island Of the British
West Indies is found in certain species
of crabs. They not only partake raven
ously Of everything edible, but their
burrows do great damage, and they
fill these burrows with every kind OF
stolen small articles. A bulletin Of
Kew Gardens notes that such utterly
useless objects as knives and pocket
compasses are hidden away.
Eggs from under a setting hen are
'devoured, II not the hen herself, and
SO many leaves of Seeding cocoanut
trees are eaten that to 10 per cent
of the plants may require replacing in
newly cleared ground from which the
crabs have been thoroughly thinned
out. Patches of thin soil in the bush
become covered with vegetation after
the complete driving away OF the
crabs. They shut themselves un-
derground in the early part OF the
year to change their shells, and for
their barricades of sticks and rubbish
they nip of or root up saplings three
quarters of an inch in diameter. An
other reprehensible characteristic.
less harmful to the planter, Is can
nibalism.

SO hot that it must be slipped will often

For a woman tired and hungry after

wafer will supply the needed refresh
ment. A little favoring is an accept
able addition, such as pinch of Gin

used as a face lotion upon retiring.

Masterpiece in Mosaic.

7 At Ivry, a Paris suburb, has Just
died remarkable old man. a septua-
genariar named Ffaissard. He died
in poverty, but had he chosen he
could have become one of the most
famous European sculptors. AS 1t
was, he finished life as he began it
more or less penniless. When a boy
he was apprenticed to marble cut
ter, and he at once discovered his
powers in this direction. For 80
years, says the London News, he had
continued to execute the most beau
tiful works of art, mostly in mosaics.
M. Fraissard's masterpieces took him
nearly twentyfour years to perfect.

middle is chessboard, on either side
Of which are playing cards arranged
