REPORTING THE ROUNDUP.

N making our report Of the Roundup this
issue, we have not attempted to even touch
on all the good things that have been given to
those attending. And by the way, while the regis
tration is not quite so heavy as last year, due
largely to the weather and road conditions, more
real, profound interest has been manifested than
last year, and had all those attending the meetings
have registered, there would have been little if
any difference in the number officially enrolled.
And while this is somewhat of an aggravation to
the management and those required to bear the
expense of the convention, at the same time we
feel sure that they would prefer to have the peo-
pie attend and derive the benefits of the excellent
instruction given, even though the expense of
registration was avoided, than not to have come
out at all. Those who have attended have shown
the keenest possible interest in the lectures, drink
ing in the instructions with a ravenous thirst that
shows plainly their appreciation.
To give even a comprehensive summary of all
the lectures would require a paper many times
the size of The Record, so we will not attempt it.
We have selected a few of the good talks-we
will not pretend to say that they are the best-for
that would be hard to determine, and will give
enough of the contents to make the accounts of
value to our readers. Next issue we will report
other talks that in our opinion are deserving of
preservation, including a lecture on Homes I have
Seen in My Travels" by Instructor Robert S.
Gardner of the B. A. c., something on the subject
of Dry Farming by Mr.. Paxman, and perhaps
others. The papers containing these articles
will be well worth filing away for future refer
ence.
With an issue of The Student and an unusual
run of other printing to handle since the opening
of the Roundup in addition to the regular issue
of The Record, We editor has been so exceedingly
busy that he has found it impossible to attend the
meetings, much as he should have enjoyed doing
so. And all we can say is, we have been with you
in spirit, even though we were not in person.
The Farmers Roundup and Housekeepers'
Conference at the B. A. c. has come to be a regu-
lar institution that will be eagerly looked for on
each exceeding year, and its beneficial effects have
already begun to make themselves felt for good
in this part Of the country.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

L is LOG years today since Abraham Lincoln,
now acknowledged by all to have been one
of the greatest statesmen and wisest presidents
this country ever had, first saw the light of day
in a typical log cabin in the State of Kentucky.
The story of his struggles and rise to the foremost
position in the nation Is one with which every
school boy is familiar.
We say that he is "now' recognized univer-
sally to be entitled to the position he enjoys with
Washington as one of our very greatest and best
beloved American heroes. There was a time when
Lincoln could lay claim to no such universal pop
ularity. His public career was set in one of the
most turbulent periods through which this nation
has passed, and the fact that he sealed his labor
for the preservation of the Glorious Union with
his blood, is evidence that he was not at that time
honored and revered by everyone. But it is true
of people of all ages that their insight into the
future is not so keen and unerring as their survey
Of the past, and from our present vantage ground
it is easy to see that Lincoln was right, and his
course the only rational one to pursue under the
thrying circumstances in which he was placed.
And the members of that political party which
was opposed to the Lincoln administration include
many of his warmest admirers today.
There is also another factor which makes for
the popularity and alteration of this great Ameri-
can statesman, and that is this: There is moth
ing that succeeds like success" Had the war of
the rebellion gone against Lincoln and his admin
istration-had the Union been partitioned, then
to the government set up by the seeding states
and it's people, there would have been no greater
tyrant and despot than Abraham Lincoln. But
since the Federation of States remained one ma
ton, Lincoln is hailed as a hero by the whole.
old Honest Abe" is the way that he is fire.
quently referred to-. and we believe that the APP
p~elation is richly deserved. He was a man of the
common people, with high ideals and an indom-
liable will, whose self-respect and the dictates
of his conscience were far more to him than the
plaudits of men. His homely countenance has
become one of the best beloved faces that the ar
chives of history contains. Long may his mem
DRY tarry with the succeeding generations of this,
the foremost nation of the earth.

LIVE STOCK ON THE FARM.

~ all the subjects treated during the Round
up there has been none of more import
ance to this section of the country than that of
livestock on the farms. Without the assistance
of livestock it may be possible for the farmer to
exc out an existence on his homestead, and per-
haps benefiting by the increase in value of his
land, make some gain in a financial sense, but in
order to benefit by this increase in the value of
his farm he must sell it, which robs him of the
means of making a living.
To what, then, must he look to supply him
with the comforts and conveniences of life-to en-
able him to live, rather than to merely exist? Is
not live stock the only thing that can lift the
farmer from the hard grind and give him a Gimp
Sc of the other side of life. Look about you at
the better off people of this section and tell us if
fully nine times out of ten they haven't made
their money out of sheep, cattle or other live
stock7 What else is there to bring back the mon
ey to this country that is all the time being sent
out for merchandise of various kinds? Nothing,
absolutely nothing! At the present time not
enough wheat is raised in this county to bread the
inhabitants. We are exporting nothing whatever
in the way of farm products, aside from livestock.
1t ought, then to be apparent to everyone what is
needed to make this part of the state more pros
porous. 1t is more livestock-more cattle, sheep,
hogs, horses, goats, poultry, etc. Every farm
should be supplied with as many animals as the
acres will sustain. Instead of selling your hay,
you should be feeding it to animals of your own,
that can be turned into cash when in condition for
the market. Hold onto the breeders don't lose
your start, no matter how hard you are pressed
for money.
Do this, attend the annual Farmers Round
ups, and put into practice the splendid instruc-
tons given at these lectures and southern Utah
will soon be the most prosperous spot in the West
ern country.

decent and sent some weather that would have
permitted of the visit here of the large legislative
committee as planned for. 1t would have been a
revelation to many of the lawmakers to have seen
the opportunities and future possibilities of this
section, and the people would have gotten a lot of
new ideas and inspiration from rubbing up against
so distinguished a company. Besides, they have
a ward down here in the person of Miss B. A. c.,
whom they should have seen and visited with, by
all means. We hope it will turn out better next
time. Of course, they may come a little later,
but the ideal time for their visit was during the
Roundup when all the visitors from other towns
were here.

to FIR. Larkin to see the church well

FIR. Cassagne has more than amply

mastery and scholarly, and at the

for deeper spirituality in our own
lives, for growth in grace and for
more knowledge concerning the

the people of Mt. Olivet to enter
into this united movement and to
pray for its success. And when We
begin the every member canvas next
week, let every christian churchman
respond as the Lord has prospered
him.
The missionary conference held in
Trinity church on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, have been wonder
full meetings, full of interest and in
spiration. The Woman's Auxiliary
of Mt. Olivet attended in a body on
Tuesday night. The Vestry will
postpone their meeting on Thursday
night and attend the special confer
ence for men to be held in Trinity

service and confirm the class now in
preparation for that rite. A cordial
invitation is extended to all our
friends of other religious bodies to
worship with us on that occasion.

Gus of cooperating in this work, and
hope to interest every Sunday school,

that you secure a minimum contribu-
ton of 10c from every member of the
congregation. We feel that the sue

operation to arouse interest, so that
everybody in your church will want a
share in this work for Gods Leper

amount, but by general response the
result will be large, and the chapel for
the lepers will be built.

told his crony one day. "Ditson is
mighty mysterious and secretive. He
lives at the next town hotel, he says,
but he does not appear there more
than once a week. He disappears
regularly. I'm shadowing him, I'll
have some news soon that will Gust
the fellow, trust me-"
And, sure enough, one afternoon In
q great state Of excitement young
Graves sought his sister In the garden.
She was seated in hammock, dream
ing tenderly of the absent Rolfe. She
was trustful and proud of his atten.
lions, and although he had been very
reserved as to his business In the
town and its vicinity, she felt that
he had some good reason for that
policy.

In a tone of exultation.
Found out what?" inquired Minna
About Ditson. l never liked his
evasive ways. Neither did my chum.
Humph! fancy after this you'll
value tried and true friends like him,
instead of picking up with a SNUG
gler."
"A smuggler?" repeated Minna,
vaguely.
That's just what Ditson is. A regu-
lar member Of the Black Ribbon gang,
down at Bottle Point"
For moment Minna's face
whitened, then confidence and loyalty
came back into her eyes.
NONSENSE" she said simply.
"Is it," retorted Harold, viciously.
TN show you. I'll have him arrested
the next time he sets his foot on
these grounds"
You dare!" flared up his sister.
DO you think l would believe such q
thing as you intimate against a true
gentleman who saved my life, and
who has the confidence and respect
OF our father and mother? You have
never liked Mr.. Ditson, and this is
some plot Of yours, because Of your
preference for that chum of yours"
It's true, Just the same" persisted
Harold, angrily. Il tracked him
down. saw him meet a regular
rough crew of the fellows who are
making the revenue service people SO
much trouble, smuggling goods over
here across the Canadian border. He
acted cheek by jowl with them. Went

stubbornly.

Minna tried to be steadfast in her
faith In young Ditson, but the intelli-

plot against Ditson, she reflected.

ROLES SITUATION
By ROBIN WINsTANLEY.


A rustic bridge with a frail railing
a charming young lady resting upon
It, a creak, a splash and Minna Graves
uttered a shrek and sank beneath inc
surface of the brook.
A 1.-THE. carelessly-dressed figure
that of a young man coming up tne
bridge approach, a shout OF interest,"
and alarm and as he plunged boldly
into the swirling current, Minna came
up choked, blinded and frantic.
Don't struggle" spoke gentle put
resolute tones in her ear, 80 conn
dence-inspiring that Minna ooeyeo
orders and came ashore drippins'
flushing at the ridiculous figure she
made. Her rescuer warded on her e1'
pressions of fervent gratitude with a
light laugh over their mutual predica-
ment, and she grew coherent enough
to indicate that a park-like place in
the near distance was her home.
Rolfe Ditson conducted her to its
open gateway, solicitously made sure
that she was able to get to the house
unaided. derided the idea that he
might catch cold from his wet gar
ments and went his way after an In
vitation to call and meet her people
Rolfe Ditson swung on his way with
frightened eye, for he worshiped
beauty and goodness. AS to Minna,
she could not get that strong intel
lectual face out of her mind readily.
His first call led to a second. These
two were fast approaching a state
of mutual love.
Minna saw in him handsome, we'll
bred gentleman. Her father and
mother rather liked his direct, yet
unobstrusive ways. Not so Harold
Graves. This son and brother had a
chum he had tried to thrust upon the
attentions Of Minna. His sister dis
liked him intensely. When Rolfe ap-
peared upon the scene the rejected
sutton scented rival. Thenceforward
