A stranger lonely here l roam,
From place to place I'm driven;
My friends are gone and I'm in gloom;
This earth is lonely as a tomb:

Now bid this world adieu,
Let life's dull chain be riven;
The charms Of Christ have caught my
view,
The world of light | will pursue,
To live with Him in heaven.

Lamont Will Get Free Delivery.

Postottice Inspectors Shriver anG
Schearer were in Lamont Tuesday
and Wednesday Of this week going
over the town III regard to the es.
Establishment of free mail delivery. We
81 do not know what their recommen'
dation Will be silt in all probability
it will be favorable for at least two
deliveries each day.
The territory covered will com
prise that on both sides of Main
street from the j. f. Jones corner on
the east to the r. J. Lambert corner
on the west. Tenth street will be the
north boundary taking in the few
short blocks to the north that are
adequately covered by walks, west OF
linden the territory as far south as
Second street and east OF Linden the
territory runs to South street. This
includes all the territory inside OF the
boundaries that have continuous
walks, There will be no delivery on
any street that does not have con-
Meeting walks.
Service will be established as early
as possible but not until the houses
are numbered and at least eighty-five
per cent of them have mail boxes up.
No mail will be delivered to any
house that is not numbered or has no
mail box.
Just as soon as we get our requir-
ed walks in, houses numbered and
our mail boxes up, we will in all
probabilities get our free city service.
This new service will give employ
ment to at least two more men and
as soon as the other sections OF town
meet the requirements it will mean

To Reduce Use Of Print.

The imminent danger of complete
ly eXhausting the supply Of paper for
newspapers in the United States has
caused the American Newspaper AS
sociation to send out an urgent ap-
peal to all newspapers of the country
to reduce their output and to sign an
agreement to cut off from their sub
scription lists all possible free copies
and exchanges and to use the soiled
or defective copies damaged in the
press, room to send to advertisers as
proof of publication of the adver-
tisements; also to reduce if possible
the number of pages used from week
to week.
Conversely they are urging every
body in the country to save their old
papers for the junk dealers who will
send them to the paper mills for re-
grinding.
T. would be calamity to the coun-
try if newspapers should be forced to
suspend because OF inability to get
paper supplies.
The United States is just beginning
to feel some of the evil effects of the
war that has devastated Europe.

Scaltled Her Foot.

Tuesday morning as Mrs. Leslie
Cummings was lifting a kettle of
|steaming hot beans from the cook
stove she in some way spilled the
entire contents from the kettle, scald-
ing her foot in terrible manner
She was wearing low shoes which af-
forded no protection against the
boiling water which poured into her
shoe. A physician was summoned
and the injury dressed, but the acct
dent was a bad one and it may be
some time before the injuries heal,
as much of the skin peeled off with
the stocking when the latter was re-
moved.
Mrs. Cummings mother, Mrs. Gal
loway arrived Tuesday afternoon
from Mt. Ayr to assist in caring for
her.-Davis City News.

EVER in the whole season has
N the lower valley been more beau
= tiful and the trip down the val
ley. even if only as far as Ysleta, is
well worth making. Too often in this
part of the world we do not have ga
autumn foliage-our tree leaves just
wither up and fall off But at present
there are wonderful Colds among the
trees and these come out, in strong con-
trast against the many trees that still
retain their greenness Occasionally
along the road are fruit trees whose
leaves have turned bright garnet
There are fields where the corn is piled
in high shocks Then in front of the
picturesque Mexican adooes viii be
gorgeous bits of red-clusters of chill
drying in the sun. The ride is simply
a moving panaroma of-beauuful cOun-
try with our wonderful western blue
skies above and the deeper blue Of the
distant hills all about. II is a glorious
picture. Any contact with nature IS
invigorating and the trip fills a per
son with new JOY in living
The delightful musical, given Tues
day afternoon by Mrs. E NJ Whitaker
and Mrs. T. W Lanier. brought out
stunning lot Of afternoon gowns, smart
fall suits and stunning hats.
Mrs. Charles r LOOMS was an ex-
ceedingly stylish figure in a severely
simple, smartly tailored suit Of black.
worn with a tiny bit of mannish vest
showing. The vest was Of white corded
silk. She wore a handsome white fox
fur neck piece and white gloves and
silk beaver tailored sailor hat with
wide brim but very severe in style.
Mrs. James Vance was another hand
some appearing young matron- She
wore an afternoon gown Of blue silk.
trimmed with black fur. The fur or
nameDted the skirt in three horizontal
bands. Il formed the cuffs, edged the
big deep sailor collar and trimmed the
bodice with big pompom effect, flat fur
buttons extending down the front. Her
hat was very becoming and jaunty.
II was quite simple in style with o
rather scooped up effect at the side and
balanced on the other by a small clus-
ter OF black feathers. The facing and
crown were Of black velvet and the top
Of the hat was OF the same shade of
blue as the gown

anything in the world that can rival
the smell OF brOiling trout over a camp
fire in a pine scented woods far off
from civilization
Talking about camping out. that is
certainly ont time when a person wants
TO be mighty careful in choosing the
