Annie Reynolds of Spokane. Wash
Mrs Allie Bowles of New London
and Mrs. Dora Elliott of Monroe
City could not be present. 1t had
been hoped to have all his children
present. but health and weather
conditions would not permit.
1t was a happy occasion and
thoroughly enjoyed by those pres

mile and a half west OF SpaldiDg

now one Of the best in the county

Cheese for Dessert,

II is said that little cheese at the
end Of a dinner acts as a digestive
agent, but whether or not this Is
true. no well appointed dinner is
without 1t. In many homes q bit OF
cheese with an accompanying fruit
or jelly, is used as a dessert instead
OF some pudding or pie. II is Just a
sufficient finish to family dinner

not cut a roquetort cheese until 1t ia

both of which are favorite cheeses

Jap Statesman Of Prominence.

Governor Hattori OF Hyogo prefec-
ture, who was among those awarded
honors at the coronation of the EN-
peror of Japan, has held his post since
1900. a unique distinction among his
subernatorial confreres. The happy
relations which he enjoys with all off,
cial and private classes in Hyogo pre-
lecture have caused him to repeatedly
decline offers Of promotion, by which
he might have held a seat in the cabi-
net and exercised diplomatic abilities
in higher and more stormy spheres.
He was born in 1851 and is a graduate
OF an American college, Rutgers, from
which he received the degree In the
'70s of bachelor OF commerce. He
was nominated member of the house
of peers in 1903.

Much Beef Goes to Waste,

Although various estimates place
the number of cattle in Paraguay all
the way from one to four million head.
the cattle industry. with untold posi-
bilities, is scarcely out of the stage
when the animals are slaughtered for
their hides alone. While all the world
is clamoring for meat, cattle in Para.
quay sell for but little more than what
their skins will bring.

A Tragedy of the Blizzard

The body of John ID. Morrill,, su-
perintendent of the state fish hatch
cry at Blue Lake, was brought to
Panguitch. Utah. according to ad-
vices received at Marysyale. 1t was
accompanied from the fish hatchery
by the widow and the family of five
young children, who had been stay
ing at the hatchery. 1t was in an eff
fort to reach his family from Pan
guitch that Mr.. Morrill, lost his life
in the blizzard that ragged over that
part of the country Thursday and
Friday.
Mr.. Morrill's body was found with
in 500 yards of the Prince ranch,
owned by William Prince of Pan
guitch, by the party which went in
search for him. Apparently he had
been endeavoring TO reach the shell
ter of the ranch buildings, which are
not occupied at this season. but are
of substantial character. IL Is be-
lieyed he lost his way in the blizzard
and darkness of Thursday evening
and was unable to regain the road,
although he was not far from safety.
When last seen Mr.. Morrill, was
leaving the Tom Sevy ranch, travel
ing with snowshoes. The road fol-
lows Panguitch creek and skirts the
shore of the lake. From the fact
that he did not stop at the Montague
ranch. ar abandoned resort, which
is a mile nearer to the Sevy ranch
than the Prince ranch buildings, 1t
is supposed that he attempted to ave
time and about Two miles of distance
by proceeding directly across the lake
on the ice, rather than by following
the road around the shore of the
lake. 1t is believed he became con-
fused in crossing the lake, and that
this was the cause of his failure to

Col. Roosevelt Says Public Men Fear
German-American Vote

Theodore Roosevelt discussed
Promise and Performance in Inter-
national Relations" before the
Brooklyn Institute of Art and Sci
enees in Brooklyn Sunday night. In
his address he said:
"A year ago this government no.
titled Germany hat it would hold her
to strict accountability If she sank
passenger ships and murdered women
and children. Again and again in
countemptuous defiance of this warn
ing Germany has sunk these ships
and killed non-combatants until the
number mounts up into the thou
sands. Whether the acts were done
by German submarines or Austrian
submarines, or, as is now claimed.
by Turkish submarines, or as may
possibly be claimed in the future,
by Bulgarian submarines, represents
merely the contemptuous desire OF
Germany-the directing mind of the
central powers-to give this govern
ment a chance to crawl out of max
ing good its fine words.
I'VE took no effective action what
yer to stop these repeated murders.
They were finally stopped simply be-
cause the British fleet destroyed SO
many submarines that the warfare
ceased being profitable to Germany.
"At the same time the German
and Austrian governments, through
their accredited representatives in
the embassies here, have carried on a
campaign of the bomb and torch
against our industries.
THE action our government
should have taken in view of this
campaign was not merely action
against Dumba, Won Papen and Boy
ed, but the holding of the German
and Austrian governments them
selves responsible for every munition
plant that was damaged. Yet, now
1t is announced we are to accept
money for the death of our women
and children and in return are to
play the game of the murderers of
those women and children by acting
In their interest against the allied
nations who are trying to free Bel
GUM. We are asked to kiss the
bloody hands of the murderers and
to serve as the tool of these men
against those nations which have be-
hayed more valiently and righteously
than we.
1T is a proposition of sordid base
ness. 1t asks US to put dollars above
lives and to consult our own coward
ice and weakness instead of adhering
to the eternal principles of justice.
If We followed such a course, we will
cover ourselves with everlasting in
fanny.
Unfortunately, it is evident that
many of our public men are afraid
of Germany, afraid of the profession
al German-American vote and are
willing to sacrifice the honor of this
country to their fears. There is
practically no French-American or
English-American vote, and these
politicians therefore, feel they can
act against England and France with
safety-and their motto Is: Safety
