NEWS ITEMS
OF THE WEEK
FROM BENSON

BENSON. Nov. 24.--The beautiful
weather we are having enables the
Benson farmers to haul the piles of
sugar beets to the factory and to
the railroad. The heavy loads with
four and five horse teams make the
crossing over the Bear river bridge
dangerous as the bridge is in an I'M
safe condition. We fear a very disas-
trous cavern may occur before the
beets are all hauled. The hauling of
these beet piles enables the farmers
to make a few dollars
John Kicks and j. w. Kicks are
hauling thing from Smithfield where
it is made by Mr.. Deppe, to their
farm where they intend to do some
draining of their land that is be-
coming waterloged. thus greatly re-
ducing the productivepess OF their
farms.
Mr.. William Peterson has moved
tn the home of his father-in-law Mr..
Nj. E. Rogers. who has moved to Lo-
gan. Mr.. Peterson has rented the
farm OF Mr. Rogers, who, with his
family, are going TO enjoy city life
in their later years. Mr. Rogers was
born In Benson and will no doubt
feel longing for the old homestead
for a month or SO.
The people OF Benson who attend
ed tho services last Sunday received
instructions that We're interesting
and inspiring by Elders Alma Math-
ews and Il. Is. Campbell. The Sunday
previous, Elders Joseph r. Carbon
and Heber Vaughan were with us
and spoke most impressively on the
necessity of furnishing means in sup
port of the work OF the Y. NJ. c. 4.
in providing comforts for the SOL
diers that they may have places of
recreation that will be uplifting and
instructive.

enclosed the following clipping from
a paper:
In Wales, as in other parts of the
world, the present war has wrought
many changes Girls are doing work
unheard of in pre-war days. An old
chum of John James. residing in
Cardiff, South Wales, the home of
the Welch poets and bards, recently
sent him the following effusion that
describes present conditions in that
city, improved or otherwise, since
the advent, as the Welsh poet puts
| it. of the war girl:
The office is now quite different
place.
For every man works with Il smile
on his face
It's certainly evident such is the
case,
Because we've got grls.ir the OFFICE.
The office boy formerly looked such
wreck,
But now with clean collars his FORM
he'll bedeck,
Indeed, ii is whispered he washes
his neck
I Since we've got girls in the office.
We Mister" each other formally
now,
And never by any chance kick up
row,
Our conducts exemplary tall mvst
allow
Whilst We have girls in the office.
From using strong language tho
serious shrink.
The effort 1t costs them you really
can't think,
And the manager never goes out Tor
drink,
Now we've got girls in the office.
Nobody seems in a hurry to leave,
And tales go about you can hardly
believe.
That powders been seen on the man
ayers sleeve,
Since we've had girls in the of.tC>.
Where it will end no one know -
no one cares,
,, Yet it makes one mere carefal abe..
what one wears,
And it's costing quite double %
tramway fares.
Now we've got girls in the Office.

The League For Simple Dressing
Women OF good taste and patriot
ism everywhere seem to have Joined
a League for Simple Dressing. The
only bylaw seems to be Conserva-
ton OF Material, and the motto sim
plicity. One OF the most attractive
of the seasons fads in evening dress
es is that OF combining two materi-
ais. Satin and lace, silk and net,
velvet and Georgette crepe, or any
other combination is most effective
If properly used. A clever example
Is illustrated here. The most unus-
ual feature is the tunic over the
draped skirt. The satin of the skirt
is repeated on the waist. and the
tunic and underwaist and sleeves
are OF lace. The color scheme is
charming, orchid satin and cream
lace with a touch OF blue in the crys-
tai beads on the waist.

Formal warning was issued at Chi
cagO, Saturday, on instruction from
the offices of Food Administrator

are closing down and that thousands
OF persons are threatened with tenn
porary loss of employment. Individ-
uals as well as dealers are called
upon to do with the absolute mini
mum of the product. 1t was an
nounced that as the Atlantic States
have the greatest scarcity, best sugar

that section.
Representative Paris grocers and
Mr.. H. A. Power, head of the Power

with. They stated that boarding of
supplies of sugar would be inadvisa-
BILE, as the prices are bound to come
down soon, and the stringency re-

Dear Mrs. Champe.
Il was greatly pleased and delight
ed when the box came containing
the nice outfit you sent me, and I am
certainly thankful for the knitted
togs, as you could not have sent me
anything more useful or anything
that I appreciate more. You
have certainly been doing your part,
and if everyone tried to do their
share like you every soldier and every
lad in the navy would have some
comfort.

watch on the guns when the ship
goes to sea, and it certainly does
get chilly from midnight to four in
the morning, and three of four hun
dred miles from land the wind has
nothing to stop it, and. it almost
blows us off our feet. The things
you sent me will be more than ap-
preciated under these circumstances.
1 am thanking you thousand, times
for your kind membranes and
wishing that every other boy in the
navy was so fortunate"
Sincerely Yours,
"ED. FITZPATRICK" -,
When the first call went out for
recruits for the navy, Ed. Fitzpat-
rick. Ed Doty and w. o. Penning-
ton. of Paris, were among the first
to sign the papers transferring them
to the services of the United States
navy. They needed no incentive
other than a desire to serve their
country in any capacity they could,
and the life of sailorman appealing
to them they made the jump. From
letters they have written back, and
from conversations with Pennington,
who was in Paris some time ago on a
furlough the boys are contented and
are making good. They are young
men of pluck and nerve and will not
not be found wanting when the time
comes for them to prove their fit
ness and courage.
