HINTS FOR BELATED GIFTS
Bags and Aprons Are Easily and
Quickly Made and They Are Al
ways Acceptable.

For many weeks before Christmas
the household Is busy with needle,
crochet hook and tatting shuttle, fash
ioning Christmas gifts for family and
friends. But, there always are some
belated gifts, that must be made dur
Ing the last few days, for friends that
We would like to remember.
In such cases there is nothing more
quickly or easily made than bags and
aprons, and one never can have too
many of either. Laundry bags, stock
ing bags, darning bags, piece bags and
bags for sOiled handksrchiefs can be
made of chintz or cretonne, and fancy
work bags, purse bags, and handker-
chief bags may be made of silk and
ribbon. Several of these bags can cas-
lily be made In an evening, and they
are always acceptable gifts.
And aprons-no woman ever had
too many aprons. A few yards of ging.
ham, percale and butchers linen made
up into aprons, which would not re-
quire more than day TO make a good
supply, would go long ways as gifts
to busy house mothers. And caps, also.
At this time almost every woman
wears some sort of cap when doing
her house work, and neat, washable
cap makes an acceptable gift and re-
qulres little skill In the making. And
so with these practical and quickly
made gifts one may be able to catch up
with Christmas remembrances, even
though belated until the last few days
before Christmas.

LOCAL RED CROSS DRIVE

The local Red Cross Drive for men,
bership will begin on next Sunday.
Our town churches, in common with
the churches in every patriotic city
in the wide United States, will spend
at least part Of their time next Sun
day in discussing Red Cross affairs
it's history, present work and future
aims and needs.
During all of next week and up
until Christmas Eve, a concentrated
effort will be made to enroll as large
number as possible in this great
nationwide organization, honored in
having as its national president the
Nations head, President Woodrow
Wilson.
Membership in the Red Cross i'm
poses no obligations upon anyone, ex-
cept the payment of the $1.0O MEM
bership fee. Additional work will
doubtless be undertaken later on,
when the local chapter is properly
organized, but this work is purely
voluntary.
1t is expected of Cedar City, where
all war funds have been so literally
supported, that at least 700 member
ships will be obtained.
The money you gave to the Soldiers
Welfare Fund is helping to make a
clean environment for the boys in
training and at the front. The Red
Cross, supported by your membership,
will follow the boys where the shells
are bursting, will nurse them when
they are sick and wounded, will fol-
low them into prison camps and will
comfort them when they are dying.
Look for the booth on the street.
A house to house canvass will also be
made.
Wear the Red Cross button and be
proud of it.-Local Red Cross Com
mittee.
Not selfish Christmas, but a Red
Cross Christmas.

Why didn't want to be drafted,
And led to the train by band,
Or out on claim for exemption
Oh, why did I hold up my hand?
Why didn't l wait for the banquet?
Why didn't / want to be cheered?
For the drafted men get the credit,
While l merely volunteered.
And nobody gave me a banquit,
Nobody said kind word
The puff of the engine, the grind Of
the wheel,
Was all the goodbye I heard.
Then off to the training camp hustled
To be drilled for the next half year,
And in the shuttle forgotten
For I'm only volunteer!
And perhaps some day in the future,
When little boy sits on my knee
And asks what l did in the great war,
And his little eyes look up at me,
will have to look back into those eyes
That at me so trustingly peer,
And confess that | wasn't drafted
That l was only volunteer.

IN A STARVING WORLD

My plenty shames when think this bread,
This meat, of which have too much, would be
AS mamma sent from God to famshed ones
Across the sea--pale woman, fanting child,
Old man. soldier MANNED for sakes
Here take the half and more, and daily take,
And lade it on the giant ships with share
From myriad tables in land and send
And send and send, past cursed foes that Turk
Beneath the waves, through tempest, fog and ice,
To them who cry for crumbs Dives moaned
For drops in hell to cool his parching tongue.
Here takel IT'S consecrate, is the Bread
And Wine of Holy Sacrament! IT'S Gods
Not minel His dying children lack and call.
Let me not eat in peace till this is done.
Let not sit me down about my board
But spectres and stare at me, and gohsts
Stand by my side, and cries of children smite
My and ring through all my brain and soul
Until set apart this holy thing
Due portion of my fullness in this time.
There is, by Gods most wondrous chemistry,
Enough upon the planet in this hour
TO keep the lives thatare against the day
When earth will frucify and bear again.
Thou hast within thy walls, at thy command,
More than thy needs Bring divide-dsgorge
And then with better heart and appetite,
Partake, in joy thy meat But not beforel
While hunger mourns and thou repest not
Let food be asteess on thy lips and gall
And NORWOOD to thy stated, selfish tongue

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
SUPERVISORS OFFICE
Samuel +. Leigh Makes Brief Report
of improvements Accomplished
During Past Two Years.

Following is brief report of the
work Of the office of the Supervisor Of
Water Works for the years 1916 and
1917:
The water system has been extended
at different points in the city about
six thousand feet, at a cost to the
city of about 4Oc. per foot.
Service pipe has been put in from
the main line to the curb for thirty,
families. This has taken 140O fesS
of pipe and has cost about $500.
Thirteen hundred feet of old pipe
has been taken out of the system and
replaced with new California Red
wood pipe.
We have repaired seven hundred
leaks in wood pipe.
Two springs have been added to the
system. They have capacity of
about 60 gallons per minute. 1000
feet of pipe was used to pipe springs
to main line. Cement tanks were in
stalled at both springs. 100 feet of
3-inch iron pipe was removed and re-
placed with 4-inch wood pipe. A large
cement tank was installed where the
springs come together.
Sixteen hundred feet of iron pipe
has been put below frost line in the
upper part of town.
The policy of the present admins
tration has been to remove old pipe
just as fast as our means will permit
and replace with new pipe. My sug-
gestion would be to install pipe in
one street per year until all old pipe
is removed. This can be done with
out increasing the taxes.
The present city officers have had
the city's interest at heart and have
done all in their power to make the
administration success.

due decorum. Some brands dating
back to 1928, 1851 and 1910 were found
to have lost all bouquet. The experts
afterward proudly reported that they
had tasted wines of five successive CEN
turtles at one session, an unprecedented
