SWEET LITTLE GIRL
PASSED AWAY

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Wig
go Rasmussen is saddened through
the loss of their Oldest daughter,
Irma, after brief Illness, which at
first caused little alarm. Several
days ago, she fell ona garden rake,
one tooth of which penetrated one
leg between the ankle and the knee.
The wound was thought to be
healing alright until Saturday noon
when tetanus developed, and at
400 o'clock the little girl passed
away.
The fond remembrances Of her
nine years, which God permitted
her to spend on earth will be long
cherished by her sorrowing parents.
A short service was held at the
home, conducted by the Rev. W.
b. Baldwin, Monday afternoon,
August 18th, after which the re-
mains were taken to Kimballton
for interment.
The sympathy of all is extended
to the bereaved parents.

ly helped and sympathized with us

INDIANS OF UTAH

The Indians in Utah consist of
the Utes and Navajoes (pronounc,
ed Nava-ho).
The Utes as whole are very in
dolent and lazy. They generally
earn their living by going around
begging it Off the whites. Some OF
the Utes, however. catch wild
horses and sell to the whites. A
few are farmers.
When the early settlers came to
Utah they found the Utes a rowing
tribe, which just managed to live
Their chief food was antelope and
deer. They also made a sort of
| mush consisting of boiled corn
sprinkled with ashes Of sage-brush.
| Talk about HooverizingD
Unlike other Indians, the Utes
believed When an Indian died his
spirit went to Il canyon SO crooked
he could never fiEd his way out
They buried his weapons vita him
to keep him from starving while in
this canyon. They also believed
that once an old woman had two
sons one was wicked, one was
good. The wicked son was jealous
| and drove the good son away to an
island where he died of starvation,
and his spirit is the sun. They be-
lieye some day the good son will
come back and punish his wicked
| brother. The mother died of sor-
row and her spirit is moaning in
| the wind.
The Utes were a very cruel tribe
and all prisoners were treated
brutally. In one case they cut the
heart out of white man while he
was alive. The Utes were very
hard to control and they still per-
sist in uprising. The head chief of
the Utes was Chief Walker. He
loved war. In the part of Utah in
which live there were three chiefs,
namely: Chief Black Hawk, Chief
San Pitch and Chief Shumway. San
Pitch and Shumway were friendly
with the whites, while Black Hawk
was warlike.
The Navajo Indians are just OPP
posite from the Utes. They are
very industrious and are some of
the most civilized Indians in Amer
lea. They make their living by
selling relics, rugs, baskets and
trinkets. Many are farmers. The
whites had very little trouble with
them.-Lone Scout.

with their branches close to the
ground, and maybe we will find
something"
So they went across the street,
and when they were about in the
middle of the row of evergreen
trees which was at the back of the
Stanwin house, they were startled
by familiar "Chir-rp, chir-rp, CHR
rp," real short and crisp and eager.
And sure enough there was Mr..
Robin, and beyond him in the veri-
est depths of the branches was
very, very warm, snug nest, his
winter quarters. -...

told her all about it, and asked her
rather tearfully, it must be said,
although Bobby was usually very
brave little man, where Mr.. Robin
could possibly have gone.
Now Bobby's mother was very
sensible person and she told Bobby
that probably Mr. Robin wasn't
very far away after all. She said
that after real cold nights like last
night. Robins couldn't live or even
come out on the bare old trees that
were such cold and uninviting
places with their warm sheltering

Mr.. Robin and Bobby
by Their Friend

"Chir-rp, chir-rp," softly it came,
accented as If asking a question.
Father Robin was standing on
limb of the old apple tree, which
stood right by a certain bedroom
window. the old apple tree whose
leaves were racing with each other
to see which could lose their beau
tiful green color the quickest. Yes,
Father Robin was there with his
fine old black topped head turned
on one side and his bead-like bright
eyes searching for some sign of
recognition from the little boy in
the bed just beside the window
"Chir-rp, chir-rp. chirr-rp." came
again in tones still trifle low and
cautious, but no answer came from
the very sound asleep Bobby who
had been to his little chum Letha s
birthday party the night before.
Even "Mr. Robin-es" get impat-
lent sometimes when things don't
happen as they usually have hap
pened. Hadn't he come to this
very same window almost every
morning that summer and said
Good Morning" to Master Bobby
and exchanged a few other friend
ly words? And especially. hadn't
Master Bobby given him, every
morning, some most delicious
crumbs from his breakfast bread
and coffee cake? OF course-but
where were the crumbs and Bobby
on this particular morning?
Something must be the matter"
thought Father Robin, and SO,
wrought up both by worry that
something was wrong as well as
by fear that he might lose those
delectable bread crumbs, he threw
all caution to the winds. Getting
as close to the window as he could,
even daring to get on a very slen-
der branch which was all the more
dangerous because Father Robin
was quite fat robin, he gave an
other "chir-rp-rp chir-rprp-rp." just
as loud and sharp as could be.
But this time there was to be no
disappointment for Mr.. Robin, for
at this loud summons, Bobby sat
straight up in bed, still rubbing his
eyes.
"Chir-rp-rp, chir-rp-rp," said Rob
in again sharply, seeing that he
must keep up the conversation by
himself for a time.
"Chir-rp, chir-rp-rp." he contin-
ued.
"Why. hello. Mr.. Robin. why did
you" he was going to say wake

HOW TO SALUTE THE FLAG.

The little book called sour Army
and How to Know 1t" gives the fol-
lowing in regard to saluting the
colors, and every boy should live up
to it: Every civilian should show
respect for the colors and the ma
tional anthem. The correct thing
for man is to remove his hat and
hold it in the right hand opposite
the left shoulder while passing an
uncascd color or during the play
ing of the national anthem. If un.
covered stand at attention. Ris-
ing slowly, standing in slouching
position or carrying on conversa-
ton while the music is being played
is either an indication of gross ig-
norance or ill,breeding or both.
Pride and patriotism should make
every man outstanding. Watch for
any maltreatIlent of disrespect for
the flag; report them at once to
the proper authorities in order that
swift punishment may be melted
out. The national anthem OF any
other country will be treated with
the same respect on official occa-
sions. Lone Scout.

off.
Master Robin sat contentedly on

this time, and waited. He had no
intentions of doing anything else.
These morning visits were con-
tinued late in the fall, that is, late
for bird visits. until one morning
Mr.. Robin didn't appear at Bobby's
window. Bobby got real close to
the window and pressed his nose
right up against the pane so he
could see better but his friend of
the summer wasn't anywhere to be
