to front to get some souvenirs
Christmas. Most things are
pretty hi h here, just the same
as in the states, but don't have
much occasion to spend money.
Can't begin to tell you all in a
letter as see it, but will try to
make it pretty interesting for you
when | come home. Don't wor
ry one bit about me, for | am GER
tainly taken care If and feeling
fine and dandy. Don'texpect to
hear too often, for | am very bu
sy.
Haven't had a chance to see
anyone ever knew as | am far
from the front, and training in a
town and section where Ameri-
can troops have never been be-
fore. but if it isn't over before
long we expect to be in it, aitho'
probably not so close to front as
| would like to be. We sure have
them going now. We will soon
have them in 3 notion to listen
to Woodrow Wilson, and be will
to do few things he suggests.
The French and English and, in
fact, all the allies, think Wilson
the sma test man in the world
and are perfectly willing to leave
it to him to dictate terms. The
Germans and their allies will
soon think and agree to the same.
Preserve this and see if any of
the predictions | have made are
not true.
Now, please don't worry about
me. With love, your son,

Il saIea Dixon.

The de tn angel visited the
home of Mr.. md Mrs. W., J. Dix
on and took rheir darling baby,
Rosalea. She was three years
and six months old and died of
pneumonia The Lord knows
best. His will, not ours, be done.
Weep not, dear parents. for your
little darling is al rest, for Jesus
says, Suffer little children to
to come unto me" We can SYM
pathise with the bereaved parents
for it is hard to give our loved
ones Up, and hard to see them
die, but weep not, for Rosalea is
not dead but only sleeping. All
we can do is to be ready when
God calls, and then we can all
meet RosaIea in world where
death never comes.
She leaves to mourn her loss a
father, mother, one sister and
one brother. She was laid to
rest in the Lasater graveyard
Thursday 10 await the resurrec-
ton, when we will meet little
Rosalea again.
A precious one from US is gone,
voice we loved is stilled, a place
is ,aaant in our home which new
er can be filed. God in His wis
dom has recalled the boon his
love has given; altho' the body
sumbers here the soul is safe in
heaven. AN AUNT.

But He Was Not Dead.

Raising trouble at his own funeral
was the charge against man in Por-
tuguese Africa. A drunken man fell
asleep by the roadside. a patrol com.
ing along thought he was dead, and,
as burial in that part of the world fol-
lows straight on the heels of death, he
was speedily taken to the cemetery,
where there are always open graves.
The lowering into the grave aroused
the topper, who made such a commo-
ton that he was released. He ives
immediately fined large sEra for be-
dus drunk and creating Q ezi&@AsMsz

Well, England is a pretty
country and we saw a good por.
ton of the best part of it. The
people met us as we went along,
waving all kinds of flags, anC
you should have heard the yell
when our bunch spied penant
with Detroit, Mich" on it
Then a little further on and you
should have heard me yell--I
first of all discovered a little
girl with her mother and father,
holding pennant with "Tennes-
see" on it.
! One of the most amusing
sights we saw in England was
the great punches of girls of all
sizes in overalls, working in the
! factories and fields. They look
ed pretty cute. too. Also the
first automobile in England was
not an automobile but a Ford. T"
All the other automobiles, with
the exception of very few in,
stances, were bicycles, and most
everybody rides in France, es'
picially the young girls. Occas-
ionally you see an old man come
riding down the road on a bicv-
Gle. All of the roads | have seen
in England and France are ideal.
In fact, better than the streets,
which are usually very narrow
and crooked with only a very
narrow sidewalk here and there.
When we reached France we
travelled some more and now |
can say have covered almost
the entire length of France. The
entire trip, or even part of 1t,
could not have been over a bet
ter route.
We are temporarily located in
a very pretty section of France,
in which there have been no Am
erican troops before, and you
should have seen the welcome
they gave us, They look on the
Americans as saviors and treat
us royalty, but they are having
as hard time to learn English
as we have to learn French.
1t is some job trying to learn this
French lingo" but | am picking
il up pretty fast, | guess, by close
observation and frequent refer
ence to my translated dictionary
and hand book.
All officers are not given in
terpreters, but if they happen to
have them in their companies
they are in luck. | have been
transferred to Company D. from
my old company, C. in the same
Park (4th Corps Art. Park and
very luckily found an interpre-
term company, of whom | make
good use. We are in a small. !
very old French town some ds-
lance from the front. Haven't
heard gun yet. Am getting
very anxious to get thru training
and get in the racket. The way
we have the Huns going now
looks like if We don't hurry the
job will be finished before we can
catch up. Am afraid we will
never be right at the front or
very close, altho' we expect to
g4t to our place in the game pref
ty soon.
Well, just as you've heard said, |
this is the country of wine, wo-
men and song" as well as war,
but for me | am too busy for any
thing except doing my little bit
toward the war. Am real anX-
ious to get close enough, at least.

USE LESS EXPENSIVE
CUTS OF MEAT
Proper Cooking Will Make Cheap
Cuts Palatable.

The cheap cuts of meat should be
used more extensively from motives
of patriotism and economy, declares
Miss Gertrude McCheyne, in charge
of the home economies work of the
Extension Division of the Utah Agri-
cultural College. The following hints
regarding the use of cheap cuts are
offered by Miss McCheyne:
"The cheap cuts of meat are equal
in nourishment to the more expensive
and have more highly developed flaw
ors. Be economical and use more of
them. Some of the cheapest cuts of
meat are neck, skin, flank, brisket,
navel, plate. Stews are economical
and nourishing because the whole of
the nutriment of the meat and vege-
tables are preserved. If you wish
good soup, place your meat on the
stove in cold water and simmer slow
ly. If you wish good boiled meat,
place the meat in boiling water and
simmer. Meat should never boil af-
ter the first minute or two. A little
vinegar added to the water for tough
meats will help to make them tender"

INTERESTING ROUNDUP
VISITOR FROM wEST-SIDE

An interesting west-side visitor at
the Roundup this week is Mr.. o. d..
Payne, from Yale, or Prout, as the
post Office has been named.
MIR. Payne is one of the prosperous
ranchers in the newly-settled portion
of this county, and has one of the
best equipped and stocked ranches in
that locality. His homestead, which
comprises 1000 acres, is provided
with modern five-room house, with
full modern plumbing, there being a
1000 gallon water tank elevated %
feet above ground, which is kept full
by good well and pumping outfit,
which produces $50 gals. per minute,
the surplus being stored in an S0,-
600 gallon reservoir. The present
supply of water is sufficient to irrigate
30 acres, and it is Mr.. Payne's in
tention next fall to install thous-
and gallon per minute elevator equip
ment. There are 800 shade trees on
the ranch, tractor outfits $50 acres
are seeded to rye, and alfalfa has been
successfully started on six acres, as an
experiment.
Mr.. Payne is successful large well
borer, and has operated extensively
in California as well in parts of this
state. For the past several months he
has been working in Willard county
and has been instrumental in obtain
ing some of the astonishing flows in
that section. He is also interested in
an elevator system of raising water
from wells, and claims to be able to
produce twice as much water with the
same amount of power as can be
done by any of the known systems
of pumping.
Prout is % miles southwest from
Lund, and Mr.. Payne's home is mile
and half from the Yale station.
