MESA $ CITY CLERK RESIGNS POSITION;
 NO SUCCESSOR YET

MESA, July 4.-City Clerk W. A. Mcdonald rendered his resignation to the city trustees at the meeting held on Tuesday night. Mir. Mcdonald stated that he would be willing to con- tinue in office until the board had time to select suitable man for the place. There is much work to be done right now, the city budget to be made out this month, and considerable other de- tail work to be handled. This, with the auditing and formal turning over to the council of the city's books will take some time. Since the purchase by the town of Mesa of the gas and electric plant, the work of the clerks office has been greatly increased. Mayor Kleinman stated yesterday that thus far no selection had been made of a successor to Mir. Mcdonald.
 The other business of the council consisted of the transaction of the reg ular routine of affairs.

Quiet Fourth in Mesa

Mesa will go to Phoenix today. There is to be no public celebration of the day in the southside city, though patriotic citizens and merchants are
 displaying the national colors in profu-
 sion. The lack of a park where public
 gatherings can be held comfortably
 had good deal to do with the decision
 not to attempt a celebration. More
 and more are comments being heard as to the need of a park, and there are
 many who believe that the beautiful 10-acre tract belonging to the town
 should be made place of resort where great public gatherings could be held
 under the shade of trees that, many of them, have yet to be planted if the
 place is ever to be made available for such purposes.

Country, we have heard 1T related
by pioneer resident of the Coun-
ty who several years ago passed
away, and what he knew and relat-
ed has since been partially con-
lirmed by the public records in
Morgan County, the story as relat-
ed is substantially as follows:
Almost century ago, or back a.
bout 1928, there was located at the
present site of Deer Lodge, what
was known as the ''Indian Tavern
this was evidently the second tav-
ern of the same name as the other
and probably older one vas on the
Keith farm about three miles east
of Wartburg, any way Menan Dav-
idson wasa small boy and rememb-
cred that at his grand-fathers at
this latter Indian Tavern theri often
so iourned indians, the scattered
remnants of the Cherokee tribe yet
remaining through out the Cumbel"s
land Mountain Country; lead was
scarce and precious metal at this
time for the pioneers sought to OBJ
tain it from any source in order to
replenish their store of munitions,
aud about this time it was consld-
cred at shooting match. that ''the
lead in the tree" was the first
choice. and ammunition was net
wasted on small game like squirrels
etc. because more meat was needed
to make up the winter supplies and
dried venison was the ST. ok and
store of most every settler, al q
when this game was killed the pi-
opeer would consider it some for
tune that the bullet would not pass'
through and out of it's body but
would lodge there in and thereby
not be wasted but again be used af-'
ter remoulding.
On one occasion a young indian
man, left this place, Indian Tavern

and said he was going after lead
for bullets, but warned the white

DAY OF REJOICING.
The Character of Our Sowing De-
/ termines the Quality Of
Our Reapings.

'srhey that sow in tears shall reap
In joy."-Ps 1928 Is.
Harvest Joy does not come from the
tears which accompany our seedtime,
but from the faithfulness with which
we SOW even In the midst of sorrow.
Sheaves do not grow from tears but
from seed.
1t Is important that we hold fast to
the truth just stated, for we are prone
to withhold our hands in the days OF
sorrow. Such days are frequent.
Clouds are everywhere. 1t seems that
the sun will never shine again. Hope
of harvest has almost died away.
"What's the use?" we say, and we are
tempted to make no further effort.
Blinded by encouragement, weakened
by disappointment, we sit down and
bemoan the fate that has befallen
us. Thus we postpone or make I'M
possible the joyful day which might be
ours, the day of rejoicing in an abun-
dant harvest which grew from faith
full sowing.
The Day Of Sorrow.
Not so. the Jews in Babylon. Great
was their sorrow and distress. Upon
the willows by the rivers they hung
their harps, those musical instruments
by means Of which they expressed
their JOY, for they could not sing their
national hymns In strange land; yet
In their deep sorrow they began to SOW
seeds Of desire, seeds of resolute pur-
pose, seeds Of righteousness, that they
might be f1t for communion with Je-
hovah in their own beloved land. In
Babylon they remembered Zion and
how their own willfulness and sin had
been the means of sending them as ex-
lies; but instead of giving up in de-
spair they began to prepare for new
life as restored people in restored
fatherland. So they made possible the
jubilanD songs of deliverance.
The Reason for Joy.
II was not the tears In Babylon
which brought them their rejoicing.
1t was because they had turned from
their folly and discovered the truth
which had been stated to them so
often, that "his salvation Is nigh them
that fear him." What blessings come
out of these days of tears If only we
make wise use Of the sorrows that
come to us! HeadstWng and dis
regarding God in the pride OF their
own strength, calamity had come upon
them; but we can almost see these
sorrow-stricken people encouraging
one another to turn again unto the
Lord, teaching their children the truth
which they had neglected to follow,
and, as a consequence Of such sowing,
they were rejoiced to see that truth
springeth out Of the earth; and right
eousness hath looked down from
heaven"
There Is a sowing in joy-or that
which is called joy-that yields a harv-
est Of tears, a sowing to the wind that
yields the whirlwind. But the sowing
Of right thoughts, right purposes, sight
desires, even though there is no joy nj
the time, always yields the peaceabte
fruits of righteousness and fills the
mouth with laughter and the tongue
with singing.-Rev. James e. Clark,
D. D.

An Incident In France.

Two thousand men had paraded at
one of our great base camps previous
to going "up the line" The inspection
was complete, and in few minutes
the order, "Quick March," to the rail-
way station would be given. Just at
that moment, while all stood at "at-
tention, fully equipped, voice began
to sing,
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With gladness fills my breast.
And like a wave Of melody the song
passed from rank to rank, until every
man seemed to be singing. The hymn
was sung right through to the last
verse the officers, meantime, looking
ON In silence. How many Of these
men have already looked into the race
of him Of whom they sang? There
was a Christian association hut In that
camp at which this hymn was a great
favorite with the men-surely mucn
better than the senseless "Tipperary.

Glass Drug Co.
I'VE TREAT YOU RIGHT
INCREASES HIS BEEF
CATTLE PROFITS

Butterfat is selling for more than
fifty cents a pound. One beef cattle
raiser in Tennessee, approaching the
fact and also the fact that his baby
calves do as well on skimmilk fresh
from the separator as when sucking
their dams, has taken to milking his
cows, separating the ceam from the
milk and shipping it to creamery
fotry miles away.
Three pounds Of corn will easily re-
place one pound of butterfat in the
calf's ration at a cost of less than ten
cents, instead Of fifty. Is this forty
cents worth the trouble. Suppose his
COW produces, on the average. only
one hundred and fifty pounds Of but
ter fat in year or one-half pound of
fat a day for ten months. This, at
fifty cents a pound means SEVENTH
five dollars a cow, or enough to pay
for her feed and care, leaving her calf
clear profit.
This man does not live near the rail-
road. The produce merchant makes
regular trips through the country,
gathering up butter and eggs, instead
of selling him the surplus butter at
twenty-five cents pound he gives
him ten cents can for hauling the
cream to the railway station and re-
turning the can.

ity. 1t came from the people who are

struggle. might give thei language,
1t was tantamount to this: 1--WE are
eager to have something constructive
put before u.s." So you will find the
rich and the poor. While they fully
intend to do these other things which
the war compels and to pay any price
to accomplish them, they will be glad
along with it, not only to think of
something we are going to do after
this war, but even now to begin to
give toward something that is to be
carried out after this war 1t is time
not only 10 plan Tor and to begin to
do larger things in a constructive way,
but it is time also to confront the
Church, as never before, with the idea
of the permanence Of the foreign mis-
sionary undertaking. In my judgment
it is the most nearly permanent work
that is being projected in the world
today. AT time like this, to 90 out
to the church and so lay your plans
for the worldwide conquest Of the
Christian religion stated in new terms
makes the greatest draft upon the
faith Of the people that can possibly
be made. But it will be the salvation
of the church The faith of the
church is involved, because a church
that can simply deal with this world
war is not a church that can conquer.
