About two o'clock last Sunday
morning Olson Bros. dance hall at
Ovid was discovered in flames and
the building was practically burned
to the ground before any Are fighters
arrived. There had been a dance In
the haiFthe evening before, the build
ing being vacated about midnight.
While. the cause of the fire Is un-
known, the general supposition Is

the floor in some part of the build
ing.
The building was erected six years
ago and was the first modern dance
hall erected in the county, outside OF
Montpelier. Many pleasaFe-seekers
all over the valley regret that it has

BY the death of John U. Stucki,
which occurred at his home in Paris
last Tuesday morning, Bear Lake
county has lost another one of its pi-
oneer and prominent citizens. Death
was caused from cancer of the stom-
ach, with which the deceased had
suffered for the past year or more.
although he was bedfast only eight
weeks prior to his death.
Mr.. Stucki was born in Oberneu-
MORN, Switzerland, on Jan. s. 1887.
At the age OF 19 years he was con-
verted to the Mormon faith and
came to the United States in 1857.
In the fall of the following year he
settled at Providence, Utah, where
he lived until 1870, when he was
called to come to Bear Lake valley
and assist In church work here. Soon
after arriving in Paris he was chosen
as clerk OF the Bear Lake stake,
which ONCE he held for over 40
years. In 1912 he was called to
serve as second counsellor to Presi-
dent Shepherd and remained a mem
ber OF the presidency until last De-
cember. In 1901 he was ordained a
patriarch in the church. Mr.. Stucki
was also president of the high
priests quorum for many years.
He was greatly interested in the
welfare of his fellow-countrymen in

IDAHO is ASKED TO
SAVE 868 BABIES

Thousands of babies die annually
in the United States from preventa
BILE causes. Now that more than a
million OF our red-blooded boys have
gone to the front and a possible two
million more will be called within
the next year the value placed upon
the life Of each little one is increased.
Our government has awakened to the
fact that something must be done to
save our babies. The life of the sol
dier is fourteen times safer than the
life of the babe In his cradle; that is.
fourteen babies die to every soldier
killed. Each state has been asked
to save a number of babies, Idaho's
allotment being 1858. The first step
the government has taken Is a weigh
ing and measuring test of every child
under FIVE. The first week in July
has been set apart for this work in
Bear Lake county. The exact time
and place for each precinct will be
published next week. Parents are
asked to acquaint themselves with
this work and be prepared to take
their little ones at the time set. A
doctor or trained nurse will conduct
this test and It is expected that every
child under five years Of age will be
properly weighed and measured In
order that the government may act
wisely in legislating for help for its
youngest citizens.
In connection with this work, the
Home Economic teacher of the Field
ing Academy will conduct lecture
course on "Mothercraft" at Paris for
the mothers on the west side of the
county, and IL enough of the mothers
ON the east eide desire It, the same
course will be given at Montpelier.
