CONCRETE ON. THE FARM.

If there IS any one thing more, than another
that has aided the farmer in making his farm
stead more attractive. his live stock more COM
Portable and his farm more valuable, it is con-
crete on the farm. 1t is one Of the most eco
nomical and suitable farm-building materials. In
permanency it cannot be surpassed. In fact, 1t
Is unequaled in this one respect. Concrete. Is
also one Of the biggest factors in making build
ings rat and mouse proof. Needless to say, rats
and mice have always been a constant menace
to the farmers grain bins and corncribs, but the
widespread use of concrete on the farm has great
ly reduced the damage done to stored grains.
Perhaps the greatest value of concrete, how
ever, Is the fact that it can be mixed by the farm
er himself. Instead Of having to depend upon
expensive masons and carpenters he can employ
his spare time in concrete construction, because
concrete work is something that anyone can learn
with q little practice.

for the statement that bitter

I PARIS II..

Although one Of the smaller cities
of the state, Paris the county seat
OF Bear Lake county, IL one Of the
oldest. In September lS6S, Gener-
al Charles C. Rich one OF the apost-
les OF the Mormon Church was sent
out to look for a location In which
to establish q new settlement. and
he selected the spot whore Paris IL
now located.
Before cold weather came some
thirty families came from the Cache
Valley among whom were John
Mann, George Humphreys. Hezekia
Dufgie, John Humphreys. Joseph
Rich, Thomas Eleight and Robert ii.
williams. They built log cabins and
after a long tedious winter began the
work Of planting crops and improv-
ing tho land. When tho settlement
was established It was supposed 20
be in Utah and G. @. Rich was cleo
ted to represent the Bear Lake dis
trict in the Legislature Of that terri
tory. In June, 1854 Brigham Young,
presidnet OF the Mormon Chorch Vi
sited the new settlements and gave
names to the towns calling this one
Paris.
Paris was incorporated aa village
in 1897 and tho first election was
held April 1898 when John u. stuiki
]. n. Shepherd, Arthur Bulge, Chris
tian Fuller, Charles Innes, A. r. Seq
miller, Walter Hodge, Wilfred Rich
and Thomas Menson we're elected 81
trustees. In the organization OF the
village government, Mr.. Stuck was
chosen president OF the board and be-
came tho first mayor. Some Ten
years later the village form OF gov.
