BY A MERE MAN.

Men. there are traitors in our
ranks! They are striking at the very
roots of our sex pride; they threaten
US with ridicule from members of the
opposite sex; they are tearing down
the very Notifications that have stood
impregnable for years, yea centuries.
For-whisper members or our
heretofore SUPERIOR sex have been
caught classifying their ages at the
registrat ton office in the city nail
caught "lyin'" about their ages, MIND
you! oh, dearl
After years during which we had
felr secure in the belief that only wo-
man practiced this kind of deception
we now find our own brothers doing
il. And, the practice has become
quite common, il we are to believe
the employees in the city clerks offlce
all women.
Mrs. %. e. Roudebush. assistant city
clerk, called the writer over to her
desk recently and said, confidentialiy
but was there not triumphant
note in her voice DO you know
Nor the first time we are finding men
reticent in giving thier ages this year
when they register? And in some
cases''-here she leaned over nearer
and did that triumphant note become
more pronounced I've have cauSht
them actually classifying their ages
listing themselves as younger thah
they really were. Why, some OF them
even have cut five years from their
aresl" CAnd here we were sure OF
the triumphant note.)
other clerks in the office confirmed
her statement. They admitted that II,
previous years they had had trouole
rettfng women to tell their ages, but
this spring they ran up against new
obstacle. The men were the ones
sfe1,t inc
do l have to tell my age? IS the
common male question. They are IN
formed that they do if they wish to
vote. Sometimes. they kick up con-
siderable of a fuss before they give
their ages. too.
There was one old man VINO raised
n terrible row about giving his age,
said Mrs. Roudebush. He said he
wouldn't do it. but finally he did. He
was 81 Another man refused to give
his age and. when one of the clerks
suggested putting it down as 90 ne
flew into a rage and we thought our
time had come"
they're getting away with it-and
some of them are. but there are others
who are rot. When the clerks nave
a suspicion that an age, as given, IS
incorrect. they look back thru preVl-
Gus registration books tArent women
o
registered before. they've got him cold.
a little arithmetic is all that is neces-
sarY.
Now. the registration clerks are
lnystified by this action on the part of
some of the men. Why should they
not want to give their correct ages
his year. when they have never made
objection before, they ask.
The answer is very simple, the
writer believes. What year is this?
] cap year. that's right. Men cutting
down their ages and it's leap year
see the point? 1t is thought these
men who have misstated their ages
believe that younger men offer more
attraction TO women seeking husbands.
Maybe they are right in their belief,
maybe not.

Brings Home Utah Bride

Little did Marshall Flakes
many friends think when he left
some time ago for Utah that
he had in mind something un-
usual or out of the ordinary.
What was their surprise Monday
to see him arrive home with a
life partner. The bride was
formerly Miss Malinda Wright,
a resident of Brigham City, Utah,
and is a handsome and accom-
pIished young lady. The groom
is too we'll known all over Navajo
county to need any Introduction
from us and for many years has
been a member Of the firm of
Flake Bros. The newly weds
are residing temporarily at the
home of the groom's mother.

Printing for Farmers and
RanCherS

This Office makes a speciality
of printing letter heads, envel-
opes, receipts, etc., for farmers
and ranchers. Nicely printed
stationery, bought in sufficient
quantity, costs but little if any
more than inferior grades of
paper purchased here and there,
and with your name, address
and character Of your business
printed upon it, at once becomes
a great deal more valuable to
anyone who carries on either
business or social correspond
ence. The printed words help
to eliminate mistakes in your
name and address and the char
acter of your business, while
they also lend tone and dignity
to your correspondence.

"A-ha?" "Uh-Huh!!"
(Contributed)

A number of young people
numbering along around ten
planned an extraordinary outing
the last of the week to the He
Der Ranger Station and give the
Bachelor Ranger" a thrilling
and awe-ful extensive party. So
Notwithstanding the pleasant"
blizzard Saturday, they boasted
themselves tough and able to
cope with Senor Weather Man
and left town in two cars about
2 2. M, but alas! on reaching
the enormous distance of about
four miles from town the mud
and sleet became so miserable
and distasteful that they decided
to quit. So they came back suf-
fering a grave disappointment
having wasted an extremely ad-
mirable effort, and frequented a
remote barn and spread a few
knick-knacks to soothe their dis
appointedness. Also -neverthe-
less however but we learn
from Heberward that Bachelor
Ranger" wore the paint off his
broom handle in two whole days
of cleaning house inside and out
for the great event; and that his
kind and hospitable neighbors
hearing of his great disappoint-
ment hooked up" old Pony and
Kit and drove over Sunday noon
to partake and rid him of his
most delicious eatables which he
had prepared for the fastidious
taste of the open air seeking par
ty.
Now-people may grin about
Heber but the citizens of said
burg are made up of hospitality
and sociability. They always
welcome visitors with the utmost
cordiality. While everyone SYM
patbized with the ranger in his
friends not being able to come
from town, the day by no means
dragged and most palatable
dinner and afternoons visit was
enjoyed by all present. The first
proposition would have been"
swell but the latter was by no
means common.
Try it again, people.
