Big Attendance at L. ID. S.
Quarterly Conference

Quarterly conference of the
L. d. S. church, held in Snow
fake last Saturday and Sunday.
was said to be one of the best
that has yet convened in this
section. There was a large at
tendance at each meeting.
Adam S. Bennion, superin-
tendent of church schools. and
his wife. were the only visitors
at the conference from Salt Lake
City. Supt. Bennion in his talk
Sunday afternoon paid, among
other things, a beautiful tribute
to mothers. He is pleasant,
convincing speaker and kept the
attention of his hearers in all
of his talks.
AT the Sunday afternoon meet
ing, Pres. Sam'l F. Smith made
a few remarks regarding the
continuance of the Academy in
Snowflake. He stated that the
Endowment Fund with the pres
ent appropriation would assure
the school continuing for an
other year or more, and that if
a certain amount were raised
that Supt. Bennion thought the
church school board would ap-
propriate a similar amount to
keep the school going indefi-
nitely. However, the superin-
tendent was not sure of this
fact. but would have to meet
with the school board and put it
up to the members of same.
1t is hoped by all that the
Academy will be 'weIl estab-
lished" in Snowflake for time
to come.

Girl Makes Long Trip
On Foot and All Alone

Travelling afoot, all alone, on
a twenty-mile hike, is some out of
the ordinary experience, even
for grown up man, but when
it comes to a young lady accom-
plishing such a feat, then it
is really worth relating.
Miss Beth Pace, oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Pace
Of this city. made the twenty
mile trip on April 20 from the
Pace ranch at Joppa to Snow
flake. walking the entire dis
tance all alone. She no doubt
thought some chance ride would
present itself, but luck was
against her. When it is known
that Miss Beth is not probably
over seventeen years old, it
makes the story still more in
teresting. The country through
which she passed is a desolate.
lonesome one. and ranches are
few and far between. What
would an eastern girl think of
taking a hike like this?

H., can shoe a horse quicker

sings while he shoes. -
1t took. him just eighteen min

This betters the Canadian rec

believed to be a worlds record.
Combined with the Zion City
athletes speed there was good
workmanship.
The horse wore a No. 3 shoe.
The job included a welding of
caulks, turning of heels, dressing
the feet and shoes and mailing
Cn0m on.
Robertson sings a song about
Old Tubal Cain, supposed to be
the first blacksmith, when he is
mailing on shoes.
1t runs like this:
Old Tubal Cain was a man of
might.
In the days when earth was young
BY the fierce red light of his
anvil bright.
His powerful blows they rung.
