To the People of the Mont
pelier Stake Greetings!

The year 1921 is coming
to a close and we hope that
you will all have a pleasant
happy Christmas il the spirit
in which He in whose honor tie
day is commemorated, will APP
prove.
This year has been one of
financial and labor depression
the world over. There has
been little demand for farm
products, this coupled with low
prices has brought financial
distress to many in not being
able to meet their obligations.
Hardships may come to a
great many people this winter
at home and abroad. Those
who have plenty should keep
those in need. We are glad
that no appeal for material
keep has ever come to the
Church or nation that has not
been answered with the things
needed.
We should be thankful for
our citizenship in this great
nation, and for our homes in
the valleys Of the mountains
where we enjoy peace and the
necessities and comforts of
life. When we compare our
condition with that of some
sections of the earth, where
famine and pestilence stalks
abroad and people do not know

how they are going to get the
necessities Of life from one day
to another we should rejoice.
We should live within our
means and pay our obligations.
Economy should be the watch
word and should be practiced
in our homes and in our public
affairs.
We rejoice in the fact that
President Harding has called
together some of the foremost
statesmen of the great nations
Of the earth to discuss the limi-
tation of ornaments. We hope
and pray that as a result will
come the peace prophesied by
prophets and poets that "They
(thc nations) shall beat their
swords into pillow shares and
their speares into pruning
hooks. Nation shall not lift
up sword against nation nei-
ther shall they learn war any
more" and that the earth may
soon be prepared for the com
ing of the "Prince of Peace. =
We should not be disheartened
but look forward with OPP
timism to do our part in the
readiustment of conditions.
"Look not mournfully into the
past-it comes not back again;
wisely improve the present it
is thine"
To our. associates and CO.
laborers and members Of the
church, we rejoice in our assoc
iating and laboring with you

and your unselfish devotion to
the truth. We commend you
for your faithfulness and de-
votion. May we all be more
diligent in serving God and
keeping His commandments
and may He accept Of our eff
forts and bless us with all
needful blessings. Let us say
with Joshua: GAS for me and
my house we will serve the
Lord.
To our many friends We
appreciate our association with
you and shall stand ready to
cooperate with you in every
movement that shall tend to
uplift the people of this com
munity.
We have sent hundreds Of
missionaries from this valley
to all parts of the world to pro
claim the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Special missionaries
have been appointed to labor at

homes and let them explain to
you the "Glad tidings of Great

sings to all.

MADE QUEER HIDING PLACE
Sleeping Appurtenance Proved Effec-
tive in Concealing Elongated In
divduai in Ladys Bedroom.

Lord Rossmore, who has just died
In England, was a great sportsman
and hunter, and had many good stories,
not only of the hunting field, but of
life in many other places. One of
these concerned his friend, Bay Mid
dleton. whom he describes as one of
the best riders to hounds that ever
lived, and runs as follows:
bay once bet a lady that he could
hide so effectually in her bedroom
that she could never discover him.
She hunted high and low, but never
a trace of the hidden one could she
see.
"The lady was completely at her
wits end, and at last, when she had
literally gone all over the room inch
by inch, she was startled out of her
seven senses by hearing Bays voice
eXclaiming: 'Hullo! | can see you"
This was a puzzler and no mistake,
but the mystery was at last solved, for

RARELY FALLS ON SUNDAY
Fourth of March Said to Have Been
Selected for Presidential Inaug-
uration for That Reason.

The presidential inaugural cere-
March /, because the first Wednesday
of March, 1889, was fixed by the old
Continental congress as the day for
commencing proceedings under the
Constitution of the United States. that
being the fourth of the month. This
Constitution was adopted by the CON
vention over which George Washing
ton presided on September H. 1889,
and was to become effective on the ac-
quiescence of nine of the thirteen orig
inal states BY July. 1883, ten of the
states had ratified the Constitution,
and September ID, 17SS, the congress
of the federation selected the first
Wednesday in January for appointing
electors, the first Wednesday in Febru-
airy for casting their votes and the
frs. Wednesday in March for com
mencing proceedings.
Only four times in the entire 145
years since the United States became
a separate nation has March 4. as in
auguration day, fallen upon Il Sunday.
There is story to the effect that this
date was originally chosen as the COM
mencement of the Presidents term
because congress figured it up and
found that the 4th of March was the
one day in the year which, quadren-
nially. would fall less frequently on

The Rift in
the Fog
By DORA NOLAN

20. 1921, by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)
In Fairhaven the season was draw
ing to a reluctant end. September had
been glorious month. Summer resi-
dents were lingering along, 10th to
leave. Huge woolsacks travelled ma
jestically across the deep blue sky
and were reflected in the waters be-
meath. Never were the sands of the
beaches more dazzlingly white. From
a mile out to seward came the lazy
ding-dong of bell buoy. Orderly lit
tie waves Tapped the shore as regu
larly as the ticking of a clock. 1t
was the beauty of perfection that can
not last.
As the clerk in the office at the end
of the long row of lighthouses looked
up from his book long enough to hand
Milllcent Garrish rubber band from
which dangled a stable key he re-
marked coniidentially, That's the only
one out this afternoon and we close
tonight for the season."
The sun was shining brightly when
Milicent emerged from the bath
house, but far out to sea a thick bank
of mist was visible. The little stretch
of public beach was deserted. There
was no one to admire the slender,
shapely figure revealed by the brown
jersey bathing suit, as it ran down
the sands and plunged into the water.
A hundred feet off shore floated
bathers raft. With long, easy
overland stroke Millicent made the
distance in short order and, climbing
the wooden ladder, seated herself on
the canvas-coyered floor, bare knees
drawn up and hands clasped around
them, looking straight out to sea.
Now she could think.
There was not boat in sight and
the fog had already shut from view
the outlying islands. With no details
to distract ones thoughts the PROPOSE
ton should be ar easy one, Milicent

bert Graham there beside her; and if
the thought of his presence brought
with it a thrill, if it made the water
seem bluer and the clouds whittier.
then the answer she had promised
him that evening would be the one
Gilbert had sought all summer.
Wisps of mist scudding on light
east wind. flew by. The parent bank
of vapor drew closer to the shore. To
the ceaseless song of the bell buoy
was added the eerie below of fog
siren somewhere in the distance. And
Millicents imagination failed in ma
terializing Gilbert Graham sitting
there beside her on the raft. OF a
sudden she realized why she was I'M
able to conjure the picture. Gilbert
sdisliked the sea. He did not even
swim.
Then Millicent realized something
else. The raft was hemmed in on all
sides by the fog. The ding-dong of
the hell buoy seemed to come from be-
hind her now-and yet surely that was
the shore side of the raft Gould she
be confused in her sense of direction?
Anyway. sounds were often deceptive
in the fog she knew that. 1t didn't
matter anyway. What mattered was
whether she really did love Gilbert
Graham-or didn't
But what was that new note, that
steady undertone? Why, it couldn't
be anything but the throb of power
full engines That too seemed to come
from the wrong direction, for there
was not depth of water between the
raft and the shore for any but a
small boat. Whatever it might be was
coming nearer Perhaps the craft had
lost It's way and was in danger of
going ashore
Then abruptly the noise ceased-and
of sudden came rift in the fog

Kinds of Berries.

One kindergarten teacher was in

RED CROSS APPEALS FOR

Opens State Wide Drive for Gar

An appeal has been issued by the

gathering all the wearing apparel they
can to clothe the occupants of the dew
asted areas. They report generous
reponse from the women of this state
and hope that those who have not

Almost no clothing has been bought

May Fete Given.

The May Fete given by the chill
dren of the first six grades, on the
grounds Of the grade school building
last Tuesday afternoon was attended
by large number of the patrons of
the school, all keenly interested in the
recreation work of the children as ex-
emplifed by the program of games,
dances, songs, stunts, etc. The pro-
gram included the children of each
grade who appeared in one or more
of it's numbers combining the work
done by them in singing, and regular
physical exercise work. 1t was be-
cause the program showed the regular
work of the children rather than any
special training done just for the day
that it was of great interest to the
audience. The program closed with
the winding of four maypoles by the
girls Of the schools and the crowning
of the may queen. The entire pro-
gram was very creditably done and
showed the excellence of the work
done throughout the year by Miss
Bergeson who has had charge of the
physical training department, and the
able assistance given her by the
teachers of these grades. Charm was
added to the program by the quaint
and pretty costumes worn by the
small performers.
