TRAVELS 100
MILES ALL ALONE.
Little Ruth Kessinger Makes
Trip From California
Unaccompanied

Eleven hundred and fifty miles is
considerable of journey for grown
up folks, and great big undertak-
ing for seven year old girl to
negotiate alone.
Such, however is the accomplish
ment of little Ruth Kessinger who
arrived last week from Long Beach,
California, to make her home with
F.W. Beckman and wife.
Little Ruth's mother has been
dead nearly two years and Mrs.
Beckman was a bosom chum of Mrs.
Kessinger during the later years of
her life and also has known Ruth
since she was a wee tot
Mrs. Beckman will give little Ruth
wonderful home and educate her
and is very happy over the fact that
she can be mother to such a
wonderful little girl.
Ruth's father came with her as
far as Los Angeles which is about
10 miles out of Long Beach, and
gave her the railroad ticket to
Mountain Home, and after telling
the conductor her destination, bade
her goodbye as the long train swept
out of the union station
AS soon as Daddy" was out of
sight and she had swallowed the
lump in her throat, Ruth began to
inspect her travelling companions
and take in the surroundings.
Not being too bashful to make her
self acquainted she soon had bosom
companions and began to enjoy the
novelty of the long journey.
The dusky faced pullman porter
gave the pillows an extra pat and his
face lit up with smile of remini-
sence, as he peeped through the cur
tains of the berth and wondered if
the same moonlight was smiling on
his own piccaninnies in the south
land, that was Illuminating the face
of his little charge.
There was change of cars at
Salt Lake City, where the conductor
turned little Ruth and her life sized
dollie over to the matron with whom
the little girl spent several hours.
At nine o'clock Mrs. Union Pacific
took Ruth to her sleeper and with
a goodnight kiss, tucked her into
bed and when the train steamed out
through the valleys and deserts at
IL P. NJ. Ruth was sound asleep and
rs snug as a bug in a rug.

DELAYED IN TRANSIT

Ralph Osborn and his genial part
ner Seward doubtless were making
great plans on celebrating st. Pat
rick's Day. They evidently over
looked the fact that the demand for
green paint might evceed the sup
ply on hand.
Having made up their minds that
they did not care what color the
painter used on the front Of the hard
ware store, just so it was green. they
let the order stand. with the result
that their ST. Patrick's painting par
ty was held up until this week.
Anyhow, boys, just as long as you
keep on using paint, no matter what
the color is. we're for you. It's a
good example to set, and your store
front looks fine.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear son
and brother, James Ogden, Jr., who
passed away March 10, 1920.
Why did he go when life seemed fair,
And no dark clouds were near,
10 dim the brightness of our lives,
Or start the bitter tear?
We thought not at the close of day,
When night veiled earth and sky,
That one SO full Of life and hope
Would breathe the last goodbye.
Sadly missed by his father, mother,
sister and brothers.
