PRESIDENT IN ZION PARK

President Harding's visit to Zion
national park was brief and made
quate from the viewpoint of the
tourist; but the journey becomes
significant in very much larger
sense, and will prove of permanent
and far-reaching value to Utah and
the park. The eyes of the nation
have been oriented towards the
newest of the nations Fairgrounds;
and what is more to the point, the
presidential party, including the two
cabinet secretaries most concerned,
has gained first-hand information as
to the grandeur OF the park, and its
leading needs for the future.
The president and Mrs. Harding
were carried over the sixty-five miles
of interesting highway from the end
of the new railroad at Cedar City in
the greatest possible ease, comfort
and safety. This was effected largely
through the splendid night and day
labors of southern Utah's leading
citizens in donation work spent in
removing rocks and smoothening the
native rocks. Also, sentinels were
posted at every village and every
branch road, who held their vigils
all day long, keeping the thorough
fares entirely free from traffic, even
the United States mails being invited
to wait by the roadside in Difference

Harding replied, you should show
them every respect"

man on the edge of the crowd.
The president asked him to come
forward, shook hands with him and
said he was glad to greet him "as
we're all of one aspiration in the
United States"
At the August Johnson farm the
president alighted from his auto and
went into the potato field where he
saw actual irrigation at first hand.
He asked Mr. Johnson a number of
questions relative to costs of produc-
ton and also questioned H. G. Aus
tin regarding agricultural matters.
Senator Gooding assisted in ex-
planning. the agricultural situation
and told the president that Idaho
farmers must have freight rate re-
auctions The president was in
tensely interested in the irrigating
and crop production, and was deeply
impressed by the scenes along the
route.
Returning to the station the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding and Governor
and Mrs. Moore formed a reception
line and hundreds of Idaho people
passed down the line.
Fine specimens of Idaho trout

prepare for his evening meal and
other delicacies were placed aboard
his train for later use.
Newspaper men and photographers
in the party, were not forgotten here
and the Bonneville SpOrtsmen's AS
ISOLATION placed several fine trout on
the train for them. Symbolizing
Idaho as a dairy state the Idaho
Falls Chamber of Commerce pre-
sented the newspapermen with a
special cheese, prepared by the local
factory. A large paper machie po
tato was placed aboard the train to
be presented to President Harding in
advertisement of the Idaho spud.

Editor B. H. Read of the Idaho
Falls Post published the following
under the heading of side lights on
the Presidents trip: 4.
Members of the presidents party
said the Idaho Falls crowd was the
largest that has ever heard the presi-
dent deliver rear platform address.
Those on the train could scarcely be-
lieve their eyes when they saw the
immense crowd that had gathered
here. 81 did not know there were
that many people in Idaho" said one
newspaper correspondent.
The perfect manner in which the
arrangements were carried out in
Idaho Falls called forth much favor
able comment. Veteran travellers in
the special train said they had never
seen a program carried out more
perfectly. Railroad men, accustomed
to handling crowds, gave the laurels
to Idaho Falls for the smooth man
ner in which everything was carried
out.
The crowd at Idaho Falls far
eclipsed the Pocatello crowd in num-
bers and in enthusiasm. Decorations
here were much more elaborate and
there was far less confusion in the
arrangements.
Newspaper men aboard the train
made numerous inquiries about the

An unexpected event had shattered

There was a ring at the dOorbell.
1t was a message from the Jullins,
with a package and letter.
The letter read:

and together they went over to Aunt
Sophia. But Aunt Sophia would not
hear of it. "No indeed Anyway, NOV

But you know we couldn't get a
seat at this last hour for the musical
show" Richard explained. "And any
way, if we did, you couldn't sit with

eyes beamed at that. "NO, of course
you couldn't get a seat there" she
agreed. And l wouldn't let you if you

And she really would. Her face
told them that. For even better than
gayety on Christmas night, is the op-
portunity to do a loving thing for
someone dear to you. And Violet was
dear to Aunt Sophia, and Dick soon
would be!
At the theater Dick suddenly told
himself, 81 know what it is about
