IFiSHR0U0H AWTH HERO ES FROM
: AMERICAN AMY IN FRANCE
I The realities or war made them
selves felt in Ogden this morning
when a train carrying two cars of
wounded soldiers stopped over for a
short time.
There were forty boys, all of whom
had seen from one year to IS months
actual service in the trenches, and
now thoy are being taken to th.e Lot
terman hospital in San Francisco, the
hospital nearest their home, for all
these boys are from the state of Cali
fornia, and California may well be
proud of them, for it has been a dear
sacrifice they have paid for their
victory.
They were all wounded. Some had
suffered the loss of an arm or a leg.
One poor chap who had been gassed,
and was feeling the altitude. Yet they
were happy and brave, because they
were getting nearer home, and as one
said, "'The nearer home we get the
better wo feel."
The men were in charge of Captain

the music department of the Utah Ag
ricultural college, announces that
plans are now under way for the pro
duction oftho annual college opera

been in charge of the music depart
ment the past two years, while Pro

A great array of talent is said by
Professor Johnson to be available. Not
only are many of the persons who have
starred in previous productions back
at school, but stars in high school pro
ductions In both Utah and Idaho will
register at the beginning of the winter
quarter on December 30.
Aside from the opera work the choir
and men's and women's glee clubs, or

carefully taking them from their land

pital at the coast.
New Bandages.
Already thoy were beginning to
make preparations for their departure
from the train, which will not take
place until tomorrow. But their arms
wore being placed in clean fresh
slings, their bandages all changed to
pure white ones, and everything was
being done to make them as comfort
able as possible.
Canteen workers wont through the
trains with ice cream, cakes, smokes
.and everything that boys from the
front would like to have. And as the
train pulled out, one felt that words
wore too few that might be said In
commendation, in praise, in gratitude
tor these men, who had gone over,
and had made the sacrifice for country.

tinue as usual.
Strong courses in instrumental mu
sic as well as vocal, are offered also,
an added room and much now equip

CLERKS IN STORES, FAILING TO
WEAR MASKS, II BROUGHT
INTO CITY COURT Al FINED
Offenses against the health regula
tions took up the time of Judge Rob
erts this morning in municipal court,
and it was necessary for the judge to
explain at length that the court was
not a place in which the advisability
or non-advisability of the wearing of
the mask could bo discussed. What
thc court intends to do throughout the
serious days of the epidemic is to back
up by all means in Us power the work
of the health boards of the city and
see that due penalty is exacted from
those who wilfully or in negligence
disobey tho rules as set forth.
Rhoda Williams, a clerk in tho W.
H. Wright & Sons department store,
was the first offender to appear, and
pleaded guilty to the non -wearing of
a mask while attending on customers
i yesterday. In her statement to the
court, Miss Williams pleaded that to
, wear the wask at all was for her a
real misery as she suffers of asthma.
"I. can quit work but I can not wear
the mask," she said.
The Judge explained that the court
had no Intention of seeming to be
without human consideration, but the
regulations of the city to be at all ef
fective must be enforced and he fined
the defendant in the sum of $10.
Parley T. Wright offered testimony
to the fact that the defendant does
suffer o an asthmatic condition due to
hay fever and that last night he had
ordered the defendant to consult a
prominent physician of tho cfty who
said that "tho wearing of a mask by
.Miss Williams must necessarily be a
miserable experience."
Objects to Law.
Mrs. Reynolds, an employee in the
Hess Bakery, reluctantly pleaded
guilty to a similar offense and in
formed the. court that, even in times of
epidemic, "rules are framed, to hit
those who have to work for 'their liv
ing the hardest."
The-court took time to point out the
aim of the health regulation and came
to the conclusion that defendant had
not wilfully, but carelessly, forgotton
the order and that it would be neces
sary for her to pay a fne of $5.
Samuel Miller, arrested by Officers
Richardson and Nelson pleaded not
guilty to not wearing a mask while
waiting upon customers, and owing to
the fact that tho arresting officers'
evidence was far from conclusive, the
court dismissed the case. ,

H II MILES L. JONES, 1 il
II Superintendent of Parks and Public Property. 1 1
Thomas, appeared to answer complaint
made by Special Officers Steck and
Skinner in which ho was charged with
allowing clerks in his store to wait
on customers Thursday afternoon
Without wearing masks.
Mr. Last explained that he had done
his best, since the regulations wero
first published, to see that all his
clerks wore obedient, but that it was
not always possible to bo aware of the
momentary negligence of the clerks.
Clerks in the firm's store, who waited
on customers without adjusting their
masks, were acting contrary to the
firm's orders as well as against tho
health regulations.
Judge Roberts claimed that tho of
ficers had made a mistake In bringing
Mr. Last into court and that the per
sons to be brought should be the ac
tual offenders, and ordered tho case
dismissed.

The following poem was written by
Kaj E Wyatt of Tremonton, Utah,
j whllp doing guard duty "over there"
! and watching for enomy planes. Young
Wyatt has been in France since May,
1918.
! JUST THINKING
Sitting out there in my pup tent,
Looking above in the mist,
A tin hat over my Ivory
And a field glass In my fist.
j Waiting, watching and wondering,
Looking for a Hun up there.
Say, aren't the things you think of
Enough to give you a scare?.
Things you haven't thought of
For a couple of months or more;
Things that will set you laughing;
I Things that will make you sore.
Things that you saw in the movies;
Things that you saw in the street;
Things you're really proud of,
, Things that aren't so sweet.
Friends that you left behind you.
Stories you hear and forgot;
Ball games and birthday parties,
Hours of drill in v tho wcL
Headlines, recruiting posters,
Sunset, way out at sea,
Evenings of paydays Golly,
It's a queer thing, this memory.
Faces of pale in God s land,,
Voices of women folks;
Verses you learned In school days,
Pop up in the mist and smoke,
As you sit there holding that field
glass
A-stnring and chilled to the bone,
Wondering, wondering, wondering,
Just thing there all alone.
When will the war be over?
When will the gang break through?
What will the U. S. A. look like?
What will there be to do?
Where will the Boches be then?
Who will have married Nell?
When's that relief a-coming?
Geo, but this think's hell.
