executive committee of five. Those
elected to this committee were: Guy
Long, Elmer Kittleson, A. j. Jarvis,
Albert Ullman and l.. T. Carney.
The committee has power to elect
their own officers and authority to
report back to the club at their next
meeting constitution. One of the
first and most important moves is to
secure school for this section and
immediate steps will be taken in this
direction.
This section Of the country is on
the eve of great development. The
land is practically all taken up and
the advent of the settlers is at hand.
Those who have already broken
ground, find results in the way of
garden vegetables, oats and wheat
that offer great surprises. Even with
the crude methods employed in the
first breaking, wheat shows stands
that are strong and heavy, and this,
too, in the face of the fact that it was
hailed out this spring.
There has never been time when
eggs would not SELL
Pcndcrols is the harvest Montana is
rcaring.
The quality of the grain grown here
is something astonishing. Montana oats
is as large and plump as wheat and
weighs almost as much to the measured
bu,hel as the wheat of the older states
grows.

OUR CIRCUS

circus grand. splendid band.
The wonders of the earth,
In our big tent, which will I've rent
With merriment and mrth.
You girls and boys. who like noise.
Are asked to our big show.
Animals fine will be in line,
And monkeys in a row.
The monkeys dear are very queer,
You'll see them bow and bend
Swing by their tails, hang from the rails.
And many things pretend.
A fife ana drum will make things hum.
And help to swell the crowd
The tines they'll play will make you say,
The music's good and loud.
The smarty clowns in spotted gowns
WIN play some funny. tricks,
On their heads stand and mock the band,
For horses they'll ride sticks.
And they will try to climbs up high,
AS does each silly clown;
Don't worry II a sudden Whit
Should send them rolling down.
You'd better come. don't miss the fun;
A jolly crowd you'll find
The lemonade will be homemade,
Just like the circus kind.
And popcorn true, and peanuts, too
To feed the elephant;
And chewing gum and candy some,
Miss it-you surely can't.
We have a queen, the finest seen;
boy will wear O. gown
OF royal robes niu,.i like poor Jobs;
And on his head crown
With his big feet upon the seat
A wagon for a throne;
And there he'll reign, with his long train,
Good subjects all his own.
Midst colors gay the bands will play.
Parade Will start en- time;
A footing horn, near our big barn,
VIII call them all to line.
Parade, hurrahi The crowds will draw,
And keep them on the spot;
The wagons bright will be a sight,
The finest things we've got.
There'n be sight, which will not bite,
In our menagerie-
1t will not fail--a horse whose tail
Is where his head should be.
Now do not fear, it will be here
But in you I'll confide@-
MY hobby-horse will play the farce,
His tail to the manger tied.

DOMESTIC PETS WELL
DRAWN BY YOUNG ARTISTS
NUE.. GRADE Be

n ETS of all sorts were portrayed by
the boys and girls of Juniordom
4 this week. Beautiful ponies, ugly
ducklngs, cats, chickens, squirrels,
rabbits dogs and burros were some
whose pictures were duplicated over
and over, while pigs, gawlzy colts, ca
nary birds and various other animals
found at least one or two young ar
lists whose interest centered about
them.
In the main the pictures were good,
although it must be confessed that the
topic was not productive of the best
possible results. That was not alto
gether the fault of the boys and girls
who drew the pictures. Part of it was
the fault of the editor of the art de-
partment who selected the topic.
The two subjects now for illustra-
tion ought to produce excellent pic
lures, so that the art pages for the
next two weeks at least may be as
sured of especially good appearance.
There were many pictures this week
which might have been reproduced,
in construction of the picture or in the
workmanship of the figures the work
was meritorious. AS the space for
pictures is limited, however, each of
the best artists could not be repre-
scented this week, but with patience and
persistence they will surely find their
work reproduced within a short time.
Kitty Carlson. 921 East Fifty-fourth
street, whose work has already re-
ceived prizes, was one of the contrib
utors whose beautiful picture of a
horse, saddled and bridled, and ready
for the road, showed a pet to be adj
mired more than a little. Fanny Field
man, 19 American avenue, Long Beach,
sent another drawing of a pony this
time with a child in the saddle which
was desirable from many standpoints,
the barnyard fence showing chickens,
rabbits and a dog by Alta Dunlap.
al East Seventeenth street, was well
planned, but not the best representa-
tion of her work. 1t has not of the
same hgh degree of excellence which
she attains in her composition work.
Nellie Branscom of DoWney, grade 8,
sent a picture of d girl with her pets,
the birds, which is rather better of the
birds than Of the girl, whose arm was
slightly stiff in appearance.

Enters NeU Field of Ende0Uor

The Hubbard Publicity company
has just taken in the c. r. Brazier Ad-
vertising company, which for several
years has been one of the leading con-
Germs Of its kind in the city. Mr.. Bra
zier, former manager and proprietor Of
the company, has been appointed to the
position of publicity agent for the Sui
Ivan Patent Ffreproof Wall & Parti-
ton company. and the new agent will
establish his headquarters in Salt Lake
in the near future.
Mr.. Sullivan's walls are an invention
which he patented several years aso,
and they have already been used in
several of the large buildings in Salt
Lake. J. D. Sullivan. the inventor, was
formerly resident of Ogden, but. rec
ognizing his opportunity. he came TO
Salt Lake to make his home. This new
invention of his, when it comes to be
known throughout the United States,
will bring him fame. and as he also
holds the patent in three countries. the
fame, name and wealth of his achieve
meDt will follow him there.
All the machinery for the manufac-
ture of the patented walls viii be made
in Salt Lake. The walls have only re-
Gently come into use. and are now be
ing installed in many new buildings I'M
der construction in this city.
Mr.. BrazieT is the pioneeuein scien-
tific advertising in Salt Lake. He
founded the pioneer advertising agency
in this city. and has been uniformly
successful in his work
