PLURAL MARRIAGES
Head of Mormon Church
Reiterates Attitude on
Marriage.

Salt Lake City. Utah, April THE
position of the church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, or as it is COM
monty called, the Mormon church, on
marriage was reiterated by president
Joseph F. Smith in his sermon opening
the S1st annual conference of church.
He said in part:
I'VE ought to obey the rule of the
church with regard to marriage. As
announced time and time again at these
conferences plural marriages have
ceased in the church. There is no man
authorized to perform a plural mar
rage We have been doing all in our
power to stop this. We have been do
ing all we can to trace the men who
are performing these ceremonies. 1t is
hard to locate them but when we do
find them, we will deal with them"
Reviewing church statistics, presi-
dent Smith announced that during the
year just past there was one divorce
to each 5000 church members, as COM
pared to- one divorce to each 100 souls
in the United States.

THERE are two kinds of country
N towns-those which aspire to
to be big cities and those
which recognize their place
and opportunity as country towns. The
former have more ambition than COM

idea that the best of life is represented
by the city and that the best measure
Of u city's worth is it's size.
The desire to grow in numbers may
be to a certain extent laudable am

and the ambition to come into closer

The most prominent method has
been to deposit the oil upon the sur
face Of a dirt road which had been
previously graded and narrowed. let

until some of the lighter portion had
soaked into the soil as we'll as evapo-

with harrow so as to break up the
oil cake and allow 1t to mix with the
earth. In six or seven days after the
first oiling the road was given Sec

was allowed to stand as before. then
