HYDE PARK HEARS
THE MOCKINC BIRD

Hyde Park, Feb. 4.-On Thursday
ond ward choir presented THE
Mocking Bird" to crowded house
here. This was one of the most pleas.
ing and appreciated entertainments
staged here for many years. We
have had many travelling troupes
play here, but from the many express
sions of appreciation heard the last
few days the people enjoyed 1t bet
ter than them all. It was just grand.
Well might the bishopric of Smith
fields Second ward feel proud of
their choir, and Of those who so ably
trained them. All of the leading
parts were well sustained, as were
all of the minor parts. One drawback,
however, was lack of sufficient
room. Better results could have been
attained had the stage been larger.
Well done, Smithfield. come again.
The annual old folks reunion will
be held in the hall Wednesday, Feb
ruary 7th. A good program Is arrang-
ed, and an enjoyable time will be
given the old people.

Mary Wright of Brigham City.
There are still several families

At the last me citing of the board of
governors of the Murray Commercial
club "a committee of three members
was appointed to act as an examin-

merchants of the city.
This committee was appointed fop
the purpose of uniting the merchants
of the city in order to protect them
against all manner of fake schemes
that are ordinarily sprung upon the
merchants of a town in the forming
of advertising and investment propos.

In the past few years hundreds, yes
thousands of dollars has been literally
thrown away by .nants of
this city in the form of advertising

more or less than fake schemes and

Not only is this the case in adver.
Using, but many forms of investment
have been given consideration
throughout the cities by our citizens
to their great sorrow and a material
financial loss.
With these things thoroughly con-

while to add warning against the
indiscriminate and excessive use OF
large quantities of water. Further
more, nothing that has been said is
intended to lend any support to the
American custom of drinking water
that is ice-cold. The experiments of
Hawk and his pupils indicate that
our ideas with regard to the drinking
of water must be revised, but We
must wait for reports of observations
from a larger body of observers. In
the meantime, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association We
may allow water more freely with
meals, subject to the individual excep.
tons which experience brings out.
