A Suggestion.

Several people have offered
the suggestion that the City
council should appoint more
members on, the health board,
and that they should be ladies.
This is by no means bad idea,
as it is we'll known that ladies
are far more energetic in the
matter of having a sanitary
town than the gentlemen. Be.
sides they have a keener sense
Of the fitness of things and will
work more jealousy for the
health Of the town.
IL would be a good idea for our
city fathers to work on this sug-
gestion and appoint at least three
ladies on the health board.

The free public Library board
have been busy the past month
or two working up sentiment in
favor of a public library building
and negotiating with the
Carnegie Library Commission TO
secure sufficient funds TO erect a
suitable building in Cedar.
The City Council have mani
tested their approval by meeting
in special session and passing a
resolution TO levy a "a mill tax
for this purpose, which will give
sufficient funds for the main
tenance Of a $l5, 600 building.
The Library Committee, with
the assistance of Howard X.
briggs have made out the neces-
sary application and the council
has notified the Carnegie Com
mission of their action and as
sures them that the city of Cedar
will see that the proper amount
will be secured for mainte-
nance.
So far everything has gone
along nicely and the indications
are that Cedar will have a
Carnegie Library within a year,
The spot upon which it will be
built is ideal and centrally locat-
ed, the city having secured from
the Church that piece of ground
facing on Main street known as
the Relief Society lot, just north
of the tabernacle.

Just a Forerunner.

Ii is no doubt rather earley in
che day to refer TO political can
didates who may aspire to public
Office next year. But as il
is near 10 the time when suitable
material will be talked of the
Record draws the attention of
the people to the fact that Iron
County should have the most re-
label man in the county for
Representative.
MILFORD Day was our last Rep
resentative and did yoeman ser
vice and worked consistently and
presistantly for Iron County, He
now has had the necessary eX-
perience and it would seem to be
the proper thing to send him
back, because he would be better
able TO do the necessary work
for the county, having got 'or
to the ropes, as the saying
goes.
Those who are interested
should begin to think of this
matter and If in their judgment
they can find a better man than
Representative Day they should
let that fact be known. This
office is of vital Importance tc
the citizens of Iron County anC
they cannot begin too early tC
decide upon the best man for the
position.

Prof. Boyles Lectures.

Wednesday night Prof. Boyles
of Salt Lake City lectured to the
people on agriculture and the
raising and marketing of home
products. He also talked on the
subject of the prize that is
offered by the Utah National
Copper Bank of Salt Lake City.
This prize is offered TO the boy
who can raise the best potatoes.
Prof. Boyle talked along the
same lines to the Normal students
Thursday morning after which
he left for Kararra and the Dixie
country.

On Street Lighting. .

There has been some little talk
about the amount Of street light
ing that Cedar receives, some
saying that we have sufficient,
others that we have too much,
and still others that we do not
have enough.
The mayor of Cedar City would
like to know the real sentiment
in this matter and is very de-
sirous of finding out whether the
light service we receive is salts
factory.
As it is today it is expensive,
yet when the size of the town is
taken into consideration, and the
number of lights there is it is
evident that the price is not ex-
horbitant.
The City of Cedar pays month
ly to the Electric Light Il Power
Company the sum of SAP, and it
costs on an average for broken
and burned-out globes $500 per
month, making total of $4,000.
In order to learn whether or
not the light service is salts
factory to the majority of the
people a plan has been suggested
that will probably give the de-
sired information. That is for
everyone interested to write on a
postal card his or her views and
mail the same to the City Re-
corder. If it is found that the
service is not satisfactory. or that
we have too many lights, or not
enough, the council can then
remedy the matter.
AS for the editor of the Record.
it is his opinion that we have
enough lights. but they are not
strong enough, and we should
very much like to see stronger
candle power lamps used.
We realize, however, that it is
rather costly to the city, and if
stronger lights were used it
would cost more proportionately.
Still it seems to us that stronger
lights could be put on every cross
street and but one in the middle
of each block which would re-
duce the number Of lights, and
yet use no more electricity than
we do now.
Think the matter over and
then write your views ON a card
and mail to the recorder. Do it
at once and let the council see
that you are interested.

1t would seem that the feeling
of apprehension regarding the
danger of American intervention
in Mexico is even keener down
there than it is here, in view of
the Semi-official threat that if in
tervention does take place, every
American in Mexico would be
assassinated. That's a bad
threat: but think of the retri-
button which in time would over
take the assassins. However,
there's no desire on the part of
this country to get embroiled
with Mexico, and if snch a thing
should happen. it would happen
regardless of threats or fear of
consequences.

Sure; we all knew the Colonel
couldn't stay out of the fray.
And it all adds to the gayety Of
nations.
Already the sight of his hat in
the ring has melted all of the
other political camps to inten, e
activity.
Such a cannona ing as is going
on from all the campaign head
quarters in Washington. Now
the Colo, els voice will be added
to the din. With so many candi-
dates in the field on both sides it
really looks as if it were a very
open season for huntsmen in the
Presidential preserves. And it's
limited that the woods are simply
full of dark horses which will
emerge at the first sign of a
deadlock in either convention,
ready TO run around the bunch
and get under the wire first.
Some Of the best guessers among
the politically wise think. how
ever, that no dark horse will win
out in either convention.

edy happened on an oshin liner
that has just got into port.
a woman's life was almost
reced and a mans hart was
busted, all by a little mistake by
yung lady that was very sorry
when she Termed what she had
did.
on the steamer there was 2
yung ladys that was sisters, and
they had a stateroom with an
uther lady that was not SO yung.
still,sh was some looked and,
as she had trunks full of glad
rags, she generally had the guys
piping when she took her prom
menade.
there was a french boob that
took nawful shine to the dame,
and her to him likewise.
the first couple of days at sea
everybody noticed how strong
they was for each uther.
then 1t happened.
one of the yung ladys that was
in the room with this woman, she
had trouble with her stummick,
like some people does on the
oshin.
she got to feeling squally in
the night, and she SEES to her sis

lizzie got up and fumbled
around and found glass about

THE LITTLE WHITE FILLY
BY Harold Carter.

Old Stephan Brand was a pros
porous farmer In 0udtshoorn, in
habited mainly by well-to-do Boer
formers and ranchers. A close
listed old Dutchman he was re-
puted to be: yet OF all things per-
haps he loved his fleet white filly
Pearl. When she won the local
races by many lengths he sent her
to Cape Town and Kimberly; but
here, also she outstripped all in
her class. II she had been beaten
II would have broken his heart,
men said. But she never was
beaten.
The war broke out. EnSli=.:
troops by the thousand swarmed
over the land. The Dutch repub-
lies, fighting doggedly, were beat
en- to their knees. Here and there
a few guerrilla bands remained.
Some of these had invaded the
colony and were invading Oudt-
shoorn. Stephen Brand secretly
aided them with provisions; he
dared do no more.

That the Mothers Pension is an absolute neees-

ager of the Associated Charities of this city. Mr..
Hoover is in favor of pensoning mothers unable to

and distress in little families where they are almost
helpless at present.
