TO REGULATE
UTAH MARRIAGE
FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
WILL WORK TO SECURE LEGI-
STATION TENDING TO HEALTH
AND MORALITY.

The women of Utah. through the
Utah Federation of Women's clubs
submitted eve questions pertaining
to legislation to the candidates in the
last election for governor and for the
legislature. Two of the questions
we're:
Are you in favor of and will you
support an amendment to the present
marriage law which will require a
certificate of health from a reputable
physician showing applicant to be
free from transmissable or com
municable diseases?
Are you in favor of strengthening
the present yeneraf disease law?
DR.. Jane S%kolfeld, who lectured
before the Sunday Night club in the
Guild hall, touched on this very sub
ject, and Mrs. Jennings and DR.. Cow
ans of the high school brought out
the necessity of clean habits and pure
minds, one speaking to the girls and
the other to the boys in separate
bodies. This agitation for better
sex conditions is not local to Utah,
but all over the country comes a de-
mand for improvement.
The Ohio state board of health, in
it's last bulletin, says:
Referring to the thirty-nine who
replied favoring legislation, the COM
mittee stated: I'VE have pledges of
support from candidates over their
W signatures and we will show
those who are successful that they
cannot play football with us at his
next session of the legislature like
they did at the last"
Replying to a letter enclosing cop
les of the four resolutions adopted by
the State Medical association, Mrs.
A. j. Gorham, president of the fed
Grafton, stated. 1.-THE same subjects

given in the Legislature by our com

Something Coming.
ROY K. MuIton.D

Troy K. Multon.)
Gosh us kids is awful good
Now the lawn and lug in wood,
Pick the apples, pound the rugs,
Also pick potater bugs,
Run the errands every day,
In a most obligin' way.
Never stop to question why;
Never stop to make reply;
Do exactly as we're told,
Don't give ma a chance to seold.
Haven't spoken one ross word;
Not a spankin' has occurred
Round our place for most a week;
Sort of quiet, so to speak.
Dad says us kids must be sick,
Wants to call a doctor, quick.
He can't see why we're so good.
III he'd read the signs, he could.
Answers on most every fence,
Stuck regardless of expense.
If dad fails to observe it,
We must Jar his mind a bit.
'Taint no snap to be straight laced
For two weeks and solemn-faced
Workin' mornin', noon and night,
Tell you what, it's sure a fright.
Hope that we can just hold down
Till that circus comes to town.

EhSaS'b.
She tells him that she loves him best
In accents low and sweet.
He's promised her a little nest
With furniture complete.
He tells her that he's loved her since
He met her at a dance,
And says his boss has dropped some
hints
Concerning an advance.
And now his arm is round her
curled;
He smoothes her tresses sleek;
And hand to hand they face the
world
On twenty plunks a week.

Arbor Day Proclamation

Governor Wesley has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation fixing Friday,
April 10, 1912, as Arbor Day:
In full appreciation of the real and
true relation of trees, shrubs and
flowers to the public health, happiness
and comfort, and in order,
that the general interest therein may
be furthered and augmented, ! hereby
name Friday, April 10, 1912, as arbor
day, and urge upon the people of the
state a wide observance of the same.
In this great and inspiring movement,
it is highly important that the interests
of the children be enlisted, for while
we of today may begin the solution of
the problems of reforestization and con-
servation, the conclusion must be
accomplished by those who follow after
us. ], therefore, earnestly recommend
that Arbor day of this year be especially
observed by the public schools and
devoted to the practical instruction of
our youth in these matters essential to
the beauty and betterment of our
homes, our cities, and our state.

York, comes to Coteau opera house

billities and commissioned Mr.. Cameron

They ARE HERE
AND AN INTELLIGENT
CROWD THEY ARE
EDUCATIONAL MEETING OPEN
There Are Teachers From the
Whole Northern Section of
the State and They Seem
to be Having a Very
Good Time

For the past year our teachers and
the Commercial club have been busy
making arrangements TO entertain the
members of the Northern South Dakota
District Educational association which
is meeting in this city today and
tomorrow.
We go to press too early today to
give any of the details bal We can
vouch that a most excellent program
has been arranged for each day and
some of the very best talent from an
educational and musical standpoint have
been secured and there will be no dull
times in the two days sessions.
There was some question as to what
Webster was going to do with SO large
a number of teachers, but our people
have opened their homes to them and
everything is going along without a
hitch and we can tell by the happy
expressions upon the countenances of
u guests that they are as pleased to
be with US as we are to have them.
The city is theirs and if they cannot
find what they want, they should look
up the committees and explain their
wants-that is what the committees
were appointed for. We want you to
go away feeling the warmest kind of
spots in your hearts for our little city
and that you will all be anxious to
come again.

The Nash Lecture

Prof. George w. Nash delivered his
lecture on the Passion Play at the
opera house last night. Owing to some
misunderstanding the moving picture
machine did not arrive and that feat
ure had to be dispensed with. The
professor is a very pleasing talker and
having a subject about which all had
read and heard so much, the lecture by
one who had visited the old country
and saw the play, was especially inter-
esting and was very much enjoyed by
all. The machine arrived today and
this evening promptly at 7:38 the pro-
fessor will give the lecture again free.
Those who attended the lecture last
evening speak in the highest terms of
the musical program which was rem
dered and those who were not present
missed a rare treat. South Dakota
takes no second place for talent of any
and all kinds.

Club nj Getting

The Producers Mutual Benefit Club
met again in the Fiksdal school house
Saturday afternoon with a large
attendance in spite of the bad weather
and roads. Discussions were brought
up by the members relating to what
the candidates ought to do if elected.
The sentiment of the members seem to
be against the county commissioners
allowing the treasurer and auditor any
clerk hire.
The discussions for the next meeting
will be on the same topic. All candi-
dates are invited to be present.
Six new members were added to our
list at the last meeting, we now have
seventy-three members.
The next meeting will be held in the
Everson school house May IL, at z p.
m. All members are requested to be
present.

Club. an organization to get our boys
interested in corn growing and stimu-
late an interest for better farming
among the older people.
The way the people took hold of the
matter it looks as though they were
interested in better farming and a bet
ter future for u boys and girls.
Indeed, it does look now as though the
next generation of farmers would not
be left with a lot of run down befouled
land to work, but that they a look
back upon the handiwork of their
fathers and say, 'they have done well"
We are going to give prizes for the
best corn raised in the township, in
connection with the Day county corn
contests, also prizes will be given to
the girls for certain work done.
The secretary has been soliciting
funds for premium money, and the
people are taking hold of it in fine
shape, regardless of hard times times
are not hard, just fast.
The following officers were elected to
look after the interests of the club:
Chairman, ID. j. Howell, one of Day
counties most progressive farmers, and
by the way, a candidate for representa-
tive; secretary, Edwin o. Wahl, and
treasurer, o. T. Tieten.
We are expecting some great things
to develop from this club and you will
hear from US again.
