Worried Hero.

A critic Of Wells novel, Marriage -
finds in the confounding of the hero
"the desire to have 1t all ways; to pos
sess a woman who shall have all the
charm and the caprice of the eternal
feminine; who shall, by the grossness
OF her desires and the pettiness Of
conversation, give him an agreeable
sense Of superiority, and yet shall, to
order, acquire deep spiritual insight
when her husband feels he needs it."

Many Deadly Meapona.

Some persons attribute all crime
to the pistol, forgetting that history
tells US that more crimes were com.
mitted in the world before there were
pistols. What is to prevent a person
murderously inclined from obtaining
and using a carving knife, an ice pick,
an ak, or hatchet, razor or baseball
bat? These all make deadly weap-
ons.

thoroughly discussed. 1t was found
that there would be some seed re
quired this spring for planting
which could not be furnished loc-
ally, which consisted principally of
alfalfa. timothy. bromus grass and
peas. The members of the club
| reported the amount and kind of
seed required by each and a cash
order was made up that night and
sent out. The seed arrived
recently and is pronounced by
the farmers to be par excellent.
A good crop throughout is look
ed for in this district.
h. d. )wman, who was an arded
the contract for building the new
school house. is expected to arrive
here within the next few days, a.
which time he will put his forces
to work on completing the new
school house, further work being
discontinued in the latter part Of
December on account of extremely
cold weather. The trustees report
that the demand for the larger
building is being felt more and
more every day. as many new
children are coming in with their
parents, who are getting ready for
spring work on their farms. 1t is
expected that the new S25, 900
building will completed by May.

cent action taken by the creditors of
the two companies in having a re.
ceiver appointed to handle the COM
panies affairs as a going concern.
Mr. Bacon advised those present that
the intervies which appeared in the
Salt Lake Tribune OH March "a
comprised practically all he was
able to give them at the present
time, and he did not think any one
on the project would he vitally
affected by the action taken. He
stated that the order of the court
which he read to the meeting, gave
him the authority to continue the
companies as going concerns and
keep the property in repair, and
that the action did not in any way
relieve the Company from it's
obligation to furnish water to it's
settlers or other contract obligation
At the closing of his address
he invited questions to be asked,
all of which he answered to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
The Neighborhood Club gave it's
