Not the least enjoyable among the
social functions that are frequently

years ago. membership in the same

reminest eaoes of the early days on
the tract, together with a literary
and musical program. and of course
the refreshment part of the program
is not overlooked.
AS the years roll by these meetings
will become of more interest, and
especially will the newcomers and
the younger element take pleasure in
listening to the tales of pioneer life
as told by the members of the club.

The Development Of Jerome

In speaking of jerome. to appreci-
ate its growth and development, it is
well to remember that the first build
ings were erected in the fall of 1907
in a desert of sagebrush. the nearest
water being at Blue Lakes, 10 miles
away. which had to be hauled in
tank wagons to supply the settle
ment, to appreciate its growth and
development.
Jerome was incorporated as a vii
lage in 1909. shortly after the water
had been turned on the land for the
first time. The founders and pro
moters of the town had laid it out on
IA large scale. making provision for
parks and schools. planting poplars
and naples on both sides of its
streets. installing water system and
providing for electric power. The

More and more. the people are
feeling that jerome is home to
them and are Identifying themselves
with and becoming a part of il. This
can be seen in the interest taken in
public affairs and in permanent i'm
provement of the homes and sur
roundings. In the better class of
residences built during the last year
and contemplated for the coming
year. is another evidence of the citi-
zens' contentment. In fact the out
look is very good for Jerome for the
coming year. not only for those deal
ing i'm real estate and merchandise,
but also for the builder. Besides
the buildings under construction,
contracts have been let for several
good residences and plans drawn for
n number more. A double store room
is now under construction. a garage
so X 100 in sight. and big business
block under consideration. So we
may all expect to be busy in helping
to build larger and better Jerome.

and Mrs. J. r. krivanek. who has the
distinction of being the first baby
