tons at Bullion Canyon, returned to-

with the work.
James Chatterley, Will Macfarlane
and a number of others are talking
Of opening a club room some place in
Cedar, one Of the chief objects being
to provide place where they can
play pool at an expense of only a
membership fee of about S1.O0 per
month, and their time. The PROPOSE
ton has not yet assumed tangible
form, but various locations for the
club are being considered.
The present indications are that
Cedar is going to act as host at the
dance and supper to be rendered to the
winners of the rabbit hunt on the 20.
The report is that the Parowan hunt
ers are out shooting almost daily; that
the city is furnishing them with am
munition for practice purposes, and
that most of the men will hunt on the
backs Of horses trained for this class
of sport So far, Cedar City has done
practically nothing. Everybody is so
busy with the problem of making a
living, that they haven't time nor
money TO practice the game. This be-
ing the case, it is easy to choose the
winners of the hunt.
Young men, and particularly you
young married men, do not forge,
yourselves, your business of work, en-
tirely when you get TO playing pool
because IL you do and loiter day after
SAY OF your time away as some are
doing and spend all the money that
should 40 60 the support of your fam
lilies, you will very soon create an i'd
verse sentiment against the pool hall
and II proprietor, with the result that
the council will be asked to designate
il as a nuisance and close il down. We
really see no harm in an occasional
game Of pool, but If it is carried TO
the extreme, ii becomes a serious ag-
gravation to the families at home and
you will unconseiously destroy the
privilege you appear to prize. Be rea-
he rational.
