MoRELAND ON THE MAP.

starting the Work OF securing WEat
the community needs and stopping
some things that are not needed.
They are taking it from the right
standpoint, and getting the needed
things to going first, and that will to
some extent put an end to the things
and practices not needed.
They want a post office and need
some rural routes out of there TO
serve the people in the edge of the
desert who have heretofore been
without service or who have to go
+, too great distances to their mail
boxes. Moreland wants band and
it has it,; it wants bank and it is
going to try to get it; it wants a
depot and they are going after It.;
| it wants an athletic hall with full
equipment and it is arranging for 1t;
/ it wants better amusement for the
young folks and it is planning and
working for those things. 1t wants
to do away with the loafers club
and the knockers club, and when
they have choked the one they will
have strangled the other. The loaf
! ers who have been in the habit OF
| assembling and telling yarns and
finding fault, are not to have their
dinners served at home hereafter,
but will be invited to pungle up the
coin for liquid nourishment at the
lunch counter of the new soda foun-
tain. The men who do not carry
wood and water and turn the washer
and the wringer for their wives Will
be adiudged members in good stand
ing in the loafers' club and will not
be permitted to carry the butter and
eggs to the store and swap them for
cheese and tobacco. The lady OF the
house will attend to that and Will
exchange them for the necessities, or
if they are stocked with them she will
invest in some lingerie and millinery,
Easter clothes and things to make
her look attractive and feel fine at
the next meeting of the commercial
club where she will offer suggestions
for the good of the community.
The following poem was read at
the club meeting last week and is
the official literature of the club for
the present:
Important Happenings Today
We've all assembled here today
TO show respect in grateful way
10 an organization which is the best
Of any club in the east or west.
1t may be that some of you think
We're simply here to eat and drink;
TO laugh and chat, to dance and sing
Make light of the program and that
sort of thing.
But we'll warrant you'll all know
more
Before the days gone what it's for.
Be sure you hear just what we say
The Relief society began IA years
ago today.
Of it's Importance we need but say,
It's a blessing to hundreds every
day;
in love and kindness in words and
deeds
1t gives to us what We really need.
Even some of the men have been
heard to say,
That the R. S. women know as much
as they.
With mans amount Of self-con-
ceit,
We think that compliment hard
to beat.
We're glad the men will acknow-
ledge how
They enjoy the seventeenth of March
now
They're even more anxious for it to
come
Than the children for Santa to visit
the nome.
And now it's here let each one try
To pass the day without sigh;
Don't get in crowds and draw line,
But all join together and have
good time.
The Brass Band
Oh, don't be ashamed and hide your
faces,
But sit up straight and show your :
faces;
Today we won't ask you for a selec-
ton
