LOCAL CLUB HAS
GOOD YEAR
REVIEW OF WORK SINCE LAST
JANUARY IN ELMORE DEVELOP
MENT LEAGUE.
MUCH GOOD DONE
MANY THINGS FOR THE GOOD
OF MOUNTAIN HOME hAS BEEN
TAKEN UP.

Occasionally there is q member
that wonders whether the Elmore De-
velopment League is worth while
supporting, and without much detailed
information as TO the work actually
done and beng done by the officers
and members, this Is not to be
wondered at.
SO closely has the work of this
League been associated with the bus
hess and professional men OF this
community, that It's activities and
policies are generally respected and
accepted as beng the best thought
of the active men, unsolfishy think
Ing and working tor our communities
progress. If LA.s League were TO be
dissolved and no similar institution
were 10 take It's place the LOSS To
Mountain Home would be considera-
Die.
