EDITOR PAROwAN TIMES
NOSES AROUND CEDAR.

The editor of the Parowan Times
spent a couple of days in Cedar re
Gently, and as a result the following
items with others we're given very
prominent position in the last issue OF
that paper, under Cedar City head
ing:
Alex III. Rollo, editor of the Times,
was seen about the town Friday and
Saturday of last week, "and his many
friends were pleased to see him look
ing so well. Come often Alex"
Thomas Thorley is again thinking
seriously Of converting the basement
of his show house into a dancing hall.
Hope he does, because his building
is much more safe for such purposes
than any other in the town."
The College authorities are putting
up the bars against the vulgar dane
ing that has been prevailing lately.
It is now up to the Ward Hall COM
mittee' TO follow suit after which we
will again have legitimate and clean
dances"
(Superinduced by the fact that one
of the managers of the Ward Hall Is
brother Of the editor of The Record.)
Miss Janet Rollo spent a couple of
days in Parowan taking violin lessons
from Prof. Leon l.. Eckles. Miss
Rollo is one of Prof. Eckles advanced
students and is getting quite profile
lent on the violin.
A seisure of liquor was made by
Sheriff Cory Friday night by which
he secured five cases of whisky. Two
men Of Cedar, one married man, and
the other young unmarried fellow,
are accused of having brought the
stuff from Milford.
If the ladies would but take hold Of
the matter and work at it as enthus-
iastically as they do at other things
the selling of liquor would come to a
sudden stop in our town. Why not
shave the men turn over this particu-
lar part of their work to the ladies"
and let's see what they can do.
1.-THE men seem to be making very
fair progress in the matter. why
head them off and turn it over to the
women? Can it be getting too siren.

other towns of the county would fol-
| low Cedar's example, and back up
what we are doing here, both in the
matter of bootlegging and vulgar
dancing, as well, what lot more good
could be accomplishedD
From reports "there has beer. a
systematic business of bootlegglng
| going on in Cedar for several moths.
| THE Sheriff now has his eye upon
some fellows and they are being
watched closely 1t appears that cheap
| liquor, costing not over ninety cents
per bottle, has been brought to town
and sold for $500 per bottle, profit
that is tempting to the bootleggers."
Cedar has certainly degenerated
since the great uplifting influence of
| the editor of the Times was with
drawn. 1t is nodoubt the only town
in the state where any bootlegging,
| illicit selling of liquor or drinking is
| INDUCED in. At least one would gain
this impression from reading the
Times. We will not harrow up the
past, but people acquainted with the
facts will recall the splendid work of
the present editor of the Times in
keeping his friends from falling into
| the clutches Of the law. Notice the
cunning warning contained in one OF
the above paragraphs, "The Sheriff
now has his eye," etc.
"At last Cedar will have what has
been needed for some years-a swim

and will be an ideal pool for swim.

Cedar must certainly be a dirty
town to have delayed putting in q
swimming pool for so long time, but
still we may yet be ahead Of some OF
the other towns Of this locality A
pool only 20x56 feet is not very large
to be sure, but it is considerably bet.

There were few basket ball fans
from Cedar who returned from Beaver
Saturday rather crestfallen because
the b. A. c. lads were defeated by
the Murdoch boys. They had felt that
the B. A. C. team was invincible, and
were somewhat chagrinned to lear
that there are others that can play
basket ball.

are in a very serious way over the
outcome of the game, however They

March 10Th is the time set by the
city council officials for everyone to
clean up. They must not only clean
their yards, corrals, pens, etc, but
must also have their homes in ship
shape. "The officials who will make
an inspection had better be careful in
entering some homes in Cedar and
telling the good wives how to clean
up the house, else they may find them
selves going home with black eye.'
And, to be candid, the majority of the
housewives in Cedar know more in a
minute about the proper sanitation OF
the home than do those who will prob.
