THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
BY NELS DARLING


TT is difficult to keep Commercial Club alive in
town of from one to five thousand inhabitants.
After the organization, or reorganization, there is
usually held meeting or two, luncheon or small
banquet given and then the club begins to die
a slow and lingering death
The common cause of the passing of the small
town Commercial Club is that it starts out with
the intention of doing some big stunt 1t tries
to run before it can walk.
In town where once lectured, was waited
upon by committee asking my advice upon the
work of the Commercial Club. | asked the gen.
tlemen what they had in mind-what they We're
trying to do They stated they were endeavoring
to secure the location of factory or other large
industries 'Well," / said, "if you are going to
invite company to see you, | would advise good
house cleaning Why don't you start an improve
ment campaign"
Arouse the people to the idea of the town beau
tiful Urge everybody to take a pride in their
yards their stores. their Offices Clean your
streets of all weeds and trash. Clean up the
alleys Distribute flower seeds in the spring. Adj
vocate the use of the paint pot Take up one thing
at time and pursue it to a successful finish
Center your fire and do not scatter your shot.
Every man should look upon his membership
as a means Of helping all the people all the time,
and not as an instrument to be used in furthering
his own individual interests. There is an honor
in business that is the fine gold of it, that places
high above private gain and profit, square deal
and justice.
Every man in town should belong to the Com
mercal Club and all the farmers living near should
become members All should take an interest in
the Home Town and be ready to help in the
schemes and plans for town betterment. The dues
should be graduated, because the big merchant and
the banker can afford to pay more than the pro-
fessiona man and the small shopkeeper.
The Club should promote neighborliness and
stand sponsor for everything that is good and ele-
waiting. 1t can well afford to preach the need of
play grounds, of parks of proper amusements, of
higher social life for the young folks of the

A SPLENDID MOVEMENT.

y EGARDLESS of what our portion in the big
world may be, we are heartily in accord with
the movement headed by the Agricultural College
Of Utah for this state, and being participated in
by the country at large, for more intense cultiva-
ton of the soil and the stimulating Of production
in various lines of industry. This is exactly what
is needed in this country There are too many
people merely drifting with the stream and not
exerting any special effort to improve their condi
tions or make the earth any better or more beau
tifu for their having been here AS result the
country is carrying load of debt, which could
Just as well be transferred in times like these
to the credit side of the page.
In some Of the large cities, Chicago for exam
pie, they are ferreting out the ders from the
saloons and other resorts and compelling them to
go to work upon the land. This is most commend
able and will be of the surest and best ways of
lessening crime, and taking care of the criminal
class. While we haven't many lawless or vicious
characters in the smaller cities and towns. such
as this, we do have number of men and boys
who idle away a lot of their time which could far
better and more profitably be spent in the cult-
walton of the land and the production of something
to sustain life in man or beast If this cannot be
accomplished by persuation, then it would be a
splendid thing if the strong arm of the law could
be invoked to bring about the desired result.
The idea of permitting students of the high
schools and colleges to go out upon the farms at
this, the planting season. without endangering
their school credits, is also praisworthy depart
ure from established custom and one which will
have marked effect upon the productiveness of
the country next fall for we understand that the
great majority of the young men going to
take advantage of this offer
Let every one, whether they be farmers, mer-
chants, professional men, wool-growers, or what
not, do their part in this great industrial move
ment and do nothing to discourage it by word or
deed; but on the contrary boost for it in every
way possible.

SENATOR SMOOT WINS
VICTORY FOR VETERANS
OF BLACK HAWK WAR

Washington, April 15.-Senator
Smoot held conference with the
commissioner of pensions this morn
ing and called his attention to mis-
cellaneous document No. 10, memo
rial of the legislative assembly Of
Utah. territory, praying for an ap-
preparation to pay for suppressing
the Indian hostilities during the
Blackhawk hostilities during the
Blackhawk war, in which is found a
copy of the muster rolls, giving the
service of the men who participated
in that war.
Senator Smoot requested the COM
missioner to accept this document
as the basis of proof of service and
gave the reasons why it should be
The commissioner promised to accept
the document as far as possible
Senator Smoot will have the public
printer make a search for the copy of
the memorial from which document
No. 10 was printed and believes the
original muster rolls will be attached
to the memorial. Applicants for pen
sions should use document No. 10 in
submitting the claim for services rend-
cred by them.

THIS is the first issue of The Record to come

it up as a sample of what the equipment is capa-

very marked improvement over what the old press
was capable of. When we get onto all the tricks

ing sufficient room for all our equipment, which
we will do after the first of May, we expect to
give the people of Iron county paper they will

CEDAR'S first "Road Day" of the season, held
last Monday, was very marked success and a
lot of good improvement was accomplished to the
road between this city and the railroad, notwith-
standing it was an exceptionally busy time of the
year for the farmers. A day spent occasionally
in this way will work wonders in the improvement
of our highways, for when the state and govern
ment find that people are trying to help them
selves in matters of this kind they are much more
likely to render generous assistance in the form
of appropriations.

OLD King Winter is tenaciously holding his
grip upon the country this spring, and is.contest-
ing every inch of ground gained by the Summer
forces, with as much stubborness as the Kaiser's
army is relinquishing territory in France. With
such late start it is doubtful-if the season will
be long enough in many parts of the country to
mature crops this year With the nation at war,
if the principal crops fail we can easily see how
this country can speedily be brought face to face
with famine. While hoping for the best, let us
do all in our power to prepare for the worst, if it
should come
