James T. Fairly arrived home this
week from his five months leave. We
are glad to welcome him back to the
9 colony.
Miss Agnes Bumpus was a visitor
at Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hedrick's one
day this week.
Messrs. Charles Hellings and Sam
Davis contemplate going to Pocatello,
Idaho, soon to engage in electrical
work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Johnson enter
tanned a party at their home Sunday.
Guy left for Lyndyll Monday. Mrs.
johnson accompanied him as far as
Lund.
Mr.. Sands, road master Salt Lake |
Route, came along Monday and tapped
all the section men for $500 each for
the Red Cross, getting C. Magnussen
for $1,000. This swels Sahara's do
nation to this fund $40 more, or Sl05
in all.
Jas. Baker is kicking like mule"
on account of the erratic conduct Of a
lister he is listing his corn with.
James claimes that he has listed at
least 20 acres of corn in 10 acre
plat. If only you can make the land
Office believe that, James, you will be
"skookum."
That we have been indebted to Mr..
and Mrs. Magnussen frequently of late
for the use of their piano only empha-
sizes the fact that we need piano, or
rather a player piano, very badly, for
the club and Sunday School. We sim
cerely hope that the day may come
when we may secure piano and bell
for the school house.
Our ladies met at the school house
Tuesday and gave the building thor
ough cleaning They also placed signs
conspicuously asking gentlemen to
refrain from splitting on the floor. APP
parently there are very few offenders
along this line but unfortunately there
are few Quit it, boys. It's nasty
habit and it means work for our wom-
en- folks, you wouldn't do yourselves.
If you gotta spit, bring n cuspidore

Closing Song.
This our session now is ended.
Homeward bound we soon will be;
May we part as friends and brothers
Hearts and minds from anger free.
May we strive to help each other
When the trail grows rough or dim
Hoping, trusting, helping, cheering,
Till those longed-for heights we win
Speak no evil Of a brother,
Sister, comrade or Of friend;
Boost Sahara, pull together,
Till our toilsome journeys end,
When we reach the HEIGHTS above u
And look back upon the trail,
May we know that through our union
Outside strife could not prevail
Peace go with us to our fresides,
Guide our footsteps day by day.
May our hearts with loving friendship
Ease our burdens by the way
Guard our lives from every evil,
Comfort sorrow, grief or pain;
God be with you Sister, Brother
Till the hour we meet again.
