PRESIDENT SAHARA CLUB
RESIGNS 70 ENTER SERVICE
w. l.. Shultz, One of the Live Wires
in Western Part of Iron County
Heeds Duty's Call.
Sahara, Utah, June II, 1918.

Thursday evening farewell supper
and dance was rendered the retiring
president of the Sahara club. We had
ice cream and cake in profusion, and
also had a dandy time. Practically
all the members of the club at present
in the valley attended. Miss Smell
and Mr.. Cadwaller were also present
as visitors. 65 sat down to .lncheon
and all seemed to enjoy the evening.
The president certainly appreciates
this token of kindly esteem and wish
es to assure the club that distance or
separation will not diminish his inter-
est in the welfare of the club nor Of
the colony. Further, wish to ac-
knowledge the loyal support accorded
me during my term as president Of
the club. What we have accomplished
has been made possible only through
that loyal support. On leaving feel
that / am parting from many sincere
friends and trust sincerely that this
friendship will continue through the
coming years. Is it au revoir or good
bye? Who can say? 1t is my earnest
desire to be admitted into some active
branch of the army service, and if
am so admitted, sincerely hope that
may soon be on my way to France.
However, if should be disappointed
in this great desire, then | still wish
to serve in some capacity so that one
more worthy than ! may be released
and permitted to go. One thing !
wish to say distinctly, and that is that
have no intention of giving up or
abandoning my ranch. Work on this
place will go on as can get the means
to enable me to have the work pro-
gress. In the years to came, if it be
the Masters will, when | return again
to this, my home, | wish to have so
far progressed with the improvements
on the place that / shall not again be
forced to begin again at the begin
ming and go through all the attendant
hardships associated with Wrestling a
home from the savage desert land.
Now word about your new pres
ident. Stand behind him as you have
behind me. Be loyal to him and true
to your selves. Only by so doing can
you hope to keep our little band bound
together as it now is, with bond of
friendship. You have your homes to
win; yes, but over and above your
homes there is greater and equally
necessary heighth to strive for. There
is honor and integrity to strive for
A belief in each other and in the ulti
mate success of the colony as a whole
A banishing of all discord and dis
trust. A business integrity of tn
community as a whole, which will b,
recognized by all who have business
dealings with you rs community
or as individuals. Make the promis
of the club equal to a bond Be war.
