CHOIR MEMBERS GET
SPLENDID COLD TREAT

Choir members who missed the prac-
tice last Wednesday night surely lost
a treat. and treat it was, Wen tell
the world. They were taken en- masse
down to the Cedar City Drug Store
after practice and served with re-
freshments that would delight the
most epicurean taste. Mr.. McCon-
nelps own generosity furnished them
with delicious punch besides the 9TH
er refreshments. They were 30 in
number and jolly good bunch they
were and they appreciated to the full
est extent the consideration. Espec-
ially is this true of some of the Older
members who have spent thirty or
forty years in the service. Mr.. Frisby
appreciates the work the choir has
done this winter and the members have
worked hard to get all out of the
training they could and just such lit
tie get-to- gether times as this brings
them all in closer harmony and under
standing.

We have perhaps all read stories or
witnessed moving pictures in which
military balls have played a promi-
nent part, and which are usually sup
posed to be shrouded with mystery or
romance, but up to the present time,
so far as we are advised, there has
never been military bali given in
this city. So THAI the function being
given by the Girls Welfare Club of
the B. A. c. at the College auditorium
tomorrow evening is q new departure
in this neck O. the woods, And from
all accounts, it Will be some stuna.ng
affair. A general invitation has been
extended to the people OF the county
to attend. OF course all the returned
soldiers are to be there in uniform.

WEDNESDAY. MAY II.
FOR SOLDIERS PARTY

The Committee for the proposed re-
ception of the soldiers met last night
and decided on Wednesday, May 81,
as the best day for holding the long
delayed celebration. The program as
outlined in our issue of January "a
will have "a few changes, among them
being a canteen service taking place
of the banquet. This will be much
less work and will tend to make cv-
eryone feel more homelike.
A general invitation is hereby ex-
tended to all the soldiers of the county
and their parents and friends and eel
atives; in fact to everybody who cares
to join us in this event.
The parade in the morning, which is
to be one of the big features Of the
day, will begin at the west side Of
town at the head of the lane and go
up one street and down the. other
clear through town, so that all will
have a chance to view it.
The Red Cross will conduct the can
teen service, and will also be an in
teresting feature of the parade.
This has been n long looked for cell
ebration and has been forced to be
put off a number of times on account
of the "fu," but the committee is
putting forth every effort now to make
it day worth remembering and the
members feel that they will have the
whole-hearted support of the citizens
in so big an undertaking, in making
the boys feel that their efforts have
not beea in vain, but are really APP
preciated by the folks at home,

KEROSENE MEANS LESS
WORK FOR WIVES

No woman likes to be household
drudge. She wants time for ever so
many other things than cooking and
cleaning. By using kerosene instead
OF coal or wood much of the old time
work and dirt is eliminated.
A clean, pure kerosene like the
Standard Oil Company's Pearl Oil. as
sures the housewife a cool, clean
kitchen the year round
All the drudgery Of handling the
heavy coal and ashes is done away
with and there is no dust nor dirt nor
odor Unlike coal, or wood the kero-
sene lights at the touch Of a match, so
that there is no waiting for the fire
TO come up.
Pearl Oil is economical and can be
readily procured everywhere 1t is. al
WAYS the same high quality whether it
is bought in five gallon cans or in bulk,
although there is a saving by buying
in bulk 1t is easy to handle and gives
all the convenience of gas. Being re-
fined and re-retined by a special pro-
cess the impurities have been removed
and it burns up clean without smoke or
odOr
