CITY IF MESA OWNS
 OWN WATERWORKS

The city of Mesa owns its own water system. and is finding it both profit able and pleasing thing to be paying money into it's own treasury rather than to some private outside corpOr- ation. Installed some nine years ago, the plant has constantly been enlarged, until at present there is an ample sup ply with sufficient pumping capacity to supply the town for some years to come. The plant has grown until it represents at the present time an out lay of approximately $63.000, and as a matter of course, every resident of the city is a potron of the municipal en- terprise. This last statement would sound superflous were it not for the fact that prior to the establishment of the system Mesa was supplied by sur face wells, and also that it took several years for all the inhabitants to become users of the deeper well supply of the town.
 With the development of the use of this deep and pure water, summer dis eases have noticeably decreased until now in conjunction with the splendid sewerage system, there is practically no illness in Mesa during the warm months. Within the past two years the

 ' COMMUNITY HELP

In writing of the banks of the town of Mesa, it is not with view to unduly exan any one business, but rather be- caqse the bank forms a sort of busi- ness barometer for the place.
 Mesa has in working existence two banks The First National is the pioheer institution of the town. This bank has for years past been looked upen as one of the permanent assets of the entire south side, with resources reaching to the million mark, and has ever adopted a conservative yet az grSsve method of both increasing it's own resources and lending all possible aidi To worthy business or individual enterprises.
 The other banking institution is the Salt River Valley bank. An eight year old giant with a record certainly most gratifying to it's officials the stock holders and the public generally. This bank has grown with the town and is recognized as one of the strong insti- tutions of the valley, with resources that have climbed steadily, and seem destined to continue the upward march without hindrance or delay. However the bank is in trouble Just two years ago it built a handsome home on the corner of Center and Mcdonald and expected 10 be comfortable for many years, and already the business has outgrown the space. and the directors are bothered as to what to do about it.
 There are two banking and trust companies in town. neither of which is in active operation just at present but both duly organized and ready to open this winter. One is the Mesa Bapking and Trust company affiliated with the First National and the other the, Salt River Valley Bank and Trust conopany affiliated with the s. R.

By Mrs. Bert Vance, President of the
 Primary Association.

The Primary Association, an auxil iary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was organized by authority of the church over forty one years ago. Its ultimate aim and object are to inculcate the principles of the gospel to the Latter Day Saint children from the age of four to fourteen years, thus laying a foundation for the de- velopment of these little ones in the faith and knowledge of the life eter- nal. But while this is its primal aim, the work of the Primary is so diversi- fled as to cover the many activities of childhood and is departmentized into fields of industry. social and commun- ity activities, lesson and story uplift Instructors of sufficient technique and theory are entrusted with each demon stration and have proven the value of such division of the work and that the fundamental principles underlying each subject are sound and vital.
 Great honor is due the founder of the  Primary organization, Aurilia Spencer Rogers, who in her great love for little children, realized the need of develop | ing childish activity of directing their energies and supplementing the oft time laxity of child training in the home. And. in recognition of her ad- aptability to this great cause, this most sterling women was set apart to pre- side over the first Primary association, which was effected in Pennington | Utah, August II. 1878.
 From that little band has sprung the great Primary movement of the pres ent day, which consists of S70 com plete organizations, with an enrolment of over 10000 capable officers and teachers with access to children libra ries of over 16,000 books.
 l Hourly sessions are held weekly-the time subdfvided into lesson, story, busy and social activities. During the war part of every hour was devoted to sol dier supply work with the result that during the year 1918, these children under fourteen years of age, completed and forwarded to the. Denver chapter of the Red Cross over 75,00O finished articles.
 Maricopa Stake with her eight or ganizations, consisting of 507 children and 79 officers contributed a liberal quota of the above amount. It is also the object of these organizations to contribute liberally to the Temple fund

 The water for irrigation of lawns, trees and gardens, comes from the Roosevelt project, being purchased from the Water Users association This system of irrigation has been found to be superior to the use of city water, because of the sediment carried in the river, and also because of its cheapness and the ease with which the irrigation may be done. ditches being so placed as to carry the needed irri- gation flow direct to the seperate lots.

PRIMARY ASSOCIATION
 TRAINS TIE CHILDREN

In the spring of 1S4s. Richard Bal lantyne established the first Latter Day Saints Sunday school in Utah, which was the first organization of it's kind in the Rocky mountain region. Re- ferring to the motive he had in organ izing the Sunday school Elder Ballan- tyne remarked that he saw a need for such an institution. "l felt" said he, that the Gospel was too precious to myself to be withheld from the chiI- dren. They ought to have-the privilege of Gospel teaching g-and that was the main purpose-to teacn them the gos- pelr
 It must be borne in mind that all the carly Sunday schools were organized and conducted by independent effort in those interested in the welfare of the young. Those who became actively en- gagged in Sunday school work soon req lized the necessity of better methods and facilities for carrying on and con- tinuing the good cause then in it's in fancy, and the importance of co-aper- ation to attain the desired results be- came more and more apparent.
 Periodical Started
 In January 1866 George C. Cannon commenced the publication of a Sunday school periodical which was called the Juvenile Instructor and which is still the official organ of the Sunday schools.
 As early as the spring of 1866 the or ganiation Of a Sunday school union was suggested by William H. Shearman ir a letter written to the Juvenile Instruc- tor and published in the issue of that paper dated April 8. 1866
 Union Established
 It was not until the year 1872 thai this central organization afterwards recognized by the name of the -Deseret Sunday School Union" assumed . more compact and definite form.
 In reading the minutes of the regu- lar meetings of the Union it is exceed ingly interesting to note that many of the same subjects that are still con sidered among the most important were then canvassed with much vigor and that the instructions given were to a very great extent the same 8. those still found necessary to incul. cate. The subjects of punctuality, the grading of schools of the necessity o books and publications adapted to tn. use of the Sunday schools, of collec. ton of hyms and songs with sutabl, music, of keeping a register of attend. ance of members, of preserving recordI of schools. of furnishing statistical re- ports. of selecting suitable works fol Sunday school libraries, of securing larger daily attendance and of the spir- itual development of the pupils, ar, found among those which received at. tention in the early meetings of tn, union.
 It is a source of qualification to know that the consideration of these ques tions have not been in vain. Througi the efforts of the Union Board many O the urgent wants and necessities
