The game was full of thrills and very fast despite the fact that the season is just beginning. The local team showed up well and gives promise of some classy performances during the coming season.

They are treated almost as animals, getting little wage and little to eat or wear. They are very slow and oftentimes undergo hardships, especially if the winter is cold.

I. Hargis of the Bonneville Lumber Company, has resigned his position to become effective, January 1st 1920. Mr. Hargis is taking this step in order to be able to devote his entire time to personal interns. It Is rumored that he will become associated in the organization of a local home building association, the actual work of which is already under way and a number of contracts are awaiting the completion of the organization in order that building activities may begin. During his tenure aa manager of the Bonneville Lumber Company, Mr Hargis has made an enviable record and has developed the local branch so that it now heads the list of lumber yards which the company operates. His successor has not yet been appointed. One of the chief obstacles in the way of progressive development in this country, is race and color. The population consists of mostly English, Dutch, Cape colored or half white and Kafirs. Unity is not known to exist among ether of them and they abso- Fred-rickse- d IKE li NUMBER 40. ill sum GIVE IIP BUSINESS Editor Xews: The other dtly I leteived a few copies of ihe Xews, sent me by my father, Mr. P. M. Hansen, of Elwood. I was greatly interested in reading their contents, especially of the wonderful progress which is being made round about there, in the way of improvement of condition in which the people live, and not only for the present, but the future as well. In a time of reconstruction like the present one, having left, the United States and living in foreign country, cannot help comparing the methods used by each. It seems as though the hand of the Great Creator is over the United States and especially over those at its head as the method used and the progress made is certainly exemplary to the people in South Africa, and other countries as well. The people here, as a general rule have great respect for the United States and look to them for advancement in every way. The numerous articles of American manufacture sold in this country are considered very good. The prices of these articles are very high but yet people dre willing to pay. There are some people who are a little prejudiced or jealous of us, but the majority have great respect for us.

I min LHUII The offering in vaudeville put on at the High School last Tuesday evening, under the direction of the Girls' Club, ranks on the average with anything ever seen here, either local or imported, while in some ofits items professionalism was challenged. There wasnt a hint anywhere of low class or trashiness. Furthermore, the house was jammed and the cheering and applause was good to hear. The first bit was a quartet by Messrs. Mann, Smith, Horsley, Nichols and Griffiths of the faculty. Since there were five in the quartette we assume that there was double strength on one part, but it didnt matter it was excellent. The second number was a playlet, The Burglar, in which there was a deal of comedy well put over and some very clever acting by Miss Adeline Davis of Perry in the star role. Then followed three solo dances which for grace and technical execution, we are sure we have never seen surpassed. And the dancers were pretty and sweet and looked good to eat. The first dance was titled Vogue, a modish representation by Miss Tottie Hart The seca ond bore the title of Museett, poetical fantacy, qnd was danced by Miss Alton Hansen, and tne third, a technical characterization, The Chinese Wedding Procession, by Miss Rhoda Lee. As we said in the beginning so we say again, these dances and dancers would lend charm to any Orpheum circuit anywhere, and would crowd many a professional off the boards entirely. Somebody said the next number was the Boys Club Quartette, but only three appeared, Messrs. Lee, Me Master and Watkins. If this was really meant for a quartette, and hence but 75 per cent complete, we are left to wonder what it would have been with 100 per cent ' As it was, the boys produced some very sweet harmony, and in their comic songs, one at the expense of the faculty, they were simply immense. They were called back twice and with such thunderous applause that the build ing rocked. Messrs Nichols and Horsley of the Faculty brought down the house Dressed in short pinafores, their, long red stockings held in place and entirely supported (their legs didnt help one bit) by garters that peeped out and glistened mischievously under the short skirts, they conventionalized the juvenile song, You cant play These genin My Yard Any More. tlemen should arrange to have the comic part in some good musical comedy. Weve seen lots of comics, but none that have anything on these two. The shadow pictures were more funny than artistic. We were attracted particularly by the operation in which m::r" fool tilings were removed from the student body. The body was plainly that of Mr. Horsley, of the Faculty, but then it was only a and the faculty sees more clearly what the Student Body is than does the Student Body itself. The greatest amount or excitement in this number was created by a hen that rebut fused to wait to be amputated, flew out into the audience, i a sketch which closNeighbors, ed the evenings entertainment, was a scream. Many a person present saw himself or herself delineated with a faithfulness that was almost uncanny. We wish we had space to devote to every member of the cast. This is one case where the writer is as good a critic a3 any professional, and we declare that the characterization could not possibly be Improved. Those good people who had this entertainment in charge are entitled to special mention and should feel very much encouraged. The Kindergarten Club met at the home of Mrs. John S. Christensen yesterday afternoon. The lesson was given by Mrs. Vance- H. Tingey and Miss Ireta Roylance favored the meeting with a cello solo. The dance com- mittee reported that arrangements been completed for holding a series of married folks dances at the Academy of music as a benefit for the Public Play grounds. Five dance3 will be held and invitaions will be sent out for the first one. The balls' will be given on January 7th and 21st; February 4th and 18th and March 3rd. A report was also given of the work being done in making arrangements for a big. childrens party on January 3rd, the guests fcrbe'the Children of the members of Jb,a,clMb. The meeting was characterized by a good have attendenee. A well attended meeting, which was characterized by an enthusiastic discussion, was held in the Third ward chapel Wednesday evening for the purpose of considering the matter of minors using tobacco. The meeting was called by Chairman Abel S. Rich of the Stake Social Committee and was attended by representatives from all the four wards parents' classes as well as by a number of citizens who are interested in the movement. The meeting confined Itself aUoost wholly to the tobacco and minors question, and a resolution was unanimously passed, at the conclusion of the discussion, asking the city council to fix a special license for the sale of tobacco and make the fee high so that merchants who carry but a limited stock will feel justified In eliminating the weed from their regular stock of merchandise. The resolution did not presume to say what the fee should be. A committee consisting of W. C. Horsley, Orson A. Christensen and Mrs. Ida K. Lee was named to wait upon the council and report the action taken at the meeting, which also includes a request that the law prohibiting minors from using tobacco be rjgidly enforced. A short time ago the Stake Social Committee made a canvass of the merchants to learn their attitude with respect to eliminating tobacco from their stocks, and a most generous response was the result for practically all the grocery merchants expressed themselves as not only willing but anxious to dispense with the sale of tobacco. In order that a more neariy cooperation may be had in furthering the campaign to overcome the existing evil of minors using tobacco, a meeting has been called for this evening at the commercial club rooms to which all the merchants, druggists, pool hall managers and manager of the Tunnel have been Invited for a frank and open discussion of the question with a view of securing a generous cooperation on the part of the business people to overcome the evil.
