The club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association which is sponsored by the United States Government who furnish complete equipment and supply ammunition at small cost, in an effort to foster greater interest In marksmanship. The Legion has been very fortunate In securing a charter and receiving equipment so promptly, s there Is always a waiting list of clubs desiring charters and It often requires a long period ot time to get action on an application for admittance. We feel that this movement is going to be a splendid means of boosting Spanish Fork and that every member will receive not only expert training with n rifle but outdoor recreation that will be of great value especially to the tired business man, and for .this reason the Legion Is Inviting our townsmen to Join with us and take out membership. Applications will be received at the regular meeting of the Legion In their rooms at the Chambers building, July 14, at 8:30 p. m.

'Out ' ot this chaos was born the "Holy Roman Empire and the Institution , of Papacy. These two institutions grew In strength because they held the Individual In subjection, the one using power and force coupled with superstition it was enabled to cultivate In its citizens by keeping them In Ignorance; the other using Its cloak ot n to rule the religion as spirits of men. Out of this era came the age of revival. During all of this time clvlll- xatlon was making slow but sure ad- vances. Governmental orders were gradually triumphing over feudal an- archy. Here we have the Intellectual awakening known as the renaissance with Its Inventions and discoveries which greatly stirred mens minds and awakened them as from a sleep, foe crusades and holy wars followed. Then the era of reformation, and the -- God-give- , . ,, ( tremendous struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism. Then follows the era of political revolution. This age is especially characterized by conflicts between despotic and liberal principles of government. During this period in most countries except Turkey and Russia, the government of the people has taken the place of government by the few. This Is the era of our own revolution and the revolution of France. .(Continued Next Week) PLAYERS TO PLAY HERE UNDER TENT HLAWSON-SIURLE- Y The popular Slawson-Shlrle- y Players, whom the theatre-goin- g public formerly knew as the Rotation Players, are opening a one week engagement here Monday, July 12th In their big tent theatre under the auspices of the Spanish Fork baseball team.
