Married In 1915 The year 1915 was an eventful one for Mr. Kohl he married and started working in a store for George Odekirk. The Duchesne Hotel now occupies the site of the Odekirk store, which burned that same year. In 1916 he rented a building n from A. M. Murdock (a figure in Duchesnes history) and set up in business for himself with a butcher shop and groceries. Mr. Kohl recalls the methods he used to supply meat to his customers. In the evenings, he would slaughter a beef and hang it in a tree overnight Next morning before sunrise he would split and quarter the carcass, haul it to his meat room and pack it in ice until it was sold. In 1917 he bought a gasoline pump that had been damaged by fire. This afforded him the only gas pump in town. He remembers gasoline sold at 50 a gallon. It was freighted in from Price in ' well-know- WARIT ADS E. A.

Since the leaders rf our nation and state felt the program is important enough to devote an entire week to honor it, I would therefore like to devote the space from my weekly article to it. To those of you who are acquainted with the program that extends throughout the 48 states, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, perhaps the following information will give you a better understandwhat it is, how it ing of functions, and what the objective is. club work is an educational program offered all boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 21. In this state it is conducted by the Agricultural College at the Extension Service Logan; there. Over two million boys and in the girls are enrolled in United States and over 300 in Duchesne County, with 9,887 boys and girls in the State of Utah. - The Hs stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health.

Under their guidance, the members are given help and encouraged in developing their agricultural and home economic projects, in working together as club members, and in serving others through community activities. A program gives parents a chance to work with their children in developing the abilities end ideals needed to lead successful lives in adulthood. The-cluprogram offers a wide variety of subjects from which members choose their projects. These include clothing, food, room improvement, child care, homemaking, dairy, beef, swine, sheep, farm crops, tractor maintenance, electricity, rabbits, poultry, horses, forestry and many others.
