The wards will be judged from the per cent enrolled who have purchased stamps, and the average amount per captia of all members enrolled. The card is so arranged that the young ladies record is kept separate from the young mens, and on December 31st, of this year a present will be given to the young ladies association and to the young mens association making the best Dr. The Hyrum record. The board has asked all wards of the stake to report to the the Stake Secretary before April 20th, the standing of their respective wards. This report will be printed in the county papers and will thus give each ward a chance to compare their report with other wards Some ward officers will find it necessary to canvass their respective wards to secure the complete record, since many of the names, en rolled in the mutuals are not active members. Especially is this the case in the young mens department and it is expected that the majority of the certificates will come from this source. The motto of the honor cardis Every Mutual Member Owns a Thrift Stamp. It is expected that every member enrolled in the Stake will purchase stamps and certificates before April 20th.
