Show founty Qw LAWRENCE Arbor day! Arbor day! was the cry that rang through our ears early Tuesday Tues-day morning. Later we could hear the clanging of rakes, the rustling of leaves, see the rising of smoke, all of which has made a change for more beautiful and sanitary conditions. One would hardly know our meeting-hou e lot, if he or she had not watched the improvements. The school closed Friday of last week, after having had a well rendered pro- I gram under the direction of Miss Fill- I more1, our teacher. ' William Arnold,' Jr. and Principal j Clem Christensen spent three days j in Castle Dale, where Mr. Arnold was I entertained with a hard examination. James Wilson, we are glad to say is with us again. E. M. Barton has moved to Mon- tecello, San Juan county. Alfalfa seed in great quantites has lately been hauled to Price. j Wimmer Hill and wife have retnrned from their honey-moon. I "That Racal Pal" was seen at Price early this week, and will be in Lawrence next Friday night. Don't forget the date.

Come out and see what talent the children of Emery County possess. No county can beat it. The ditch cleaning's about to a finish, and the water is again in the town. A beaiitiru' snow fell Thursday morning morn-ing measurin" three inches. By noon however it was gone but made the lawns fresh and green. It was a boon to the farmers and stockmen, for although al-though it r-tards the latter from getting get-ting the st ck on the reserve, it fills the holes and eullies in the hill? with water and makes the grass grow for the stock while they are still in the valleys. HUNTINGTON Among the questions that were discussed dis-cussed at the Commercial Club meeting on the 10th was the electric light proposition pro-position and the bonding of the district for the purpose of constructing the proposed pro-posed water system. Our people are all anxious to have the water piped into our town, but many feel that their circumstances cir-cumstances will not permit of this extra expense, and feel that thee would only be placing themselves in jeopardy to vote for this bond. However we sincerely sincere-ly hope that this question can be settled satisfactorilyto suit all citizens concern-for concern-for it is an evident fact that we need ed this water svstem. Next Monday is the day for vot'ng.
