Two more of our boys, Hyrum E. Reynolds and Joseph K. Montgomery, have been added this -week to our already al-ready fair quota of soldier boys departing depart-ing Monday evening for Fort Logan, Colo., to report for training. They had already enlisted in the coast artillery. The Relief society annual day in i i North Ogden was a decided success as a reward for the diligent effort put forth to that end by the local officers. The solo and chorus work contributed by members of the Ogden Seventh ward added greatly to the interests and was highly appreciated. Charles E. Orton, who sustained quite severe injuries by being thrown from a wagon while loading at the gravel pit some time ago, is slowly recovering. re-covering. The loading place was a steep one and the team became frightened fright-ened -when the scat fell from tho wagon wag-on on them, starting them in a wild run down the hill, throwing the driver onto the rocks. . Tho sacrament meeting next Sunday evening will be held in connection with the mutuals and the officers have sought to inject matters of special interest in-terest in tho program, with the theme, "Love of Mountain Home," running through the services, including a lecture lec-ture on the subject by President John W. Gibson and missionary experiences by Elder William A. Linford, than whom no one else can just now more fully appreciate "Our Mountain Home So Dear" having recently returned from a two years' absence doing missionary mis-sionary work in the war zone. Samuel Shaw, president of the local farm bureau is zealously urging tho farmers to sign up contracts for beet growing that the. companies may not conclude too early that all had entered into contract that desired to do so and the seed supply shifted to other sections. Miss Ladwig was present conferring yesterday with the ladies of the place on tho organization of a ladies' farm bureau and the work was practically consummated. A committee is at work laying much needed sidewalks about the church building and then we will have completed com-pleted practically every detail of mod-I mod-I ern conveniences that any ward of the I same size can lay clayn to, the entire building having recently undergone a thorough renovation and a modern toilet toi-let system and baptismal font installed. |
