Keeler. The Second Ward needsi missionaries, not for the islands of the sea but at home. The bab­ies of Dr. 4 Mrs. Mark Dahl and Mr. & Mrs. Tyler Alston received names and blessings. J. 0. led the singing, while Mrs. Keeler ac­companied the choir at the organ. The at­tendance was large. The service closed promptly at 12, The retiring bishop was opposed to any pre-iannouncements of Sunday meetings. However this may have been only for the third Sunday of the month, (when members of the High Council do the preach­ing. On that Sunday the meetings are very long, etc., etc.) A pre-announcement on the third Sunday probably would lessen the attendance. On the first Sunday in the month, Priest­hood meetings are held at 9 P, M. Members are urged to keep this in mind. JUST ARRIVED TO-DAY, Thurs. SKIRTS FOR THE MATURE FIG­URE,— Sizes IS, .20 & 42.

I I Mr. Jay Hamilton, son-in-law of the mayor, thinks the Store News is just anoth­er paper, because of no (caustic) remarks about the mayor, the town council and Cal­gary Power. If Mr. Hamilton expects us to keep the mayor feliije) advertised for another term in office, he is mistaken. However, if the office must remain in the family, why not L.B., the spark plug of the Sash and Door or son-in-law Jay? We do not think the six man Council could double the assessment on either of them without them knowing it; or spend $8500.00 of good tax dollars for a $1500.00 bulldozer (Cat.) So be continued.
