Mutual Work

MUTUAL WORK 487 You may have some other suggestions to make which might be more effective in your stake than those mentioned above. We will greatly ap- preciate hearing from you as to what action has been taken by you and your co-workers to anticipate and prevent the spring slump. To anticipate and check this decline will be a real test in leadership. Ever praying for the Lord to continue to bless you in the leadership of the young men in your stake, I remain, Sincerely your brother, Melvin J. Ballard, Assistant General Superintendent. Morgan Interested in Contests Superintendent George Brough of the Y. M. M. I. A. in Morgan stake <reports having put on a few contests to create more interest and life and "pep" among the wards. These have been very successful in increasing the attendance. They have labored in a joint way with the young ladies and have found this to be a source of strength and inspiration to the young men in making the contests a success. The first contest was on the efficiency report; the second on the M. I. A. stake song, a number of which were contributed by each ward. The best one from each was selected, and on Sunday, January 25, the contest ended, each ward sending their best song with singers to the stake joint session meeting that night. "We enjoyed a splen- did time. The Saints turned out in a goodly number and were mutually benefited and well paid for coming out. Porterville was the winning ward, Alice Carter being the author of the song and the honored lady of the evening." Stake M. I. A. Song We're from the stake of North Sevier We're mighty proud to say. We're always up and going some And singing on our way. With voices loud resounding now We'll join in this glad lay And sing a song to boost along Our good old M. I. A. CHORUS: M. I.

(Passing TLvents The tomb of Tutankhamen was reopened. Jan. 26, 1925, by Mr. How- ard Carter, who found everything as he left it when the tomb was closed last year. Presiding Bishop Charles W. Nibley was 76 years old on Feb. 5. The day was observed with a family reunion at his home, 75 North, West Temple St., Salt Lake City. "Flu" was reported, Jan. 23, to have killed 111 persons in Tokio. The epidemic began on Jan. 3. The cause is thought to be the continued drought and high winds scattering the dust from the area burned after the earthquake in September, 1923. Howard Carter will resume work in the tomb of Tutankhamen, accord- ing to agreement between him and the Egyptian government. Carter relinquishes all property right in the antiquities that may be discovered, but the government will pay him for his work. Pres. Charles W. Penrose passed the 93 rd mile stone on his remarkable earthly career, Feb. 4. The day was observed quietly, owing to indis- position of the beloved Church leader. There was no formal program, but many friends called and congratulated him. Leadership week at the B. Y. University, Provo, opened on Monday, Jan. 26, with representatives of forty-three stakes present. The entire week's course had for its theme "The Home," and it was exhaustively created on by competent, earnest speakers, and class leaders. The new German chancelor, Hans Luther, was inaugurated, Jan. 19. He took the occasion to declare that the new government would uphold the republican constitution of Weimar and loyally fulfil the provisions of the London agreement with regard to the Dawes plan and all it implies. Leon Trotzky was deposed, Jan. 19, from his position as head of the war council and thretened with expulsion from the party, unless he conforms to party discipline and renounces his attacks on the principles enunciated by the late Lenine. It is asserted that he submitted and apologized. The electoral vote was announced Feb. 11, 1925, by the president pro term of the U. S. senate, Cummins, as follows: Total vote for presi- dent 531; for Coolidge, 382; John W. Davis, 136; La Follette, 13. For vice-president, the figures for Dawes, C. W. Bryan and Wheeler were the same as for President. Amafisa Lyman Meacham, of Provo, died, Jan. 17, of ailments in- cident to old age. He was born at Nauvoo, 111., March 29, 1842, and came to Utah in the early part of his life, locating at Provo. For seventeen years he was a counselor in the bishopric of Timpanogos ward. His widow, five sons and four daughters survive him. A copy of the Paris reparations agreement is asked for by the U. S. senate, together with information necessary to a full understanding of its terms. Senators Borah and Johnson are the movers in this matter. Secretary Hughes has declared that there is nothing in the Paris agreement at
