The Semi-Annual Meeting and
Statement.

At 2 o'clock on Wednesday after
noon, the semi-annual stockholders
meeting of lions Cooperative Mer
camille Institution was held in the
Council House. There was a good
representation of stock, and those
present were gratified and delighted
with the half years progress. This
was the twenty-siXth semi-annual
meeting; Vice-President William
Jennings presided, President
Hooper being sick. The only bust
ness done, was the reading of the
presidents report, and the declaring
of the dividend. this being 5 per
cent. on the stock for the half
year. This is the largest
dividend paid by the in
Stitution since the panic of 1878.
From the secretary's report, which
was partially embraced in the re-
port Of the president, the following
figures are gathered: The business
done by the institution for the half
year amounted to $4,000, 1921.
This is the heaviest business done
in any half year since the Coop.
started in 1859 The purchases
amounted TO 1,541,510.O2; the
amount paid for freight and ex-
pressage aggregated $214, 96S.SO.
The current expenses of the Coop.
IL selling goods is less than Az per
cent, and this covers insurance and
every expense incidental to the
whole business. The cash re-
ceipts amounted to $2,SS5, 1885, OF.
The reserve which has been
accumulated now amounts to
$43.732.99. Out of the profits
made during the six months, and in
addition to the amount held to pay
the declared dividend, there is on
hand, to be carried as a surplus
fund, $24,347.55.
From the presidents report also,
1t is ascertained that the shoe fac
tory made, during the first four
months of this half year, 32,5O3
pairs Of boots and shoes, the cost
being about $4,000. About $4,000
worth of machinery has been put
into the factory recently, this,
when gotten in active and full
operation and the hands become ex-
perienced, the factory will be en-
abled TO manufacture bearly enough
goods to supply the demand, and it
IS even now thought that further
additions will have to be made in a
very short period. In regard to the
tannery, the report says: "There is
an encouraging progress in our tan
merry business; there has not only
been a larger production of leather.
than heretofore in any six months,
but the quality has greatly i'm
proved"
The showing here given speaks
for itself. Z. G.. M. I. is as
solid an institution as can be
found anywhere. Itmakes it rule
to sell low on all goods, and avoids
the catch business of special reduc-
lions on some classes to get custom
erS for others. 1t is needless to say
that, with the showing, the instltu-
ton is under us able management
as can be desired. The long expert
ence Of Mr.. William Jennings, and
his large individual successes are
only exhibited in a new form inthe
business Of the Coop.

neither brains nor good morals TO be

one increases the love of the other
decreases. How many of the best
men and women are skillfal dancers!
In ancient times the sexes danced
separately. Alcohol is The spirit o!

A Curious Case.

A curious suit has been pending
before Commissioner Sprague for a
couple of days past, and is now near
a close. Some years ago Jacob Ri
Voir was a Mormon missionary at
Turin, Italy. While there he came
across "Jeanvoux," a work on the
United States, in which there was a
chapter attacking the tenetS and
practices of the Church of Jesus
Christ Of Latter-day Saints. 1t is
charged that Rivoir went to a jour
nallSt and publisher in Turin
named Alfred Andre, and entered
into an arrangement with him to
write and publish a work refuting
and cOntradicJing the attack on the
Mormons in "Jeanvoux." It is
claimed by Andre that Rivoir
agreed to pay for the work.
Subsequently, in October, 1880,
both Rivoir and Andre came to
this city, when Andre, it is claimed,
asked the former to comply with
the alleged contract to furnish the
means for the publication of the
work. ReVoir refused to do so, and
hence a suit was planted by Andre
for the recovery of money. The
case was referred to Commissioner
Sprague for hearing. and has occu-
pied two dayS-Wednesday and
Thursday. The testimony is all in

been commenced, were to be conclu-
