soNE CHAMPAGNE LORE.
Quaint Old Tradition Explaining Fer
tility Of Champagne Province.

Champagne, the sparkling wine Of
France. which has held its place for
centuries while other wines came and
went, is always given the place Of hon
or, whether it be at a bar. at a ban
Quet, or at the dinner tables Of those
fortunate mortals who can afford ii. In
accord with its place on the high al
tar Of the wine cOnnOiSseur. the spark
ling beverage is generally served in
styles Of glasses which are reserved for
it alone.
Perhaps it is the strange old tradi-
ton regarding the origin and nature
or the wine which has aided its evil
dent charms. The beverage takes its
name from the province Of France
where il was first produced. and where.
indeed, il is cortended by experts. il
Is still produced in its best quality. Ac-
cording 10 the tradition, which is de-
VOutly believed by the vine growers
Of the province Of Champagne. every
foot Of the soil of that fertile province
has been soaked with human blood
and this grewsOme fertilizer. JacQues
Bonhomme and his quantity CARRIED
wife contend, gave the soil the peculiar
quality IL Undeniabiy possesses
whether the tradition be true or not
the story Of the 1000 years Of fighting
which went on in this province adds
certain charm to the sparkling wine.
The province OF Champagne lies in the
f2irest portion OF France and was
eagerly fought for through the middle
and dark ages. besides being the battle
ground Of some Of the great strus-
giles between the Romans and the
Gauis. and between the GauIs and the
Germans in antiquity. Modern armies
have trained over II and ebad tl-f~
blood on its soil. and the evidences Of
history so far toward proving the
boast o. the peasant Of Champagne
that his land was fortified for al tire
with the blood OF fighting men. and
on that soil alone can the wine be
/ produced in its purity.
q O. .
So much attention has been given
TO providing the wine with suitable
setting to please the eyes of its lovers
that at least a dozen different STYLES
/ Of glasses have been made at offer
ent times from which to drink it They

OIL MEN TO ORGANIZE.
Meeting to be Called to Head Of the
Denver Sehene.


A meeting Of oil men interested in the
northwest will be called soon to organize
them in behalf of Salt Lake as the recog-
nizeo oil center. The recent action Of
Denver to get the oil interests central
lzed there is responsible for this move
ment.
The development of the oil fields of the
lnIeImOuntain and northwestern states
VIII mean great deal TO the city which
becomes the recognized center of the oil
industry, and local oil men deem it i'm
portant that nothing should be left IN
cone toward entrenching Salt Lake firm
~ as the oil headquarters. The states of
Titan, Wyoming. Idaho, Oregon and Mon
tana contain practically all the oil in the
northwest, and Salt Lake is the natural
center of all these oil fields as well as
the financial center of the intermountaiE
region
Therefore, it is thought advisable to
take steps as soon as possible to grasp
and retain the control for Salt Lake of
this vast and growing industry. Toward
this end meeting Will soon be called
inviting all persons interested in the oil
development Of this part of the country
to gather and organize.
