INCREASED MINERAL OUTPUT.
In this connection Il Is interesting to
know that there Is not the slightest
doubt that the mineral production of
Utah for the current year Will exceed
that Of last year by several millions Of
dollars. While it may be true that a
few camps do not display the activity
that they did twelve months ago. what
is lacking In them has been entirely
made up for, and considerably more
by others which are enjoying unprece-
dented prosperity.

Homeless!

A well-known Baltimore society
man was recently spending a few
days with his wife at Atlantic City,
and in connection with his visit he
tells the following story: When he
seated himself in the dining room on
the evening of his arrival he discov
cred that he could not read the menu,
as he had left his glasses in his room
and his eyes were useless without
them. When he passed 1t to his wife
she exclaimed that she was in the
same predicament At loss to know
what to do, the gentleman called the
waiter to him, and, pointing to the
menu, said:

you a dollar"
Quick as a fash the waiter replied.

apple tree Of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree into a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
, It needed sunshine and the kind Of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. 1t is an abso-
lutte certainty that without the pub
licity thus given-in other words, the
sunshine-the business never would
have developed.
You have seen to-day factory build

ploying hundreds Of workpeople, pro-
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four million packages per month,
which goes to every civilized country
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise is less than 8 years old. We
have found it necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the sunshine

state where it produces profitable ap'

The sunshine that makes a business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing a business nowadays is
something like growing an Rpple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant 1t in
good soil, water and work with 1t, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz.
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots Of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine Of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?
