Whom to Serve.

Tbe question of who Is served first is a somewhat disputed one. A hostess who is older than her guests should be served before them. but when she is younger it Is more courte- ous to serve the guests first The Idea of serving . hostess first is that where elaborate dishes are passed it is bet ter for her to take the initiative in
 helping herself. and also that she may observe that all about the dish is cor rect, but fn general entertaining 1t Is better to have the women guests served before tfe hostess. 1.

WILL STEADY THE MARKETS.
Probable Tendency Of the Interna-
tional Crop Institute.

Plans are maturing in the Department
of Agriculture for the participation OF this
government In the international crop insti-
tute that Is to be held in Rome. Italy.
wherein forty countries will be represented.
David I.ubin OF the Department of Agri-
culture will be the American representative
on the committee of five who Will draw up
the plan for the International bureau. He
has been accommodating data from the de-
partment to present to the italian meeting
the collection of crop statistics. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that the United States has
the best and most comprehensive system In
the world for this work, and 1t is quite
probable that the American method will
be adopted when the international crop
bureau Is established.
The general purposes of the bureau have
already been outlined in The Star. 1t will
furnish to all the governments represented
the sort Of crop information that the De-
partment of Agriculture now furnishes to
the public in the United States. namely.
the condition. probable and actual yield
of the staple crops as they mature. The
tendency will be to put this sort OF in
formation on an authoritative basis and
world nothing else could do, eliminating
many. of the risks now involved in handling
export crops and going very far towarf
eliminating speculation.
The King of Italy was the one to pre-
pose the scheme, and IL has been accepted
quarters of the international bureau will
be in Rome and a permanent home for the
executive force is now being built at the
expense of the Italian government.

BILL OF SALE OF WIFE.
How One c. w. Wiley Sold Widow
Husband Shielded.

Salt Lake, Sept. 6.-After making out
a bill of sale of his wife and placing
it in an envelope addressed to sup
posed friend, c. w. Wiley committed
Suicide in Ogden today by swallowing
morphine. Wiley came yesterday from
Sparks, New, where he was yardmaster
for the Southern Pacific.
After breakfast this morning Wiley
went to his room, where he was found
later in an unconscious condition. He
fought against any means being taken to
revive him and died this afternoon.
In an envelope addressed to the sup
posed friend, the following was found:
"Sparks, Aug. 3, l9O6.-To Fred
Schneider: For and in consideration of
your many acts, 1 this day deliver unto
you one wife, known as Mrs. May E..
Wiley, to take and dispose of as you
wish. w. C. Wiley, Husband"
Another letter left by Wiley was:
''Ogden, Sept. 3.-My Dear Babies:
Papa bids you goodbye. Do not under
any circumstances return to the woman
you have called mamma for the last six
years, as she has caused all this trouble,
also this fall l am going to take. She
will get her pay, SO goodbye.

WORK NEARS COMPLETION.
Fair Grounds Getting in Shape for the
Big Fair.
From Saturdays Daily.

rIOIu OdluIudy bois'
Work on the new fair grounds is now
approaching completion. Everything
will be ready for the fair, week after
next Work OH the exhibition hall is
going ahead rapidly, and the roof is 60
ing on This building is 40Xl40 feet,
and has a cement floor. Birch siding is
being used, which looks very pretty.
Conrad Kleinschmidt has the contract
for the building.
The stalls for the cattle, sheep and
hogs exhibit have yet to be erected, but
this work can go on very fast when it
begins. A hundred stalls are to be put
in, along the west fence, which it is
thought will be sufficient to house the
exhibits, as each can hold two animals
as a rule. Thirty-siX stalls have been
completed for the race horses, and many
of them are filled already. Trainers are
busy with their animals.
The change that has taken place on
the grounds in the last few weeks is
wonderful, and reflects great credit on
the energy of the officers.
Word has been received that car
load of cattle is to be shipped to the
fair from Mapleton and carload of
sheep from Winnebago. Entry blanks
are being sought from all directions.
There seems tO>be misunderstanding
among the members as to their rights
in exhibition hall. All persons who have
subscribed 800 or more are members of
the association, and are entitled to
booths in exhibition hall free of charge.
1t is hoped that all will quickly engage
their space.

COMPLETE TO RIVER.
Alphabet" Road VIII BE Construct.
ed to Three Miles Of st. Clair.

from saturdays Daily.
Charles O'Connor of st. Clair was in
the city today, and stated that force
of fifteen or twenty teams has begun
grading operations between Cream and
st. Clair, and it expected that soon one
or two more forces will be put to work,
one near st. Clair. Mr.. O'Connor under
stands that it is the intention of the
contractors to complete the grade to the
LeSueur river this fall, so that the track
can be laid to there and the bridge ma
terial brought over the line.
The steel rails have been ordered for
delivery Sept. 18th, and it is expected
to get the road in operation to the river
this fall and put the bridge in during
the winter. This will bring the road to
a point within three miles of st. Clair.
The new bank at st. Clair is likely to
start up Oct. l, and there is talk of
another bank there inside of a year.
