ADJUSTMENTS.

Orpheun-The bill at the Orpheum
this week is a doubleheader. Turned
Up" the main attraction being pre-
coded by one-act playlet, Barbara"
from the pen of Jerome X. Jerome. II
is rather a pretty little piece. and IS
crcditably performed by the Misses
Anita Hendrie and Priscilla Knowles,
and Messrs. j. w. Bennett and Luke
Cosgrave.
'''rurned Up is one of the most ex-
cruciatingly funny things seen at the
Orpheum this season. 1t fairly teens
with sayings and doing that serve to
keep the house I'm a continuous roar
of laughter. Al Phillips and Miss Luz
cia Moore assume the parts of George
and Sabina Midway, brother and sister
whose mother REMARKED shortly after
the supposed death of their father. The
latter returns, followed by a woman
who claimed to be his Wife. and then
the situation becomes so mixed that
it seemed impossible ever to unravel
the knarled knots. All the members
of the company are cast IN good parts,
and the work of each was kept up to
the standard that has characterized
the entire engagement. This Is the
last week that the orpheum Stock COM
pany will be seen here. What Hap
pened to Jones'" will be put on Mon
day evening, July 20, for one night on
~. and then the house Will be dark
until Aug. IL, at which time a return
will be made TO vaudeville. to continue
throughout the following season.

splendid talk ON the benefits OF organi~

ten OF the Butchers and Grocers asso-
cation IN Utah, the retail merchants
have all been progressing In every way.
The prosperity of the whole people de-
Ponds very largely on the success OF the
manuis cturers and the retail merchants
*nd they are in reality the backbone OF
the state.

made u strong walk In favor OF organiza-
ton among the retail merchants of the
state. lie said that lack of union in the
past has prevented the retailers from Sc
curing those things to which they arc
justly entitled, I'm the matter of legisla
ton tho laborlng classes and the manu-
facturcrs have succeeded In securing en-
actments favorable to their. interests Nc
explained, but the retailers have got
practically nothing TO protect them"
Calling attention to the growth In our
state or the mail order business. he said
the money thus spent goes out OF the
state never to return again. The con-
Germs which 1t is sent do nothing towards
building up our state or supporting Its
institutions. The retail merchants should
wage a war against the mail order
houses, and should educate the public TO
a better understanding of their interests.
Most OF the money sent away Ia sent
because people are not 1uainted with
the values OF the articles they purchase.
It Is tho duty OF the grocer to show the
people how they can buy their wara
just az chaply at HON as thy can away
from home.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
