cantaloupes are produced that are not

also is fine. With the Idaho melon it
takes n connoiseur in csntaloupes to tell
the difference between that fruit and the
California melon, they say.
Restaurapteurs further say that there

UTAH CREDIT MEN WILL
HOLD SPECIAL NEE TING
Arrangements to Be Made to
Entertain Guests at Next
Annual Convention.

Early next week the Utah Associa-
tion of Credit Men viii hold a special
meeting for the purpose of making ar"
rangements for the entertainment Of
their guests at the time of the next
annual convention of the national as
sociation Since the convention is to
be held in June only few of the pre-
committees will be appointed and the
general plan Of entertainment will be
discussed.
Judging from the manner III which
the Utah association conducted its cam
paign for securing the next annual
convention and the way III which it is
preparing for the event there can be
no doubt that the affair next June will
reflect credit upon the organization. A
few weeks ago, during the annual meet
ing Of the State ASSOCIATION, commit
tee was appointed TO represent the Utah
credit men at the national convention
at Chicago. They were successful in
their mission and returned about one
week ago The fact that they secured
the next convention for this State is
evidence Of the rating of the associa-
tion with the officers of the national
order The deliberations next year
will be participated in by at least 500
prominent business men from all parts
of the country.
The directors of the Utah associa-
tion held their regular meeting Thurs
day night and transacted the usual
routine business. One of the principal
topics of the evening was the conduct
ing of retail business on up-to-date tie
methods. AS it is the object of the or
ganization to place business on a sound
er basis the directors reasoned that any
Improvement in the retail lines would
likewise benefit the wholesale dealer,
and indirectly the entire trade.
1t was generally agreed that the re
tail merchant Of Utah is as a rule a
shrewd business man. but that some are
pursuing rather ancient methods. This.
they said, was particularly noticeable
in their method. or rather lack of meth
cd, of bookkeeping, They reasoned that
it is necessary for retail merchants 10
all lines TO feel the pulse of their bust
ness constantly and maintained that the
only way in which this can be done is
by good system of bookkeeping. The
association possibly will have some sug
pestions on bookkeeping to offer TO its
members in the near future.
