ONE CONVENTION IS LOST
Ohio Votes Take the Retail Grocers'
Convention Away From Salt
Lake City.
Especial to The Herald0

Portland, Ore. June 5.-Because the
big Ohio delegation voted solid for
Springfield, H.. salt Lake lost the con-
vention of the National Association of
Retail GrOceTs of 1910. c. NJ. Lees of
Salt Lake addressed the convention,
saying that II the delegates came to
Salt Lake they would find a city that
was the center of the universe. He
promised also a fine business city, where
the grocers would not try to sell the Wis
itoTs real estate. salt Lake secured 50
votes. The Utah delegates have been
prominent right through the convention,
fathering several of the most important
resolutions passed. Thomas P. Sullivan
of Chicago was elected president; John
Lux of St. Paul, vice president; and A.
n. BaTth, ATvada, Colo, director. Ma
tional Secretary Green, at the farewell
banquet tonight at the Commercial
club, spoke of Salt Lake as being the
most enterprising city he had ever
visited. But for the fact that the Salt
Lake delegate made no announcement
until tonight Of his proposal, the officers
believe Salt Lake would have secured
the 1910 convention.

Two happy women-women who are
destined to be still happier after having
used a gas range. are reading this morn

ranges given by the Utah Gas & Coke
company and The Herald for the best
essay on cooking with gas and the best
poem on the same subject. And doubt
less many others are regretting that they
failed 10 seize their opportunity and make
a trial for the prizes.
Herewith are given the poem and the
essay which were adjudged the best by
competent judges. Mrs. c. Paddock. Of

tent to place her thoughts In prose. is
equally fortunate. Both are doubtless
housekeepers and will appreciate their
well won honors and the very substantial
rewards they receive.
The first week Of the cooking demon
strations Is closed with the awarding Of
these prizes, four prizes, s. cash each. for
recipes having been awarded besides
these two ranges. The week has been a
most successful one. not alone for the
fact that the cooking demonstrations
have given some new and useful ideas in
the realm OF housekeeping. but that cook

four different women to win prizes with
their recipes, and that these excellent
