NEW YORK, June 21.-The Ameri-
can board of commissioners for for
eign missions will start in July to
raise fund of $2O0,0OO for foreign
missions. Fully one-third of the
amount will be used in Turkey, ac-
cording to one of the officers, for
there are located some of the best
educational institutions controlled by
the board. The growth there has been
greater than in other countries.
Many of the colleges in Turkey and
China cannot accommodate all the
students that apply for admission A
permanent fund of 100000 for each
institution is desired by the board,
which believes that an income that
can be depended upon will insure bet
ter work.

on the afternoon Of Tuesday, July /, it
has been decided TO make the best of
The bad situation and to prepare for the
event with all tbs care possible The
team VIII be strong one for the Ad
club. Positions of water carrier bat
holder and scorer have many appll-
cants and it Is expected that the out
6eld Will be well illcd-with spectat
ors, number of special features will
be placed on the diamond and every
man making home run will be thrown
over the fence after the ball 1t is
only fitting to state that admission TO
the game will he free; tickets, 81.
Great interest is centered in tho Mar
atbon race, the principal contestants in
which Will be NJ Il. Mulvey and ''Fat -
Schuler. On account of the eXtraoTdi-
nary interest in this event it has been
necessary TO make the purse as large as
possible and the sum of 100000 Will be
presented to the winner of this con
test. Contestants will not be permitted
10 sit down and they must not rest
more than five minutes Al any one time.
1t will be interesting 10 admirers of
the fstic art to know that an amicable
agreement has been arrived at between
John S. Critchlow of the Press club and
Malcolm McAllister Of the Ad club and
that the 105roupd 90 between these
two doughty champions will surely be
pulled off. Both champions arc now IN
training and are talking loudly over the
tremendous success they intend TO
make. At the present time there is
slight difficulty with the contest be
cause nothing but cold water Is TO ne
permitted at the ringside, but II IS
hoped this difficulty will be adjusted IN
the near future.
1t VIII be observed that the war cry
or tho Ad men has been changed. from
''Live until July !, - 10 - Don t die
until after July T." This change was
necessitated on account ol reported
recent meeting OF the undertakers OF
the city IN which IT was understood
that action was 10 be taken against the
Ad club on the ground that they. were
couspiring. The meeting was held be
hind closed doors and was not given
out to the press. Nevertheless, II
seemed advisable 10 avoid as far as
possible any attempt 20 iniure The eX-
cellent health record Of the city, hence
the above change.
In the meantime, eff .you don t see
it on July /, ask for it.

HOW ABOUT THIS?
SAY THE REALTY MEN
There Was Never Anything TO
Equal It, Before or
Since.

In the history Of the Salt Lake Real
Estate association there has never been
as much enthusiasm connected with the
annual outing at Sa]tair, which Is to be
held at that resort next Tuesday, June
20. Secretary Perhes said Friday that
if IT had not been that preparations
had started early in the game. il would
be almost impossible at the present time
10 take care of all the details which
form so large part OF the work,
The pr,Ze lists. containing 53S prizes,
were issued Friday and show n great
number Of valuable articles donated to
the association by the merchants of
the city. Almost every concern ir the
city is represented. In scarcely one in
stance has IL been necessary 10 solicit
TO any great extent for these prizes,
Simply 10 ask has resulted in the re
ceipt of hand some articles, many Of
them of great value. The sale Of tick
cts, too. has been much larger than for
the same period on any previous year.
Scarcely a day passes that there arc
not reports Of a heavy demand for
transportation 20 Saltair from the Real
Estate association, and there are indi-
cations that the crowd at the resort AT
this year outing VIII be the largest
famous pavilion by tbs Great Salt
Lake.

those who. intend to 90 there ou Real
Estate day Will do well to come early
and avoid the rush There will be spe-
cisl trains all day long to the resort to
care for the crowd and there Will be
something doing every minute on June

pleasant smile that won t come off

than ever boosting story to tell their

Several oouncimen have expressed
themselves as fsvorins bread ordinance

favor the proposed ordinance.
The ordinance as proposed would ro-

date Of baking ard the weight OF the
loaf.
The weight is the most Important
thing. 1t Ls coutended. with no or.
dinence or restriction upon this subject.
the producer may reduce the weight any
tim. he chooses and thus Increase the

The name Of tine producer on the label

Such an ordinance 1t is believed would
not only absolutely protect the consumer.
but would also insure TO the producer
a square deal.
by some the argument has been ad-
vanccd that =. standard Weight ought To

that this should not be done. With the
