Next came the Quaker Oats" This
%aS put up by the same factory and
the same grade of goods and was de-
clared a tie.
fhen came the rice The rice was
so close a contest that there was
scarcely any difference. but a piece
OF cracked rice was discovered in tho
local rice and the Eastern rice was
given the preference.
Then came the navy beans. and the
Smith Grocery Store was given a de-
cidcd advantage on the navy beans.
with a tie between Mr.. Carver and
the Eastern beans.
Next came the coffee contest The
three coftees were declared to be
about the same thing with the choice
in favor of the Eastern coffee.
Then the tea was inspected and the
Smith Grocery tea was declared much
superior TO the Eastern tea, and is
one OF the few items where the East
crn goods showed UP inferior enough

Then the first award was given to
the fdSlSTn syrup, Wlln SUlln anu
Carver a tie for second position. Then
MI Carver discovered another can of
syrup on the table, and 1t turned out
to be very superior grade of maple
and cane syrup, and of course ranked
equal with the Eastern grade.
Then came the spice contest. This
was hard proposition to handle and
was declared to be tie. but. as mat
ter of preference had TO be given,
Carver was given the best on cloves
Smith ON whole nutmegs and Carver
on ground nutmegs.
Then came the walnuts, 1t was
agreed that six walnuts from each
sample should be tested by being
opened, and the first six walnuts
were Smiths. Two OF them proved
to be bad. Then came the Eastern
walnut. every one OF them fresh, with
a full, plump kernel. Then came Mr..
Carver's walnuts, all Of them In good
order. excepting that the kernel was
not plump and showed that the nut
had been picked little too early, and
one Of the nuts had a little mildew
on It. This, OF course. was a complete
victory for the Eastern walnut,
Next came the Brazilian nut, Mr.,
Smiths were cracked first and every
one OF them turned out to be in first
class condition; there was not even
a sign of age or mlldew about them,

The grocery contest at the Court
House, yesterday afternoon. was a
most unique and interesting affair
The people were q little slow gather
ing, but al quarter past three the
court room was crowded with men
and women. NJ F. Reid was there
with the goods he had purchased from
Chicago. James S. Carver and 2. X
Smith each had line of groceries
there In competition with the Chicago
goods. The groceries presented were
the bill oil goods heretofore described
in The Standard and as reproduced
again In this article The following
four ladies were selected to act as
Judges:
Mrs ID. Decker. Mrs, w. A. Knight,
Mrs, John n. Ford and Mrs. n. f.
Dobbs.
And then the real contest began.
il the Ogden merchants get 1t Into
their heads that the people OF Ogden
who bought In the East were buying
inferior goods. they were quickly un.
deceived, so far as it applied TO the
goods that Nj. f. Reid had purchased
Neither was there any effort on the
part of the two merchants present AT
selecting any better grade of goods.
In fact, both Of the Ogden merchants
said that the goods they presented
were what they had for sale. that they
could not AFFORD to keep the cheaper
grades Of groceries.
The first inspection was canned
corn. -Four cans were presented to
the ladies, two by Dlr. Carver. one by
Mr. Smith and one by the Eastern
house Mr Carver had presented one
additional brand OF corn. probably the
very best on the market and very
high priced corn. We presume Mr.,
Carver placed the additional can Of
corn to see whether or not the la
dies were good judges on corn, and no
one was more surprised than he was
when the four ladies picked out the
superior brand of corn Immediately
and pronounced Il to be the best, But
as Mr. Carver would not include this
high-priced corn in competition With
the Eastern brand, 1t was withdrawn.
and the ladies had to judge a second
time. and they declared there was no
choice between the other two grades
Of corn.
Next came the Lard. and here again
it was nip and tuck Two of the
ladies favored the Eastern lard and
two favored the local lard. with a

, Next came Mr.. Carvcr's Brazilian nuts,
with one oil them bad. Next came the
Eastern nut, with three OF them bad,
and, as Il result. Mr.. Smith received
the first award for Brazilian nuts.
Then came the bacon contest Each
piece OF bacon was cut in two. and
probably three nicer pieces OF bacon
have never been seen In Ogden. The
four ladies were completely puzzled
There was the best Eastern bacon
Russell 6 James best bacon, the Og-
den Packing company's best bacon
AS an award had to be made, the pref.
erence was as follows:
The Eastern bacon first choice, with
the Russell &c James second choice
and the Ogden Packing company third
choice. But the four ladies admitted
that they would be satisfied with eth"
er piece of bacon.
Then came the ham contest, in
which the ogden Packing Company
and the Eastern ham tied for first
place, with Russell 6 James a close
second, Thon came the grocery can
dy contest, and it was unanimously
decided that both the Carver and tho
Smith candies were superior to the
Eastern grocery candy. Next came
the chocolate candy. The first choice
was given to Carver and Smith for
cream chocolate candy. and Carver
and Smith plain chocolate candy was
declared tie with the Eastern choc-
olate.
And so on down the list Each ar
ticle was opened, tasted, tested and
examined, and. when the ladies got
through, they declared that there was
so little difference between the goods
that they would be perfectly willing
TO take either lot and pay the price
and be satisfied. The following Is the
report of the committee and speaks
Tor itself.
The Judges Report.
We, the undersigned committee, ap-
pointed to act as judges In the gro
Gerry contest at tho Court House on
Jan. ). 1910. do state that we exam
ined the groceries presented by Mr.
NJ. T. Reid which he purchased from
Chicago, and the same line Of goods
presented by P. X, Smith and by Jas.
S. Carver of Ogden. We find some
of the Eastern goods are trifle bet
ter than the local goods, and we find
fully as many of the local goods su-
perior TO the Eastern goods. but that
as whole. there is little, II any.

After the committee had reported
most Of The people left, and general
conversation took place. In which Mr.
Smith stated that he would duplicate
any bill of Eastern goods with the
freight added. Mr., Carver promptly
stated that. not only would he also
duplicate any Eastern goods plus
freight, but every grocery store in
Ogden would do the same. Then
considerable discussion was INDUCED
in between IA number OF ladies and
the ogden grocery men. The latter
claimed that they had been selling at
these prices during the past, and the
ladies would not submit to any such
statement, and promptly so advised
the grocery men. but the grocery men
claimed that the people who sent
away for their goods did not give the
Ogden grocery men chance TO fig
ure upon the same QUANTITY OF
goods. After considerable discussion.
Mr. Carver and Mr. Smith stated that
they would duplicate the goods
shipped from the East in quantities
and paid for cash down. the same as
paid by Mr.. Reid, viz: $27.96
Here are the goods inspected and
the prices the local merchants Will
charge, same being $1.5l less than the

en- by Secretary Wilson today at a
conference of bureau chiefs OF the de
partment OF agriculture.
About one thousand Student en-
ployes" are referred to.
Secretary Wilson says he Is in no
position to Interfere with the heads
of bureaus himself, for he holds
them directly responsible for high
standard results. Nor does he in-
tend to stop the low salaried employees
such as those that received from 5000
to 1880, but he feels that when the
government spends time and money
training employees In It's scientific
work and advances them to salaries oil
81 400, $500 and more. it should
have full returns.

Los Angeles. Jan. Both the

schedule time over all their routes
and much OF the damage wrought by
the recent floods has been repaired to

anticipated. The damage done to the

Here. then. we find that the ogden
grocery stores Will duplicate the same
quality and quantity for cash for the
sum of $26.i5 delivered at the Ogden
home, for what the Chicago people
charge $27.96. Now the writer ad-
vised the two grocery store men that
the people who had been sending
away for goods did not ask for a lower
price. but they both responded that
the prices above quoted In the guam
titles named is their price. Now The
Standard has but one interest IN this
matter; first we want the consumer
TO get square deal. but we want
him TO buy his goods In Ogden if the
price Is right We believe the Ogden
grocers Will come down to the Eastern
prices, plus freight.
We want the people OF Ogden, who
have been In the habit Of sending
East for their goods. TO give any gro
Gerry store an opportunity to fill their
orders at the above named or any
Eastern prices. II your grocer will
not give you those prices. call on
