What Does the sron.e sutton Mesn7

A year ago Charles w. Skillings of
Portland, a U. S. Inspector OF customs,
a veteran soldier and a member OF Bos-
worth post, @. A. r., at a campfire spoke
of the bronze button worn by members Of
the order. Gen. j.. L. Chamberlain, who
heard him, eomplimented him on his fine
reply to the question, "What does the
bronze button mean ?" and later said
mo one need ask again after hearing that
speech" Since that campfire the COM
rades OF the Grand Army have talked on
the brief speech OF their comrade and feel
that it deserves the widest possible circu-
Iation. Mr.. skillings said:
"Ihe small round metallic button seen
in tho lapel Of many coats worn by the
rank and file of the survivors OF the rebel
lion OF 1879 is fast becoming & question,
w hat is it and why do men wear it ?
81 have had the question asked me
many times and am surprised there are
SO many Tho know not what il represents,
and many, many more who have no idea
Of its meaning.
"First it represents the life of a nation.

America. 1t identities the wearer as one
of the nations preseryers. To go into de-
tail, it points to a hero, one " no left home

all for his country, to put on the garb OF
a soldier, shouldered his gun, went to the
front and offered himself a breastwork

bullets, jeopardized his life that the ma
ton might live.

mistakes and the suffering Of that great
Civil War, the nation came out larger and

Local Merchants Say Measure

Business.
STILL OUTLOOK IS GOOD

Retail and Wholesale Men Say
That Fall Business Looks
Good.

The past summer has not been so
business in real estate is concerned,
Every hope is that the retail business
will be much better next year, and that
the wholesale trade will make great
increase during the next year, and the
retail and wholesale merchants are look
ing forward to a great increase In sales.
The decrease in trade is attributed
much TO the passage Of the Payne Aid
rich bill, which has created II great
unrest in trade. According to local
merchants. the change which has been
made in the tariff has imposed upon
them q difference of duty that works
upon them n great hardship.
Business, however, as far as the fall
season is concerned, shows better than
IL did in the opening season. Every
opening for all fall goods, 'All mer-
chants say that the fall season will be
a good one; that there Will be n large
demand for all classes of goods, and
that the season ought to compare ia
vorably with the same season during
the past twenty years.
While the last summer was duller
than that of the former wears. that IS
presumed to be due 10 the general un
pectcd that Utah from now on viii re.

its crop under the irrigation process,
the production never fails.
