An Appreciated Lecture

Fred c.. Palm of Newton, Ind,
known as the worlds most success
full corn grower, addressed a large
concourse of farmers end others on
La Porte street, this forenoon. His
was essentially corn talk and deep
ly interesting to his listeners. A
feature of his remarks was their alb
solute frankness, and he spoke to his
hearers as if he was most DESTROYS
of their taking his advice so that
in future they might profit from
what he told them. There were SOME
features of the corn exhibit. he said.
which were interesting. The exhi-
bit was large one, and In this the
farmers and the Commercial
Club were to be congratulated
However, in all frankness ne must
say to them that they were not post
ed on what was really needed. Their
idea was TO favor the growing of
large ears, irrespective of quality.
That was a grave mistake He f.
vored the standard ear which should
measure So inches in length and not
over 6S1 in width. OF course he
understood that the fault lay not a.
together with the farmer but with
the public which demanded quantity
rather than quality. He believed the
farmers had an honest and earnest
desire to grow the kind of corn whica
he spoke of. The winners In the con
tests Thursday proved this in their eff
forts to cultivate the short ear OF
corn he hoped that when the next
exhibit was shown that the farmers
would have profted by his remarks
Mr. Palm. during his talk exhi-
bited several ears of his own corn
which were examined with great In
tereSt. Incidentally he paid the hor-
ticultural exhibit a high compliment
when he stated that lie had visited
every horticultural show in India
and that the one in Plymouth ,ue-
passed them all in regard to quf

praise 10 the Commercial Club. and
stated that there had been nothing
selfish in their getting up such fes-
tival. which was credit to everyone
concerned. 1t had cost the club
many hundreds of dollars and one
could easily see that the merchants
of the town were not profting much
BY the event. they were standing at
their shop doors extending a hearty
welcome to every visitor in the city
That was the right kind of public
spirit-the spirit which went far
in making good citizenship and
camaraderie. These merchants had

bring this great festival to a sue

Congress Is Addressed by Judge Lind.
say of Denver on Conservation Of
Chiidrcn-Nct Much Politics
Heard or Talked.

Kansas City. Sept 26-At the con-
servaticn congress in Convention hall
delegates, pubic officials, representa-
tives of governors and others told of
the progress of tie spirit of conserva-
ton in states from the Atlantic ocean
to those en- the sunset side of the
Rocky mountains
Speakers told about how conserva-
ton was applied to everything. from
the overflow water of the Illinois
rivers TO the shrimps of the Louisi-
ana Men from Nebraska and Mime
sofa told about how they increased
the productivity of the soil Delegates
from California told about the con-
servation of minerals and trees, about
the efforts that are being made to
store the water supply and increase
the supply of cheap power in the west
ern states.
Judge B. B. Lindsay of Denver told
of the effort to conserve the children
of the cities and farms.
1.-THE government or the United
States and this state of California are
combining in their efforts to increase
the usefulness of the natural re-
sources" p. ]. Raumbartner, who rep
resented Governor Johnson of Cali
fornia at the congress, said. "The
work has just begun, but We are push
ing it We expect to have cheaper
power for lights and manufacturing
than We have now"
The only woman representative who
spoke vas Mrs. Holland c. Day of
Idaho. She said conservation was
taking hold of the people of Idaho, and
it's principles were being practiced on
the soil and the timber.
Governor Hadley of Missouri, who
presided at the meeting, remarked
about woman suffrage in Idaho and
Mrs. Day left the platform. Turning
to the audience. with her hand out
stretched Mrs. Day said loudly:
Woman suffrage is sweeping the
nation and it will not be long until
you lave It in Missouri"
A REGULAR feature of this congress
as contrasted with the St Paul con-
gress is the absence of politics in the
air. Usually the politicians are busy
getting a line Oh how their prospec-
tive candidates stand. but there has
been very little Of that this year.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept 26.-Presi-
dent Taft's program carried him into
twelve towns and through three con-
gressional districts, so he had a
kaleidoscope view Of insurgent Kan
sas
His reception by the people was as
large in numbers as Governor Stubs
in his qualified greeting to the presi-
dent had expressed a desire for Whole
towns seemed to be gathered at the
stations enroute to greet him. Ex-
cept in perhaps two instances there
was not noticeable difference be-
tween tie warmth of his reception in
Kansas than IT. the other states which
he has visited on this trip. The day
was undoubtedly 2 surprise to every
one accompanying the president, per-
haps including himself.
Mr. Taft ended his speech-making
or the day with his address before
the conservation congress here, and
here he was the one to spring the
surprise, for instead of carrying off
the preservers of cur resources to the
abstruse problems of the Alaskan coal
fields he babe them keep their atten-
ton at home and see to it that the
American farmer was shown the way
to increase the products of his lands
in PACE with the increase of the coun-
try's population.
The great accomplishment for Mr..
Taft was that he brought the people
out to listen to him, and secured their
thoughtful attention. while he told
them of his Issues.
The way that Kansas audiences re-
ceived the president is interesting.
when he entered Coffeyville in the
morning at o'clock the people were
lined along the streets. There must
have been some $4,000 to see him.
About the only enthusiasm he aroused
was among the school children, who
had been given holiday to. see the

The display of fruits and vege-
tables In the tent nfront of Buck 5
hardware store, is attracting much
attention, and the booth is continu-
ously crowded. Visitors marvel at
the high excellence of the display.
marvel over the fact that Marshall
county can produce such fruit and
vegetables, and marvel still more
over the fact that heretofore the
farmers and fruit growers of the
county have kept their success In
this particular line of horticulture
very much to themselves.
1t only required a Home Coming
to exploit this important branch of
horticulture. Now that it has been
most successfully brought to the
attention of thousands of visitors.
Marshall county will undoubtedly
reap that benefit which is itstly
hers. 1t Is absolutely certain hat
In future the fruit growers of this
section will not be content to hide
their lights under a bushel; they
will aspire to still greater things.
and it Is certain that they will gain
a reputation for themselves and for
the county in which they live which
will be hard TO beat.
A visit to the fruit and vegetable
section cannot but fail to please.
1t is one of the big features of TIE
festival The exhibits have never
been excelled in this or any 9th ar
state. at least that Is what the
iudges say,and they ought to know.
The praises which have been passed
ON this section cannot out stimulate
the farmers to still greater efforts.
and it is safe to say that an impetus
has been given to fruit growing In
this part of the state as was never
previously dreamed OF.
In the apple section alone there
are 344 exhibits. Other exhibits IN
cIude pears, peaches, plums, grapes,
ounces, radishes, cabbage, potatoes,
tomatoes, water melons, musk mel
ons, squash, pumpkins. turnips, beets
egg plant, mangolds and canned
fruits and jellies of all kinds.
An interesting part OF this Sec
t;on is an exhibit by Isaac Anderson
of some ginseng and some golden
seal. The ginseng ranges from one
IN four wears old.

SALT LAKE CITY HAS
ONE OF OLDEST BANKS

The Pacific Banker. a Portland, Ore,
publication, has been looking up the
early. history of western banking, and
finds that Salt Lake has one of the
five oldest banks west Of the Missouri
river.
The first to be established. Of the old
banks still in existence, was the D.
O. Mills a. Co. institution. which was
founded in Sacramento, Cal. in 1850
The second was the Wells Fargo bank
in San Francisco. which was founded
In 1852 and which later established a
branch in Salt Lake City.
Three banks were founded in 1859
Thcv were the Walker Brothers bank
in Salt Lake City, the Hibernia Saw

have been at prices fixed some time

investment basis were closed it has
been because the buyers regarded the
property offered worth the money. The
same has been true of purchases purely

SUMMER GOODS
TAKE THE LEAD
Demand for Lighter Weights in
Evidence i'm Salt Lake
Stores.

Summer raiment-the light and cool
dress goods-has been at the front with
in the last week with the retail stores.
There has been a sudden change in the
general lines of purchases, and trade
naturally has been affected to a notice
able degree. For the week the gross
business has been satisfactory to mer-
chants. Special sales as before have
been favored with heavy demands
wherever advertised.
With men S apparel, of course, straw
hats, lightweight clothing Of all kinds
and oxfords have been constantly in
demand, and have brought sales up rap.
idly for the week There has been
apparent the last of the annual change,
and summer togs now hold first place
in the 1imeIight. Summer suits have
been unusually ready sellers, and cloth
ing merchants have had the best ''run -
Of the season in this department.
General trade conditions in Salt Lake
for tho week have been regulated by
the calls on individual lines. This is
to say that from a.retail point of view
the week Just closed has been without
doubt the best in Salt Lake this month.
Backward weather, to certain extent,
bad its influence on general trade con-
ditions. Circus day helped out as a
contributor to increased business.
Improvement III the great channels
Of trade over the country in general is
reflected in the strength OF business
in Salt Lake in every line. While 1T
may be said that direct results from
the general return to better and more
normal conditions have not been Il
direct factor in Salt Lakes aggregate
of business, there is felt the return of
stable, progressive trade surroundings.
There is a note of confidence that has
reached this section, and on every hand
business men with gigantic interests at
stake say everything points to some
thing better, as all the industries enter
a period OF certainty over future de-
velopments.
Profitable appearing business ven
lures have not lacked money for their
promotion. Building in the city keeps
up, and each day new buildings are
reported started. All these take money,
and there appears to be plenty of cash
for these evidences of progress and
growth.
Local retail and wholesale establish
ments have no complaint to register
Salt Lake. From all parts of the state
the reports of big crops assured lend
encouragement to the predictions of a
banner year i'll everything in Utah.
While the decided change in the
weather the middle of the week cur
tailed the sales of lines that opened
strong at the beginning, it helped the

the week IN a satisfactory way to the
