meut OF the organization under the re-
cent ruling by which dues and fees will
be reduced for period of sixty days fol-
lowing April I. II also is probable that

means become easier to gain member

standpoint While the list OF prospec-
tive members is steadily growing. each

rigid an investigation as 10 standing

new members will be taken in without
the most favorable references.
The b-commlttee Investigation

PRACTICAL JOKE SEEN
IN BARN MYSTERY
Recalls Bucket of Blood"
Enigma of Three Years
Ago; Sheriff Sleuths.

Something was killed in the barn OF
the SparksEi Candy company Sstur-
day nisht-a pig, q calf, a cow, a horse
or mayhap an elephant So strong is
the belief that there was killing of
some kind in the barn that Sheriff Jo-
seph c. Sharp and four deputies, two
and half dozen freeIancins inyesti-
gators spent the greater part or yestcr-
day in an attempt to learn the why and
the wherefore OF blood found on the
floor the walls and on some OF the ar
ticles in the stable.
Whether the blood was human blood or
animal blood VIII be determined today
when State Chemist Herman Harms
places a sample of it under his micro
scopic apparatus and counts and classi-
fies the corpuscles found therein
Puzzled by the total absence OF all
signs OF the corpus delecti. as the lawyers
would say, the sheriff's force spent many
hours Yesterday investigating every pos
Sibc clcw.
Sheriff Sharp heard OF two men who
got on Garfield train at the Salt Lake
Route depot sunday morning, Accom-
panied by several deputies. the sheriff
went 10 Garfield in his automobile yes
terjay afternoon and found the two men.
who proved TO his satisfaction that they
had noc even killed a mouse. Last mid
night the sheriff declared that he had
found absolutely nothing bearing upon the
case, but that he WAS still confident that
some foul deed had been done.
The police. after Investigating all day
Sunday and coming 10 the conclusion that
some animal had been butchered In the
stable, and that the crime, il any. lay
In the theft of pig or calf, started
out again yesterday afternoon, evidently
fearful lest the sheriff and his men might
discover something they had overlooked.
Three years ago the police took much
interest in a case very similar 10 this.
barn in the southern part of the city
wds found bcsmeared with blood i'll the
same fashion. That case had several Cea-
lures all its own. however. FOR instance
IL bulldog OF fcrocious meip that wus ac-
custou'cd 10 sleeping in the stable was
found the same morning in the loft with
u ring OF blood about his nose, as thcugi,
drawn by a human finger To get into
the loft the dog must have either climbed
a ladder or been carried there.
In that case II transpired. after the
police had exhausted their acumen and
powers OF deduction. that practical
Joker had carted several buckets OF blood
from slaughterhouse half a mile away
and had deliberately spread Il about the
sta BILE.

Of the making of slogans there is no
end. Salt Lake is TO have such n
slogan as never before was put forth
by any progressive city. 1t is 10 be
crisp, pigrammatic--so full OF meat
that lis few words shall fairly burst
in effulgcut cXpressiycncss.
And it ought to bc Il comparatively
easy thing TO do-to make this slogan.
When the town is looked over and OBJ
servsticn is made OF the vast amount
of material there is to draw from, the
right thing to say ought 10 occur in
stantly to he brigh mind.
For instance, the world eye is
chiefly turned toward tho Pacific
coast just now. Many hundreds of
thousands of people will visit the
golden west between now and the end
of 1915. During the next four years
Salt Lake will be called upon to enter
tain these myriad visitors passing
through.
\ slogan is wantcd-onc that will
Immediately strike hard at the impress
sionahle point, and one that will stick.
1t must he 4 slogan that will not per
nit itself 10 be forgotten. lt shall be
one that VIII cause itself TO be car
ricd away in the minds OF visitors and
will make itself talked about wherever
these guests may go throughout the
land. So an opportunity is now pre-
seOted to the genius OF cpigram. y
slogan is wanted, and right soon.
Salt Lake City occupies the position
of being the chief industrial, financial,
manufacturing and mining point in the
intermountain region. Transport alton
facilities arc abundant Raw materials
waiting to be turned into finished
products abound in almost bcwildcring
profusion. The town has splendid
banking institutions and business
houses. conducted by men and corpora
tions of reliability renowned through
ont the country. Schools and colleges
Of the highest order are plentiful.
There is & plentitude of public spirit
standing in support of Salt Lake S
claims to foremost place in the van
Of progress. And Salt Lake must have
d slogan.
BUSINESS men have been asked to
make suggestions along this line. They
are at work GU the matter right now.
Some OF them desire Il little time TO
think over the proposition. Others say
that the thing will suddenly occur to
them as if by some inspiration. and
that when it docs occur to the mind it
will be just the right thing to say
Still others had one ready, and
