most of them. We have no place now
to hold Fourth of July celebrations or
other celebrations of like nature.
Then" continued the speaker, there
is the auto show, which by all means
should be made an annual event No
convention or celebration of any sort
has brought to this city anything like
the amount of money or has done to
the city anything like the amount of
good that the auto show did. We have
now no building in which to hold it
and when it comes next year unless
some provision such as that suggested
is made, few merchants will have to
dig up the money needed for the con-
struction of temporary building. The
sort of building which the merchants
had in mind could be used for an
armory and for the holding of all sorts
of public meetings. 1 do not care to
discuss location. l have no lots to
sell anywhere, but believe that some
thing of the kind outlined is needed. >"
Luke E. Wright followed by a brief
talk in which he called attention to
the fact that last year the merchants
of the city had raised $500 to put in a
dance floor and when it was down a
rain prevented it's use. Things of this
sort showed the convenience of a
large hall. There were more than a
oil IL, - 1,
plan, but as the two speakers seemed
to have covered the ground to their
satisfaction, they made no talks.
Architect Gates then produced a
tentative plan of the proposed build
ing, which would be 100 by 125 in size,
and two stories high, with provision
for raising the office part to five stor-
les if necessary. The auditorium pro-
posed would have "a seating capacity
of 100. Other necessary rooms were
provided for the use of the city. Mr.
Gates also produced another rough
draft of a building so by 100 feet
which could be used for a city hall
alone. He had not figured the cost
i on this.
Relative to the character of his mo-
ton at the previous council meeting
Councilman Bracken said that his in
tention was not made quite clear by
the minutes. The suggestion of s40,-
900 was only approximate. He felt
that more discussion was needed in
order to determine what should be
done. Mayor Sweeley said that in
drafting the proposed ordinance, the
city attorney had left the amount
blank. j. M. Maxwell suggested the
need of an armory, and said that he
considered that more encouragement

SUGAR BEET SEED TO
BE RAISED AT filler
Thirty Acres Planted ON the DeKIotz
Farm-Seed Now Grown in Germany
and Russia.

An auto party went yesterday with
George Richie to the DeKlotz ranch
near Filler for the purpose of observ-
ing the planting of some of the 80
acres of mother beets from which il
is hoped to raise a large quantity of
seed during the coming year. A SINH
lar field of suger beets for seed is be-
ing planted at Burley. These are
among the very few such fields in the
United States. Practically all the
sugar beet seed of the world has here
tofore come from Germany and Rus
STA, but as the energies of those people
have been devoted to other forms of
activity during the past couple of
years, the price has gone up enor-
mously and a famine is threatened un-
less the seed can be raised in this
country. There is a great deal of hand
work involved at every stage, as ex-
IRENE care is necessary, hence an I'M
usually large part of the cost of pro-
duction is labor cost Experts have
expressed the opinion that the soil of
the Twin Falls tract is favorable for
the raising of the seed of the sugar
beet and have predicted the success of
the experiment if properly conducted.

neutral port of Batavia. Our enter
prising New York merchant concluded,
however, that he was more con-
versant with conditions in the Far
East than his newly discovered GUS
toner and shipped the goods via a
British port Not content with making
the shipment contrary to the specific
instructions of the importer he sent
him a brief letter wherein he conveyed
the rather interesting news that after
making a careful investigation he
found that he could save the Bangkok
dealer a considerable sum in freight
charges by making the shipment via
Singapore. The result was that the
British authorities declined to permit
the transshipment of the cargo. The
German firm has not yet obtained de-
livery of the goods nor has the Am
erican exporter received payment for
the same.
l do not wish, however, to be under
stood as making a sweeping indict-
ment of the business methods employ
ed by all American firms engaged in
promoting trade with the Asiatics.
There are scores of American manu-
facturers who have adopted and are
now applying the best business me-
thods in their bid for the far eastern
trade. Will go even further than this.
Never before has there been the same
interest among our American business
men in the vital question of gaining a
dominating influence in the markets
of the Orient But if we are to at
tain this ambition it will require a
systematic campaign of education. In
a word,it will require the same energy
in the Orient which the modern and
progressive business man applies to
the creation of new business in Amer
lea. True it is that better shipping
and more adequate banking facilities
are quite essential, but unless our ex-
! porters adopt systematic business me-
thods neither our ships nor our banks
will be able to show a sufficient div
idend to enable them to remain in
business. In conclusion l therefore
commend to the careful and thought
full consideration of the American ex
porters the following suggestions:
We should make a comprehensive
study of conditions in the Orient
We should manufacture for the Ash.
atics what the Asiatics want
We should devote more time and at

tention to the scientific packing of
goods designed for export.
We should see that all shipments
are plainly marked.
We should take into consideration
the climatic conditions in manufactur-
ing and and preparing for shipment
goods of a perishable character.
We should send our best travelling
statesmen and provide them with suf-
ficient funds to cover the territory
thoroughly and regularly.
We should advertise our manufac-
tured products in Asiatic newspapers.
We should establish agencies wher-
ever possible and these agencies
should invariably be placed in the
hands of American citizens.
We should encourage the extension
of American banking facilities.
We should earnestly support the
movement designed to build up a
greater merchant marine
If the above suggestions are follow
ed, the demands of our Asiatic GUS
toners will keep the wheels of indus
try turning for generations to come.

should be given the military boys. He
considered that this was of more i'm
portance than most Of the other things
suggested, and he would favor a hall
large enough to make provision for
the company.
Architect Burton E. Morse produced
a plan for building so by rs feet,
with back ground of rs by 100 feet
which could be covered. The building
itself would cost from $4,000 to $780,
600 and the roof over the back ground
about $4,000 more. The rooted addi-
ton could be fixed to seat from 1900 to
1000 people. The small space in the
rear of the main building could also
be utilized
Having discussed all the plans pro-
posed and made number of sugges-
tons, the whole matter was laid on
the table to be taken up at a special
meeting later on.
Attorney Asher b. Wilson asked the
council whether action had been TAX
en- on the proposal to pave the end
of Sboshone street. On being inform
ed that nothing had been done, he
suggested the idea of parking the
middle of the street where new paving
was placed and having a roaoN
each side. The council took the mat
ter under Amusement b. h. Gates
wanted water extension for the tri-
angle in front of his residence, which
is being beautified and his request
was allowed w. A. Minnick requested
that his petition for the plating of
the Mutual and Tolbert additions be-
yond the Blue Lakes boulevard be al
lowed. Favorable action was taken in
regard to the Mutual but the Tolbert
was referred back to City Attorney
Herriott. The idea of the council in
regard to the issuance of permits is to
make it as simple as possible. The
old ordinance repealed long ago was
said to have been cumbersome and I'M
necessarily complicated.
The meeting being the first of the
councilmanic year, many details were
discussed. The officers all reported,
without having anything of special in
terest to tell. The city employment
agent reported good business, having
had 80 applications since he opened
for business.
City Treasurer H. e. Rounds, who
has just returned from Rochester.
Mimi, took up some matters that
arose during his absence in the keep
ing of the accounts and having ad-
justed them the council allowed bills

from Berlin to Paris might not with
stand the long voyage from Amster
dam to Bangkok unless the goods were
properly marked and securely packed.
He therefore turned his attention to
the matter of scientific packing for the
export trade and as a result his goods
invariably arrived in marketable con-
dition. His next move was to send out
experienced travelling statesmen who
regularly covered the territory. These
men were not mere globe-trotters des-
patched on a mission of pleasure
They were men of a pleasing person
atty who had a serious mission to
perform and with few exceptions they
performed it to the entire satisfaction
of their employers. These mis-
siOnaries of business established agen-
cies, and in many instances retail
stores of the first rank Banking in
situations followed as a matter of
course. Both the travelling salesman
and the permanent agents kept the
home manufacturers in close touch
with the changing conditions. By way
OF illustration only last year one of
The enterprising European firms in
Bangkok conceived the idea Of import
ing for the domestic trade a large
shipment of dolls dressed in the Siam
csc national costume. The costume
was designed in Siam and the sample
sent to the European manufacturer
Within six months after its receipt a
shipment of Siamese dolls was unload
ed at the dock in Bangkok and the
Queen Mother alone purchased two
motor loads of these beauties for dis
tribution among the children of the
Royal Family.
In contrast to the thoroughgoine
business methods employed by oul
European competitors, l cite a typi
cal instance of the lack of foresight
