DISTRIBUTE EXCESS PROFITS
Growers Of 1918 Wool Crop Being
Paid as Rapidly as Possible by
Department Of Agriculture.

Excess profits made by dealers who
handled the wool clip in 1913 are be-
ing distributed to some 100000 wool
growers by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, 1t is estimated
that the total amount Of such excess
profits is more than one million dol
lars. of which a little less than half
has been turned over to the bureau Of
markets for distribution at the present
time.
Some of the dealers who acCumu-
lated excess profits have failed or re-
fused to refund the entire amount so
far, and the bureau is working TO So
cure the full amount. The department
of justice is cooperating with the
bureau. and it is hoped TO complete
the distribution of the funds at an ear
ly date.

States, was short lived. Following the
recent announcement of these impor-
tant figures by the United States De
partment Of Agriculture the depart
ment has compiled reports for the
first seven months Of this year which
show that the United States during
that period imported 22.S55, 900 pounds
OF foreign butter. which Is more
tina ever before.
This remarkable Increase Is at
tributed by foreign marketing experts

largely TO the foreign exchange stu
alton. With American dollars com.
handing q premium throughout the
world IT is obviously good business for
foreign butter manufacturers to sell
their product in the United States. For.
eign manufacturers also have the ad-
vantage of low cargo rates. Another
reason for the increased imports is
that whereas England was formerly
penmark's principal butter outlet,
England can now purchase butter mor
Cheaply from Australia and Argen-

Surprising in liberality any offer of
its kind ever given in this section, the
SALT LAKE HERALD is offering to
men and women remarkable opportun-

outa cent of cost Other handsome priz-
es including sparkling diamond rings,
talking machines, cash prizes, etc, are al

of automobiles is attracting the eager at
tention of hundreds of people, and the
good news of the HERALDaS salesman
ship campaign is sweeping in every di-
rection.
Automobiles are something not every
one can buy, to obtain one free without
paying money for it is something that
seldom occurs. Possession means pleas

buy-except in this campaign. The Op-
Iportunity is open to men and women,
whether residing in the city or country.

Mascagni's famous "Cavalleria Rus

a program of three acts in all, the

houses all over the world, one of the
operas is hardly ever given without
the other for they form an ideal
combination, although their compos-

apart.
The choice OF this double bill also
affords opportunity for larger dis
play talent than a single opera
would offer, and accordingly Manag-
er Thatcher of the Lyric, has induced
Fortune Gallo, general director of the
San Carlo, TO schedule double cast
for this occasion. Consequently two
prima donnas will participate, Bula
Ray Shull, the celebrated young Am
erican dramatic soprano, in the role
of Santuzza in "Cavalleria," and Ro-
sina zotti. equally famous Italian
dramatic soprano, as MEDIA in "Pag-
