ACHIEVEMENTS OF AMERICAN
LEGION TOLD AT ROTARY
Winslow Outlines Plans for Business
Methods Meeting. Rotariannas Will
BE Entertained Thanksgiving Eve.

A Thanksgiving party is to be stag
ed by the Rotarians and Rotariannas
for next week. Instead of the usual
luncheon Monday, there will be q $50
dinner at the Commercial Hotel We'd
nesday evening OF the 29th, and after
the dinner and various stunts and fun
making features, the party will be
continued at the l. o. o. F. Hall where
those disposed may dance and others
may find amusement.
AT the luncheon last Monday, there
were seven guests, namely, +. T..
Brown S. w. Mckinley, II. W. Endner,
+. NJ. Rost, Nj. b. Herrick, Clarence
Adams and Leonard Gladstone.
Mr.. Brown is Post Commander of
the American Legion and gave a very
interesting account OF the Legion. its
inception at Paris, the period of birth
and childhood. the taking hold by the
organization of the life of the nation
and late rapid growth to million men,
bers. Aside from the objects of per-
petuating the ideals of loyalty and
sacrifice, the local Bruce-Frew Post of
the Legion has done some very practi-
cal work in community betterment
Its outstanding achievement has been
the sponsoring and practical establish
ment of the American Legion park
and camp ground on Tomichi Avenue,
which is beginning to take shape, and
will, within year or so. be source
of pride TO the city and great financial
benefit TO it thru the entertaining of
summer tourists. The Legion has
spent S400 of actual cash, including
most of its available funds, on the
project and means to see it thru.
The recent successful Armistice Day
celebration was referred to. A hope
for the future is the establishment of
Legion club rooms in our city at CEN
trail place properly fitted up where the
boys can enjoy themselves. Mr..
Brown was heartily thanked for his
portrayal of the unselfish work of the
Legion.
Ashton Winslow made short, but
meaty talk on business methods" He
regarded improved business methods
as one Of the principal means to be
adopted in overcoming the inevitable
changes to business of every character
which followed from the war and is
still following US. We could not ex-
pect to escape the mixup, but we can
cure the resultant disease in part.
United States Steel, the largest corpo-
ration in the world, is carefully study
ing improved methods in business, to
enable it to better fulfill its ideals of
square deal to its employees and its
customers.
Mr. Winslow, as chairman Of the
business Methods" committee. has
outlined a complete program, with
talks by different members on related
subjects, which will be given at the
luncheon December 4. Each Rotarian
is expected to bring business friend
as guest on that date.

STAY PASSING OF PRosPECToR
AND HIS BURRO
Hall Million Dollar Grub Stake"
Fund TO be Raised by Mining In
terests in Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 3rd.-An
effort to stay the passing of the pros
pector, his burro and the day of his
picturesque and useful search for new
III Dorados has been started by the
mining committee of the Salt Lake
Commercial club. and arrangements
are being made for establishing a
grub stalking organization with a
capital of five hundred thousand dol
lars. The fund, which would be raised
by popular subscription, would be
used to finance trained and dependable
prospectors in their hunt for minerals
within the state.
Members of the mining committee.
according TO their announcement, en-
tered into the enterprise from public
spirited standpoint only, believing that
Utah, which is the chief silver-produc-
ing state in the union and which has
yielded Sl,500. 100000 in mineral
wealth, is capable of producing several
times this total if its resources are
carefully developed.
The name of the organization will
probably be "The Prospecting Associa-
tion of Utah." and one unit would be
given to any person subscribing $50
to the fund in ten monthly install
ments. Any mining claims discovered
would be shared according to the
amount of stock held.
Governor Charles Maboy of Utah
is among the many prominent citizens
interested in the venture.
Prospecting. while not exactly q
lost art, has become one in which few
men are now active. Nowadays it is
almost impossible for prospector to
get grub stake" whereas, in the
mining boom days of Utah. almost any
business man, broker or mining oper-
ator would willingly put up the money.
