Show Volume 6. Number 2. UTAH EGGS BRING PROMINENT MEN LARGE BONUS CALLEDBYDEATH Over $78,000 in bonuses, representing price premiums received in the sale of Utah's commercial eggs on eastern markets during the half year ending April 1, will soon be distributed to the 5,000 members of the Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperative association, it was announ.c ed recently by Clyde C. Edmonds, general manager. Individual poultrymen will participate in the bonuses in proportion to their respective production of eggs during this period. Payments will be made in capital stock of the association. Records show that the total premiums accruing from the marketiBg of Utah eggs during the past six months are over 50 per cent larger than those for any previous similar period. Last year the semi-annual bonus to members amounted to about $50,000. The premiums received for Utah eggs are virtually the marginal prices which the superior quality of the local product is able to command over and above the regular market price received by competing growers in other states. These premiums, since the inception of the Utah association in 1923, have eliminated the necessity of levying an assessment on members or scaling off a small portion of the market price of their eggs with which to provide capital for the development of the state organization. Better methods of grading and packing, a cleaner ii.Ild more wholesome product, together with efficient means of marketing, are cited as the princlpal reason why Utah eggs are not only superior in quality, ·but are also commanding a fitting premium in the sale price.

MOTHER'S DAY SERVICES AT COMMUNITY CHURCH You are invited to a special service in honor of "The best Mother who ever lived"-your mother, on next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The members of the Sunday school are bringing their mothers as special .guests. This is a day on wl:).ich we recall the memories of mothers who are gone and try to brighten the lives of those who remain. We are sure that the wish of every worthy mother is that her children attend church on this day and worship the Lord "in spirit and in truth." B. S. Aldrich says that, "If the faith of all the mothers could blossom to its full fruition, there would be no unsuccessful men in the land." Let us help to make this faith blossom by attending church in honor of motherhood. The evening church service is at 7:30 with a sermon on "Some Domestic Reinforcements for Motherhood." The song service will consist of mother's favorite hymns. The Epworth League meets on Tuesday evening at 7:30 with the first vice president in charge of the meeting.

Twenty-two scouts and their leaders enjoyed a profitable two days' outing and came back with many experiences to relate. · The troop has flag sets for sale, which consists of a 3 by 5 foot flag and staff with a bracket for the porch.
