J. Wheatley, extension economist at the Utah 8tate Agricultural col-)ege, col-)ege, who has just returned from 4 visit to a number of large eastern cities where he studied the marketing market-ing of meat Various meat wholesalers whole-salers reported very brisk demand for turkeys for the Easter season and commented on thia as a ratter, unusual un-usual condition, but Indicative of the unusual Interest of consumers In turkeya throughout the whole year. Dr. Wheatley stated that he had an opportunity to talk with many meat dealers of the eastern cities and found that a substantial number num-ber of them are familiar with Utah turkeys. Almost without exception they had some favorable remarks concerning the quality of turkeys received from this state. Nearly all of the wholesalers were of the opinion opin-ion that the turkey business was going to Increase substantially for the -next few years, due to the consumers con-sumers becoming more Interested In turkeys as compared with other meats.'",' .'.'.- Several of the largo chain stores last year experimented by selling half a turkey. This increased the sale of turkeya to small families who could not consume a large bird. At one of the east's most progressive progres-sive chain, stores, both turkeys and other poultry were being cut into pieces and placed In an attractive container ready for Immediate cook. Ing, Dr. Wheatley said. The chain store manager reported that this practice Increased their sales of poultry rather substantially, sinoe It had relieved the housewife of dressing the bird or 'waiting at the store for tt to be prepared.

Mrs. Jarvis' daughter, Miss Anna Jarvis, held the initial memorial service in Oraiton, West Virginia In 1908. Congress endorsed such a day for mothers and in 1913 passed an act designating the second Sunday in May. Woodrow Wilson In 1914 while president Issued the first proclamation proclama-tion for the event The Oraiton church was the first to officially observe Mother's Day. On the second Sunday in May, 1908, the first planned plan-ned services were held in the morning at the church with the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Harry O. Howard (now pastor at Manning-ton) Manning-ton) delivering the sermon; That afternoon, in the Wannamaker church in Philadelphia, the same type of service was held. Both services were sponsored by Miss Anna Jarvis in honor of her mother and the mothers of the world. The year previous, in 1907, Miss Jarvis had a number of her friends meet with her to commemorate the honor of her mother and from this meeting and the inspiration of her mother came the universally known day, Mother's Day. In 1913, after the movement had gained national prominence prom-inence with the aid of John Wannamaker, who had become ' interested in-terested in Miss Jarvis' plan for a national Mother's Day, Rep. Thomas Heflln of Alabama, introduced, a measure in congress creating a Mother's Day. ' . , . Then in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation procla-mation setting aside the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. M. L A.

His condition condi-tion is reported to be not serious, o ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Shall We Have Baseball? In my article last wee the writer called attention to the fact that recreation rec-reation has an Important place in our modern life, and that a community com-munity which provides healthy, wholesome recreation for its people peo-ple is classed as helng alive and progressive. Further, that we have plenty of material for a baseball team, and that the boys are willing and eager to give their time and energy en-ergy to this fine sport, but that some new suits are needed, and also funds with which to provide balls, bats, and to take care of incidental expenses that may arise. Last week's Citizen reported that the City Council had started the ball rolling by Appropriating $25. and referring the matter of the necessary baseball suits to the recreation rec-reation committee to see what can be done. This action is to be commended, com-mended, and it Is not my intention to Interfere with any arrangement that this committee may take. The writer, however, is pleased to offer a few suggestions for consideration. that the ball team may be properly equipped and financed. Tt is reported that some 12 new suits will' be needed at a cost of about 18.50 each, along with suffi cient funds to provide entrance in to the league, balls, bats, etc. Tt is proposed to fix the price of a sea son ticket at 12.00. The writer offers the following suggestions: 1. That 12 of our leading merchants mer-chants and business men contribute each one baseball suit with the name of the donor placed in bold letters on the suit, and that the same be charged by the donor to advertising expense. (Some of the larger firms may feel generous enough to contribute con-tribute a little more to help out- the general fund). Also that firms having hav-ing ball team members In then employ em-ploy allow them time off to participate partici-pate in games. 2. That cads member of the Lions club purchase at least one sea son ticket and that the club, through Its members, furnish the necessary transportation when the team is required to play out-of-town games. . .. . 2. That stakT'and' ward officers give their support to the movement by the purchase of season, tickets and assisting in. advertising the games. 4. That our fine high school band with its capable leader furnish us with music on special occasions, as their contribution to community baseball. 5. That the American Fork Citi-sen Citi-sen announce games, and continue its generous wrlteup of games played. 8. That all other leading citizens (not forgetting our Mayor and City Council) show their public spirit and their encouragement of good sport by the purchase of at least one season ticket). If the purchaser cannot find time to use the ticket himself, some member of the family may appreciate its use. If not, let him present it to some lover of clean, wholesome sport who perchance per-chance may not be financially able to buy a season ticket. With this kind of support we can have a ball team of which we may be proud. Why not have It? GEO. F. SHELLEY.
