They were obtained. Yesterday Pres. Jesse W. Hoopes and General Manager Clyde C. Edmonds of the Utah Poultry Producers association were in town and made final arrangements with Thomas Waldron to rent, temporarily, his building in which business will be opened Monday, December 3. Before leaving town the above two gentlemen paid The Leader office a pleksant call and Mr. Edmonds left the following for publication: "The officers and directors of the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative association are deeply appreciative of the very fine word done by the chamber of commerce in Tremonton in seof the curing such a splendid sign-u- p poultrymen west of the Bear river. Thanks to their good work, we will commence operations on Monday, December 3. "All of the poultrymen north of Bear River City and west of the river to Malad, and north of Honeyville to Beaver Dam on the east side of the river will deliver their eggs to this plant. We anticipate a very marked increase in volume and fully expect to .move from one to two cars of eggs weekly. Feed in car lots will be provided for the producers in this section and the full line of service which the association provides for its members will be made available. "The decision to locate the plant at Tremonton was reached by the board of directors of the state association at its meeting on Saturday, November 24. We feel that all of the producers in the entire section will accept this decision cheerfully and that all will cooperate to the end of bringing this section to the front as a real leader in the poultry industry. "The entry of the association into new territory is sometimes regarded with fear and misgivings by some people, but wherever the association has set up a plant, prosperity has followed in its wake, and misgivings have changed to enthusiastic and confident support. "The business of the association will be in excess of $6,000,000.00 this year, and we are glad that this inland empire is preparing to claim its full share. "We confidently predict that within the next two years there will be from 1000 to 1500 cases of eggs handled through the Tremonton branch, and that the weekly checks to the producers will be from $15,000.00 to for eggs alone. Cooperation has done it in other sections of the state and cooperation can do it here. "We shall always consider it a distinct compliment for Mayor Walton, O. P. Bates, and all of the members of the chamber of commerce to take up the work of paving the way for a grading plant in Tremonton and we feel certain that the entire section will for many years reap the benefit of their unselfish efforts. "We pledge our sincerest efforts in helping to create new wealth and added prosperity to this section. "CLYDE C.

I. A. M men and Gleaner girls was a most successful party from a social as well as a financial standpoint. Considerable care and expense as well as a lot of hard work to prepare the hall for the occasion was done; floor lamps of different colors bedecked the corners of the hall while cobs of corn still in the shock were peeping from the husk behind every radiator, as if to view the merry crowd. Great leather and overstuffed rockers and lounges were tastefully placed under the balcony, while the fire flitted away in the grates. Add to this the long dainty colored of the scarfs, symbolical "gleaners" of old worn by the Gleaner girls and the green and gold insignia of the M men and you have a slight idea of the beauty and refinement of this party, which was a fitting introduction to the new hall. struction of the first unit of the Bear River Bay migratory bird refuge will be let this winter was expressed last week by D. H. Madsen, superintendent of the refuge, according to an interview in the Tribune. For the past three months Mr. Madsen and engineers of the biological survey, have been making detailed examination of the plans and specifications for converting the mouth of Bear river into a big marsh land for the resting and nesting of migratory wild fowl. With these plans completed, Mr. Madsen was to leave Monday for Washington, D. C, to lay the plans before the chief of the biological survey for approval. Mr. Madsen believes the department may be ready in thirty or forty-fiv- e days to advertise for bids for building the various features of the project The advertisements will be run for thirty days before the bids are opened.

J. West, registrar. Beginning courses in every department of instruction will be offered for the many new students who are expected to register at that time. In recent years the winter quarter has not begun until January, but this has limited the time for winter work and has held the quarter over till late in the' spring. The quarter will close on Friday, March 1. Many new courses are being given in the school of agriculture, especially beginning December 3. More than half of these courses are for students just beginning their college work, while the others are for more advanced students. The complete faculty of the school of agriculture will be available throughout the quarter and this makes possible a much more complete curriculum in this school. Other schools in which new courses will be given for students just beginning their college work are the school of commerce, the school of education, the school of art and science, the school of engineering, and the school of home economics. According to Dean West there is no handicap to a student just beginning his college work at the beginning of the winter quarter. The highest registration totol of the year is always reached at this period. Feed Grains Are Higher Contributor Gives Bits On Light Offerings; of History Connected Corn Prices Higher With West Wards The wheat market ruled generally steady with most milling grades in good demand during the week ending November 24, while feed grains were higher, principally as a result of light offerings, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. department of agricultural economics. Corn prices were higher early in the week but larger offerings toward the close as a result of more favorable weather for marketing checked the advance. Limited offerings of oats and barley were readily taken at steady prices. Farmers in the north central states were reported to be grinding large amounts of these grains for feed because of the relatively high prices of mill feeds. There were no important changes in the world market situation and Liverpool quotations for wheat for December delivery Held practically unchanged throughout the week. Prices of Canadian wheat declined, reflecting the record movement and stock in that country. No. 1 Manitoba closed November 23 at $1.19 a decline of 4 cents for the week. New Argentina wheat was being quoted in Liverpool at $1.33 per bushel, comfor pared with quotations of $1.33 U. S. No. 2 hard winter and $1.41 for No. 3 Manitoba. Trade estimates of European requirements were increased somewhat but stocks in commercial channels, as indicated by the world's visible supply figures, estimated November 1 at 424 million bushels, are the largest on record for the date with the exception of the war year 1918, when these stocks were reported at 490 million bushels. The 1918 stocks, however, included 6ome 80 million bushels in the southern hemisphere, principally in Australia. Stocks in these countries at present total only about 10 million bushels, so that it appears that stocks in the northern hemisphere are materially larger than in any previous year. According to the German agricultural consul, about 8 million bushels more wheat were available for sale in Germany October 15 than a year ago. Wheat: There was a very limited export demand for U. S. wheat during the week but domestic mill buying continued fairly active and prices held steady or were advanced slightly at the principal markets. Some improvement in flour demand strengthened the hard winter wheat market and local offerings of good "milling wheat were readily taken at Kansas City, where 12 protein No. 2 hard winter was quoted at 3 to 7. cents over the December price of $1.09; 12 was quoted 5 to 9 cents over and 13 protein 7 to 13 cents over the December price. There was also some outside buying of milling wheat but lower grades were dull. Prices of soft winter wheat held steady with offerings limited. No. 2 f oft red winter was quoted at St. Louis at compared with for No. 2 hard winter. Soft blending types of hard winter were in good demand at this market. Soft winter wheat prices were advanced 2 to 3 cents at Cincinnati, where the market was firm both for milling and feed wheat. No. 2 red was quoted at with No. 3 selling at $1.45-$1.4- 9, $1.43-$1.4- 5 No. 2 red winter was quoted at $1.45,4-$1.441- $1.21-$1.2- 2 $1.35-$1.3- 9. at Toledo 2. Spring wheat markets were less active than the winter wheat markets and, while offerings were not large, mill buyers generally reduced their bids toward the close of the week. 12 protein No. 1 dark northern was quoted at Minneapolis at 3 cents over the December price of $1.11, 13 cents over, and 14 cents over the December. No. 1 dark northern was quoted at Duluth at 3 to 23 cents over the Minneapolis December price and No. 1 northern at 1 to 20 cents over. Lake shipments were being hastened on old contracts because of an advance in lake freight rates, but only a few boats were available for loading and this retarded new business. The durum wheat market held practically unchanged, with satisfactory milling qualities in good demand. There was also a continued active demand for the better grades of red durum for feed purposes, which were in somewhat smaller supply. No. I amber durum or No. 1 mixed with satisfactory color for milling testing 12 protein was quoted at Minnecents over and at apolis at 0 Duluth at 0 cents over the Duluth 10-1- 4 18-2- 4 25-4- 15-2- December.

Miller, a pioneer of the Penrose section, sends us the following article anent the dedication last Sunday of the new ward chapel at that place and historical events leading up to that event Penrose, Utah, November 26, 1928. Dear Editor: Yesterday was a day in our community: Our ward chapel was dedicated by President Heber J. Grant, and, lest some have forgotten or don't know, I will give a little history of our part of the Bear River red-lett- static 6 In 1894 my brother, S. L. Miller, Christensen, and myself extended the canal to Connor springs, which cornered the Penrose district Tony Fanning operations commenced the following year. At this time Joseph M. Stokes was made presiding elder of the territory from the road running north and south one and one-ha- lf miles west of Tremonton and extending to Connor springs. Two years later Mr. Stokes was made bishop of the Roweville ward, cornering the district In 1900 James Nelson ve was made presiding elder of the Thatcher and Penrose disticts under Bishop Stokes. A year and a half later Mr. Nelson was made bishop of this latter district We carried on s - under his splendid leadership until 1911 when the two wards of Thatcher and. Penrose were organized, , Peter N. Pierce was made bishop of Penrose and Richard G. Watt was made bishop of Thatcher. Bishop Pierce presided for some six years, when Alma L. Wight was made bishop of the Penrose ward and he occupied the position for nearly three years, followed by Wm. M. Bickmore, who, after one and a half years, was followed in turn by Fred L. Peterson, our present bishop. The names, Roweville (after Wm. H. Rowe), Thatcher (after Moses Thatcher), and Penrose (after Charles W. Penrose), were given to us by John A. Compton; Roweville about 1896, Thatcher in 1899, and Penrose in 1900. We used our little school house for Sunday school and meetings until 1914, when we built our first meetinghouse, which bumed down on New Years day, "1927. We used one room of our new school house for meeting purposes until the completion of our new chapel this fall. We commenced the erection of our new building last spring and completed it this fall at a cost of $9350.00. It is the most complete building for a small ward that has been built n the church. The church architect drew the plans and so it is the finest there is in the way of construction. Aii Our former building was dedicated by President Charles W. Penrose and our new building was dedicated Sunday, as stated, by President Grant in a splendid service held at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Wa had over two hundred people present, including President Grant and his brother Fred, with the full stake presidency, the members' of the high council, and most of the bishoprics of the stake. President Grant, after dedicating the Tremonton chapel, came to Thatcher ward and held a meeting at six o'clock Sunday evening, with a crowded house greeting him, thus making the day an outstanding one for the Bear River stake. We have one of the finest little chapels in the church and we have a clean bunch of children in this ward-- not a boy using tobacco or liquor and we want visitors to our ward to come without the taint of liquor. We want all to come to our socials but we do not want our building desecrated and polluted and will not tolerate conduct leading to this condition. WM. M. MILLER (.Signed) small-chap- el Commercial Club Will Hold Annual Dinner Some two weeks ago it was announced through the columns of The Leder that the Commercial club was planning a big time in the near future. Now, we are informed by President Bates that there is to be a big luncheon and dance in the new L. D. S. hall December 6, and that a general invitation is extended to all to attend. That a good time is assured mav be judged by the fact that the club is sponsoring the affair, and Chef Otto has promised a rare menu to all who will be lucky enugh to be there. This club has reached out and has for its officials and members many prominent farmers of the county, and nothing can be more wholesome or beneficial to any cmmunity than to have men from every walk in life joined in a great organization for' the uplift and progress of the country in which they live. It is hoped by the club officers that many will avail themselves of this opportunity to- mingle together in this annual social. - steady but offerings were light and demand rather slow.
