For this reason Swift & Company has frequently been notified that a certain number of millions of pounds would be wanted at a certaih port within a few days. Swift & Company has often had shipments on the way to the seaboard within a few hours after the orders have been received, and believes that it has met with signal success in the filling of such rush orders. the taxpayer who means to the Internal revenue laws, j and honestly, the Bureau extends the j.iig hand.

The building has been staked and next Monday fifty men will begin work on the excavation with Mayor Sidney Gilchrist guiding the plow. The main building will be 51x92 feet, with a portico extending twenty-fivfeet to the front. It will be two stories high, with a full basement, and will cost approximately $40,000. It will be a real community center, primarily for those of soldier boy ages, bat a desirable place also for all ages. The upper floor will have a big gymnasium, with clubrooms, kitchen and Bhower baths attached. The ground floor will have an assembly room capable of seating 250 people, a reading room, offices for the city council, city recorder, city marshal, and a memorial room in which, will be placed relics brought home by the returned Boldiers, portraits of the four Lehi soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice, and a tablet on which will be engraved the names of the 214 volunteers. will contain a bowling - and hallbillard the heating alley, plant On all koors there will be adequate lavatory facilities. The committee has assurances from Secretary Lane of the gift of one of the captured German cannons. This will be place-e- d on the portico between the two entrances. The excavating and concrete work of the basement will all be by donation, as will also be much of the balance of the construction work. The city has an old pavilion that has almost sufficient lumber for the memorial building, and this will be torn down by donation. The balance of the necessary finances will be raised by taxes, advantage being taken of the bills now in the legislature and which will probably be enacted Into law. Lehi claims to be the first city in America to begin active work" on a memorial honoring the soldiers of the great world war. Lhst October W. A. Knight had an article In the local paper advocating the erection of a memorial building when the war was over, and as soon as the armistice was signed the city council too up Mr. Kni ght's idea. It now appears that the movement is spontaneous, as is evidenced from a letter recently received from Secretary Lane, heortily indorsing the idea. The letter was vfrltten to Sidney Gilchrist.

Box Elder Stake have received an inquiry from The First Presidency as to the advisability of holding quarterly conference In the Box Elder stake on the regular dates, Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th. The local authorities reported the health condition in the stake sufficiently cleared up to preclude any possibility of a recurrence of the influenza epidemic from the holding of the conference, so It is inferred that the regular program will be carried out. In keeping with the custom, the first meeting of the conference ou Saturday morning, will I egin at 10:30 oclock and will be a special council meeting of the Stake Presidency, High Council, ward Bishoprics and the presThe presidency of the idencies of the Various . priesthood quorums.. At 2 oclock In the afternoon, the monthly Stake Priesthood, Stake aud, ward Officers meeting will be held and on Sunday, three sessions of general conference meetings will be held. Because of the prevalence of the the last flu epidemic in December, quarterly conference for 1918 had to be postponed so it has been six months since a conference has been held in the Box Elder Stake. Just who the visitors will be, cannot be announced at this time, but the Stake Presidency hope that the people will get this early announcement and make their arrangements to be in attendence at all the . meetings.
