Increased prices resulted, largely from reduced surpluses and short crops occasioned by drouth conditions, which restricted production more in other agricultural sections of the United States than In this district. Marketing agreements of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration also helped growers to receive better prices during the season. Ranges and livestock were In poorer condition than at any time In recent years, but returns to livestock producers were augmented by government purchases of animals d in areas. Following considerable rehabilitation in the last three quarters of 1933, the position of Twelfth District banks was strengthened further throughout 1934 by increased banking reserves, greater liquidity of assets, and federal insurance of deposits. These conditions were brought about predominantly by policies of the federal government. Treasury disbursements in this area became increasingly large during the year, exceeding collections by a record amount Mint purchases of a greatly expanded local output of gold and silver at the higher prices provided for by national legislation contributed appreciably to the funds available to the Twelfth District. Most of the funds received from these sources was used to buy securities in national markets or to settle other financial and commercial balances with other districts, but a substantial amount was retained as banking reserves. Reserves of district member banks in excess of legal requirements were larger than ever before, and Interest charges to local borrowers were reduced. There was very little change in the amount of bank loans, but investment holdings, principally in United States securities, expanded to record levels. The Increased extension of bank credit through local purchases of securities by banks and the inflow of treasury funds resulted iu a large expansion of bank deposits. Both time and net demand deposits of member banks increased sharply throughout 1934 and at the end of the year total deposits were the highest since 1931. Available measures of industry and trade Improved considerably during December and in nearly all cases were higher than a year earlier. Output of lumber, petroleum, and electric power tended upward slightly, after seasonal adjustment. Employment was maintained at the relatively high level of other recent months. Department store sales expanded more than seasonally in all reporting cities, except San Francisco where a substantial increase had taken place in November. Freight carloadings did not decline by the usual large amount in December, and this banks seasonally adjusted Index advanced. Automobile sales and wholesale trade changed little, after allowance for seasonal factors. Building permits issued and contract awards for construction held up somewhat better than usual for the drouth-affecte- month of December, 1934. A large return of currency from circulation in late December and the first half of January combined with by the continued disbursementsexcess of United States Treasury in local collections to increase reserves of district banks to new record levels. These changes also added further to individual deposits and to excess reserves of member banks.

Story of Scouting In L. D. S. Church One of Progress The Y. Exotic Night in India" Marks Its 100th Anniversary of Tea I. A. was organized by Junius F. Wells the direction of President Brigham Young. Its purpose was to provide leisure time activities, particularly along spiritual and cultural lines, for the young men of the church. Later, athletics were made a prominent part of the program. As news of the organization of the Boy Scouts of England in 1909 and the Boy Scouts of America in 1910 was received by our church leaders, the Scout idea was investigated by the athletic committee of the Y. M. M. I. A. and in the summer of 1911 the Scout movement was officially recognized iu this association. Scouting, with its spiritual background and ideals, appealed to June under 10, M. M. 1875, our church leaders as an excellent activity program for its boys. Even before that time, some enterprising boy leaders in various parts of the church had organized troops along lines recommended by the Boy Scouts of America. On November 29, 1911, on motion of President Anthony W. Ivins, then a member of the General Shperintendency of the Y. M. M. I. A., the M. I. A. Scouts were officially organized by the General Board. It was provided that all classes of boys from 12 to 18 years of age should thereafter be known by that name. (See Improvement Era for January, 1912, Volume 15.) From that time Scouting moved forward in the church very rapidly. In the Improvement Era for March, 1912, Volume 15, was printed the first statement of the purposes and plans of the M. I. A. Scout movement. This laid the foundation for Scout precedure in the M. I. A. It provided that Scout meetings should be held for thirty minutes immediately preceding or following the regular M. I. A. meeting on Tuesday nighits. In this statement reference was made to the handbook of the Boy Scouts of America with appreciation for the splendid idea aud information contained, and recommendations that the book be secured and used by M. I. A. leaders. Dr. John H.. Taylor, who had previously been appointed athletic director of the Y. M. M. I. A., was given definite responsibility for promoting Scout work in the stakes and wards under the direction of the athletic committee which included Lyman R. Martineau, chairman; Hy-ruM. Smith, Oscar A. Kirkham, B. F. Grant, B. S. Hinckley, and John H. Taylor. At the June conference of 1913, on Saturday afternoon, June 7th, an M. I. A. day celebration was held at Wandamere and the program was devoted entirely to Scout activities. This was the first general Scout m gathering in the church. The first lessons for the M. I. A. Scouts were published in The Improvement Era for January, 1913, Volume 16. Twelve lessons were included covering such subjects as the Fundamentals of Scouting, Organization, Leadership, etc., tying of knots, troop drilling following the United States Infantry regulations for the purpose of obtaining discipline and efficiency in moving the troop as a the body bandaging and first-aistory of the flag, physical development, stars, compass, etc. In May, 1913, the M. I. A. Scouts, upon invitation from the National Council, affiliated with and became a part of the Boy Scouts of America. The official action of the executive board of the National Council was taken May 2, 1913, at which time the General Board of Y. M. M. I. A. was issued a charter covering the entire church and Dr. John H. Taylor was given a special commission as representative of the National Council in charge of all M. I. A. Scouts. At the same time, Oscar A. Kirkham was made deputy commksloner. The national charter of the M. I. A. Scouts of the Boy Scouts of America was Issued May 21, 1913, which becomes the official date of entry of the M. I. A. Scouts into the national organization. "This arrangement continued until 1919, when local councils were organized in Salt Lake City and other sections, Oscar A. Kirkham becoming the first Scout executive of the Salt Lake Council and later associate regional executive of the twelfth region which includes Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. He also became affiliated with the regional office of region eleven in order that he might have contact with L. D. S. Scouts particularly in Idaho. There are approximately 24,000 Boy Scouts in the church In 1934 which Includes the Vanguards, who are Senior Scouts. There are approximately 7,000 Vanguards. The Vanguard movement was inaugurated in 1928 and Is now developing rapidly into an aggressive older boy movement among the Scouts of the church. It has been approved by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of d, America. L. D. S. Scouts are now organized in every stake In the church and in practically all of the missions. They are located in twenty-tw- o different countries. The record of L. D. S. Scouts in membership and advancement is second to none among similar religious groups in the world. Scouting continued under Y. M. M. I. A., its sole sponsor, until 1928. During this year it was named as the activity program for the Deacons and Teachers of the lesser Priesthood of the church to come to the boys of the church of Deacons and Teachers ages, through the Y. M. M. I. A., an auxiliary and aid to the Priesthood. The Y. M. M. I. A. is the Priesthood functioning in the field of activity. Scouting therefore, is the activity program for Deacons and Teachers in the church and is the program for the junior departments of the Y. M. M. I. A. The Scoutmaster and assistant j Scoutmasters are officers in the ward i Mutual Improvement Association.1 TT was a happy coincidence that the Geographic Players should have chosen as their opening performance of the season a series of entertaining features dedicated to India, when this year marks the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of tea in this land of a hundred religions. The Geographic Players is a unique organization, founded and directed by Mabel Hazlett Keep, which dedicates itself to taking audiences around the world by means of a series of nights spent in different countries. Entitled A Night in India, the entertainment was given under the patronage of Sir Gerald Campbell, consul-generfor Great Britain in New York, before a distinguished assemblage of leaders in the social, professional and civic life of New tYork. Honors were divided between Ruth St. Denis, noted danseuse, for al They should conduct themselves as such and be subject to the rules, regulations and program of the M. I. A. On the other hand the ward officers of the M. I. A. should know that the Sco,ut troops and Scout leaders of the ward are a part of the M. I. A. program and should be considered as such. "The Scout department Is just as much a part of the M. I. A. organization as the M Men and should be so considered by the ward officers. The responsibility of the Scout and Vanguard departments is theirs. "In the stake, the same relationship and responsibilities are maintained. The district commissioners are stake officers and Scouting is the official department program for young men 12 to 16 years of age, her Nautch and other exotic Indian dances and Lowell Thomas, world traveler and commentator on world affairs, for his lecture and movie entitled Romantic India." Wasantha Wana Singh, In- -' dian artist, astrologer and musician, conducted a native string ensemble which supplied the Hindoo music that Completed the color and illusion of a Night in India. The program reached the climax' of its interest when Mr. Thomas told of and flashed on the screen in color, scenes of Darjeeling the land of tea, in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas. This section produces what many experts consider the choicest teas in the world.1 Which would indicate the worth of the old axiom, that, from the heights, come the height of good accom-Danyi- ng things.
