The current issue of the Mountain States Banker, a publication of wide circulation in the intermountain and west coast states, under the caption of And They Do It Right" has in part this to say: ' The bankers of Utah do it right. The recent convention of the Utah Bankers Association held at Provo, in point of num bers attending, character of program and entertainment waa probably the most successful gathering of the kind yet held by that organiza tion ' One would be unfair if he failed to pay special compliment to the Utah County Bankers Association and the people of Provo for the excellent way in which the delegates and guests were entertained while in this city. . The auto ride to Payson and back gave an impression .of the country that could not be secured in any other. way, and no one,who took, that ride will ever forget the richness and prosperity of that section. The banquet given at the Brigham Young University was a marvel The menu and the service was equal to that of any hotel in the land. y The musical, programs arranged for the banquet and for the opening of each session of the convention were high class, partaking of the character of that of skilled and professional performers. ... .Utah is a land rich in opportunities, abounding in great natural resources, and inhabited by people who are gracious, liberal, thrifty and loyal. The bankers of the state do not wear crepe on their sleeves ; they have met the financial situation openly and fairly, taken their losses with smiles and set their faces toward another era of prosperity. They aril not grieving because of things that have passed; their minds, are wholly on things that are to come The same spirit which 'is marked throughout the West as a whole, if injected in the people east of the Mississippi River, would dissolve the cloud of doubt and pessimism and the bright sun of good times and general pros', . perity would again shine.

In one instance called to our attention, a former resident of Provo, who still owns a house here, is unfurnished asking $40 a month for a five-roohouse. Still worse is a case that aroused indignation on the part of a stranger when he was unasked to pay $30 a month for a three-roofurnished house. We are reliably informed that and many of these houses are only that some of them are not equipped with an ordinary lock and key. Such instances show not only an individual greed, but an absolute disregard of any public spiritedness or interest in the welfare of our city. We have little doubt but that these houses at some time will remain vacant for a J-period that will reduce the annual income of the O landlord more than he would receive if he were BUILDING ON INCREASE to ask a reasonable rent from his tenants.

Last year II local leaders, advised by the home demonstration agent of the United States Department of Agriculture cooperating with the State agricultural college, made n study of textile standards and .of the durability and service of various pieces of equipment used in the average farm home that were available in the local markets. Groups of women in n number of communities made a study, of materials and articles needed in their homes. Then they pooled their or den and placed them with the local merchants or wholesale dealers. A total of SI per cent was saved on all purchases of supplies and house' ' hold equipment. As e result of this activity the merchants were Induced to cafrry e better grade of goods In order to meet the improved demands of the women. A better appreciation of the purchasing power of the dollar was developed In the women by their knowing what, how, when and where to buy. - . One local merchant stated that the standard of his own business had been raised fully 60 per cent by on the the more intelligent buying part of the women. : Life is too short for most of the long in Purchasing jUtah Women Succeed . . , ber.
