At Tuesday evenings meetin' of the Rotary club use of the Chamlier of Commerce as a meeting place where ideas may be exchanged for the mutual good of all merchants and to drive home the truth that service as well as profit must be considered in every sale were two of the plans stressed for the improvement of general busi- -. ness. The meeting was in charge of J. A. Coleman. It was combined with features appropriate to the remembrance and celebration of Armistice Day. "Improved business conditions have been brought alsiut as a result of taking the public into their confidence by merchants, was the statement of A. J. Lee, one of the principal shakers. "No one denies a merchant a reasonable amount of profit he is justly entitled to it. If lie conducts his affairs along ethical lines he has nothing to withhold from either his customers or his comjietitors. Rotary International has done much to foster this outlook not only in this country, but in all other civilized countries of the world as well. Walter E. Weist urged that the cooperation of merchants for their own good, as well as the good of the community, be brought about through association with a chamber of commerce. Ben J. Stein spoke in favor of a uniform dosing time for Price merchants. In the past it has been difficult for them to get brother and decide upon such a time, for the reason that patronage from the coal mining towns is often obtainable only in the evenings. Excerpts from a resolution pertainin' to Armistice Day, adopted by the American Legion at the national convention at Omaha this year, were read before the club by J. Perry Egan. Ths message for the day was: "A call to hallow the memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice; a eall to honor the valiant deeds that won, the day for democratic government; a call to stand vigilant over our birthright as a nation; a call to look toward the rising sun of that day when war, misery and hate shall be no more. New members initiated into the elub were Dr. R. S. Bmylie, R. I. Brock-ban- k and Earl Freebairn.

Mostly $14.50 per hundred pounder-ba- sis clean seed was being offered in Millard county and $13.00 to $14.00 out in the Uintah Basin. Growers, says a report to The Sun this week from government sources at Washington, D. C., are not inclined to let go at these figures.
