The National Association of Food and Dairy Commissioners will meet In Salt Lake next year, anordlng to the statement of A. H. Jones, commission-i commission-i foi Illinois nnd the retiring president pres-ident of tho association The matter was casually discussed nt the recent convention In Portland but no definite action was taken, nnd final decision was left to a committee composed of President Pres-ident J, W, Halley of Oregon, H M Allen of Kentucky J. 12 niackbum of Ohio and cx-1'reslilent Jones. "I have favored the selection of Salt Lake from the first," said Commissioner Commission-er Jones jesterdny, "nnd since coming here nnd seeing vour city nnd Its people peo-ple I am more than ever convinced thnt we ought to meet here next ear Mr. Allen la of the same mind, nnd I believe be-lieve President Halley would be In fn-or fn-or of n western city, so there Is little lit-tle doubt the commissioners will come here next vcar if ihe people nf Utah want them The commlttco will meet In October to decide. WHY TIIKY LIKE SALT LAKE 'There nre several reasons why we regurd thlf as a good place to hold the convention. For one thing, the West takes more Interest In such meetings, meet-ings, as n rule, than tloea the East, any many of our eastern commissioners commission-ers would prefer to come out hero where they can romblne pleasure with business In seeing what Is perhaps the most Interesting part of the United htntes The convention Is a larger thing than many people suppose. Next year we expect thnt thlrt)-fle Slates will be represented, each having at least three delegates, tho State Commissioner, Commission-er, Assistant Commissioner nnd the 8tato Chemist. Besides there there nre alwas many others who accompany the party and there would be more than a hundred visitors Mr. Helner, the Utah Commissioner, has urged us to bring the next convention here, and there Is little doubt that we shall do so. HAVE rrtEPAUED HILL. "The reinvention nt Portland was the most successful we ever heltl. Thirty States were represented and n grent deal of Interest was shown The prime object of Ihe association nt present Is to get a national law that will set a uniform standard of purity for fool products, so that the various States may Incorporate the samo Into their statutes, and save the manufacturers and consumers a great deal of unnecessary unneces-sary trouble. Hon. John Hamilton. Commissioner from rennsjlvnnln, has framed a measure which we think fills the bill exactly, and the commissioners commission-ers will go to Washington the first Monday In December tn work for Its passage It provides that all food pro-ducts pro-ducts shall be labeled and stamped so that the consumer will know exactly what ho Is getting."
