Several suggestions for the betterment bet-terment of silver conditions in the state were presented by E. F. Nolan to the Milford Lions at their luncheon meeting yesterday noon. Acting on the suggestions of Mr. Nolan, the Lions voted to write the district governor of the club, Guy S. Richards at American Fork, and ask him to urge the Lions clubs of Utah to suggest that their members mem-bers demand silver dollars rather than paper from the banks and merchants with whom they trade. The local Lions pledged to assist in abolishing the use of paper dollars dol-lars in trade. That is, the local merchants will receive paper dollars dol-lars from their customers, but in giving out dollars in change will use only silver. In addition, the Lions agreed that each will buy 10 silver dollars at the bank and take these out of circulation for a year. The object is to force greater use of silver, increasing in-creasing the demand, and in so doing forcing the silver market up to a point where the Utah mines can open and operate at a profit. Another feature of the meeting was the reading of current events by Dr. Lloyd F. Kohler. Myron Lewis was appointed to read current cur-rent events at the next meeting. Leo D Epstein, a Los Angeles attorney, at-torney, was a guest at the meeting. Miss Lela Goodwin of Miners-ville Miners-ville is spending a few weeks at Summit, Utah.
