highest in Utah's history. It was for
the Allen clip of Cotswool, one of the
best lot in the state. Generally the
price has ranged from 26 to 81 cents,
but some local growers are holding
out for higher prices.
The dealer who bought the spring
lambs stated that one reason for high
prices was the great demands by the
allies for spring lamb pelts with
which to make warm coats for their
soldiers The pelts are made into
coats without having the wool shear

AUTO YOUTHS
wv ''" ARE FINED

Judge Hunter under a charge OF
malicious mischief fined Lester Chip
man 1876 and Henry Johnson $25. for
their participation with young Burn
Harrington in taking the Chapman
sisters auto two weeks ago II now
appears that these two youths were
equally guilty with Harrington, the
youngest member OF the trio, in taxi
ing the auto from the Chapman gar
age. and that all three made the trip
to Salt Lake where the auto was re-
covered after ride Of 300 miles.
Just before going to press last week,
the city marshal was asked whether
any one besides young Harrington
had been officially connected with the
case and his answer was no" This
week. after the cases had been fin
ally disposed of. he was again asked
what the fines were and for some
reason peculiar to himself he refus-
ed TO give the information to the
newspaper. For the same reason. the
paper is unable to learn whether he
still uses the rule of standing home
youths under his measuring rod,
while he takes down Q written des-
ription Of their weight, name. age,
color of hair. color of eyes, etc. to

Extravaganza" Nine Petrova's
latest offering on the Metro program,
teaches a mighty lesson. In the guise
of fascinating story, one of the
most interesting in which the noted
star has ever appeared, it is power
full preachment against the greatest
sin of the age, extravaganza, living
beyond ones means. The story is one
of the strongest that has ever come
from the pen of that gifted writer,
Aaron Hoffman. Walter c. Clifton

directed by that able member of the

joyed in the motion picture world. Its
various phases express her many
sided nature more truly than has any
part she has heretofore been called
upon to play. The rich gowns, lus-
trous jewels and sumptuous surround
ings of the first part of the story are
essentially becoming to her exotic
type of beauty. There is probably
no one else to whom luxury seems a
more natural setting. In the second
part of the story the soul of the wo-
man herself shines through. Adver
sity brings out the best in Norma
Russell, and Nine. PetrOva's splendid
mentality takes full advantage of this
fact. The artist lends to the charac

effect is unique.
