According to present plans, accom-

laid to insure the safety and comfort
of the fans passing in the ramps under
the tracks and into the grandstand.

COTATI WINNER Will
BE SPEED WONDER

COTATI, July 29.-Above the roar
of racing motors will be proclaimed the
name of driver who has set new
world s record for the $50 mile dis
tance at the conclusion of the cham
pionship event over that distance to
take place on the wooden bowl here
Sunday, August 5. The driver who
places his car over the line at the
head of Il field of the fastest drivers
and racing cars in America will have
set a mark so far above the present
record that the entire country will mar
vel at the speed.
These are free predictions among
race enthusiasts who have gathered
here for the coming event, and esti-
mates have placed the average main
tanned by the winner throughout the
race at close to 120 miles an hour.
AS strong an entry list of drivers as
has ever been seen on American tracks
or on foreign speedways are to face
the starting flag of Fred Wagner, of
ficial starter for the event and veteran
on the track, and a battle between the
speed kings, such as never before has
been witnessed, will take place during
the time taken to cover the distance.
Rumor runs rife over the appearance
of several of the drivers, who have hot
ly contested the winning streak of
Jimmy Murphy, idol of the race fans,
and although Jimmy is confident that
his ear will carry him to victory, win
in this event Will be the cause for the
most daring driving feats on the part
of other drivers who have determined
to check his speedy flight to victory.
The greatest contest is expected to
take place between Murphy and Tom
my Milton, the 1921 champion and
looked upon by experts as one of the
headiest and most clever drivers on the
track, with the ability, well known, to
push the throttle of his car down to
the floorboards and hold it there in the
most severe of trials.
With none of the break of the sport
to help him on his course to victory
this year, Tommy has made a plucky
fight and declared today that he eX
pected to put over a first place finish
in this event if there is. one left in his
car Mechanics under his personal di-
rection, are going over every part of his
ear thoroughly and with the utmost
care to insure perfection.
Thousands are expected to witness
the coming championship event. Pres

DON'T GET MIXED I
ON BATTERY WIRES

Perhaps there are a few beginners
who have not yet met the disastrous
experience of burning out an audioG
tube. If there are such, this warning,
added to the cautions of many similar
articles in newspapers and radio mag
azines may save a five spot where il
could be put to much better use than
that of replacing a tube which at
present functions very satisfactorily.

"delivers from "a to 100 volts ac-

SELLS TIRES FROM
SERVICE TRUCK

r. T. Taylor, manager of the Provo
Implement & Hardware Co., distribu-
tors for Savage Tires and Tubes, has
adopted novel plan for selling to
farmers. This concern has Il. complete.
" equipped service truck which carries
representative stock of Savage tires
and tubes, small hand tools, oils, aud
other items necessary to the farmer.
: With this truck trips are made into
the farming territory and sales made
direct from their stock for whatever
the farmer requires. In eases where
they do not have just what is needed
in their truck, orders are taken at the
time and shipment made upon the re-
t,irn to Provo. In this way the farmer s
needs are filled for many articles
which he has been delaying the pur
chase of until his next trip to town.
This service helps to keep the money in
circulation in the locality, and also
tends to prevent rural motorists from
ordering goods Of doubtful quality
from mail order houses. This service
will be of special help to the farmer
at the season when the crop requires his
close attention to his business.
Whether the country motorist re-
uuires a Savage Cord for his truck or
touring car or pint of oil, or merely
wants some information regarding a
certain device OR accessory, the Saw
age distributor s field store is in a
position to give prompt service or make
quick delivery.

AUTO SALES PROVE
VALLEY PROSPEROUS

Sale of SO tractors from May Is to
date is claimed as the best record ever
made in the Imperial valley by one
company. Imperial valley farmers are
progressive. Nothing but the most
modern farm equipment will satisfy
their needs. They know that starting
with the cotton crop this fall, sid con
tinuing on through the various seasons
for an indefinite period the farmer of
the Imperial valley will enjoy prosper
ity.
In an interview, Mr.. w. O. Hinderks,
sales manager of Edgar Bros. Co., said:
"Our farm implement sales for the
past few weeks have Kept pace with
the tractor sales. We believe the val
ley is on the verge of one of its great

.HlKERS ON HIGHWAYS
KEEP TO LEFT

Hikers on state highways have been
commanded to "keep to the left.
While vehicular traffic "kccps to
the right the new rule has been made
necessary because of the heavy high
on the highway who keep to the right
have a constant stream of machines
coming up behind them. They are un-
able to see these machines without
turning around, which they seldom do,
and as a consequence if any machine
were suddenly forced off the road, or
had an accident, injury to the hikers
could not be avoided.
On the other hand,sif the pedestrian
walking ON the highway keeps to the
left, he will walk with his face to the
oncoming machines. Thus he is able to
see what is going on, to get out of the
way in time of danger, and to assure
the motorist that he is not suddenly
going to walk out in front of the
machine because he hasn t seen it. Ac-
cidents, it is believed, will be greatly
reduced by the new system.
" Keeping to the right by pedestrians
on the highway is largely matter of
habit, it is declared, and it is much
more convenient and enjoyable for the
pedestrian to keep to the left and not
have the feeling that he should look
behind all the time to see if the driver
of machine is going to run him down.

 Marie DreSsler plays opposite Charlie Chaplin, and tho two consti- tute a rare team of fun-makers. His marvellous right-footed skid-and it seems to make no difference whether he has under him rough highway or parlor floor-is just as funny in the last reel
 Mabel Normand is the third prin- cipal in the large cast. She has the role of the unsuccossful rival for Charlie's hand.
 "Tillie's Punctured Romance" is q side-splitting comedy with a million laughs-and an appeal for every man, woman and child.

Dr. Peet ha; long been one of the chief arepre- sentatives of American missionary in terests in Turkey.
 Rear Admiral Mark Bristol, Ameri- can High Commissioner, is honorary chairm2n of the society.
 In an inaugural address, he ex- pressed the hope that this movement marked the beginning of an effort that might result in great good in this part of the world. He said that the association would be dedicated to a study of the art of cultivating friendly relations, social, religious, commercial and political between in dividuals, communities and nations. It was a big task, he added.

water power plant second only to Niagara Falls and establishment of an industrial and agricultural area which will equal any in America.
 Secondly, Muscle Shoals means op- eration in peace time Of fertilizer plant that may revolutionize farming in the South and East.
 Third in importance will be the long sought opening for navigation of the Tennessee River, connecting the Southeast with Mississippi Valley navigation system.
 Fourth is the national security af forded by MuscleA Shoals in war. The nitrate plant usef for fertilizer could be converted in three weeks to the most gigantic plant for the manu- facture of explosives on the globe.
 If Henry Ford fails to obtain Muscle Shoals there is of course the possibility of the government re- sum!ng it's construction and opera tion.
 Should Ford's offer finally be ac- cepted Thomas A. Edison will act in an advisory capacity in the operation of the plant.

EASY TO DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage Tea
 and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, becomes beautifully darkencd glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dls- grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attrac- tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger

hastily needed an immense explosive manufacturing plant were efforts for he development of Muscle Shoa Is successful. Quickly the government appropriated $20,o00,000 for construc- on of dam across the Tennessee River ct Muscle Shoals. This is now 5ncwn as Wilson dam. It was to furnish power for great nitrate Dlart for manufacturing explosives. Last June, with the dam one-third work on it ceased.
 For the location of this plan the government secured reservation of i,700 acres. Then began building of from Florence, the most costly of the governments undertakings. at Muscle Shoals. This plant cost approxi mately $75,00O.000 It extends over 2.200 acres. No. has capacity of 300 tons of ammonium nitrate a day.
 Spend $i1o,ooo,o0o
 The government expended total 3f approximately $110,000,0 900 on the sntre Muscle Shoals project. In gestigation of the entire undertaking has as yet failed to mention graft pr misuse of government funds. Last June, excepting for a force of 175 nen guarding the propery, the gov arnment ceased interest in Muscle Shoals. It was closed. This is the status of Muscle Shoals today.
 Realization of the immense possl' bilities of the plan when finally con 9tructed has led to several offers to the government for the property None of these. excepting that Of Henry Ford. has been of nature sufficiently businesslike to interest the Wsf Department
 Ford has offered to buy the nitrate plants for s5,000.OO0; to pay the in terest on nearly $30,O00,O00 in prop. erty and amortize the debt for 100 years. He further offers to lease Wilson Dam and Dam No. 3 on com pletion for the manufacture of fertil' lzers for 100 years. Ford's proposi- ton is based on the estimate of his engineers that remaining work will cost S42. .000.O00 Army engineers say this cost would be $53,000,000.
 It is this difference of $11.00O,0 900 that is causing Secretary Weeks to delay action. As matters stand. Ford must increase his offer or Congress must approve a compromise deal.
