Large Offerings But of Poor
Quality and Reflected
In Price

Sales continue heavy on the Hen

ed officially today as showing $685.
618 pounds sold for $60149.56. at an
average price of $16.77 per hundred

The decline in the average was
declared due to the inferior types of
tobacco predominating on the sale,
and not to a drop in standard prices
for given qualities.
With Wednesdays sale, the local
market was right at the 100000
pound total for the season. and to-

efficiency. 1t served well enough when
people expected little from a motor. but
as time went on there was need for
something more accurate.
This took the form of adding two
more cycles. Rather. engineers decided
to give each function a cycle of its
own. Thus We now have the suction
stroke when the piston is going down
and drawing in fresh gas vapor Next.
on its upstroke, We have a compression
cycle. This third cycle is a power
stroke. The fourth attends to the ex-
hausting of the burned gas. Thus the
pistons drive on only every other down.
ward stroke.
There are some advantages in the
two-cycle arrangement, however, and
this would not be a complete account
of the subject without a statement to
the effect that engineers are always
working on some two-cycle motor that
may get around the usual difficulties.
Few woman drivers understand that
the clutch pedal should be let up gently,
SO that the clutch plates can engage
smoothly. find much Of the difficulty
IN due to drivers not knowing at just
what position Of the clutch pedal the
clutch plates actually start to engage
Here's way to tell:
Press the clutch pedal to the floor
with the motor running Slowly let up
the pedal and at the same time feel
your way into low gear without actually
meshing the gears. You will note a
point at which you can just hear the
gears catching against each other It
will show you the exact position of the
pedal to correspond with the start of
the clutch plates engagement.

REPEAL DISCUSSION
is SWEEPING UTAH
Subject on Every Tongue Despite
Necessity of State Constitu-
tional Change.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July l.
Repeal OF the eighteenth amendment is
the most discussed subject in Utah. Ar
gluments for and against this action are
being heard in clubs. civic societies,
churches, patriotic organizations, in ho-
tel lobbies and on street corners. News
papers have explained just how and
when it can be accomplished If the vot-
ers SO decree Prohibitionist5 have
warned OF the dire consequences OF re-
peal and those who seek repeal have
waxed enthusiastic over the outlook.
But repeal alone will not end the long
drought in Utah. There must also be
an operation On the State constitution
and changes made in State laws. For
the Utah constitution forbids the manu-
fracture. sale or consumption OF any bev-
erage containing more than one-half Of
/ per cent alcohol. Despite this fact. a
brewery in Ogoen is even now manufac-
turing carloads of beer which it is
shipping to wet territory. This means
just over the State line in any direc-
tion..
Several months ago Salt Lake Post
No. 2 of the American Legion passed a
resolution calling upon the Governor to
convene the Legislature in special Ses-
sion for resubmitting the question of
prohibition. The chamber Of commerce
and many other organizations have
fallen in line. whether for or against
repeal, declaring it only fair that the
people should have chance to decide.
Some few outstanding prohibitionists
opposed the plan.
Gov. Henry H. Blood, who Is dry, has
called special session to convene July
10. However. the session is called to
decide matter of tax rates. The Gov
ernor in his call stated that, should the
Legislature decide it would like to re-
submit the question of prohibition to
the people, he would duly consider any
suggestion it might make. The Legisla-
ture, as shown by direct poll, will so
decide Whether it will submit COM
plete repeal Of the Utah amendment or
a modification OF it remains to be seen.
I am of the opinion that the resolu-
tion submitted will modify the amend
ment so that beer may be sold here.
The question as to when the vote will
be taken also Is to be decided. The
Legislature may set that date or the
Governor may set it for any time after
go days from the time the resolution is
adopted If the date is not so set, how
ever, the vote will be at the general elec-
ton to be held a year from next No
vember. If the question is put up to
the people this Fall. Utah will 60 wet.
