Show I THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH THE RICH COUNTY REAPER WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS : Entered as second class matter Feb. 8, 1929 at the Post Office, Randolph, Utah, under the Act Of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 Per Year in Advance. Wm. E. Marshall, Business Manager Layton Marshall, Editor and Proprietor General Grant first learned about golf in Scotland. His host took him out to the links for a demonstration, and placing the ball on the tee, took a mighty swing. The club hit the turf with a heavy thud, sending chunks of earth flying. The ball remained on the tee. Again the host took a nasty slice at the ball. Again it did not budge. Grant watched the exhibition After the sixth try, he quietly. turned to his perspiring host and commented: There seems to be a fair amount of exercise in the game, but I fail to see the use of the ball. POLITICS: Rising Star Allocate Steel to Brace Farm Machinery Output; Pare Power of OP A; Food Prices on Rise The political star of Gov. Earl Warren of California rose high and Harold Stassen of that of ex-Go- v. Minnesota dipped low following Re- publican primary elections in California and Nebraska. Warrens Republican presidential stock zoomed as the result of his sweeping victories in both the Republican and Democratic gubernatorial primaries while Stassens possibilities dimmed with Republican voters repudiation of Gov. Dwight Griswolds bid for the Nebraska GOP senatorial nomination with Stassens active backing. By building up popular endorsement of his administrative record, Warren is cleverly following the traditional political practice of ostensibly having the office seek the man. By assuming the leadership in a campaign to liberalize GOP domestic and foreign policy, Stassen, on the other hand, has put himself in the ticklish position of the man seeking the office.

Affirm n: ... . ... ur button-down-the-fro- nt st Monopoly By, unanimous vote, the Supreme court affirmed the existence of a monopoly in the tobacco industry on the unprecedented grounds that the practices and operations of the defendants were sufficient to establish their guilt without need for proving actual exclusion of competitors. Affected by the verdict were American Tobacco company (Lucky Strike), Liggett & Myers (Chesterfield), and R. J. Reynolds (Camel), the Big Three of the industry. Tracing the background of the industry since the American Tobacco trust was broken up in 1911, Justice Burton asserted that from 1913 the established Big Three a monopoly which grew until it controlled 70 per cent of cigarette production, 63 per cent of smoking tobacco and 44 per cent of chewing tobacco during the 1937-4- 1 period. In citing monopolistic tendencies, the court pointed out that the three companies maintained large reserves of tobacco to make them independent of the market in any one tobacco year; refused to purchase on markets unless all ' three were represented, and placed limitations and restrictions on market prices. During 1932. and 1933 Camels and actually sold at IickytoStrikes were loss throttle " competition, the court found.
