Along with this industry, Lehi produces from some of the finest flocks of chickens in the county thousands of eggs wnich are crated' and delivered to other cities. Last year over 80,000 chicks were shipped into Lehi oh one railroad alone. t was here that one of the first poultry poul-try cooperatives was organized and in turn sponsored the industry indus-try which means so much to our arear Lehi also lies very near to someT of the principal calcite, porcelain clay, onyx, travertine and other rock and mineral deposits of the richly" endowed state.

Our schools are found very closely no Alio paoncugcj car dealers have about a ' half million cars for sale. In addition, there are 400,000 new cars to be rationed off and no more for tfce duration. This means an actual - shortage of 1,700,000 automobiles, and, at a time when workers are placing a heavy demand for cars so they can reach their jobs in outlying defense plants. The beauty of the bicycle in war time, aside from its low cost, is the fact that you can make 150 of them with the amount of metal needed for the manufacture of one auto. But the big hitch la rationing. Production last year equalled the all-time record of 2,000,000 bikes sold in 1897. This year the industry in-dustry apparently is going to be allowed to turn out only 750,000 bicycles. They'll probably cost between $25 and $30 and be stripped of every bit of excess metal except the fenders,.
