He ncludes in his report a copy of the bill and urges that it be reenacted and that this time care be taken that it does not disap-pear before getting to the governor. Mr.

Smith finds that there 'is a prevalent tendency on the part of some manufacturers and dealers to indulge in false advertising in order' to push the sale of their goods, -Under the proposed law any person found guilty of falsely advertising articles of- food, drugs or other merchandise is subject to afine of not more than $299 or imprisonment in -the county jail for not more than six months, or both fine and im-prisonfent. In October, The ournal, having in mind the issuance of its quarter centenary number the current issue offered three prizes for the three best articles on thS possible needs and prospective development of Cache Valley and Logan City-during the coming twenty-five years, for the competition of such for ward-looking, far-seeing, or prophetic citizens as felt like entering the contest; one condition being that the forecasts should not be of wildly visionary nature, but rather well considered forecasts based upon past achievements, present accom- Elishments, and future proba-ilities as judged therefrom." A number of stories were submitted, from which the judges. Professors George B. Hendricks and N. Alvin Pedersen of the Agricultural College, and the Hon.

Section 1 of the indeterminate sentence act of 1913, providing for the imposition of indetermD riate sentences upon convicted criminals by' courts of the state, is constitutional, but Section 2 of tthe same act, which provides that a sentence for a definite time shall be construed as an indefinite sentence, is unconstitutional and void, 4 4 The opinion is rendered in tbo case of Sheldon C. Mutart against Warden Arthur Pratt of the state prison, an action' in which Mutart, who was sentenc ed to nine months for attempted robbery.was held ini the state prison for nearly two years and three months being released only a few days ago by the board of pardons, which terminated his sentence. Had the whole law been held unconstitutional some 200 prisoners now in the state prison under indeterminate sentence14 would have had to be released at once. But, under the ruling of the court, that portion of the law providing for the imposition of indeterminate sentences is valid, hence those serving time under indeterminate sentences wiHTiave to continue to serve until they are released by action of the. board of pardons, but any prisoners sentenced to definite terms since the indeterminate sentence act became operative, will have to be released when the definite term expires.
