The Barton Bedtime Stories THE BIG MARSH IS A QUEER PLACE! By JOHN BARTON (Copyright, 1921, by The Associated Newspapers) MALTY KITTEN stared at Thunderpaws and Thunderpaws stared back at Malty Kitten. Then they both stared at the fish that lay between them. The skunk spoke first. "It's a fish, all right—but marsh fish seem just about as pretty as marsh manners." And by that he meant it wasn't pretty at all. They'd spoken to two of the Marsh-folk, and one of them had run away, while the other had run right at them—till he saw there would be two of them to fight. That was the mink who left this fish behind him. "Are you sure?" asked Malty, sniffing cautiously. "It hasn't any scales and it smells like an agleworm." "But it has fins," explained Thunderpaws. "And whiskers! A fish with whiskers! It has 'em, all the same. See here?" He raised the hairy-looking things that grew on the fish's mouth and chin with his paw. There was one sticking out by each eye, too, exactly as a cat wears them, but we call them barbels on a catfish. For a catfish is just what this was. Malty didn't know that, though. He'd never heard of them before. Thunderpaws had, of course, but he'd never seen one because they don't come into the nice fresh spring water of Dr. Muskrat's Pond. They'd rather grub about on a soft muddy bottom like you find in a marsh. Didn't he tease Malty? "Meet your namesake, Mr. Cat," said he. "They say he looks like you. Aren't you pleased to know what you look like?" Malty wasn't a bit pleased. He was disgusted. He said it was an insult to call such a looking thing as that after his family. But he felt better after he'd taken a taste of it. It was so rich and delicate he scraped its very bones with its raspy little tongue. "Oh-oh!" he breathed fatly, after a while. "The sun's getting up. We'd better be hustling along. Lucky thing we haven't seen anything of the foxes. Good reason why. The foxes had crept past them while they were eating, but the minute they scented cat on the wind they made off as fast as they could go. The one cat-fight they had when they killed Malty's mother was enough for them. Thunderpaws looked up and saw the queer, lumpy nests of the herons in the Heron's Roost, outlined against the sky, with the stilty-legged shapes of the birds who were perched below them. "Queerer and queerer!" he exclaimed. "Did you ever see such looking things? Let's go over there and see what they are." "Sure," agreed Malty. "I'll find out about them. Trees like that aren't any trick at all to climb." So off they set around the end of the water that washes the feet of the cat-tails! Next story—"Malty Kitten Makes an Awful Mistake."

This company is putting lumber on the ground for a rig and will begin operations soon. The Union Oil Company's San Juan Capistrano well, O'Nell No. 1, is drilling at 4120, the formation still continues a nice brown shale, but seems to carry no oil. The outlook for this test well is beginning to look a little doubtful. At 2780 feet the La Costa Oil Company drilling a wild cat well 35 miles north of San Diego claims to have struck the first real showing of oil in San Diego county. A. V. Hauschild, drilling superintendent of the company, stated that at 2780 a sufficient showing had been struck to warrant the setting of pipe. Gas pressure was strong enough to blow the water out of the bailer and coming to the top. Hauschild resents the information of the U.S. Geological Survey which states that the greater part of San Francisco.

Custis V. Edwards [MISSION GARAGE] —New Anabeim Dealer— Corner Center and Clementine ANAHEIM DAILY HERALD Diego County is overlaid with granite and that the possibilities for oil are small. He claims he will show things different soon. The Mission Valley Oil Enterprise, the first concern to use a rotary in San Diego county, is now drilling at 1000 feet and is making splendid progress. The Oceanside Oil Company has been compelled to slow its work on account of pipe trouble at 1700 feet. Faith in the future of the Richfield district has kept development work up steadily since the discovery well came in two years ago. The Amalgamated was one of the first companies to get into the field and still has four wells drilling. Breen No., 2 in the conglomerate at 1025, Page No. 1 in the same formation at 2725, Potter No. 2 stands cemented at 3200, and Bayha No. 1, a new well, is drilling at 400, clay. Starting off with the intention of going deeper if necessary the Dependable Oil Trust spudded in and started drilling a 20 inch hole. Located just across the road from the Petroleum-Midway's Richfield No. 2, the outlook for the Dependable is good. The Fullerton Oil Company's Anaheim Union No. 1 is now drilling at 4550. At this depth the formation is a nice brown sandy shale, and is showing more oil and gas than at any time since the well started drilling. The Fullerton expected to finish at 4200 or 4300, but did not get the rich sands found by the Standard on the Kraemer No. 2 property. Drilled to 4527 the General Petroleum Group 2-1 failed to produce oil on a production test made early in the week. Instead the well made salt water. It is the plan now to plug back and test out showings that were noted on the way down. Group 3-1 is at 2150 in sticky shale, and 4-4 is making hole in shale at 3000. Davis No. 1 came in 160 barrels gross, about 50 per cent of the production seems to be water. Hugo No. 1 continues to hold up at 500 barrels and is the wonder well of the Olinda group. Preparations are being made to redrill and deepen Stern No. 3, now at 3475. Stern No. 4 is producing 340 barrels and shows no sign of falling off. Man About Town By CHARLES KUCHEL The people of Anaheim and all their good friends have cause to feel proud and signally honored to have the president of the United States ready to converse with them over the transcontinental telephone system, extending greetings and wishing them well during the grand Valencia Orange show ready to blaze forth. There is only one thing that could have been better, and that is it would have been glorious to have the president here in person. But of course that would have been asking too much of him. Anyhow the people are happy and glad awaiting the president's call by wire to felicitate them upon this suspicious occasion. You bet, there's nothing too good for Anaheim. Frank Davis has been stepping high these days, all on account of receiving word from Seattle telling him that his grandson Ray Steele, aged 13 years, struck out 22 men in a ball game, pitching to an automatic umpire. The lad is said to have the make-up of a Walter Johnson. Frank says he does not intend to buy a rubber hat, although the cap he wears is quite flexible. A chip off the old block. During the ball game at Fullerton a few days ago between the local Elks' nine and Tom Mix's aggregation of stars, the famous movie idol pulled a thriller. Besides holding down the initial sack Tom is a bear at the bat. When the umpire called a strike on him during the game, which Tom insists went wild, he turned around and swung heavily with his right on the umbrella. Walter Neipp, one of the Standard Company employees at the Los Angeles street filling station, says reliable statistics place the amount of gasoline used by the touring public in January at one million gallons a day. This applied to Southern California alone, and it is estimated that a like amount of gasoline was used in the month of February. The weather during these months was more or less chilly, compared to the usual balmy air now enjoyed in this glorious Southland. Now that the atmosphere is more sublime Walter is trying to figure out the quantity of gas used daily. When everybody awheeling goes. Now that the city trustees have launched another bond issue for civic improvements it would be well for the citizens and taxpayers to back them up in their laudable undertaking. The trustees are really servants of the people, are reputable citizens, and are looking out for the city's welfare. The funds asked for will be expended so that the city may keep abreast of the times, and in realty all the improvements contemplated are necessary. Help yourself by helping them. This is baby show week and it behooves the managers of the commendable infant display to have a prize for each child as every mother is expecting her baby to win. Can't see how they can lose. A talented young woman, who has a reputation as a designer of parks, which extends into the confines of several states, made an interesting and instructive discourse on parks before the city council a few evenings. Instead the well made salt water. It is the plan now to plug back and test out showings that were noted on the way down. Group 3-1 is at 2150 in sticky shale, and 4-4 is making hole in shale at 3000. Davis No. 1 came in doing 160 barrels gross, about 50 per cent of the production seems to be water. Hugo No. 1 continues to hold up at 500 barrels and is the wonder well of the Olinda group. Preparations are being made to redrill and deepen Stern No. 3, now at 3475. Stern No. 4 is producing 340 barrels and shows no sign of falling off. The Harrington-Dumas Oil Company is not entirely satisfied with the way its No. 1 is acting and has decided to drill the deeper well. It will be necessary to get out some 4 inch pipe before the redrilling starts. Little difficulty is expected in getting the hole in shape. Drilling at 3285 in sandy brown shale the Placentia-Pacific Oil No. 1 is showing lots of gas. Drilling is going nicely. The Placentia Oil Company is still tilted up with a fishing job at 2850. However, some progress is being made and it is believed the hole will be cleared in a few days. The Petroleum Development Company redrilled, cleaned out and have Bradford No. 1 back producing at 500 barrels. The well was redrilled and cleaned out to 4117. Bradford No. 3 is showing oil in the shale at 4180. Bradford No. 4 is drilling in the conglomerate at 2700. No. 5 is testing water at 3911, and No. 3 on the Brandford Bros. lease has been remented at 3107. Community still stands cemented at 4342. Richfield No. 2 at 2900 is in shale and sand. Drilling on the Richfield-Yorba No. 2 is now at 3343, and a production string, 8 inch pipe is going in. With 200 feet of oil sand drilled through, a nice well is expected. Yarnell No. 9 is going ahead at 1850, and No. 10 is making hole in brown shale at 3000. Lumber is going on the ground for Isaacs No. 2. On the Krug property No. 1 is held up temporarily with a fishing job at 2760. No. 2 is drilling in shale at 2500. No. 3 at 1675 is in black shale and No. 5 just started shows 1000 feet of hole. No. 5 built, and No. 6 is getting the material on the ground for the rig. Consolidated No. 1 is fishing out lost tubing and Consolidated No. 2 is pumping, making a temporary production of 45 barrels. —During the ball game at Fullerton a few days ago between the local Elks' nine and Tom Mix's aggregation of stars, the famous movie idol pulled a thriller. Besides holding down the initial sack Tom is a bear at the bat. When the umpire called a strike on him during the game, which Tom insists went wild, he turned around and swung heavily with his right on theump's balcony. The latter hit the earth with a resounding thump, but bounced up and swung at Tom's dome. The latter ducked beautifully, and sent his left over at his adversary, but he aimed high and fanned the air. The puffing umpire again reached for Mix with a haymaker, but the latter bobbed his head again and escaped the deadly thrust. It was getting lively and the ball park cop was ready to jump in and march the combatants off to the cooler when Mix picked up the prespiring referee and swinging him high over his head let the man fall several feet away. But in falling the umpire—who must be an acrobat—lit facing Tom and arising quickly, stuck out his mit for a hand shake with Tom just as the policeman was about to take a hand himself. All this went for the usual admission fee, no war tax added, but the ball game, the boys say, was just ordinary. Tom is the gent who put mix in mixer. —The other morning when a young man had finished his breakfast at a local restaurant and had just paid his check to the cashier, he stood near the door momentarily waiting for some one. He was dressed in his working clothes and was ready to begin his day's work. A demure little waitress was busily engaged in serving a number of patrons their early morning meal, but she found time between orders to rush around the counter and over to where the young man stood, and for a brief moment there was a fond embrace and a loving kiss. "Goodbye, daddy," the little lady said, and they parted. The manly young man smiled and went on his way light hearted, while his helpmate resumed her duties, stepping lively to make up for the brief time lost, and all was well. And upon each other morning this little loving hooves the managers of the commendable infant display to have a prize for each child as every mother is expecting her baby to win. Can't see how they can lose. A talented young woman, who has a reputation as a designer of parks, which extends into the confines of several states, made an interesting and instructive discourse on parks before the city council a few evenings ago. The young lady made known her knowledge of how to perpetuate nature's gifts in the great outdoors, while making over a modern play ground for a busy world, in such a convincing manner, that the councillmen sat in profound mien, even though they had a large volume of important municipal affairs to attend to. They seemed so impressed with the lady's views of beautifying the landscape that they no doubt would have excluded all other demands for their attention and made the evening one especially devoted to the park question. Their visitors told how easy it was—by deftly arranging a tree ornamentation here and an astestic flower display there—to make the kitchen door of a rural abode just as inviting as the front portal. (Here a trustee looked up and said he considered his kitchen the best room in the house.) The young lady has made a life study of designing recreation playgrounds and possesses a technical knowledge along these lines that amply qualifies her to talk authoritatively upon the subject. Upon taking her leave it was plain to be seen that the trustees would not turn a stone to prevent this talented designer from securing the contract to plan the local park which is rounding into shape. Chivalrous councillmen. INDIANAPOLIS. — Albert Russell permitted thieves to loot his room four times without complaint. But on the fifth visit last night they took nearly everything he possessed and he said it was time something was done about it.

The manly young man smiled and went on his way light hearted, while his helpmate resumed her duties, stepping lively to make up for the brief time lost, and all was well.

Backs, Jr., has held the responsible position of secretary of the Anaheim Savings Loan and Building association for twenty-one years. He has seen the meritorious organization grow from an ambitious embryonic enterprise into one of the most solid and successful home building concerns in the state. This co-operative project has been instrumental in many ways in providing homes for men and women, and has been ever ready in providing ways and means for them to save money. This organization's methods of home building proves the fallacy of paying rent, because the small monthly sum exacted to become a member and stockholder amply provides for the erection of a home and makes a man independent. The person who pays rent now could easily obtain tais privilege at about half of what he now expends to live under another man's roof. The loans made by this organization last year amounted to $213,000, a loan averaging about $3,000. Seventy-three loans were made during the past year and 54 new residences have been built, while many older ones have been repaired. The association's total loans now amount to $350,000. So great is the demand for money in this prosperous organization for new home buildings that the directors have permitted thieves to loot his room four times without complaint. But on the fifth visit last night they took nearly everything he possessed and he said it was time something was done about it. The underlying cause of all wars is the shake-up that occurred at the Tower of Babel. GLASS OF SALTS CLEANS KIDNEYS If your Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat less meat.
