The Barton Bedtime Stories THUNDERPAWS SENDS A STRANGE MESSAGE By JOHN BARTON (Copyright, 1921, by The Associated Newspapers) THUNDERPAWS the Skunk was thinking and thinking hard. He was going to fix those wicked snakes who meant to bite either Malty Kitten or his map in their very own cabin. But he couldn't remember just how to go about it. Pretty soon he looked up and saw Malty waiting patiently for him to explain about the king he'd sent Killdeer to find. Much good did it do him to wait. "Where's that mouse I asked you to catch?" the skunk demanded. "I'm going to need it any time." And he meant it. The startled kitten stole off through the grass. Thunderpaws drummed his paws the way that made the Woodsfolk give him his name. But he wasn't playing; he was trying to remember a rhyme. "Empty Snailshells"* he exclaimed in disgust. "I wish my mother hadn't died when I was so young. She would have taught me all the skunk songs. How did that one go? Oh, well, the king will understand. But I hate to have him him think I'm ignorant." Then he looked out over the wide grassy field. Dozens of small brown birds were circling over it, every one with its bright eyes fixed on the ground. "Him," said he in a more satisfied voice, "Killdeer certainly keeps his word. He offered to help us. Now I believe he has even the hens from their nests.' If the king is on top of the earth they'll surely find him." He was still watching them when Malty mewed beside him: "Here's Sure enough he was. That 'feather whirl' was the signal Killdeer had told his family to give before they hung hovering to mark the spot. Thunderpaws Was Thinking, and Thinking Hard where the king moved. Killdeer himself shot out from the middle of the circling birds and lit in front of the furry-foots. "What next?" he asked, panting, for he'd been flying very hard in the hot sun. Thunder-paws tossed him the mouse's tail. "Carry that;" he ordered. "And when you drop it in front of the king say, "One who hunts the scale Sends you this tail." "Show him which way to come and then you're done—and well done, too!

He was still watching them when Malty mewed beside him: "Here's your whisktail. Thunderpaws, only it's a mighty little one." "All right. That makes no difference," murmured the skunk. Far, far away, over the edge of the Big Marsh a bird began to spin as if some one you couldn't see had hold of his pointy wing tip. "The king is found!" he exclaimed. Foley’s Friendly Fancies From the Pasadena Post IS BABY ASLEEP? When I used to come rompin' and skippin' inside, An' whistlin' and singin' from play; Ma'd hold up her finger an' smile as she tried To look solemn, an' then she 'ud say: "Sh! Willie, don't make so much 'isurbance an' noise, An' try a bit quiet to keep, It's so hard with such rompin' an' rollickin' boys To try to keep baby asleep." Today when I come in' a-singin' a song, Ma sat by the cradle an' cried, An' I knew there was somethin' or other 'twas wrong, An' to keep Jes' so still like, I tried, An' Ma never held up her finger or smiled, Jes' sat there to watch an' to weep, An' she whispered: "My baby! My dear little child!" An' I wondered—Is baby asleep? AUTO TOPS Seat Covers, Plate Glass, Quarter Curtains, Trimmings EARL FARRIS Phone 668 226 S.

Fullert Phone Anaheim 490 Phone Full SPECIAL PRIZES IN ORANGE SHOW HAVE NOW BEEN AWARDED The executive committee of the California Valencia Orange show announced the winners of the attendance prizes late yesterday. After careful scrutiny of the register, the Lois Rebekahs, No. 268, I. O. O. F., and Anaheim Kiwanis clubs are the winners, and as only one prize was offered, the committee found that both are entitled to honors, in this class, and have therefore added one cup to the list so that on next Tuesday or Wednesday, the presentation of these cups, duly inscribed, will be made. The Rebekahs turned out sixty-six persons on a membership of 185 and the Kiwanis club produced in person nearly seventy-five per cent of their recorded membership. An extra cup was awarded to the American Fruit Growers, Inc., for the best commercial park box of Valencias and the Hushman family of San Gabriel, which showed the most excellent line of citrus by-products was awarded a cup in lieu of their cash prize, at their own request. All together, twenty-one mementos of this kind were distributed at the show. In the hands of the Chamber of Commerce are three gold prizes awarded to Mrs. Christianson of Placentia for guessing the amount of soap sold by Wellum Manufacturing company, also the closest guess to the correct number of pounds and packages sold. This lady made a rough guess and won all three prizes, a circumstance rather novel in the contest business. If she will identify herself, and give the figures of her guesses, she will be presented with the gold and receipt will be taken from her and forwarded to the company awarding this substantial amount. Man About Town By CHARLES KUCHEL Boring for oil is an interesting study, and it keeps even the best geologists guessing at all times. An oil strata follows the soft formations of earth, entering crevices here and there, gradually seeking its level much the same as water. These stratas may be divided by only a few rods. Should one of these layers be penetrated oil flows to the top, while a hole sunk close by might produce nothing. In some quarters the opinion prevails that a lake of oil exists underground near here. According to experienced men this is preposterous. Many good wells are being brought in daily, but it is also true that many operators get what old-time oil drillers call a "duster." Local ultra-society circles are agog over the announcement of the prospective marriage of an elderly couple, a well known widower and a refined and estimable widow. Both have a host of friends ready to extend congratulations. Two hearts that beat as one. Now that the city has a fine park site neatly tucked away for future use, landscape artists come in twos and threes and camp upon the trail of the benign councilman. They tell him about the beauties to be acquired by dettily arranging the varied units for a park beautiful, and remind him that the contour of the several conjunctions may be very easily conserved so as to lend grace to the entire ensemble. They all talk glibly about the advisability of appealing to the tourist's eye, by the creation of inviting places, patterned after nature's plans, so that one may come occasion to travel over Walnut street encountered a string of S. P. freight cars blocking traffic on that thoroughfare. Some were content to sit in their autos and wait for the lifting of the embargo. They tarried for thirty-five minutes before the big iron horse came and pulled the cars away. One man who got caught in the jam, and being in a hurry to be on his way, pulled to one side, and made a detour to get across upon another paralleling street. When he arrived at that crossing he encountered more cars stubbornly holding the fort and he again pulled back and came to his first stopping place, thinking the road would then be clear. It so happened that the blockade still continued. He sat back good naturally, being of a religious turn of mind. soliloquizing how great the S. P. had grown to keep the dear public in subjection and suspense. He became resigned to his fate, believing that at any moment the cars would be whisked away. But not so, and he, too, patiently waited and for pastime admired the rising silvery moon. At last the train crew, probably becoming conscious of the fact that perhaps people might want to use that highway, woke up, after getting through with their switching at a nearby packing house, and came hurriedly and hooking onto the side door pullmans again went on their way. Pull out; pull out. A short while back a man who presides over the destinies of a hot dog cafeteria moved his shack between two suns upon a lot on a busy close in down town street. So far he has been monarch of all he surveys, because he eluded the lynxed eyed city manager who happened not to be about when the moving stunt was pulled off while the night shades were falling. The bungalow is one not calculated to add to the architectural beauty of the CITRUS EXPERTS ARE IN ORANGE COUNTY ON INVESTIGATION C. P. Earley, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, Redlands, is making an extensive investigation of the valencia situation in Orange county. He has visited the various packing houses associated with his organization in this vicinity and reports that conditions look very favorable. Mr. Earley is regarded as one of the men of vision in the citrus industry and his efforts to better the position of the grower have met with success. Geo. Van Buskirk, a member of the supply department force of the same organization, together with W. H. Blodget, Jr., field man, accompanied Mr. Earley on his trip through this district. OTTAWA, ONT.—Soldiers to the number of 25,500 have taken farms under the Soldiers’ Reestablishment act and the government has loaned them more than $108,000,000 to make a start toward prosperity. MONTREAL, Quebec—a train of French samples will make a tour of Canada next May, and in conjunction with it moving pictures depicting Frech scenery, architecture, art and history will be exhibited in 50 Canadian theaters on the tour. Within a short time the people of this city will be asked to vote upon a proposition to incur an indebtedness of $160,000, the funds to be used for municipal improvements. These betterments are needed, and must be acquired if the city is to continue to grow. The resultant growth of the city, through the extension of sewerage and water mains, in a few years will automatically pay for this outlay, because of the increase to the city’s assessable wealth. The voting of these bonds virtually means taking money from one hand and putting it into another. It is a progressive step forward, and judging from the tenor of the public mind there is no question but that the people look upon the bond issue with favor. The city’s present debt is small compared to its marginal assessed valuations, which figures are yearly increased as the city expands. Hundreds of new homes are being held in abeyance through a lack of the units now asked for, and the city owes it to itself to furnish them. But to do this the trustees must have these funds. Included in the call is $75,000 for erection of a new city hall. Individuals are progressive and erect nice buildings—why not the city? Keep up with the procession.

They all talk gibby about the advisability of appealing to the tourist’s eye, by the creation of inviting places, patterned after nature's plans, so that one may come and feast his eyes upon the varied outdoor attractions. All this is well, for it is a pleasure to be in this favored section enjoying the many advantages that abound here. The councilman usually places himself in a receptive mood, listens attentively, and hopes to see the time when all these things may become a reality. The landscape artists are a jolly bunch and are always welcome. Making two blades grow where only one grew before. Spring has certainly arrived in Santa Ana. With the cessation of the recent rains, the birds are twittering about in the trees and poets in and out of the county jail are yielding to temptation of verse. A letter arrived this morning at the office of Sheriff Jackson addressed thus: "To One Brave Woman," Dr. Sue Amack, "She defies medical tyranny—God bless her!" On the back of the envelope were the words: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead That when the judge his sentence read And hung his head, You'll find the real chiropractor pays no fine, Down with the medical hogs." W. Wignall, who is lounging in the county jail pending his trial on the charge of embezzling money from the First National Bank of Yorba Linda, delivered a manuscript to the anxiously awaiting world this morning.

Keep up with the procession. A short while ago a couple of enterprising agents, posing as internal revenue gaugers, visited a moonshine emporium up in Carbon canyon and relieved the man in charge of his season's vintage together with $300. Rumor has it that the illicit still has been turning out a regular brand of "white mule" that had the requisite wollop, and many knowing one shad made frequent trips over the beaten path to acquire jugs of the liquid that cheers and also inebriates. The recent visit of the "revenuers" has left the moonshine with a depleted stock, but it is whisprede that within a short time he will be able to supply his customers as of yore. Frisking the speakeasy. A well known orange grower who belongs to the association, as all wise growers should do, says some of the independents a few weeks back received "red ink" for their fruit after taking it east. It is estimated that 72 per cent of the orange growers in the state belong to the California association, and this percentage is gradually being increased. Just why a grower should stay out is not quite clear, and it is to his advantage to become a member of the co-operative selling institution. Were it not for these associations growers would be at the mercy of middelmen who would take the cream and give the producer the skimmed milk. Standing in their own light. Several evenings ago people who had You'll find the real chiropractor pays no fine, Down with the medical hogs." W. Wignall, who is lounging in the county jail pending his trial on the charge of embezzling money from the First National Bank of Yorba Linda, delivered a manuscript to the anxiously awaiting world this morning. A pencil picture of Judge Cox, surrounded by a number of "cops," who are searching a prisoner, is drawn on the top of the page. Beneath is the following poem: "I am weary and dejected, there is sorrow in my craw, Every hour I am inspected by the minions of the law. They inspect me when I'm going, they inspect men when I come, Seeing that I have not been stowing in my clothes illicit rum. They inspect my books and papers, and my ink and sealing wax, Making sure I play no capers with the well known income tax. Oh, they pinch me every morning and in court I stand in line, From Judge Cox I draw a warning, when I do not get a fine. There are laws in countless numbers, laws to govern you and me. Even when we are in slumber, we are busting two or three. Even when we yawn or whistle, we can hear a statute crack. It makes our whiskers bristle to be chased to jail and back. Many law books I am reading, but it's little law I know. I am pinched when I am speeding, I am pinched when going slow, And I shock the parish rector with the sizzling things I say, When the peelers and inspectors pinch me three times every day. I refuse to wear a muzzle and I call for a reform. For the laws are all a puzzle, and the inspectors are a swarm."
