With potatoes being served as dessert in the cafeterias and the movie actresses wearing potato necklaces it's about time for the ordinary mortal to sit up and take notice. The hamburger and onion sandwich has become a luxury, and the hole-in-the-wall patron now takes the short order without the bulbous product.

According to a letter written to the board of supervisors, Italians from Los Angeles are cleaning Anaheim Bay of cockles. The letter states that every Saturday and Sunday the Italians descend upon the beds, and carry away all they can rake out. It is stated that the beds are being so badly depleted that it is only at very low tide that cockles can be had. There is a county ordinance that makes it a misdemeanor for any person to have over 25 pounds of cockles in his possession. The petitioners ask the supervisors to put an officer on the job and stop the devastation of the cockle beds. Under Sheriff man is investigating the theft of a hog last week from the Webber ranch in the Golden State tract. In case he finds it, there is a fine legal problem ahead for some one.

The movies afford lovable young couples fine opportunities to whisper sweet words of love into each other's ears, and while the lights are turned low the encircling of arms in tender embraces is hard to resist. The other evening a fond couple—while the silent drama depicted heated love scenes—intuitively drew closer, the lovelorn swain meanwhile putting a protecting arm about his fair inamorata. Thus they remained for quite a while, and presently their two little heads rested gently together, as affectionately as two turtle doves, and in silence they viewed the movie idol and his charmer exchange numerous hugs and kisses, which by the way, seems to be a prominent feature in most all movie photoplays. At the conclusion of the show the lights were switched on, people filed out and the two young lovers beat it for home.

HYSTERICAL BUYING STIMULATING PRICES F. A. Blake Says There is no Shortage Of Breadstuffs In Sight Hysterical buying up and hoarding of flour and other foodstuffs by those able to do it is unpatriotic, needless and senseless, according to F. A. Blake, secretary of the Olive Milling company, who said there is no need to worry over a threatened shortage of the wheat supply this year. “There seems to be some fear that there is not enough wheat to last until the new crop comes in,” said Mr. Blake, “but our reports don't show that any such catastrophe is about to fall us. The last government report on the wheat situation showed there is plenty of wheat to last during the coming summer until the new crop is ready. We can get the new wheat by the middle of August, and there is plenty to last for the remaining three and one-half months before that time. “Hysterical-buying of food is largely responsible for the high prices, and those who hoard food are the ones largely responsible for the present condition. Hysterical buying demoralizes the conditions for the wholesaler and jobber, and when they go to the producer the hysterics has reached him, too, and he won't sell. The best way to do is to go along in the usual fashion, buy your food as you need it—the same way you have been used to doing—and others will adjust themselves on a normal basis again.” FALKENSTEIN'S STORE NEWS Practically every day brings new merchandise to this store.

Just as the force of men at the sugar factory were preparing to quit work for the day at five o'clock Tuesday evening, Samuel Grover, one of the employees, on the new construction work, was almost instantly killed in an accident of a peculiar nature. Grover was standing on the ground floor when a workman on the second story laid down a dolly which rolled off the edge of the floor and fell into the pit twenty feet below, striking Grover on the head. The dolly was a wooden roller with an iron pin in either end, and weighed nearly twenty pounds. It went down endwise and one of the pins penetrated the man's skull to a depth of two inches. He lived twenty minutes after the accident, but never regained consciousness. Grover was formerly a clerk in the Heying grocery store. He gave up that position two or three months ago and went into the sugar factory.
