OBSERVATIONS By Charles Kuchel. Local hunters complain that the present game law, regarding the killing of deer, is unsatisfactory, and from a sportsmanship viewpoint, gets a hunter in bad with the law, where there is no intention to break it. They refer particularly to the transportation of a carcass from an open district into a closed one. Of what avail is it to a man, living for instance in Orange county, to bag a deer in open territory, in an adjoining county? Under the present law all he can bring home is the horns. Of course, he has the alternative of devouring the whole carcass where it falls, but ordinarily no hunter possesses such a voracious appetite as to be qualified to put the whole deer under his belt. There is no good reason why a hunter, who gets his quarry in one district, should not be checked up and given a permit to carry his game home, should he reside in a section designated as being closed. He could then be debarred from hunting elsewhere during that season. After a hunter has compiled with the law, and happens to kill a buck, that is his personal property and he should be allowed to do with it as he pleases. If he did not have this privilege that would be infringing upon his constitutional rights. It is said the present law, designating certain sections in the state to be open, while others are closed, is for the reason that while the deer are raising young in one district, they have ceased to procreate in another. That is all very good, but any hunter who is a real sport, should certainly be entitled to the whole deer fo be carried to where he lives even though he lives in a closed area. A system of checking it would seem, would prevent any intention of the law's violation inside pocket, and drove off. After arriving home, he said to himself, since he had the stock he might as well have it recorded in his name, which he did, and then proceeded to forget it. A few weeks later he was surprised to get a letter from the oil company, saying that they had struck oil and his first dividend upon his stock amounted to $85.00, and a check for that amount was enclosed. The windfall. "Say, listen, it's a fright the way some newspapers play up this prize fight stuff," said a prominent member of the W. C. T. U., the other afterfool. "The idea of giving this class of the fistic gentry so much publicity is nauseous, to say the least," continued this lady who has ideals of better things. "That class of sport is brutal and the money spent for admission tickets goes into the hands of men who are unworthy, men who do not build up, but tear down. I would like to see more elevating subjects presented to the public, something worth emulating by people who have the good will of the community at heart, and for goodness sake give these cauliflower ears the soft pedal," voiced this good lady as she hurried up the street to do her daily shopping. A knockout. A writer in the Los Angeles Illustrated Daily News says: Picture concerns producing sea coast and marine stuff called for in scenes of that description report the rental charge of any sort of a sea-going boat all along the eastern coast as having gone sky-high in the last few months. The ever-increasing number of boats used in the bootlegging business have taken up most of the available supply, according to directors working in the east, with few boats open for the purpose of picture-making. These are held at nearly four times the rental they were a few years ago. One picture company operating around children but the big difference though that we pay the less paying him too, few years, and we're getting him more and mending our ways.

While such a venture no doubt would serve to show easterners what this section is capable of doing in citrus culture, it would be of no direct benefit to the orange grower. The men who raise oranges must devise better means of getting their fruit into the hands of consumers. They must eliminate the middleman—the man who gets the cream in many instances at certain periods of the shipping season, and leaving the skimmed milk for the man who raises the oranges. The brokers in the eastern cities are organized, and they stick together like glue. This cannot be said of the growers, for at present, only 80 percent of them belong to the associations. It is only through co-operation that the fruit raisers, or any other producer, can ever be able to successfully cope with the middlemen, who hang together on the receiving end of the business. People coming from the east and south, say oranges retail all the way from 85 cents to $1.25 a dozen. These prices are greatly at variance with the price received by the growers during the past six months. Farmers and producers of every commodity must exert their best efforts to get their wares into the hands of consumers by the most direct channel, and until they do so they will always be at the mercy of manipulators, whose insatiable greed will lead them scripture report the rental charge of any sort of a sea-going boat all along the eastern coast as having gone sky-high in the last few months.

Many boats are still used in fishing, but the greater number be rare supposedly doing business as rum runners and carriers of booze.

This way out. —)o( "Hey, young fellow, give me a lift," will you," came a voice from a deep ditch by the roadside where an auto had landed, after cutting a pigeon-wing up on the road to avoid a collision with another car. The dejected owner of the car in distress had tried everything to pull out under his own steam. The young man who was passing, was human, and he stopped and looked over the situation. Getting a tow-line he hooked onto the car in the trenches and giving his machine the gas, pulled the stranded one out onto the pavement. "Say, you're all right," said the man in trouble. "I haven't got any good money with me," he said, "but here is a bunch of oil stock—take it and keep it. I don't want it. Take the stock for helping me out of a tight place," concluded the man. "Naw, I don't want your old oil stock—much obliged; I might get in the same fix some day and you might come along and give me a hand," said the young man. But the other insisted and finally the young man put the stock into his approve the bond on map of tract No. 543.

WE PAY THE PIPER (By Ranger Bill.) "Remember that old story about the Pied Piper that got shet of all the rats, and then when the tight-wads wouldn't pay him took all the children away into the mountains, where they disappeared?

The big difference though in our case is that we pay the Piper. We've been paying him, too, for a good many years, and we're going to keep on paying him more and more if we don't mend our ways. "Did you ever stop to figure out what these forest fires are costing this good old Golden state? You haven't! Well, here's some high finance that ought to make you sit up and take notice. Mind you I'm only talking about the national forests that are managed by the federal government. In these forests in the ten years ending 'long about the last presidential election, we had more'n 10,500 fires that burned over some 1,313,000 acres—quite a tidy bit of land that to turn into blackened stumps and ashes. To put out these fires the forest service that I work for spent six hundred and eighty thousand good round silver dollars, plus something like a million and a half more for protection in the way of guards and look-out men, shovels, pumps and a heap of other stuff that you've got to have to fight fire. Then on top of all that you can add another $4,000,000 for timber damaged and destroyed, and that's letting you off cheap. Let's see, that makes a total of over six million dollars, all clear loss, or pretty nigh to $625,000 a year in and year out. That's our contribution to the Piper for fires in the national forests. If you counted finn all the timber and brush and grass fires in the rest of the state, I bet a million dollars a year wouldn't touch it. "But that aln't half the sad story of our plumb recklessness. You haven't figured in yet the damage these fires did to the grass the cattle and sheep eat on the range; or the burning of watersheds from which ranches and cities and all kinds of us common folks get our irrigating and drinking water, or the wild game that's' driven out of the mountains; and, lastly, and to me farmer, and that is what, after all, is being asked. Mr. Wallace realizes as every other politician does, that, according to precedent, the proper thing to do is to make a loud noise, promise much and trust that natural events will ease the situation before the farmer grows insistent for the keeping of promises. But neither Secretary Wallace nor President Coolidge is much inclined to the making of vain promises. That sort of politics is becoming unfashionable. The farmer surely must be fed up on promises even if he did so recently elect that enthusiastic promoter, Magnus Johnson, to the senate. Representative Sidney Anderson, of Minnesota, one time chairman of the committee investigating agriculture, was the last visitor from an agricultural region to see the president. He came away with the declaration that he will go before the tariff commission next week with a request that the tariff on wheat be increased 50 per cent. He thinks that might help and certainly it would cheer up the farmer, but government officials who know most about the facts have no great fair in it. While the price of wheat has been projected into politics with a loud noise, the fact is that only two concrete suggestions as to government action to help improve it have been made. One is this Anderson proposal for increased tariff, and the other is that railroad rates on agricultural products be reduced. The tariff commission has jurisdiction over one and the interstate commerce commission over the other, and both commissions have been constituted to leave them free from being influenced by sudden and perhaps hysterical demands with a political motive in the background. MAY TEST LAW School trustees in Orange county, who have been forced to hire adult drive school busses, as required by the motor vehicle law passed by the fast session of the state legislature, were in Fullerton Friday to discuss steps for the testing of the law in the state courts, or to decide upon ether steps by which relief may be secured. Principal Louis Plummer, of the Fullerton union high school, invited the trustees to gather and take up the subject. As the trustees gathered it was pointed out that in some cases school budgets have been seriously disturbed by the enactment of the law which puts an additional burden upon the shoulders of the trustees who make an endeavor to operate the schools at the highest point of educational efficiency under the tax allowed. According to the new law, no person under twenty-one years of age may drive a school bus while the age limit for drivers of motor transit vehicles is eighteen. It was expected that at least one county school would institute proceedings to test the case. NEGLECTS DEBTS TO WAGE WAR Italy owes the American taxpayers about two billion dollars, for the uze of which she is not paying a cent of interest, and for the repayment of which she shows no inclination to arrange. Meanwhile she showed no hesitancy in rushing into a war that might have added other billions to the list of Italianian indebtedness. Such is she code which governs the morals of Europe. STRICTLY AMERICAN The simplicity of the scene in which Calvin Coolidge took the oath of office is in accordance with the most impressive traditions of American history. The difference between a "born leader" and a cultivated one is that The tariff commission has jurisdiction over one and the interstate commerce commission over the other, and both commissions have been constituted to leave them free from being influenced by sudden and perhaps hysterical demands with a political motive in the background.

Perturbed politicians continue to arrive at Washington from the west quite out of breath in their rush to get at President Coolidge and urge him to "do something" about the price of wheat to satisfy the belligerent farmers of the wheat belt. A calm and sympathetic president who has been all over the situation time and time again gives them all a hearing, and then mildly asks for suggestions on how to proceed. Perturbed politicians continue to arrive at Washington from the west quite out of breath in their rush to get at President Coolidge and urge him to "do something" about the price of wheat to satisfy the belligerent farmers of the wheat belt. A calm and sympathetic president who has been all over the situation time and time again gives them all a hearing, and then mildly asks for suggestions as to precisely what the government can or should do to meet a situation where more wheat has been grown than the market will absorb. The stock reply is to advise calling a special session of congress. "To do what?" asks the president. And that checks the flow of eloquence. Scattered in various offices and hotel rooms about Washington are these politicians trying to think of something to answer adequately that little three-word question. At last Tuesday's meeting of the cabinet the secretary of agriculture, Mr. Wallace, gave a summarized report of farming conditions in the country but he had no suggestion to make as to a remedy to cure the ill of the wheat farmer. At the conclusion of the cabinet meeting it was announced that the secretary would prepare a more detailed report on American agriculture and outline a suggested policy to meet the situation, which probably would be ready by Friday. Friday has come and gone. Secretary Wallace is still wrestling with the subject. To be quite frank, he, with a very accurate knowledge of the facts, doesn't see what the government can or should do to put more money into the pockets of the wheat DODGE BROTHERS TOURING CAR —In city traffic or on the open road, this new touring car impresses you instantly with its exceptional riding comfort. —The seats are deeper and lower.
