OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT? BACK in Springfield a wife declares that her hubsand, who is a carpenter, is so niggardly that both she and her daughter are obliged to wear the same hat. She says she does not mind this so much, but her man goes sporting around in his Sunday clothes while driving his gas hack, and she faces a hat shortage. CHILDREN, KEEP TO THE LEFT A PUBLIC official with a view to reducing traffic accidents in the vicinity of schools advises pupils to walk on the left-hand side of the highway facing traffic. It is said 600 children were killed in automobile accidents last year. It is declared that much of the hazard of pedestrian pupils compelled to walk to school over the highways could be eliminated by the adoption of his suggestion. Children walking on the right side of the highway are unable to see traffic approaching from behind and are often hit before they are aware of the presence of danger. An amendment to the motor vehicle act compelling all pedestrians to walk on the left side of the highways was considered at the last session of the legislature. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER The flip-flops off the municipal springboards in some of the towns round about since spring elections have been amusing, to say the least. One deposed officer in a county town declares he passed two bottles of raided joy water to a high official who says the potion cured his influenza. The relief was so instantaneous that it is said he received three more containers of the health restorer. The white mule, it is said, had been annexed from a bootlegger’s bungalow during a raid and, while it should have been ditched in the gutter, it is said to have gone down the gullet. However, if hooch will cure the flu, it is unfortunate this fact was not discovered several years ago. While the malady is losing its violent form—at least, its victims have been lessened during the past few years. There may be something to this panacea, as from all accounts a whale of a lot of it is being used, but you cannot cure dandruff by brushing your coat. he passed two bottles of raided joy water to a high official who says the potion cured his influenza.

SHOWING YOUR ASSETS MAN in a big town up the boulevard, when stooping over to pick up a nickel, lost a big fat wallet which he carried in his hip safety box. Fellows bending over should be careful, because they may reveal the hiding place of their pints and quarts. WHEAT AND THE CHAFF AN OFFICIAL representing one of the solid corporations in this state says he has sold thousands of dollars worth of the company stock and is never afraid to call around again and see if his customers want some more. Of course we won't mention the name of this company. The official says he has standing orders to take over any stock that an owner cares to negotiate, as there are times when a man needs ready cash and wants it in a hurry. This stock in question is gilt-edged, and many bankers are said to be willing at any time to loan money on it at its full face value. The stock, in other words, is good. This is refreshing news when one considers the many bad reports that are circulated about other concerns that are unsound and through which many hundreds of thousands of dollars of duped people have been lost. It is said that a sum ranging between ten and fifteen million dollars has been lost in the northern part of Orange county through people putting their money into worthless stock. When a man or woman desires to invest their money, they should thoroughly investigate the propositions offered them before buying. Many people have been reduced to poverty through the loss of their life savings by listening to the oily sayings of smooth stock salesmen. DOWN ON THE FARM IT IS said the time is ripe to give earnest consideration to the back-to-the-soil movement, and to the problem of interesting young people from congested cities to embrace farming as a profitable career furnishing economic security and more satisfactory living conditions. It is believed that the only solution to over-population in urban centers is through a return to the farm. A conference has been specially called to consider the best means of interesting young men and women from cities to adopt scientific agriculture as a profession. The conference has received the hearty indorsement of President Coolidge, and will be attended by several hundred of the leading educators of the country. The governors of thirty-five states, or their representatives, special delegates of the mayors of twenty-five of the largest cities in the country, agricultural experts and heads of agriculture institutions will be present at the meeting to be held in New York. Among subjects to be discussed at the conference will be the new opportunities afforded city boys and girls on the farm, the increased educational and recreational possibilities, the problems of the agricultural school, and the ways in which women will profit from a special agricultural education. tific agriculture as a profession.

TEARS AND CHEERS A PICTURE recently released by a prominent movie actor has created quite a bit of comment, not to mention acrimonious criticism. Along towards the end of the supposed-to-be-funny narrative, a crowd of cronies, who dressed up to bein at a wedding, all go gloriously drunk, figuratively speaking, of course, and after a lot of helter-skeltering around, failed to attend the matrimonial nuptials after all. Just why this was portrayed is past finding out. Besides, this country is trying to stamp out likker. ALL NOT GOLD THAT GLITTERS BEFORE people flock to a new "gold" field to get rich quick, they should pause and ponder. Reports are current that a number of men and women have been handed a gold brick in a recent flareup out on the desert. They have staked out claims and paid good money for something they cannot hold legally. "Gold" excitement springs up over night, but the animation soon wears off when there is nothing but a foundation of hot air. Salt on a T-bone is palatable, but when it is used for bait, it is not profitable unless you're hunting birds and get it on their tails. SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCH? A NUMBER of German officers and men from the Teutonic man-of-war, in a nearby port, paid a visit to Anaheim last week and visited the orange show and the displays. They were interested, and asked many questions in their native tongue, very few of them being able to converse in English. They were made to understand as much as possible, and all went away happy for having been present. ALL DEPENDS HOW YOU'RE RAISED AVISITOR at Indio a few weeks ago had a sort of feeling that the weather there during the good old summer time precluded the wearing of furs, and asked a native if it got hot when the sun got into good working condition. The original settler mopped his brow, smiled and replied, "Jes' a liddle bit." FIRST AID TO INJURED CO-EDS at the University of Chicago were given an unprecedented and unique opportunity to give first aid to varsity athletics today. They were asked to contribute silk stockings—stockings with runs in them, with tattered feet, rolled and unrolled, and the longer the better. A call has gone out for all sorts of silk hosiery, the sovereign remedy for athletic injuries. The trainer says adhesive platers cause the injured athletes much discomfort, and bandages are best held in place by filmy silk. However, the supply of silk stockings is running low. New silk hosiery is expensive and the boys hesitated to ask the co-eds for their partly worn hose. So the trainer is putting the problem up to the co-eds as a matter of school loyalty. He says any color will do, and pledges himself to keep secret the names of the donors. MAKING HAY WHILE SUN SHINES A BAND of gypsies down South quarrelled so heatedly over the naming of a son and heir to the leader of the gang that the christening ceremonies broke up in a rough-house. Police were called to quell the riot, and during the melee one of the cops had his pockets picked and lost a wallet containing his week's wages. ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN A PRINCE started something when he took a flop from off the hurricane deck of a cayuse when making the hurdles. This high and lofty tumbling has become contagious and has affected some of the movie queens. One feminine star has two spills to her credit, and while she has not been put out of commission, she better have a care, for the third tumble may be the fatal one. Some good riders become unhorsed at times, and the cowboy of the wide open spaces sometimes takes a summersault in trying to make a pet out of a wild pony. Uncle Reuben inclines to the idea that maybe when a screen star takes an equine header it may be for the purpose of getting her name in the paper, but it is a dangerous pastime and may place her in a position where her friends might have to say it with flowers. Yes, Sir ... Made to Order! To operate that 25 watt lamp on your screen porch for one minute while you are looking for something in the refrigerator costs 1/400 of a cent—far less than a match. Yet, to give you that light just when you want it, $250,000,000 has been invested—for you and half a million of your neighbors. Commercial electricity cannot be stored. It does not exist until you press the button. Then it is made, delivered and consumed, instantly. Your lamp has a complete connection with Big Creek and the current you use is made to order for you. Think of this the next time you see an electric lamp.
