Thieves Elude Dog, Take Prize Chickens John Pfenniger, rancher at Orangehorpe and Spadra roads, is wondering how chicken thieves eluded his prize watchdog one day last week to get into his chicken coops, where they made good their escape with two dozen choice egg-layers. Pfenniger was in the house when the chickens were stolen, but he heard no sound, and the ever-alert watchdog, too, was completely baffled.

Richfield Company Wins in Court Injunction Issued Against Service Station for Violating Contract A preliminary injunction just issued by Judge Clair S. Tappan of the superior court at Los Angeles, to favor the Richfield Oil company of California restraining Garland & Jones, Inc., from dispensing other Richfield gasoline and other petroleum products, excepting certain specified lubricating oils, will, it is believed, have considerable bearing on the present so-called "gasoline war," in that it legally upholds lease contracts made between marketing companies and independent dispensers of gasoline and other ordinary filling station products. Garland & Jones had leased to Richfield and then sub-leased back a service station at 4000 West Sixth street, fully equipped, under which lease it agreed to purchase from Richfield all gasoline, lubricating oils and greases sold or dispensed at the station, excepting certain specified lubricating oils. February 15, 1929, Richfield Oil company of California brought an action against Garland & Jones, Inc., in which it was claimed that the latter was selling gasoline and other petroleum products of the Wilshire Oil company in violation of the terms of the lease and agreement; seeking to obtain an injunction compelling their fulfillment. A temporary restraining order was issued by the court with a hearing on the order on February 21, following which Judge Tappan has issued a preliminary injunction, the effective portion of which reads as follows: "IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREEDED that said defendants, (Garland & Jones, Inc.) their servants, counselors, attorneys, solicitors and agents and all others acting in al der assistance of defendants, or either any of them, be restrained and enjoined from handling, selling or offering for sale upon the Bishop Burns Will Preach Sunday Night Anaheim is afforded an exceptional opportunity to hear one of the outstanding pulpit orators of the country next Sunday night at the White Temple Methodist Episcopal church. Bishop Burns of San Francisco is a scholar and man of commanding influence throughout the nation. Born and reared in Philadelphia and graduated from the leading institutions of the east, he was chosen by Henepin Avenue Minneapolis, Minn., as its pastor, and from that leading church of the northwest was elected Bishop In 1920. For four years he served as Bishop of the Helena Area (Montana) and since 1924 has been the inspiring leader of the San Francisco Area, which includes all of California, Novada, Arizona and Hawaii. He comes as the crowning event of the week's Fortieth Anniversary Celebration of the White Temple church. Young people in the high schools and junior colleges will particularly profit by this rare opportunity. The entire community will prize the privilege of his message.

Richfield Oil Co. Issues An Appeal Asks Motorists Not to Forget the Independent Dealer Who Has Been Selling at a Loss In anticipation of the cessation of gasoline price cutting on the Pacific Coast and accepting the current prediction that the "fuel war" will soon be over, the Richfield Oil company has just issued a formal appeal to motorists to behalf of the independent dealer. Denying responsibility for what it terms "the present absurd and uneconomic precile war," the Richfield statement, entitled "Don't Forget HIM THEN!" makes this plea for the independent: "When the price of gasoline is restored to a sane level by those companies responsible for the present price situation... don't forget this man who is now serving you at an actual loss on every gallon... the independent dealer." The statement emphasizing the right of the independent dealer to grow and make a reasonable profit further declares that "he (the independent) more than any other factor is... your safeguard against a possible monopoly." This appeal to motorists was the second announcement officially issued by Richfield in connection with the Pacific Coast "gas war" and followed closely the first statement in which it was promised that the company, while not in sympathy with the war, would meet all existing prices without lowering in any way the standard of its products. Concerning price and quality, the company officials made this assertion: "Richfield has never asked its friends to pay a higher rate for the privilege of using its products.

This appeal to motorists was the second announcement officially issued by Richfield in connection with the Pacific Coast "gas war" and followed closely the first statement in which it was promised that the company, while not in sympathy with the war, would meet all existing prices without lowering in any way the standard of its products. Concerning price and quality, the company officials made this assertion: "Richfield has never asked its friends to pay a higher rate for the privilege of using its products. Therefore, this company always has and always will continue to meet competitive prices. The quality of Richfield gasoline, Richfield-Ethyl fuel, and Richlube motor oil will continue, as in the past, to lead in every market." Officials of the Richfield company, elaborating on these statements in comments for the press, reminded newspaper representatives that it has been that company's stated policy for many years to give independent dealers the maximum of support. "This attitude of ours is widely known and accepted, both within the trade and on the part of the general public," asserted C. M. Fuller, vice-president and general manager. "All throughout the growth of Richfield to its present position, we have striven by every sound policy to maintain the independent dealer's right to live and make a fair profit." Charles R. Luedke was a visitor in town the first of the week, coming in from his ranch southeast of town where he is giving his attention to oranges and poultry.

He promises to be at next summer's pioneer picnic and to show the folks there assembled how a real old-timer's picnic should be run. President-elect Hoover and ex-Governor Smith met in a friendly visit at Miami, thus indicating that the war is over until 1932.

Pickwick Stage Bldg. the largest amount received in the state's history from a similar source. A total of $7,820,621.19 was collected by the state during the twelve-month period, and will be split "fifty-fifty" between the state highway commission and the 53 counties of the state. Before the county apportionment was made, however, $751,144.65 was deducted for salaries of traffic officers. This deduction will not be made next year, it is pointed out, if the state legislature adopts the measure calling for centralization of the state traffic patrol. Under the new plan, the traffic officers would be paid directly from operating funds of the state, rather than from county apportionments. The present apportionment shows an increase of $359,404.14 over the 1927 total, and represents approximately 89 per cent of the total registration receipts of the division. Heretofore, the division used only about 11 per cent of the receipts for operating expenses, although the law permits 25 per cent. California had a total of 1,846,412 fee-paid motor vehicles in operation last year, according to the announcement. Each county's share is based upon the number of machines registered. Los Angeles, as usual, led all counties of the state in the amounts received, its share being $1,568,040.25, because of its registration of 740,414 vehicles. San Francisco, with 144,171 vehicles, was second with $305,323.72, and Alameda third with 133,433 vehicles and $282,604.09. Alpine, the "baby county," of California, which boasts of only 56 automobiles in its rugged mountainous region, was handed the lowest county share, $118.60. FOR SALE—Team of mules at a bargain.
