OBSERVATIONS GETTING THE BLUE PENCIL, EH? If all persons who land in jail would write letters to their home town papers, the several sheriffs no doubt would-favor the creation of a board of censure. FIGURES IS FIGURES Some towns point with pride to the number of their inhabitants, if there has been an increase during the past ten years, while others view with alarm the number of people they have, should there be a slump. LIKE THE FIREMAN SAVING THE LOT AND THE BRICK CHIMNEY It is said at the height of the frenzied finance that attended a certain oil stock blowup, some of the big boys got 58 per cent on short loans. Hey, Hey! FUNNY, ISN'T IT? A bozo gives you a bum check; he receives some goods, and the balance in change. The check comes back to you. You go after the fellow, threaten him with arrest, etc. He says: Give me that check and I will give you another one. You do that. And the second check bounces back at you, too. Now the plot thickens. When the bozo got hold of the first bum check he destroyed what the lawyers call the corpus delicatae; you know, the foundation of the offense. When he gave you the second bum check you accepted it for something else (the first bum check) that had no value, and consequently you were not defrauded out of anything. Ho, Ho, Hum! FALLING OFF When a young lady begins to get stout she should go horse-back riding and let the horse step into a gopher hole. THINGS LOOK GREENER ACROSS THE WAY Well, folks, after you read about the man who changed from the offense. When he gave you the second bum check you accepted it for something else (the first bum check) that had no value, and consequently you were not defrauded out of anything. Ho, Ho, Hum! FALLING OFF When a young lady begins to get stout she should go horseback riding and let the horse step into a gopher hole. THINGS LOOK GREENER ACROSS THE WAY Well, folks, after you read about the man who changed from beans and buns to broiled chops, and rabbit, you can readily see why he came South so sudden. (P. S.) Uk, oh he entered. An oral demurrer: KEEP HOME FIRES BURNING Although that terrific world conflict has been over for about 16 years, they are still showing the war "pitchers." LET GEORGE DO IT Say, mister, speaking about the unemployment, does that include the parked automobiles? TAKES IN LOTTA TERRITORY A magazine printed the picture of a beautiful lady and incidentally showed 'em from the toes to ap lace just above the knee, and a foot note said they were the prettiest in the world. HITS PAY DIRT True story. Three young ladies met and talked about the future. They agreed that if either one of them ever came into possession of one million dollars she would give the other two twenty-five thousand dollars apiece. Well, time rolled on. Through a legacy one of the girls got land that had oil in it. Later on she got oil and the million. The lucky girl gave a party. The other two girl friends were among the guests. When they all sat down to dinner the two girl friends each found a $25,000 check under her plate. Then there were Ohs, Ahs, and what have you; Hugs, kisses and whatnots. Everybody was happy. Now for the proposals.

GREAT BIG, STRONG MAN An agent sued an actress for a commission. They had met casually. It was one of those love at first sight episodes. The man did not intend to sue for his money—but the love cooled; the girl lost interest. And then the parting of the ways. An Exhitit, a letter from the fair damsel, said: "That love of yours I feel is creeping up on me." Evidently it fell backward. Then the lawsuit. Burned bridges. GLUE ON HIS FINGERS Hidalgo—What do they mean when they say a man was an "innocent victim?" Horatio—Well buddy, you see it's just like this; he may have got a stray bullet if he was star gazing, but if the guy was the go-between in a bribery deal, he was as dumb as an oyster if he did not hold out some of the jack.

A LITTLE SNIFTER NOW AN DTHEN A high official is quoted as saying that he believes a man would be better off without taking a drink; but yet again, he allows that if he did drink it would not disqualify him from being a good official. Well, now, mister, if a fella took one drink at a "sitting" how many "sittings" would it take to bowl him ovah? END OF THE TRAIL A man was convicted for embezzling money. He was sent to the pen for a long "stretch." He said if they sent him there he would die. ANAHEIM GAZETTE WASHINGTON, D. C.—Since science has discovered that the health productures substances called vitamins come from sunlight, careful studies of the effect of the sun's rays upon livestock, well as human beings, have been made by the Department of Agriculture. It seems to be proved that exposure to direct rays of the sun not only causes animals healthy but pays off in other ways. Hens lay better when they have plenty of sunshine; hogs and sheep and beef cattle assimilate their diet better and take on weight more easily; morcover, parasites and diseased germs do not multiply so freely under the rays of the sun as they do darkness. The part of the sunlight which carries the health giving vitamins is the short rays which are invisible to the earth, known as the ultra-violet rays. The problem of exposing domestic animals to these ultra-violet rays in the winter is a difficult one, because these rays do not pass through ordinary window glass, and in most sections of United States shelter from the cold more important than exposure to the sun. Many glass manufacturers are spending huge sums in the effort to produce glass which will let the ultra-violet rays pass through. If this can be accomplished, at a cost which will not be exhibitive, the progressive farmer of future will build his barns and utility houses with the south front of buildings entirely of glass, like a house, so that his livestock will at least be protected from the weather and exposed to every available bit of winter shine. The United States Bureau of Standards has been making thorough tests all of the different kinds of glass so produced with this end in view. One half-minute interviews Facts and Fancies Which Men and Women Give to The Gazette Reporters dried fruit, poultry, figs and a few other "miscellaneous" crops, a total of but $3,500,000 has been loaned. Even livestock groups have been loaned but $1,500,000 of the board's money, it is estimated. Many observers here feel that the rock-bottom in farm real estate prices which has been expected for many months has been reached, or will shortly be reached, and that the result will be at least a slight upward trend. Changes in the level of farm real estate this year as compared with last were slight in the east and west south central states. Only slight changes were shown also in the New England, Mountain and Pacific Coast states. The heaviest decline was in the east north central and South Atlantic regions. ing the gold rush in '98. With most of the outsiders, I arrived in that year too late to get a claim on the best ore-bearing grounds. But I stayed there 15 years, worked along the coast from Kodiac to Cook's Bay, where the second highest tides of the world are recorded. Of course, there are many hardships, such as the mercury dropping to 65 degrees below zero, and three months of winter when the sun doesn't shine in these parts, but there are a world of opportunities. No, don't consider the opportunities there now as great as 30 or more years ago, but they are greater than in the more civilized territory in United States proper. "I-have a brother who has lived in Alaska 40 years. Most of that time he has leased two islands from the government and has run a fox farm, making plenty of money at the business. However, that is too lonesome for me, for just one man stays on an island to feed fish to the foxes during the winter, and catch fish during the summer to store for winter food. Most of the islands now are leased to fox farmers." There are now so many airplanes traveling over London that the air ministry is going to put one way air traffic into effect. How about left hand turns? NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR FURNISHING CAST IRON PIPE AND FITTINGS, AUTO-MOBILE AND ELECTRIC LAMPS.

Now they have an opportunity to change the record with more immediate effect. It seems that business conditions here, while not at their very best, are vastly ahead of conditions in the Middle West and East. Relatives write me of unemployment situations and slack business conditions east of here, and a check with the business barometer indicates that we should congratulate ourselves on being in such a good financial position." Idiocyncasles "Merchants often encounter some very queer propositions," stated E. J. Wiseman, Jeweler on West Center street. "Many of the incidents are extremely funny. For instance, last week I placed a fish bowl with gold fish in it in my window. Shortly after the bowl was properly placed a woman entered the shop and wanted me, a jeweler, to sell her some fish. But a few days later, a gentleman entered the store and wanted the jeweler to furnish him a fish bowl." WHERE DID MONEY GO! William A. Dolan, president of Anaheim First National Bank: "Evidences clearly point to an upward trend in business. While the path toward renewed prosperity seems slow and tedious, many of us are wondering just where all the money went in the stock crash last year about this time. Many people feel that the crash was manipulated, but since the stocks have failed to rise appreciably, if the crash was planned then those who planned it got their fingers burned as badly as those who were innocent victims. It certainly slowed up circulation of money, and just where all the money went is a puzzle to me." LIFE IN ALASKA M. C.
