IRRIGATION SHORT COURSE Programs have been received at the Farm Advisor's office of a short course to be given in irrigation at the University Farm, Davis, November 12, 13 and 14. General subjects up for discussion include soil moisture relations, water requirements of crops, land preparation and irrigation methods, irrigation structures and water measurements, pumps and underground waters, plant and soil moisture relations. There will be no fee charged for the course and it will be particularly instructive to farmers, engineers, irrigation district officials, and manufacturers of irrigation equipment. CITRUS SCHOOL AT The only citrus school Southern California this to Warren R. Schoone Specialist in Citriculture the Junior College in November 4, 5, 6 and 7. Orange County who will school will be welcome. Trained to the Job If you had two applicants for an important place in your business, both of equal integrity, but one a stranger to your affairs while the other had worked for you 12 years training himself for the place, which would you choose? Would you hire the stranger? Or would you consider it more sensible and fair to promote the loyal employee who had trained himself to handle your affairs? If you perfer the square deal and desire experienced administration, vote for EARL R. ABBEY Candidate for County Treasurer DO NOT DISARM THE OFFICE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY DO NOT DISARM THE OFFICE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY This office requires the sort of tested abpractical experience, sound judgment and sindetermination to enforce the law that Sam Collins has been showing, as assistant distorney, for four years, and which he alonable to offer in this campaign. That is why he has been so heartily endorsed those who demand clean and moral governmeand who admire an able lawyer on a lawyer's They feel that failure to elect Mr. Collins wi leave the district attorney’s office helpless to fend Orange county against the forces of evil crime. Mr. Collins’ character and ideals won the endoment of Charles C. Chapman, dry leader churchman. His two late opponents, D. G. W lin and R. E. Haynes, concede and declare him be the logical choice on all counts. Dist Attorney Buron Fitts, of Los Angeles, champion of the dry cause, recognized i Collins the traits that caused him to express hope of Mr. Collins’ election, that might work together. The dry law must be enforced. It cannot be enforced in Orange county for the four years unless Sam L. Collin’s is elected district attorney. COLLINS-FOR-DISTRICT ATTORNEY COMMITTEE Can the Vote of Veterans Be Purchased? Well, hardly. Yet an attempt is being made on behalf of a candidate for sheriff to influence veterans on the ground of past and future favors. Can the Vote of Veterans Be Purchased? Well, hardly. Yet an attempt is being made on behalf of a candidate for sheriff to influence veterans on the ground of past and future favors. As Veterans, We Believe: That the veterans of Orange county will cast their votes for the man that they believe qualified for the office of sheriff. LOGAN JACKSON —himself a member of Orange Post 132—has never appealed to veterans on the basis of veteran affiliations. He stands squarely on a record of good citizenship and sound qualifications for the office of sheriff, confident that such grounds are sufficient appeal to veterans or others. We, His Comrades, Hold: That Logan Jackson is the best qualified candidate for sheriff. We are supporting him for that reason. Let us have no more talk of past or future political favors to veterans.

Shortage of Ducks Is Now Apparent Hunters Are More Careful This Season About Observing Bag Limit Laws USE OF TWO-BARREL GUNS They Are Gaining In Popularity In California Double-barreled shotguns are gaining popularity in the field, according to recent reports to the Division of Fish and Game from the duck hunting grounds. It is also reported that hunters are more careful about observing the bag limit laws this season than any year previous. By using the double-barreled guns many sportsmen declare that they are enabled to stay in the field longer to get a limit and that the shoot produces nearly twice as much sport. It is also pointed out that the birds are given a better sporting chance of escape by this method of shooting and that the kill is not so disasterous to any one flight. A good hunter with an automatic or a pump gun is often able to completely ruin a small flock of ducks. With a two-shot piece such a hunter will pick the two best looking birds in a flight and allow the rest to escape. Instead of being absolutely demoralized and scattered, the birds will proceed to a place of safety and will become good game for other reasonable hunters in the field in future times. Naturalists from the Biological Survey, who have been making studies of the duck situation for the past three years, declare that "there is no use in trying to fool ourselves about the shortage of ducks." It is a serious situation, they report, and it is up to the hunters to use reasonable methods in bagging the birds. Many of the birds are concentrating in California this season because of a shortage of food in other former grounds. This makes it appear as though the birds are as plentiful as ever, naturalists declare, and to pursue a "blind" program of slaughter here a law, guaranteeing that junior colleges get $100 a pupil, even thought it becomes necessary to draw the money from the general funds of the state. Falling this, the state department of education is admittedly at a loss as to the future of junior colleges." There are now 16,918 pupils enrolled in 16 junior college districts. Morgan said, with more than 2,000 additional to be added when the new Los Angeles college qualifies for state funds in 1932. "Total expenses, excluding capital outlay, for junior colleges during the past fiscal year totaled $2,250,000," Morgan said. Dolans Entertain Barnsdall Official Mr. and Mrs. George Locke, of Chicago, were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Dolan of 809 West Broadway Friday and Saturday. Mrs. Locke is the cousin of Mrs. Dolan, and the families were well acquainted when both lived in the Middle West. Mrs. Locke is vice president of the Barnsdall Oil Company and was in California on a combined business and pleasure trip. Mr. Dolan, president of the Anaheim First National Bank, is well known in civic and financial circles of northern Orange county. MARY MARSHALL'S Very Latest Naturalists from the Biological Survey, who have been making studies of the duck situation for the past three years, declare that "there is no use in trying to fool ourselves about the shortage of ducks." It is a serious situation, they report, and it is up to the hunters to use reasonable methods in bagging the birds. Many of the birds are concentrating in California this season because of a shortage of food in other former grounds. This makes it appear as though the birds are as plentiful as ever, naturalists declare, and to pursue a "blind" program of slaughter here will mean to create an added shortage of nesting birds in the north for the years to come. When the duck ranks are greatly thinned the non-game birds in the north have a tendency to crowd onto the nesting fields, according to investigators, and the game birds are thus prevented from completing their brooding habits. Ducks, as a rule, always return to their native haunts to nest. It would thus seem that there is safety in numbers only in the nesting grounds. Double-barreled guns also cause a lesser number of birds to be wounded and crippled. When a hunter has but two shots at his finger-tips he generally waits his time and makes those shots certain. With five or six shells in a magazine the hunter will often take a couple of "good luck" shots at a passing flock and injure many birds that he does not get. Many hunters have reported to the Division of Fish and Game that they have cut their hunting expenses to a minimum by using a double-barreled gun. This saving was noted in the number of shells fired. When using a pump or an automatic the hunters wastes many shells simply because they are instantly at his command—he will often pump two shells into one duck when one was all that was necessary. Hen Hospital For Poultry Producers A hospital for sick hens might be called a necessary inconvenience on a poultry plant, says Prof. J. E. Doughery, of the University of California Poultry Husbandry Division, but it is a necessity. Good management, he points out, requires that sick birds be separated from the well ones because of the danger of spreading infectious disease. "The well birds," Professor Dougherty says, "will pick on and more or less abuse the sick ones, and will not allow them to get anough to eat and drink. If alling birds are to be treated and given a chance to get well, their hospital quarters should promote recovery insofar as environment can do so. "A hospital may be a simple shed roof house with a well drained concrete floor that can be hosed out and kept sanitary. A large open front will admit abundant health-promoting sunshine, but should be well protected by curtains against bad weather." Fine hand work and embroidery are coming back into their own. The home dressmaker should keep pace with this trend in present fashions by learning how to do some of the more effective sets of embroidery. The blouse shown in the sketch is not at all difficult to copy, the embroidery being of the simple peasant sort that does not put too much of a tax on the eyes. It consists of tri-angles and straight lines, the straight lines as well as the outlines of the triangles being done with black and the triangles with color. If you like you may use three contrasting colors for the triangles—first one of blue, then one of red and then one of yellow. Or you may combine three tones of the same color. This type of embroidery may be applied in many ways. Cut a piece of cardboard the size of the triangle and then measure with a ruler equal distances along the material where you want the embroidery to appear. Lightly mark the triangles at regular spaces, connect with straight lines and there you are. The triangles are worked with satin stitch using "The well birds," Professor Dougherty says, "will pick on and more or less abuse the sick ones, and will not allow them to get anough to eat and drink. If alling birds are to be treated and given a chance to get well, their hospital quarters should promote recovery insofar as environment can do so. "A hospital may be a simple shed roof house with a well drained concrete floor that can be hosed out and kept sanitary. A large open front will admit abundant health-promoting sunshine, but should be well protected by curtains against bad weather. "Roomy, sanitary coops for the birds facilitate catching individuals for treatment and a sink and table should be provided. The coops can be tiered three high to accommodate 45 birds in a house 20 feet long; floor pens for convalescent birds not requiring frequent individual treatment can be built on each side of the sink, if necessary. "Very satisfactory and comparatively inexpensive hospital coops can be made from the all metal exhibition coops used at poultry shows by providing them with one-inch mesh wire bottoms having shallow trays or pans below. The wire mesh will keep the birds away from the droppings and the sliding trays will facilitate cleaning. Coops to catch the droppings can be arranged in tiers." PLIGHT OF JUNIOR COLLEGES Junior colleges of California must seriously curtail their efforts unless the 1931 legislature takes steps to provide immediate financial help for present and future needs, says Walter E. Morgan, of the state department of education. If the legislature refuses aid, he said, property owners in each existing and contempated junior college district must be prepared to assume the major portion of the upkeep. The whole matter will be placed before the legislature, Mr. Morgan said. At present the state has a junior college fund which is supposed to supply $100 a pupil a year," Mr. Morgan explained, "while the fund was able to give but $30 a pupil last year, and this year it will be even less. It is derived from the state's share of oil bonuses, royalties and leases, as returned by the federal government. Conservation policies recently inaugurated have cut down this money, until it is no longer adequate. "We will ask the legislature to pass the triangles with color. If you like you may use three contrasting colors for the triangles—first one of blue, then one of red and then one of yellow. Or you may combine three tones of the same color. This type of embroidery may be applied in many ways. Cut a piece of cardboard the size of the triangle and then measure with a ruler equal distances along the material where you want the embroidery to appear. Lightly mark the triangles at regular spaces, connect with straight lines and there you are. The triangles are worked with satin stitch, using mercerized embroidery cotton, and the outlining is done of fast colored black embroidery cotton of the same sort. BEAVERS The first European settlers in America found a curious animal in the New World. The beaver, which builds its nests like little log houses, in the middle of a stream or swamp, and then builds a dam to raise the water level so that its enemies cannot reach the entrance to its home except by diving, is more than an interesting little animal. It was the source of the greater part of the wealth of the early Colonists. Beaver fur, it was soon discovered, made a better felt for hats than wool or any of the other readily obtainable furs. We speak today of the tall silk hat of fashion as a "beaver", but it is merely a remote descendant of the fashionable beaver-fur hats of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. An immense commerce between the Old World and the New was built up on beaver furs as the principal export from this side, and beaver fur, now mainly obtained from Canadian sources, is still one of the most highly prized pelts. The proclivity of the beaver to build dams is being utilized in the Pallisades Interstate Park, lying in New York and New Jersey. A large swamp needed a dam to make it into a lake. Several families of the 350 beavers that live in the park were trapped and moved to the swamp. They proceeded to build their houses there and to construct the dam just where it was needed. Although no longer an important item in commerce, the beaver is still useful. If Davy Crockett were only alive just think how much fun he could have just now going bear hunting in Wall Street."
