OBSERVATIONS UP IN THE AIR When a fella reads the names of some of the guys indicted for this and that he is reminded of some of the broadcasting stations. HANGING UP THEIR STOCKINGS After the president suggested that the war debt payments be continued for a year, some of the foreign nations got the "gimmie" feeling, (and knowing your uncle is a good Santa Claus,) they asked that the debts be wiped out altogether. Aw, tink., come on be a good fella. NOW, AND GET THIS ONE, TOO! It is given out on good authority that women make better radio announcers than men. Of course, the female usually gets in the last word in a family argument and it is said she also gets in the first one. For that reason the voice of the female is high pitched and well keyed, and that is what counts when talking into the Mike for the benefit of the customers while they are eating the chop suey and the spagettl. REDUCING THE REPEATERS Down in a Southern state they allow you only two divorces. That is done to stop experimenting. If you don't get the right mate in two attempts you have to keep the subject or go without. AND THEN THE WORM TURNED There awhile back a number of men were convicted of some shenanigan, being hooked up in a bob-tailed land scheme. The guys who operated the game were in clover while the rich pickings lasted. Of course, the victims should have known better. It was flimsy figment. The guys agreed to put land in a highly cultivated state and then turn it over to the buyer. That scheme smelled fishy from the start. Anyhow the ringleaders are hooked now, and will have a long time to think it ovah. ON A DIET DE LUXE An Orange county man got away over on the Atlantic side and startled the natives there, saying he was the long-distance faster. That is, he could go longer without eating than anybody. (That's a fine thing to be able to do nowadays.) However, he was looking for a wager. Anyone who would hang up the best lot of money would bet his services. He specialized in 50-day fasts. There is where he shines. Forty-eight hours and no eats Weber Boom To Move Gigantic Removal Progress—Owner Sowder Explainments for L Weber Book store, located at 50 West Center number of years, will 31 to 117 West Center to announcement of Sowder. Goes to 117 We The building now on store was sold several times the new owners on Dec Sowder that he could temporary lease which Mr. Sowder immediately moves to move to 117 the place formerly on Morris Stylo Shop. Quarters will be consi than the present, Mr. day, began a gigantic which will continue until "Because of change temporary renewal of le the public to misunder sales we have staged." Reason for Fli "The first sale held advertised as a closing were informed that our re-newed. The pro sold and the new own temporary lease until announced on Dec I tha renew. Last summer available store suitable into, but now we have rangements for a satis at 117 West Center." ON A DIET DE LUXE An Orange county man got away over on the Atlantic side and startled the natives there, saying he was the long-distance faster. That is, he could go longer without eating than anybody. (That's a fine thing to be able to do nowadays.) However, he was looking for a wager. Anyone who would hang up the best lot of money would bet his services. He specialized in 50-day fasts. There is where he shines. Forty-eight hours and no eats were a mere bagatelle. Didn't amount to much. At last accounts the man was looking for somebody to give him a sittin' on the 50-day hunger strike and whether or not he was eating while he was waiting has not been learned up to the hour of going to press. LET'S SEE, DOESN'T IT SAY, SOMEWHERE, IT'S BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE A United States Senator is quoted as saying: Perhaps this maratorium should be granted to help the foreign nations; but the senator says further, we stand helpless to aid our own. RUBBING OUT THE RED INK Nowadays it seems to be proper to give first aid to the injured, and to a man on the firing line it looks as though a moratorium is a good thing to have in the tool chest. Of course, if it gets to be a habit, the recess might run into a long holiday and everybody and the cook would forget to go back to work. But really if the world could get on its feet again in all probability all would live happily ever after. HEY, EDDIE, QUICK, FETCH THE PUMP In times past it has been said liquid evidence has disappeared. but the other day up-state a guy accused of kiting a bum check got hold of the bouncing paper and swallowed it. BUT A RAINDROP DOESN'T MAKE A SHOWER If that moratorium business could be made to work on the guys who hold the local notes, the only trouble a fellow would have then would be to convince the wife that he had to attend a business conference when in fact he was out attending an assemblage of persons discussing boiler maker specials and incidentally telling the boys how the country should be managed. FICKLE GOODESS OF LUCK Judging from the crowds of men and women who attend the gambling halls at Reno the lifting of the lid has filled a longfelt want; and yet again some of the suckers may be in want. LIGHT ON THE TRIGGER Down Oklahoma way a deputy sheriff killed two men, shooting from the hip. It appears the boys don't take time to draw their gats before going into action. PRETTY WELL STOCKED UP Now that there is a moratorium, and the European countries are eating out of each others' hands, it would appear there is no need of a League of Nations. HUNG UP THE S. R. O. SIGN A charming and versatile young cabaret entertainer in an eastern town said she was glad to get fresh air. Down Oklahoma way a deputy sheriff killed two men, shooting from the hip.

SIGN A charming and versatile young cabaret entertainer in an eastern town said she was glad to get back home after a trip abroad. She says she couldn't see the use of trying to crash the gate of a jail 3000 miles away when there are so many at home just around the corner. Anyway it appears the folks over there did not give the 21-gun salute and did not have the band play the Marseillaise. HEY, RUBE! A cowboy humorist, who has a heart as big as a Texas steer, and who hits off some good stuff quite often in his daily piece in the paper, has been favorably mentioned as a possible candidate for a high executive office. He counters gracefully, and says there's nothing doing along that line. And yet again a newspaper writer says he would make an ideal senator—because he doesn't talk too much! O-o-o-h! THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYTHING After the silents passed out the stars took up voice training and some learned to sing; and yet again an actor who has made a hit can stutter to beat the band. OH, PSHAW, WHY DID THEY DO IT After reading a columner's pieces in the paper about this and that and especially a lot about the actresses' charms and what-nots, a fella sort of believed he was a young Shiek full of pep and vinger. And then the other day they printed his picture and instead of the dashing, handsome boulevardier you expected you are brought face to face with an old man, wearing specks with wrinkles 'n everything. ROCKING THE BOAT After hearing one of the broadcasters, who is a dandy one you like better than the others—one who makes you anxious to tune in when he goes on the mike, and then lo and behold you read where he has trouble with the wife on account of incompatibility. Weber Book Store To Move Dec. 31 Gigantic Removal Sale Now in Progress—Owner A. W. Sowder Explains Arrangements for Lease Weber Book store, which has been located at 50 West Center street for a number of years, will move December 31 to 117 West Center street, according to announcement of Owner A. W. Sowder. Goes to 117 West Center The building now occupied by the store was sold several months ago and the new owners on Dec. 1 informed Mr. Sowder that he could not renew the temporary lease which expired Jan. 1. Mr. Sowder immediately made arrangements to move to 117 West Center St., the place formerly occupied by the Morris Style Shop. Because the new quarters will be considerably smaller than the present, Mr. Sowder, Thursday, began a gigantic removal sale, which will continue until the removal. "Because of change of ownership and temporary renewal of lease, I don't want the public to misunderstand the two sales we have staged," Mr. Sowder said. Reason for First Sale "The first sale held last summer was advertised as a closing-out because we were informed that our lease would not be re-newed. The property then was sold and the new owners gave us a temporary lease until Jon., and then announced on Dec. 1 that they would not renew. Last summer there was no available store suitable for us to move into, but now we have completed arrangements for a satisfactory location at 117 West Center." News by Radio to Grandma Hodgson Mrs. L. F. Hodgson, of Hotel Pleasant, has expecting word at any time Quits Tariff Post Henry P. Fletcher, who has resigned as Chairman of the U.S. Tariff Commission, is expected to be appointed to a diplomatic post. OLD GREEK CITY FOUND Peasants of the village of Suvodol, in Southern Serbia, discovered some time ago an early Christian basilica which is believed to have formed part of the Greek city of Keramia. Excavations undertaken in consequence of this discovery have convinced two leading Yugoslav archaeologists, Dr. Grajitch of Skopje University and Dr. Musene of Skopje Museum, that the site of the early Christian centre for a large area has been located. The remains of many streets and houses have been laid bare; gold coins have been found and a mine shaft has been reopened. The pillars of the basilica are artistically carved. Apparently, the ancient Greek city was wiped out by the Slav hordes in the seventh century. Allspice is the dried unripe fruit of the pimienta tree. It is called allspice because it is said to have the odor of all the spices. Big Rush is On For Auto Plates (Corresponsence to the Gazette) Sacramento—California's official motor vehicle license plate renewal has opened with a flood of more than 600 ap- News by Radio to Grandma Hodgson Mrs. L. F. Hodgson, of Hotel Pleasant, has been expecting word at any time on any day for the last week that a stork had arrived at the home of her son, Richard A. Midte, at Palo Alto. But she was not expecting the news by telegraph or telephone, for they're too slow for these fast days. Mrs. Hodgson has kept her radio tuned in and yesterday she caught the message: "It's a boy. Weighs seven pounds. Named Richard Norman Midte." And here's how come: "Dad" Midte is a ship radio operator and he was ashore when the stork arrived with its treasure. He flashed the news over the Mackey radio station at Palo Alto, and supplemented it with a message by telegraph, just to make sure that Grandma Hodgson heard about it. The radio message was some hours in advance of the telegraph. Big Rush is On For Auto Plates (Corresponses to the Gazette) Sacramento—California's official motor vehicle license plate renewal has opened with a flood of more than 50,000 applications that number having been received by mail at the Sacramento headquarters of the Department of Motor Vehicles during the first three days of December. The applications came from practically every section of the state indicating a desire on the part of the motorists to "shop early." Registrar Russell Devans announced that applications are placed on file as received and if found in good order will be filled shortly after Christmas. New plates and certificates will be sent directly to the addresses given by the motorists, thus relieving them of the necessity of making special trips to branch offices. Counter deliveries of plates will open in Sacramento and at all branch offices of the Department of Motor Vehicles and the automobile clubs on Dec. 9. The early applications received by mail indicated that a large number of motorists are falling to heed the earlier warnings of the department that they must write in the number of cylinders of the car and the serial number on the face of the certificate of registration in making application. This information is required under a new section of the motor vehicle act. Iowa, famous for its tall corn, is also the leading producer of pop corn. Its average acres in pop corn from 1921 to 1930 was 25,884. What's the NEW FORD Going to Be Like? What's the NEW FORD Going to Be Like? They're asking me every day. And I have to answer: "I don't know." When Mr. Ford really wants to be close-mouthed about anything, he can make Cal Coolidge seem like a side-show barker by comparison. I do know, though, that the new car will appeal, like all FORD cars, to those sound-minded buyers who want strength, lightness and the ability to stand hard use—who want the most transportation for their money. That is why people, today, are buying 1931 Model A Fords in preference to more highly ornamented cars of competitive makes. You cannot get a satisfactory substitute for FORD built-in long life, merely by hanging gadgets on an automobile. ANAHEIM FORD DEALER 220 N.
