50 Years Ago July 10, 1887 Last Saturday two Frenchmen were eating their dinner at the sheep camp near Coyote creek. While parfaking of their meal one of them struck the other between the eyes knocking him down and then proceeded to kick his victim about the head and body. The latter came into town and swore out a warrant for his assailant's arrest, which was probably served. The injured man says that he knows nothing that could incite his companion to commit such an act, but thinks that the latter had a spite against him. The victim's face is black and blue and he has several bruises on the body. The Board of Town trustees met on Wednesday afternoon, Messrs. Cahen, Kroeger and Rimpau were present. Petition of Mr. L.

About 7:30 Tuesday morning a heavy farm team belonging to L. F. Pomeroy broke loose from its moorings near one of the packing houses and took a spin around town, coming up Center street at a terrific speed, with the front wheels dragging behind, the balance of the wagon having been upset and left near the starting point. At the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets the team was stopped by a Mexican who requested $5.00 from Mr. Pomeroy for having brought the team to a standstill. The runaway was caused by a Santa Fe passenger train which Mr. Pomeroy said crept up to where his team was State’s Welfare Act Is Explained Law To Become Effective September 1; Snow Lists Terms Old age security applicants will be required by the state department of social welfare to give liens on their homes or other real estate until September 1, it will learned today from Welfare Rector Jack W.

The runaway was caused by a Santa Fe passenger train which Mr. Pomeroy said crept up to where his team was standing awaiting the loading of empty orange boxes without sounding the whistle. The wagon was pretty badly demolished but no other injury resulted. T. E.

Brief sketch of current 200 million sheep-like m The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H.TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Marketing legislation, since the first crack of depression's sullen dawn—bringing with it the problems of over-production, glutted markets and crumbling price structures—has been a primary concern to agriculture both in California and throughout the nation. And although the depression is reported hopefully on its way to oblivion, the problem of coping with the natural law of supply and demand still remains. California, broadly speaking, has four major acts (one, a new enactment of the 1937 session) and hundreds of other statutes bearing directly or indirectly on the marketing problem. The major planks in the state's marketing structure, with changes voted by the legislative session recently ended, are as follows: 1. Agricultural Prorate act, providing for producer control—proration of deliveries by farmers. This is designed to regulate, by state control, what goes into both state and interstate commerce. A new feature of the act, approved by the 1937 legislature, provides for the raising of advertising funds by assessment to stimulate demand and develop new outlets for commodities. 2. California's "Little Triple A" act, providing for intrastate control of marketing, tying-in with the federal government's program of interstate control. This act provides for distributor proration, limiting the amount any distributor may distribute, the amount to be used in by-products, etc. New 1937 features of the act are designed mainly to eliminate conflict with the federal program and to clear up questions of constitutionality. 3. California Marketing act of 1937, similar to the Triple A, except that it sets up regulation in the state independent of federal agreements; also provides machinery for raising advertising funds Bank of America has more than two million depositors—or approximately one out of every three Californians. These depositors are served by 8,000 men and women who are trained in every phase of modern banking. Bank of America workers—8,000 strong—are your neighbors. They are also the good customers of California merchants, manufacturers and farmers. They represent a heavy volume of buying power which is directed every month into the channels of business and agriculture to the benefit of the entire state. The combined funds of Bank of America's depositors—totaling more than one and one-quarter billion.

Stewart, Agent U.S. Debt Above 1937 Estimates The United States government winds up another fiscal year with more income than it expected, but also with greater expenses than had been looked for. The result is the addition of nearly three billion dollars more to the federal debt. The federal government balances its books at the end of a year that starts on July 1 and winds up on the next June 30. This June 30, for the fifth consecutive year it didn't "balance" its books; it just added and subtracted. The net deficit for the fiscal year was more than $115,000,000 above the $2,557,000,000 forecast by the president in April. The reason is that although the income was $52,000,000 greater than the April estimate, the outgo was $219,000,000 over the estimates. That leaves the government $36,300,000,000 in debt. When the series of deficits began, the debt was down to $20,115,000,000. Twenty-three per cent of the expenditures for the last year were on WPA projects. Total expenditures for the year were close to $8,000,000,000. LIGHT AS THE STRIKE OF A RAINBOW TROUT FLORSHEIM Flyweights!
