STILL TALKS ABOUT THAT DUCK HUNT (By Sargumi Sprout) CYPRESS, Dec. 21.—(Spl.) When the party of duck hunters struck the mud down at the Salton Sea, the water was somewhere just above freezing point. The mud is some 2½ feet deep and about a hundred yards in width. H. LaRue was better built for the ordeal as his general outline more resembles a crane than any other of the party. The mud was finally overcome and a strip of solid earth reach. This long narrow strip of land reaches out into the sea for a mile or more, a bull rush swamp lies on either side. At the outer end of this strip is a grassy swamp that is wonderful in mysteries and uncertainties. You will be walking along on solid footing when suddenly you feel said footing vannish, and you are treated to a beautiful mud bath. The ducks were holding a grand reunion about one-half mile out. The geese had took possession of a small island out in the sea and were giving a grand party for the royal gander. Dear spotted one old lost duck in a lagoon and snuffed out the poor things career. After standing around for an hour or two, we observed one old duck leave the meeting out in the sea and come our way. He must have been delegated to see what kind of shots we were. Jack Fuquay brought Mr. Duck down into the grass. Then the hunt began. Jack would be walking about kicking the grass tufts, when suddenly he would disappear to the waistline, at which time he seemed to find much pleasure in crying "Hold her General." After a while he would succeed in prying himself out with his gun and the hunt went on till the Welgon was located. A consultation was called a return to comp was decided upon. Also that all would return late in the afternoon for the evening shooting. On the way back to camp, Fuquay, Dear and myself decided we would sleep warmer in the bull rushes, so a camp site was picked and much drift wood laid. We then returned to camp. Cooked lunch. Fuquay claimed not to be hungry but taught us much in the big savings from water shipments. If the ninety-four cars of valencia oranges that the McPherson Heights Citrus Assn. expects to ship East during the coming season were shipped by water instead of by rail, a saving of $22,200 would result to the grower membership, C.W. Post, manager of the association, informed those present at a meeting of the El Modena. Post said that shipment by water would save the growers 75 cents a box. Orange county has guaranteed to ship 1000 cars of citrus fruit through the Panama canal during the coming season, the speaker said. The present arrangement allows for the ships to return from the East without cargo, and still make profit. West on the return trip, the proceeds will be clear profit, it was stated. URGE HOOVER AS CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover has been designated as chairman of the Colorado River Commission by President Harding. Secretary Hoover's appointment to the commission had been already announced. California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana will be represented on the commission. The Interstate Commerce Commission will decide whether the Boulder Canyon project shall be undertaken by private interests or the government. ASK 2c DUTY ON CUBAN SUGAR WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Duty of two cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar was asked of the Senate Finance Committee by American beet and Porto Rigan can sugar interests. Louisiana can producers asked for a duty of two and one-half cents. The issue is whether American sugar interests are to be sacrificed to those of Cuba, said those who testified. art of capacity. If he had of been hungry, well he would have had to fill up on bulrush bulbs. It was a beautiful procession, our crossing the mud flats with our packs.

ASTROLOGER TELLLS OF BIG WAR IN 1926 LONDON, Dec. 21. — The irresponsible astrologer apparently places little reliance on the Washington Disarmament Conference, for he predicts a real world war in 1926—Anglo-Saxonom against a Mohammedan-Bolshevik alliance. This is not political or armament-maker's scaremongering, it is written in the stars and planets. So says "Sepharial" in the "British Journal of Astrology." "Sepharial" proceeds to prove his contention sby elaborate charts and explanations of planetary conjunctions, star movements, etc., and for a bright, hopeful beat. The writer disdains drawing individual horoscopes, and makes only a passing reference to the various nasty things that will happen during the next four years. He concentrates on 1926, a year "destined to shake the world to its foundations, both physically and politically." It coincides with the conjunction of the planets Mars and Mercury in the world horoscope. Summarizing "Sepharial's" program for that year, the poor old man跌落了。 LESSEN ACCIDENTS AT DANGEROUS TURN The Auto Club of Orange-co is still looking for opportunities to safeguard the lives and property of the motoring public. The latest step in the safety campaign has been to take up the matter of the north end of Main-st, Santa Ana, with county board of supervisors and the state highway commission. “This corner has been the scene of a number of accidents,” said A. S. Ralph, manager of the Auto Club. “The corner does not end in a T., like an ordinary turn, but branches off into a Y., making it unnecessary to slow down to the usual speed for corner turning. It is this that has caused many of the accidents. One button placed in the center of the roadway does not safeguard the casual driver from anyone who does not know the turn. “We have suggested to the highway commission and supervisors that they place three buttons at the intersections, forming a triangle. Inside of these buttons curved white lines should be painted to make the turns and arrows on the outside indicate plaibly the manner in which to make the turning. “If the highway commission will make these improvements, much needless damage will be saved.” TWO NEGROES WILL SUBMIT PLEAS FRI. That Eddie Brooks and Edward Woods, negroes who were charged with an assault upon Darwin Grimes, of Santa Ana, driver for the Crown stage line, will be arraigned Friday morning in the superior court, was declared probable today at the office of the district attorney. That they would plead guilty was believed likely. Brooks and Woods are accused of having set upon Grimes at Fullerton about a week ago, when told to ride in a rear seat of his stage instead of a front seat, which they wished to occupy. One is alleged to have struck him with a club, breaking his left arm, while the other negro used a knife to slash Grimes' face. HELD IN MURDER GRASS VALLEY, Dec. 21. — E. Benoit, an ex-convict, was being held here today by local authorities in the belief that he has knowledge of the plane crash that occurred on Mount Vernon avenue in Marion. Years later Harding was elected to the United States senate. He came to Washington and soon sent for Christian to come here as his secretary. Christian was at Harding's side in Chicago when news contention sby elaborate charts and explanations of planetary conjunctions, star movements, etc., and for a bright, hopeful to beat. The writer disdains drawing individual horoscopes, and makes only a passing reference to the various nasty things that will happen during the next four years. He concentrates on 1926, a year "destined to shake the world to its foundations, both physically and politically." It coincides with the conjunction of the planets Mars and Mercury in the world horoscope. Summarizing "Sepharial's" program for that year, the poor old world is due for: Plague, famine, flood, shipwreck, naval disaster, rioting, revolution and "widespread deemation" of the people. APE OF MOVIES AT CALIFORNIA THURS. The vaudeville road show which Melikle John and Dunn are bringing to the California Theatre tomorrow is truly a holiday one.

Thousands have seen Napoleon on the screen in his comedies and now Anaheim is to have the opportunity of seeing this comedian on the stage. Napoleon does nearly everything that a person can do. He eats, drinks and smokes and even rides a bicycle just as a human being would do. Brindamour and his company of escape artists are another attraction on this bill. Professor Brindamour is the only man who ever dove, hand-cuffed and shackled, into Elliot Bay, "the bottomless bay, along the coast of New England. Lillian Ruby, the violiniste par excellence, will surely charm her audience with her selections. Miss Ruby is a Pantages attraction. The happy chap, Jemery Seaman, has many novel ways of entertaining and his act has many surprises in it. On the screen, Sydney Franklin's latest production, "Courage," will hold forth. "Courage" is a drama which might be enacted in any American home and is the story of the conflict of a wife's loyalty and a wife's happiness. Get Our Prices Before You Buy HAY—FEED J. E.
