STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR RAIN Manager G. W. Sandilands of Orange & Lemon Ass'n calls attention to the fact that in the season of 1883-4 20-odd inches of rain fell in Orange county, most of it after February. In Orange-co. the average, according to the records of 45 years past, is largest in January, 2.86, but February's average is 2.60 and March 2.42 inches. Anaheim has received so far only 2.60 inches all told, but a doubling up of the March rainfall would help out much, if not save the expense of irrigating. In Riveraide-co., March, with 2.35 inches, has averaged in the past 42 years the largest rainfall of all, comparing with 1.98 for February and 2.01 for January. In San Bernardino-co. the rainfall average for 52 years shows a gradual decline from 3.32 in January to 2.91 in March. The precipitation in the last-named county is of import to Orange-co., because the headwaters of the Santa Ana river are located there. The following figures of Los Angeles-co. may be of interest, because the rainfall of the two counties often is not greatly different. In May, 1921, Los Angeles-co. received 3.57 inches, the heaviest rainfall of the season, comparing with 3.22 in January. In March, 1920, 4.25 inches fell by far the largest volume of any month in the 1919-1920 season. In March, 1919, 2.18 inches fell, the best showing of any month. In 1918, March, with 6.21, and February, with 6.14 inches, furnished nearly the entire rainfall.

A note found fastened to a derrick read: "You are overworking your men. Unless this practice is stopped you will suffer the consequences." It was signed "K. K. K." No importance is attached to this note, as to its origin or contents. PUT NATION AHEAD OF SELF, HE URGES 18 — The phrase, "When in doubt ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio, Feb. vote 'No.'" is "a lazy man's slogan," according to Rupert R. Beetham of Cadiz, former speaker of the Ohio house of representatives, addressing the Community club here. The vote on many of the referendums since Ohio adopted the initiative and referendum amendment to its state constitution "does not speak well for the state," Beetham said. Voicing fear of consequences resulting from lobbyists, he said: "The good American is one who puts his country ahead of himself. He is for his state first, rather than his class or group. He is an American before he is a lawyer, doctor, merchant, farmer, banker, mechanic or laborer. The great menace to good government is the selfish desire of individuals." "Every voter who is not lazy should have for his slogan: 'Get informed.' No one loses his vote unless he fails to vote his honest convictions. The good American will serve on the school board or anywhere else if called upon," said Beetham.

John Edward Heaton of Paris has sent an offer to present the town 200 acres of the "Sleeping Giant" to be set aside as a public park, and with this as a basis the state may be induced to purchase the rest for park purposes. Visible to every passing vessel on Long Island sound and from every Shore Line railroad train and most of the highways in southern Connecticut, the "Sleeping Giant's" outline is a scenic feature, resembling closely a recumbent man of huge size.

They have a legal claim to them since they have been recommended for decoration by their army leaders. When, in February, 1928, Reichstag discussed the matter a plenary session, the minister defence declared in a speech he considered it "a point of honor" with him to help every fighter to get his decoration he deserved it." The Prussia Diet carried a resolution to same effect, and the Prussia premier gave his consent. Since then nothing has been heard. In fact, none of the soldiers ever got his iron cross. Berlin nationalist papers launching a violent attack against the Prussian premier, Braun, whom they charge having denounced post-war declarations as a "militarist fare Applicants having participated more than 80 actions or mishes in the course of which they were wounded are said have been designated by him 'unauthorized claimants.'
