DROUTH MAY HIT RANCHERS HARD "California has broken all records for lack of rainfall this year and farmers are confronted with the necessity of installing deeper pumping equipment in order to secure relief from the water famine," declares D. G. Miller, general sales manager of the Layne & Bowler Corp., Los Angeles. "Take Los Angeles and vicinity, for instance. From July 1, 1923, to Feb. 18, of this year, the rainfall for Los Angeles has been 1.82 inches, on top of the rainfall which, last year was two-thirds under normal. In 1904 and 1918 rain was equally scarce up to Feb. 1." "Even if we should have copious rain during the remainder of February and March it is doubtful if there will be sufficient water for pumps that are installed only to shallow depths. It is, therefore necessary to squarely face the facts and instead of blindly going ahead in the hope of rain, farmers and growers should take immediate steps to increase their water equipment and capacity. "The water level in many parts of the state has sunk to where present pumps in wells cannot operate to obtain the necessary supply of water and more adequate equipment must be installed." "We are recommending to all of our customers that if they have deep well pumps already installed it would be advisable to immediately have extensions placed on the pumps in order to lower the bowls to a depth that will reach the lowest anticipated water level." "Those who have not already installed their new pumping equipment for the spring season will do well to see that their wells are deep enough so that a permanent water level is reached and deep well pumps should be installed for this emergency, in our opinion." The Layne & Bowler Corp. is sending field men to different deep well pumps already installed it would be advisable to immediately have extensions placed on the pumps in order to lower the bowls to a depth that will reach the lowest anticipated water level. "Those who have not already installed their new pumping equipment for the spring season will do well to see that their wells are deep enough so that a permanent water level is reached and deep well pumps should be installed for this emergency, in our opinion." The Layne & Bowler Corp. is sending field men to different parts of California to study the water conditions and to observe the effect that the lack of rainfall is having upon the water supply and announcement is made that one of these field men will call upon any irrigator in this locality if requested. Those who make semi-annual visits to their physicians are never surprised by insidious diseases with silent symptoms.

Los Angeles St. Bandit King Reigns With Terror BELGRADE, Feb. 25. — Jove Carug, the terror or movania, is in jail in Belgrade. The Slavonian peasantry are devoutly hoping that the Belgrade bastile is strong enough to hold him, but they have their doubts. "No house is safe from Jovo Carug," the peasants say. "Jovo Carug can get through any wall, no matter how thick." These sayings are proverbs in Slavonia. They are the reasons why the Slavonians are skeptical about Jovo remaining in durance while for any great length of time. The jailers at Belgrade, however, declare they have Jovo where they long have wanted him and are going to keep him there. Through a highly industrious and somewhat picturesque career of banditry, Jovo Carug has amply justified the fearsome respect which the Slavonian peasants have for his inquisitive prowess. He has confessed to seven murders, 18 robberies and a few lesser crimes. The authorities contend that Jovo hasn't told half the story.

Three years later he was made president of Adelphi college and held that position for 16 years.

LUDENDORFF AND HITLER JAILED MUNICH, Feb. 25. — General Ludendorff, known during the great war as "the brains of the German army," and Adolil Hitler, leader of the Bavarian Fascists, today were lodged in the war academy building preparatory to the opening of their trial tomorrow upon the charge of high treason. Ludendorff was gloomy and had little to say. Hitler seemed in better spirits. The war academy building is closely guarded by military police to prevent any attempt to harm or to liberate the captives. Anticipating demonstrations in favor of the two famous prisoners, police have prohibited political mass meetings. No more than three persons are permitted to assemble within a certain "prohibited area." Nationalists have been active ever since his arrest during the Pascist uprising last November to prevent his trial. They appealed to Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who refused to act, saying he was convinced that the trial would show that Ludendorff acted purely from patriotic motives. Ludendorff of Hitler were the central figures of the so-called "beerball putsch" in this city when the Bavarian Fascists were threatening to march upon Berlin to seize the government.
