SAYS SALES OF TIPS
ON RACES UNLAWFUL
CITY LAW AGAINST GIVING
SPEED FACTS HELD VALID
SAILS Discharge from Arrest for Dis
seninatlng Information on Race
Track Horses Leads TO
Case Decided

That the city ordinance making it
unlawful for any person to publish,
distribute, sell or give away tips on
horse races is constitutional, is the
opinion of Judge w. H Jamison of
the superior court, to whom was ap-
pealed the case of the city against
Sylvester Saal. arrested in June on a
charge of disseminating information
regarding the form and condition of
horses at Emeryville.
Following Saal's arrest 4 demurrer
to the complaint was sustained by
Police Justice Chambers and Saal was
discharged. An appeal was taken by
the city.
In giving his opinion, Judge Jamison
says the ordinance manifestly was
passed in the exercise of the police
power given to the city of Los An
geles by the state. constitution, and
that the police power of the munich
pality, in the absence of any general
law on the subject, is as broad as that
of the Legislature itself.
Gambling Is Demoralizing
at is well settled" says the court,
that gambling in all the various
modes in which it is practiced is de-
moralizing in it's tendencies and an
evil which the law rightfully may sup
press without interfering with any of
those inherent rights of citizenship
which it is the object of the govern
rnent to protect and secure.
Pursuant to this policy, it is held
in this state that a municipal ordi-
nance prohibiting the selling of pools
on horse races or holding money or
anything as a stake upon any wager
as to the result of such race is clearly
a police regulation. such as munich
pality is authorized to make and
enforce within it's limits"
In the Saal case, says Judge Jami-
son. the ordinance does not conflict
with any general law passed by the
legislature.
An appeal to the highest courts, it is
believed, will be taken by Saal's at
torneys.

SEARCH IN VAIN
Court Appoints Public Official to Look
After Property of Mrs. Matilda
Walden, Who Died In
testate

No heirs to the estate of Mrs. Ma
tilda Walden, who died in August, have
been found, and Judge Rives granted
letters of administration to Frank Bry-
son, public administrator.
Mrs. Waldens property was valued
at about 100000 at the time of her
death, the greatest interest being real
estate with 40-foot frontage on Nam
street, at the corner of First.
After her death a search, extending
through many states and reaching into
England and Scotland, where she once
lived was made by the public admins
traitor and the British vice consul to
find possible heirs, but the efforts were
futile. Unless an heir presents himself
or herself within a year the property

Kafir Corn a Cash Crop.

Wherever the crops have been de-
stroyed by food and some crop to
bring in the cash is wanted, plant
kafir corn.
Mexican June corn, milomaize, cow
peas and sorghum planted during the
next two weeks will provide feed for
home use and to sell locally. Plant
plenty of them; there is no danger OF
having too much
But plant kafiir corn for something to
sell. Plant the black-hulled white va
riety Plant it in rows about three
feet eight inches apart and have one
Plant il thicker on the bottom than on
the upland, and plant plenty Of it--all
that you have land easily prepared for
it Cultivate it well when the dry
weather comes, as it's pretty certain
10 come.
Yields of twenty TO sixty bushels Of
kafir corn per acre may be obtained
from June planted katir corn, even
though planting in April is best And
in southern Oklahoma planting as late
as July 10 may do
There is shipping market for kafir
corn and the threshed grain sells for
practically as much as corn, and the
yield is sure
Now, don't listen to the objection
that it's hard on the land" 1t isn't,
il you handle the land right after
gathering the crop. And in any event,
it'll not be as hard on the land as lack
of feed for your stock and something
to sell will be on you.
There are full four months before
frost may be expected in Kansas.
That's as much time "a there ever is
without frost in many OF the best
farming states in the north and east
To be sure, it's mighty discouraglDg to
have the crops spoiled by too much
water, especially when we are always
expecting too little. But never yet in
Kansas has wet season turned out a
disastrous one for farmers. IL is the
dry year that everyone has reason TO
fear, FOR the dry years in the past have
been hard ones es.-Meade Kas) Globe.

Anti.NepOtism is in Force.

The anti-nepotism bill has gone into
effect. 1t prohibits the employment
OF relatives in office The bill was
signed thirty days ago by Governor
Haskell
The bill has already been causing
considerable comment and some cuss-
in, 1t absolutely forbids any official,
county, city or state, from employing
any of his relatives, down to the third
degree, rs deputies or in any public
way.
As IL is very common thing for
county sheritfs to have their relatives
as deputies, clerks, etc, also all other
county officials. il means that there
will be considerable changing and
shifting.
There were several high state Off
cials compelled To shift their stenogra-
pliers, clerks, etc, on account of the
law also.
In municipalities the same practice
OF using relatives as deputias and
clerks prevails, in order "to keep as
much money in the family" as possible,
the cities are also due to see new faces

Two Sides to the Question.

The dry, backward spring is discour-
aging some, and We fear few will be
frightened to the extent of being los
ers in the game. Just wait minute
and look the situation squarely in the
face. From Missouri. Kentucky, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Indiana and other
states comes the long-faced tale OF
drowned out" In these states, il
many OF US were there, we would have
from $4.oO to SO 90 cash rent looming
up before US, and the majority Of
farmers prefer being too dry than too
wet. Now, il the rented farms are
large enough, one years rent would
pay for farm here. Don't let little
adversely get the better OF your judg-
ment. Think of the four or five pros
porous seasons we have had in success
sion. Adverses will come in any coun-
try, and dry seasons must be expected
in this section Farmers must study
conditions more When you see a
field Of wheat that will make a good
crop on one farm, and just over the
fence failure, the trouble must nee
essarily be in the farming and not in
the climatic effect. Some farmers tell
us their wheat will be better than last
year. while other fields, we are sorry
to say, will be failure. But the
fields where the wheat has been killed
will be in excellent shape for other
crops. and il you get your planting
done by July first, It will be early
enough to make crops of all kinds yet,
This may be profitable year for our
farmers. Don't give up.-Cosmos Pio-
neer.
