year." said H. G. Wallace, publisher
Most of the reports OF corn being
fired, have come from the southern
part Of the state, where much OF the
crop is being cut and used for feed
ing. In the northern part OF the
state, where a large part of the corn
was planted late, reports indicate a
good yield.
From reports we have received
from different parts Of the state, we
estimate a yield this year Of about
thirty bushels to the acre. Accept.
ing the governments corn acreage
figures, OF ten million acres, which is
nearly a million acres greater than
the states figures, this would mean
crop Of three hundred million
bushels. Our estimate OF the coun.
try's yield is 1900, 100000 bushels.
THE condition Of the crop this
year has been largely due to scatter.
ing rains, which have been beneficial
to only small areas throughout the
state. A general rain could have
saved thousands of acres OF corn, es.
pecially in the central pare OF the
state, where UP until week ago the
crop was in fair condition"

Just Because She Loves Him.

In the September American Maya
zine Katherine Holland Brown, writ
ing story entitled Aunt Jane and
the Lion-Tamer," tells about girl
named Elizabeth Ann who is going to
marry a man named Jerry Ledyard.
Jerry Is somewhat of pioneer and Is
going to take his bride as far away
as Ecuador on business adventure
which may or may not turn out well
This does not disturb Elizabeth Ann
in the least, however. 1t does not
seem sensible that Elizabeth Ann
should do this, but she is going to do
It just the same. Her brother puts II
this way to her:
"T don't give a whoop for In
stances. The fact remains that you're
going to leave us all, and go streak
ing off to the ends of the earth with
that visionary cub. You'll put ur
with all sorts of privations, and nev
er realize how miserable you are, just
because you think he's the whole
thing. Worse, you'll keep right or
thinking he's the whole thing. You'll
shut your eyes to his failures, you'll
gloat over his successes, you'll sticl
by him like glue. And no mattel
how tough life you must face II
that wilderness, you'll bluff it out ant
pretend you love 1t. I know you

THE DONS OF THE OLD PUEBLO.

This thrilling love tale opens with
the marching of the columns OF
Stockton and Fremont into the adobe
built pueblo of Los Angeles. From
the window of the home Of Don Jose
Antoni Arillo leaned his daughter
Loreto, the most beautiful girl in the
pueblo. "Soul-thrilled painters, sing.
ers, and sculptors had seen such as
she in their minds ideal only to de.
SPAR of reproduction on canvas, In
verse, or in marble" Jack Carroll, a
lieutenant in the American army
catches a glimpse Of Loreto and
straightway l1ses his heart. Then
follow intrigue and bloodshed and all
the strange ways of love and war;
but the romance ends happily.
The story is based on historical
facts It is a careful study Of Old
California, and represents the dis
heartening struggle of the Spaniard
against the invasion Of Americans
| The contrast of dispositions and temp
eraments is finely brought out an6
many of the scenes thrill and fascin
ate, for the story is powerful and
gripping. History and romance are
well blended and the book is written
! with singular lack of prejudice
against either of the opposed forces
| The Dons of the Old Pueblo
should make strong appeal at the
present time when many are plan

Beneath whose awful hand we hold

Lest we forget-lest we forget!

The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice

Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-called, our navies melt away;

Lest We forget-lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight OF power, we

All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And, guarding, calls not Thee to
guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!

quite active this year in charity work.
The ycung ladies were on hand early
in the day and started TO unpack the
dolls from their boxes. a pile nearly
four feet deep lay in the back hall Of
the Chamber OF Commerce.
Owing to the fact that the dolls
had been in the store room for some
time they had all managed to get
their faces more or less dirty, while
some mussed up their hair and 9TH
ers got their shoes scuffed. To rem
edy these little bits of untidyness the
Phi Sig girls got busy TO put the dolls
in shape TO receive company when
Santa Claus calls for them next week.

JEWS TO OBSERVE FEAST
OF CHANUKKAH SUNDAY

One of the most interesting holidays
in the Jewish calender, known as
Chanukkah, the feast of dedication,
viii be observed at Temple Beth-E
Sunday, Dec. 90 The celebration this
year begins on Saturday evening, Dec.
i, and lasts eight days. Rabbi
Cronbach will speak at the local cele-
bratiOn on Light To the World" The
feast will also be observed i'm the
Bethel Sunday school. The holiday
is eagerly looked forward TO by the
children of the Jewish household for
1t has in a large measure come to be
children's festival.
The historical background OF the
celebration is found in the fact that
in the year 165 b. G.. Judas Macca-
beus, one OF the few martial heroes
in Jewish history, re-dedicated to the
service Of the one God, the Temple
at Jerusalem after its pollution by
AntiOchus Epiphanes. who had set up
in place OF Gods altar, a shrine TO
mis- heather god. Just three years
after this pollution, on the 18th day
of the month of Kislev. the Temple
was reclaimed and re-dedicated TO
the service of God.
One legend is to the effect that
when the Temple was re-dedicated

eight successive nights. For this rea-
son Jews light candles in their homes
in celebration Of Chanukkah for eight
successive nights, one on the first
night, two on the second, and so on.
There is a theory that even before
the historical event which Chanukkah
celebrates, the feast had been OBJ
served by Jews as the beginning of
the winter solstice, and that its origin
is common with that OF the Christian
Christmas
