Mr. and Mrs W. G.. Fields, former
residents Of Beaver. live on their

twenty-six miles from Los Angeles.
Mrs. Fields mother, Mrs. Walker. also
formerly of Beaver. was with them.
or course we were out to see them and
they spent much OF the time with US
while We were in California. They
have q nice home and one OF the best
orange groves in that section. They
seem satisfied and contented aud are
certainly dong well but they told US
with all that, their thoughts returned
often to old Beaver and they felt
they'd like to return and spend time
at least with frieLds here. We spent
several days in their delightful home
and fessted to our hearts content on
their delicious oranges to say nothing
OF the sumptuous dinners which Mrs.
Fields and her mother prepared for US.

joyed our sea-bathiug. We spent two
weeks at this popular resort and while
here Miss Wickhsm and the writer
learned to swim. We do not claim to
be experts yet by any means but we
felt quite elated over the fact that we
even learned to paddle" little bit.
We expect to grow in proficiency.
From Venice we started on our re-
turn trip home, leaving there Satur-
day. July 29th. and going as far as
Fields where we had dinner and spent
the afternoon going on to San Bernsr-
dino that evening. Our trip home was
without incident. We were in no
great rush so took our time and laid
over an hour or so or half day when
we felt like 1t, reaching home We'd

could very easily have made the trip
in eight days, or even less had we
wished to do so.
We announced in the beginning that
we did not expect to dwell at length
on a description Of our trip but once
started. it seemed hard to find a place
to stop and the article has now exceed
ed far what space we had expected to
occupy and yet there is much of inter-
est that ight well be said. However,
We believe that We have given our
readers general idea of that section
and an account Of at least few of the
many wonderful and beautiful sights

for themselves and will agree that it is
all and more than we hsve depicted it,
Others expect to take the trip at some
future time and TO all such we say, 60
You'll never regret it. We were glad
to go, enjoyed every moment Of the
time and we're glad to get home again.
After all there's no place like home.

PIE ON BREAKFAST
MENU At LOOKUP:
That Is 1t Is When Jolly Tom
Ford is Doing the
Honors.

Five roustabout boys appeared at
the city lookup last night and asked
for lodging for the night. The young
sters were from Uniontown and were
on their way TO have good time, but
did not know where they were going
They were given nights lodging
and about 10l o'clock this morning
began to get uneasy as they wanted
to get out OF jail. They asked some
one to call Tom Ford, the traffic cop
at Jefferson and Main streets, and
Tom answered the call.
Arriving at the Jail, Tom asked the
boys what they wanted to eat. Their
eyelids opened like swim ging doors and
their eyes almost popped out or their
heads. Each began yelling his choice
OF a bilI-of.fare and soon there was
such a turmoil that the policeman had
to fix his own bIof-fare and send IL

Strengthened Up when his meal had
disappeared and was about to leave
the festive table, which was a bench,
when the policeman asked him II he
wanted pie. "Good God, man, yes! It
there any pie in this world?" Tom got
them some pie and after each had
finished, one OF them remarked: Gee,
they don't treat a guy dis good every.
where. This WINS likely his form Of
giving thanks.
The boys. after eating. were better
able to tell their respective tales,
which varied to great extent. But
the only information CLEANED from
them was that they were out for a
lark and were going home. Before tile
officer would let them out Of Jail he
bought each one Of them a postal card
and made them send a note to their
mothers, which each was glad to do.

POOR OLD UNCLE SAM

Some years ago when the city put in the cluster lights
along State and Court Streets the Postal Department
made contract with the electric light company under the
terms of which four cluster lights put in the
posoce grounds and the department agreed purchase
lights for them for period of five years at the end Of
which time the clusters and posts became the property Of
the government and under the charge of course of the
department.
This contract ran out some time ago and the depart
ment refused to longer pay for the lights the posoce
yards now, after the goes down. and unless the
moon is shining as dark as the ways Of a government
official.
The city pays for the lights around the block owned by
Uncle SAM he being the only privileged character in the
city and getting his lights free In spite of this some in
spector with less brains than salary up this way
saw that the government being robbed by the city of
Salem and the light company and having reported the
infamous proceeding this expense was cut Off
OF course Uncle Sam is poor and needs all the money
he can gather in to pay salaries to useless officials and
cannot afford to pay electric light bills So the postoice
gm was doused and $11 month saved for the salary
grabbers.
1t is pleasant to know that in some American bosoms
there still remains deep and abiding patriotism that
looks after the countys affairs and prevents going into
bankruptcy Still one cannot help but think thatthe
Capital City of the state that pays for the lights al
around the governments property would not be asking
too much in requesting it to shed few rays the
gloom Of the postofice block and pay for the same.
