WHEN IGNORANCE WAS BLISS
How Elderly German Came to Pick the
Winning Number in
Lottery.

When the old Louisiana lottery was
still running full blast, the barber
shops and cigar stores in most parts of
the country dealt in the tickets for the
monthly drawings, and men, women
and children played.
One morning early an elderly Ger
man with a strong accent appeared in
the central part Of New Orleans seek
ing ticket No. 43. He put in several
hours hunting through the numerous
agencies of the lottery before he final
ly found "43" and bought it. When
the drawing was held, couple of
weeks later, the old Germans number
drew the capital pri&e. The next morn
ing he appeared ia the barber shop
where he had bought the number to
claim his reward.
The owner Of the shop, asked the old
man how he had happened to select
''43."

rEARLY TO BED" OBSOLETE
Benjamin FrankIin's Motto Does Not
Apply to Modern Life in 5usi-
ness World.

Early rising hours for students with
classes at 8 "a. IN. are recommended in
the annual report of the dean of Co
bumbia.
A sound and time-saving reform,
maybe for the academic world. But
1t reminds us that business Of recent
years has tended to begin the day
later and later without, SO far as can
be seen, any loss Of volume or eff
cheney, remarks the New York Eve
ming World. Time was when city
stores and Offices opened their doors
never later thar eight in the morning,
but todily visitor in this city would
find 1t hard work to transact much
business before nine or even ten. We
venture to say the number of New
York professional men who are at
their desks before ten o'clock in the
morning is not half what it was a gen
GRAFTON ago. Yet nobody would assert
that Tess work is done or that brain
workers are lazler than they used to
be.
The obvious explanation is, of
course, that labOr-saving devices, like
dictophones, typewriters, index sys-
TENS, etc, enable the modern business
or professional man to use the time his
father passed In pushing pen or
studying ledgers in concentrated, rap
id-fire attacks upon the days work
which disposes of It in half the time.
Correspondingly, the modern way Is
far more tiring. The tendency is to
begin the days task later and leave
it earlier.
Benjamin Franklin, whom we have
to thank for familiar sayings that hit
us hardest on the score of our late
habits, rose at five, went to bed at ten
and worked from seven to six. Today
there would be little trouble in pre-
pairing goodly list of citizens as capa-
Bile and successful as Franklin, many
of whom rarely show up at their Of
fees before eleven and leave for the
golf links soon after three.

East Front Believed Possible
(By Associated Press)


Zurich, Aug. 29.-Reports that
strong japanese forces have been con
centrating in Manchuria has been
given currency by the Bavarian news
papers, which speculate as to the pos
sibility of transporting them to the
Russian front. The newspapers agree
that it is possible.
A railroad runs from Manchuria to
the Russian front and the matter of
transporting an army from Manchu-
ria to the front would be an easy
matter.
Should Japan, with strong and
fresh troops enter the battle on the
Eostern front, it is believed that the
dangerous German advance into Rus
sia would be stopped, and If an active
campaign were started by the Japan
csc, German troops would be called
from the west to meet the dangerous
foe closing in from the east.
This speculation is heard in Bava-

Guy Urquhart and Porter McColloch
Reported Several Deer in San
Felipe Region

With the opening on Saturday, Sep
tember /, of the deer and duck sea-
son, the pulse of many a hunter has
been quickened and regardless of the
war weather, large number of
hunters are planning to GO to the
mountains for the opening of the
season.
Deer may be shot for thirty days
in district number four, which in
cludes Mono, San Bernardino, Los
Angeles, Orange, Riverside, 1meprial,
San Diego and Inyo counties. The
general opinion among local sports
men is to the effect that deer will be
more plentiful this year than last.
See Deer
Guy Urquhart and Porter McCol-
loch were on scout trip last week
and report sight of several deer in
the San Felipe creek district. The
recent appearance of the big game
has also been reported in the Vulcan
mountains near Julian, San Jacinto
mountains west of Mecca, Pine Valley
and Warren's ranch. The district
south of Mt. Springs, the district
north of Campo and on Cressa creek.
There are but few game preserves in
the mountains situated in Imperial
and San Diego counties and it is not
thought that these will in any way
spail any good deer country.
Dove Season Opens
The dove season opens September
1st, and will continue to November
30th, and according to reports from
ocal sportsmen, it is doubtful if the
season will open up with as many
doves in the country as last year. A
situation as regards shooting doves
exists in Imperial county that is diff
ferent from any other place in South
ern California, considering the fact
that the young doves are mature by
the first of August and by the time
September first arrives, the large
majority Of them have left the
county.

Lord Strathcoma described Earl
Grey as a "stateman and philan-
thropist in the best sense" His ac-
tive career comprised not only the
administration of the government of
Rhodesia and representation of the
British government as governor gen.
eral of Canada, but industrial and
financial operations in the develop
ment of South Africa. One of the
most noted movements to which he
gave support and in which he was
leading spirit was the Public House
Trust Company of England, an en-
terprise designed to supplant the or
dinary saloons for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor by the establishment of
well conducted public houses and to
discourage the use of intoxicants by
substitution of tea and coffee.
Earl Grey was an intimate friend
of the late Joseph H. Choate, Amer
lean ambassador to Great Britain,
often visited the United States, called
upon President Roosevelt and Taft
at Washington, and declared that he
was a lover of America. This senti-
ment he gave as his reason for re-
storing to the United States pic
ture of Benjamin Franklin which had
been in the possession of his family
since Earl Grey's great-grandfather
Major Charles Grey, was quartered
in Franklin's house in Philadelphia as
an officer Of General Howe's staff
