WHfSKEY MAKERS
WITH THE ALLIES
(By Associated Pr, ss)

Louisville, May 2.-Kentucky dis
tilleries, with maximum output of
$4,000 bushels of cornmeal or rye
flour day from 167 corn mills, are
ready to begin grinding food for the
folks at home, while the white flour
goes to the Allies and American SOL
diers at the front.
! Owsley Brown, chairman of the JEFF
ferson County Council of National De-
fense, has reported to the State Fed
eral Food Administrator, F. NJ. Sack
ett, on the number of mills and their
location, with detailed data on each,
which ha sheen volunteered by dis
tillers as result of Mr.. Browns can
vass. These mills, when available,
will be concentrated at various points
in groups of ten or a dozen, where
grain will be shipped in trainload
quantities.
| 81 know from letters from the own
ers of these mills" said Mr.. Brown,
"that they are willing to sell, loan
or give these mills to Uncle Sam"
| Three of the mills are available for
grinding corn. Any of them can grind
rye flour.
The mills altogether have an aver
age output of 15,440 bushels an hour,
but can be speeded up to $4,000 bush
els. Those in best condition and on
railroads will be transferred when the
government needs them. Old distil-
lsry plants will be used for corn mills.

COW NOT
A BIT PAT RIOT |C
(By Associated Press)

Sacramento, May because the
family COW has refused to abide by
the daylight saving law, but instead
adheres strictly to sun time, and by
so doing delays the milking and
causes school children, especially those
in the country districts, to be late
for class, the State Board of Educa
ton, according to Will c. Wood, COM
missioner of secondary education, is
considering a readjustment of school
hours. A flexible rule permitting
schools in the country districts to adj
just their hours to the requirements
of farm life is being considered as a
solution to the problem, Commission
er Wood announced.

PENNANT RACE
IS INTERESTING

San Francisco, May 2.-The end of
the third week of the Pacific coast
league pennant race saw Vernon, Sac
ramento and Oakland leading in the
order named. San Francisco, Salt
Lake and Los Angeles, with pre-sea-
son paper ratings as being the three
most likely teams in the circuit, occu-
py the cellar division.
| Oakland slipped from first to third
place, the slump in its percentage be-
ing from 692 to $50. Incidentally, it
lost its first series of the season. All
Of this was at the hands of Sacrament
to, which used the Oaklanders as a
stepping stone from fourth to second
place in the league, incidentally fat
tening its average from AT to $50
per cent.
Los Angeles has lost its third
straight series and its percentage fig
ures gradually have been going down
, until the end of the third week saw it
with only percentage of $50 to it's
credit.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Vernon club lost its first series of the
season to the San Francisco team, the
Southern California team maintained
its lead. The Seals ended the week
with margin of one game to the
good, the series standing to 8 games
and although it won the series San
Francisco dropped from the first into
the second division.

SUCCESS IN ARIZONA
PLANTING CASTOR BEANS

Secretary Madison, of the county
farm bureau, this morning received a
communication from Arizona stating
tina the farmers in that state had had
great success raising India castor
beans last year. The farm bureau is
now enlisted in the castor bean grow
ing propaganda, and is doing all it
can to assist President Johnson of the
Southern California Castor Bean as
sociation, who has signed up nearly
1000 acres for the growing of the
beans. He is presiding at meeting
at Imperial today. William P. Hall,
one of the county committee on castor
bean raising, is helping greatly in the
work.

SEA CULLS ARE
|NTELL| L|GENT
tBy Associated Press)

Seattle, May 2-That the sea gull
is one of the most intelligent of birds
is asserted by Ensign H. NJ. Delanty
of the naval training station here. The
officer says that while on recruiting
duty in an automobile recently, he
and his party found, far inland, a
lone sea gull, sitting on fence post,
apparently registering despair, hav-
ing flown so far inland that it had
seemingly lost its way back to salt
water, if such were possible. On see
ing the machine filled with blue clad
men-o'-warsmen, the gull, with a
weird cry that might have expressed
recognition of the familiar uniform,
flapped of fthc post and followed the
car, which was headed in westerly
direction toward the sea. When the
party stopped at a small town for
dinner, the gull continued his flight to-
ward the general direction of the near
est arm of the ocean.
