RASPBERRY IS
HANDED OUT BY
GLENDALE HEAD
City Manager Of California Munich
palfty Figures Rock Island
Growing Steady by Jerks.

Frank Jones, the typical old time
hobo who entertained the police
with stories of his outlook on life
at the police station Wednesday of
last week. and who said that he has
quit wintering in California because
the climate is better in this local
ity, was right-the world is small
globe.
News gets from place to place
with astonishing swiftness. and
much is least expected.
A clipping of a local newspaper
found its way to Glendale, Calf
which is not astonishing, but City
Manager w. H. Reeves of Glendale
used it as a basis through Glen
offering of "raspberries" to this
city, and a former Rock Islander
living there, took up the cudgel, did
some clipping himself and forward
ed 1t to the home town, which, while
not astonishing, was hardly expect
ed, those who received the clippings
and letter of explanation say.
In a Glendale newspaper City
Manager Reeves is quoted as re-
peating figures for new building
work started in Rock Island dur
ing one week this winter The total
outlay that week was $3.50 and the
Glendale city manager declared that
Mayor Spencer Robinson and Coun-
Gilman Dwight w. Stephenson, who
he said formerly lived near Rock Is
land, would be 'tickled to death to
see that the old home town is still
on the map-going like a house
afire."
The city manager added other
spicy stuff in the interview which
was written under a headline, See
Rock Islands Rocky Times and Be
Glad. Glendale building more than
100 times faster"
Another article published in the
same paper sets forth that the rec
ord in building work for the month
of February, 1922, in Glendale, was
ITS permits for work to cost $421,-
$50. However. the same article
stated that things were not quite
so bustling in 1921. were worse in
1920 and that in I919-well, in 1919
things were so bad that the record
was Sc times smaller than this year
no, not so good that year. The
record was approximately 1888 in
February that year. In Rock Is
land for the same month of the
same year the record was S62 ,525,
and the building work scarcely gets
we'll under way in this locality IN
til in April. Approximately $4,000
900 was spent on building work that
year. The 1922 season is expected
to be good.

This fact was established recently
by Lee Roy Potter. whose station is

tried 10 receive messages from COM

Potter was at Fullerton for years.
he says. where ne had trouble hear

got reports from amateurs as far as
1000 miles north and east Of them.
The cause Of poor reception, Pot

Of the weak signals Potter got from
San Diego. go miles away. although
the San Diego amateurs were able
10 reach out 70 the north and east

Now. at his Antelope Valley sta

come in much stronger than other
citations he had heard at Fullerton
The reason for this he believes, is
