Don It throw them into brush, leaves,
or needles.
3. Makig Camp. Build small
camp fire. Build it in the open, not

Scrape away the trash from all
around it.
4. Leaving Camp. Never leave a
camp fire, even for short time,
without quenching it with water
and earth.
5. Borfires. Never build bon
fires in windy weather or where
there is the slightest danger of their
escaping from control. Don't make
them larger than you need.
6. Fighting Fires. If you find a
fire, try to put it out. If you can t
get word of it to the nearest U. S.

Horseback Riding
Popular Pastime

Next to motoring, horseback rid
ing is easily the most popular sport,
the great open spaces and exhilar-
sting mountain atmosphere inviting
one to engage in outdoor pastimes
as much as possible. Deer, quail,
rabbits, doves and wild ducks tempt
the hunter, while black bass and
rainbow trout lure the fisherman.
Most of the mountain resorts
maintain strings of intelligent and
welltrained saddle horses, number
have swimming pools, and pract-
ically all have facilities for dancing.

DON'T FORGET
YOU r G. A NJ P
FIRE PERMIT

Any one contemplating camp
ing trip to the mountains, should
bear in mind he must first obtain
a campfire permit. These may be
gotten at the various offices of the
Auto Club of Southern California.
This permit is necessary, whether a
fire is built in the open or in a
fireplace or stove. One member in
a party may have permit for all
but that one person is held respon-
sible for the acts of all.
Reminders are also stuck on the
wind shield bearing the inscription,
81 put my camp fire out Did you?'
Everyone should cooperate in the
protection of our forests.

Jazz at Jacumba

The lifting tunes of jazz or the
more stately strains of the beauti-
full "Blue Danubeo are all played
in manner to court the most un-
willing feet by Johnny Earl's ori-
ginal orchestra that has been en-
gagged to play this season at the ia
cumba Dance Pavilion. The new

make this place second to none and
have engagedsthe services of Lawr-
ence X. Winer, formerly of the Cor
onado Tent City and just recently
from the east, as manager. Mr..
Winer has had several years ex-
perience in the. management of
high class dance halls and promises
the public the very latest in dancing
innovations. Novelty stunts will be
put on from time to time and sever
al prize dances will be staged. The
ball room has been newly decorated
and presents a veritable fairyland
appearance. 'The people of the

1T is another popular diversion. ..
Telephone Now In
One big improvement that will
be welcomed by home owners and
transient visitors alike is the tele-
phone, that has been put in since
last year. This puts the camp in
direct connection with homes in the
valley or elsewhere and 'Sdad =

Little trading featured IN wheat at
the opening and prices remained un-
changed at last nights closing level,
despite increased export sales over
night and strong Liverpool cables.
Traders exhibited some apprehension
over the statement issued by Secre-
tary Wallace which said IN effect
that grain prices are out Of line with
other commodities and unless some
thing is done to remedy the situation
many farmers face bankruptcy. He
advocated lower freight rates Until
fair relationship is restored between

lace said.
Corn met heavy resistance after an
opening advance. Receipts continued

Crop news was favorable, many dis
