UNITED STATES

Report. that the United States
Land office in this city may be
abolished, provided congress passes
the interior department supply bill
which provides for the discontinue
ance of 80 land offices throughout
the country, would hardly seem
authentic in view of the importance
of the local office as shown by
figures in the Interior Department
reports ON file in the office.
The report of entries patented
for the fiscal year ending June 80
1928, show that only one other of
flee in California exceeded the local
office, that one being at Los AEge-
les. Only Is offices in the. t.htire

The total number of offices in the

The total earnings of the Cali
-fornia offices show that the Ell Gem
tro office is exceeded in the state
of California only by Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento and vi
salia. Only two offices in the state
have less expenses than FL Centre.
There are 3,479,104 acres of land
unappropriated and unreserved, in
the district covered by the FL Cen
tro office. Only the Independence,
Los Angeles and Nisalia offices ex-
coed the area of the local office in
the state of California. FL Cen
tro s area exceeds the San Francis
co office by two and one-half mil
lion acres, the Susanville office by
two and quarter million acres
and the Visalia office by three aud
one quarter million acres.
More Land Here
There is more vacant land in
the FL Centre office area than in
the area of three fourths of the 9th
er offices in the United States. The
figures given above for the Ell Cen,
tro area do not include Indian re-
aud national forests. APP
100000 acres, included
in these figures, is in territory
that will be made reelaimable by

IS expected to be unusually heavy.
The fact that there is a govern
nent land. office in Ell Centre, has
'osulted in a great saving to those
vho have filed on lands, otherwise
hey would be compelled to go to
Los Angeles to transact business
with the government, entailing con-
siderably expense and loss of time.
The Ell Centre office was author
lied by u special act of congress

NEW PRINTS AND COLORS
IN NEW SPRING LINES

\ most interesting and attractive
line of new silk prints win be offer
ed to the public this spring, it is
rumored. They will differ in de-
sign and color scheme from last
years prints, though they will have
warmth aud beauty.
A notable designer comes forward
with the assertion that geometri'
designs are TO take the place of the
Oriental motifs, and that dotted eff
fects will predominate in the new
lines.
Three-tiered effects, borders and
stripes will<be vogue. Coloring in
these new prints, it is promised,
will be more suitable than in any
previous prints manufactured, but
extremely simple.
The fad for plaids, so marked in
the winter mode, is understood tc
l,c likely to continue its popularity
in the spring showing.

Even with an impounding law, the

he has seen the impoundng law in

There is sorrow all around me,
there is want in every street, and
the wailing beggars hound me for
some things to wear and eat. There
are orphans in the alley, there are
widows in the parks, and I trust the
gods keep tally while | hand them
German marks. There are cripples
sadly dragging shriveled limbs about
the town. sufferinga grief unfiag-
ging, and | cannot turn them down.
There are men by fortune beaten,
and they tell, while drifting by, of
the weeks since they have eaten, of
their longing for a pie. Oh, the
busted ones are screeching for a
doughnut or a coat, and my hand
is always reaching for kopeck or
a groat. Oft | hear of starving
races, yearning for can of peas,
in the distant jump-of places far
beyond the rolling seas. Oftentimes
my good Aunt Dinah asks me for a
round doubloon; there is want in
Cochin China, there is grief in the
Gaboon. All along the Congo River
people suffer, day and night, and she
asks me to deliver some poor native
from his plight. There are weeping
gents and ladies in the town of Tim
buctoo, in the lower wards of Cadiz
many people have the flu. But her
pleas for my assistance leave me cold
as frozen Nome; why hunt trouble
in the distance when we've loads of
it at home? Since | cannot help the
wailing from Spitzbergen to Johore,

the man who walls next door.

RUSSIANS LOSE FIGHT
AT POSTAL CONGRESS
Members Refuse Separate Votes for
Each State. in Soviet
-
Union.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daiy
News. Copyright. 1924.
STOCKHOLM, August 8.-The eighth
Universal Postal Congress in session
here has turned down the applica-
tion of Soviet Russia for four votes
in the executive council, "one for
each of the autonomous states that
form the Federation of Soviet Rus
sian Republics" The argument of
the Russian delegation was that so
long as England and other countries
with dominions and colonies were en-
titled to more than one vote. Russia
was entitled to four, although Russia
favored only one vote for each coun-
try-represented.
The local Communist organ COM
ments on the incident as follows:
Democracy is an unknown word at
the International Postal Congress.
This has been shown by the tactless
and irrelevant criticisms of Soviet
Russia insinuated into the meetings
by the French delegation. There has
been some discussion as to how many
votes each country should have. In
1920 Switzerland proposed one each,
colony. When Russia asked one vote
was refused the extra votes, while
England was, given another vote for
Ireland. The question was a political
one and not a postal question, and
the chairman of the congress, Gen.
Williamson of England, supports this
anti bolshevist policy"
