Berkeley, Calf, June 5, 1925.


My Dear Editor:
We are a long way off, but like to
keep up with things doing in Grant
county if we can, and I enclose you
my check for THE HERALD.
We see very few Grant county peo-
pie in this part of California. 1 am
sure that some who go to the Southern
part of the state would much prefer
the north half should they investigate
it thoroughly. We have more season
able rains, business is much more
stable and climatic conditions are bet
ter. Fruit is better and much of it
ripens two weeks sooner than it does
in the south part of the state.
See War Fleet at San Francisco.
Mrs. Clark and myself visited the
great war fleet while it was in San
Francisco Bay. 1t was a wonderful
sight and food for much thought. We
often wished that all of Lancaster
could have enjoyed it and the Bay with
us. 1t gave us a much better under
standing of our navy and of the capac-
ity of the bay as a harbor. No doubt
but what this is the best harbOr on
the globe. All the vessels on the
seas and lakes could be anchored
therein with plenty of room left to
navigate about.
We have been having very season.
able rains. In fact it was little over
done so far as our personal comfort
was concerned recently.
On Decoration day Mrs. Clark and
myself went up on Russian river, some
70 miles on camping trip to return
Monday. Just after leaving home a
black cat crossed the road ahead of
us. Within a few blocks another one
attempted it, but I chased it back and
nearly ran over it. Directly it began
to rain and continued until we got

BIG CANNING FACTORY

amounting to 100000 in value went out
to farmers here this spring. AS seed
was high and scarce the top price was
15c a pound While the crop will be
curtailed due to drouth and cold, fair
average is looked for.
The Cobb factory is big affair. 955
acres are in peas and $40 in sweet
corn. The last is a new departure with

husking shed and II huskers. New pea
stations have been erected convenient
to nearby farmers. The factory be-
gins operations next week. It's opera

Wisconsin peas are known the
world over for excellence. Southern
Wisconsin soil, such as Cobb has, pro-
duces as good as any in the state.

BLACK CAT HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR BAD LUCK ON CAMPING TRIP
home, excepting about six hours.
Loses Wife and Auto.

There are seven canyons where we
went and thousands go there camping
for the weekend. We got separated
from the rest of our party while en-
route. We could not find our friends
in the canyons, so parked Mrs. Clark
and the car by trail and Waded
through the rain and mud to make
inquiry. For the second time in all
my ramblings l lost the points of the
compass and incidentally lost my wife
and the car. After hours, l found her
Just at dark.
We found our party standing about
a campfire trying to keep warm. They
had one small tent, and one bed. The
rest of the outfit was in the express
office and we were too late to get it
out. We had but few bites to eat
and slept III the car. We soon got in
good shape the next morning.
We had a very enjoyable time just
the same.
You may not believe it, but the
black cat was surely responsible for
the rain and bad luck.
Invites Grant County Friends.
Come out and / can take you over
some of the most beautiful drives in
the world. 1t is hardly worth while
for one to travel to any great extent
unless they pass through Golden Gate.
1t costs no more to travel up or
down the coast by sea than by rail,
and it is a wonderful trip by sea, if
they can make their land legs turn to
sea legs and do not get sick, as Mrs.
Clark did.
Should you or any Grant county
folks come into San Francisco Bay,
remember that as you enter the Bay
through the Golden Gate, the House
of Clark can be seen directly over
the bow of the vessel some eight miles
away, on the west slope of the Berke-
ley Hills and about 800 feet above the
Bay where our front door is always
open to our friends.
The hills tower above us for thou
sand feet or more forming a wonder
full background for our city.
Come and see us.
Yours truly,
WILL A. CLARK.

COMMENCEMENT
SPEAKER FEARS
WAVE OF CRIME
Saws Law DisObedience Saps
Nation Despite Wealth.
Other Points.

William d. Saltiel, Chicago lawyer,
in his commencement address Tuesday
night laid considerable stress on crime
conditions in this country, probably
as a warning to graduates that on the
eve of citizenship they must do their
share toward lettering government.
The speaker evidently does not
think highly of reformers as he DIRE"
a sharp distinction between evolution
arv progress and reform, saying III
rhyme that he was glad the sun and
moon were fixed high in the heavens
as some Solemn ass would turn them
off and light the world with gas.
Mr.. Saltiel said Wisconsin had an
enviable position among the states as
being law-abiding. However, his tr1b-
ute to the states Progressive" leg1s-
lation fell on somewhat stony ground,
as Lancaster is stalwart town Sal
tiel didn't know it or hadn't been
posted.
Urges Respect For Law.
Speaking of the corrosive rust OF
law disobedience and crime, the speak
er said despite all of Americas wealth,
mower and prestige, this country would
break and go to pieces on the rock OF
contempt for law unless a change
was made. He does not believe in
sumptuary legislation, saying that
laws which are not easily susceptible
of enforcement and do not accord with
the conscience of the individual lead
to breaking of the law. From that
the confiagration starts which leads
to the breaking of all laws" The ref
erence to the Volstead act was plain
and unmistakable.
Three-fourths of the crime in Ameri-
ca is committed by persons under Il
wears. England has eight crimes to
the million population; Canada thlr-
teen crimes to the million population;
the United States ITO crimes to the
million population!
Crime Conviction Small.
In England IS percent of indicted
crimes result in conviction. In Amefl-
ca Is percent of indicted crimes re-
suit in conviction. The contrast is ap-
palling, Mr.. Saltiel said. The result Is
a laughing stock in other nations:
Democracy is on test and has SEEM
ingly fallen down"
All true efforts at betterment must
be made, not through laws, but
through cultivation of the heart ana
intelligence OF the lndlVldual: "A cldnle
commission questioning criminal after
criminal found that home influences
had been bad. Good citizenship be-
gins in the home, and rightly consld-
cred, ends there. The hearthstone IS
the true seat of government and
Americanism.
Mr.. Saltiel concluded with a plea to
the graduates to remember their obli-
cations seriously and to do their share
toward bringing about the golden age
of obedience to law, good government
and personal purity and happiness.
