REGISTER RIGHT
AWAY, IS ADVICE
OF COUNTY CLERK

Citizens who wish to exercise
their privilege of voting at the re-
call elections. which will undOubted-
" be held this fall, are advised by
County Clerk Mousseau to register
at once, in order that they may be
eligible to vote.
Under the California law, no cit
izen may vote unless he has been
properly registered in the precinct
in which he resides. All registra-
tions are cancelled on January l of
every even numbered year. Per
sons who have not registered since
January |, 1924 must do so in order
to be eligible to vote at the recall
elections. Also, those who have
changed their residence since Janu-
ary /, 1924, must. register again
in the precinct in which they now
reside, or they will not be permitted
to vote.
Registrations can now be made at
the office of the county clerk. Lat
er it is possible that deputies will
be appointed to solicit registrations,
though this is not assured. BY at
tending to the registration matter
at once, the county clerk says, vot-
ers will be less likely to overlook
this important necessity.

We have learned to prune the individual tree

PLAN CAMPAIGN
AGAINST LEWD
PUBLICAT ION s

LOS ANGELES, May 20.-Postal
inspectors launched campaign to-
dav to stop the influx of indecent
literature, said to be popular on
local newsstands.
Clark f. Webster, chief inspector
for Southern California, said tons
of lewd magazines were being mail
ed or shipped into Los Angeles ev-
cry month. He conferred today
with U. S. Attorney Samuel Nc
Nabb, and imtimatod that steps
would be taken to bar certain obs
Gene matter from the mails.
"We intend to take immediate
steps to determine if any of this
master is being mailed,' said Web
sted, "and if our investigation re-
veals that it is, the. literature will
be promptly barred, and is senders
prosecuted.
In connection with the above, it
was stated at the post office today
that there are very few magazines
being received here through the
mails that can be considered sala-
cious. Practically all magazines
received in FL Ceutro for sale, come
BY express.
Inquiry at news-stands developed
the information that the dealers
would just as soon not carry the So
called ''outlaw magazines, but
much to the dl@redit of FL Centre
there seems to be q demand for
them, and as long as they are pub
lished those desiring to read them
will obtain them, either through sub
scriptions or otherwise.
NO information had been received
that would indicate that FL Centre
is to be included in the ''clcan
up" campaign, and it is believed
tnat the post office inspectors will
confine their efforts to the larger
cities.
