DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE

A valuable move towards the pro
lection and development Of Califor-
MIA s greatest source of wealth was
the creation on May 16, 1919, of a
State Department of Agriculture. G..
II. Hecke, appointed, July %, 1919,
is director of the department, which
now consists of eight important sub
divisions: plant quarantine and pest
control, fruit and vegetable stan
dardization, field crops, dairy con-
troll, animal industry, markets,
weights and measures, and division
of chemistry. Regular employees
number almost 400, and during
heavy seasons over 500 are often
employed. The value of the depart
ment to the state is inestimable,
particularly in such instances as
the hoof and mouth epizootic Of
1924, and in the constant pest and
disease control and quarantine pro-
lection.

GEN. MITCHELL AGAIN

Brig. Gen. Mitchell, formerly of the American avia-

convention of the American Legion, of which he is
deservedly honored member he made his old plea for
4 unified government air service in this country
der special cabinet officer
His resolution started fight among the legion
yares in Paris as it has always done among Amer-
Scans at home The veterans seemed to agree with
him pretty well the principle of the thing but many
of them not of his method The
vcntion finally adopted his recommendation modified
to read as "as soon as warranted"
at has been proved" argued Mitchell, 'that
$4,000 arplane destroy in few hours $75,000
900 worth of battleshps.' He pointed out that Eur
ope is honeycombed with "socalled commercial air
lines which from night to morning may be turned in
to military weapons" while the United States has
bHen doing little in that field.
The chief difference between Gen. Mitchels at-
tude and that of many other Americans regarding
ation is that he is in more of hurry.
Lndbergh lately has been accomplishing far more,
OF practical nature, than Mitchell has been able to.
That is probably partly luck and partly method.
Iindbergh has gift for not antagonizng people,
when they differ with him. He is doing wonders for
the building up of commercial aviation in America. It

made "Canada Dry" the outstanding ginger
ale success of all time.
Somehow it seems as if the very spirit of

bubbles and dances like a time-mcllowcd

"Canada Dry" is better, finer ginger ale
because we make very definite efforts to have
it so. In the purity and quality of its ngrc-

which it is made, it stands absolutely alone.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-With ev-
cry one whispering in their ears
that they didn Il have a chance, with
professional money being offered
that they weren't good enough by
three touehdowns to win, poor
little Navy eleven had to be thrown
in against a powerful Army eleven
here today in the annual Inter-S Ser
vie Classic and the ornamental fin
ale of the eastern football season.
The Navy, so it might seem, had
to 90 into the game against all those
tremendous odds because playing
the Army is a part of military pro
gram and routine and because some
10000 persons, including high hats
from Washington and Service some
how had been able to get tickets.
The ticket office of the New York
Giants, owners of the polo grounds
where the Cadets and Midshipmen
are to do or die for dear old Army
and dear old Navy estimated that
they could have sold 100000 seats

The army was five to three fav-
orite in the betting and some of the
second lieutenants who did not want
to take an undue advantage of an
ensign were offering even money
that the cadets would win by two
touchdowns.
The Army's bets did look good
when they were placed on back
field including Harry Wilson, eagle
and Murrell and line with two
great ends and an all eastern tackle.
