is. Of course, to get the industry into
the field, and then so help nurse it
through its first and doubtless diff
cult years.
II Is not always best to sit around
and wait for industries to come to
you.
Civic organizations should figure
out what a town needs, what IL can

BARREDA STATION. which is
only five miles from San Benito
where an inch of rain fell Friday

died.
The owner. having located his
mules. or one Of them. promptly put
In claim for the two Of them.
The county attorney informed the
finder that he would have 70 pay
S12o for the dead mule.
The finder wondered why.
He was told that he would have 10
pay because he had failed 60 adver-
fise the fact that the mules had
been found.
A little 30-cent classified ad about
the mules would have made him the

After all. guess I was lucky that
I'D wasn't charged rent for the mule
that lived" he said.
