When Uncle Wiggily jumped down

the rabbit landed in what, at first
he thought was a bird 5 nest made
in a bunch OF dried grass under the

nest. but they were larger than any
bird : eggs Mr.. Longears had ever
seen.
And when in his jump he smashed
some of the eggs by sitting ON
them. and saw how much sticky
white and yellow juice was inside

A REMARKABLE CENTENARIAN

California should off its hat to Galusha
Cole of Pasadena, who observed yesterday, his one
hundred and second birthday
The number of those who reach the century mark in
life is indeed few Those who surpass it by couple of
years are even fewer. Mr.. Cole goes step fur
ther he into his one hundred and third year
active as man two three decades his junior.
Best of all, he finds life enjoyable at his ad
vanced age He does not sigh for the good old days
but is perfectly content with the modern which
in spite of all that is said about its Jazz hysera, is
worse than times that have past On the contrary it
is much better in many ways.
There are more people much happier than
there ever before. Instead of few directing the
lives of the masses living lives of ndoent while
the subjects struggled and shaved for them each man
is his master, living in peace and harmony with
his neighbor and free to make the most Of the oppor
tunites offered him.
Mr. Cole refuses to be frightened by the rush of
modernity. Instead he demands his place in the af
fairs of the present and hopes be able to do un
til the inevitable Grim Reaper catches with him. an
occurrence which would like believe is many years
in the future.
The east and other sections of the country might
ieer the assertion but little for Mr.. Coles
longevity is the mdness of the climate with which
California blesses him.

of police. The Los Angeles gunmen go him one better

TIME HAS PROVED
that the Exchange is the logical SELL
in9 outletfOr California citrus fruits.

CEASON by season. year by year, the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange has ex-
~ pcrienced steady increase in membership,
until now approximately y IS per cent of all
California citrus crops are marketed through
this one great cooperative organization.
This means that more than II 900 citrus grow
ers in California-threc out of every four
have found through thar cum ter5onaI experience
that the Exchange offers them the logical out
let for their fruit.
During the past five years 10 associations or
shippers have come into the Exchange
During the past year alone, such established
shippers as the Elephant Orchards, Redlands;
the L. V. w. Brown Estate and Riverside
Orchards at Riverside; Bradford Brothers,
Placentia; highland Citrus Association, High
land; El-Bar-Dor Citrus, Covina; Imperial
Valley Grapefruit Growers Association, Ell
Centric, after careful investigation and COM
parison, have Joined the Exchange.
The Hillside Packing Association, Lindsay;
Cooperative Citrus Association Exeter; Ca
noga Citrus Association, Owensmouth; Irvine
Valencia Growers, Orange Co.. Feather River
Citrus Groves, Oroville; Imperial Valley Citrus
Exchange, DraWley, ana CarPlnlCIld MUTUAL
Citrus Association, Carplnteria, are among
newly organized or reorganized units now
prohting from Exchange membership.
I'VE arc Joining the Exchange because we
want our growers to 10Y the full advantages
of Exchange distribution and marketing and
Sunkist advertising, which have been the big
factors in the success of the California citrus
industry. In other words, we are convinced
that through the Exchange we will receive
more money for our fruit, say the new
shippers.

Why you should Join
the Exchange

Competition in production, in improving the
quality of fruit, packing and handling is an
excellent practice. The Exchange system en-
courageS that.
But competition in selling means less profit for
all.
Cooperation in selling, on the other hand
means an evenly distributed crop.
1t means the securing of the highest prevailing
prices in the different markets of America and
abroad.
Itmcans decreased cost of production through
cooperative buying in larger quantities
1t means greater advertising campaign to
further increase the average per capita con-
sumption of citrus fruits.
1t means lower selling cost through larger
volume.
1t means more proft TO sp,ry grouer.
Past and present experience has now definitely
proved that more growers in the Exchange
means more money for all California citrus
fruits.

Wheat trade recently has been
almost entirely local and so narrow
that normal market factors have
failed to function. Many operators
are awaiting new influences before
taking an active part in the trade.
Sentiment generally is not so bear

is ready to take the lead in a bull

Corn has been acting stubborn in
the face of heavy receipts, For

many terminals are on previous
contracts and therefore without
effect on the cash market, which
has been ruling firm.
A substantial decrease in the Wis

strengthened the cash situation.

WILTON, Conn, Dec. 4.--Richard
Bennett, II, Norwalk high school
boy, was under contract today to
attend church every Sunday, abstain
from movies and earn $50 which he
must give away.
Bennett signed the agreement
with Justice Bessie G. Fischer Of
Wilton, after pleading guilty to a
series of minor robberies here. Ben
nett agreed to repay his victims with
his earnings. If he breaks the con-
tract he will automatically go to
Cheshire reformatory.
Edward Barrett of Georgetown,
accomplice of Bennett, signed a
probation agreement.
About two score high school boys
and girls who attended the trial at
Mrs. Fischer's home last night were
severely lectured.
"You have spent your fathers
money for gasoline and used your
fathers cars to come here" Mrs.
Fischer said. "You haven't, I dare
say, even earned spending money.
You, all of you, are no better than
these young men here"
