freak with long hair when every other woman is going around with shorn locks.
 The row upon row of cans on the grocer's shelves explains why so many women have time to play bridge-and who so many husbands wear that lean and hungry look.
 A woman always gets a thrill out of having q man take her for better or worse, but 1t makes her mad as a hornet when he begins taking her for granted after they have been married year or two.
 When a rich man marries a homely girl folks don't believe he was so blindly in love he couldn't see what he was getting, but they try to figure cut what kind of black magic the girl used to get him on her hook
 The reason a wife thinks her husband is a brute is because he isn't reasonable enough to admit that, by cutting down the grocery bill at least a dollar a week with her dieting. she is saving enough to entitle her to blow in $500 on a new coat
 Evidently one of the greatest needs of the day is a complexion that won't interfere with a woman having a good cry now and then.
 What father can't figure out when mother gets to boasting about all those finer men she could just as easily have married is what she had against him when she hooked him.
 A he-man is one who likes to be invited to places where he can rave over the meal they serve in- stead of places where his wife gets a chance to rave over the looks of the table.
 If mother had worn skirts So short that the vaccination mark above the knee would have been visible when father was courting her. his parents would have dis owned him if he had married her
 The old-fashioned fellow who would have considered it dis grace for his wife to workout side of the home, of eourse-now has a son who won't marry girl who hasn't a good jcb.

OUR LATIN AMERICAN INVESTMENTS

The importance of President-eect Hoover's visit to South America becomes apparent when 1t is realized that the United States has more than five billion dollars invested in Latin Am erica, including the mainland south of the Rio Grande and the Caribbean islands. This is con- siderably more than have invested in Canada and more than European holdings It is four times as much Latin American invest ments amounted to in 1912.
 In Cuba, where our investments were large sixteen years ago, they have increased since that time 536 per cent, and in South America the gain has been nearly 1000 per cent. The in- crease has not been so large in Mexico and Central America, though it has, been immense in all of them. Our investments in Venezuela alone are now as large the combined South American holdings in 1912

JEOP PARDIZING LIVES AND COMMERCE
 FOR PURCHASING.

Washington States Congressional delegation is up in arms because the Coast Guard Cutter Snohomsh has been transferred from Port Angeles to Astoria that the Algonquin of the same service might be transferred from Astoria tt San Francisco to aid in chasing down there The Pert Angeles News calls the attention of ths Washington Senators and Representatives to tho fact that the removal of the snohomish "places in Vancouver Island" etc.
 The Port Angeles paper continues:
 The News places no blame the Coast Guard. It might be a fine for our Congressman to stop yepping about Marines in Nicaragua, and the Muscle Shoals fertilizer dam, and swing into action for construction of several cutters
 The News also believes that during the stormy months of winter that Am ercan shipping and American lives great deal more to humanity than the fact that is into San Francisco. As matter of fact, rum will be into San Francisco anyway. One cutter twenty could not curb it at all.
 Shipping figures show that the Wash ington, Canadian and Alaskan shipping is many times greater than shipping i'll the Columbia River, yet one lone Senator has drag enough to swing a cutter away from patrol where she placed by an Act of Congress. Our devout wish is that some day We may elect with as large political following Senator McNary. And we hope he has humanity enough in his system to that both Washington and Oregon coasts pro- teeted

Stomach Troubles

There are many symptoms of
ulcers of the stomach, some of
which are typical chronic pain
which occurs from one to three or
four hours following the meal. 1t
is a sharp, cutting excruciating
type of pain, present as soon as the
stomach has emptied itself of food.
Chemically it is usually due to
a hyperacid secretion. We also find
a great deal of gaseous distention,
a feeling of discomfort, distress
and sometimes nausea which is
characteristic of this ailment." The

VALLEY LETTUCE
CROP REPORTED
in GOOD SHAPE

Reports from the California Crop
Reporting Service reveal that I'm
pcrial Valley lettuce acreage now
stands at 27,25O acres, according to
estimates by f. f. Kaufman, agri-
cultural statistician and Jack NJ.
Eakins, truck crop specialist.
No mention is made of the. recent
frost in the valley, which damaged
the present bloom of the pea crop
and the late melons. The report de-
clares a possible production this sea
sen will be between 20 to 80 per
cent greater than last season Twcn
tvfivc ears daily will be shipped
during the peak of the season.
These figures must be revised,
however, due to the carly frost
which killed about so per cent of
the present crop. About 60 per cent
Of the crop already maturcd at the
time Of the frost was able to be
salvaged. No shipments can be cx-
pected for at least two or three
weeks, except for small district
east Of Calipatria, which practically
escaped injury, less than per cent
Of the crop being lost.
The report states the condition of
the lettuce crop in Imperial Valley
at this time is somewhat better than
year ago, stands averaging higher.
Worms are causing some injury,
though the loss is less than in 1927
Yields per acre are expected to ex-
cced those Of the past two seasons.
First Shipment Soon
According to Kaufman the first
shipment may be expected between
December > and 10. He believes it
is doubtful if 90 to % ears daily are
exceeded before December %. Af-
ter that time shipments are expected
to increase rapidly.
Heavy rains the early part of this
month caused between % to 40 per
cent loss in the Sacramento and
Woodland lettuce districts and loss
is also reported in mature fields in
Salinas and Watsonville. Production
in the San Fernando district will be
less than last season and in the San
Joaquin valley cutting is expected
tc start December !, with a light
movement predicted
Preliminary estimates of winter
lettuce for the l928-29 season shows
