PHEASANTS ON
ATEN'S RANCH
AT CALIPATRIA

The Ira ID. Aten ranch west of
Calipatria is presenting an interest
ing sight these days, with birds the
size of a large bantam hen, long
tail and light brown plummage,
darker around the neck and specklcd
with red, black, green and blue,
roaming about. Hunters are warned
not to shoot any of these birds, as
they are ring-neckcd Chinese
pheasants 'planted last week by
August Bade, superintendent of the
state game farm at Yountville.
These rare birds are protected at
present by state game laws until
such time as they become plentiful
enough to afford excellent sport for
hunters.
The male birds will be readily
recognizable by mid-November, ac-
tording to Badc, with their tail
plummage about IS inches in length
and of brilliant red hue. The ring
necked pheasant is one of 42 species,
I'll natives of Asia. They were select
ed as the most desirable game bird,
10000 having been hatched at the
1ountville farm and released in
various parts of the state since
August, 1926. An average nest in
eludes from 10 to Is eggs with the
average brood raised numbering
eight birds.
Farmers are advised that these
pheasants are not grain eaters, sub
sisting largely on insects and
grasses, and are wide foragers, be-
ing sighted as far as - miles from
the point at which they are released.
They feed carly in the morning and
in the late afternoon, hiding out
during the middle of the day.

Typhoon Hits 100000
Peasants

MANILA, Philippine Islands, Nov.
28.-Over 200 Philippine peasants
are known d-ad and many more are
believed to have persisted as a re-
suit of the typhoon which swept the
islands from last Thursday until
Saturday. On the island of Leyte
alone 10000 peasants are homeless
and their whole means of susten-
ance destbyed.
The areas which were most sew
erely hit by the 100 mile per hour
gale are inhabited by over 100000
peasants and most of their belong
ings, meagre huts, fields and what
ever live stock was theirs have
probably been destroyed.
The typhoon even seemed to
help United States dollars, for
whereas crops of hemp, cocoanut
and rice-the main staple of the
peasants-were entirely destroyed
the large sugar plantations were
barely touched.

failing of Communists
Arouse Movement
Red Aid Press Service J

TOXIC, Japan, Nov. 28.-The
large Communist trial which re-
Gently took place in Okajama and
which ended with hundreds of years
of prison sentences, is only a link
in a long chain of trials in Japan.
There took place in Toxic, in the
middle Of September, a conference
Of the members of the military
court. Shortly after the end of this
conference there took place in ten
cities mass expressions and ar
rests. The government carried
through. these prosecutions from
fear of the results of the mass trial
of the Communists. But in spite of
this tactic Of the government the
revolutionary workers organiza-
tons have taken up the battle.
AS early as March, at the time
of the Japanese Intervention in
China and the accompanying perse-
cution of the Japanese Communists
ard the banning of three left mass
organizations, the government has
attempted to isolate the working
class from their leaders and to
handicap the revolutionary workers
organizations, in order to hinder the
real reasons for intervention from
reaching the broad masses of work
ers and peasants.
In spite of the hopes of Premier
Tanaka that these Communist ar
rests would hinder the revolutionary
these prosecutions have
only led to the further development
of this movement and the class
struggle. In spite of its illegality
the Communist Party Of Japan car
ries on tremendous activity. The
working masses, under the pressure
of sharpened oppression, are joining
the revolutionary movement more
and more. The various revolution
airy mass organizations continually
grow in numbers.
The recent mass trial in Japan
has clarified the workers and they
will be in the fight of the japanese
working class against the provoca-
lion of the bourgeoisie and the
preparations for a new offensive
war.
