MORE STRIPED
BASS PLACED
In SALTON SEA

Another carload Of striped bass
was planted in Salton Sea yester.
day, under the direction of Arthur
Williams of the Imperial Irrigation
District of Caliratria, who offered
to unload, transport and plant the
fish. The second carload of fish
was obtained through the efforts of
Robert Hays, secretary of the FL
Centre Chamber of Commerce when
it was found that the mortality was
high in the first carload because
Of the DELAY in transportation.
BY special arrangement with the
Southern Pacific Company, the sec.
ond carload was shipped from Tracy
and arrived in INLAND ut I o'clock
yesterday afternoon in splendid
condition. The fish are shipped in
10 gallon containers, with a special
air compressor which pumps air into
each container through 4 rubber
hose. The car also is equipped with
q heating plant 20 be used when
necessary.
Upon Investigation by members Of
the c. and NJ. Duck club, it was
found that there was no foundation
to the rumor which spread last Mon
day to the effect that flock of
pelicans had eaten the newly plant
ed fish. The 1cal fish contained
in the car were thrown into the
Salton Sea wheh the living fish
were planted, ard remained float
ing at that spot while the live fish
darted away for deeper water. 1t
was believed at first that the peli-
cans, which had congregated at the
spot Of planting, were after the iv
ing fish, but investigation showed
that the birds were merely after the
dead fish floating on top of the
water.

Travel Increases
A few weeks ago Secretary Hays
made computations of the increase
in travel during the summer on roads
surrounding RI Centre and, with the
help of figures obtained from Sacra-
mcnto, it was ascertained that the
increase on all roads was 80 per
cent over 1923. This same healthy
growth is significantly recorded in
ri Centro building permits, which
show for the first eight months Of
the year gain Of 80 per cent over
the same period Of 1928 and a gain
Of 80 per cent over the entire year
1927.
Postal receipts have also shown
n substantial gain and the people of

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Man-Sized Thinker.

Text: when I was a child
thought as child; but when I became
a man, l put away childish things"
Corinthians, KILL.
There are too many men who have
not put away childish things. Tney
have grown UP to be men physically.
but they are still in their childhood
mentally. They have man-sized
body, but a child-sized mind. They
are still thinking in the terms of in
capable and helpless children. They
have never learned to think in the
terms of strong and capable men.
Why is it so many men remain where
birth and circumstances placed them?
Because they still think as they thought
in childhood. Just as they used to
say as child, they say now, IT can't"
They lack the mental vigor of a man
to say, II can" They have never
schooled and developed themselves to
think and plan and do on q man-sized
scale. And they will always remain
where they began until they begin to
think in terms OF men with the spirit
and courage to dare and do.
To do manly things, we must do
manly thinking. You can't be q man
doer and child thinker. The man
like doors of the world have all been
man-ike thinkers. The men who &C
complish great things are the men
who think great things. A petty think
er will always be a petty man. No
man can ever be any bigger, or achieve
anything bigger, than the terms in
which he thinks. -.
when I was a child thought as
a child; but when I became q man, I
put away childish things" II you
would make for yourself a place in the
world of men and affairs, quit thinking
as child and be a man-sized thinker.
