DULL DINOSAURS By Mary Graham Bonner

"Ah, we've reached quite dis tance in time" the Little Black Clock said.
 The world looks different, some how,' John remarked. But please tell me, have you opened up a museum and brought it right out of-doors?"
 No" the Little Black Clock an swered. "I'll tell you about 1t.
 "The huge, awkward, oddly shaped creatures you see are members of the Dinosaur family
 You've seen their pictures, or creatures that resemble them in books and in museums, but we're back during the time when they roamed over the world"
 Could I speak to one?" Peggy asked. Would they hurt mc?"
 They won't hurt you" the Lit tie Black Clock answered, because they would not know what to do to you. They've never seen per son, and they'd be too much pug zled by you to know what to do.
 Speak to one if you wish"
 Hello, dinosaur,' called Peggy.
 Hello, all you dinosaurs" called John, who decided he would be very bold.
 But the dinosaurs paid no atten- tion
 They swung their large tails about and looked very, very foolish.
 It was funny such big creatures could look so silly.
 They're pretty dull," the Little Black Clock said.
 Let's call them the dull dino saurs," John suggested.
 And they won't mind if you do that's how dull they are" the Little Black Clock said.
 But brains weren't the fashion when dinosaurs lived in the world!'

 But assume for the moment, that the onrush- ing generation is coming along with attitudes that are differenet from ours. What do they bring? What virtues along with their frailties? It would be long and perhaps futile task to make a very thorough inquiry The task would be complex and replete with contradictory symptoms.

NEW YORK, June 1S.---Muddled
political thinking about the

, tendency to generalize.
AS matter of fact. as Presi.
dent Hoover pointed out In his
first message to Congress, there
Is not one farm problem--but
many. This wide differentiation
in the status of farmers in diff.
ferent sections of the country, is
action to the recent slump in
wheat prices to the lowest levels
in a decade.
in parts OF the Northwest,
spokesman for farmers con.
tend that recent low prices, would
not defray the farmers cost of
production, whereas in the Pam
handle district of Texas. where
fertile soil and efficient methods
promote economy, 1t Is felt that
a good profit can be made on
dollar wheat.
Texas Grain Crop
Glen A. Egan, vice president
and field manager of the first
Texas Joint Stock Land Bank. in
a message to this column, says.
Texas grain production is con.
fined to the northern, central and
northwestern parts of the State,
and embraces an area equal to
about one-eighth Of the State.
Texas expects this year to have
one of the largest grain crops of
ability go above the $4,000. 600
bushel mark.
''Eighty-five per cent of this
production will be in the Pan
handle section of the State and in
approximately 80 counties. This
area last year produced a good
crop and received an excellent
price, and is now in a healthy
financial condition. Farming

and even though the price should
at the time Of harvesting fall be-
low the dollar mark, vet a good
profit on the investment will be
realized
Lands Are Cheap
Lands in that section of the
State sell for from $40 to $50 per
acre, and a 30-bushel yield per
acre in productive years Is not
uncommon. The1Sfore, believe
no depression will be experienced
through the low price OF the prod.

The wheat farmers are not equip

practice selling as rapidly as the
crop is harvested, regardless OF
the price. This policy has here.

Plumber Arrested Pays $40
Fine and Costs for,
Counterfeiting.'

The scheme Of John Mills, 81,
proprietor of a plumbing shop at
1881 Central avenue, to save money
on truck license plates failed to-
day when he was fined $40 and
costs, total of $40, on a charge
of having improper license plates in
municipal. court
"One way of not having to spend
the money Mills answered when
asked why he attempted to operate
his plumbing shop truck with 1928
plates "counterfeited" into 1929
plates as charged by George H.
Johnson state policeman.
Mills attempted to operate his
plumbing shop trucks with 1928 Ii
cense plates revamped into 1929
plates, according to Johnson.
Mills, according to Johnson, had
taken 1928 plates, hammered off the
10 in the 1928, but changed the
8 into 9 and repainted them in
the 1929 colors.
The fact that the figures on the
1928 plates we're one-eighth of an
inch wider than those of this years
plates was the only flaw, according
to johnson.
Driving past Mills shop Wednes-
day afternoon Johnson noticed the
extra thickness of the figures on
plates on a truck in front of the
shop. Mills admitted the counter
felt scheme and said he also had
the same fake plates on another
truck johnson said.

VOTE CUSTER
OF GOVERNOR
IN OKLAHOMA
Senate Court Holds John
StOn Generally InCompe-
tent for Office.

BIZ United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 21.-
Ex-Governor Henry S. Johnston
followed the trail of Jack Walton
today after a senate court has ousted
him on charges of incompetency.
Johnston was looking Tor a job,
just as Walton did in November,
1928, after the senate had voted him
out of the executive mansion.
w. M. Holloway, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, was sworn in as Governor
Wednesday night Immediately s.Cer
Johnston had been found guilty by
a majority of the state senators.
Preceding the former Governor in
the exodus from Office was Mrs.
o. o. Hammonds, JohnSton's conf
dental secretary until recently, who
was the storm center of d political
battle that started two years ago
when Johnston's enemies opened
their attack.
Z Center Attack on Woman
Mrs. Hammonds, a youthful-ap-
pearing woman of 40 and mother
of two grown sons, resigned when
Johnston was suspended two months
ago after the house of representa-
tives had impeached him.
JohnSton'S enemies conferred their
attack on Mrs. Hammonds. The
enemies charged Mrs. Hammonds
"ran the state" and was entangled
in the corruption alleged to have
existed in administration of the
state highway department.
Two years ago when Johnston first
became embroiled with his enemies
he dispersed a session of the legiSla-
ture with state troops, later being
upheld by the supreme court which
ruled the session was unconstitu-
tional.
Johnston made a desperate at
tempt to free himself of charges
He was on the witness stand seven
days, answering questions from his
own attorneys and sidestepping
queries from H. Tom Right and
John Head, two of the "self-styled
four horsemen'' who fought the
Governor for two years.
Dismissed Secretary
When opposition first was mani
tested against Johnston and Mrs.
Hammonds he refused to dismiss
her BECAUSE he said, of rumorS
started by his enemies that his per-
sonal relations with the woman sec
rotary were improper.
A charge of improper relations,
made in a purported impeachment
article voted by the abortiVe legis-
lature session two years ago, was not
renewed this session, so Johnston
said he felt justified in accepting
Mrs. Hammond's resignation.
