HERE is a uniquely interesting
hi hand that arose in a recent
match and which will attract
even the mildest player. Peculiar
~. though a grand slam Is easily
possible in diamonds. the hand was
played in spades By North, with
East naturally leading the king OF
clubs.
North, viewing his dummy and
realizing a sure slam that had been
sacrificed by fciure 10 announce
diamonds on South's part, %cleverly
played his cards TO achieve the same
results in spades. 1t is not as SIM
pie as it appears. But a slam in
spades is possible with the lead of a
club. Solution will be found on this
mage.

LIGHT DEMAND
FOR ALFALFA IN
|. A. MARKETS

Lack of demand for all grades of
alfalfa hay at the Los Angeles mar
ket influenced by the large volume
of green feed now being consumed
bv dairies, tended to weaken prices
about soc per ton during the week
ending March 3. According to trade
reports there is little possibility Of
an Improvement in sales activity un-
til the present green feed condition
is shortened. From all indications
green feed will be quite heavily
used for perhaps another 80 days
depending, of course, upon weather
conditions. Mild weather and show.
ers at intervals during the past
month have improved green feed
and pasturage. This situation has
permitted the dairyman to reduce
feeding requirements and in many
instances practically no alfalfa hay
has been utilized n dairy nations.
Providing local dairymen are able to
p make use Of green feed the next 81
days, there is expected to be NOV
ing TO this market fair volume of
new hay if weather conditions per
nit.
The movement Of new alfalfa hay
TO the Los Angeles market will be
somewhat affected, according to the
latest reports from Imperial Valley,
as result of the cool weather dur
ing the week. Light frost was re-
ported in that section to have been
sufficient to retard the growth of
the new crop in most sections of
the valley. Hay supplies in Imper-
ial Valley are being reduced quite
rapidly. according 10 reports of the
heavy increase in truck shipments
from that area during the past
week. Receipts Of alfalfa hay by
railroad from Imperial Valley points
70 Los Angeles during the week
ending March , were slightly lower
than comparative previous weeks.
The quality however, shows Il vast
improvement in both the truck and
rR.l shipments that were graded by

Fire Insura nee
Talks By W. |.
Stone, Agent,
NOn-BOard
Companies

Quite few board company agents
have sought TO discredit non.board
or independent companies in the
eyes of the public, by declaring
them to be unsafe.
One agent making such 4 state
ment was required by the state In
surance Commissioner to restrict his
statements in the following Ian
guage:
"All insurance companies making
application for admission to Q
State of California are required to
meet the same financial standards
and comply with the same provisions
Of the law. Once having secured a
certificate of authority from this
office, it is immaterial to this De
partment whether or not they elect
to become members of the Board of
Fire Underwriters of the Pacific.
Membership in the board in no way
affects the ability of an insurance
company to meet its losses as they
fail due. This Department must
therefore insist that YOU, through
means Of statement inserted in
the Stockton Record correct the in.
ference that non-board companies
are unsafe to insure with. Member
ship in the board is not the meas
are of company ability to meet
its obligations as indicated in your
previous article.'
From the above, any one needing
fire insurance should, therefore, be
convinced that non-board companies
are safe to insure with
In the absence of non-board COM
panies in 10 community, the rates
might become intolerahly high. In
n certain school district near Los
Angeles where non-board companies
we're admitted, the board is reputed
to have ordered a lower rate forth
with. Nothing but NonBoard.

Chinese Caught
Running Border

Twenty three Chinese aliens were
brought in to the county Jail by
members of the border patrol work
ing at Calexico, to be held for de-
portation by immigration officials.
This brings the total number Of
Chinese in the Jail to As brought in
during the past month, the greater
part of whom were apprehended
within the last three days.
Officials stated that the Chinese
had informed them that labor con-
ditions in the Mexicali district were
very bad and that rather than
starve to death they took a chance
on entering the United States for
better or worse. If they reached
their friends in the large cities, well
and good, if not they would run the
risk of being deporpd.
