INGENIOUS PROCESS
STOPS VARIATION IN
FLAVOR OF COFFEE
Wonderful Flavor of Hills
Bros. Coffee Is the Same in
Every Pound

Many people have wished for a
coffee that didn't vary in flavor.
Hills Bros. Coffee is such coffee.
1t is roasted by the patented, Con-
trolled Roasting process that abso-
lutely prevents variation!
As the accuracy of the hour-gla0
depends upon an even, continuous
flow a little at time SO
the exquisite, unvarying flavor OF
Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by
the patented process that roasts
evenly, continuously -. a little at
q time.
Controlled Roasting is different
from the ordinary method of roast
ing several hundred pounds at once.
The results-as a cup of Hills Bros.
Coffee shows-are very different
too! There is refreshing smooth
ness that no other coffee has, be-
cause no other is roasted the same
way. And remember, this marvellous
flavor never varies!
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans. Air, which makes
coffee go stale, is removed and kept
out of these cans. Even ordinary,
"air-tight" cans won't keep coffee
fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't
90 stale! Order some today. Ask
for it by name, and look for the
Arab trademark on the can.

MURDER HEARING
OPENS in COURT

Ancleto Naitates, Filipino, today
went on trial before a jury in Judge
A. c. Finney's superior court on a
charge of numbering Luther Raldan
in an argument over a card game
in a Filipino camp south of Melo'
land last month.
District Attorney Elmer W. Heald
and r. I. Frenci, deputy district
attorney, faced the problem of deal
ing with unwilling states witnesses.
Ray johnson. attorney for Naitates,
closely cross-examined the first
witness called by the district attor-
ney.
Practically all witnesses to be
called by the prosecution are Fill
pinos who were in the camp when
Raldan was shot. For awhile the
district attorneys office last week
faced the possibility of being fore
ed to dismiss charges against Matt
ates when the witnesses could not be
located. They were found last
Friday in Salinas, and returned to
the county Jail here, where they
were held under $500 surety as ma
terial witnesses.
Those held are Noises Aquino, Sc
koro Camcam and Baldermar Aqu-
ino.
Camcam was the first witness
called by the prosecution this morn
ing after jury had been chosen.
He testified he was in the Filipino
camp when Raldan was shot, and
accompanied Fred Elliott, deputy
sheriff, to Mexicali, where Naitates
was arrested, but denied seeing the
shot which killed Raldan fired.

DANGEROUS BUSINESS
w. C. COSTELLO
Manager

THOSE who go to Reno for divorces may
lwell reflect on the opinion given by a
distinguished member of the California
bar, that divorces granted in the Nevada
city are not legal in other states, and par
ticularly that they are not legal in Cali
fornia.
Attorney Hahn asserts the California
law requires that in order for divorce
to be legal, the legal residence of the
party to whom it is granted must be
bona fide.
There can be no legal divorce, he de-
clares, when party goes into another
state solely for the purpose of obtaining
a divorce.
This is the case in Reno. Those who
obtain divorces there are merely required
to establish residence there for a period
of three months. 1t is not even essential
that they remain there the entire three
months After the divorce is granted,
if they wish to do so they may leave the
state and marry elsewhere, the second
marriage being considered legal by Ne
vada, but it is in conflict with the laws of
other states.
At best divorce is an unpleasant busi-
ness, something that should be used
carefully and with considerable thought
being given to the claims of the parties
seeking it. Putting it on the bargain
counter as so much hardware or mer-
chandise, is nothing but cheap vulgarity,
and highly repugnant to the best ideals
of American life, which from the founda-
tion of the nation have been based on the
sanctity of the home.
Many California residents are obtain
ing divorces in Nevada In Attorney
Hahn's opinion, if they remarry follow
ing a Nevada divorce, they are liable to
prosecution for bigamy there is great
danger of estate and community proper
ty complications and other difficulties.
Perhaps one should not become unduly
concerned over the Reno divorce mill.
1t is founded on quicksand and event.
ualy it must succumb to the weight of
public opinion, which is Overwhelmingly
against it. In the meantime, those who
find that the marriage state is too much
for them, had better play safe and obtain
their divorces where they are not likely
to be questioned later.

said Baby Bunty. Uncle Wiggily
knew the children would never

all right.

Jangle three times just like that.

wind had dried the paws of the
little rabbit girls who had been
splashed in the puddle, so they
didn't soil the automobile by get

their roller skates.

Fox, running fast and taking a
short cut through the woods, ran
on ahead and soon he was hiding in
the bushes on a road down which,
pretty soon, Uncle Wiggily must
come on his way TO the ice cream
store.
"As soon as the car comes along,
chuckled the silly Fox, I'll pop out
and grab hold of it and get a nice
ride as I saw the little rabbit girls

Along came Uncle Wiggily, with
Baby Bunty, Jingle and Jangle. AS
the car passed the brush where the
Fox was hiding, out he jumped,
running along on his hind paws and
with his front paws he caught hold
of the spare tire on the back, hold
ing to it as the three little animal
girls had done. The Fox thought he
was going to have a fine ride and
then he planned to pop up over the
hack and catch Uncle Wiggily. But

skates-he didn't even notice that
Baby Bunty and the others had
worn roller skates while they were
hitching on behind. And, all Of a
sudden, not having roller skates on,
the Fox couldn't run as fast as the
car was going and he was so silly
he didn't let go.
He was pulled off his feet,
dragged along the dust, bumped,
bounced, trounced and flounced and
then, all of a sudden, Bunty looked
over the back of the car and saw
the Fox hanging on and being
dragged along.
"Oh, Unkie Wig!" she cried. "The

Uncle Wiggily sprinkled more
pepper on the bologna sausage tires,

pulled away from the Fox, leaving
him to fall in the dusty road.
