Beverly Hills-Well all I know is
just what I read in the Congress
sional Record. They have had
some awful funny articles in there
lately. As our Government deter
iates, our humor increases. They
been arguing over the taxes, and
that give EN- a chance to get some
original views on where they was
going to get this two billion bucks
that they were overdrawn. They
have just appropriated and appro-
priated till they was so far in the
red, that it don't look they will
hardly get out by Christmas.
Well I had fine time here a
few days ago. I went out with
our Governor, Jimmy Rolph, and
we, 1--WE" accepted in behalf of the
State of California, one of the
most magnificent ranches you ever
saw. It comprises about seven
hundred acres. Course that don't
sound so big, but that's land that
is all piped and watered, and ir-
rigated, and improved. It is the
largest Arabian horse ranch in
America. It has 81 head of pure
breed Arabian horses, the most
wonderful up to date stables and
equipment you ever saw. Its a
marvellous place, about 40 miles
out Of Los Angeles, near Pomona.
1t was given to the State Univer-
sity Department of Animal Husban-
dry, and will be maintained by
them. It was the gift of Mr.. W..
K. Kellogg, of Battle Creek. He
has been coming out here for the
winters for several years and built
up this beautiful place. We had a
big ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg turned over
the deeds to the Governor. They
are a mighty fine plain, wholesome
folks, the Kelloggs. Now here is
the catch in it that makes the gift
so marvellous. He also give $780,
900 as a fund, that the income from
it would be used to keep this place
up. That's where got fooled, I
went out there to the ceremony
just thinking that it was an event
where a man was giving away a
ranch. Well I have one in Cali
fornia, and one in Oklahoma, both
mighty little one, but still big
enough to be noticed by the tax
man. Well neither one Of EN-
have ever made their taxes, SO II
either state wants another Animal
Husbandry joint, why I will be
more than glad to turn each state
over some of the best tax infested
land in both states, and will give
EN- some horses with EN- too. They
may not be Arabians, and again
they may be, for you can't look at
EN- and tell what kind they are.
They told us out there at this
ceremony that the Arabian horse
has one less vertabra in his back,
and one less in his tail, and the
bone from his knee down Is short
er. Well this Arabian is short OF
vertabra, and that is giving it a
nice name. I don't know about our
shin bone being shorter. If 1t is its
because we have worn it out kick
ing at everything so much. We
have wore out about an inch Of 1t
just kicking poor Hoover alone.
Maybe he did need a few, but per-
haps not as many as we aimed at
him. Now I think we ought to
commence wearing out, not the
shin bone but the keel bone, by
kicking ourselves few times each
day. Our kicks have always been
aimed at the somebody else for
our own troubles. And few good
ones directed at the proper source
would find US getting EN- right
where they are deserved.
So these horses are really Ameri-
can and not Arabian. They also
have another American character
istic, they are long winded. There
is Senator among every colt born.
An Arabian's nostrils are always
distended. He smells everything
