'Hulse- -Anderson'S repair business
grew rapidly. At one time 81 men
were employed in this territory in
service work. The success can be
mainly attributed to service ad-
ministration rather than to ex-
pensive shop equipment. Thought
was expended in working out the
service plan.
Careful study of production
methods has enabled Hulse- -Ander-
son to overhaul completely a model
Thirty Caterpillar tractor in as
low a time as 70 man-hours, and
it is seldom that the time required
goes above 80 man-hours. This is
for a complete overhaul of this
model, beginning with the disassem-
bly, of a canopy top to a complete
disasSembly of track rollers and a
rebuilding. HulSe-Anderson rebuild
their machines to a standard con-
dition, regardless of the expense
involved, and sell this used equip
ment at a list price which is as
fixed as the list price on new ma
chimes"

Cheer up
Then began very pusy days for
Mr.. and Mrs. Robin. The father
and mother bird had to fly to and
fro from the little house to the
woods and field and bring back
things for their little birds to eat.
Mr.. Robin was so busy he had no
time to sing his cheer up song ex-
cept at evening. AS for Mrs.
Robin, she never sang. You know
it is only the daddy birds who can
sing. Mother birds only chip and
cheep. They can't sing.
So Bunty and Uncle Wiggily
watched and at last they saw some
of the little robins poking their
heads out of the front door. They
didn't dare come out all the way
as they could not yet fly.
"Oh, I'm so afraid some cat may
climb the tree and come up to our
little house, reach in and claw out
my little birds" said Mrs. Robin
che day to Uncle Wiggily.
Il will fix it SO no cat can climb
up to your little house." said the
rabbit gentleman.
"HoW?" asked Bunty.
ITS secret, but if you watch
you will soon find it out" chuckled
Mr.. Longears. He got some sticky
fly paper and tied it around the
branch along which a cat must
crawl if she wanted to get the
small robins. And one morning,
when Uncle Wiggily and Bunty
went out to look at the little house,
10 and behold! There was big,
hungry cat stuck on the fly paper,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Robin flying
at her, darting at her eyes and
Shrilly cheeping cries of alarm.
Hal" exclaimed Mr.. Longears.
MY fly paper trap worked" Then
the cat pulled her paws loose from
the sticky paper and ran away.
And soon the little robins were
big enough to fly and no cat could
get them.
Now if the hand organ monkey
will give the jumping rope a cocoa
nut to play ball with, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily's spring.

Bunty asked him who was going
TO live in it:
"Ah, that is a secret"
But by watching Bunty found
out that two robins had come to
live in the little house.
And by keeping on watching
you will learn what happens next, ,
said Mr.. Longears to Bunty. So
the little orphan rabbit watched
the wooden house in the tree from
day TO day
After a while Bunty noticed that
Mr.. and Mrs. Robin were not so
busy bringing soft hay, grass and
hairs into their nest house Mr.
Robin had more time to sit on the
branch outside his door ard sing:
Cheer up Cheer up! Cheer up"
Where is Mrs. Robin?' Bunty
would ask as she hoped around
beneath the tree with Uncle
Wiggily.
She is warming the eggs she
has laid said Mr. Robin.
why is she warming the eggs?'
asked Bunty.
so that out of our eggs may
come little robin birds" was the
answer. THE eggs must be kept
warm for many days so the little
robins will be big enough and
strong enough to pick their way
out of the shells. You shall soon
see them, Bunty."
II am glad l made the little
house for my robins" said Uncle
Wiggily. He did not so often go
adyenturing these days, as he
wanted to be there when the little
robins came out of their blue
shells.
At last, one morning when
Bunty and Uncle Wiggily went out
to look at the little house, they
heard Mr.. Robin singing very
loudly:

You seem extra happy and glad

UNCLE WIGGILY'S ROBINS

Two robins had come to live in
the little wooden house which
Uncle Wiggily had made and
fastened in a tree near his hollow
stump bungalow. Baby Bunty had
seen the robbins and had heard
the father robin gaily singing.
Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer up!'
What will happen next, Unkie
Wig?' asked Bunty as she and the
other animal children watched the
father and mother robin bring
more dried grass, curled hair from
the tails of horses and other soft
things in their beaks to carpet their
nest in the little house. What
will happen neXt?"
"Ah,' saio lne rabbit gentleman,
that is also a secret. You must
watch and see"
For when Uncle Wiggily had
begged the starch box from Nurse

where Scouts are away from home

THANKS HEALD
FOR HIS WORK

District Attorney Elmer w. Heald

planatory letter from Governor
Agustin Olachea, of the Northern
District of Lower California:
Honorable Sir:
Referring to your esteemed letter
of the 18th instant thanking me
for the aid given by this govern
ment and by the friends of Alberto
Garcia with a view to seeing that
justice be done in the case referred
to.
I regret that, unhappily, this
murder, committed in violation of
all laws remains unpunished due
to slackness or indifference always
shown by juries. In our country,
and due to the alterations fire.
quently found in eases of this kind,
it has been stopped, and we have
arrived at a point where justice is
not mocked at, so that society is
guaranteed the punishment Of de-
linquents.
I do not blame the authorities
nor outstanding men like you who,
without consideration of national
ity or any other thing, proceed in
cases like this one with straight
ness, which comes from a sei1se Of
duty to be performed.
The proof you gave by protesting
against the unjust findings of the
jury makes me esteem your friend
ship the more, and l assure you
that from now on my best desire
is to be of service to you at any
time in the future.
With all due appreciation, permit
me to subscribe and repeat my
self.
Most sincerely yours,
(Signed) A. OLACHEA.

HULSE-ANDERSON
SHOP SYSTEM IS
HIGHLY PRAISED

Imperial Valleys Caterpillar"
dealer received national recogn-
zance recently in Motive Power
when an article on the service
department of the local concern by
w. S. Bryant appeared. Bryant is
recognized nationally as an auth
ority on service and equipment.
The article in part follows:
The Hulse Anderson Tractor 81
Equipment Co., of FL Centro, Calf,
early realized that satisfied GUS
toners meant repeat orders, not
only on equipment sales, but in
sales of service as well. This COM
pany set about making a service
setup that would guarantee to the
owner dollars worth of service
for each dollar charged. They
realized that first they must pro-
vide space in which to work, and
next men of knowledge supplied
with the ordinary tools of their
profession, as well as with shop
and special tools for special appli-
cations.
Before the men were hired they
were presented with list of tools
they were required to have tC
qualify for the position. This list
of tools was made up through years
of experinece acquired in the over
hauling and rebuilding of tractors
These tools were sold to the SER
vicemen at net cost-on time if
necessary-and the man was told
that at any time he might wish to
leave the company the tools would
be bought back at the original
price. This method was followed,
as experience had shown that hand
tools furnished without charge con-
tinually disappeared.
"A foreman was engaged, and a
time-card and clock system in
stalled to insure that only time
actually spent on a job would be
charged to that job. Job numbers
were assigned to company work,
idle time, and shop cleaning-up
time. Thus an account could be
made of every hours time. Con-
siderable advertising, mostly by
word of mouth, was then dissem-
ated throughout the surrounding
| territory, inviting owners to bring
in their machines, work on them
themselves, and take advantage Of
all the specialized effort Hulse-
Anderson was prepared to render.
when the owners responded the
tractors were assigned positions,
and a man definitely assigned to
each job. Boxes were placed on
both sides of the machines, small
parts being placed in them as they
were removed. In this way, screws
and smaller part SWere not lost in
the dirt that accumulated beneath
the tractor as it was worked on.
Lists Kept
The serviceman disassembling
machines made up lists of parts
he would require to build the ma
chine, this list growing as the
tearing down process went on.
When near completion, this list
was turned over to the shop fore
man who in turn gave it to the
parts man definitely assigned to
take care of shop orders. The
parts listed were drawn by this
parts man. charged to the job
number and delivered to the SER
Vlceman in time to start the re-
building process. Rebuilding was
characterized by the same orderly
methods as the diSassembling. Up

There should be no real reason why

While the district is carrying a heavy
burden, Its assets are fundamentally
sound. Most businesses and numbers of
individuals, find themselves in straight

in debt is the rule rather than the eX-
ception. The district, by care and dill
gence, can undoubtedly bring itself into
good financial condition if it has the
support and confidence of the public, and
it will have this support and confidence
if the officials show that they are down
to business and that politics has been
relegated to the background.
And as for the rest of us-if we will
pay attention to our own work and our
own difficulties, do less talking and con-
iecturing about what should be done
and what might have been done and close
our ears to the fellow who sees wrong
in everything and is certain the district
is headed for bankruptcy, the bankers

fuel hucksterS. trading at large, and
seek to prevent the carrying out of q

sale of gasoline on the public streets.
Ninety-seven others are engaged in the
business, the court is told. and have in

has never been a fire from the sale of
gasoline on the public street since 1914
and there is no fire hazard connected
with such trading, they assert. The
defendants are seeking to destroy a
property right, it is claimed. and to de-
prive the gasoline hucksters of their
property without due process of law.
