SUPREME COURT.
AIDES PAY CUT

Budget Director Douglas de-
cided to clip $1,000 from the pay
Of the nine judges of District
Supreme Court, their nine secre-
taries and the three men in the
assignment commissioners office.
When the clipping began it
was found a recent decision of
the United States Supreme Court
had declared that the salaries
Of the judges could not be
touched. At that time each of
the judges was handed $999.97
in back pay which the Comp
troller General had tried to with
hold.
Not being able to touch the
high salaried justices, the $1,000
will come from the pay of the
nine secretaries and the three
men in the assignment commits
sioner's office, whose combined
salaries amount approximately
to that of three justices.

Her Doctor Believes

Mcpherson Hutton, noted Los An
geles evangelist, is in very serious
condition" her surgeon, DR..
Charles Bove, declared today.
He told international News Ser
vice she will probably have to re-
main at the American Hospital,

be all right, but I cannot tell.
Anything is possible"
Emergency Operation
Told of reports Mrs. Hutton had
previously reserved room in a
French clinic for face-lifting treat
ment and other plastic surgery,
Bove said:
81 did no plastic surgery.
Maybe she failed to appear at
the clinic because she was sud-
denly taken i'll. / performed an
emergency operation, but 1 can
not discuss the details of my
patients case. If she wants
face-lifting treatment, she may
go to the French clinic after
leaving the American Hospital"
Mrs. Hutton is doing as we'll as
can be expected, the doctor said.
She is still so weak she cannot
read books or magazines and is
resting quietly. Visitors will be
barred for at least two weeks.
Birth Gable a Mystery
One Paris newspaper said the
cable to her husband announcing
the "birth" of a nine-pound son
was plant" designed to locate
a news leak in Los Angeles, where
news about Mrs. Hutton was
reaching the press.
This explanation was not wholly
accepted by persons with general
knowledge of the case.

ifornia are cooperating with the
Riverside Chamber of Commerce in
staging a Naval Orange pageant
on Friday, May s. concentrating
the planting go years ago of the
Parent Naval orange trees from
which have sprung the states most
picturesque agricultural industry.
The day S program will start at

lures are entered The Is divisions
will be headed by horsemen in col

effect on that day.
Visitors to the Riverside pageant
should take the opportunity to visit
the surveying Parent Navel Orange

DRY ICE To

AS soon as the last necessary
piece of machinery for the four
ton test plant arrives, "dry ice"
will be manufactured by the Sal
ton Sea Chemical company, accor-
ding to w. o. Blair of Calipatria,
who was in Ell Centre this after
noon.
The press for the plant is ex-
pected to arrive within few days,
he said, and officials of the COM
pany then will begin manufactur-
ing the product, to be made from
carbon dioxide gas taken from wells
in the vicinity OF Salton sea.
Blair said he heard many refer
ences to the type of ice boxes the
best adapted to dry ice" to be
used in the valley and that he un-

Quoting experiments. Plans also are
being made for room cooler, a
small box in which to place the

late it through the room.
Interest in the activities at the

RADIO PEST AGAIN

A RRIVAL of that period of the year
n when windows can remain open for a
time during the evening, also means the
arrival of complaints against the radio
pest, several of which have been re-
ceived in the past two weeks.
During the colder months of the year,
the radio pest" is none too evident, eX-
cept on Sundays, for, his windows being
closed, he can run his radio wide open
without bothering anyone.
When warmer weather arrives, how
ever, the radio pest becomes an afflic-
ton for the neighborhood once more, to
remain so throughout the summer
months, unless he comes to realization
of the nuisance he is causing, or some OF
the neighbors shoot him.
In commenting on the radio pest we
aim at no particular individual. 1t is
the practice that is the target OF these
remarks and not any one person. The
radio pest, we are certain, becomes so
only through thoughtlessness. He prob
ably would be Mortified if he could know
the real feeling his neighbors have for
him even though they may greet nm
cordially in their casual meetings.
He doesn't mean to be a neighborhood
nuisance and there may be times when
he feels himself neighborhood benetac-
tor by giving those within half-mile OF
his home an opportunity to listen IN on
his radio programs. He may be going
on the assumption that his is the only
radio worth listening to and from the
kindness of his heart he wishes others to
enjoy it.
1t is hardly possible that his viewpoint
is correct He is not justified in taking
this attitude without first consulting his
neighbors Not having their request that
he run his radio wide open he should
throttle it down even though he may feel
he is being selfish. If his neighbors want
to hear his programs they will not be
backward about asking him to open 1t
up.
Until they do so, the radio owner
should go on the assumption that his
radio is for his enjoyment alone and op-
crate it so that he alone can hear 1t. In
this way he may get the reputation Tor
being behind the times by having no radio
but at least he will save himself from the
stigma of being known as radio pest

THEY'RE MAKING MONEY

AN ARTICLE in Pacific Rural Press,
n handed to us by a local executive,
shows that despite the oft heard COM
plant nobody is making any money"
that many large corporations have no
kick coming on the amount of net profit
shown in 1882.
National Biscuit company, for instance
leads a group of agricultural products,
with a net profit of SIT ,104,125, a sum
not to be sneezed at in any year. Ma
tional Dairy Products leads another
group, with profit of $22,905, $50.
In the chain store line, Atlantic and
Pacific leads with profit of $22, 1872 72,
while in the tobacco field American To-
baccO shows net profit of S43, POT ,084,
topping all concerns in the four groups
given in the article. r. J. Reynolds COM
pany, also tobacco, is listed at S33 ,674,S00
and Liggett and Meyers shows $1,000
213.
The smallest net profit shown in the
four groups is credited to Grand Union
Tea company, listed as S602,1S7.
1t is interesting to note that many of
these huge profits are made from the pro-
ducts of the farm, yet the farmer who
raises the products is broke. If any
one can solve why this is so, he will have
arrived at the answer to what is wrong
with BUSINESS"
Pacific Rural Press goes on to say that
at a meeting some months ago in Chica-
go, to ascertain what is wrong with farm
prices, some of the executives in the COM
panies listed in these groups were pres
ent, and if they are sincere in their eff
forts to help the farmer, they certainly
have plenty of opportunity.
If these companies could show such
handsome profits for 1882, admittedly
a bad year., what will they show for
1888, which is designated as emporium
ity year.? And will the farmer come
into his own during this year?
Gandhi fasts while he could have plen-
ty, while many have to fast because it
is forced upon them.
