Points in Sailing
Keep in mind the desirability
of sailing lima beans when they
are half cooked. II you add salt
when the beans are put on to cook
there's danger of tOughening the
covering, but they do have bet
ter flavor if the salt is cooked in.
Allow 80 to 40 minutes for beans
to cock and cook them uncovered
in as little water as possible to
prevent burning. It's "A good plan
to form the habit of shaking the
pan in which they are cooking.
The fiat shape of lima beans often
causes them to stick TO the bottom
of the pan and scorch even when
there is plenty of water over them.
Shaking the pan prevents them
from sticking without crushing the
beans. as stirring would.

TICKS RAVAGE
STATE HERDS

DURANGO, Col, Aug. 90. UP
Wood ticks are taking a heavy toll
of wild animals and livestock in the
San Isabel national forest and other
timbered sections. of the state.
The unusual prevalence OF ticks
this summer is attributed to the
killing of many of the birds which
feed upon them. In its effort to
poison gophers, the biological sur
vey has scattered poison grain about
and the birds have fallen victim to
the bait which was set for goph-
erS.
State to Give Aid
The tick menace has become SO
severe that the matter has been
called to the attention of Gov. Ed
win c. Johnson and the state has
promised TO assist in the eradica-
ton.
Deer and other wild game are
suffering from the raVages of the
ticks" said Deputy Game Warden
Warren w. Ireland, after a tour
through the San Isabel forest.
Deer Near Victim
"One day l found deer in the
reserve that was SO weakened from
an attack by wood ticks that She
could not ge: up from the ground.
I assisted her to her feet and brush
off the ticks. Hundreds of them
had fastened themselves to the deer
and she would have died had I not
found her.
"A short time afterwards l found
a buck in much the same condi-
ton.
Buck Tanned BY Insects
He was so tame as a result of
the ravages of the insects, that he
allowed me to APPROACH him and rub
the ticks off his body. helped him
to a creek, where he could get q
drink of water, and then left him.
He probably will recover
Sheep and cattle also are suffer-
ing from the tick invasion. Ireland
said. A number of deaths have been
reported from the mountain re-

MUST COMPLY
WITH Law On
STATE: LICENSE

Although the deadline for appl-
cation for sales tax licenses is but
three days away, only about one
third of the retails of California
have yet applied for the licenses
under the California Retail Sales
Tax, the Ell Centro Chamber Of
Commerce is informed. Under the
law retailers are required to obtain
their licenses before September l..
While the sales tax administra-
tors state they do not want to be
compelled to take drastic action,
they are amazed in view of the
wide publicity which has been given
the tax measure that everyone is
not acquainted with it and that
more licenses have not been applied
for.
License application blanks are
available at the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce and, while many of
these have been given out, the
chamber staff states that they have
not used nearly as many blanks
as they had expected would be
necessary to supply this community.
There is no charge for these appli-
cation blanks, which must be filled
in by the owner of each business
and mailed with a dollar fee to the
state board of equalization at Sac
ramento. Blanks on which retailers
will make reports of sales will be
mailed on october l, to all who
have made application, after which
retailers will have fifteen days in
which to make their returns
These who have not yet applied
for licenses are urged to get their
application blanks at Ell Centro
Chamber headquarters and send
them in Immediately in order that
this community may not be one
of those in which drastic action
will be taken.

KANSAS PLANS
CRIME GUARD

TOPEKA. KanS., Aug. go. up
Kansas, looking for new ways to
stop bandits who rob banks, kill
policemen or perform some other
violent crime and then escape in
high-powered motor cars, is study
ing a system OF highway blockade3
which would stop all traffic in the
state in case Of emergency.
The blockade proposed by engin-
eers consists OF a large stop sign,
on either side of which is a long,
hinged arm with siX-inch spikes.
The arm would lie flat on the
ground, with the spikes pointing
upward. The whole apparatus is
light enough in weight TO be moved
en- a truck and set up by two or
three men.
Under a system of mobilization
worked out by Gov. ALI N. Landon
and national guard officers, the
guard could be called out on short
notice to aid local police in patrol
ling highways.
Would Confine Bandits
The proposed blockade plan would
provide the guard units with the
spiked stop signs. Then, when a
call came that bandits were eScap-
ing after a major crime, the guards
men could rush their blockade to
all highways, SCI them up in a few
and confine the bandits
to the area in which the crime was
committed
The hinged arms on the stop
signs are arranged SO that they
could be raised to allow automobiles
TO pass in either direction after
the guards were satisfied that the
occupants were not the suspects.
The weight Of the arms would make
it possible to drop them into place
on a seconds notice however, and
make it virtually impossible for a
car to get by without being in
spected

TEXAS TOWN HAS OWN CIRCUS

The circus, operated as

You know there are plenty of
good horses around here. Who goes
to a circus nowadays to see wild
animals = elephants, giraffes and

performers.
Sought Horses and Mules
The Little Theatre board mem
bers began a hunt for material.
But instead of looking for leading
ladies, actors to play juvenile and
heavy roles they hunted for horses,
trick mules and bareback riders.
At two stables here they found
several high school horses in train
ing. Two Gainesville men owned
trick mules which had played in
rodeo shows here and elsewhere.
With this foundation stock, plans
were made for a circus to be held
at the county fair grounds audi
torium. The circus received the
full endorsement of business end
professional groups as had the Lit
tie Theatre plays.
A high school coach trained a
group of tumblers and acrobats;
a trapeze performer forgot he had
the tanbark trail to
coach a crowd of aerial aspirants;
a former circus clown who had
kept his past carefully guarded
coached the pantomime crew.
The two night stand played to
capacity houses. The receipts paid
for circus equipment which had
been purchased by the individual
performers and for costumes
which the performers had bought.

Good Eveningll

Good Evening"!
 The boys showed the finest bowl ing in the history of the league last week rolling up the greatest number of individual high scores in one evening that we have yet recorded. Incidentally, it was the misfortune of some of the leaders to bump into their friends who are lower down in the race just when the short-enders were hot. A par ticular instance of this was the case of Frank Mellon, who drop ped four points to Millionaire Co., lucci thereby relinquishing the lead to Sullivan who maintained his fast pace.
 When Jack Roberts rolled a high single of 142 and Ed Mclean hit 137, they broke their lifetime re- cords.
 Ben Mellor the Thomaston ter- TOT showed some nifty stuff when he clicked off 152 for high single game. But it must have been too much for Ben for he hit an 84 in his next game. Prosperity was too much, eh Ben!
 NICE WORK, BUS b Bus Wallace had his cross alley ball working to perfection and set a new seasons mark for the indi- vidual three strings when he chalked up 392. Bus started on with 129 for his first game, 1O5 for his second and like thorough bred, came through in the stretch with a 1858 for his last game. It looks to us as though this mark will stand up for while for the rest of the fellows to shoot at. But one can never tell judging by the form all the boys are showing.
 Our old friend George Gaugler continues to be the steady bowler of old. George never borders on the sensational type but can always be relied upon to maintain his average.
