Any hurdy-gurdy
 That can sing of spring, Any sidewalk monkey
 Dancing on string. Gets one coin or many
 When you pass its way. You buy vendors roses
 Seven times day. You are gay and foolish. And I like you near, You are fond of laughter. So am l, my dearl You could be a spendthrift Running through my spring, If there wasn't autumn
 For remembering.

THE MITCHELL CASE

AN ACCUSED man is to be presumed
n innocent until proven guilty in court
of law, therefor while remarks about
Charles e. Mitchell, prominent New
York banker, may be unSeemly before his
trial it is common knowledge that the
offense with which he is charged-evas-
ion of income taX-is not infrequent
among those whose income is up in the
large numbers.
Specifically the government charges
that Mitchell sold" large block of his
bank stock to member of his own fam
lily, later buying it back at price five
times above what the stock was selling
for on the market, then writing off a
"loss" of nearly $3.000,000 on the trans
action. This figuring enabled him to
show paper net loss for the year and he
paid no income tax
To claim that Mitchell was alone in
such transactions is being unfair to him.
There are quite a few wealthy persons
wondering since the government an
nounced its case against him, just what
will happen to them.
The government lists Mitchell's income
for the year in question 1929. as over
$3000,000 of which 1,206, 1902 was SAL
ary. A man with salary of that mag
nitude is generally supposed to have
few financial worries. Apparently this
idea is somewhat fantastic for Mitchell
is likely to have plenty of them.

| ne knew it, he was so coZy, warm
and comfortable that he fell asleep.
How long the rabbit gentleman
slept lie did not know but, all of a
sudden he was awakened by tick
ling of his pink nose and he knew
he was going to sneeze. He did
sneeze:
"Ker choo! Akerchoo! Akerchoo-
choochoo!' A very good sneeze.
Goodness me I hope I'm not
catching cold!' murmured Mr..
Longears and he looked in his pock-
ct for his handkerchief. But it was
not therel His handkerchief was
gone and he sneezed again:
"Ker chool Akerchoo! Akerchoo-
choochoo!"
/ Dear lie, where is that hand
kerchief?" said the rabbit bunny
for he had ears in his eyes that
he wanted to wipe away. I mean
| ne wanted to wipe away his tears,
not his eyes. while I slept some
one must have taken my handker-
chief" mumbled the bunny.
But, luckily, Uncle Wiggily al
ways carried a spare handkerchief
in another pocket and he soon
pulled this out and sneezed no
| more.
But" he said, looking all around
among the trees. "I would like to
know who took my other handker-
chief"
"Oh, was that white thing hang
ing out of your pocket handker-
chief?" asked a voice in ono of the
trees.
YES" said the bunny.
"Then I guess I took it, went
on the voice. Il thought it was an
old rag and I needed it to help
builc my nest"
"Who are you?" asked MI, Long
ears.
"I am the early Spring bird, was
the singing answer Il came up from
the South to build my nest and
hatch out little birds. 1 saw you
asleep on the log. I saw some
thing white hanging out of your
pocket. Thinking it vas an old rag
you didn't want, took it and tore
it all to pieces TO make rags for my
nest. Oh, I'm so scrry!"
mo need to be sorry at ALL!
laughed the bunny. I'm glad you
have my handkerchief for your nest
early bird. I have another for my
sneezes. But perhaps, when your
little birds are hatched, they will
sing a song fol me"
Surely they will" promised the
mother bird. Then she sang her
Spring song and Uncle Wiggily sang
his and hoped home to his bun
galow.
So if The egg beater will go down
cellar and throw some coal at the
furnace, I'll tell YOU next about
Uncle Wiggily's yellow flower.

of Winters cold breath blowing.
Please close the door or go outside

So he closed he door, Nurse Jane
finished washing tine dishes and
when Uncle Wiggily had pug on his
hat ard fur coat he hoped outside
to listen.
~ here are no early birds around
here" said Uncle Wiggily to him
self after he had listened for a
while IN the trees near his hollow
stump bungalow. Il must listen
farther off. Ard I may find an
adventure as vel, as hearing the
Spring song of the early bird"
Hopping oeyr the fields and
through the woods, stopping now
and then to twidcle mis- ears, twin
kle his pink nose and listen, Uncle
Wiggily soon found himself long
way from home. He was in little
patch Of evergreen trees where il
was warm and cozy

THE TO ACT NOW

IN THE news columns of this issue is
/ letter from subscriber which mer-
its more than passing attention.
The subject of school safety in which
considerable interest has been stimulat-
ed by the recent earthquake on the coast,
cannot be put down as the rawlings of
"cranks". 1t is something that should
be given full consideration by those re-
sponsible for the safety of school build
ings.
If there is any laxity on the part of
those in authority in taking necessary
steps to make sure that the maximum in
safety is provided, then it becomes the
right and duty of every parent and cit
izen to demand that a careful and rlgor-
Gus inspection of school buildings should
be made.
Spending a few dollars, or even many
dollars now is much more desirable than
holding a public funeral later on.

DECLARES GAP BETWEEN FARM
PRICES AND COSTS TOO GREAT

American agriculture faces the
problem of determining how to
close the gap between prices of
farm products, now at 55 per cent
of the pre-War averages, and farm
costs at 140 per cent. Because of
the grave condition of agriculture
in the United States, there is just
ification for serious consideration
of proposals for raising prices of
farm commodities, not yet applied
in this country"
These statements are contained
in a report of the agricultural sit
uation prepared by H. R. Tolley,
director of the Giannini Founda-
ton of Agricultural Economics,
University of California, in collab-
grafton with other economists. and
recently issued by the Association
of Land Grant Colleges and Uni
versitieS.
From the standpoint Of the well
fare of the nation" says Professor
Tolley, "the restoration Of agricul-
tural prosperity is as vital as Solv-
ing the problem of industrial un-
employment. Wise craftsmanship
will recognize that a remunerative
agriculture and a virile farm pop
ulation are essential to the contin-
ued growth of this nation"
The study made by Director Toll
ley and his associates shows that
during the three years of depres-
sion, farm prices have declined
about go per cent, farm wages
about so per cent. and prices of
goods farmers buy approximately
20 per cent. On the other hand,
it is pointed out, taxes and debts
have remained practically un-
changed at about $50 per cent of
pre-war levels.
Farm Not To Blame
That agriculture is not to blame
for present conditions is indicated
by the relatively stable output of
farm products during the years
1924-1932, showing no increase in
the aggregate. But gross income
from agricultural production de-
clined from $4,000, 100000 in 1929
to $5,000,000,000 in 1882. Obviously
it is stated, farmers have been un-
able to reduce their expenses of
production by an amount equal to
this decline.
Certain factors, says Director
Tolley, "are, operating to maintain
the disparity between agricultural
and non-agricultural prices, a dis
parity that now is greater than at
any time since 1870.
Among these are: relatively high
costs of processing and transport
alton; sharp curtailment in indus
trial production, tending to increase
unemployment and reduce pur-
chasing power; inability of agri-

HOME BUTTER
MAKING TOLD
IN PAMPHLET

To aid those persons who have
access to good quality fresh milk
and cream, and keep one or two
COWS to supply their family needs,
the agricultural extension service
of the University of California has
just published circular on home
buttermaking, prepared by D. H.
Nelson, associate in dairy industry,
branch of the College of Agricul-
ture.
fNearly two-thirdsof all butter
made in the United States" says
Nelson, is manufactured in cream
cries. Anyone attempting to market
butter must necessarily compete
with the factory system. AS a rule,
California dairymen cannot afford
to market their cream in the form
of butter. At certain seasons, how
ever, where there is more milk or
cream than the family requires, the
extra supply can be made into but
ter for home USE"
In this new circular, No. 68, Mel
son discusses quality of cream re-
quired for home buttermaking; how
utensils should be cleaned; care
of milk and cream; how the milk
should be separated; ripening
cream; churning temperature; pro-
cess of churning; churning diff
culties; and the operations Of wash
ing, sailing, working, printing and
picking butter.

of California, Berkeley, or from the
