WASHINGTON, March 13-The
blue eagle, which once was pearched
on every newspaper and magazine
advertisement in the country, now
seems to be missing in a ma jority
of cases.
Whether American business is
forgetting to display the eagle, or
whether many manufacturers are
losing thier eagles, is a question
that only Gen. Hugh S. johnson
can answer. In any event recent
issue of a New York newspaper
carried IA display advertisements.
Eleven Of these showed the familiar
eagle: 90 didn't.
In Washington, home of the
eagle. only 80 out Of l0l advertise
ments in one issue of an evening
paper carried the likeness of the
bird. Almost similar conditions OBJ
tanned in newspapers from st.
Louis, Tulsa and elsewhere.
Patent medicine advertisements
were almost unanimous in retain
ing the eagle. Some cigarette ads

been curtailed had the chamber,
and other civic and commercial DO
dies, not been successful in their ell
forts to have this appropriation in
cluded in the agricultural budget.
His statement that the acceptance
of bids for the erection of a build
ing had been confirmed was re-
ceiyed with satisfaction at the local
chamber because work on this build
ing will start Immediately and local
labor will be used in its construc-
ton, expected to be drawn from the
eligible CWA list of registered men.
The building is to be a narrow
structure about $50 feet in length
at Rositas Dam, north of Meloland,
where water Is to be diverted from
the Alamo river for experimental
purposes and returned to the river.
Parshall, who has had much eX-
perience with desilting work, has
several types of deSilting plants in
mind and expects to continue ex-
periments until he has determined
the most practical for desilting the

they are turned into the All-Ameri-
can canal. The government engin-

CAMP HEN ISSUE PAPER

Ii Centro has new newspaper, Trans
era News, published by the men of the
Federal Emergency Relief transient camp
on Commercial street, the first copy of
which has recently been issued The
name is clever combination of the
camps title.
The paper states among its other OBJ
jectiveS. the desire to bring out the Gre
ativeneSS Of the men in the camp, not
only in literary effort but in thought 1t
it intended to portray actual life in the
camp and warns contributors that no pro-
paganda will be accepted
Its first issue is highly creditable to
the men who planned and produced it,
with the exception of an unkind and un-
merited thrust at a religious organiza-
tion whose efforts to help the unfortun-
ate have won for it unstinted praise
throughout the world, in the face of the
StiffeSt antagoniSm that has ever beset
any similar organization.
We believe that in printing it the edi-
tor was swayed more by desire to en-
courage the author of a doggerel compos-
itiOn than by any real merit or truth in
the latters offering. The editor will
eventually realize. if he sticks to the job,
that it never pays to be unkind or to rid
icule the sincere efforts of others, even
though he may not agree with them.
We mention this article, which certain
ly approaches closely to the forbidden
propaganda, not that the organization
needs our defense, for its splendid record
is its best defense but to encourage the
Transera News editor to be constructive
and not destructive. One should not be
destructive unless he is willing and able
to furnish something better than that
which he destroys. Generally speaking
it seldom works out that way.
Aside from the thrust which we refer
to, we enjoyed reading the Transera
News. Its humorous sallies at the ex-
pense of numerous individuals in the
camp can best be appreciated by them,
but can also be enjoyed by the outsider.
We will look forward with PLEASURE to
future copies of the paper and sincerely
hope to see it grow in every way and
trust that it will not disregard the cor
nerstone of all that is best-tolerance.
This bonus business seems to be as diff
ficult to kill as old John Barleycorn
proved to be.
San Quentin can at least boast that
when it gets them in it keeps them in.
Crown Point please take notice.

said, hopping over to where the Po-
lice Dog was sitting in the snow.
I'll take a look around the
camp" growled the big, brave police
dog. Uncle Wiggily had invited him
to the sugar camp in case any OF
the Bad Chaps should come around
looking for something to eat like a
tender rabbit or a nutty squirrel,
While the Police Dog was proWl-
ing around in the trees and bushes,
shifting here and smelling there to

Bob Cat might be hiding, Uncle
Wiggily, the pig and the bear kept
on bringing up more bark pals OF
the sweet white sap to empty into
the boiling kettles.
I'm wait until it boils little
longer before make some sugar,
said the rabbit gentleman.
The Police Dog came back from
having looked around the camp fol

SUCCESSFUL FAIR

Imperial county's fifth annual Mid
Winter fair passed into history Sunday
and from all indications was a splendid
success, the attendance being exception
ally satisfactory and the weather all
that could be desired.
Returns are as yet incomplete, but ac-
cording to fair officials the attendance
was close to the $4,000 mark, comparing
favorably with the previous high attend
ance Of $4,000 established in 1880.
Members of the fair board have eX-
pressed their complete satisfaction with
the support accorded the fair and those
who visited it have been generous in
praising the board for the fine eXhihi-
ton it presented.
There has been some criticism that the
display of agricultural products, while
excellent in quality was somewhat lack
ing in quantity, and that too many COM
mercial exhibits were shown. In other
years we have heard the opposite sort of
criticism-too much agricultural and not
enough commercial. The inference is
that the saying you can't please every
one, is emphatically correct.
If the criticism that the agricultural
display was not as large as some desired
is true, the fault would seem to be with
the exhibitors rather than with the fair
board. The latter cannot compel exhb-
itors to show their wares. 1t is up to the
exhibitor. If the space devoted to agri-
cultural exhibits was not as large as
might be desired, then sufficient demand
for additional space will prompt the
board to supply it.
The members of the fair board are not
professional men. They started in from
scratch on this fair business, and have
had to learn by experience. They have
done so at the sacrifice of their own bus
inesses and time and have shown a will
ingness to give the people just the sort of
fair that the people want
The rest of us can drop the fair now
until next year. This is not true of the
fair officials. A few weeks to wind up
the details of the 1884 fair and it is time
to plan for the 1885 one. Those who crit
icize too severely should think of that.
