Better And Better
The Irish setter mentioned in this
column yesterday as perambulating
sedately down Main street with a
tin can in his mouth. it develops,
claims as his master w. S. Filter
but where he got the can is just
as much a mystery to Fitzer as to
anyone else. The beautiful red
canine trotted home with it. his
master reported, deposited it ON the
lawn, and spilled several bones out
of it, Bringing home his own din
ner, as it were.
Not Very Complimentary
An Ell Centro pedestrian would
like to be loyal to California, but
finds it difficult. Crossing Main
street the other day on one of the
new pedestrian crossing zones,
where signs proclaim that motor
lists must stop while pedestrians are
in the cross walk, the person in
\question had to leap for life while
one scar with a California license
zoomed by, watched another of the
same speed along, and Swore as a
third home-State auto roared past.
Then came an auto with a Texas
license. It's driver pulled to stop,
and the pedestrian crossed the
street, blessing Texas and thinking
otherwise of California.

candy for its Christmas party from

In Warning to
Russia

BERLIN, Nov. 25. (UP)-
Germany and Japan, SYM
bols of military might in
Europe and far off Asia,
banded t o d ay in a fight
against communism fight which
is regarded as a warning to Soviet
Russia.
It was announced Joachim Won
Ribben Trop, ambassador to Great

Mushakoje, japanese ambassador to
Germany, signed the agreement at
noon in behalf of Emperor Hirobito
and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler.
AS announced officially, the
agreement is directed against the
third or Communist International.
the supreme Communist body which
links branches all over the world,
with headquarters in Mocow.
Abroad it was reported despite
denials that the agreement contains
secret clauses providing for diplom-
attic and military cooperation.
The agreement as announced,
with three brief articles and sup
plements, was a bitter denunciation
of communism.
1t calls the work of the Inter-
national menace to the internal
welfare of nations and to world
peace, accusing it of aiming to dis
integrate all existing governments
by all possible means.
Italy'S adherence is expected to
follow soon, not only to the agree
ment as announced out to any other
measures which may be decided
upon.
The agreement as announced
bands Germany, facing Russia
across some 200 miles of Polish and
Lithuanian territory. and Japan
with foothold in Manchukuo on
Russia's Siberian frontier, against
the communism which is regarded
as essentially Russian.

GOODS NOT ORDERED

Considerable annoyance is often
caused by the practice of certain firms
which send goods by mail to persons who
have not ordered them. Sometimes the
goods are accompanied by stamps for their
return in case the recipient does not de-
sire to keep and pay for. them But the re-
wrapping and return of these packages is
unnecessary, according to the National
Better business Bureau. which has OBJ
tanned legal opinions on the subject
$50 long as unordered goods are not
used by the recipient, he need neither re-
turn nor pay for them," says the Bureau.
All that can be expected is that the re-
cipient hold the goods ready to be return
ed in case representative of the sender
calls for them. And if they are not called
for within a reasonable time, the recipient
may have claim for storage
While no one would ordinarily de-
sire to keep goods for which payment has
not been made, the paying for unordered
merchandise, or even it's return to the
sender, simply encourages the practice of
trying to force goods upon the public If
everyone would foffoW the advice here

Unbiased observers generally predict
that the coming election may be very close.
A majority of only few votes may de-
eide the issue in some of the big doubtful
states. In this connection we may be re-
minded that Blaine lost the presidency in
1884 because the great state of New York
went against him by only LAG votes. In
1916, Wilson carried New Hampshire by
only Sc ballots, and in that year in six
states the majorities were less than per

Fuentes Perez, Cuban cigarmakeI
of this city, was found floating In
the harbor this morning between
Curry's Sons company docks and
the Florida East Coast Railway
terminals. The body was brought
to port by William Wickers, sea-
man, who thought at first the
body was a buoy. That it was q
case of suicide, deliberately plan
ned, was indicated by the weights
suspended around the body. A
coral rock weighing about 1O
pounds was suspended around the
neck with a piece of fishing line
and piece of scrap iron was tied
to the left leg. The body was Sc
decomposed that it was buried
right after it had been viewed by
Judge Hugh Gum and a coroner's
jury. The gold watch of the dead
man had stopped at 10 so o'clock.
There was found in his pockets
$685.. A fine diamond ring and
stickpin, also set with a diamond,
were found. The stickpin in his
scarf and the ring in his pocket.
