Says
The Hand OF Experience

The Hand OF Experience
Never was royal prerogative more
rightful than that of hen to lay
an egg. On the exercise of the royal
right by a barred rock hen, how
ever, and on her attendant natural
desire to proclaim her accomplish
ment from the nearest vantage
point, hung a three-mlnute spell OF
ARrplexity for Clark Adair Friday,
y d an equal length of unaccustom-
cd exercise for A. c. Johnston and
RR himself. Ii all came about be-
cause Mrs. Barred Rock had alb
Solutely no sense of the fitness OF
things, or perhaps because she was
intoxicated by the glitter OF asphalt
and city buildings. Anyway, she
laid an egg in Clark Adair's auto,
parked on Sixth street between
Main and State streets. Then she
hoped out of the machine to cackle
her triumph-and became confused
by the sweep of city life.
Adair arrived just as she navigat-
ed uncertainty across the street. "A.
c. and RR arrived at about that
same time. For the next three min
utes passersby were treated to the
sight of a farmer, an advertising
manager and a columniSt dodging
about among parked automobiles in
pursuit of an agitated chicken. Then
the advertising manager, abandon
ing coaxing tactics, lined his sights
directly between two automobiles at
the anatomy of Mrs. Barred Rock,
tensed his muscles and leaped. He
came UP, amid a profusion OF barn
yard protests, with wide grin ana
a.triumphant grip on the collective
tail feathers of the indignant hen
and business went on as usual.
Just More Campaign Stuff
Two gentlemen, at least they had
That appearance, were busily dis
Iysing that endless topic, politics.
~ couldn't help overnearing.
"Its a cinch,' said one that
Roosevelt will be reelected
Hope So" rejoiced the other.
'sNo use making a crook out OF an
other good man.
While On the Subject
Not that it makes any difference
to RR one way or the other, but II
does seem that a cerain San Diego
newspaper stuck its neck out Friday
morning in reporting that Ed sam
ple candidate for congress, showed
Unusual strength in Imperial coun-
tI in the straw balloting conducted
by the Post-PresS. Sample, the
paper said, held the lead in Brawley
and Ell Centro, voting centers.' II
was all worked out by percentage
The fact was that Sample did lead
in Brawley trailed by slight mar
gin in Ell Centro, and was Woefully
behind Ed V. Izac in the rest OF the
county. They're just giving the
other side more to talk about.
Here's the Solution
Ed Hall has solution for sail
As strike troubles. Settle 1T all, nc
.bposes, by giving the union what
it wants in exchange for an agree
ment that the union will accep'
half the liabilities of the business.
Here's That Man Again
DR.. John D. Keye, if he ISM
careful, is going to become embroil
ed in legal technicalities. After an
accident at Sixth and Main streets
the other day, he AYERS, it looke1
like a welcoming parade down New
York's Broadway, the lawyers card:
tossed out of second story windows
were that thick. What the counsel
ors want to know is this how come
Doc Keye was in such hurry tt
reach the accident scene? If ht
didn't know the gentlemen for wha
they are, RR might think someone
NO q cn,.io,1c about his
