town I have ever been in where it
is considered sporting to flush a
pedestrian off the sidewalk.
The fact that Hollywood does not
top the Indianapolis speedway for
fatalities. Is due to the remark
able skill OF the pedestrian. He is
wary as a wild turkey. faster than

The traffic authorities. working
in conjunction with Rube Gold

some really wonderful traffic gad-

a sedate set of red and green lights
of the type We all know and love

There are never any Go" signs

At some of the Hollywood corners

agriculture adjustment program Is
therefore necessary to stabilize
price and production in the nation
During the war, Ballou said, the
United States produced enough
food and war materials to supply
the allies. This program was con-
tinued after the war ended
Then suddenly the nation Of
Europe adopted a nationalist pol
icy. They raised trade barriers
against the United States. Others
refused to pay war debts and as
a result trading with those couL-
tries was stopped.
But the United States farmer
continued to produce huge guam
titles of all agricultural products.
In a few years the people began
to feel the sting of reproduction.
Prices fell, storage houses stored
supplies of materials which people
could not buy.
Jobs were lost because the farmer
did not receive an income wnicf
would warrant his buying OF the
products offered for sale.
Today the nation is still facing
the problem. The natural place &c
attack the problem is at the four
dation-the farmer.

Paint for your home and paper
for the cigarettes you smoke. A
strange combination yet both are
made from. flax, a plant which is
rapidly becoming the valleys out
standing agricultural crop.
Paint is made from linseed oil
that comes from flax seed and
cigaret paper Is made from fibre
in the stocks.
Making paint from linseed oil
is an established industry in the
United States but making cigarette
paper from flax stocks is an en-
tirely new endcavor.
Until one year ago the flax stocks

burned the stocks, used them to

used them as covering for peas,
melons and squash
But last year. the Central Fibre
corporation purchased $4,000 worth
OF flax stocks from valley growers
and have already contracted for
100000 worth of stocks in the 1889
season. according to John L. Du-
Bois. president of the southwest
flaxseed association.
The fibre plant is shipping fibre
to Pisgah Forest, North Carolina,
where the Ecusta paper corpora

the product into cigarette paper
There is a bright future for the
fibre industry in the valley, ac-
cording to Wade Ramsay, in the
event valley growers continue to
grow Weed-free flax.

Held For
Pea Crop

The weatherman held chances OF
revival of a portion of Imperial
Valleys pea crop in his uncertain
hands tdoay, according to woodrow
C. Jacobs, fruit frost service mete-
orologist.
Picking will be possible in the
northend of the valley if another
frost does not strike within the
next two weeks, Jacobs said.
The unusually high temperatures,
which have prevailed during the
past week, have speeded recovery
of the peas TO such an extent that
growers in the northend were op-
timistic of their chances to gather
a few more cars from the fields.
Only 35 cars of peas we're ship
ped from the valley this season as
compared to 408 cars last fall.

intercept two bombardment flights at

A display of field artillery equip
