 After dinner I rode around on my bike and went up by the school house and I parked my bike right by the door of Wod- fingers warehouse and I went in under the warehouse through the little door in front. While 1 was under there 1 heard George Will Hams (manager of Bert's drug store, also owned by L. K.

After they left got some dry grass that was under the building (packing straw) and put it up on a beam under the floor and set it on fire with a match, start ed the fire in two places about three feet apart and some of it must have dropped out on the ground as 1 caught glimpse of the ground burning when 1 was going out from under the build ing Then l got on my bike and rode down the main street as far as the Club liquor store and I told a man Hook at the fire" and he said why don't you report it, so 1 did run over to the Mar shaps and report it.

BURGLAR ALARM

Last July, the Office of Price Ad-
ministration leased 4,500 square feet
of space in a Milwaukee, Wis, office
building promising to pay an annual
rental of $5,625. In view of the
imperative need" Tor speed and
space, established firms were scat
tered to the four winds resulting in
extensive moving costs. A thou
sand dollars was spent by the cor
poration operating the building to
install burglar alarm system.
The New Deal bureau never occu-
pied the space and on October l it
cancelled the lease.

The Political Action Committee of the c. l. O.,

to obtain control of the state government of Montana
through Endorsement and support of Left Erickson,

gratitude.
The effort is nation vide-it seeks likewise to OBJ
tain control of Congress and the National Adminsra-

The point is that if YOU, the independent of

State Federation
Cancels Annual
Convention

For the first time in Al years, the
California Federation of Womens
clubs will not have an annual con-
vention.
The decision to give up plans for
the 1914 annual convention was
made at the recent meeting of the
executive committee in San Fran
cisco, following the request CT ODT
that all conventions involving con-
siderable travelling be cancelled
This request was sent to all or
ganizationS, many of which ignored
it, but the committee, after much
discussion, felt tilas the Federation
could perhaps further the war ef-
fort by emitting the state con-
vention.
However, the committee recon-
mended that district conventions
be held as planned.
The Junior membership of the
California Federation will have an

Short Course in English History

Two widely-read magazines have com mitted the same historical error in con- menting on Princess Elizabeth's 18th birthday: that when and if she aScentS the throne she will be the second woman to rule England since Elizabeth. She will be the third. What the magazines did was to overlook Queen Anne. It isn't hard to do. Anne doesn't cut much of fig ure beside Tudor Elizabeth or the Queen Empress Victoria - or beside the present Elizabeth, for that matter. The history books tell us Anne was plain, gluttonous, long on piety but short on wisdom.
 Anne reigned from 17O2 to 1714, and things went pretty well for England de- spite the fact that the English were fight ing Louis XIV all over Europe, and the Whigs and Tories were scrapping at home.
 Yet the lovely Princess Elizabeth has something in common with the unglam- orous monarch the magazines forgot. Neither was the daughter of royal prin- cess. Anne'S mother was Anne Hyde, daughter of the Earl of Clarendon and wife of James II; Elizabeth'S mother was the Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daugh- ter of the Earl of Strathmore and King horne.
 Princess Elizabeth will be the most British of British rulers since Anne. Anne was the last of the Stuarts, and was Suc- ceeded by the very German George l. English monarchS stayed pretty German right down to George V. But Elizabeth can boast of four British grandparents.

And an Order of Bacon

The country is in the grip of crisis which we all must face without flinching. With no mincing of words, the stark Sit- l1ation is this:
 We have a surplus of potatoes and eggs.
 Federal, municipal and private agen- cieS have been marshaled to store and move these commodities. But we can- not just sit critically by and let the bu- reaucratS. handle it. In the final analysis, every able-bodied citizen must share the responsibility.
 We are going to have to eat the surplus. There is no getting around it. { All sorts of plans will be formulated for meeting the emergency. There prob ably will be some government directives. But, in our opinion, there is only one so- ,lution. And it demands sacrifices from millions of Americans.
 We are going to have to give up our wispy breakfasts during this period of superabundance. We shall have to shun the ctdSpy, craclly, crunchy, munchy

Aerial Box Scores

Now that the newspapers are keeping box scores in the "ace of aces' contest among American fighter pilots, it might be well for the various war theaters to agree on ground rules, classify the leagues, and so on. It might be well to have a definite comparison of enemy planes and the skill of the average enc my flyer. And it might be well for the European and South Pacific commands to agree on whether 8 plane destroyed on the ground counts in the box score.
 At present the European pilot gets credit for sitting ducks" To be sure, the plane destroyed on the ground is just as much out of action as the one shot down from the sky.
 But if these grounded planes count in the box score, then the man who fires the torpedo that sinks Jap carrier, or the bombardier who drops his eggs on an air field may be the wars leading ace.
