‘WOULD e SUPPORTED
“When sane legislation for the formmation and financing of corporations
%e presented, the mining industry. will
wupport it. Whe laws are sought that
‘will facilitate honest’ financing, _but
‘eontrol the unscrupulous . and “demstructive inflation of privately-owned
stocks, the mining I
mpladly ‘subject itself to regulations
‘that play no favorites.
Laws that interfere with original
@inancing but permit stock manipuators to continue their gigantic roberles can have but one effect—they:
“will stifle individual initiative, retiard Western progress and place
‘ever growing power in: the hands of
~lutocrats who use it only for their
swwelfish advantage.
‘Blue-sky conspirators halted the
‘serowth of the West, turned public
funds into the hands of Wall Street,
‘and created the frenzied stock inflaion that brought about‘the panic of

-And still they are not satisfied.
Just-as surely as aight follows

One of the great: dangers ‘Sache
to this type of work is that .of driving the game birds from: the nests

To his astonishment he saw hunters

nestiig game birds completely out of
their nests, without giving thought
as to thé results. The nests were virtually destroyed and the birds were
scattered and frightened away to
gunfire of the persons who were
eagerly pursuing one of a “hated”
variety.
‘A elose. watch on this particular
‘district proved that it was many
seasons before the quail and other

that time the despised variety was
also replenished in numbers, thus
proving. that absolutely nothing had

fall when the birds are not nesting
and when the least damage is liable
to be done. Before the drive, a survey
should be made by competent peronss. The approximate number of
game birds should be estimated and
this figure should be compared with
observations on the numbers desired
for eradication. If the percentage is
not large, the hunters might bo very
well to let matters stand as thel are.
In making drives, competent captains or leaders should be chosen
who will lead the hunters as quietly
as possible and who will make it a
rule to give a wide margin to the
game birds at hand. Frightened
birds will sometime leave a nest,
never to return, or if they do return
the eggs have become cold and hatching is impossible. :
‘Remember, unlessextreme caire

Miost.of Nevada County’s winnings
were for appleh and pears. In addition to the prize money, the county

general excellence of its exhibits.
Complimenting Nevada county on
its showing, Paine said: “For a number of years this county has had a
splendid exhibit at the State Fair,
and has been a consistent prize winner, The disply at the 1930 Fair
was one of the most comprehensive
exer entired at this exposition, and
created much favorable comment
among the thousands of visitors. The’
attendance registers at the Fair included people from every state in the
Union as well as most of the foreign
countries,. and the excellent display
of products shown by Nevada was the:
kind of advertising for that county.”

which required four days and two
hours in travel time. :

CHINESE Ecc BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Designed to protect both the consuming public and the poultry industry of the state, the Senate passed
without, opposition the Harper-Slater
bill..
Requiring that wholesale and retail merchants of ‘foreign egg prod-.
uets must obey inspection and original container regulation, and that?
every bakery or restaurant must display a conspicious sign informing the
purchasing public that foreign eggs
are used in their food products, the
Harper-Slater bill provides a long
delayed protectionto the housewife.
Also aimed to benefit the poultry
industry of the state, the resuls of
the bill will tend to increase the use
of fresh eggs and prevent slumps in
the egg market similar to that recently caused by the importing of the
eggs in the twelve months
prior to February.
