Stream and Trail (By WNU Service) Three-fifths of the 2,000 pheasants ‘to be released in Tehama and adjoining counties this year by the state fish and game commission have been transferred: to the bird pens on the R. W. Hanna Meadow ranch at Paynes Creek near Red Bluff. The other 800 birds will be received from the state bird farm at Yountville within a few weeks. One thousand of the birds will be set free a short time before the opening of the 1934 pheasant season, November 15-20. The others will be released after the season closes.

The federal $1 stamp, which is to be affixed to hunting licenses in all states, was sponsored by Congressman Frank H. Buck, Vacaville, in a bill presented and approved by Congress. It is hoped that enough money will be raised from sale of the stamps to provide for the purchase of additional game refuges. The refuges, it is estimated, would save be literally full of cali¢éo bass and immense barracuda. The yellowtail are of fair size and are biting better every day. Near Camp Durwood on the Kern River, some of the most excellent fishing spots in the state may be found. A few of the choicest locations are Little Kern, Rattlesnake Creek, Jordan Hof Springs and Durwood Creek. ‘The middle:fork of the Kings; River and connecting streams have been good to fishermen this season.

California gets an increase of 9,100 barrels per Gay. or 289,100 barrels gain for the month. In the case of Texas, the operators are allowed to move up 9,800 barrels per day, which the administrator says is. because Oklahoma over-produced and tanked 8,000,000 barrels of crude since January 1. The new oil agreement, under which the schedules are worked out, carries the following points to refiners: (1) Not to purchase, transport or run any oil produced in excess of quotas. (2) To post prices for gasoline and sell all brands at the quoted price. (3) To purchase from independent refiners all surplus gasoline. Retail dealers have been guaranteed a minimum of three cents a gZalion, in the attempt to ferminate " recurrent price warfare and éliminate unfair and destructive competition. : : The plan is expected to stabilize the industry in California and provitie an effective method of enforcing proration orders while at the same time ending demoralization of the market which~has been caused: by over-produc}-~ tion of crude oil, dumping of gasoline at cut prices, and piling up of surplus stocks in hands of refiners lacking adequate storage facilities. Remarking that the program will allow companies a fair profit on their operations, -Administvator ‘Ickes announced that he will maintain close watch over administration of the pian to prevent exorbitant prices and Zouging of consumers. The Apex’ Mining Company, headed by Charles B. Smith of Santa Barbara. has completed repairing the collar of the shaft in the Geraldine mine &t Confidence in the Sonora area and has started development operations. ‘The mine has been opened to 140 feet and a considerable quantity of good ore is reported to be available. It is equipped with a one-stamp pilot mill, but it is understood that a larger plamt may soon be installed. The Up-To-Date property im the Greenwood district near Placerville, adgjoining the Sliger mine; has been purchased by C. J. Putman and associates Varying Ideas as to Practice of Politeness “It was Montesquieu’s notion that “It is pride at renders us polite,’” said Mr. Cato Ninetails; “yet a little further along in ‘L’Esprit des Lois" he speaks of people who ‘as they are alwaysemployed about their own business have not the politeness which is founded on indolence; and they really have not the leisure to attain it.” This would seem to imply that politeness is a matter of idle ness, amd, by extension, that indolence develops pride. Perhaps it does; few of us have enough of it to find out certainly. On the other hand, otheyv authorities declare that ‘politeness pays,’ a dictum that has nothing -to do with pride or leisure. Probably nobody is more interested in making things pay than the busy man. That’s the principal reason why he keeps busy. Apprehension also has a considerable influence on politeness. If discourtesy is likely to get us into trouble, the probabilities are that we shall be polite; but perhaps this aspect of the question is included in the assertion that politeness pays. al “Whether it is pride, leisure or acquisitiveness that develops polite ness, there is none toe much of it. Sometimes we are impolite through ignorance, sometimes through carelessness, sometimes intentionally, sometimes because we are in a hurry and sometimes because we won't bother abour it. With all that, the question of what constitutes politeness still remains. As in the case of a great many other words, the definition is likely to vary a great dealboth geographically and chronologically. Politeness here may not be politeness there, and_ politeness now may mot have been politeness
then. Wence the wail’ *O tempora, O mores!’ Times and things and people are not what they once were, . or what we are convinced they were —as long as we do not examine the records carefully. “Politeness, of course, should nrean well, but much of it merely says well or does well; it sounds well and looks well, but a little-fnalysis will show that it does not mean anything. Its distinctive quality, as generally regarded, is polish, poise and grace, Sincerity is desirable, but, apparently, not essential, and it is not always even expected. Its purpose is mostly to make a good impression, which, no doubt, is what inspired Montesquieu’s opinion that it is the effect of pride. On the other hand, a’ sincere and generous clumsiness may be—and often is—much more polite than the most polished utterance or graceful action. In such a case politeness neither says well nor does well. But it means well. It has had no training in expression, but has a foundation of truth that is often lacking in more skillful utterance. So perhaps it is well’ not to be too exacting in regard to what constitutes politeness.”—Indianapolis News. Practical Economy When President Solomon of Haiti was forced to leave the country, the fovernment of Haiti felt it could not afford to issue new stamps, so she issued-orders that all postage stamps bearing his likeness were to be affixed upside down to the envelope and all that were not affixed in this manner were to be charged double the rate of postage.
