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 state is supplying the birds and the feed. Sportsmen
of the district contribute the money to
pay salaries of the game keepers.

Duck stamps went on sale in all California counties Monday. The federal

hunting licenses in all states, was
sponsored by Congressman Frank H.

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

Mining & Oil
(By WNU Service)
Oil quotas for July, announced by
Oil Administrator Ickes, penalize Oklahoma and increase the allowables of
California and Texas. 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.

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.

was forced to leave the country, the
