Congress is balking and it looks as if the money would be refused. If abandoned, whose name should this “Folly’’ bear? Again on the rugged coast of Maine, is Passamaquoddy bay, where $7,000,000 has . been . expended to harness the rampant tides and create electrical energy. There is only 4 small market for electricity there, but the President is now asking for $9,000,000 more to continue construction of this huge tidal machine. Whether completed or not this project, which even the majority of hard-headed Maine citizens deride as a crackpot method of spending money, (‘pounding sand into a rat hole’) will probably come in time _to be called a ‘‘Folly.”” Whose name should it bear? President Roosevelt refused to refer to the ‘‘Hoover’’ dam, when he visited that structure, even though Congress had named the great dam in the Colorado river after the presirent under whose administration the work was started. But we rather think a generation. from now there will be scattered over the country partly completed projects, a big hole in Florida, a bit of bay in,)Maine with much masonry and rusty machinery, and no doubt miles of dead trees planted in the Middle West. intended to halt wind storms, which will be known popularly among the forgotten people who live in those vicinities as ‘‘Roosevelt’s Folly.” Uncle Cy Hopper ses: “I see by the papers Yurup is gettin reddy to fite agin.

Or again: An industrious bank teller counting and stacking 90 dollars a minute, working ten hours a day and 300 days a year, could count one billion dollars in 62 years. Yet a lot of people refer to a billion as if it were cigaret money. The tally of those now unemployed in this country varies considerably. The American Federation of Labor estimates the number at 11,401,000. More optim{stic statisticians count but 9,000,000. We have, never had a very accurate count of the unemployed even at the bottom of the depression. But it is very ap parent that despite all the frantic efforts and the frantic preaching that has been done since March 4, 19338, the number of unemployed: has not been appreciably diminished. In the meantime for that the money has been spent it not been ‘spent, fast. current.

Novel Industry Here Ag om When anybody says he is ‘“‘feeling as fine as a fighting cock’’, he must feel especially fine, according to R. Greenway, whose hobby is breeding and rearing game cocks that fight., His 22-acre ranch in the Nevada City limits has more cocks to the acre than any other similar area in California. Now a fighting cock is a very different matter from the usual gaine cocks shown at fairs, These Green. ght. No. provotation is necessary. Their ‘victories over. low land and coastal birds teli the story of superior beak and Claw. And wild, thése game cocks spying a stranger among their coops, behave very much like the cock pheasants at the Napa game farm. They fly up to the roof and try to get out. Undisturbed, they strut and preen their beautiful plumage, Beau Brummels, every one. Their clarion challenge rings out through the clearing, feathered. knights, who fight to the death., Mr. Greenway has several strains of fighting games that run back to Revolutionary days, for cock fighting is an ancient sport. Prohibited though it is, it survives. Many «a cock on the Greenway farm is worth $6 a pound. The birds are shipped all over the country. The Ranger strain, which is crow black with long ‘tail feathers and a greenish iridescence, is one ‘of the more noted bred in ‘this chicken that resembles a gone wild, and hawks, all species, ap‘said that the birds, when a match is aviary, Then there is the Shuffler” a with gorgeous shining red bay hack4 les, and black background feathers, glorified brown Leghorn rooster’s plumage. There are a number of pied birds, with black, red and white colors that are like no other birds in the chicken world. These are the Little Giant Spanglers and—will they. fight? A half dozen pests attack these , birds: Foxes, skunks, owls, tame cats parently. It is a battle to raise these . mM fighting cocks. Of the horrible mura derous glare in the eyes of the owls when they attack these game birds roosting out on a limb at night, it is lighted in their pens at night, are reminded of the owl’s glaring eyes and instantly fly in the face of the. man lighting the match. A setting hen once so terrorized will throw ee, her entire clutch’ of eggs from her . nest, if a match ‘is lighted in her a pen. The memory of the owl’s murderous eyes persists to this extent in whatever brains the fowls have. Among the Greenway birds are several that were pets of the late N. A. Ramsey, who was once in part7g nership with Mr. Greenway in this novel enterprise. These are designated as ‘‘souvenirs’ and money cannot buy them. Their battles are over willy nlly. They are fed ad cared for as only fine, old horses are that have served well and faithfully their masters. a EDDIE POWELL GIVEN PROBATION AND FINED $400 A fine of $400 and a year’s probation was the sentence imposed by Judge Landis of Placer county upon Eddie!
