Such a ruling the District Attorney Warren did Land down after the student strike, but by that time the damage had been done.

It was perhaps all right for the gentleman to satisfy his morbid curiosity. Where he erred was in making his discovery public.

The Republicans claim the Democratic party is to blame for the recent bad times and deserves no credit for the better times now prevalent, the Republican theory being that the good fairies must have brought ’’em. The Democrats claim that such bad times as we’ve had since they moved in were really inherited from the final streteh of the previous administration, which, as they seem to recall, was one of the best times for bad times anybody ever saw. : If there are any little odds and ends of unclassified times floating around, both parties are willing for Senator La Follette to claim them for his very own.

WOMEN PLEAD ’ . FOR LIBRARY IN . CAMPTONVILLE: (By MRS. RITA DAVIS ) Gold Pan Lodge, Camptonville A large representative’ group of men and womén met at the MarysLi ville court house on Saturday, March 7, to make plans for the county’s campaign to acquire the most highly prized possession of .an intelligent community—a free county library system. Yuba is one of the twelve norththe entire state of no free library obvious in ern counties in California that -has facilities. It’ is, therefore, that men, women and children every other part of the state, even . in the most’ remote rural sections, enjoy cultural opportunities so far . in advance of ours, they make us appear either very unaggressive or entirely uninterested in the welfare of our communities in: general and of . our-own families in particular. What kind of books are the young people in your home reading? It, may be a revelation to you to -discover that they are quite often very objectionable, glorifying crime, immorality and indecency; filling} young minds with material of such shocking nature as to lead, in some cases, to lives of grave unhappiness. How can.you cultivate in them a taste for the worthwhi® things in life? By opening to them the gateway to fine ideals of manhood and womanhood through the medium of an easily accessible influence—good literature. : Is not at least one adult member of your family interested in some particular branch of industry—mining, lumber, chemistry, mechanics, science, the arts,’ music, handicraft or any other specialized field of endeavor too numerous to mention here? Go to your local library. You can get books on any subject for the asking.If it is not on hand, it will be obtained for you, usually within a few days. You vay nothing, for the service. The library is yours. The librarians want to help you, cooperating with the state library to supplement what the county library may lack. The taxpayer is, of course, most concerned. ‘How much will the library tax amount to?’’ is the uppermost thought in his mind. The answer is—less than a year’s subscription to a five cent weekly magazine. The annual rate will not be more! than at fifty five cents per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. What a small amount to pay for a necessity of such vast. importance to a community. How can you get a library branch close to you? Merely by telling your supervisor that you want it. That is all. Each individual of voting age should immediately send him a postecard, or tell him personally that you want a free library branch in your vicinity. Petitions are also being circulated. Sign them!

Older forms have been found in Arizona ‘atrd New Mexico, but Africa alone appears to hold the species leading up to the advanced reptile and primitive mammal life. These collections increase the evidence in favor of the theory of evolution and, from another practical standpoint, aid in the determination of the sites of certain coal and mineral deposits. In making the collection Dr. Kamp used a well tried out automobile which had negotiated the sketchy roads and trails of the remote Transvaal regions with some degree of success before. The region was the scene of the war between the Britsh and the Boers at the beginning of the century and contains many world . famous diamond mines. ; \ Dr. Camp’s collection will be the third of its kind in the country when It Over!
