(Contributed) That vicious era of big time crime that J. Edgar Hoover and his G-men have erased so completely began, you will recall, in the days of prohibition. From their illicit traffic, gangsters gained huge profits with which to buy protection and wield great power. __ But though they've been crushed by repeal and the Gmen, we have still to complete the job of wiping out bootlegging, carried on now not by gangsters, but by petty dodgers of alcohol taxes. The astonishing truth is that in California today, thirty per cent of all alcoholic beverages consumed er AOE Aviator About To Land is bootleg. -Quintuplet Tax (Contributed) ,; Now that the quintuplets are two years old and everyone to wishing them a happy birthday this week, it isbeing \hicpcred about that maybe they won't be having such a very happy birthday “on account 6f what looms ahead. Canadiens, who sometimes copy new U. S. methods, are said to be considering a Quintuplet Tax. With all the movie money the quints have and some more also, they ve become a pretty hic business. And: besides look how many there are. If it's done the U. S. way, they'll only put a $40 tax on Marie. Yyonne will have to pay $80, and Cecile $200. All over three will. be taxed $500, which will leave Annette and Emilic in a pretty bad spot, since they'll have to decide whether to leave home or go out of business. HUB WHITEMAN, there is—remembers very well when this picture was snapped as he was about to part company with Tin Ears, a very mean bronc. Whiteman is one of the top-notch riders to be seen in action at the great fourth Annual California Stampede to be held May 30°and 31. a Texas buckaroo—and one of the best at Marysville on STAMPEDE, SHOW AT MARYSVILLE TO DRAW CROWD MARYSVILLE, May 28.—Officials of the fourth annual California Stampede to be held in Marysville on May 30 and 31 today, gave up an describe the two day show and contented themselves with the statement that the huge carnival of western You can scarcelyblame the women of Canada, naturally resenting the efficiency of Mrs. Dionne, for organizing to push this Quintuplet Tax through Parliament. After all, the quints are getting more than their share of attention. They'll have some competition from now on, of course, since those quadruplets have appeared in Passaic, New Jersey. These might. escape any U. S. Quadruplet Tax, however, because if Congress voted to put a progressively higher . levy on the first three and $500 for all over that; there’d be only one left who might have to go out of business. But the least we can expect for the quadruplets will be a Congressional investigation. Meanwhile it will be interesting to watch how the Canadians come out on their Quintuplet Tax idea. DR., MRS. HUMMELT WILL TAKE VACATION TOUR Dr. and Mrs. B. W. Hummelt of Nevada City will leave Sunday for a month’s vacation on a tour of the United States. From Southern California they will journey through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas by train to New Orleans where they will . latives of Mrs. Hummelt. Dr. and Mrs. Hummelt will take delivery of a car at Detroit and journey to New York, Philadelphia and many of interest. They have purchased a moving: picture camera and will return with a choice lot of pictures of their trip. In-their absence Dr. W. S.

Stampede performers booked for contest at the Flying J ranch on Saturday and Sunday are past, pyesent and future champions in all departments of the game. Horses entered in the. seven daily races include the cream of bay Meadows Tanforan and _ other western stables. Livestock, to have a separate establishment this year, is the choice of Yuba and _ Sutter eounty ranches. No single feature of the egreat show, however, is more interesting than the troop of Imperial Russian Cossacks who. arrived this week to polish off their training in the local scene. This spectacular entry is only one of» a dozen sensational features that will add to the contests in the arena and on the track to attract! thousands to the new stampede plant . and its standard, half mile face!
