because every old soldier who has reached the age of slxty-two years Is able to prove almost without possibility of doubt that he to one-half disabled from earning his support by mnwi labor This being so It seems unwise to put a soldier to the' expense of time and transportation to go to a place where a medical board examine him to find that fact out and on the other hand it seems unr necessary for the Government to keep boards established and to pay 93 for the examination of a veteran when the result of the examination can be so accurately foretold "Of the two hundred thousand examinations in

a would-be sensational press to flake big headlines 8 Johnson the new president and general manager at the Scott A Van Arsdale Lumber Company was In Btoson Wednesday In an Interview with the Sisson Mirror man Manager Johnson emphatically branded the rumors' as false and altogether without foundation He says there to nor has there been any intention of cutting the wages of anyone or raising the rates of rent lodging or necessaries of life at the stores The company however does not intend to throw money away on incompetent or Itinerant labor but will pay what that kind of labor Is worth It Is the desire of the company to employ good steady industrious men and will pay the best wages for that kind of labor It will not pay incompetent laborers the same wage It la almost Impossible to get a

supplies all manner of toadstools a luxury for not only himself but his family According to Gilbert who has made botany his special study ever since assuming bis present position at the University six years ago there are about seventy different varieties of mushrooms and toadstools to be found cn the University campus At the beginning of the season the ardent botanist commenced the collection of toadstools for the purpose of securing photographs of them Thus far he has found fifty-eight varieties and will secure the remainder as they appear during the spring months miss many fungus delicacies because they are afraid of said (Mr Gilbert when seen at his home 2027 Hearat avenue "I do not believe that a single specimen of the deadly toadstool to to be found on the University of California
