This road I refer to Is a short cut to Sacramento and is much traveled being a saving of seven miles distance Another matter is that of telephones In order to have telephone service we must build a line to the highway at Ft cost of about WO then pay $250 a month for the privilege of being on an eleven-party line But this Is not we then are unable to get Sacramento unless we pay an additional long-distance charge In this day of engineering and chemical wonders we still allow the telepehone companies to cornpute their costs on which charges to us are based on a competitive and I might also say on a mile basis basis Why is the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph not obliged to base their service areas on a zone plan and not on a long-mile center of zone to be the large cities and distance to be served to be measured on that basis and the small town local companies to maintain their Identity but to he subsidized by the Pacific Tzlephone and Telegraph? Why must farmers pay such an exorbitant price for a telephone and then not be able to get the nearest city where most of the business is transacted? Why must farmers pay high taxes and not receive the things for which they are paid? To remedy such intolerable conditions in one locality and in many other farm localities I also appeal to the egional Citizens' Council in the hope that the council will come to decide that aejusting of local farm matters are beyond the ability of farmers thernestives and must come from some such a body as they WAElELL Sacramento Dec 18 1928 Editor of The Bee-Sir: Rome time ago there appeared a date- newt by a member of the Re 1 I Cit izens' Coune a pal il in antiWei to an pp some peop a I le in Placers vine totality I believe for aseist- 'ma anc li oecur ng rotul improve- 'tient' Hutt it was not within the It seems to province of that body to take up local road matters me that on with the aid of some such otganization canadequate roads be secured for farm localities We are within thir- teen miles of each Winter for some periods after a rain are practically mar ned wcoeirneeintoirfendurdorwannehin llyhee Bradford and he ha failed to have called on our supervisor fr cm) Last Winter we pulled four autos make any repairs not even filling in the work chuck holes with gravel as Mr Deterding the eoun- ty engineer promised with Mr Bradford's sanction would be done It is 'shameful to think that with all other burdens a farmer muet bear chiefly of having to do bust- aces in a price-protected market while his products go unprotected that he must also have no proper means of communication We are sunposed to be living in the year 1928 while as a matter of fact we are still in the year 18no How much longer must fatmers rely tkt BY ANNE GARDNER ANOTHER EXPLANATION OF 1IAT ART REALLY IS Correopinidont Sees In Inspiration A True Example tIinr of the Bee Sir: The present discussion of the Inapilltnon figure in the library is pro- tItieirtienngsatoleoyastt infonnieotnolvmeritistenuticii ly- brilliant views on ad To compare that platue with any of the Three liraces in the Plaza la altogether beside the point To love art is like loving weather or language for art is an expression (trite enough etatement even if not generally known) and to love is to be silly No one truly loves art in general art is only to be loved in the particular Some art is to be hated other art feared while much that for ert in to be ignored for it has no expression it says nothing it is trivial An ait object Is not "what hi brought out in the mind of the obierver" The object remains the f11111 How can it be seneual to one person beautiful and pure to another and badly drawn to another?

Gerta rode down with them a boon to April because it relieved her of the necessity of contributing to the conversation and left her free to continue the thread of her fancy with Peter Thurston They turned in at an imposing gate and wound through half a mile of tree-bordered drive up to a rambling country house At the door they were let in by a butler April's first glimpse of the species In the flesh and the two girls were shown to two lovely connecting bedrooms each with a glimpse of the sound through the trees They hurried into silken bathing gulfs Gerta's blonde loveliness enhanced by the latest shade of green the bronze of April's hair and skin by a close fitting suit of red and white 13ob and lack Hedges were waiting at the foot of the broad stairs and the four ran down the steps out across the close-cropped lawn down to the beach A man was standing at the end of the pier looking down into the water a powerful figure in a wisp of a bathing suit his skin almost black from the sun Aril glanced at him with no particular interest and then raced down and threw herself into the water eager to get out where she could feel the force of the breakers She heard a shout ''Don't go out very far The ebb is very strong to-day" and she looked up In see that It was the clan on the bsd eddresed her She looked again scarcely able In believe her eyes The man was Peter Thurston Something hotsy-totsy In hat snatchers is introduced in the banquet room at one of the new hotels A man and woman are In charge He is in full evening dress with white glov'es and she is arrayed in a smart evening frock It becomes almost impossible to resort to dime tipping in presence of such elegance Will Rogers was so overcome he merely shook hands and invited them to tea 40 it may be a melancholy story ilut facts ale facts And there is a solemn warning therein against placing the slightest faith in the so-called Kellogg peace pact as an instrument for keeping any nation that wants to fight from doing so A poultry raiser In New Hempshit pays she thinks turkeys "know much more than liens" A truly conservative statement not likely to be successfully denied A SENSATIONAL ROYAL TRAGEDY IS RECALLED One of the most sensational royal 0 tragedies In European history occurred in the imperial hunting lodge at Meyerling near Vienna in 'GM when Archduke Rudolph heir to the Austrollungarian throne and his seventeen-year-old sweetheart Baroness Maria Vetsera wet loatla shot to death It was Immediately hushed up But the crime became an international mystery for which numberless solutions have been offered The man who invented the bet cheek system by the way is John Leffler who introduced it et Tony Pastors in 1897 But what Is more remarkable the gentleman is still alive WOMAN DECLARED ALWAYS INSPIRATION OF MANKIND Editor of The Tonight's edition carries a lame discussion of the statue Inspiration The name seems very appropriate to me as I see it Has not woman been the inspiration for psalms songs and many beautiful verses?
