Weilbye was at the wheel. After his arrest he refused to be convinced that the constable was not a representative in disguise of the Interests behind the consolidation amendment and he would not be pacified until the officer promised that he would vote against the proposed amendment.

president of the chamber, and E. W. DeOmbraln, i SAN RAFAEL GIVES SUPPORT. Strong opposition to the amendment has also developed at San Rafael, the county seat of Marin, where the newspapers are urging their readers to vote against the measure. A recent editorial in the Independent of San Rafaelglves this advice: The people of the State of California should not lightly set aside the present constitutional guaranty of the efficiency of the county government and the county administration.

In' view of this fact of the case It is a safe proposition to vote against, the amendment to Section 7 of Article XI, of the constitution, authorizing anexation across county lines, Involving division of counties and liabilities for existing debts of the territory divided or merged.

Juvenile Financiers Expected to be Result of New De- parture.

Oakland school children may soon be given an opportunity to show their talents as juvenile financiers If the policy at Fruitvale school No, 2 Is generally adopted. There the school children have formed themselves into clubs for the propagation of pigeons, poultry, rabbits and other domestic and utilitarian -birds and animals. So successful have the "hobby clubs" proved that boys and girls have been able to show a tidy financial profit and an entirely new channel of school life has been 'opened. The teachers lend advice and encouragement to the youthful farmers and space is provided for demonstration purposes. Principal W.

D. Spencer is con vinced that the hobby clubs properly come under the head of agriculture, which is now a part of the public school curriculum. Furthermore, he has found that the following out of a hobby or carrying some particular and -pleasing line of endeavor develops in the boy or girl steadiness of character and creates a determination of purpose well worth cultivating.
