AwfuIly Cruel.

The Imperial Press. in rude, ri- bald. sarcastic manner. pokes fun at the alleged Government experts who have been Investigating and con demning the lands Of the Cobra 10 desert There was one particular To- cation which these experts declared solemnly and positively would grow nothing-it would be useless to plant anything upon it. Yet some one without the fear of the expert before his eyes plowed that land. planted it with barley and now comes the Press with a handsome photograph show ing heavy growth of grain thereon knee high on the 18th of February on the identical soil that the experts condemned as being as barren as the north pole Beyond the cold state ment of fact the Press makes no com ment But it is awtully cruel of that paper to do such things.

IrrigatlOn With Water.

The editor of the California Culti- yator is a little dubious about the question of irrigation, as would ap- pear from the following extract clipped from that paper:
 In "A Chatechism" published by the Imperial Farmer, appears the follow ing: How Do You Irrigate?" With Water" We hadn't supposed such a thing possible. Just to thiHk of irri- gating with water. If Editor Howe wasn't one of the most truthful men cn the face of the earth. one would be disposed to doubt the truth of his reply. Water, and irrigating with it. Well, we'll, wonders will never cease. We have heard much of the Imperial country, but the idea of irrigating with water, of all things in the world!
 Yes, at Imperial they do irrigate with water and there Is no bar" across the canal to interfere with the free flow O; the water. In the cities there is a bar" at the point of irrigation and the irrigation liquid, is sometimes conveyed over this bar in schooner.

The Hand tbat Rocks the Cradle RuIes
 the World.

The following poem from the pen of William Stewart Ross. is one of the gems of the English language. both because of its sentiment and It's simplicity of expression. It is true that the cradle has gone out of date but lts memories still finger in the minds of the older portion of the hu- man race as found in the United States:
 They say that man rules the universe That subject shore and main; Kneel down and bless the empery
 Of his majestic reign But soverign. gentler. mightier.
 Man from his throne has hurled For tb hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world In deep mysterious conclaye.
 With philosophic minds Solving portent.ous problems.
 His boouess task man finds; Yet all his dreams of dare and do
 To heavens four winds are hurled For the hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world. Amid the reel of gore and steel.
 Behold the hero stand; Behold the blade of victory
 Clenched in his dying hand: That hero hand for ases rules
 Mail rent and standard furled- But the hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world. Great statesmen sway the nations.
 Kings mould peoples fate. But the unseen hand of velvet
 These giants regulate. The nations doom hangs on the babe. In that wee blanket curled. And the hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world. 'Tis yours to bring back Eden
 To vanquish hate and crime. Till all curses turn to kisses
 On the rosy path of time. Proclaim 1t meath the spangled sky,
 The flag of God unfurled The hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world.

May Contract Water.

For several years the question as 10 whether a water company might make a contract with land owners who were to become water consumers, by which the water company obligated itself to furnish the water and the consumer obligated himself to pay for such delivery a certain price per an mum or per inch, has been a settled cne. Some of the courts have held that such a contract could not be made but that the Board of Supervis- CTS had absolute power to fix the rates that were to be paid for such water, notwithstanding a contrac. might have been made fixing a rate.
 This question is now absolutely settled. In a recent case before Judge E. NJ. Ross of the United States Dis trict Court for Southern California 1t is held as follows:
 An appropriation of water in Cali fornia for sale, rental or distribution to consumers, have the right under the Constitution and laws of the State as construed by it's Supreme Court to make valid contracts with consumers for the furnishing of water and for the rentals to be paid therefor. Where such a contract has been made the rights of the parties are governed thereby, and are not affected by the subsequent action of the Board of Supervisors of the county, taken under the statute, fixing the rates to be charged for water by such apppropria- tor"
 This settles the right of parties to make contracts for the delivery of water without submitting the question to the Boards Of Supervisors. Such contracts can be made, and they will stand, and they cannot be interfered with by any Board of Supervisors.
 Judge Ross also decides that in case or a shortage of water from causes beyond the control of a water com pany the company does it's duty when 1t distributes the water under its con- trol pro rata among it's customers.
 Neither of these decisions have any bearing on the state of affairs in the Imperial Settlements but are given simply to place before the public the fact that two important questions here tofore unsettled are now definitely placed beyond dispute

FALL WOOL CLIP.
One Thousand Bags Received. Sea-
sons Concentrations VIII APP
proximate ESQ, 900 Pounds.


The fall wool clip of the San
Angelo territory for the current
season is coming in nicely, con-
centrations to date amounting to
nearly 1000 bags. The clip may
be said to be in very fair condi-
tion and clean to u nice and salts
factory degree. Indications now
are that the San Angelo wool
market has lost none of its for
mer prestige as the leading one of
Texas and that the current sea-
sons concentrations, which, it is
now estimated, will rearch:750, 900
pounds, will hear this out.
The same well known wool COM
mission men, who have been safe
guarding the interests of the wool
growers of this territory for years,
are still here, being as follows.
G. w. Hobbs, B. G. Jackson,
March Bros, Neleey Bros, Geo.
Richardson.
These are the men whose efforts
have done so much for the sue
cess of the San Angelo wool mark
ct. Though they are known to
always be firm and true to their
consignors' interests, they stand
well with the buying clientele
and those who periodically come
here in large numbers to repres-
ent them, on account of high per-
sonal character and solid finan-
cially responsibility. 1t is now
confidently hoped that fall prices
will be satisfactory and prospects
generally are that sheep husband
ry on the whole, is promising and
bids fair to continue a renumera-
tive calling.

she is state lecturer for that or

of plain facts and earnest APP
peals to the manhood and woman
hood of San Angelo she has at

action. Statistics show that in
the United States alone there are
more than POO liquor dealers,
and 179,94o deaths every year
caused by the drink habit, and
1928 mothers every year rock
the cradles that must furnish the
material to be destroyed by the
liquor traffic. 1t is no wonder
that 100000 women have banded
themselves together to protect
their homes from this awful
doom. Every day when the
clock strikes twelve 100000 petit
tions go up before the Throne of
Grace for the complete annlhila-
ton of the liquor traffic Cry
