Lost Saturday morning Arthur
Doyle, white boy who was doing
time on the county farm, was sent
by Superintendent Forbes to grease
the wind mill. The mill is not far
from the prison quarters of the con-
victs, and as the boy had been given
some liberties about the place he
was sent on this errand without a
guard. He performed the duty as
sigued him, but as he has not yet
returned the superintendent is of
the opinion that farm work did not
agree with the youngster. The boy
was sent to the farm on a plea of
guilty to a charge of theft.

evidently hunting cash. No goods
have been missed, but the cash
drawer showed signs of having been
tampered with. 1t contained only a
few coppers and they were not taken.
The entrance was effected in a rath-

knife the putty was removed from
around a big pane of glass in a
window in the rear of the store.
The glass was then taken out. leav-

Servant Girl Problem.

There's a great deal Of non
sense talked among our women in
regard to "hired help" servant
girls or maids" as some of the
silly sisterhood call them. AS a
rule, the hired girl has the right
of it, for as a rule she has to deal
with a do-less, incompetent, help
less and lazy mistress, who was
never taught to do for herself or
think for others. It's about time
that the tiresome yammer of these
women about their indispensable
housekeeping "help" should
either cease or take on some prac-
teal point. At the recent Con-
gress of Women's clubs in Chica-
60, a woman, inspired by common
sense, laid down these rules for
the successful treatment Of SER
want girls:
Recognize that they are work
ing at a trade.
Pay the experts by the hour.
Let them share in the family
life.
Clearly define their duties.
Don't order suppers after the
hired girl has knocked off For the
day.
Give her the best labor-saving
inventions.
Cut out the talk about social
superiority and recognize Mary
Ann as a human being belonging
to the same sisterhood.
Teach the ignorant mistress
that caprice does not go with the
women who sell their time for
specified duties.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous foOd fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. Yeu must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..
Green s reliable remedies at D. A.

WATER
In the Kern River Field Is Now
an Assured Fact.

/ -
an Assured Fact.
There appears to be no longer
any reason to doubt that water
has become an alarming factor in
the great Kern river field, in
Kern county: California, particu-
larly in the vicinity of Bakers
field. The productiveness of this
remarkable source of low gravity
oil was the principal incentive for
the Standards 300-mile pipe line
from PIT. Richmond, on San Fran
cisco Bay, to connect with it. The
line was not a success as to hand
ling that heavy grade oil, and the
operation of the wells has been
curtailed for the lack of means
to dispose of the product, though
from 10000 to 10000 barrels of it
have been handled daily by rail
road transportation and large
quantity of it has been going into
storage, the Standard alone hay
ing several million barrels of it
in stock in it's tankage in that To-
cality. The buying both for stor-
age and shipment has been so ir-
regular and limited that it may
be said the field has never been
fully tested, but it has been one
of the greatest the country has
ever produced. By some it is con-
tended that the water with which
it is now troubled comes from
above the producing sand, while
others assert that it is from below.
What the real conditions are re-
mains to be developed. The most
important development now is the
fact of it's being no longer denied
that the water has become a seri-
GUS problem in the field. The fol-
lowing contribution on the sub
iect is from a Bakersfield CORES
pondent Of the Pacific Oil Repor-
ter:
The principal topic Of converse
ton with the oil men of Bakers
field and vicinity, is the increase
in the amount of water that is
being pumped in this field, and
the means that will have to be
used in dealing with the problem.
That a large amount Of water has
come into the field within the last
few months is at last admitted by
nearly all those having interests
here. The water has been gaining
on the wells for some time past,
but the owners and superintend-
ents have been very retlcent IN
admitting that any considerable
amount of water is being pumped
on their own leases, most of them
have been telling about how much
water the other fellow has and
how little their own lease pumps.
But the gravity Of the question
has at last brought them to the
realization of the fact that some
energetic means must be used to
overcome this difficulty or the
time will come in the future when
it will not be necessary to say
anything about the why's and
wherefores of the matter with an
enormous quantity of water com
ing from the Kern river wells and
very little oil.
Just where all the water that is
in the oil sand at the present time
comes from is a disputed point,
some Of the most prominent oil
men of the field insist that the
water all comes from the strata
of water sand that is gone
through before the oil is reach
ed, while others contend just as
strongly that the water is caused
by some companies drilling
through the oil sands into the wa
ter sands that seem to underlle
the Kern river field.

WHOM SHALL WE HIRE?
An Untried Man, or One Who Has
Made . Good Record.

The good results OF the affairs Of q
nation depend almost absolutely upon
its relations with other nations. There
is. under the present condition of thought
and affairs, an advancement in the
world--a community OF nations The
one among those nations which exhibits
the greatest honesty and tact and com
mon sense, il the nation which will
be to the fore.
Under the administration of the party
that is now controlling the affairs Of
the United States has occurred such ex-
traordinary diplomatic success as has
perhaps never been cxcelled by any ma
ton at ssy time. This success has ac-
crued because OF the tact and sense OF
the present President OF the United
States, assisted by his Secretary OF
State. The record has been something
extraordinary, and all the civilized world
has recognized it.
Tact and sense are just as much a
requisite in the conduct of the affairs
OF a nation as they are In the affairs
OF a corporation or an individual We
reward those who exhibit tact and sense
by continuing them in place, for our
own benefit. The conclusion need hardly
be expressed. Any American citizen OF
intelligence will know whom to vote for
this fall.

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks of It, but Relies on the
Strength of Tam many.

Judge Parker says this:
Whenever a great question of public
Importance has arisen, il has been pre-
scented and championed through the press
and on the rostrum by the educated
thinkers of the country, who, for the
time being, are the real leaders, and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be overthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
is true and right and sensible. But
what, after the expression OF such an
opinion. is Judge Parker's course? 1t is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the az
fairs OF the country. But what is Judge
Parker doing? Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State OF New York one OF the States,
the influence OF whose electoral votes is
great in the results OF the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon an un-Amer-
lean combination known as Tammany
Hail. Ii is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid OF this most cor
rupt organization, in the greatest city
of the country-an organization that has
simply become an enormous tester upon
the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all exigencies. by the
Democratic party, which, to the credit OF
that party, is a little above Tammany.
How ridiculous. under the c.rcum-
stances. is the attitude OF the more or
less qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
pus, Think of man who even talks
of the influence Of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success, in the
State OF New York, upon a conglomera-
ton of the most uneducated and vicious
elements eve gathered together in the
making of a political pool in a great
city. 1t is hard to say it, but Mr. Park
er cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
educated influence back Of him, or about
all that is good and broad and culti-
waited back Of him because without
Tammany back Of him in his own State,
he has not the shadow OF a hope, and
Tammany is the worst force there is
politically discredit to the country.
This is the nub Of the thing. This is
