BRAWLEY
Happenings of the Week From the North End.

The ground has been cleared for the new Methodist Church and construction work will soon be started.
 R. MaIan, who has been to Hunting ton Beach, san Diego and Los Angeles, returned on Tuesdays evening train.
 D. D. PeIlett, the efficient compositor at the News office, together with his wife, have gone to Los Angeles for short vacation.
 B.L. HutchingS, of Hutchlngs and Company, is with us once more. It is pleasant to see his genial face on the streets of Brawley again.
 Lou Varmey came in from Los Angeles last Friday and has gone to Calexico to relieve the head man there Mrs Varney will spend longer period with relatives.
 Photographer Hardy, with his force of assistants, passed through Brawley Wednesday on his way to Imperial. He reports the Alamo as being slightly higher than last week.
 Geo. Holloway has returned from Los Angeles, very much improved i'll health His family will remain in the city this coming winter in OI der that the children may attend school
 4 meeting of the Chamber of Com merce and Farmers is called for Satur- day afternoon. The discussion will be on the line of dairy and creamery work It is the object of the Chamber to get as many as possible of the farmers to buy dairy stock and if successful to a sufficient degree, there will be a com bination ice plant, condenser and creamery started at once
 The people of this section should use every effort at the coming election to put men into office who will fulfil the obligations of their respective offices. With the "blind pigs" and gambling hells existing here and elsewhere in the Valley, it has so far been impossible to get the proper authorities to take action. Instead of doing so much sug. gesting we would suggest to Mir. Carter that he come here and see for himself. He is the man to file complaints and bring these matters before the Grand Jury. There are two "pigs" here, as many or more in Imperial, and two or three in Calexico. When an inoffensive dentist in Imperial attempted to prac- tice without a license, the District Attorneys office was represented in the action against the violator of the wishes of the Dental Board. Now we want some representation in this saloon fight. The evidence is availa ble, now we want to see SOME interest at least, taken in this section of San Diego County.

"A TILL TAPER

Joseph Letter was in New York the 9TH
er day. He had luncheon at fashion
able restaurant.
During the luncheon the subject of
widows arose. and on this interesting top
ic many original ideas were expressed.
Mr.. Letter said:
Some widows are to be pitied; others,
again, are to be felicitated. My father
used to describe widow of the latter
sort
She lived in Maryland; she kept lit
tie village store. Her husband was a
worthless fellow. He never worked and
he drank great deal. A worthless fell
low, I repeat. but, nevertheless, when he
died suddenly, many persons made calls
of sympathy and coincidence on the
widow.
"My father did not call, but one day,
stopping at the store to buy some trifie
or other, he thought it was no more than
right to say in a feeling tone:
You must miss your husband a great

perience in the hope that 1t may prove
of some value to others. There are some
people in the world who cannot be made
to understand the value of old books, or
the sacredness of a promise.
1t is very difficult to keep library
books from being marked Often a little

be done. For the aid which kind-hearted
scholars have been to me by supplying
marginal corrections, references and

really they need not have violated the

/ might have been written upon a slip OF

WHEN BERTHA MIKES BREAD

When Bertha tucks her sleeves above
Her elbows plump and white,
And Sits the -four into the pan,
Because the sponge" is light:
And pourS the mass into the -four,
While singing merry song
My heart uprises like that yeast.
It beats so fast and strong
Why. say! 1 almost lose my head
When Bertha mixes bread
And when the little bits of dough
Cling to her fingers soft,
And she f1ipS the scraps into the flour,
Then holds her hands aloft
In mock despair because the bread
Has tried to overrun
The pan, and reach the kneading board
Before its work is done
When Bertha mixes bread.
The sparkle in her eyes so blue,
The pink upon her cheek,
Why, say! My common sense is fled
The curl that tumbleS Ger her brow,
All urge my lips to speak
The wish that's hidden in my heart;
But when I try--the least
I'm squelched by Bertha's apt reply
I'm glad I used this yeast:'
Oh, dear! The words that might be said
While Bertha mixes bread!
And when at last the rounded loayes
Are placed within the tins.
And Bertha, with crltlc's eye,
Surveys the outs and ins
OF that raw bread, and pats it well,
And says it's nieei ah, bliss!
In desperation born of love
/ snatch from her a kiss!
Who bfameS me il lose my head
