A eliot Time" In CaIexico

Calexico, our strenuous neighbor on the border line, seems to be striving to live up to its reputation. It is the proud boast of her citizens that there IS always something doing" in that bailiwick. Last week our neighbor en- joyed the lime light of publicity on account of the frantic actions of one of her leading lights, who at the acme of his fame was pictured in a two column cut ia the Los Angeles Times. This week the same esteemed citizen en- deavored to express his sentiments in true and fluent style concerning fellow resident of CaleXico and was arrested and jailed for disorderly conduct, The character of the charge so incensed the incarcerated man that he smashed down the jail door, and getting an ax, smashed an innocent and inoffensive telephone. against which he had fancied griev- ance. For this he has been haled before Judge Banta and will be tried next Tuesday. What can Calexico be think ing of? Has spasm of moral ref,r swept over the place or is Judge Hoff- man absent?

"cOPPERED" THE PROPHET.
Weather Man So Often Wrong 1t Was
Sure Thing to Bet Against
Him.

. This is story OF weather Almanac
prophet, who may be called Thompson.
tells on himself, says the New Yorb
Press. While recently visiting s. Jersey
town he went into store to buy cigar:
He made his purchase and was about til
leave the store when the proprietor re-
marked:
. TITS a pity you have no umbrella. for
It's going to rain soon."
! II think you are wrong in your predic-
tion," replied Thompson. 1T looks like
fine weather to me.'.'
WELL" said the cigar store man. "I1l
bet dollar 1t will rain before noon."
4 VERY good, I'll call in again to-day
and collect" said Thompson. After
leaving the store he had gone only a few
blocks when he was well drenched by a
sudden shower. Thompson was struck
by the mans prediction, and being al
ways intent on the interest Of his alma
nae he went back to the store and was
received by the proprietor with broad
brin. F., ...
= "You see was right after ALL"
y "Yes," admitted Thompson. Here's
your dollar, and I'll give you another il
you tell me how you knew of this rain -
"Why, the truth is have an almanac
called Thompson's Almanac, and the fel-
low is such a notorious liar that when.
ever he predicts a fine day always know
1t will be the exact opposite. Hooked at
the almanac early this morning and pre-
pared for rain" = :r5- ~.

Along the Mississippi are distributed

that reach down to the rivers bottom

in length, the longest 200. In normal
times the water surface is read on these
gauges once a day; in times Of food
sometimes once an hour. The greatest
variation recorded is 69 feet at Cincin-
natl. The variation for slow rivers av-
erages from ten to Is feet, and up to 90
and 40 feet in rapid streams.

viously in good standing in the church
have made serious accusations against
Mr.. Smith.
He has been charged with taking the
money paid as an offering to the Lord"
and using it for speculations to build up
his own private wealth.
He has been charged with taking the
bodies OF the daughters of his subjects
and bestowing them upon his favor
ites;" OF taking property which be-
longed TO the widow and orphan and
having absorbed it into the possessions
OF the CROWN" with expressing the poor
members of the church for his own en-
richment; Of violating the laws OF the
church: OF committing crimes against
the government; of reasonable teach
ing, and OF forsaking a true spiritual life
for the worship Of mammon."
Accusers communicated.
Goaded into anger by these attacks,
President Smith has sought to retaliate
BY communicating persons who might
question his acts.
Already former Senator Frank J. Can
non. son of President George @. Can
non, one of the most celebrated leaders
of the Mormon church. has been cut off
for daring to express opinions in criti-
cism of the Mormon head.
Charles A. Smurthwaite. one of the
leading business men of Utah, high
priest in the church and a man whose
character has been above reproach; has
been disfellowshipped for charging
President Smith with bad faith and de-
handing an accounting of the church
funds
He is fighting the proceedings against
him, maintaining that, if given an OPP
portunity. he will prove every statement
he has made against the president of the
church.
Furthermore, he has put to test the
various reservations of the church to
the effect that polygamy and polyga-
nous cohabitation are no longer counte-
nanced by filing charges against one OF
the elders of the church. Hyrum H. Cod
dard, on the ground that this elder. is
violating the revelation against polyg-
amy by living with two wives.
The hierarchy is seeking to eyade the
issue by raising technical points, but it
is being continually put into the position
Of showing bad faith all around, and is
being forced into this attitude by its own
members.
Discomfort Grows.
According to impartial observers, the
discomfort within the church is growing
rapidly, and it, is said this same discon-
tent is manifesting itself in a way to
hurt the president in the most sensitive
place-the pocketboolz. Already it is
stated that the tithing is falling of
heavily.
Thinking men among the Mormons
are backing up Elder Smurthwaite's de-
mand that an accounting be made for
the tithing. They object to giving up a
tenth Of their incomes as an "offering to
