BIG BUILDING
New Shipping Shed of the Brawley
 Fruit Growers Association
Prom tLe Brawlev News:

From the Brawley News:
 The railroad reople are consratulat- ins inc members of the Brawley Fruit Growers Association on the splendid new shipping shed now nearing com pletion. It Is one of the largest in California and Is arranged to handle the largest amount of fruit and veget- ables possible with the greatest facility and dispatch.
 The building Is 3o6 feet long and 50 feet wide. The shipping platform Is 20 feet wide and there Is a IA foot driveway. Nine cars of cantaloupes can be accommodated at once under the long train shed. The driveway has turnouts at every point, so there will be no delay to any wagon bringing melons to the shed and unloading. As soon as the load on any wagon Is placed on the platform 1t can immediately leave without being forced to wait for the one in front
 An Ice eleva or will be built In the middle of the west side of the shed with an overhead slide and aerial tram way to carry the ice from that point to such cars as need icing. Many of the refrigerators will be iced direct from the cars in which the Ice is brought.
 This association expects to begin shipping about the 18th of this month.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES

Were the Guests of Prof. and
Mrs. Hoff Two Evenings.

Friday and Saturday evening Prof.
and Mrs. +. III. Hoff opened their
home IN Sixth Avenue east to their
friends in Sunday school and church
work, and two very happy evenings
resulted. Friday evening they en-
tertained tie Sunday school classes
of Rev. A. c. Bowdish, +. j. Her.
rick, and Mrs. +. S. Turney, and the
Congregational church choir. On
Saturday evening they entertained
Prof. Z. j. Quigley's bible class and
the husbands and wives of the mem
bers We're included in the invitation.
The entertainment on both even
ings was in the nature of Washing
tons birthday sentiment, consisting
music and recitations. The house
decorations We're emblematic of the
season, and the souvenirs that were
presented the guests were hatchets,
which had their significance. The
refreshments served consisted of
articles that had a prominence in
Washington's day, in which cherries,
etc, We're used.

stories floating around to his detri

and 1t was said that his congregation
had been pleased TO get rid of him,
and there We're other sly statements
and lnnuendoes calculated to make his
position uncomfortable.
There Is more or less gossip in every

that can't be found out. Mrs. White

Black from Mrs Green, and Mrs.
Green from Mrs. Brown, and SO it
goes. and the fo~untainhead Is seldom
located.
When the Rev. Bates came to find
out what n hotbed he had got into
he cut short his sermons to do a little
outside work. When he came to delve
into the situation he was more than
astonished. There was just one single
woman left in Harpersville who hadn't
been talked about to her detriment,
and she. was an old maid named Sarah
Lee. She was not only an old maid,
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1907-03-01

but she was extremely homely, and
the pastor hadn't been Investigating
long before he thought he had located
the fountainhead. In another week he
was sure of it.
The old maid was not a church mem
Der, but the pastor called on her just
the came and threw out broad hints
that the gossip and the s%candalizer
would have hard work to squeeze into
the better land when the time came.
Sarah agreed with him and two days
later cooked up another canard.
She was in command of the situation
up to q certain point. She was we'll to
do, and she had wealthy relatives to
stand by her. The minister saw that
he must so slow and bide his time.
There are clergymen who study the
subject of religion alone. There are
others who study human nature as
well. The Rev. Bates was one of the
latter.
"An old maid" he reasoned, ''is q
young who has been overlook
ed in the scramble or got left in the
shuttle. This fact has soured her tenn
per and made her envious and jealous.
The only way she can get Eve is to
use her tongue. She is down on all her
sex and Oh the married men of the
other. The tongue of one old maid
can stir up more mischief than five
ministers can smooth over"
When the pastor had reasoned that
Gar be took a rest for a few minutes
IND then continued:
What is the remedy for a tattling,
goss1ping, slandering old maid? Re
move the cause and the disease is
cured. In other words, If she can be
married off the spirit of spite will be
laid and she will have no reason to
Interfere with the peace Of mind of
others"
The line of reasoning was up to date.

difficulty has been removed. The Rev.
Bates was pitted against Sarah Lee
1t vas Lee versus Bates. He realized
that he would have to go at the end OF
a year Or Sarah Lee would have to be
provided with a husband. Not only
was the instinct of self preseSvafios-
appealed to, but If the question hal

answer would have been that one Rim
lister was worth ten times as much to
any community as an old maid. The
