PARTY FOR MONTH OF MAY.
City Mother Has Evolved a Really
Pretty Idea.

A mother who lives in the city is
planning to take dozen children out
into the county on a search for wild
flowers. Staying out of school this one
day is considered justifiable inasmuch
as the benefit to be derived will be
great.
She has provided a small basket for
each child and: will pack 12- dainty.
iuncheons, taking an alcohol lamp for
heating cocoa which she will carry in
large bottle. She has planned to
return home by three o'clock, treat
the children to ice cream and cookies,
then let them trim and fill their bas-
kets to be carried to a sick or crippled
child, she having made out the list
from names given her by the bureau
of charities. Seems to me this kind
OF party would be seasonable all
during the month of May.

Dear Sir,

with the outlook in this western eOzR-
try. For my own part ! am entir*.sJ
satisfied with the progress ] have
made since coming here. ] have rals<,a

% bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
We had splendid garden this yezs-
ripening successfully tomatoes, nlt1A-
melons, water melons, sweet corn ant
kindred sorts.
The country is well adapted TO
wheat growing and mixed farming, AID
to my mind it is the best country ED-
der the sun for man with a family
and small means, as it is possible fOe
a man TO commence farming opera
tions with much less capital than IS
required in the older settled countries-
The climate is all that could be de-
sired. being very healthy and iny.gor-

My wife came cut about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli

chas. Haigler Who Has Been Attend
 ing the U. $. C.

Chas Heigler returned Wednesday morning from Los Angeles. where dur ing the past winter he has been att tending the University of Southern California Mir. Haigler was accom- panied by a friend. Chas .Burch. also of Los Angeles but who. however. is not student at the University. Both intend to go to Globe within a couple of weeks to get work in the mines there. MT. Haigler's object in so do- ing is to get some actual experience in line with his work at school. He is taking course in mining engineer ing and will conclude with the class of 'O9.
 Mir. Haigler has been a student at the University now for several years. and while there has gained great dis tinction as an athlete. Eugene Shute. formerly of this place is also a stu dent at the California school and he too. has been making a good record in athletics. Both have been given fre- quent mention in school papers and the larger dailies of Los Angeles. The University Courier of May 23rd. the organ of the University. devotes much space to the subject of athletics and both MT. Haigler and MT. Shute come ir for their share of praise Shute's face appears in the various pictures of different athletic organizations. and a full view of him is presented in a half page ad of leading Los Angeles firm. in which he is characterized as "A Clean Athlete"
 A splendid cut of MT. Haigler is also printed and the Courier has the fol- lowing to say of him: Chas. Haigler of the class of 1909, is the man who will have the responsibility of the captaincy of football next fall. Hail gler came to L. s. C. two years ago, and since that time has entered hear tily into many phases of T.. s. C. life His Drowess on the football field re- ceived marked attention last season from the local followers of the grid iron sport. Shifted from half back to the right tackle position. his great strength and speed has been made to count for much in laying open the lines of opposing teams. No tackle in Southern California has come any where near equaling his performances either in offensive or defensive play. His l90 pounds of solid muscle backed by several years of experience in all departments of the game. makes him the ideal man around which to build our football team for next year.
 Not only in football does his athlet- ic ability show itself. but in track V ork also. With the hammer he is steadily improving, having tossed the 16-pound weight close on to i25 feet this last season. In the high jump he has cleared feet inches. a perform ance which would place him Tn most any Southern California dual meet.
 With Haigler at the head and sev- efal other stars of last falrs squad returning. L. S. C. looks forward to another season of gridiron success.

FAREWELL PARTY.

Curtis Pickens ras resigned his po- sition at the Lesueur- Gibbons Co. and will leave Saturday for Cananea, Mexico. where he has secured a posi- ton. On this account a number of his friends thought it would be a nice thing to give him a farewell party on Wednesday night. They did not say anything to Curtis about 1t, but took him unawares. where he could not back out if he wanted to. The party was given at the home of Guy and Miss Willie Attaway and when the guests assembled there one of the young ladies had no trouble in induc- ing the young man to walk with her to call on Miss Attaway The surprise was complete. but Pickens seems to have had the time of his life, even if it was unpremeditated.
 Miss Nellie Lesueur entertained the guests with music and there were cards and games of various kinds. Generous refreshments of ice cream, cake and watermelons were served. The occasion was one of the most en- joyable of the season. Those present were: Misses Willie Attaway. Bee Rogers, Lottie Noble. Nellie Lesueur, Lovina Ellsworth. Hattie Hawkins. Minnie Pomeroy. Jennie Hawkins and Hildah Ellsworth. and Messrs, Guy Attaway, Ray Lesueur. Chas. Black burn, Bert Vance. Harvey Smith, Frank Ellsworth. Erastus LeBaron. Lester Vance. Vivian Irwin.

The ranch is a deser: location, but consists of as fine land as can be found in the valley. MT. Galpin has commenced improving the place in the right way. He has car penters at work erecting a comfortable residence. and will as soon as possible install a pumping plant and then plant trees to furnish shade and firewood. The land will be put under cultivation as fast as possible Just north of Mir. Galpin's homestead Jed Peterson has a ranch which he reclaimed from the desert. He has farmed his for two 5I asons now. with remarkable success Among other Improvements. Mr. Pet erson has a ranch which he reclaimed from the desert. He has farmed his land for two seasons with remarkable success. Among other improvements MT. Peterson last winter planted 1000 eucalyptus trees. of the red variety. These are growing finely. and in few years he will have a grove that will not only be ornamental but will be worth a lot of money for firewood.
